The Demon Palace was larger than Ye Zhen had imagined, but there was nothing special about it. It was similar to the Zhou Imperial Palace she had seen before. The only thing that surprised her was the Priest Hall in front of her.
In the past, when she was captured by Qi Ruoshui, her place was also called the Priest Hall. Later, the entire Priest Hall was burned down.
Who burned the Priest Hall back then?
Ye Zhen's expression was somewhat dazed. A tall figure flashed through her mind. The figure was very blurry, and she couldn't see it clearly at all.
"Yao Yao?" Seeing her standing there in a daze, the Supreme called her name a few times.
Ye Zhen came back to her senses and looked at the Supreme. Her first thought was that he couldn't be the person in her mind.
Who was that person?
"What did you think of?" the Supreme asked in a low voice.
"Nothing," Ye Zhen replied lightly. "Why did you bring me here?"
"If you don't like living in the Demon King's Palace, then live here from now on. I will teach you how to refine the Demon Core."
"If you help me, aren't you afraid that I will deal with you in the future?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Why do you want to deal with me?" the Supreme asked in a low voice.
This question stumped Ye Zhen. Why do I want to deal with him? He didn't seem to have done anything unforgivable. Apart from impersonating the Supreme of the Great Sage Sect, he didn't actually do anything bad in Mount Xingyun. Instead, the Great Sage Sect grew a lot stronger because of his existence.
If the Great Sage Sect didn't have Supreme, it would probably have been destroyed by the other sects long ago.
"If you lead the Flame Demons to attack the Xuantian Continent in the future …" Ye Zhen hesitated. If the Xuantian Continent and the Flame Demons couldn't avoid a fierce battle, then the Supreme would definitely fight for the Flame Demons.
"Why must we attack the Xuantian Continent?" the Supreme asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen heard the helplessness in his voice. She glanced at him. "Don't you want to survive?"
The Supreme nodded lightly. "Yes, we do. Actually, many years ago, the Flame Demons and martial artists could coexist."
"Then why … is there hostility today?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Follow me." The Supreme walked into the Priest Hall.
The walls of the hall were carved with Red Spider Lilies and various demonic beasts, many of which Ye Zhen didn't know the names of. At the very center was a huge incense table. The incense altar on it was burning with black sandalwood.
Bang — bang — bang —
Ye Zhen felt as if she had seen this hall before, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it. She just felt as if there was a dull drumbeat in her mind. She frowned and looked around in confusion.
She stood in the middle of the hall. The ground was decorated with a blooming red spider lily, and she was standing right on top of it.
"Have I seen such a place before?" Ye Zhen frowned.
"That's the memory of your Devil's Dan." The Supreme Being whispered.
Hearing the words of the Supreme, Ye Zhen subconsciously wanted to resist the image in her mind. She did not want to have anything to do with the Flame Demon.
The more she didn't want to think about it, the more those scenes appeared. Her head instantly felt like it was going to explode.
He gently hugged her hand, his slender jade-like fingers glowing.
The images that quickly appeared in her mind finally stopped. Ye Zhen's face was slightly pale as she looked up at the supreme standing in front of her. "Those … are they all true?"
"What did you see?" Shangguan Yi retracted his hand and looked at her gently. "What did you see?"
"Massacre …" Ye Zhen whispered. The fast-flashing images became clear in her mind. She retched and her face became paler and paler.
Shangguan Yi's eyes darkened. He picked her up and left quickly.
…
…
Ye Zhen had experienced many things, whether in the human continent or the Xuantian Continent. She had personally participated in wars and was accustomed to life and death. But this was the first time she had seen such a cruel and inhumane massacre.
She didn't see it at the scene, but she could hear the sound of bones and flesh being cut. The ground was covered with blood, and there was hardly a clean spot.
They were obviously human beings, but they were like beasts gnawing on the flesh and bones of their own kind.
"They are Flame Demons, not our kind. We must kill them all."
"Kill them, don't let them snatch the spiritual power from us …"
"Help, help!"
The blade rose and fell, and blood splattered everywhere.
"I heard that girls who eat Flame Demons can make their bodies stronger and absorb spiritual power better!"
"Capture all the girls."
Ye Zhen couldn't wake up from her dream. She seemed to have been brought to the Xuantian Continent of a thousand years ago. At that time, the Xuantian Continent and the Flame Demons still lived on the same continent, but the different species of people couldn't seek common ground. To the humans of the Xuantian Continent, the existence of the Flame Demons was a threat.
A thousand years ago, the Flame Demons didn't look like this. Their bodies were taller and stronger than humans, and their cultivation speed was faster than humans. Therefore, humans couldn't tolerate their existence in the Xuantian Continent.
That was the first war between humans and demons. Because humans were the rulers and they had the advantage in numbers, they regarded the Flame Demons as heresy and almost exterminated them. At least a thousand Flame Demon girls were roasted alive and eaten by humans.
The Flame Demons were defeated and fled to the present-day Flame Region. This was a place where humans couldn't survive, but the Flame Demons could, so they survived.
After five hundred years, the Flame Demons slowly evolved and cultivated in the Flame Region. They became more and more like humans, and their cultivation also became stronger.
As they grew stronger, the Flame Region gradually became unsuitable for them to live in.
The Flame Demon King wanted to lead them back to the Xuantian Continent.
The hatred of humans cooking and killing the Flame Demon girls still remained in the hearts of the Flame Demons. Another war between humans and demons erupted in the Xuantian Continent. This time, the humans suffered a crushing defeat, and the Flame Demons snatched the human girls back. However, just as they were about to cook and kill them, a War God appeared and led the human martial artists to the Flame Region to rescue those girls.
The Flame Demons were ordered not to step into the Xuantian Continent again, and could only live in the Flame Region forever.
Following that, it was the third great war between Emperor Mo and the Flame Demon King.
When Ye Zhen woke up, she discovered that her face was covered in tears.
"Yaoyao …" The High Lord was sitting next to her, looking at her with a quiet and sorrowful gaze.
"Did you intentionally let me see all of this?" Ye Zhen wiped away the tears on her face and looked at him coldly.
The High Lord shook his head lightly. "No, I didn't expect … it would turn out like this. I thought you would have already forgotten about it."
Ye Zhen closed her eyes. "So what if it's like this? It doesn't mean I'm the Flame Demon King."
"Yaoyao, you are a kind person. No matter if it's a Flame Demon or a human martial artist, you definitely can't bear to see something like that happen again." The High Lord said in a low voice. "The Flame Demons don't naturally like to kill those martial artists."
