With the black figure's tyrannical ruckus, everyone present was instantly dumbfounded, and Zhu Yao was no exception. She almost couldn't hold the weapon in her hand, and her heart was thumping wildly. Only then did he start to feel a lingering fear.
In fact, ever since her master came down to the Mortal World to look for her, she had a faint guess that the darkness was not simple. Even if he was not an immortal from the Upper Realm, he was definitely an extremely powerful being. But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she would never have guessed that it was actually the legendary demon race.
Zhu Yao instantly felt like crying, and had the urge to throw away her burden and go on strike. Motherf * cker, that's the Devil Race, the legendary race that only existed in ancient times. They fought to the death with the God Race, the race that both sides received a bento box. How could mere mortals like them fight with him? They were either tired of living or tired of living. They weren't even on the same level, okay?
Could it be that she had accidentally activated the Protoss branch, so a demon bloodline had popped out to make up for it?
Damn it, other than having a dragon's body, she didn't have the so-called God Race's abilities at all, okay? She hadn't even received the most basic inheritance of the dragon. Otherwise, how could she have remained a Soul Formation cultivator?
"Venerable One, what should we do next?" Probably because this scene was too shocking, a Nascent Soul practitioner turned around and looked at Zhu Yao who was still standing at her original spot.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone who was still immersed in the shock of the appearance of the Demon Race seemed to have recovered from their shock and looked over in unison. That's right, earlier, the only one who could deal with the Devil was Sovereign Zhu Yao alone. They still had hope.
Zhu Yao felt a chill being stared at by the countless pairs of eyes that were waiting to be fed, ah pui, filled with hope. Instinctively, she took a step back. If she said she didn't know either. Would he be beaten to death?
"Don't panic, everyone." Zhu Yao took a deep breath, suppressing her shock. "I think that Devil has yet to fully mature. At the very least, he has yet to completely revive. Otherwise, there would be no need to borrow the body of a xiuzhe. Moreover, I just forcibly removed him from the host's body. He must have been seriously injured. The only thing we can do now is to get rid of him before he recovers his strength. "In short, it's better to take advantage of his illness and kill him. No, it's better to take advantage of the victory and pursue him.
Everyone heard this. There was finally a glimmer of hope in his despairing eyes. That's right, they won the battle just now.
"This matter cannot be delayed." Zhu Yao instructed with a stern expression. "We must definitely find them before the Devil recovers, otherwise, there will be endless troubles in the future."
Everyone's expression turned serious. In the face of a huge matter of life and death in the cultivation world, the various clans and sects displayed unprecedented unity. One after another, they began to declare that they would send out all of their disciples, and carry out a large-scale search operation. Other than Celestial Indus Sect and Azureflight Sect.
As the main culprit for harboring the demons, although the other party was also a victim, they had completely lost everyone's trust. For a time, these two sects received everyone's hostility.
It was supposed to be a show to force the Emperor to abdicate. However, because of the appearance of the Devil Race, it had turned into a battle between races. Initially, Ancient Hill Sect, who was about to be forced to give up the right to host the Inter-Sect Tournament, was forced to do so. However, he once again stood in the leading position, and it was logical and unbreakable. No one would have thought of such a plot twist.
Under Zhu Yao's instructions, the news of the Devil's reappearance quickly spread throughout the entire cultivation world. Almost every xiuzhe. Even evil cultivators began to search for traces of the Devil Race on their own. Mu Meiyan's name had already resounded throughout the entire cultivation world.
That's right, it wasn't Rulu. It was Mu Meiyan.
Back then, when Rulu was expelled from Celestial Indus Sect, she changed her name to Mu Meiyan and escaped into Azureflight Sect. Hence, everyone thought that Mu Meiyan was the Devil's real name.
Zhu Yao thought that with so many people searching for her, she would be able to obtain news of Mu Meiyan not long after. She never expected that after an entire three months had passed, forget about Mu Meiyan, even Yue Hanxin, who was captured along the way, did not have any news at all.
She would rush over at the first instant whenever there was a suspicious piece of news. However, there was not a single one of them. Not even a single strand of the Devil's hair could be seen. Mu Meiyan and Yue Hanxin, this love-hate pair, seemed to have evaporated from the world, and had disappeared without a trace.
Zhu Yao could not help but feel a little anxious as well.
"Yu Yao." Yu Yan sighed. His stupid disciple had already walked back and forth in front of him more than a hundred times, and he was about to faint. Yet, his disciple, who was usually like a firecracker, was currently surprisingly silent. He had already appeared for a long time, yet, she did not have the slightest bit of reaction. Mn, he was unhappy.
"Master?" Zhu Yao seemed to have only just realized the figure that suddenly popped out from the jade pendant. Startled for a moment, she frowned a moment later, and continued to walk back and forth. "There's something I can't figure out."
"What is it?"
"Just where did that Devil pop out from?" How did he appear? And how did Mu Meiyan obtain him? Ever since the first time she met the resurrected Mu Meiyan, that shadow had been by her side. Evidently, that shadow had existed since the very beginning, and it was even possible that Mu Meiyan's resurrection and possession were the handiwork of the Devil. Otherwise, when Radish was being possessed back then, why would Mu Meiyan's soul directly appear in Radish's divine sense, and not be detected by anyone? And, after the possession failed, the black hole she left was very strange as well, and did not seem like any sort of divine art.
That Devil definitely did not simply have a blood contract with Mu Meiyan. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to help Mu Meiyan with all his might. Devils did not have much humanity to speak of. He must have some sort of goal for doing this, or perhaps, he had reached some sort of agreement with Mu Meiyan.
Then, could she guess that from the very beginning, Mu Meiyan was not some sort of bug, and the real bug was actually that Devil in her body? Perhaps, her method from the very beginning was wrong. The one she truly had to guard against was that Devil, and not Mu Meiyan.
Yu Yan lightly frowned, and a moment later, he said. "Devils are naturally murderous, and have always existed in this world. However … Ever since the Ancient Era, they were completely sealed by the God Race."
"There were no fish that escaped the net?"
"If there were, how could the current cultivation world exist?"
"Master, you're saying …" Zhu Yao's eyes shone. "That wasn't a true Devil."
Yu Yan frowned, and shook his head. "Yes, and no."
"Ah?" What did he mean? Can we speak in human terms?
"Did you realize that there was something abnormal about that Devil?" Yu Yan continued.
"Abnormal?" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "Does being abnormally strong count?"
Yu Yan looked at her with disdain, sighed, and gave her an expression that said 'as expected, you're stupid'. "Other than you, if anyone else attacked that Devil, what effect would there be?"
"Effect? What effect would there be? The others basically did not hit … "Zhu Yao said halfway, and suddenly widened her eyes." He doesn't have a physical body? "
Yu Yan lightly nodded. His disciple could be considered to be so stupid that there was medicine that could save her.
"That Devil's physical body has already been destroyed?" Zhu Yao instantly grew a little excited. Every living being in this world had a soul, and the only thing that could contain a soul was a physical body. No matter if it was a demonic beast, a beast, or a human, it was the same. Other than the Path of Reincarnation, which could temporarily contain a soul. All souls that had lost their physical bodies could not exist in this world for more than seven days. After seven days, their souls would completely dissipate.
"But … That Devil clearly could leave Mu Meiyan's body." Back then, when she was in Azureflight Sect, that shadow came alone, and Mu Meiyan was not nearby. "Furthermore, that devil was clearly here before Mu Meiyan took over his body." Back then, when he had taken over Rulu's body, Back then, when he took over Rulu's body, that Devil could have simply come by himself, so why did he have to bring Mu Meiyan along? And they were even like a loving family, coexisting peacefully for so long. This was simply illogical. Even if a Devil's soul could reside in anything … Wait a minute, anything? Could it be … "That Devil did not possess Rulu's body, and instead, resided in Mu Meiyan's soul?"
Yu Yan deeply frowned, and then nodded. There was indeed such a possibility.
Zhu Yao instantly felt a little speechless. This Devil was a little too unlucky, wasn't he? What could he not find to reside in? He found a soul to reside in. It was no wonder he had to help her take over her body, and act as her nanny along the way.
"This Devil … Is he sick?" Zhu Yao could only understand it this way.
"Most likely, when his original body was destroyed, he basically did not have the time to find a suitable physical body, so he could only reside in the soul of a human practitioner whose physical body had similarly died."
Zhu Yao wiped off her sweat. Why would a soul make things difficult for a soul?
That's not right. They were already a loving family.
Zhu Yao took out the mirror-like mystic artifact she had refined, and muttered. "In other words, the one I slashed earlier wasn't a connection through a blood contract. It's not a blood contract, but a soul link between the two of them? "
"Mn."
Zhu Yao's face darkened, as she had a bad premonition.
"In other words, that sword of mine had instead helped him, allowing that Devil to enter a new physical body."
"Of course."
"The hell." Zhu Yao suddenly had the urge to stomp her hands. This is what you get for having such a cheap hand!
"However …" Yu Yan continued. "That sword of yours had injured his soul, and no one can repair the damage to his soul. Even if the Devil were to take over his body, he might not succeed."
"In other words, he temporarily will not be looking for a new physical body?"
"Mn."
Huuu ~ She was given a fright. He did not even pant when he spoke.
Yu Yan looked at the mystic artifact in her hands as well. This was something he could not understand at all. Theoretically speaking, things like souls were intangible, yet his disciple was actually able to sever them. He was a little suspicious as to what exactly his disciple had refined.
Zhu Yao's line of sight looked towards the weapon in her hands as well. Honestly speaking, even she was shocked, alright? Back then, she simply wanted to refine the sharpest weapon, and the one in her hands was indeed a genuine tenth rank mystic artifact.
However …
Zhu Yao pulled the handle of the mirror and turned it, instantly separating the mirror and the handle. The mystic artifact which was still overflowing with spiritual energy earlier, instantly showed two extremes. The part on the handle, the spiritual energy was even denser. Earlier, it was just a regular tenth rank mystic artifact, but now, it was emitting the aura of a top-grade mystic artifact. The other half of the mirror, however, instantly dimmed, turning into a regular copper mirror. It could not even be considered as a mystic artifact.
However, what truly injured the Devil was not the tenth rank top-grade handle, but this regular copper mirror.
"Just what item did you refine?" When his disciple was refining the artifact, Yu Yan had been watching her the entire time. However, he still could not understand. It was clearly a very ordinary item.
Zhu Yao smiled. "Back then, I simply wanted to refine the sharpest item. Later on, I recalled that item had always been by my side."
"It's not Profound Nether Metal?" That was the most special piece of material he had left for his disciple. If it was refined properly, there was a possibility that it could be refined into a divine artifact.
Zhu Yao shook her head, pointed to the sky, and said. "It's light!"
