The next day.
After a good night's rest, Li Nianfan woke up facing the morning sun. He immediately felt refreshed and comfortable.
"Master, let me help you change." Daji, who was waiting at the side, immediately began to serve him gently.
Huo Feng also walked over with a wooden basin and said, "Master, the water to wash your face is also here."
Seeing such a stunning beauty early in the morning, who was as majestic and sacred as a goddess to the outside and as gentle as water to the inside, Li Nianfan was even more satisfied.
He smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "You're really my good wife."
After he was dressed properly, Li Nianfan walked out of the room and breathed in the faint fragrance of flowers. A beautiful day had begun again.
"Master …"
Suddenly, a small murmur came from the side, with a hint of grievance.
Li Nianfan turned around and almost jumped in fright.
He saw the hairless Blackie lying at the door. Its ears were drooping as it looked at Li Nianfan. It looked like a huge hairless mouse.
Without its majestic dog fur, Big Black had obviously lost a lot of weight, revealing its red and white skin. It was really funny.
In such a state, it naturally would not return to Dog Mountain. Otherwise, its reputation would be destroyed in a day, and its majesty would be gone.
Li Nianfan took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the laughter that he wanted to let out. Then, he closed his eyes to adjust his state. When he opened them again, his eyes were full of sympathy and pity.
He said, "Big Black, you've suffered! But it's okay. In this season, it's just right to cut your fur. It's cool. "
"Wu wu wu."
Big Black lay on the ground pitifully and bared its teeth. "Master, master, I, Big Black, want revenge!"
It was speaking from the bottom of its heart.
The two words' Ministry 'had been deeply imprinted in its heart. They had caused trouble for Big Black time and time again, and caused quite a lot of damage to Big Black. It had to pay an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
Originally, Dahei just wanted to live an ordinary life as a dog king and be a carefree dog. Why do you have to force me?
Li Nianfan rubbed its head speechlessly and comforted it, "Come on, you want to take revenge with your little cultivation. Work hard and be careful next time. It would be a good thing if you don't get caught."
Dahei was not convinced and shouted arrogantly, "I don't care! If worst came to worst, he would just give up on his body of dog fur! I won't let them go. Human pets, I'm going to take all of them as human pets! "
"Alright, alright, alright. Don't get too worked up."
Li Nianfan also knew that this incident had a big impact on Big Black. Now, it even used the words from the story he told it. He didn't know what Big Black would do in the future, so he decided to talk to it after a while.
"Clang, clang, clang."
Just then, a melodious sound of a zither came from the front yard.
The sound of the zither was like a tide, with a hint of sharpness. Moreover, it was getting more and more resounding, causing people's hearts to involuntarily beat faster. It had the effect of awakening and uplifting people's hearts.
Hearing this kind of zither music early in the morning could easily dispel the sleepiness and make people feel refreshed.
Li Nianfan closed his eyes and listened for a while. He curiously said, "It's Miss Manyun's zither music. She's in a good mood, playing the zither early in the morning."
He brought Daji and Huo Feng out of the back garden and came to the front yard.
As expected, they saw Qin Manyun playing the zither. Other than that, there were also many demons gathered. Looking at them, they were basically the demons that they rescued last night.
When they saw Li Nianfan and Daji, their bodies trembled slightly. Then, they showed a friendly smile, and their eyes were filled with deep respect.
They already knew everything about Li Nianfan. When they heard that when the expert came not long ago, he actually used wine brewed from the Chaos Spiritual Root to entertain the demons, they were so envious that their eyes turned green. They beat their chests and stomped their feet, regretting that they didn't surrender earlier.
How sad!
In addition, they saw Li Nianfan easily take care of two Heavenly Realm powerhouses yesterday. His strength was beyond their imagination. It was already good that they didn't kneel down immediately.
There was no need for more words. Everyone said in unison, "Greetings, Lord Saint, Goddess Daji, Fairy Huo Feng."
The Barbarian Bull Spirit said without hesitation, "We are grateful that Goddess Daji destroyed one of the Realm Alliance's strongholds yesterday. We are willing to join the Demon City and worship the little fox as the Demon King!"
The Hippo Spirit also said, "That's right. If there's anything in the future, just leave it to us. We won't do our best and won't disappoint everyone!"
"Please take care of us in the future."
The scene was quite lively. They all expressed their loyalty.
Li Nianfan looked at Daji. He didn't expect that in just one night, they could convince the surrounding Demon Kings. It seemed like they were much more powerful than he thought.
However, he also heard some important points. He couldn't help but ask, "You destroyed one of the Realm Alliance's strongholds yesterday?"
Daji and Huo Feng nodded and said softly, "Yes."
Li Nianfan frowned and said, "That's too dangerous. It's better to think twice in the future. Don't be too arrogant."
He had heard a lot about the Realm Alliance. It was an opponent that many forces were afraid of. Daji and Huo Feng went all out to subdue the demons. Fortunately, they returned safely.
Daji and Huo Feng bit their lips. There was a complicated look in their eyes.
It was indeed quite dangerous. However … the biggest danger was taken care of by you!
To think that we always wanted to help our master. However, every time, it was our master who took the biggest risk for us!
On the surface, he saved Blackie. At the same time, he also saved us. Now, he cares for us from the bottom of his heart …
Daji and Huo Feng felt their noses tingle. They were touched and said, "Don't worry, Master. We know."
Li Nianfan looked at Qin Manyun and asked curiously, "Oh right, Lady Manyun, what are you doing?"
"In reply to Lord Sage, I was thinking of using the zither to awaken Miss Shi Tuqin."
Qin Manyun looked in one direction as she spoke. She looked sympathetic.
Following her gaze, Li Nianfan realized that in front of the demons, there was a young girl sitting on the ground.
Her eyes were lifeless. Her body was curled up and her hands were wrapped around her legs. Her beautiful face was covered with tears. She gave off a pitiful and helpless aura.
The most eye-catching thing was that her hands and feet were actually the limbs of a white tiger. Furthermore, there was a pair of long wings on her back. They looked like the wings of an angel. However, they were also curled up.
Her appearance gave people the first impression that she was a demon. She was mixed in with the demons. In addition, she was silent. Li Nianfan really didn't notice her at first.
However … according to Qin Manyun's introduction, she had a name and a surname. This girl didn't seem to be a demon?
Li Nianfan could tell at a glance that this girl was in a daze. She was just a puppet now. Simply put, she was autistic. Extremely autistic.
Li Nianfan asked, "She is?"
Qin Manyun said, "Sigh, she was originally a disciple of the Imperial Beast Sect. Unfortunately, she was captured by the Ministry Alliance. Luckily, Goddess Daji saved her last night. However, her mental state is very unstable."
Li Nianfan frowned. "How did that happen?"
"The Imperial Beast Sect's cultivation method connects cultivators with demons. From birth, they will find a demon that is extremely compatible with them. The two can be said to be close partners. Their fates are intertwined."
Qin Manyun paused and continued, "According to the other demons who were captured with her, she was forced to devour her natal demon. In the end … her natal demon willingly sacrificed itself and was devoured by her …"
"Her natal daemon is the Empyrean Winged White Tiger. As such, although she is unharmed, she has become a half-human, half-daemon."
"Those bastards from the Ministry Alliance treat all living things in the world as their guinea pigs. Sooner or later, I will make them pay the price!"
"Sigh, no matter if you are a human or a demon, once you are targeted by the Ministry Alliance, you will suffer a fate worse than death."
"My brother also died in the hands of the Ministry Alliance."
The demons were all indignant as they discussed. They hated the Ministry Alliance to the core.
Along the way, they were not the only ones who hated the Ministry Alliance. Even sects like the Empathic Sect hated the Ministry Alliance.
"I know about her situation because I was there at the time."
A catgirl said slowly. She recalled the scene back then. Her pupils trembled slightly, revealing extreme fear and uneasiness. Even now, she was still so scared that all the hair on her body stood on end.
That was because she was ranked behind Shi Tuqin. Once Shi Tuqin finished devouring, it would be her turn. If she hadn't been rescued, then she would've been in a state worse than death.
She took a deep breath and continued, "The people from the Ministry Alliance will first give the humans and demons a drug that seems to affect their consciousness. Then, they will inject a special cultivation method. Then, the humans and demons locked up will go crazy and devour each other."
"Originally, Situ Qin and her natal demon were indeed in a state of madness. However, for some reason, her natal demon regained some consciousness at the crucial moment and gave up all resistance. It cooperated with Situ Qin and devoured itself."
Everyone couldn't bear to see her like this. They looked at Shi Tuqin who was in a daze and sighed sympathetically.
The relationship between the cultivators of the Beast Trainer Sect and their natal demon was undeniable. The fact that her natal demon could make such a choice at the most crucial moment was enough to prove their relationship.
How could they not be sad when something like this happened?
As for Situ Qin, after she woke up and thought about everything that happened, she was probably the only one who knew the torment in her heart. No wonder she became like this.
The Mosquito Taoist said, "The Beast Trainer Sect can create a connection between humans and demons. Therefore, the people from the Ministry Alliance seem to like capturing people from the Beast Trainer Sect. This is beneficial for their experiments."
To force two of their best friends to devour each other, it was obvious that the people from the Ministry Alliance were crazy.
Li Nianfan had long heard of the notorious reputation of the Ministry Alliance, but he still felt a chill in his heart.
He could not help but sigh, "What are these people trying to do?"
Daji said, "Master, after we destroyed the stronghold yesterday, we found out some things about the Ministry Alliance."
"Let's hear it."
Daji said with a serious expression, "The Ministry Alliance's experiments only have one goal, and that is to create a technique that can devour everything in the world and make it their own!"
After a pause, she continued, "This kind of devouring is different from the usual devouring. It devours everything of the other party, including mana, understanding, talents, and so on. It might not be accurate to call it devouring, but it is more like merging!"
Everyone was aghast.
This kind of technique sounded domineering just by listening to it.
When it came to devouring, Li Nianfan first thought of Nanna. However, Nanna's path of devouring was only to devour the aura of all things and turn it into her own power.
Although both were devouring, Nanna's method was to turn other powers into her own power and still retain her original self. As for the Ministry Alliance's method of devouring, it should be called merging. In the end, no one knew what kind of monster it would create.
Li Nianfan said, "Since it's an experiment, does that mean they have been perfecting this technique?"
"That's right."
Daji nodded and said solemnly, "Every living being is born different. Their talents and abilities have their own merits. Furthermore, no one is perfect. More or less, there will be flaws. In addition, there are 3,000 Daos, and everyone has their own understanding.
The Realm Alliance's original intention in creating this technique was to devour all the living beings in the Chaos to make up for the flaws in each other, to obtain enough Gifted Divine Powers, and to integrate different Great Dao understandings. Then, one's power could reach an unprecedented height, or even surpass the limits and control the Chaos!
It was an ambitious idea that was extremely crazy.
As she spoke, Daji could not help but sneak a glance at Li Nianfan. There was a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.
The other party's ambition was enough to prove how powerful the leader of the Ministry Alliance was. That was not all she had found out.
She also knew that the leader of the Ministry Alliance's realm was above the Heavenly Realm. He was at the peak of the Great Path Realm! He was prepared to use this idea to achieve his goal of becoming the ruler of the Great Path!
The ruler of the Great Path! It sounded powerful, but she could not imagine what kind of terrifying realm it was.
Even if there was only a trace of the power of the Great Path, it was not something a Heavenly Realm cultivator could withstand. Did becoming the ruler of the Great Path mean that he could control the Great Path?
That was too scary. Invincible was just that.
Kunpeng looked worried and said, "If that's the case, if the Ministry Alliance really succeeds in creating this technique, I'm afraid it will bring misery to the entire Chaos!"
Once the technique succeeded, it would no longer be about the experimental subjects devouring each other. The Ministry Alliance would devour all the living beings in the Chaos. They would definitely see everyone as their prey.
Anyone with a brain would know that such a technique must never appear!
"Kill me!"
At that moment, Situ Qin, who had been silent and listless, suddenly spoke.
Her eyes were red and tears flowed out. She did not even lift her eyelids. It was as if she had given up on herself as she muttered, "Kill me!"
Qin Manyun could not help but say, "Miss Situ, death won't solve the problem."
"Have you forgotten? I've cultivated the technique of the Ministry Alliance. I'm neither human nor demon. I can't hold it in any longer. I'll become a monster that only wants to devour. Kill me! "
