Chapter 127: Lin Ze and Cai'er's Unexpected Encounter
In response to Cai'er's question,
Sidi, with a feigned air of condescension, lifted Cai'er's chin with his finger and said, "I don't mind having two successors simultaneously. Have you thought about it? My patience is limited."
As Sidi finished his words, a swarm of blood-red butterflies appeared not far behind Sidi, obscuring the sky. When the blood-red butterflies disappeared, ten more hooded and cloaked figures appeared.
Because of the cloaks, Cai'er and the others couldn't clearly see their faces.
Lin Ze and the others' strength had been forcibly suppressed to the peak of the sixth rank, a measure they had to maintain to avoid exposing their strength.
But the moment Cai'er saw the ten figures, especially the one in the center, she was struck by the man.
It was him!
Cai'er couldn't mistake him.
Although she couldn't see his face, she would never forget Lin Ze's aura.
And most importantly, Cai'er detected the aura of the "Forget-Me-Not" ring on the middle figure.
But Cai'er was puzzled. Wasn't Lin Ze already at the seventh rank during the battle at the Exorcist Pass?
Ugh!
This scoundrel is actually hiding his strength.
How abominable!
Cai'er puffed up her cheeks and glanced at Lin Ze with resentment.
Judging from Lin Ze's position, he must be the leader of the ten, just like her.
Cai'er secretly rejoiced. Sure enough, Lin Ze was still so outstanding.
"Have you seen enough?" Sidi observed Cai'er, her attention completely focused on Lin Ze, feeling a sense of helplessness.
Sidi's voice drew Cai'er's attention back.
Faced with Sidi's invitation, Cai'er's emotions, which had been fluctuating, calmed down once more. She shook her head and said, "Give up! I can't possibly be your successor."
Cai'er knew Sidi wouldn't invite her out of the blue, but she had her limits. She was human after all. Although the Assassin's Templar had trained her to be a "tool" to slay the Demon King,
and her training was extremely rigorous,
they hadn't done anything wrong to her, and even indulged her.
Cai'er simply couldn't bring herself to betray humanity.
Xidi wasn't surprised by Cai'er's response, but it was all right. After all, she was taking a risk, and her current strength wasn't enough to compete with the First Three Pillars of Sun and Moon Star.
A human-demon hybrid becoming the heir was troublesome enough, and adding Cai'er to the mix was indeed a bit much.
Xidi sneered, stroking Cai'er's cheek with his fingers. "Whatever I, Xidi, set my sights on will ultimately be mine. Don't worry, one day you'll beg me for it."
With that, Xidi let go of Cai'er and turned to pass by Ling Xiao. Xidi hadn't even glanced at Ling Xiao the entire time.
With Ling Xiao's current strength, Xidi could easily kill him!
Ling Xiao knew this, so his actions were all just bluffing, with no real intention of taking action.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Xidi let go of Cai'er.
No one had expected that this time, the First Ten Demon Gods would personally lead the charge.
However, Long Haochen, however, frowned.
Blood-colored dancing butterflies!
He might not have paid much attention to it before, but now thinking back, it seemed that since Lin Ze appeared in Odin Town, the blood-colored butterflies had become increasingly common, but he hadn't seen them since Lin Ze left!
A bold thought crept into Long Haochen's mind.
Lin Ze's elder sister was none other than the tenth pillar of the demon race, Xidi, the Love Demon God!
And Lin Ze was most likely the successor of the Love Demon God that Cai'er had just asked about!
Long Haochen clenched his fists subconsciously. He wanted to ask Xidi why she had taken his mother away.
But recalling Xidi's attitude when communicating with his mother, Bai Yue, he understood that Xidi didn't really want to harm Bai Yue.
But he still couldn't understand why Xidi, the Tenth Pillar Demon God, had spent a year with his mother in the human race.
What was his mother's true identity?
No matter what, he had to find out. Long Haochen glanced at Sheng Cai'er before him, intending to find a chance to ask her after entering the Dream Paradise.
Seeing Xidi walking away, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Cai'er, are you okay?"
In response to Ling Xiao's concern, Cai'er shook her head, indicating she was fine.
Xidi's oppressive presence was undeniably overwhelming.
Even though he hadn't done anything, the other professionals present were already sweating profusely.
If Xidi had just made a move, they would all have perished!
Amidst this oppressive atmosphere, the lake, previously obscured by white mist, began to ripple.
Suddenly, a small boat broke through the mist and appeared before everyone.
On the boat sat an elderly bearded man, his white beard growing as long as his hair, hanging down to his chest. He held a simple bamboo fishing rod and fished from the boat.
The boat slowly came to rest on the lake not far away.
Although no spiritual energy emanated from the old man, Xidi, the most powerful person present, showed a hint of alarm.
She could sense the terrifying power of the man before her, surpassing her own.
Xidi said coldly, "This must be the guardian of the Dream Paradise. He's so powerful, I'm surprised."
"You must proceed with caution once you enter."
Xidi's words were ostensibly for the others, but in reality, they were a warning to Lin Ze to be cautious.
It looked like this trip to the Dream Paradise wouldn't be easy.
Even Xidi hadn't imagined such a being existed there.
Facing Xidi's concern, Lin Ze said slowly, "Don't worry. No matter what happens inside, I will complete my mission."
Just then, the old man on the boat moved.
He swung the bamboo pole in his hand, and waves of terrifying spiritual energy emanated from him, causing the once calm lake to gradually boil.
Under the gaze of the crowd, twenty platforms, each large enough to accommodate one person, appeared around the old man.
Without further ado, the old man said in a low, slightly aged voice, "Twenty of you heading to Dream Paradise, come forward."
"Go ahead, and be careful," Xidi said.
"Let's go," Lin Ze said, and with a few flashes, he appeared on a cushion.
Leng Xiao and Yue Ye followed him closely.
The other seven successors followed quickly.
The last was Men Di, the Star Demon God successor.
Unnoticed by anyone, a cause and effect silently sank into the old man's body.
Seeing Lin Ze and his ten companions ascend,
Cai'er said coldly, "Let's go too."
She looked at where Lin Ze had landed and chose a platform close to him. From Lin Ze's words, Cai'er was certain the person before her was Lin Ze!
