Chapter 151 The Chaotic Demon Race
The Crimson Moon Sect Master was utterly bewildered; she didn't even have the courage to look at her daughter.
Wanxing, who was standing to the side, seemed to realize something and quickly said, "Mother, don't worry. Even if I have half-demon blood, I will never look down on myself, degenerate, or delay my cultivation."
The relationship between the demon race and the human race is actually quite delicate. It can't be said that they are irreconcilable, but they are not very harmonious either.
In this eerie atmosphere, it is not the demons or the humans who suffer, but the half-demons.
Half-demons are unpopular among humans, and even among demons; they are like sandwich fillings whose very survival is precarious.
Wanxing thought that her mother hadn't told her this because she was afraid that she would be bound by it and that it would delay her cultivation.
In reality, she didn't care at all; after all, those bloodlines were something only the weak would consider.
Wanxing, who had cultivated to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm in just over a hundred years, had nothing to worry about.
Moreover, she believed that with such a powerful cultivation level, very little gossip would reach her ears.
If you really can't solve it, just hit it directly.
If she can't defeat or resolve the situation on her own, she can call on her mother to join her. With the mother and daughter working together, one being a Nascent Soul cultivator and the other a Deity Transformation cultivator, why should they be afraid of those people's opinions?
Wanxing thought she had guessed her mother's thoughts and even kept comforting her.
However, the Crimson Moon Sect Master had been plotting her death all along. She had already decided in her heart that she would escape to some desolate wilderness to live for a while, since she could no longer stay in the Southern Spirit Sect or the Crimson Moon Sect!
If only the elders and disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect knew, that would be fine. The key issue is that she brought along many elders skilled in formations and alchemy in order to study the formations and pill formulas of the Central Holy Land together.
If we go back now, we'll definitely have to endure these people's complicated looks!
So she decided to employ the Thirty-Six Stratagems!
"Daughter, go to the Southern Spirit Sect and thank Lan Yue. I'll be right back." The Crimson Moon Sect Master's figure swayed slightly, like a gust of wind, and disappeared in an instant.
It took Wanxing a while to realize that her mother had already made a quick getaway.
She smiled helplessly; it seemed her mother's mental state was relatively stable.
That put her at ease.
…
Eastern Region, coastal area.
Scattered islands dot the coast of the East China Sea, each inhabited by a tribe of demons.
These islands all surround the central peninsula, from which winged serpent demons can be vaguely seen flying overhead.
Whenever a snake demon is spotted on the East China Sea Peninsula, all the little demons playing on the beach rush to hide.
If they are sea turtles, they will eagerly crawl into the ocean, frantically waving their limbs and claws until they are close to the land and sea, at which point they will quiet down and quickly retract into their hard shells.
Unlike the territories inhabited by other demon races, the peninsula is home to many human buildings, with simple, elegant, and exquisite wooden houses everywhere.
Inside one of the wooden houses, two factions are facing off.
The group of demons, led by Tengshe, looked on with suspicion. Tengshe, dressed in a black cloak, had transformed into human form.
The black downy fur accentuated his chin, making it appear like cold jade. His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked at the group of black-robed men in front of him with hostility.
"Lord Tengshe, don't be so wary. We are truly sincere in our willingness to cooperate with you." A hoarse voice came from the leader of the black-robed men.
"What sincerity could the demons possibly have? If you were to find another old fellow in the Eastern Region, he might actually be interested in you," Tengshe said in an icy tone.
"Is that so? We have indeed contacted another demon lord, but he doesn't seem very interested either," the hoarse voice chuckled.
The sound was extremely unpleasant, like the sound of a razor blade tearing through the throat, making all the demons present feel a chill run down their spines.
"Since you're so self-aware, knowing you're disliked by demons, why are you still here? Do you think I can't kill you?" Tengshe raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not. The strength of the Tengshe Demon Lord is evident to all the demon races, and your reputation is renowned even in the Demon Realm," the black-robed demon continued.
"That's why we came to the Eastern Region with the utmost sincerity this time."
The black-robed demon clapped his hands, and two other demons behind him slowly walked over, carrying a huge blue lamp.
The cyan lamps did not burn, yet all the demons present seemed to feel flames rising all over the sky and sense an aura that seemed to come from the netherworld.
"This is the Netherworld Lamp from the Demon Realm. This lamp is comparable to the immortal artifacts of the human race and can summon the souls of the dead."
"I heard that your other half passed away early, a hundred years ago."
Tengshe, sitting at the head of the table, narrowed his eyes and involuntarily gripped the armrests on both sides.
"Whether the soul returned to the underworld a hundred years ago or ten thousand years ago, this Underworld Lamp can bring back the soul of the deceased."
The man in black robes laughed freely, as if he knew the other party would compromise.
"Our demon realm has already used this Netherworld Lamp to recall the Demon King who died ten thousand years ago. Tell me, do we have any sincerity in this deal?"
The other demon race members exchanged glances. Compared to the other demon races, they were the ones who understood the Tengshe Demon Lord the most.
In order to resurrect that demon lord, they had toiled through countless strange formations and ventured into countless ancient ruins left by powerful demons.
However, to this day, none of the Demon Lord's methods have worked, and that one has still not returned.
If the Demon Clan can truly help the Demon Lord this time, the Demon Lord will definitely agree to the deal. At that time, the situation in the entire Eastern Region, and even the entire cultivation world, will become very delicate.
"If the Demon Lord Tengshe doesn't believe me, you can find a lesser demon who has already passed away to experiment on." The black-robed demon seemed to have anticipated that the other party would hesitate, so he smiled and had the demon behind him put down the lamp.
"Qingyou, go find a snake demon that has already passed away..." Tengshe originally wanted to say snake demon, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be more convenient to be of the same race.
"Go find a chicken demon that has been dead for a hundred years, preferably one that still has wings." Tengshe said expressionlessly, but his heart was pounding.
The black-robed demons opposite them froze, seemingly unable to believe the names they had heard.
However, the other demons who followed Tengshe were perfectly normal. They walked down without changing their expressions and soon brought back a pair of wings.
Several black-robed demons placed the pair of wings next to the blue lamp and kept chanting in an incomprehensible demon language.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless demons, a ghostly spirit slowly rose above the cyan lamp.
This ghost was small in size, and its wings were exactly the same as the ones that had just been taken out.
The ghost stared in terror at the demons before it, and finally fainted from fright.
Tengshe was very satisfied, but he was somewhat dissatisfied with those black-robed demons.
"It must be because you guys are too ugly that you scared that chicken demon into fainting."
"When I awaken Yueyue, all of you demons should stay far away, otherwise you might scare her."
"Besides, Yueyue is already pregnant. Maybe she's summoning two ghosts, and my child might be with her too!"
Tengshe accused him with dissatisfaction.
A group of demons: "???"
What do you mean they're too ugly? The fact that they were even sent on this mission means they're already considered quite good-looking within the demon realm.
This demon has gone too far in bullying evil spirits!
However, since it was their demon race that needed the help of the demons, they had to grit their teeth and put on a smile.
"Okay, we'll definitely stay far apart then, but before that, you have to promise me something."
"What promise?" Tengshe stared intently at the blue lamp, he couldn't wait any longer.
"Naturally, there are promises regarding the cultivation world. When our demon race arrives in the cultivation world, we would appreciate it if Lord Tengshe would grant us a place in the Eastern Region..."
Before the black-robed demon could finish speaking, the little demon next to Tengshe suddenly covered the sound transmission stone on his belt.
However, the emergency alert from the communication stone was extremely loud; no matter how hard he tried, the loud sound of the communication stone still resounded throughout the entire space.
The little demon wiped his sweat. Just as he was about to throw the communication stone away, he heard a loud voice coming from the other side.
"Snake Nine, come listen to some gossip, I heard some really funny news."
"Your Tengshe Demon Lord's true form isn't actually a chicken demon; she's a sect leader from the Southern Region with a daughter!"
"Isn't it exciting? I even know some gossip about your Tengshe Demon Lord! Doesn't it especially like to flood the Eastern Region when it fights? Actually, it's crying out loud, isn't that hilarious?"
The loud voice echoed throughout the space, and everyone, from the Tengshe Demon Lord sitting on the throne to the group of demons below, heard it.
At that moment, the demons looked completely bewildered.
No, they had already persuaded everyone, and even at great cost, they resurrected a chicken demon that had died hundreds of years ago.
The transaction is about to begin, so what is this voice saying?
