The demon head was enormous, covering the sky—an unimaginably enormous head, endured countless ages and yet still immortal.
The demon leader had two horns on his head, a blue face and fangs, and his eyes were already shriveled but glowing with a dark green light, like two lanterns.
The Fangtian Seal was still inscribed on its head, but now it had shrunk significantly, like a crown embedded there.
Fangtian Seal, Demon-Subduing City, and Seal City were one and the same. Unfortunately, Demon-Subduing City no longer had its former prosperity. The buildings inside had lost their former glory and were now in ruins, like a dead city.
Although he was mentally prepared, when Xing Wujiang saw Demon-Subduing City, his whole body trembled, his eyes filled with unwillingness and sorrow.
This was a divine artifact passed down through generations of the Xing family. In its generation, it betrayed the Xing family, and Demon-Subduing City would come to an end in this generation.
Xing Wujiang was born and raised within Demon-Subduing City, a place filled with countless memories and granted him endless glory.
"Buzz"
The demon head stopped thousands of miles away from the demon corpse. The demon head turned, its eyes fixed on Xing Wujiang, meeting his gaze. Suddenly, the demon head spoke:
"Wujiang, it's me!"
Surprisingly, the voice was very gentle, like an elder looking at their child, afraid that their voice would be too loud and might scare them.
It was a woman's voice, tender as water, like a mother's whisper, carrying endless family affection.
"I know it's you...," Xing Wujiang said, looking at the beast. He had been trying hard to stay calm, but as soon as he spoke, his voice choked with emotion.
He couldn't control the sadness in his heart. The Xing family disciples had always regarded Fang Tianyin as their closest elder, and he couldn't accept Fang Tianyin's betrayal.
"My child, you shouldn't be sad. You should be happy for me. I've taken control of it, and from now on, I'll become stronger and stronger.
In this world, no one will ever bully our Xing family again. Our blood debts will ultimately need blood to repay.
I don't want you to live enduring humiliation and hardship. I want to restore the Xing family's glory. Child, believe me, my feelings for the Xing family have never changed. Come on, let's work together and make the Xing family's name resound once again. Fang Tianyin continued while controlling the demon leader.
At this moment, Xing Wujiang's eyes were filled with tears. He shook his head and said, "You are no longer the Fangtian Seal you once were. Ever since you allowed the four city guardians to return, from that moment I knew you had changed."
You are unwilling to be lonely, nor do you want to be controlled by the Xing family forever. Back when our family was glorious, you probably didn't feel much.
Now that the Xing family has declined, they are no longer worthy of your protection. So, you started attacking me, hoping to cut off my descendants. When I die, you will be free. There
was no anger in Xing Wujiang's tone; instead, he called him 'you' with each tone. Clearly, even though Fang Tianyin treated him this way, he still held him in deep respect.
After Xing Wujiang said this, Fang Tianyin fell silent for a moment. It said, "That was because I was too foolish, bewitched by the demon soul. But now I have completely suppressed it. Its will can no longer affect me, and its power is completely under my control."
Now, all we need to do is let the Demon Chief and the Demon Corpse fuse, and I can fully control it. Then, we can venture deep into the Great Wilderness to find our Xing family members.
During the Great Ancient War, our Xing family was slaughtered to pieces, but I believe some of our clan members still survived, okay? Fang
Tianyin's tone was extremely gentle. Even outsiders would be moved, but Long Chen became alert. Fang Tianyin's voice carried a bewitching skill, each word striking directly at Xing Wujiang's inner weakness.
At that moment, Long Chen's heart sank. If Xing Wujiang was bewitched by Fang Tianyin, it would be over—no one could stop the demon corpse from coming back to life.
Xing Wujiang shook his head and said, "There's no point in saying this anymore. Do you remember the ancestral teachings of our Xing family?" As disciples of the Xing family, first, we must not collude with the demons; second, we must not harm the human race.
But now that you have absorbed its power and merged with it, you have already broken the first iron law.
And if you want to improve yourself through the power of the demon corpse, you will inevitably slaughter humans. This violates the second iron law... When
Xing Wujiang said this, Fang Tianyin's voice instantly turned wild: "What kind of ridiculous iron law is this? I've had enough."
In this world, there is no such thing as right or wrong. The so-called mistake is because you lack strength; as long as you have enough power, whatever you do is right.
Why can't we just massacre the humans? Do you know, back in the ancient war, most of our Xing family disciples died at the hands of our own comrades?
Why can they betray us, and why can't we kill them? Let me ask you, why? Fang
Tianyin's voice changed from its previous gentleness, now filled with endless resentment and terrifying killing intent. The demon leader's eyes shone with divine light as he roared, and a vast demonic might began to rise.
Fang Tianyin's roar made Long Chen's heart tremble. At that moment, he looked at Fang Tianyin and felt a sense of resonance.
Because Fang Tianyin's thoughts were so similar to his own, Long Chen also hated betrayal. For revenge, Long Chen might stop at nothing. If he were Fang Tianyin, he might choose the same path.
Fang Tianyin continued to shout angrily, "The most powerful force in this world is undoubtedly the Brahma Pill Valley. Although you are young, have you seen enough heinous acts committed by the valley?"
So what? In this world, how many people sing their praises and twist right and wrong for them? Who dares to say they're wrong?
Including the people from the Fire God Temple in front of us—so many people have unknowingly sided with them. When a fight breaks out later, will they show mercy just because you were right?
You tell me, in this world, what is right and what is wrong? I want to revive and protect the Xing family—is that wrong? Xing
Wujiang's face was filled with pain. He did not answer the Fangtian Seal, but suddenly it glowed. Immediately after, the golden seal in Gao Jianli, Cao Guofeng's hands, and the others trembled violently. The demon corpse sealed by the Purple-Gold Seal trembled violently and vanished instantly.
When it reappeared, it was already beneath the demon leader. At that moment, Long Chen and Mo Nian were extremely tense.
"Whew."
At that moment, Xing Wujiang suddenly knelt before Fang Tianyin. Fang Tianyin was stunned, both surprised and delighted, and said, "
You've finally figured it out?"
"I'm sorry..." Xing Wujiang choked up.
"Good child, there's nothing to be sorry for, we ...."
"I'm sorry to you, sorry to our ancestors. In my generation, I couldn't protect you..."
"Buzz."
Suddenly, the purple-gold seal on Xing Wujiang's back exploded, and a rune identical to the Fangtian Seal appeared on his hands.
"Smack!"
Xing Wujiang's figure suddenly moved, appearing in front of Fang Tianyin, and resolutely pressed both palms down.
"You're so sneaky..."
Fangtian Yin roared. When Xing Wujiang pressed his hands on Fangtian Seal, the entire world trembled, and the Fangtian Seal actually ignited.
At the very moment Xing Wujiang made his move, Long Chen and Mo Nian didn't hesitate and charged straight at the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire God Hall, rushing in before he could strike. The two shouted simultaneously:
"Six Forms in One!"
"Thousand-Blade Arrow!"
