Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer

Chapter 473 - 472: The Demon Ancestor’s Scheme—No Escape [Second Update]

It was the Great Ming King and Ksitigarbha who made their move.

The last time they acquired Qilin Flesh, these two already immensely powerful Quasi-Saints of the Buddhist Sect regained much of their strength.

On the Quasi-Saints’ ranking, Golden Cicada was already at the bottom.

Facing their joint attack, he naturally found it hard to cope.

Relying on the Nine Grade Lotus Platform, he held out for a while.

Now, his decline is evident.

And over here.

After not seeing each other for years, the Cyan Snake and Bai Suzhen missed Lin Heng in many ways.

Seeing Lin Heng, who was saving them, end up with an injured body, the two sisters had teary eyes, feeling deeply apologetic.

However, now is not the time for idle talk.

"Let’s go first." Lin Heng said.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was on the battle over there, which was the chance to escape amidst the chaos.

"Mm."

The Cyan Snake helped him up, while Bai Suzhen activated her Immortal Technique, quickly taking the two away from this place.

Princess Iron Fan seemed to focus on the battlefield, but actually, she had the entire situation under her control.

Whether it was the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts escaping with the Long-armed Ape,

or the Cyan and White Snakes leaving with Lin Heng,

she was aware of it all.

But she remained indifferent, uncaring.

"Somersault Cloud."

Bai Suzhen was too slow; to cross the plains and leave the Demon Realm could take unknown time.

Lin Heng had to take out a bunch of Flat Peaches from the System Space, consuming them all to barely restore a bit of Immortal Power, then decisively called forth the Somersault Cloud to travel.

Soon.

Under the swift speed of the Somersault Cloud, the three of them crossed the plains and reached the border.

Only then did Lin Heng discover that the Mist Forest was already gone, leaving only broken branches and dead leaves, withered wood, and thorns all over the ground.

The mist that could beguile hearts and cause hallucinations had also dispersed.

Someone destroyed this place!

"Who did this?"

Lin Heng was silently perplexed, vaguely apprehensive.

The chaos of the Demon Realm seemed to have exceeded the greatest expectations.

However, at this moment, Lin Heng had no energy to ponder the matters here; he continued to drive the Somersault Cloud through the already destroyed Mist Forest towards the place he originally entered from.

Upon arriving.

He found that the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Long-armed Ape were also there.

Upon seeing Lin Heng and the others, the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts instantly assumed a combat stance, like a fluffed-up kitten, not allowing anyone to approach.

Until the Long-armed Ape in her arms spoke up.

"It’s okay, we’re together..."

The Long-armed Ape’s voice was extremely weak.

Forcibly using the Demon Suppression Diagram, it was indeed a life-threatening move for him, an Ancestral Immortal.

His body’s qi and blood were almost entirely depleted, his body battered, even worse than Lin Heng’s state.

"Let him eat this, to stabilize first." Lin Heng said, taking out over a hundred Flat Peaches from the System Space to throw them to the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts’ eyes brightened, her hostility towards Lin Heng lessened significantly.

She then used her Demon Technique to send the Flat Peaches one by one into the Long-armed Ape’s mouth.

Immortal Power began to flow on the Long-armed Ape’s body surface, though his qi and blood were still depleted, he managed to hang onto life.

"Thanks." The Long-armed Ape said to Lin Heng.

"Let’s just leave first." Lin Heng now only wanted to get out.

The Long-armed Ape nodded, handing the Black Stone used to open the Void Rift to the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts, without hesitation, raised the Black Stone and chanted esoteric words, attempting to open the Void Rift.

However, a gentle breeze blew by, and the void remained unchanged, not even a ripple appearing.

"How could this be?"

The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Long-armed Ape looked at each other in confusion.

"Could it be, your Black Stone failed?"

Lin Heng said, "Try using this one!"

He decisively tossed out another Black Stone.

This was given to him earlier by the Long-armed Ape. Though the two were companions on this journey, they were also collaborating to save their respective people.

Before coming here, they agreed that once their tasks were finished, they would part ways.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts, with a serious demeanor, once again cast a spell, activating Lin Heng’s Black Stone.

But this time, the void still showed no change.

"How could this be?"

"The Demon Ancestor clearly mentioned that after we succeed, this stone can open the Void Rift."

"Why didn’t it work?"

The Long-armed Ape appeared somewhat at a loss.

Lin Heng couldn’t help but murmur, "Is it possible that your Demon Ancestor deceived you?"

"Impossible!" The Long-armed Ape said firmly, "The Demon Ancestor, though unwilling to risk coming personally, was thorough and told me everything I needed to know about the Demon Realm, even entrusted the Demon Star Demon Suppression Diagram to me, how could he be deceiving me?"

Just as the Long-armed Ape finished speaking, the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts said gravely, "Perhaps, he really is using you."

The Long-armed Ape was taken aback, somewhat puzzled, "How can you say such a thing about the Demon Ancestor? He has always been concerned about your safety, and upon realizing the grand ritual would begin, he immediately instructed me with all the rescue plans, he..."

The Long-armed Ape’s words were interrupted, and the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts said, "If the Demon Ancestor truly cared about us, how could the Demon Venerable Chong Lou have openly captured me in the land of the Demon Race?"

"This... the Demon Ancestor said he was in closed-door cultivation at the time... so..."

"The Demon Ancestor was in closed cultivation, were the other Quasi-Saints also in closed cultivation?"

"In our Demon Race Celestial Court, at least three Quasi-Saints are stationed, yet the Demon Venerable Chong Lou could come and go as he pleased. Grand General, doesn’t that seem strange to you?"

The words of the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts deepened the Long-armed Ape’s internal struggle.

"We are loyal to the Demon Ancestor, he has no reason to deceive us..." The Long-armed Ape was still unwilling to believe.

"Grand General, haven’t you figured it out yet?" The Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts chuckled wryly, looking at Bai Suzhen and the Cyan Snake beside Lin Heng, then towards the distant Heaven-Reaching Demon Palace.

"The five of us uniting would restore Nuwa, ushering in the supreme opportunity."

"But in the Great Thousand Upper Realm, this opportunity would belong solely to Nuwa, it can’t be seized by anyone else."

"Only here, in the Outer Demon Land, cut off from the Three Realms and not part of the Five Elements."

"Only here, outsiders have a chance to seize the opportunity."

"That’s why the Golden Cicada, Great Ming King, and Ksitigarbha of the Buddha Country appeared here."

"Because they have secret plans for seizing the opportunity. Do you think someone of the Demon Ancestor’s stature wouldn’t have methods to seize the opportunity?"

These words from the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts finally enlightened the Long-armed Ape.

He murmured belatedly, "So, the day you were taken was originally a collaboration between the Demon Ancestor and the Demon Venerable..."

"The Sage Opportunity could arrive at any moment."

"They have to gamble everything on this opportunity being ultimately claimed by Witch Zi Xuan or the Demon Ancestor..."

"And we are nothing but pawns in this game..."

Realizing this, the Long-armed Ape was instantly filled with despair.

"The Demon Ancestor truly deceived us... and here I was, foolishly believing he genuinely wanted to save you..."

In that moment, the Long-armed Ape’s eyes turned red, filled with the utmost bitterness.
