Chapter 1189 - 249: Brothers Are Like Hands and Feet
Regarding the matter of the Blood of Demon Ancestor, Di Shen’s memory is incomplete, but Ye Lingyue once told him the entire story.
At the time, the Hunyuan Ancestor followed the order from the Divine Realm to capture Ye Lingyue. Feng Xun and Wu Zhong, to rescue Ye Lingyue, did not hesitate to slaughter thousands in the Hunyuan Sect, further unleashing the Doomsday Demon Sun which had long been sealed within Feng Xun’s body.
Zitang Su combined the power of the Sifang City Lord to seal the Demon Ancestor and the Doomsday Demon Sun.
The Blood of Demon Ancestor was divided and consumed by many demon beasts, among which Jiao Song from Demon Lying Abyss uniquely acquired a third of the Demon Ancestor Blood and soul fragments, escaping into the Demon Awakening Gate.
A portion of the Demon Ancestor Blood and soul fragments were sealed in the Moonflower King, preserved by Ye Lingyue.
The remaining majority of the blood and soul fragments were consumed by other demon beasts, including the Ghost Valley Moth that Ye Lingyue and Di Shen had previously encountered inadvertently. Di Shen retrieved a part of the Demon Ancestor Blood and soul fragments from within the Ghost Valley Moth and merged it with what remained inside himself.
Currently, within Di Shen’s body, there is roughly a third of the Demon Ancestor Blood and soul fragments.
But this is far from enough for Di Shen.
Only by restoring the true form of the Demon Ancestor and completing the soul can Di Shen fully regain all of his demonic power and memory.
This desire is not only Di Shen’s personal wish but also Ye Lingyue’s wish.
Di Shen dreams of retrieving the remaining Demon Ancestor Blood, for only then can he protect his wife properly.
Unfortunately, Di Shen has never found a way to recover the Demon Ancestor Blood, never expecting the opportunity to present itself in such a way.
This news undoubtedly shocked Di Shen.
"Is what you say true? If you already knew the whereabouts of the Demon Ancestor Blood and soul fragments, why wouldn’t you go and seize them? Do the other members of the Demon Clan not know?"
While Di Shen was very excited, he also felt something was amiss.
The demonic nature is greedy; if the Qing Bai Demon truly discovered the whereabouts of that one-third of the Demon Ancestor Blood, how could he pass up such a great opportunity?
"Master, I would like to, but that area has been designated as forbidden land by the South Nether Emperor. It’s not just ordinary Demon Clan members; even approaching it briefly would result in immediate death, and would implicate all direct blood relatives. I don’t have the courage."
The Qing Bai Demon said pitifully.
"Forbidden land? And who is the South Nether Emperor?"
Di Shen had limited knowledge of the Demon World, but hearing the name South Nether Emperor, he felt deeply uneasy.
"The South Nether Emperor is one of the two great Demon Emperors of the Demon World. His demon power is immense; in the past, he was a formidable general in the Demon God Guard of the Demon World, and even the Divine Masters in the Divine Realm could do nothing about him. I heard from others that the forbidden land was designated by the Demon Emperor a few years ago. It is rumored that an arch-enemy of the Demon Emperor is suppressed there, supposedly someone who consumed the Demon Ancestor Blood... ah, Master, let’s talk this over." The Qing Bai Demon cried out miserably, as Di Shen thrust a sword into its chest.
"The Demon God Guard... you say that a few years ago the South Nether Emperor suppressed an arch-enemy in the forbidden land of the Demon World? Tell me how to reach that forbidden land!" Di Shen’s anger erupted like a volcano upon hearing the words Demon God Guard.
Di Shen couldn’t help but think of someone.
Yan Jiu.
His wife mentioned that he had a close brother named Yan Jiu.
A few years ago, after the Demon Awakening Gate incident, Yan Jiu left his pregnant wife and went alone to the Demon World.
When he left, he only left a letter saying he would definitely return with the Demon Ancestor Blood and soul fragments.
Di Shen doesn’t remember much about Yan Jiu, but he remembers clearly that Yan Jiu was his life and death brother.
Yan Jiu kept his promises.
Yet, Yan Jiu had been gone for years without any news.
Lan Cai’er’s child has already learned to write letters, greeting Ye Lingyue and Di Shen, but Yan Jiu has never returned.
For this matter, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen have always felt guilty.
They want to find out what happened to Yan Jiu; is he alive or dead?
Today, when the Qing Bai Demon mentioned that someone was suppressed by the South Nether Emperor in the forbidden land, Di Shen felt his heart clench, his intuition telling him that the person suppressed by the South Nether Emperor was Yan Jiu.
He must save Yan Jiu, no matter what it takes, he must rescue him unharmed, and reunite Lan Cai’er with her family.
This is Di Shen’s promise to Yan Jiu and his recompense to Lan Cai’er’s family.
The Qing Bai Demon can travel from the Demon World to the Ancient Nine Provinces, which means it must know how to get from the Ancient Nine Provinces to the Demon World.
"Master, do not be angry, to reach the forbidden land, one must first enter the Demon World. But from the Ancient Nine Provinces to the Demon World, there’s only one way, which is to enter the Central Plains, where there are some Ancient Demon Paths. But that Ancient Demon Road is long controlled by some Wanted Demon Beast Great Commanders; I’ve paid a lot to secretly enter the Ancient Nine Provinces."
The Qing Bai Demon, tormented almost to death by Di Shen, dared not hide anything and revealed everything it knew.
As there are human roads for humans, and demon paths for demons.
Some societies within the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, including the Heroic Society, can secretly transport some people from the Qing Province Continent to the Ancient Nine Provinces. Naturally, there are demon powers in the Demon World that send some demons into the Ancient Nine Provinces.
However, entering these demon paths is extremely difficult.
After all, the guardians of these demon paths are ranked among the top one hundred most wanted Great Demons, some being Sky Demons.
In terms of strength, these Sky Demons can only be matched by some Great Powers in the Outer Heaven.
Moreover, the Blood of Demon Ancestor in Di Shen has been exposed; surely some wanted demon beasts will catch wind of this, and if Di Shen ventures alone into the Ancient Demon Path, he will inevitably become a sought-after target for the demons.
"Even if the path ahead is full of perils, to save Yan Jiu, I must forge ahead."
After speaking, Di Shen’s gaze turned steely, his five fingers curled into claws, piercing into the Qing Bai Demon.
A few pearl-like mixed-element Blood Beads emerged from the Qing Bai Demon’s body, seeping into Di Shen’s.
Di Shen’s body shook; this time, his form did not change much, but a few faint golden Demon Marks appeared on his cheeks.
The Demon Marks flashed a few times and slowly faded away.
Once the demon blood was removed, the Qing Bai Demon’s body rapidly shrank, eventually reverting to a Demon Bai only half a person tall, but to the surprise of the Qing Bai Demon, Di Shen did not kill it, even returning its Demon Core.
"Qing Bai Demon, I shall spare your life for now. When I enter the Central Plains, you must tell me how to find the Demon Path."
Di Shen placed the Qing Bai Demon into the Life Qiankun Bag, his eyes resolute.
To the Demon World, he must go; Yan Jiu, he will definitely rescue!
