Chapter 261 : Hidden Circumstances
"If I remember correctly, at this time I should have just defeated a Demon Lord and taken over his demon palace," Yan Wangxing was forced to recall his past glory. Mo Baizhou also randomly selected another lucky passerby to take notes.
That new Heavenly Demon had indeed just overthrown a Demon Lord a couple of days ago, seizing his demon palace and women. However, that Demon Lord was also quite powerful, at mid Divine Transformation stage. The young Yan Wangxing of that time, let's call him Xiao Yan 2.0, had likely sustained significant injuries and was probably recuperating in the demon palace.
Outside the palace were heavy guards, with strengths ranging from Golden Core to Nascent Soul stage. Even though Mo Baizhou and Yan Wangxing currently couldn't use demonic energy, they could still handle most of them with just physical techniques. However, alarming Xiao Yan 2.0 inside the demon palace might not end well. In this situation, they had to resort to the tried-and-true old method, which would have definitely worked on the past Yan Wangxing.
Who understands men best? Other men.
Who understands oneself best? Oneself.
Under the coercion of this pair of dog Senior Brother and Sister, Yan Wangxing was forced to voluntarily dress up as a woman to seduce himself.
He had thought he might have to sacrifice his chastity, but after sneaking in, he found the person wasn't there.
There was nobody in the demon palace at all, and they didn't see the three doors either.
Could it be that the entrance wasn't here? Had they come to the wrong place?
"You're not in the demon palace?"
"I'm not sure either. Perhaps I've recovered from my injuries and gone to challenge the Demon Sovereign?" That sounded like something he would have done in the past.
Yan Wangxing turned back to see Chu Sang sitting in the Demon Lord's seat, curiously and seriously feeling around. He was puzzled, what was so interesting about it? It was far inferior to the Demon Sovereign's. Then, he saw her seem to find some kind of mechanism.
Click—
As she activated the mechanism, a secret door appeared in the stone wall behind.
The three looked over, their hearts skipping a beat... So it was hidden here!
They didn't know where the 2.0 version of Xiao Yan had gone, but at least they had found the door. Other matters were no longer in their plans. The three entered the door, and when they opened their eyes again, they had arrived in another world.
This place no longer seemed to be the demon realm, but the cultivation world. As soon as Chu Sang landed, she felt the comfortable energy from all directions. It was no longer the thick, dangerous demonic energy, but strands of abundant spiritual energy, without any mixture of beast demon aura.
She lifted her head and took a breath, about to take a step forward, but suddenly stopped.
Their landing point was a hidden mountaintop with a high vantage point. Looking down, there was a steep cliff with a winding mountain path about halfway up. She actually detected demonic energy, and not just a trace, but a vast amount, hundreds or thousands.
Chu Sang quickly used talismans to conceal the auras of the three of them, focusing her gaze on a caravan moving below. It was a group of disguised demon cultivators, quite powerful, with dozens of Nascent Soul stage demon generals, and even several Divine Transformation stage great demons leading.
...A large-scale infiltration of demon cultivators into the city?
This wasn't a good sign.
A bloodbath might be about to occur in the city.
Chu Sang leaned over, "Fourth Senior Brother, do you recognize this place?"
The cultivation world was vast, and she was still young, having spent most of her time in the sect. She wasn't very familiar with cultivation world families or mortal cities. Mo Baizhou's face showed rare solemnity. He stared intently at the scene below, his slender fingers slightly clenched, his voice obviously suppressed, "This is the main city where the Mo family... is located."
The Mo family had been exterminated twenty years ago. Junior Sister was probably just born around that time, still very young... If he hadn't guessed wrong, the world behind this door was about him.
Seeming to sense something, Chu Sang tilted her head slightly and saw an unexpected person, Xiao Yan version 2.0.
Yan Wangxing had obviously also noticed that all-too-familiar aura. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes as he lowered his gaze in deep thought, seemingly trying hard to remember when he had come to the cultivation world back then.
"Version 3.0 of you is still at early Divine Transformation stage, and the Xiao Yan 2.0 in the world behind the first door was at mid Divine Transformation stage. It seems the time difference between the two doors shouldn't be too great." Chu Sang pulled Yan Wangxing over, questioning the suspected insider, "Think carefully, what happened in the demon realm back then? How did so many high-level demon cultivators come to infiltrate a main city in the cultivation world?"
