Chapter 76 -72: Earth Demon Island
“What’s your name, little beggar?” Yu Yun asked.
“Ye Chen.”
“Do you really know my sister?”
“Is that important?”
He Xibai started to become anxious again and said, “Yun’er, why are you asking this! Who exactly are these people?”
“If I’m not mistaken, they should be from the Demon Domain.” Yu Yun made this judgment based on the symbols on those people.
Ye Chen became a little confused after hearing this and asked, “How do you know?”
“Recently, the most serious unrest has been the discovery of Earth Demon Island by the people of the Demon Domain. Although they are trying to stay inconspicuous with their outfits, I guess they are more likely to be them.”
“Yun’er, are you saying this is Earth Demon Island?” He Xibai asked with doubts.
“That’s my guess.”
The people in the back shouted: “Keep moving, do you want to get caught in the rain here? I’ll make sure you get enough of it.” They wielded their whips ceaselessly, making a flurry of loud noises.
Luckily, it wasn’t raining heavily at that moment.
Ye Chen muttered to himself: “Earth Demon Island, is this Earth Demon Island? Has it truly reappeared in the world!” He looked around incessantly, trying to get a sense of what Earth Demon Island is.
“Earth Demon Island!” He Xibai looked at the endless black cloud spinning in the sky and asked with doubts, “Why did they bring us here?”
“They’re certainly not up to anything good.” Ye Chen turned to the maiden and asked, “Do you know what the deal is with Earth Demon Island, as well as the so-called Red and Black Demon King, the Red Demonic Spirit, and the Black Demonic Spirit?”
“Over a thousand years ago, a great demon king had built his base on Earth Demon Island. In an effort to exterminate this evil spirit, the various factions in the Immortal Domain joined forces to form the Taiji Qiankun Array, one of the most powerful techniques of the Immortal City, with the help of the city’s predecessors and various martial arts masters.
To counter the Taiji Qiankun Array, the Demon King went to great lengths to steal the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit from the 18 levels of Hell, cultivating them into the Red and Black Demon. This was how the Red and Black Demon King came into being.
Yet, during the great battle, the Red and Black Demon King did not fully merge the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit. Otherwise, he would definitely have had a chance to break through the Taiji Qiankun Array.
Although the people of the Immortal Domain defeated the Red and Black Demon, they were significantly weakened. Despite having killed the Red and Black Demon King, they had no strength left to subdue the Black Demonic Spirit and the Red Demonic Spirit. Hence, they used their last bit of energy to seal these spirits.”
Ye Chen listened carefully to these words and said, “So, the Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit are still on Earth Demon Island.”
“Yes, even though the Red and Black Demon King is dead, the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit are still alive. It’s unknown how the people of the Demon Domain managed to find Earth Demon Island. However, the specifics of this probably aren’t important. What I do know is that only people from Immortal City knew the location of Earth Demon Island.”
“They came here for the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit?”
“Yes, even though the people of the Immortal Domain had defeated the Red and Black Demon King, the battle had cost them dearly. They sealed the exits and destroyed the passages. Immortal City then used a bewitching array to make Earth Demon Island disappear, thus sealing the island. However, I suspect that the bewitching array has already been broken.”
“You mentioned earlier that only people from Immortal City knew the location of Earth Demon Island?”
“The bewitching array that made Earth Demon Island disappear was summoned by the predecessors of the Immortal City, so only people from Immortal City knew the location of the island.”
Ye Chen thoughtfully scratched his chin.
He Xibai heard this and said, “Yun’er, how do you know all this?”
“I read it in a book.”
“If they get their hands on the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit, won’t the Immortal and Demon Domains be in grave danger?”
“Indeed, it’s very dangerous. A new Red and Black Demon King might emerge. We must stop them.”
“Are you joking? Big talk coming from you. How can we stop them? It’s already hard enough just to stay alive!” Ye Chen retorted.
“I think the people of the Immortal and Demon Domains will soon find out about what’s happening here.”
Ye Chen then asked, “I understand what you’re saying, they want the Red and Black Demonic Spirits, but why did they bring all these children along?”
“Do you know how the Red and Black Demon had caught the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit in the first place?”
“No, I don’t.”
“They used children like us as bait to lure out the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit, and then they were able to catch them.”
Ye Chen’s eyes widened in shock. “What? Do those two freaks specifically target children? Wouldn’t adults, being larger, have more appetising flesh?”
“Not for eating, for parasitism.”
“What’s parasitism?” Ye Chen asked in confusion.
“Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit, which came out from 18 levels of Hell, are just like souls, they are easily noticed and need a body to hide. There are many people who want to control them to advance their martial arts. But children are different, they are not threatening, and are easy to control. Adults might want to exploit them, so the spirits basically choose to inhabit children’s bodies where they can be controlled more easily and not be taken advantage of.”
“What happens if you get possessed?”
“You’re manipulated, and once they’re done with you, they just kill you off and look for a new host.”
“Wait, what? They kill off the host? Then aren’t we all going to die here?” Ye Chen started getting panicked.
“Well, can you escape right now?”
“We’ve all become bait.”
“Stop guessing.”
“Do you have a way to contact anyone from the Immortal and Demon Domain?”
“Contact them how? Do you think sending out a thick smoke signal would notify them? We’ve already been at sea for several days. Even if we flew high enough, no one would be able to see us. It would be another hurdle to send out a signal in the first place!”
“This Demon Domain has already returned to the Central Plains. Don’t people in the Immortal and Demon Domain have any alertness at all?” Ye Chen remarked.
“Who says they don’t? But to notice something is not as easy as you think. Look at these people from the Demon Domain – they’ve disguised themselves perfectly. Can you see through their disguise? They’re not easily caught.” Yu Yun responded.
“I’m afraid by the time we are discovered, we’ll already be dead,” Ye Chen said, recalling that the Red and Black Demonic Spirits could possess and kill people directly. He was quite apprehensive and asked, “If they possess us, wouldn’t we be completely controlled by the Red and Black Demonic Spirits?”
“Not necessarily. If you have strong martial arts, you could control it. If the spirit doesn’t want to control you but simply possess you, there wouldn’t be any danger. It’d be like a parasite, and you would simply need to feed it on time, although I’ve heard they don’t have good tempers and tend to drain you before they leave.”
“Drain?”
“Like a zombie.”
“Would they even prefer cleaner, prettier girls?”
“What are you getting at?”
“Look at me, a ragged little beggar. They wouldn’t take a second look at me.”
Yu Yun snorted coldly and asked, “So you really know my sister?”
“What’s the issue? Is it impossible for a little beggar like me to know your sister?”
“I’m curious about how you met.”
“I presented myself to her as a boy should, in front of everyone.”
“As a boy should? You didn’t do anything indecent to my sister, did you?”
“What nonsense is this! Would I have done such a thing in front of everyone? I just played the hero for her once.”
Having heard this, He Xibai said, “That’s impossible. Even if there was an opportunity to play the hero, it wouldn’t fall to you.”
Ye Chen gave a slight smile and said, “Understood. You view me as nothing but a beggar, a country bumpkin.”
He Xibai countered, “There’s no shortage of heroes around Yu Qing. Even if a chance did arise to play the hero, someone else would have taken it. It wouldn’t be your turn.”
“When did you meet my sister?” Yu Yun kept pressing.
“Recently.”
“Recently? Do you know where my sister is?”
“Immortal City,” Ye Chen replied off-handedly.
He Xibai lifted his head. He knew that Yu Qing had gone to Immortal City, and he started to believe Ye Chen’s words might actually be true.
“Are you a disciple of Immortal City?”
“Certainly not,” Ye Chen answered.
From the other side, someone was shouting, “Hurry up! The rain is getting heavier.”
They had ventured deep into the forest, stepping on muddy ground, their clothes splattered with mud. There was a stench of rot, and the lightning was still crackling overhead.
He Xibai remarked, “Our clothes are soaked through.”
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Ye Chen asked, “Do you want me to hold an umbrella for you?”
“Damn this blasted island, where it just rains non-stop.” The guards grumbled as if they too disliked the weather.
About two hundred or so people were pressing forward.
About two hundred guards as well, pushing deeper into the mountain.
He Xibai blurted out, “We’re probably going to die here.”
Ye Chen glanced around and said, “This damned place doesn’t seem to have anything good.”
Yu Yun chimed in, “I heard that the place where the Red and Black Demonic Spirits are sealed, has a lot of… unsettling things.”
“What? There are more unsettling things?”
“Yes, at the time, the Red and Black Demon King had brought a large number of demons.”
“What else do you know that you haven’t mentioned? Spill it all now so I can be prepared.”
“Gee, I only know so much from the historical books of the Immortal and Demon Domain. How can I remember all the details?”
“Damn it. I just hope the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit don’t choose me.”
“You might be the first one they choose.”
“No way. If they did choose, it’d definitely be one of you. You’re all so attractive and adorable. How could they possibly not choose you?” Ye Chen jested.
