Chapter 1205: The Truth
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhou Jin and Little Rakshasa continued to search forward. Zhou Jin did not know who Little Rakshasa was looking for and how many there were. However, Little Rakshasa had no intention of leaving Zhou Jin alone. Compared to how much it liked Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin felt that it actuallv did not care much about
him.
It was as if ever since it found its sister, it had been immersed in its own world. There was only its sister in that world and nothing else.
Not long after the two of them left, two more demon guards came at them. As expected, they were dealt with by Little Rakshasa.
The demon guards were actually very powerful. If not for the sudden addition of the power of a Holy Master in his body, Zhou Jin would probably not have been able to deal with them with his previous sorcery power. However, such troublesome opponents were all killed in one move by the little evil being, and that was without waking his sister up.
It was a demon when it killed people, but it was her knight when it hugged its sister.
After dealing with another corpse, Zhou Jin wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to Little Rakshasa, “I say, let’s make a deal. Can we stop killing people? If we continue like this, the Earth Demon Palace will be empty.”
It was not scary to be empty. What was terrifying was that there were suddenly so few people. The true experts of the Demon Palace would definitely discover that there were foreign enemies invading. If they were to completely cleanse the Earth Demon Palace, they would be unable to bear the consequences of failure.
However, the little Rakshasa did not hear him at all. He carried Yan Xiaosi and walked out without a care for the world.
Zhou Jin looked at the sky and sighed helplessly.
The Earth Demon Palace was very big. The three of them searched through the halls one by one, but they could not find where the people who were captured were locked up. It was true that there was a portion of them in the dungeon, but that was definitely not all. On the way to the Earth Demon Palace, Zhou Jin had heard a demon guard say that he wanted to gather a thousand lives to sacrifice to the Demon Lord, men, women, old, and young.
“Where did he go?” Zhou Jin muttered to himself. Suddenly, another demon guard came ahead. As expected, Little Rakshasa planned to attack again. This time, Zhou Jin stopped him.
Zhou Jin whispered, “Don’t kill him. We’ll follow him secretly. Perhaps we can find where your family is imprisoned.” Worried that he wouldn’t understand what he said, Zhou Jin gestured with his hand. “Find someone, find someone, do you understand? He will bring us there.”
The little evil being seemed to understand and really did not attack the demon guard.
Zhou Jin prayed that the little fellow would not wake up and make any sound. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to kill this guard in order to keep it a secret. Fortunately, Yan Xiaosi was sleeping soundly. There was a smile in her dream and she was not sleep-talking.
Zhou Jin and Little Rakshasa followed the demon guard into another palace. That palace was also set up with restrictions. Previously, they did not find anyone who had been captured in the few places they had searched, nor were there any restrictions. On the other hand, the places where they were imprisoned were all set up with restrictions. Didn’t this mean that the palace with restrictions was the place where the human offerings were imprisoned?
Zhou Jin silently followed behind the guard. Little Rakshasa was still carrying Yan Xiaosi as he rose and fell in the air. Suddenly, the guard stopped and turned around with a strange expression.
Zhou Jin hid behind the tree.
Little Rakshasa had just landed on an eaves and could not dodge in time. His expression instantly froze as he transformed into a black egg statue and used his internal energy to stabilize the corners of his clothes.
The demon guard looked at the statue that had appeared on the roof at some point. The night wind blew, but the fluttering robe did not move.
Oh, it was indeed a statue. The demon guard turned around and continued in.
“Achoo!” Little Rakshasa suddenly sneezed. The demon guard turned around. Little Rakshasa was still maintaining the black egg statue without moving. The demon guard scratched his head. Did he hear wrongly? How could the statue sneeze? The demon guard continued walking forward.
“Achoo!” Another sneeze. This time, it was Zhou Jin.
The demon guard pulled out his sword and walked behind the tree. At this moment, a wild cat darted out. “Meow
“It’s this little thing.” The demon guard heaved a sigh of relief and retracted his sword.
Actually, they had already entered this palace. Logically speaking, there was no harm in killing him. However, Zhou Jin was very glad that they did not kill him so early because this guard was not an ordinary guard, but the trusted aide of the Demon Clan’s Great Guardian. He was here to report to the Demon Clan’s Great Guardian.
He did not dare to think that if he was gone, the Great Guardian would instantly discover that something had happened to the Earth Demon Palace.
Zhou Jin and Little Rakshasa followed the demon guard into a gloomy and cold hall. The hall was huge, and on the tall steps at the top was a seat engraved with a ferocious black dragon totem.
Dozens of demon experts worshiped the empty chair under the lead of the Great Guardian. Everyone crossed their hands and pressed their palms against their shoulders. They piously bowed three times.
The leader of the demons said, ‘We will offer our blood in honor of the Demon Lord’s return!”
“We will offer our blood in honor of the Demon Lord’s return!”
“We will offer our blood in honor of the Demon Lord’s return!”
“We will offer our blood in honor of the Demon Lord’s return! ”
The entire hall seemed to be shaken by the powerful voices of the experts. Zhou Jin felt his ears go numb, and an indescribable strange feeling ran through his heart, as if something was about to come out of his body and resist the aura of those demon experts.
However, Zhou Jin understood that he could not do this. He was not a match for this group of people. He adjusted his aura and suppressed the abnormality.
“Great Guardian.” The demon guard followed by Zhou Jin and Little Rakshasa walked to the Great Guardian’s side and cupped his hands.
“Is it done?” The Demon Clan’s Great Guardian put down his bow and stood up straight. He looked at him indifferently and asked.
The demon guard nodded. “He has already been carried to the Demon Worshiping Altar. However, is he really the reincarnation of that person? How could he so easily…”
“That person was the one who killed the Demon Lord back then. How could he be subdued by me so easily? Do you want to say this?” The Demon Clan’s Great Guardian sneered.
“I wouldn’t dare.” The demon guard lowered his head.
The Demon Clan’s Great Guardian continued to sneer. “He hasn’t regained his original ability. Of course, he’s not my match.”
Zhou Jin frowned.
There were both him and this little Rakshasa who were carried onto the Demon Worshiping Altar. Was the reincarnation of the one mentioned by the demons one of them? Or could there be other Demon Worshiping Altars here?
The Demon Clan’s Great Guardian clenched his fists and said, “Back then, he killed the Demon Lord. Now, he’s using his life to sacrifice the Demon Lord. It can be considered as taking revenge for the blood feud from thousands of years ago! Our Demon Clan has already waited for this day for too long. When the Demon Lord returns and leads his entire clan to fight back, the so-called orthodox cultivators of the Holy Land will all become prisoners of the Demon Clan! ”
The Demon Clan’s Great Guardian did not say much, but there was a lot of information. The “that person” he mentioned seemed to be from the Holy Land, and since he had reincarnated, it meant that he had actually died too. He did not know if he had perished with the Demon Lord or if he had died for some other reason after killing the Demon Lord. And now, that person had reincarnated and was even captured by the Demon Clan.
Also, how did the Demon Lord return? Did he have a reincarnated person like that person, or did he use the resentment and flesh of those offerings to reconstruct his demon body?
Zhou Jin had only been in this world for a few months. The information he knew was too little, not enough to deduce the entire truth. However, one thing was certain. Those who were captured would all die in the Earth Demon Palace.
The Demon Clan’s Great Guardian instructed again, “Strengthen the security. Don’t let anyone come and disturb the return of the Demon Lord. Anyone who trespasses into the Demon Palace will be killed without mercy!”
As soon as he finished speaking, another demon guard hurriedly walked in. “Great Guardian! Something happened to the Demon Worshiping Platform!
The person in the jade coffin is missing!”
“Which person in the jade coffin is missing?” The Demon Clan’s Great Guardian asked.
The guard said, “Both are missing! Four guards carrying the coffins have been killed!”
“What?!” The Demon Clan’s Great Guardian frowned.
“Great Guardian!” Another demon guard walked in and cupped his hands. “I just caught a few thieves at the back of the mountain! They escaped from the dungeon! I wonder if the matter of the Demon Worshiping Platform has anything to do with them?”
“Bring them in!”
Under the Demon Clan’s Great Guardian’s order, a group of guards escorted a big bird, a white-haired old man, and three black eggs in..
