Chapter 1222: Untitled
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The refinement of the demon seed meant that the souls of the thousand people who had been captured had been extracted. The chances of the servants surviving were almost zero.
Zhou Jin felt a deep suffocation.
The servant was the first person to express kindness to him after he came to the Holy Land. This “he” was referring to him, Zhou Jin, not the Holy Master of the Holy Sect.
That was his first attempt to escape from the Holy Sect. He hid in a woodshed and happened to meet the mute slave who had returned to the outer court to be a servant. The mute slave gave him a bowl of hot porridge.
After that, he was found by Shui Yueqing and the others. He brought the mute slave to his side. After the mute slave found out who he was, he was originally a little frightened. After getting along for a period of time, he gradually accepted his new duty.
He was still sweeping, but he was no longer looked down on. He could take care of Zhou Jin’s courtyard at will.
In the Holy Sect, no one would think highly of a mute slave without cultivation potential. However, if this mute slave was the only person Zhou Jin left by his side, his status would rise.
Many people tried to bribe the mute slave, wanting him to persuade Zhou Jin or to report to them in time when Zhou Jin escaped again. The mute slave did not accept anyone’s threats and promises. He only lowered his head to do his own thing and respect Zhou Jin.
In everyone’s eyes, he was the Holy Master of the Holy Sect. Only when he was with that mute slave could he feel that he was still the Zhou Jin of the Sorcerer Clan. Therefore, when they escaped from the Holy Sect for the last time, Zhou Jin brought along that mute slave.
However, Zhou Jin did not expect the other party to lose his life because of this.
“I killed him…” Zhou Jin’s eyes turned red.
Shui Yueqing was not a cold-blooded person. No matter what, the other party was a member of the Holy Sect. He was also very indignant at being killed by the demons just like that. Moreover, he was not the only one who had been harmed.
“Did we not fight well enough?” A young voice came from behind.
Shui Yueqing turned around and saw three black eggs lying on the windowsill. The three of them had sad expressions.
Shui Yueqing was clearly so angry by these little fellows that his heart ached, but when he saw the three of them like this, he recalled their heroism when facing the demons. Shui Yueqing shook his head. “No, you guys fought very well. We were late.”
When Little Rakshasa and Zhou Jin left the graveyard, more than half of the offerings had already been killed or injured. By the time Shui Yueqing and the others arrived at the Earth Demon Palace, there was no one left alive. However, the extracted souls needed time to temper and condense. And now, it has finished condensing. The Demon Lord’s consciousness swallowed it and formed a new demon seed, which could also be called a completed demon soul. “We have the Demon Lord’s soul, then what about the body?”
“They’ve long refined a new body for him. They’re only short of a top-notch inner core.” When Shui Yueqing said this, he didn’t forget to glance into the room. “The demons originally wanted to use a high-level inner core of a demonic cultivator. Unexpectedly, they discovered a holy demon fusion later on.
“He has a name. It’s Xiao Zhao,” Yan Jiuchao said.
Shui Yueqing was stunned. After interacting with each other for an entire morning, how could he not know that Xiao Zhao was actually not their child? The three little eggs and the baby should be. They actually gave a name to an evil creature. They were really crazy.
Shui Yueqing did not dwell on this problem for too long. To him, the most important thing now was to resist the demons. “Don’t be happy too early. Even if the Demon Lord doesn’t obtain the inner core of the Holy Demon Fusion, he’s still powerful enough.”
“He’s powerful, but why didn’t he come out?” Yan Jiuchao asked.
Shui Yueqing said seriously, “That’s because his demonic soul is still fusing with his new body.”
“Oh.” Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows and turned to go into the house.
“What are you going to do?” Shui Yueqing called out to him.
Yan Jiuchao nodded and said, “Leave. Before the Demon Lord has the time to destroy the world, we have to hurry back to our original place.”
Shui Yueqing held his breath. “You left openly. Don’t you feel any guilt at all? If you hadn’t caused trouble last night, I might have long destroyed the Earth Demon Palace and stopped the refinement of the demon seed!”
Yan Jiuchao turned around and looked at Shui Yueqing without blinking. Shui Yueqing’s scalp went numb from his gaze. “What are you looking at?”
“Looking to see how thick your skin is,” Yan Jiuchao said.
“You…” Shui Yueqing choked.
Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “I’m not from your Holy Sect. Your Holy Sect’s mission has nothing to do with me. I wasn’t the one who shouted for you to rush into the demon camp last night. You followed me because you had a rush of adrenaline. Now, you’re pushing the blame to me. Are all the people from your Holy Sect so shameless?”
Shui Yueqing almost vomited blood. How did you say such things? Look at what we did. Who’s more shameless?
Yan Jiuchao would risk his life for the people of the Great Zhou because he was a prince of the Great Zhou. It was his duty to protect the Great Zhou, but he was inexplicably involved in such a godforsaken place. Then, an inexplicable person suddenly pulled him to save the common people.
Forgive him for not having such good morals.
Shui Yueqing looked at his determined back and said, “You can leave, but leave
Zhou Jin behind!”
Shui Yueqing thought he would say, “If you have the ability, try keeping one!”
In the end, he nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
Shui Yueqing widened his eyes in disbelief, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. In the next second, Yan Jiuchao entered the house, took Dabao’s pen and paper, finished writing, and handed it to Shui Yueqing.
Shui Yueqing looked at the words “Zhou Jin” on the white paper and instantly felt terrible.
After Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan finished packing their things, they asked the Sacred Luan to carry the three little eggs. One of them carried Yan Xiaosi, and the other carried Little Rakshasa. Jing Wuzhou still carried Zhou Jin.
“Is the place you came from… really safe?” He already knew that Immortal Lord Jiuchao was not from the Holy Land, but he did not know where exactly. However, he thought that it should not be inferior to the Holy Land. It must be a blessed land with more spiritual energy!
Yu Wan thought for a while and said, “Safer than here.” There were no demons in the Great Zhou, nor were there monsters like demon vines.
“Then I’ll go with you!” Jing Wuzhou patted his chest and said.
At this moment, Jing Wuzhou did not know that he was going to a place without any spiritual energy. He was even fantasizing that his realm could rise another level after arriving at the grotto-heaven of Immortal Lord Jiuchao.
Zhou Jin and the children fell asleep one after another. It was very quiet along the way. Shui Yueqing looked at their departing backs and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. The white-haired old man sighed. “You should keep it to deal with the demons.”
The Grandmaster only had one life-saving talisman. After that attack, this sword was no different from an ordinary sword. Although they were not family, they were not enemies. Using it on them was at most to vent his anger.
Shui Yueqing said coldly, “I know. I’ll go to the Demon Clan now and kill the
Demon Lord before he completely adapts to his body!”
The white-haired old man’s eyes flashed. “You go first. I’ll come later.”
Shui Yueqing left. However, the Demon Lord was much stronger than he had imagined. Before he could approach the Earth Demon Palace, he was sent flying far away by the powerful energy of the Demon Soul.
He fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood!
At this moment, the Demon Lord had yet to complete the fusion with his new body, but he was already powerful to the point that he could not kill him.
The powerful pressure of the Demon Soul surged towards him. Shui Yueqing felt that his entire body was controlled. In his realm, he was actually no longer afraid of the invasion of demonic energy. However, this was not ordinary demonic energy, but demonic energy that had been refined by the Demon Soul and was ten times or even a hundred times richer.
The demonic energy drilled into his body and flowed freely through his meridians like ten thousand thin needles. It was so painful that he screamed and wailed on the ground.
The Demon Soul seemed to have made up his mind to destroy this disciple who was emitting the aura of a Holy Sect. Shui Yueqing’s consciousness gradually blurred. He was about to lose all his strength.
However, at this moment, he suddenly gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and pulled out the long sword. He cut the blood on his finger and woke up the wisp of divine sense left on the sword by the ancestor.
A cold sword light flashed, and sword energy soared into the sky. A dragon roar sounded, and the boundless spiritual energy that seemed to be like a dragon bit fiercely at the Demon Soul. The demon soul was injured and let out a shrill scream. It actually broke free from its new body.
“Demon Lord!” The expressions of the Demon experts changed.
The spirit dragon formed by the patriarch’s divine sense swallowed the new body. That was the body they had prepared for the Demon Lord, one in a million. It was actually destroyed just like that!
The spiritual dragon did not stop because of this. Instead, it continued to track the demon soul, intending to bite him to death before he could mature.
The Demon Soul turned around and fled. The direction he fled was in the direction Yan Jiuchao, Yu Wan, and the others had left..
