"Houqing is trapped in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, Fei Lian escapes into the Great Abyss Mountain, Lu Wu is imprisoned in the Lunar Temple, only Gouchen and the remaining demons are hiding under the 100,000 mountains."
On the summit of Great Abyss Mountain, the bloody light scattered and everything returned to normal.
The red figure sat cross-legged with Xu Han and the others. The birds and beasts that had been avoiding them in the mountain forest seemed to have changed their temperament at this moment. They would occasionally fly over and stop on the red figure's shoulders, chirping without listening. Not far away, there were even Elk Rabbits waiting for their curious eyes to stare at them.
"Lu Wu? But didn't you also say that? Lu Wu is trapped in the Lunar Temple. How could Xuan'er be the Demon Lord Lu Wu?"
Hearing Fei Lian's words, Xu Han couldn't help but frown. Although he somewhat noticed Xuan'er's unusual behavior, he never thought that this little fellow who had been following him would be one of the four great Monster Monarchs of the Monster race.
Furthermore, although Xuan'er was somewhat special, she did not look like the demon lord who could summon the wind and rain.
"At the beginning of the world, humans and demons lived together. The demons were their masters and subordinates. Before the demons were born, the four great demon lords were gods that walked on earth."
"Fei Lian is in charge of the wind and rain, Houqing is in charge of the world, Gouchen Mu nurtures all living beings, and Lu Wu comforts the undead."
'"Later, when the Half Demon appeared, they took our place and regained control of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. However, we still have some of our remaining abilities left. I saw it when the Vast Ocean Flow came here, and I roughly guessed that it used the Golden Cicada Shedding Technique to separate out a portion of its spiritual sense and escape from the Lunar Temple."
Saying this, Fei Lian glanced at Xu Han's right arm and said, "This is also why I promised Canghai Liu to give you my right arm."
Xu Han's brows furrowed even deeper, but no matter what, he was unable to understand the connection between the two.
Fei Lian seemed to have seen through Xu Han's doubts. He continued, "Do you think the Demon Suppressing Pagoda or the Lunar Temple really exist to seal us?"
Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned. He couldn't help but think of the hundreds of Kunlun tribulations that descended from the heavens and attempted to annihilate the Demon Suppressing Pagoda when Houqing was born. In a certain sense, the Demon Suppressing Tower seemed to be protecting Houqing from being discovered by something that had always coveted him.
But if that wasn't the case, then why would Canghai Liuliu risk his life to reinforce the seal on Great Abyss Mountain?
Fei Lian stood up. The birds on his body stood up one after another and circled around him. Fei Lian smiled and waved his hand. He said, "Go play by yourself."
Those birds actually seemed to understand Fei Lian's words. At that time, they all soared into the sky, chirping for a while, and then they really escaped into the forest.
"Do you know why neither the changes of the four seasons nor the devouring of the Great Zhou Dragon Qi in your mouth can affect the spring-like seasons on the Great Abyss Mountain?" Fei Lian asked.
Xu Han was stunned. He had never thought about this question in detail. Now that he heard this question, his expression changed as if he had thought of something. Immediately, his gaze fell on Fei Lian as he looked up and down at the man bathed in the bloody light.
After experiencing the twinning of dragons and snakes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, although Xu Han had dispersed all of his dragon qi, he was extremely sensitive to it. At this moment, he intentionally noticed that this Monster Lord's body actually contained an extremely dense, azure, and nearly scarlet dragon qi.
He suddenly understood that the peak of this small Great Abyss Mountain actually had such boundless luck. No wonder it was so luxuriant, and the seasons were like spring.
Fei Lian's age could only be counted in tens of thousands, so he could naturally be said to have read countless people. The slight change in Xu Han's expression fell into his eyes and he could already understand what he was thinking.
He continued, "The four great demon kings are carrying the powerful luck of the demon race. Back then, half of the demon divine species were buried in the Kunlun Abyss, and the two races started a dispute again. As you all know, with the appearance of the fierce sword, the demon race was defeated, and the four great demon kings were seriously injured."
'"This is a once and for all matter. As long as we kill the four great demon kings, the demon race will have no capital to fight against the human race. Whether we will enslave tens of thousands of demons or slaughter all of them will be a matter of human will. Do you know why they will let us go?"
Xu Han furrowed his brows. The matter of the Ancient Era was far too old for him. He naturally found it difficult to answer this question, but logically speaking, it was truly unimaginable for the rulers of the human race to make such a decision. Therefore, he asked in a low voice, "You mean that you were sealed here with hidden secrets?"
"It can't be considered a secret. It's just that the human rulers at that time came up with something." Fei Lian smiled and then his eyebrows sank. His tone was also a little low, "Where did those fierce swords come from?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Han was puzzled. Isn't the vicious sword of the Sword Mausoleum something forged by a human genius? Fei Lian's words couldn't help but be somewhat puzzled.
"You are the descendant of the Southern Desolate Sword Mausoleum. I believe you know more about the Dao of the Sword than I do."
"The strength of a sword, apart from the sword-forging method and the materials used to forge the sword, the most important thing is the spirit of the sword. Wang Yangming of the Southern Wilderness had cultivated for a thousand years, nourished by tens of thousands of divine swords, and only after Wei Changming blocked the tribulation did he suppress the Immortal Dao. Only then did this sword possess the ability to slaughter Demon Monarchs. "In the Primordial Era, there wasn't a single True Immortal in the human race who could prove the Dao, so how could he forge a sword spirit that could rival True Immortals?"
"Back then, when the demon race ruled the world, there was a lot of pressure on the human race. I did not conceal this point, but it was far from extinction."
After that, half of the demons appeared and mixed with humans and demons. It was almost chaotic. However, the demi-demon gods died in Kunlun and the humans and demons ruled the world together. They practically maintained the rules set by the demi-demon gods and the two races coexisted peacefully.
"The biggest reason the humans fought against the demons again was because of the appearance of these three vicious swords. It made the humans realize that they had the ability to fight against the demons, which was why the great war between humans and demons took place in the Primeval Era."
"When those in power used their vicious swords to slaughter half of the demon race, However, he discovered that the fierce sword was constantly devouring the fate of the demon race in this kind of slaughter, and relying on this fate to gradually become stronger, it had already reached a point where it gradually lost control. If he used this sword to kill the Demon Lord, the fierce sword that devoured the power of the Demon Lord would definitely lose control completely. The calamity that would result at that time would definitely not be within the control of those in power.
"Realize that that vicious sword was most likely made by someone with a heart, Thanks to the human race, After devouring the fate of the demon race and perhaps even brewing some huge conspiracy, these rulers reached an agreement with us. They cut the 100,000 mountains to the demon race and suppressed me, Kun Wu, and Hou Qing in different places. Then, they placed the three vicious swords in the Southern Wilderness, where the fate of the demon race had been devoured by the half-demons and turned into a wasteland.
"But let it be, The restless power that exists in this world is still staring at us all the time, "In order to prevent them from gaining power from us and for the fate of the human race, the powerful sects of the Sword Mausoleum, Green Lotus Temple, Dragon Hidden Temple, and Lunar Temple were set up to supervise the heavens and the earth. At the same time, they continue to strengthen our seals. For the sake of the fate of our own clansmen, even though we are helpless, we have no choice but to accept this fate calmly."
Hearing this, Xu Han's heart trembled.
Demon Monarch possessed the Demon Monarch's blood essence as well as Dragon Qi. If he could obtain the power of a Demon Monarch, it would be equivalent to possessing both of these things at the same time. These two things were exactly what the Ancient Devil Xiangliu of the Sword Mausoleum needed to create the Ancient Devil Container.
As Xu Han thought of this, a chill instantly arose in his heart. Could it be that the conspiracy against those ancient demons had already begun since ancient times? But what exactly were they? Why did Xiangliu say that this world was a cage that existed to imprison ancient demons? And what exactly was the emperor that Xiangliu spoke of?
These questions instantly surged into Xu Han's mind. His head was a mess, and it was difficult to sort out the entire matter in a short period of time. However, even so, he could feel that everything seemed to be pointing towards the so-called Ancient Devil. Of course, it was also pointing towards the Emperor in the Ancient Devil's mouth … that was him.
"And then what?" Xu Han asked again. However, this time, he could feel that his tone had become extremely dry as he asked this question.
Xu Han was never a person who believed in fate.
From a small beggar in Shangyun City to this day, he possessed enough power to look down on the world. He relied on the courage to die and the disobedient aura.
But one day a man's courage will come to an end, especially when he knows that the courage that seems to have been supporting him is wrong.
He'll be scared, he'll be scared to know the truth…
"Demon Monarch's lifespan should be as boundless as those True Immortals in the sky. Even though I have already experienced tens of thousands of years, I am still unable to know where the limit of my lifespan is."
"But Gouchen, who led his clansmen into the hundred thousand mountains, died more than a thousand years ago…"
"But before she died, she traveled the heavens and earth in the form of a divine soul. In the end, she came to the peak of the Great Abyss Mountain and chatted with me."
"She told me a lot…"
"For example, in the tens of thousands of years that she lived in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, she brought along the demon race to reproduce and survive. Although it was difficult, she gradually began to get on the right track."
"She said that there was still a force in the world that was peeping at this world. Back then, she had been stabbed by the Prison Abyss within the vicious sword, and her injuries had not healed yet. This was also the biggest cause of her death."
"She also said that the heavens and earth are about to suffer a great calamity. The only way to save this calamity is to jump out of this world."
"And to do this, she gave birth to a son before she died…"
"That's her daughter…"
"Her name is…"
"Ah Yan."
