How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!
Chapter 876 - 701: Demon Sect’s Judgment, Earth-Shattering Conspiracy
Now comes the counterattack.
And he actually told the people of the Demon Sect that the Demon Emperor is a lackey of the Mental Path.
If that is truly the case, today’s crisis will be immediately resolved.
Even if he is ruthless in cleansing the Demon Sect, the severity of the conflict would definitely drop by ninety-nine percent.
The Demon Emperor’s Primordial Spirit has now been subjected to soul-searching, and indeed, he revealed this hidden truth.
"What did the Mental Path order you to do?" the Great Elder asked, his face ashen.
The Demon Emperor directly replied, "The Mental Path ordered me to provoke conflict with the Ancient Divine Ruins, dragging the Demon Sect and the Ancient Sect into a state of perpetual strife. This was to weaken the strength of both sects, while also sending the Mental Path’s Dark Demons into the Demon Sect to infiltrate various places, gather the Demon Sect’s secret manuals and resources, and send them back to the Mental Path..."
The entire city was in an uproar.
It turns out that during this generation’s Demon Emperor’s reign, the intense conflict with the Ancient Divine Ruins was part of his actual goals.
The conflict itself was something he exacerbated.
What he wanted was never peace for the Demon Domain; he wanted turmoil.
Only in such a complex and turbulent situation could the strengths of the two top-level powers be consumed.
Thereby allowing the Mental Path to reap the benefits.
The seventeen top-level elders of the Demon Sect were embarrassed; this was their chosen Demon Emperor.
Originally, they relied on him to stabilize the Demon Domain, providing them with a steady stream of talent and resources. Who would have thought everything was the opposite!
The Demon Emperor, with the fundamental guiding principle of weakening the Demon Sect, incited war with the Ancient Divine Ruins, and indeed sent many talents to the Demon Sect, but were those true talents? They were insiders groomed by the Mental Path for a special mission!
As for the resources, the Demon Emperor did indeed send many to the Demon Sect, but in comparison to the Demon Sect’s secret manuals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that the Mental Path wanted, what did that amount to?
These insider secrets were all laid bare, causing chaos among the billions of the Demon Clan below.
In the sky above, a wave of demon clouds churned through the portal, like a person’s emotional turmoil.
Finally, the Great Elder bowed, "Lord, the interrogation is complete, everything awaits your decision!"
Lord!
Billions of the Demon Clan kneeled simultaneously!
Heaven and earth together in deference!
A generation’s Demon Venerable stood behind this portal.
At some unknown time, Lin Xiaosu’s palm became slightly warm, and a hand was placed into his; it was the Moon Demon.
The Moon Demon perhaps did not intend to do anything, but she was nervous.
Because she knew that the person behind this portal was the supreme ruler of all their lives.
A generation’s Demon Venerable, one of the Three Executors, truly standing at the pinnacle of this world.
Behind that door, a black Lotus slowly emerged, seeming both within the door and in some unimaginable distant sky...
A voice came, "Marquis Xueyi!"
The voice was very gentle, yet carried an indescribable eeriness. Lin Xiaosu couldn’t even discern whether it was male or female.
Perhaps it was unrelated to gender.
Lin Xiaosu bowed in mid-air, "Sect Leader!"
The Demon Venerable said, "Marquis, having discovered this, you should have directly informed me. Why did you personally act to kill?"
Lin Xiaosu replied, "I wished to inform the Sect Leader directly, but the Demon Sect is deeply intertwined, and I am insignificant. How could I bypass the Demon Emperor and reach the Sect Leader directly? Furthermore, the Mental Path acts with great secrecy; I am unaware of whom in the Demon Sect might be trustworthy. If I accidentally encountered an insider from the Mental Path, my own life is trivial, but the destruction of the Demon Sect’s ten-thousand-year legacy would be a regret of the Heavenly Dao."
The Demon Venerable said, "So, you destroyed the Demon King Palace just to alarm me?"
Lin Xiaosu smiled, "I naturally know the significance of the Demon King Palace. By destroying this palace, the Sect Leader would certainly come in person."
The Demon Venerable sighed deeply, "I accept this gesture! Marquis, how about a discussion in our Demon Sect?"
"As the human new year approaches, I still wish to return to the Desert City. When time permits, I will surely visit the Demon Sect to meet the Sect Leader!" Lin Xiaosu deeply bowed, "I take my leave now!"
"Great Elder, see the Marquis off!" the Demon Venerable said.
"As you command!" the Great Elder bowed.
"No need to trouble the Great Elder." Lin Xiaosu said, "The Moon Demon will see me off!"
The Great Elder was slightly taken aback.
"Moon Demon, let’s go!"
He stepped forward, the Moon Demon and Han Yan following...
In the next step, they traversed thousands of miles through the sky, landing in the small town of yesteryear.
The small town no longer needed visiting, but Lin Xiaosu still returned, as if he had a subconscious desire to return to the Origin after finishing something.
Or perhaps it was unconscious.
As the Moon Demon departed, the cold wind took over the small garden.
But as she returned, the peach blossom bloomed directly in rage.
In an instant, spring occupied every corner of the small garden.
Winter was thus isolated beyond the clouds.
The water had boiled, the tea fragrant, a cup of tea handed to Lin Xiaosu, the Moon Demon’s heart like the Spring River water.
Three days ago, she found herself in an unprecedented crisis in this small garden, this small pavilion.
But three days later, the same garden, the same pavilion, and everywhere was full of spring scenery.
The mortal enemy of thirty million clansmen had been avenged!
The sword hanging over the heads of the Eight Flower Demon Divisions was gone!
This was her life’s wish. She thought it impossible to fulfill even if she spent her entire life, but under his service, it was all completed in two days.
The starting phase was the beginning of a dream, and now that the dream had come true, she seemed to linger there, unwilling to leave.
Han Yan’s voice seemed to echo in the dream, "Circulation Array...you can truly construct it!"
This was her greatest shock.
Today, she witnessed the Array Heavenly Mechanism in full, and once the Circulation Array was deployed, the Demon King Palace turned to dust!
On Jiangnan Road, many speculated whether Lin could construct the Circulation Array. Logic dictated it was impossible, but this was what he personally stated—face-to-face with Master Miaoyu of Luohua Temple.
