The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1059 The Forgotten Ruins III

"Why are there so many creatures like that in this place?" Yang Zhou said in confusion.

"This has something to do with Lao Min Na right?" Tao Ji Fang looked at Li Mo Zhen with a probing look.

After hearing Zhao Li Xin's explanation that night everything moves according to Zhao Li Xin's words, just like he said three days later The impenetrable Heaven's Gate sect barrier was crumbling down soon after hundreds of strange creatures attacked the capital city, if it weren't for Zhao Li Xin warning and help by giving them spirit stones weapon they wouldn't have a chance against those hybrid Beasts and never in a million years Tao Ji Fang would have guessed that this all was Lao Min Na's crazy plan.

"Of course, this is all because of Lao Min Na" Li Mo Zhen didn't hide his disdain, "He breed these creatures and deliberately released them in the Empyrean Green forest, why didn't release this beast outside this city I had no idea perhaps this all just part of her sick experiment!" Li Mo Zhen who had met face to face with Lao Min Na had so much regret for not killing that woman right then and there if only he did maybe none of this would have happened, well but maybe he would have been killed by that Demon lord before he could kill her and that will be a waste.

Yuan Shao sheathed his sword and then share recovery pills with their injured members then he handed a water bottle to Li Mo Zhen.

"Don't be angry, it will only cloud your judgment, I know you worry about your wife and I feel the same way as you but we must believe that miss Lory will take care of them besides our wives is not that weak" yuan Shao give Li Mo Zhen meaningful eyes.

Li Mo Zhen recalled how Yang Xi Ying, Ming Yue Yin, and Lory used to make trouble here and there whenever they got together.

The corner of Li Mo Zhen's lips curled into a relief smile, Yuan Shao is right, those three girls were not only strong they were resourceful, smart, and very cunning as long they were together nothing will happen to them, finally, Li Mo Zhen could put down his worry then accepted the water bottle from Yan Shao only then he realizes he was thirty Li Mo Zhen then took a mouthful of water before he gives it back to Yuan Shao.

"Lo-Yi? Is that Luo Ri Yi's real name?" Tao Ji Fang guessed. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

His blunt question left Li Mo Zhen and Yuan Shao stunned for a moment, then they looked at each other and sighed, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

"Yes!" Yuan Shao answered briefly before he took a large gulp and then wiped his mouth.

Getting his answer Tao Ji Fang probes further "I know Lao Min Na wants to spread chaos in this world but I don't understand how this benefits her when the world is destroyed and what motivates her? the more I think about it the less it makes sense…" Tao Ji Fang stares at Li Mo Zhen with eyes pleading for an explanation.

Li Mo Zhen knew that Zhao Li Xin didn't explain apart from the existence of hybrid beasts and some dark creatures anyway, Li Mo Zhen guessed that Zhao Li Xin didn't explain about critters and Lesser- Demons for Lory sake, even though Zhao Li Xin taught Tao Ji Fang and his people would purify Qi them but it was only a precaution if Tao Ji Fang and his people encountered critters and lesser-Demons after all the original plan was to use Tao Ji Fang to gather other sect members to attack the Heaven Gate sect and hold down the hybrid beast attacks until reinforcements arrived.

But unexpectedly Tao Bing wen disappeared and met with his wife who was also missing and now Tao Ji Fang and himself chased their beloved one to the Yi Shan Mountain.

This was completely out of the plan therefore, it would be unfair if Tao Ji Fang didn't know what he was up against.

"Do you believe in demons, master Tao?" Li Mo Zhen throws a sudden question.

Tao Ji Fang frown "Is Lao Min Na a demon?" he asks, in the sense that being called a devil is a cultivator who studies black arts that is against the teaching of 'dao' that causes the cultivator becomes a demon.

However, Li Mo Zhen gently shook his head and refuted, "No... a real demon, a dark entity from the darkness that brings chaos and destruction to the whole world"

Tao Ji Fang, Yang Zhou, and several members of the Sword Saint Sect who were treating their wounds fell silent and then simultaneously looked at Li Mo Zhen with disbelief on their faces.

Ignoring their shock Li Mo Zhen continue, "What Lao Min Na serves is a powerful ancient demon and everything she has done until now is based on the wishes of that demon so if you asked what Lao Min Na wants...maybe the more appropriate question is, what is the demon's wanted?" Li Mo Zhen's voice turns dark.

Immediately Li Mo Zhen's words put everyone stupefied they thought they heard wrong or perhaps he was joking unfortunately, Zhao Li Xin's serious face crushed their hope.

"Is...is that even true?" there was a tremor in Tao Ji Fang's voice, he cannot believe Li Mo Zhen's words, no, he actually doesn't want to believe it.

"You have seen all the strange creatures that attacked the city and those that attacked us before, have you seen or heard of it before?" Yuan Shao said.

Tao Ji Fang's voice caught in his throat, he had to admit that he had never seen such a monster or read about it in any ancient books, and when he thought about it, is not make sense how a young woman like Lao Min Na was able to breed such a monster if not there's a great power behind her and in her case is a demon.

"Don't waste any more time, you all had enough rest, right, get up, everyone!! We must quickly find our precious family before Lao Min Na and her demons 'cause in my prediction, they should be here already!" A dangerous glint flashed across Yuan Shao's eyes.

There was an eerie silence that for a moment everything become stand still, yet their heart beating so rapidly as if their heart would leap out of their chest.

Even the members of the Jiu Yun sect couldn't help feeling nervous even though they found out about this earlier, they were still anxious about facing the real demon, not to mention they were still in shock after the deaths of so many of their comrades from the previous battle.

They realize that in this war more people will fall but they can't back down, not when the fate of all humanity is at stake, maybe they won't survive this war but at least their loved ones in their homes will have hope to survive.

"Yes, we must find them before Lao Min Na or the demon!" Li Mo Zhen stepped steadily followed by Yuan Shao and the Jiu Yun sect members.

Tao Ji Fang has a lot of questions but remembers Tao Bing Wen's safety he got anxious even more and Li mo Zhen is right, they have to find their family before it's too late!

they walked down the cobbled stairs leading down until they met another iron door blocking their path, Yuan Shao mustered his strength then he pulls the rusty door making crackling sounds while the others prepared behind him that another monster was waiting for them but they were greeted with silence even so they didn't dare to stand far away from each other in fear the monster will appear from the ceiling or ground like before.

Hence, with careful steps they passed through the door, and then Everyone took out their Luminescent pear while others lit up a torch to light up the place then carefully examined the area around them, as expected they see another human and beast bones scattered all over the place, surely they become warry again.

"This place is like a hallway" Li Mo Zhen whispered to avoid the echo cause he doesn't want accidentally awaken whatever resides in this place.

They passed a long hallway with arched roofs adorned with broken and rusted iron lamps all of sudden Yuan Shao notice something then aimed his pearl at the stone walls to his right and his brows gradually furrowed.

"What's that?" from the side of his eye he notices a strange reflection of a shadow on one side of the wall he then reflexively strides toward the wall with a curious face.

"Hey, where are you going?" Li Mo Zhen pointed his Luminescent pearl at Yuan Shao before he followed Yuan Shao, before long Li Mo Zhen was stunned by the huge carving on the wall. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

"Oh, my goodness..." Li Mo Zhen was stupefied.
