--------------------------------
[Can't you prioritize things? Things have come to this point, and you still have time to ask about the banquet?]
Upon hearing Xue Lan's question, Xue Tong, still being held in Xue Lan's hand, began searching for her information and finally pinpointed Ji Yan's location.
[He's currently participating in that so-called Earth Demon God Trial. Didn't I tell you before? He was ambushed by Ji Gu during the Demon God Trial and accidentally ended up in the Yuanming Lower Realm, where he and Long Siyin have a love-hate relationship.]
Upon hearing Xue Lan's voice, a strange smile appeared on Xue Lan's face.
"I now think he might not be able to gain the Demon God's approval..."
Xue Tong was somewhat puzzled: "Why?"
Xue Lan made no attempt to hide her intentions, directly pointing to the awakened demon god in front of her.
"Ji Yan's aura lingers on this remnant soul of a demon!"
Xue Tong burst out laughing.
At the border between the Nine Heavens Demon Realm and the Yuanming Realm, there is a top-level secret realm belonging to the demon race, called the Realm of Life and Death. This place is not only the site of the Demon God's trial, but also the place where the Demon God and the Demon Lord of the Upper Realm fought. It is filled with demonic energy all year round and looks gloomy and terrifying.
At the very center between life and death lies a vast pool of blood, surrounded by four crimson waterfalls. Blood continuously flows into this enormous pool, yet it is like a bottomless pit, never overflowing.
At this moment, some small figures were struggling in the huge pool of blood. These figures were none other than the sons of the demon gods, formed from the demonic energy dissipated by the demon gods.
Ji Yan floated in the middle of the pool, looking at a blood-red ball of light in front of him. The ball of light looked huge, and half of a terrifying face could be vaguely seen in it, but the half of the face had its eyes closed, as if it were asleep.
His task was to absorb the ball of light into his body within a limited time, without disturbing the face in front of him.
He turned around and glanced at his struggling brothers behind him, revealing a contemptuous smile.
Ji Yan had always known that among these sons of demon gods, he and Ji Gu had the highest talent. A few days ago, Ji Gu had offended some demon lord from the upper realm in the lower realm and had his head cut off, his soul annihilated, leaving not a trace of ashes.
With Gu Yi dead, no one can compete with him for the position of Demon God. What he needs to do now is absorb a piece of demon soul in this blood pool.
That's it.
The young man slowly circulated his magic power, and the dark demonic energy directly enveloped the blood-red light in front of him. The blood-red baleful energy flowed through the black demonic energy and transferred to Ji Yan's body.
"His talent is indeed the highest!" Beside the blood pool, above a crimson waterfall directly opposite Ji Gu, two old men in black robes were conversing quietly, and one of them gave this conclusion.
“Having talent is excellent, and there’s no need to worry about my lord being dissatisfied after he wakes up,” another old man in black robes said, his eyes, hidden under a black hood, appearing particularly cloudy.
"That good-for-nothing Xiannu was actually killed in the mortal realm without anyone noticing. It seems that things are really not peaceful in the mortal realm right now. You should go and take a look when you have time. The resurrection of the Demon God must not be allowed to go wrong."
"Yes!"
The old man looked at Ji Yan, whose Blood Pool Sect was gradually merging with the Demon Soul Fragment, and revealed a strange, bloodthirsty smile.
It's just a container.
But the old man only smiled for a moment, and then something changed in the blood pool beneath his face. The crimson light, which had been well enveloped by Ji Yan's demonic energy, began to tremble. It even broke free from Ji Yan's control and slowly flew into the sky.
The old man immediately knelt down, ignoring Ji Yan, whose soul had been damaged by the forced separation during their half-fusion, and instead kowtowed to the crimson light in mid-air:
"Your Majesty, this old servant deserves to die, Your Majesty..."
Ji Yan felt as if half of his soul had been forcibly torn out of his body, and the pain was like a thousand needles constantly pricking his brain.
The crimson light in the sky slowly dissipated the surrounding hazy blood mist, revealing half of a ferocious face. A huge crimson pupil had already opened, and the two old men kneeling on the ground heard a hoarse voice:
"Mist Slave, come with me!"
The old man quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
The old man in black robes transformed into a black shadow and flew into the air. He was then enveloped by the blood mist, and half of his face disappeared into the void, leaving only Ji Yan with a damaged demonic soul.
And his brothers who love to see others make fools of themselves.
Ji Yan covered his left eye, while his right eye revealed a venomous glint of resentment.
"As expected of His Majesty... my great, headstrong father..."
The young man looked at his body and gave a bitter smile.
The demonic energy dissipated, and his body was abruptly interrupted...
wrong……
The young man suddenly came to his senses, and his reason, which had been shattered by the immense pain, gradually began to rebuild.
Just before his remnant soul went out of control, he seemed to hear a familiar female voice.
"Welcome, my lord..."
The blood pool water within hundreds of meters of the banquet was boiling, and the young man in the middle looked like a demon crawling out of the Asura hell.
"Yes, it's her..."
He will never forget that person's voice.
"Xue Lan!"
Within the Garan Secret Realm, Xue Lan looked towards the distant horizon and sensed the slow strengthening of the karmic connection between Ji Yan and herself. A surge of hatred followed the black karmic line, which Xue Lan found somewhat eerie.
"Who is it that is calling me!"
The hoarse voice resounded once more within the secret realm. Although the awakened demon god was asking a question, Xue Lan already sensed a terrifying gaze upon him.
The rogue cultivators behind him were instantly suppressed by the terrifying pressure the moment the demon god awoke, unable to move. Their eyes were filled with fear.
Xue Lan guessed that these rogue cultivators must be kicking themselves. Who would have thought that such a terrifying thing as a demon god would exist in a small Foundation Establishment stage secret realm?
Not far from Xue Lan, beneath the broken wall, Lu Feng took out an extremely magnificent cloak from his sleeve. This was the Dancing Gauze Robe he obtained when he acquired the incomplete map, a magical artifact that controlled concealment.
Xue Tong heard Xue Lan's amused voice: "Lu Feng is going to run away!"
You still have the mind to care about him?
"After all, the protagonist is giving us some face. Xiao Tong, in five breaths, I will withstand some of the pressure for the people behind us. You take Yin Hun and Zhuo Hua and block Lu Feng. Together, lead the rogue cultivators back to the plank road we came up from!"
[That fog hides...]
"They won't be coming out of the fog!"
Xue Lan flicked her sleeve and slowly walked forward, finally stopping in front of the stone pillar and bowing deeply.
"Xue Lan...pays homage to my lord!"
"My lord, lend me your soul!"
The moment the words fell, the strange fire mark between the girl's eyebrows and eyes suddenly lit up. Around the bright red mark, a circle of brilliant gold resembled fluttering wings.
"Golden Crow, born in both realms!"
The raging flames engulfed Xue Lan's entire body in an instant, and a tall wall of fire blocked all the demonic energy in front of her.
A silver light flew out from the flames and was caught in Xue Tong's arms.
That's guiding the soul.
The girl's voice was calm and composed:
"Xiaotong, run..."
Xue Tong, clutching the Blazing Bow and the Soul-Guiding Sword, ran towards Lu Feng's direction!
