Chapter 1231: Tracking Down the Demonic Wraith
Kid, work hard in cultivation. My master is the most powerful person here and I can manufacture a large number of stronger people! The plan has been thought out, let’s start now. It’ll be slightly har...Chapter 1231 - Tracking the Demon Beast
"These demonic cultivators' auras are indeed different from what I'm familiar with," Shen Xiang nodded, recalling his encounters with demonic cultivators before. Those like the Demon Clan and Ancient Ruined Demon Sect were usually very “gentle”, whereas the auras he felt here made him feel uneasy, carrying a strong sense of aggression.
White Yuanyuan said coldly, "This type of demonic cultivator is called a fiendish demon. They're extremely cruel and violent, and their behavior stems from both the inheritance of their bloodline and their cultivation method! There are also many fiendish demons in Demon Realm. When they go berserk, even their own kind will be brutally killed by them."
"But these fiendish demons usually don't gather together. The fact that they're attacking the cities now implies that they've been gathered together, and if there's a force composed of fiendish demons in the Demon Territory, it would be too terrifying," said Ling Xueyi.
Shen Xiang immediately headed toward the direction she mentioned. He said solemnly, "If these fiendish demons join forces with the Divine Flame Temple or are under their control, it will be a problem. We must take them out and ensure they don't appear in the Human Realm."
"It's very likely. Wang Qunjin is a demonic cultivator, and she's been in Demon Realm for such a long time, mastering many powerful demon techniques. If she uses these techniques to gather the fiendish demons and make them more powerful, controlling this group of fiendish demons by the Divine Flame Temple won't be difficult. Wang Qunjin is a demon king, with absolute authority." White Yuanyuan said in an icy tone. "We must destroy this fiendish demon force, make them more powerful, and then having them invade the human world would be disastrous.".
Shen Xiang moved as quickly as possible, but even that was too slow. He followed Ling Xueyi's direction and arrived at a city, but the city was already in ruins. No life could be felt inside, and no dead bodies were found.
Of course, these dead bodies weren't burnt to ashes. There wasn't even the slightest hint of decay here!
White Yuanyuan carefully recalled her knowledge about demonic techniques. "Apart from devouring abilities, other techniques that could take human life to enhance their strength also exist."
"Perhaps they don't consume humans, but rather take them away…" Shen Xiang noticed that outside the city walls were numerous footprints—large groups of people had been gathered and then mysteriously disappeared.
"If that's the case, what are they taking these people for Are they being used as laborers to mine crystal stones" asked Su Meiyao.
"That's unlikely. If that were the case, they would have sparked outrage among humans in the Human Realm and been targeted by many major forces. They'd surely be wiped out. Now that demons are invading the human world, they've obtained some crystal stone veins, but it's all done by their demon forces. This is something that many human forces can tolerate," said Shen Xiang.
"Sanguine Demon Technique, that must be it! This type of demonic technique requires the most common blood and large quantities. They might've taken a group of people, picked out suitable blood engines from them, tended to those young ones, and periodically drew blood for cultivation." White Yuanyuan's voice suddenly became cold. "This demonic technique is already quite evil, and it was banned by several major demon families in the past. The Divine Realm also launches attacks on those who cultivate this type of technique."
Shen Xiang tracked for two days, finally arriving at a larger city. After he arrived, the aura disappeared—it was probably dissipated by the teleportation array. He inquired about it and learned that more than thirty people wearing red robes had led thousands of humans into the city through a teleportation array and then left.
This city was under the control of the Divine Flame Temple, and Shen Xiang thought that the fiendish demon force cultivating the Sanguine Demon Technique should be related to them!
Shen Xiang couldn't find information about where these fiendish demons led the thousands of humans and eventually discovered that they were sent to a city in Demon Realm called Demon City. However, based on his inquiries, this Demon City was quite prosperous and massive, comparable to major human cities. There were no various kinds of conflicts here, unlike White Yuanyuan's description of the fiendish demons.
"Could it be that fiendish demons can control such violent behavior" White Yuanyuan said in doubt. "Let's go and see, if these people can control their violent tendencies, they might have accomplished something that those fiendish demons in Demon Realm couldn't."
"They would become even more powerful. They come to the Human Realm in search of blood engines, possibly aiming to enhance their strength and make it easier to attack Chen Wu Continent when the time comes," said Shen Xiang.
Shen Xiang entered the teleportation array and was transported to Demon City!
Wang Qunjin is a demonic cultivator, so almost the entire Demon Realm was under control by Divine Flame Temple. Shen Xiang couldn't help but acknowledge their strength, as the Human Realm had more than half of it under control while the Demon Realm was completely controlled by them. Moreover, they had allied with the妖域.
However, this only made demons more rampant in invading the Human Realm because of the lack of resistance from Divine Flame Temple and other powerful forces. Demons could easily invade human territory without interference, only targeting areas controlled by small and medium-sized forces. Large forces were mostly affiliated with Divine Flame Temple, while demons obeyed its orders.
The ones who suffered were all small and medium-sized forces, as Divine Flame Temple didn't need these alliances anymore but treated them as gifts to lure demons. They allowed the forces of demons to flourish freely.
There were indeed major forces that could still resist demons, but not many. They couldn't manage the rest of the Human Realm and could only handle their own territories and nearby areas. Chen Wu Continent was an example, leading Divine Flame Temple to send people everywhere to contact the leaders of small and medium-sized forces. They were asked to join Chen Wu Continent temporarily, gathering there.
Arriving in Demon City, although he already knew the situation beforehand, Shen Xiang was still surprised. This city shared characteristics with prosperous human cities—clean and wide streets, brand new grand buildings, and people who seemed very friendly. There were many people shouting and selling goods on the streets, but it was hard to tell that this was Demon Realm without noticing the strong demonic aura.
Walking on the streets, Shen Xiang suddenly noticed some secret signals. They were characteristic of Jin Longmen and only known by their elders and core members, like Yun Xiaodao.
There were people leaving signals here, implying that there were members of Jin Longmen. Based on the traces he saw, these signals had been left recently.
"My Jin Longmen people are acting here. What kind of actions are they taking" Shen Xiang suddenly felt amused, despite being their chief disciple. He didn't know the specific actions they were taking.ile.“Brat, I knew that you've been fantasizing about my body all along. Don't think anymore!” Dragon Xueyi said in a teasing manner.Shen Xiang releases his Spirit Sea and lets Dragon Xueyi in! Inside...
