Chapter 74: The Moonlit Path Home, the Legendary Target of the Moon Demon Clan?
"Haoyue City?"
Ye Ling was naturally no stranger to this name.
This was his old home.
Ever since he transmigrated, he had lived there, and only later went to Yulong Pass to seek opportunities to embark on a higher path, but the days spent living in Haoyue City were the happiest for Ye Ling.
This old guy, is he planning to let me return home in glory?
That doesn't make sense; he is the one who wants to return home in glory.
But actually, not now, but rather planning to wait until the later Demon Hunt Squad Competition, or perhaps finding Li Xin and Long Haochen before that to go together. Oh, right!
Long Haochen! Ye Ling remembered; the next Demon Hunt Squad Competition was already very close.
According to the original work, Long Xingyu had actually already headed to Odin Town long before this.
In other words, because of him, their "father and son" reunion was delayed?
Huh? Ye Ling urgently needed to confirm and hurriedly asked: "Teacher Xingyu, Haoyue City is merely a third-tier city, and Hall Master Nalan is only at the Fifth Rank."
"Moreover, it is quite far from here, belonging to an extreme border city. Why are you going there? Are you planning to see an old friend?"
Hearing this, Long Xingyu sighed inwardly, but still nodded and said: "Yes."
"However, not an old friend, but family—the two people closest to me in this life." Having said that, he added: "My wife, who is also your mistress."
Ye Ling asked deliberately: "Then the other one is your child, who will be my future junior brother?"
"Junior brother?" Long Xingyu was stunned: "Yes."
The term "junior brother" generally refers to a male of lower status in the same sect, but it doesn't have to be; it can also refer to both junior brothers and sisters of the same sect.
So, strictly speaking, it is about the same.
However, the child beside Yue'er is not a boy, but a girl—perhaps not even his own, but that one from the Demon Race.
Thinking of this, Long Xingyu's resolute face became somewhat ferocious, his eyes hesitant and filled with a trace of anger. He had never blamed Bai Yue once, but in his heart, there was only the desperate look he had ten years ago when he learned his wife had been abducted by the Demon Race, as well as the humiliation within it.
This made his heart restless, even bringing about a trace of extremism.
Others might not have felt anything, but Ye Ling reacted immediately.
Is my teacher cuckolding himself again? Ye Ling was speechless inside. Long Xingyu was good at everything, but sometimes he truly had extreme thoughts. However, he still had to look after his own teacher; he would try his best to let them resolve their misunderstandings later.
But the key now is not this; he must go there first: "Teacher, then let's go."
"Reunions with old friends and family are the most exciting and urgent, so there is no need to hesitate here."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Long Xingyu quickly calmed down.
Whatever happens, deal with it after arriving.
The next moment, he reached out his hand, and a red-gold light flashed across his body as a strange platform emerged. What else could it be but the platform of the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter? "Teacher, what is this?" Ye Ling asked, puzzled.
"The reason the Divine Seal Throne can be called the strongest Artifact is not just because it possesses various abilities, but because it is extremely comprehensive," Long Xingyu explained.
"Whether it is attack, defense, amplification, extra equipment, or self-recovery ability, all are extremely strong, and likewise, its speed is also terrifying. It is just that there might be a limit on the number of people it can carry, but for just you and me, there is no problem."
Ye Ling: "..."
Fine, fine, fine. This is the Divine Seal Throne. You are an Artifact, you are awesome, you are right.
With nothing to say, Ye Ling jumped onto the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter in one step, without any concealment or hesitation.
Anyway, Long Xingyu had given him partial authorization before, so what was he afraid of?
The Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter did not resist Ye Ling, but naturally manifested a seat for Ye Ling to sit cross-legged and cultivate.
Moreover, it was extremely stable.
Ye Ling happily went up and sat down. As an Artifact, the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter possessed extremely powerful slaughter Spiritual Power and Light Spiritual Power, which were very steady for his cultivation. At the very least, for the levels he had broken through rapidly before, it was extremely simple to stabilize them completely.
"Let's go, Teacher. Why are you still standing there in a daze?" Ye Ling looked at Long Xingyu and asked, puzzled.
Long Xingyu: "..."
This damn thing is my Divine Seal Throne; what is this "reversing the heavens" act of you inviting me?
Feeling speechless, he quickly leaped up and sat on the throne. The master and disciple looked at the few people below, exchanged greetings, said nothing more, and then flew away.
Watching the red-gold throne leave, the crowd lowered their heads, wondering what they were thinking.
Sheng Caier looked directly at Sheng Yue and said: "Great-grandfather, take me to the Reincarnation Land for trials."
Sheng Yue: "???"
Everyone nearby was stunned.
"Caier, you have finally managed to avoid pain with such difficulty; won't you rest for a while?" Lan Yanyu stepped forward, feeling some heartache.
"No!" Caier bit her lip stubbornly, looked up at the sky, and said firmly: "He is right. I truly have no goals now, and I don't know what I should do."
"But I know what I can do now. It has nothing to do with righteousness, nothing to do with the Holy Alliance, but as the Samsara Saintess, when I have no goals, the only thing I can do is become stronger, relying on everything that can make me stronger."
Sheng Caier's voice was not heavy. She looked in the direction Ye Ling had left and thought to herself:
"I have no goals, but I know what his goal is."
"Since that is the case, I am willing to let his goal become my goal, and find the way to truly make his goal my goal..."
Demon Race territory.
Moon splashes on the river.
Demon Princess Yue Ye walked elegantly on the street with her bare jade feet.
As a princess of the Moon Demon Clan, her status within the Demon Race was very special. Even though the place she was going to now was the sleeping palace of the Demon Crown Prince Abao, the surrounding Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon guards still dared not stop her.
"Brother Bao, what happened with Xiaoxiao?"
"Why was I stopped when I went to her sleeping palace?"
The moment she saw Abao, Yue Ye got straight to the point and stated the question clearly.
"It is said that during this Autumn Offensive at Exorcist Pass, because of her, the entire battle situation was lost, so she was imprisoned by Father Emperor."
Abao explained.
After a long while, he shook his head: "She is always like this. Clearly her strength is insufficient, yet every day she thinks about finding useless amusement."
"Now, she has caused a great disaster. If not for the bloodline she carries, if she were just an ordinary Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon, I fear Father Emperor would have already chosen to purge the family."
A trace of disdain hung on the corners of Abao's mouth; even though Leng Xiao was his younger sister, he still mocked her.
Yue Ye did not intend to continue the conversation here, instead saying simply: "I am a bit worried about Xiaoxiao. Brother Bao, take me to her sleeping quarters."
"As the Crown Prince of the Demon Race, they would not dare to stop you." Hmm, even though she was a Demon Princess of the Moon Demon Clan and could usually enter and exit the Crown Prince and Princess's residences at will, she could not go when Moshenhuang Fengxiu had issued a decree.
Abao did not say much; regarding this younger sister, she could only be called deserving, but since Yue Ye had spoken, she naturally would not refuse.
She immediately took her there.
"Crown Prince." The female Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon there blocked them at the first moment, but under one glance from Abao, she instantly shut her mouth and honestly let them pass.
Letting Abao and Yue Ye step into Leng Xiao's sleeping quarters.
Upon walking into Leng Xiao's room, a strange radiance emanated from within; it was an amplification of Spiritual Power, which gave Yue Ye and Abao a sudden shock.
Opening the door, they saw a petite black dragon coiled there, with a wisp of strange spiritual energy constantly rising from its body. The black dragon did not have that domineering appearance, but instead had a unique cuteness, and its eyes were an unprecedented pink.
After seeing that someone had entered, she immediately transformed into human form; who else could it be but Leng Xiao?
"Brother Bao, Sister Yue, why have you two come?" Leng Xiao looked at the two and asked.
"You actually worked hard to cultivate and broke through to the Fourth Rank." Yue Ye looked at all this, somewhat dumbfounded.
Abao's cultivation was Seventh Rank, which was because he cultivated diligently.
And Yue Ye and Leng Xiao were about the same before, both at the Third Rank Peak. She had originally thought the two would continue to be similar, but she had not expected Leng Xiao to actually surpass her? "People always grow, and dragons do too, Sister Yue~" Leng Xiao huffed proudly.
"Tell me about the specific situation at that time." Yue Ye had no scruples, walking familiarly to her best friend's side and asking.
Leng Xiao gave a rough account.
Upon hearing about that kick after Ye Ling flew up, she also walked to Leng Xiao's side with a slight smile, reached out to lift and support her, and laughed: "Not bad, it hasn't flattened out yet."
"Sister Yue." Leng Xiao's previous dignity completely collapsed, and she cried out coquettishly.
However, Abao could not be bothered to pay attention to the teasing between these two best friends, but he heard something that interested him: "And then?"
Toward her older brother, Leng Xiao still had a little bit of awe, so she naturally ended her teasing and told everything that followed.
And Abao's eye sockets grew redder the more he listened: "Oh? You mean to say that this person's combat talent and inherent talent are both extremely powerful."
"Even the War-Crazy Demon God Anan expressed his own admiration when he saw him. Such strong natural talent? Then I must certainly go and take a look."
"I will find Mendi to prophesy."
Abao dared to act as soon as he thought of it, and he left at the first moment.
Seeing this, Yue Ye exchanged a look with Leng Xiao. Leng Xiao could not leave, so she could only harbor the thought in her heart of rubbing Ye Ling under her feet in the future.
Then she let Yue Ye go to keep an eye on her eldest brother.
Star Demon God Inheritance Hall.
At this moment, the Star Demon God successor Mendi was wearing a mask, looking somewhat surprised: "Oh? Being the same Third Rank, he defeated Princess Leng Xiao, and even made the Demon God Anan feel satisfied?"
"There is actually such a human?"
Mendi looked surprised; this matter was indeed unusual.
"Prophesy where he will appear next; I want to go over and take a look." Abao was very straightforward.
Mendi immediately prophesied; this was not a major matter and would not damage anything: "It will be in a place called Haoyue City; it seems to be a human border city."
"I know this, but it is not a large city. According to human classification, it is just a Third-Level city. The city lord and the officials within are only at the Fifth Rank." Yue Ye spoke up.
"Fifth Rank?" Abao laughed happily: "Simple enough, that will be a hunt."
Mendi on the side immediately stopped him: "Your Highness, please wait a moment. It is not that simple. In my investigation, this youth named Ye Ling is accompanied by an uncertain factor."
"Then, I re-prophesied, and this uncertain factor manifests on you as a certain-death situation!"
"In other words, if you go, you will undoubtedly die!"
Mendi advised.
For the Star Demon Clan, prophecy was a daily routine, especially this kind of prophecy with a fixed outcome, which could be solved by consuming a lifespan that was practically negligible.
Just for this wave, the fact was fixed: Abao would undoubtedly die. Hmm, so he simply stated it.
Abao was stunned.
He wanted to say something, but Yue Ye stopped him in advance: "Then what about me?"
Mendi looked at Yue Ye and said: "As for the Moon Demon Witch, no death trap appears. It is just that the outcome is confusing, but there is almost no death trap."
Mendi felt this prophecy was very strange, but he was still young and did not want to consume his own lifespan to deduce it with full force.
"It seems it should be because my cultivation is on the lower side, only at the Third Rank Peak, plus my half-human, half-demon bloodline, so the resistance from the humans there will be smaller."
"Brother Bao, you had better not go. As a Seventh Rank Demon Dragon Crown Prince, your arrival in human territory will inevitably cause problems. If I go, perhaps it will be much simpler to investigate."
Yue Ye explained.
This matter was not a big deal, and Abao would not act arbitrarily, so he nodded and agreed with Yue Ye's statement.
As for Mendi, he looked at Yue Ye with worry in his heart.
For some reason, just as she had completely made the decision, the fate line of Yue Ye in his star chart seemed to have undergone a not-insignificant transformation.
But it was extremely strange; even after prophesying, there was no complete result, as if it had been forcibly interfered with by something.
Moon Demon Palace.
Yue Ye knelt on one knee, her whole person appearing very sincere, her attitude solemn, and she called out: "Father."
Ahead, a bright moon flashed by and transformed into human form. A very handsome man with his upper body bare walked out slowly, a touch of gentleness between his brows.
This was the Moon Demon God Agares, the peerless powerhouse in the Demon Race second only to the Demon God Emperor Moshenhuang Fengxiu, a terrifying existence of the Ninth Rank Eighth Level, who even had the power to fight briefly against the Demon God Emperor Moshenhuang Fengxiu.
"What is it?" Agares asked.
Yue Ye told him about the matter regarding Leng Xiao, and subsequently added: "I am quite interested in this matter."
"It is said that he is some kind of Destined Knight. There are not many in the human race who have had this title. Your daughter intends to go and observe, and see what will happen."
"Perhaps, it will be a help to you in what follows."
Hearing this, Agares became a little interested: "Destined?"
"You certainly have a heart for this."
"Very well, go and see. Mind your safety, and remember your mission; the things you are to do in the future are no small matter."
Yue Ye nodded immediately and said: "I understand, Father!"
Their Moon Demon Clan, or rather, the two of them, father and daughter, were plotting and about to carry out a great event sufficient to shock the entire Demon Race!
