Chapter 86: The Future of the Moon Demon God's Daughter and Father, and Long Lingxi's Answer

~14 min read 2,728 words

"I never expected that the one using the projection of my Second Demon God Pillar would actually not be Long Xingyu."

"But rather a mere Third Rank Peak Knight."

"Interesting, truly interesting. This Knight is not ordinary."

Agares expressed curiosity at this result, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

"Second Brother, what did you see?" Feng Xiu asked.

Moshenhuang Fengxiu could investigate the foundations of any Demon God Pillar and Demon God, but the Sun, Moon, and Star pillars were the core foundation of the Demon Race; although the Demon God Emperor was the supreme powerhouse, the other two pillars would not be suppressed by him at their core.

Therefore, he did not know what the Moon Demon God had seen.

"It is indeed a strange scene, Big Brother, you can take a look," Agares said easily; this was no big deal.

Moshenhuang Fengxiu took it to examine, and a trace of surprise appeared on his calm face: "Oh? A Destined Knight?"

"It seems this Destined Knight is different from the previous three Destined Knights. To think he could possess such disposition and strength while merely at the Third Rank Peak."

"To actually be able to withstand the pressure of your Moon Demon God Pillar and utilize the authority within it is indeed an interesting matter."

Moshenhuang Fengxiu evaluated, even momentarily ignoring the death of the Wolf Demon God, instead watching all of this with great interest.

"A Destined Knight?"

"Big Brother, what is this?" Agares asked in confusion.

Immediately, Moshenhuang Fengxiu briefly explained everything that had happened before. After hearing these words, Agares was somewhat surprised.

"No wonder my little niece was grounded by you; I suppose it is because of this. But does Big Brother not intend to intervene?" Agares asked.

"If he were dead, naturally I would avenge him. But as for failure, as the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon King, he must resolve all of this himself, rather than relying on his elders!" Feng Xiu said indifferently, then turned his gaze toward Zhen Nan Guan, where the Priest Temple was located.

"Moreover, as a member of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Royal Clan, possessing endless potential, stepping into the Seventh Rank within five years is not very difficult. The Meng-huan Tiantang is about to open; at that time, let her make amends for her crimes."

Hearing this, Agares was stunned and asked in surprise: "Meng-huan Tiantang? A Godhead? Big Brother, have you already stepped into that level?"

"Not yet, but I am only one step away. In a while, I will begin seclusion, and at that time, the Demon Race will be left to you," Feng Xiu explained.

Hearing this, Agares was stunned, a trace of unwillingness emerging deep in his heart.

Moshenhuang Fengxiu was already powerful; now he himself was at the Ninth Rank Eighth Level, while the Demon God Emperor was at the Ninth Rank Ninth Level Peak, already suppressing him. And once he stepped into the God Level...

This most powerful Demon God Emperor in history would become even stronger. Once he obtained a Godhead and achieved the status of a Human God, perhaps his own ambitions and goals would completely vanish? No, he could not continue to fight alone like this.

Of course, thoughts were just thoughts. Agares had lived for hundreds of years and was a cunning old fox, playing one game in the shadows and another in the light. He congratulated him: "Then congratulations, Big Brother. From now on, you will be the third, the youngest, the strongest, and the first Demon God Emperor in the history of the Demon Race to step into the Million Spiritual Power!"

The Demon God Emperor had been paying attention to Agares's emotions, but he did not see any clues.

And just at this moment, a flash of orange-red light appeared on the side, and the Star Demon God Vasak, dressed in a star robe, walked out, followed by the Star Demon God successor Mendi, who wore a white eye mask.

"Big Brother, Second Brother," Vasak bowed.

"Your Majesty, Lord Moon Demon God," Mendi called out immediately.

Then he knelt down instantly and said: "This matter regarding the Moon Demon Witch is entirely due to my error in prophecy. Mendi has come to accept punishment."

"Your error? What error do you have?" Agares asked.

"If not for my improper prophecy, failing to uncover the origin of the prophecy, the Moon Demon Witch would not have been negligent," Mendi said sincerely.

"There is no need for this. As the successor to the Star Demon God, you should naturally do your utmost to preserve yourself and use your ability of prophecy in more important arenas."

"It is just that this daughter of mine is truly worrisome. On the way there, not only did she fail to investigate clearly, but she ended up getting herself involved," Agares shook his head, then turned to look at the Star Demon God Vasak and asked: "Third Brother, can you prophesy the destination of this group?"

"Yulong Pass," Vasak was clearly well-prepared.

"Understood," Agares nodded and turned to look at the position of Moshenhuang Fengxiu.

He bowed and said: "Big Brother, I know my daughter brought this trouble upon herself, but she is, after all, my only daughter. I intend to personally go to Yulong Pass to welcome her back."

"Very well, go quickly and return quickly," Moshenhuang Fengxiu nodded, then frowned slightly and said: "I know you dote on her, but there must be a limit. A human-demon hybrid can never shoulder the heavy burden. You should have long ago found a Moon Demon Clan woman to reproduce, to ensure the purity of the bloodline for the next Moon Demon God."

Hearing this, a trace of unexpected resentment flashed in the depths of the Moon Demon God's eyes, but he still bowed resolutely and said: "I will strictly follow Big Brother's teachings."

Having said that, he rose and left.

Feng Xiu watched this scene, his eyes gradually turning cold:

"Second Brother, do you really think I, the Emperor, know nothing of everything you have done?"

"It is merely that I, the Emperor, wanted to give you such an opportunity."

"This upcoming seclusion, letting you oversee the entire Demon Race, is the opportunity I, the Emperor, am giving you. If you do not cherish it, then do not blame me, the Emperor."

"How could I not complain!"

"They promised to take good care of me for three days, but it really was just three meals a day, and then they just left me here alone for three days!"

Yue Ye was truly on the verge of a breakdown! Although she was a human-demon hybrid, she was still the offspring of the Moon Demon God; who in the Demon Race dared to bully her? From childhood to adulthood, hadn't she lived a life of luxury? Although she had suffered before, this was too bitter! And, it was boring to the extreme.

Three days, a full three days; except for the cute little girl who delivered the food, Yue Ye hadn't seen a single living person.

And that food deliverer didn't even intend to speak to her, not saying a single word.

Yue Ye was truly dumbfounded.

Are humans all this obedient to orders? Just then, she squinted slightly and looked out the window. In a place invisible to the naked eye, a moon-colored beam of light accompanied by pure aura was rushing toward her.

That was the return of Spiritual Power.

"It seems they have already started the encirclement?"

"I wonder who will end up using Father's Moon Demon God Origin," Yue Ye pondered. She was already thinking of ways to leave. In her view, the Moon Demon God's Origin was terrifying; if it were not used by the direct descendants of the Moon Demon God, whether it was Ye Ling or Long Xingyu, who was a Divine Seal Knight, both of them would suffer great damage to themselves once they used it.

Long Xingyu would be fine; perhaps it would just be a shock to his origin, requiring some time to recover, and he could rely on the Divine Seal Throne to block it.

Although the Divine Seal Throne was only an Artifact and could not compare to the Great Artifact of the Second Demon God Pillar, even face-to-face, it would not fall into a too terrifying disadvantage in the short term, let alone just a mere avatar.

As for Ye Ling, once he used it, he would surely die! Just as she was thinking about these things, the door on the side suddenly made a "creak, creak" sound. Yue Ye turned to look and could see that the person leading was none other than Ye Ling, with the well-behaved Long Lingxi following beside him.

"This little Knight ultimately didn't dare to use it himself; he must have let Long Xingyu use it. That's fine, this already belongs to the lowest cost."

"A little consumption of the origin is not enough to make them intend for me to die."

Yue Ye pondered in her heart and looked seriously at Ye Ling, intending to consider the next transaction. She could see that Long Xingyu would listen very seriously to this young man's opinions.

So as long as she could stabilize this young man, then no matter how angry Long Xingyu was, there would be a possibility of improvement.

Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Ye Ling, but it was fine if she didn't look, but once she did, it was truly extraordinary; she could sense the Moon Qi circling Ye Ling's body, which had the same miraculous effect as her own.

A bold guess suddenly appeared in her heart.

Before Ye Ling could speak, she spoke first: "That phantom of the Moon Demon God Pillar, was it used by you, or Long Xingyu?"

Ye Ling did not hide it: "It was me."

"Then you actually didn't die!" Yue Ye was astonished.

"Oh? You were quite hoping for me to die?" Ye Ling smiled playfully.

"Whether I hoped for it or not is one thing." Yue Ye also knew this topic shouldn't be continued: "But that is the phantom of a Great Artifact, how could you, a Third Rank Peak, possibly block it even if you are a genius? And successfully use its authority?"

"But I succeeded." Ye Ling smiled slightly: "There is no need for you to worry about that."

Yue Ye: "."

"Then, when can I leave?"

Ye Ling smiled: "You almost caused the entire Haoyue City, and even most of the cities in this border region, to be plunged into misery and suffering, and you still want to leave? Are you living in a dream?"

"Just wait here honestly. When we return to Yulong Pass, we will take you with us. Of course, don't think about escaping; after all, we are enemies to the end."

"You!" Yue Ye was furious. From childhood to now, she had never suffered such grievances. A layer of mist filled her eyes, making her look pitiful. Combined with her beautiful and holy face, she had a look that made one feel pity upon seeing her.

But unfortunately, Ye Ling knew the terror of this woman better than anyone. She had no faith, or rather, she had nothing she cherished, whether it was Human or Demon Race.

In her heart, whether it was the Demon Race or Humans, both could be abandoned at any time. Interests and strength were the most important things; this was her shortcoming, and also her strength.

At least Ye Ling chose not to attack her now because of this thought; she was an object that could be cooperated with.

However, because of this, Ye Ling would not trust her, at least not now. As of now, Ye Ling would rather trust that silly and sweet Leng Xiao; at least that girl didn't have so many useless schemes.

"We will discuss things when we see your father. Since you chose to come here to entangle yourself, and even did so many things that provoke the wrath of heaven and men, then once you fail, be prepared to be a prisoner, instead of lingering here too much."

Ye Ling answered indifferently and turned to leave with Long Lingxi.

Seeing Ye Ling leave, and also looking at the prison cell flickering with strange golden light, a look of ferocity appeared on Yue Ye's face.

"It seems that I really was negligent."

"However, this youth is indeed excellent, but I don't believe that you are truly as indifferent as you appear on the surface.

As long as a living being has self-awareness, they have their own weak point. As long as I can dig out this weak point of yours, then everything will be led by me!"

Speaking of this, a trace of pride and nobility appeared on Yue Ye's face. She looked at the position where Ye Ling left for a long time. As the number one genius of the Moon Demon Clan, she was very excellent, both in talent and wisdom.

But she could clearly see that Ye Ling's age was definitely younger than her own, yet his wisdom and strength were above hers!

And not just by a little! This was also the first time she had been convinced by someone of the same age, which gave rise to a competitive thought in her heart. This was a thought that even the successor to the Demon God Emperor, Crown Prince Abao, had never had.

"This is my first time losing, and it will also be the last."

"Next, I will also ruthlessly trample you under my feet!"

After leaving that small house and walking out, Long Lingxi turned her head several times with a worried expression. Her gaze was fixed on Yue Ye's position, her big eyes flashing with a trace of intolerance, but remembering everything she had experienced before, she still resolutely turned her head and did not look.

"Lingxi, what are you thinking about?" Ye Ling looked over.

"I am thinking, is the conflict between us Humans and the Demon Race really so irreconcilable?" Long Lingxi turned her head to look at Yue Ye's position and asked: "Meeting once, it is a fight to the death."

"Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself." Ye Ling replied, but then shook his head and said: "But it is not entirely so. If it is the Dual-Blade Demon and those low-rank Demon God races that only have the instinct to kill, and even take slaughtering humans as their goal, then they are the mortal enemies of humans."

"However, the Demon Race can actually get along relatively well with humans, especially those top-tier Demon Race, such as the Moon Demon or even the Star Demon. Apart from lifespan and abilities, all their habits are no different from humans.

If they chose to integrate into humanity, then who could tell they are Demon Race if they are of the same level?"

"Not to mention those even more miserable Human-Demon hybrids. Unless they have status and background, they are not even acknowledged by either the Human or Demon races."

The Yue Ye inside just now is exactly like that. She is very lucky to have talent, and her father is the Moon Demon God, but because of this, her personality is also more extremely selfish."

After saying this, Ye Ling did not continue to explain, but summarized: "However, this is not something we need to consider."

"If there are those Demon Race who have never harmed humans and do not have such intentions, we will not take action either. But if they are like that Wolf Demon God, harming our compatriots, regardless of whether it has started, once we know, we must strangle them."

"This is what we should do as Knights."

Hearing this, Long Lingxi nodded. A trace of sudden realization appeared on her young and cute face: "I understand, Senior Brother Ye Ling!"

Seeing this, Ye Ling laughed and reached out to rub little Lingxi's head, saying: "You little girl, it seems you were so obsessed with cultivation at the Haoyue Branch Hall that you didn't even understand the basic history of the Human-Demon conflict on the Shen Shengmo Dalu."

"I will have to give you some remedial lessons in a while."
