Chapter 580: Chapter 543: Xuanting Cave Mansion
Baili An did not hide anything about the various items recorded on the document.
Malevolent Spirits brought chaos, lurking and ready to strike, the Resentful Demons sacrificed demon benefits in their rituals, the Jiaolong Demon Kings were restless, and the Nine Snake Clan had completely rebelled.
After hearing this, Ning Feiyan pondered and said, “The Demon World is filled with intense resentment, and constant wars and killings have been a headache for generations of Demon Lords.
The Malevolent Spirits are inexhaustible, but with His Majesty’s current skills and abilities, although these spirits are troublesome, they can hardly shake the foundation of the Demon World.”
“The Jiaolong Clan and the Nine Snake Clan have rebelled, and others may not know, but I am aware that these two clans have always had a close relationship with Mi Lu.
The Demon Lord had been absent for over a thousand years, the Young Lord was sealed in the Demon Cave, and they did not act leaderless, but chose to rebel precisely when the Demon Lord returned for the Monarch’s Return Banquet, obviously aiming to create pressure for this event.”
“As for the Resentful Demons sacrificing demon benefits…” Ning Feiyan’s eyes slightly shifted, and she chuckled, “This is interesting. The demon benefits are known for slaying gods and demons, and only the Resentful Demon Clan can refine them. However, the cost is huge, it seems that the Resentful Demon Clan has spent a fortune.”
Her gaze shifted lightly and she looked at Baili An with a playful smile, “You’re so clever, why don’t you guess for whom these demon benefits are prepared?”
All of these acts, were clearly aimed at that solitary throne of the Demon Lord.
The Female Demon Lord, who had endured excruciating torture in the lands of fierce flames and extreme cold without dying after being dismembered for years, was not only a nightmare for the righteous Immortal Sect.
For those in the Demon World with ulterior motives, it was naturally the same.
To kill her, one would need extraordinary means.
These demon benefits were probably prepared for her.
Baili An did not answer Ning Feiyan’s question; instead, he looked up and asked, “How much does the Demon Clan know about the Evil Disaster Beast?”
Ning Feiyan replied, “There are Nine Gates in the world, and the Evil Disaster Beast is a creation of the combined forces of the Nine Gates, once known in ancient times as the Evil God. The knowledge of the Nine Gates and the Disaster Beast is scarce, even among the Upper Demon Clan.
The old Demon Lord had some dealings with it, but if you are truly interested in this creature, I am not incapable of knocking some information out of Mi Lu for you.”
Baili An straightforwardly asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Smart.” Ning Feiyan spread her robe and sat unabashedly on the Lord’s bed, pulling Baili An into her arms.
Her slender, soft fingers slipped through the fur on his neck and lifted a Hook Jade.
She chuckled softly, “The Demon Lord has always been domineering, never allowing anyone else to touch what she fancies. The Jade Token I gave you was smashed by her, so she replaced it with a better gem, and now the most important key of the Tingshan Mansion just happens to hang on you.”
“Tingshan Mansion? What is that?”
“The Tingshan Mansion is the greatest secret place of our Demon Clan, where the secrets of generations of Demon Lords are hidden.
Two days from now, His Majesty will enter the Tingshan Mansion once, and I need you to come and find me with this key two days later.”
Baili An frowned, “You want to enter Tingshan Mansion?”
Ning Feiyan nodded and said, “Two days later, His Majesty will go to Lanzhou’s ninth division to repair the Barrier and suppress the Malevolent Spirits. Lanzhou’s Malevolent Spirits are dangerous, so naturally, she can’t bring you with her.
I will create the illusion of the Nine Snake Clan’s demons infiltrating the Netherworld Palace to injure and take you away. She treasures you so much, she will definitely go to the Nine Snake’s territory to find you.
Two days later, I will restore your cultivation and send you out of the city. You protect yourself among the Nine Snake Tribe and help me delay her for three days.”
Ning Feiyan was aware of the Demon Lord’s background; she was once a forsaken demon with an inherently defective Demon Heart and crippled wings, yet she awakened her Demon Essence as a child.
During the turmoil of Qiongqi, she became famous after one battle, and was highly favored by the old Demon Lord, becoming the first forsaken demon to leave the Wasteland City on her own strength.
Qiongqi was the most poisonous Ferocious Beast in the world, yet she knew that Tongyou Grass could neutralize its poison.
How did she come to know the whereabouts of the Calamity Beast’s notable clan?
Ever since the old Demon Lord took her back to Ming Continent, she had always been a step ahead. The battle between the old Demon Lord and Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan, and his mysterious defeat was bewildering.
Ning Feiyan believed that the Demon Lord definitely harbored an astonishing secret.
Baili An felt that Ning Feiyan truly had immense gall to dare carry out such a monumental act of treason under the Demon Lord’s watch.
“Even if you restore all of my cultivation, this is still the territory of your Demon Clan, the Nine Snake Clan is right in the midst of a rebellion, I’m barely able to protect myself, let alone ensure that I can successfully delay her for three days.”
Ning Feiyan squinted, smiling, “Young Master Si is really modest. In the Bronze Gate, an absolute perilous place, you were able to come and go freely, even the Great Serpent couldn’t end your life, what can the mere Nine Snake Clan possibly do to you?”
Baili An said, “Today I have already given you enough information.”
Ning Feiyan wore a look as if she had him completely figured out, “The secrets of generations of Demon Lords are all in the Tingshan Mansion, aren’t you curious about what the recorded Calamity Beast looks like?”
Baili An fell silent.
Ning Feiyan gently lured him, smiling, “That day inside the Bronze Gate, I saw the young lady from Shifang City slay a dragon with a sword, looking imposing. She’s only sixteen this year but could kill a Great Serpent, very impressive indeed. However impressive, historically, those who have used Taboo powers have rarely ended well.”
“In the great exam of Xianling City, as Ms. Fang’s Guest Elder Cultivator, you topped the leaderboard, yet she inexplicably gave up the position of City Lord of Xianling City and hurriedly returned to Shifang City day and night. What do you think that was for?”
