Chapter 148: The Tip of the Iceberg

Yinyue said that the twelve golden people are hidden in the demon world, and they are guarded by the twelve ancestral demons, but the place where the golden people are hiding is only known to the guardian ancestral demons.

But those vines are obviously not to be feared, the real guardian should be the monsters who drive and control these vines, and the Great Wilderness Sea is a place where monsters are feared, even the twelve ancestral demons are also taboo about this place, after all, there is no demonic energy here for the survival of the demon clan, so this has become the best place to hide the golden people.

But the only one who can come here is Ping Lian, I remember Yinyue told me that although Ping Lian is one of the twelve ancestral demons, her demon magic is not even the ability to attack, but only used to irrigate and protect the sacred tree, so she has the demonic power to drive plants.

I think what Yinyue said is right, this isolated island in the great wilderness should be barren at first, but Ping Lian and Shenmu coexist, she itself contains an endless stream of demonic energy, this isolated island is reborn under the demonic energy she exudes, presumably this is also the reason why the Ten Witches of Lingshan banished Ping Lian here, as long as Ping Lian is still in the demon world, the purpose of the Ten Witches of Lingshan to weaken the demonic energy is difficult to achieve.

Thinking of this, I took out the white tail hair that Silver Moon gave me and presented it to the woman.

"Silver Moon?!" Ping Lian really recognized it at once, and asked happily. "Silver Moon has returned to the Demon Realm?"

I nodded and told her everything we had been through, and then spoke earnestly.

"Now that the Demon Emperor has also returned to the Demon Realm, if you want to set things right, you must let the Demon Emperor come into the world, so we must find the twelve golden people, but now the Ten Witches of Lingshan have become the minions of the Demon Emperor, and they have gathered a large army to attack the countries of the Demon Realm at any time, once the Golden People fall into the hands of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, the consequences are unimaginable."

"The Emperor of the Underworld doesn't have to worry about this, the Ten Witches of Lingshan have not obtained the Jin Man so far, and they will never know the whereabouts of the Jin Man." Ping Lian replied in the affirmative.

"As far as we know, the twelve golden people are cast by the one-eye demon clan, but in the end, it is the ten witches of Lingshan who are placed, and it stands to reason that the ten witches of Lingshan should know the whereabouts of the golden people." I said to Ping Lian worriedly. "Why are you so sure they can't find the Golden Man?"

Ping Lian waved her hand, and the vines around me suddenly sank into the grass and trees, and she slowly walked to my side and said calmly.

"The Ten Witches of Lingshan did place twelve golden people in the end, but not all wizards participated, and only Wu Xian, the lord of Lingshan Country, really knew the whereabouts of the golden people."

After listening to this, I reacted, and the demon fox who escaped back from the wound also found out that the whereabouts of the Jin people were related to Wu Xian in Lingshan.

"Now that Wu Xian is locked at the bottom of the black abyss in the center of the Wu Kingdom by the Ten Witches of Lingshan, presumably the Ten Witches of Lingshan are eager to learn the whereabouts of the Jin people from his mouth, in case Wu Xian reveals it......"

"Impossible!" Ping Lian cut the iron to interrupt me, and said in the affirmative. "Wu Xian knows the importance of the twelve golden people, and he won't reveal half a word even if he dies."

I was somewhat relieved to hear Ping Lian say this, and hurriedly said to her.

"Yinyue asked me to come to the Great Wilderness to find you, just let me tell Yinyue that Yinyue has learned of the plan of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and now is gathering the forces of the demon clan east of the Demon Realm, preparing to fight to the death with the Ten Witches of Lingshan, but now the demonic spirit is getting weaker and weaker, I am afraid that it is difficult to be the opponent of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, if this battle is lost, there will be no ability to resist the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and then the army of the Ten Witches of Lingshan will be able to drive straight into the Demon Realm to encroach on the demon world in the near future."

"There is Emperor Lao Ming to help me tell Yinyue, Ping Lian is also involuntary here, Ping Lian knows that Shenmu is related to the life and death of all races in the demon world, but Ping Lian can't leave the Great Wilderness Sea now." Ping Lian said to me with a sad expression and a helpless voice.

"Not going back? How can you not go back, if you are not in the demon realm, how can the demon clan that has withered and lost its demonic energy fight against the ten witches of Lingshan. I asked, surprised.

"I coexist with the Divine Tree, the Ten Witches of Lingshan can't help me, and now they also need to rely on the Divine Wood to survive, it's not that Ping Lian is greedy for life and afraid of dying in this great wilderness and steals his life, Ping Lian knows that he has the trust of the Demon Emperor." Ping Lian lowered his head and said in a low voice. "It's just that if I leave this place, the Ten Witches of Lingshan will immediately execute Wu Xian."

"You ......," I said solemnly, looking at Ping Lian with some anxiety. Wu Xian is well aware of the importance of the twelve golden people, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring and unwilling to join the ten witches of Lingshan, you are unwilling to leave the great wilderness for him, you know that once the ten witches of Lingshan no longer rely on the divine tree, they will never leave Wu Xian, and even the divine tree that all the demon clans in the demon world rely on for survival will be destroyed. ”

"Yes." Ping Lian nodded and said calmly.

"Since you know why you are still sitting idly by, the Demon Emperor has named you the Twelve Ancestral Demons and let you shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the Divine Tree, and now that you are far away from the Demon Realm, you can know that the Demon Realm is in danger." I asked with an accent.

Ping Lian slowly raised her head with guilt on her face, but what she saw in her eyes was still unshakable persistence, and she hesitated for a long time or whispered to me the reason why she refused to leave the Great Wilderness.

Ping Lian is a spirit demon but after all, a woman, a monster and a person have the same feelings, after the catastrophe of gods and demons, Wu Xian did not hesitate to run around to save the demon clans, because of the divine wood, the rain master country grew a lot of precious medicinal materials, Wu Xian went to the rain master country many times to collect medicine, Ping Lian and Wu Xian got along for a long time.

However, Wu Xian is the great wizard of Lingshan, and he cannot intermarry with foreign clans, this is the rule of the Lingshan Demon Clan, for which Wu Xian is willing to give up the position of the lord of the country, which means that he no longer belongs to the Lingshan Demon Clan, and the Ten Witches of Lingshan vigorously stop Wu Xian's idea has been decided, and Ping Lian is also willing to give up all the demon power to pass on to the next rain master, and Wu Xian is home in the demon world.

But according to the regulations of the Lingshan Kingdom, the great wizard must marry the witch of his own clan, and Wu Xian's move is undoubtedly a traitor in the eyes of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, but Wu Xian is willing to give up everything and even dissociate himself from the Wu clan.

"We originally met in the Rain Master Country, but one day Wu Xian suddenly came to see me and told him that he seemed to have discovered the secret of the Ten Witches of Lingshan behind his back." Ping Lian said to me with a solemn expression. "The Ten Witches of Lingshan have asked the Ichimoku Demon Clan to cast nine great tripods in the name of Wu Xian, the lord of Lingshan Country, a long time ago."

"Yinyue and I have learned about this from the mouth of the elders of the Ichimoku Kingdom, it is a conspiracy of the Ten Witches of Lingshan to open the entrance to the Demon Realm, and the Ichimoku Demon Clan was deceived into using the power of ten thousand demons in the Sea of Annihilation, causing the entrance to the Demon Realm to be opened." I nodded and said to her in great detail. "Because of this, the Demon Emperor finally has the opportunity to invade the Demon Realm."

"No!" Ping Lian shook his head and said to me solemnly. "Wu Xian told me that things are not so simple, it seems that there is a deeper conspiracy in the whole thing, but Wu Xian has never known the motives and purposes of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, he asked me to wait for him in the Rain Master Country, he wants to find out the real ins and outs."

"There's a deeper conspiracy?!" I looked at Ping Lian in amazement for a long time and didn't react, the Demon Emperor was defeated in the God and Demon Tribulation, and was sealed at the bottom of the underworld, the Demon Emperor has been ready to break the seal and make a comeback, we have always thought that this is the beginning and end of everything and the result, but listening to Ping Lian's memories Wu Xian seems to have found other things, but I really can't think of any bigger conspiracy than this except that the Demon Emperor wants to break through the seal and kill the Quartet.

"I don't know, but Wu Xian said that he wanted to go with me to the bottom of the underworld to seal the Demon Emperor and the demon army under his command to see." Ping Lian said with a calm face. "For this reason, Wu Xian also plans to find the golden man who hid the Hades Emperor Flag, and reforge the Hades Emperor Banner to open the underworld."

"Go to the underworld?" I asked again in confusion. "What does Wu Xian want to see at the bottom of the underworld?"

He said...... "Ping Lian's expression became a little grim, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke." He said that he wanted to see if the Demon Emperor who was sealed at the bottom of the underworld was still there. ”

"......" I immediately looked at Ping Lian dumbfounded, her words shocked me, everything we have done so far is to prevent the Demon Emperor from breaking the seal and being summoned again, Wu Xian told Ping Lian that there seemed to be other reasons implied in his words, I hurriedly and eagerly asked. That...... So what happened later, did Wu Xian find out anything? ”

"No, not long after Wu Xian left the Rain Master Country and returned to Lingshan, I lost contact with him, and when I got the news again, he was controlled by the Ten Witches of Lingshan and locked at the bottom of the black abyss, presumably Wu Xian was discovered when he was exploring the Ten Witches of Lingshan." Ping Lian shook his head and said regretfully. "It was from that time that the Ten Witches of Lingshan began to invade the surrounding demon clans on a large scale, until they captured the Rain Master Country, and the Ten Witches of Lingshan knew that the Shenmu was very important to the Demon World, so they coerced me to come to this great wilderness with the life and death of Wu Xian."

Let's see if the Demon Emperor who was sealed at the bottom of the underworld is still there......

I repeated in my heart the words that Wu Xian told Ping Lian at the end, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the Demon Emperor to break through the barrier between me and the Demon Fox with the Sealing God Map, and everything we encounter seems to point to the Demon Emperor trying to lift this seal.

But what does Wu Xian mean by this?

He seems to be questioning whether the sealed Demon Emperor army is still at the bottom of the netherworld, I don't know what secrets Wu Xian discovered about the Ten Witches of Lingshan, but presumably this secret is much more known to us at present, maybe what we know is just the tip of the iceberg, so that the Ten Witches of Lingshan do not hesitate to work together to control Wu Xian.

"There is Emperor Lao Ming to tell Yinyue, Ping Lian has the trust of the Demon Emperor, but for the safety of Wu Xian, Ping Lian can't leave the Great Wilderness Sea, unless I see Wu Xian standing in front of me safe and sound, otherwise Ping Lian can only be exiled here." Ping Lian said to me guiltily in his voice. "The twelve golden people are very important, Ping Lian hid the golden people he guarded here, and now the bronze fragments inside are handed over to the Emperor of Hades, and there is only so much Ping Lian can do."
