Chapter 159: The Ancient Legend of the Demon Race
Deep in the Devil's Cave, in a wide, dark chamber.
The surrounding walls are carved with gods and ghosts, and eight stone lamps are lit in the four corners, emitting a dim glow.
The roof is inlaid with many gemstones, shining with sparkling lights, as if they form some kind of formation map.
In addition to the cold and bloody atmosphere in the secret room, there is also a bit of mystery.
In the middle of the secret room, there is a pool of blood with a radius of more than ten meters.
The pool was filled with dark red blood, which was constantly surging and flowing under the urging of the power of the formation.
In the pool of blood stood a statue of a demon with black wings, four thick arms, and green fangs.
The power of the entire pool of blood continued to converge on the statue, causing the black statue to glow faintly with blood.
At this time, the Blood Moon Lord and the High Priest were standing at the edge of the blood pool, talking in a low voice.
The High Priest said in a cold tone, "Blood Moon County Lord, I have already gone to the soul prison cell to check just now. ”
"More than thirty soul chains have all been severed, and the thirty-nine souls we imprisoned there have all been rescued by the bastards of the Heavenly Sect!"
"Including that kid named Ji Ling, who was also rescued by the disciples of the Qingtian Sect. ”
The Blood Moon County Lord's blood-red eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent.
She frowned fiercely, gritted her teeth and cursed, "Damn Qingtian Sect disciple!
"That's the souls we've been searching for for nearly a hundred years, and most of them hold some clues and secrets. Especially Ji Ling's soul is related to the Optimus Sect's Sealing Array!"
"Before we could torture the news of the sealing array, Ji Ling's soul was saved!"
"Damn! Damn! If the county lord catches them again, he will definitely refine them into blood and water, and his soul will be imprisoned forever!"
The more the Blood Moon County Lord spoke, the more angry he became, his angry body trembled, and he subconsciously waved his palm and slapped the blood pool under his feet.
"Bang!"
In the muffled sound, a huge wave more than three meters high rolled up in the blood pool, and countless dark red blood droplets burst out.
The High Priest frowned, and hurriedly crossed his hands over his chest and made a strange salute to the statue in the pool of blood.
At the same time as he prostrated his prayer, he prayed two verses that seemed to be some kind of scripture or incantation.
After praying, he stared at the Blood Moon County Lord, and said in a solemn tone: "Your Royal Highness, please restrain your anger and don't be disrespectful to the Demon Emperor's idol!"
The Blood Moon County Lord was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a look of shame and self-blame on his face.
She also crossed her hands to cover her chest, saluted to the statue of the Demon Emperor in the pool of blood, prayed incantations in her mouth, and confessed her sins again and again.
After a while, after the Blood Moon County Lord finished praying, he said to the High Priest in a deep voice: "High Priest, I will personally lead a team of warriors to infiltrate the Heavenly Sect again and take Ji Ling's soul back!"
"Only by torturing the secret of the sealing array can we rescue His Majesty the Demon Emperor as soon as possible!"
The High Priest shook his head and categorically rejected her idea.
"Your Highness the County Lord, the Qingtian Sect is already vigilant and will definitely strengthen its precautions. If you infiltrate the Heavenly Sect with your warriors, you will only die in vain!"
"What's more, we have more urgent things to do! Investigating the news of the Heavenly Star Bead is far more important than investigating the Seal Array!"
The Blood Moon County Lord frowned, a look of doubt in his eyes.
"Now investigate the news of the Heavenly Star Beads, how to investigate?"
"All the souls in the soul prison have been rescued, and it is impossible for us to find clues quickly. ”
The high priest showed a smile and said in a playful tone, "Yesterday evening, didn't you capture a disciple of the Optimus Sect?"
The Blood Moon County Lord frowned, and said with contempt in his eyes: "That Terran boy, his strength is unspeakably weak, he is not yet twenty years old, how can he know the news of the Heavenly Star Bead?"
The High Priest sneered twice and asked, "Blood Moon County Lord, you shouldn't have forgotten the scene when we first met that kid when we just infiltrated the Optimus Sect a few days ago?"
"Although he is weak and weak, like an ant, a mysterious black hole suddenly appeared next to him, sucking away sixty percent of your strength!"
At the mention of this matter, the Blood Moon County Lord's face was a little unnatural, and his eyes swelled with shame and indignation.
"Hmph, that damn bastard kid, there must be some secret treasure protector. ”
"Otherwise, with his strength, he would have been slapped into meat sauce by me a long time ago!"
The High Priest smiled and said, "You're right, he does have a secret treasure on him. ”
"When I rescued you, I sensed a mysterious and ancient aura in that black hole!"
"According to the information left by His Majesty the Demon Emperor back then, that mysterious aura is very similar to the Heavenly Star Bead!"
The Blood Moon County Lord frowned with some confusion, "How can that kid have the breath of the Heavenly Star Bead on his body?"
The high priest said calmly, "We won't know until we investigate that kid!"
"Although he is weak, he may have something to do with the Celestial Star Bead. If he can be used by us, we will have a chance to find the Celestial Star Orb!"
"As long as we find the Heavenly Star Bead, we can find the Sword God Tomb, and our clan will be able to revive and rise again, and be even more prosperous than a thousand years ago!"
"When the time comes, let alone just one Tianchen Domain, our clan will definitely be able to control the entire continent!"
The High Priest fantasized as he spoke, his emotions becoming more and more agitated, his tone becoming more and more high-pitched, and his eyes gleaming with a thick essence.
The Blood Moon County Lord frowned, becoming more and more puzzled.
"High Priest, we just need to break the sealing array of the Heavenly Sect and rescue His Majesty the Demon Emperor. ”
"When the time comes, as long as we use the Heavenly Star Bead to help His Majesty the Demon Emperor recover, our clan will be able to take revenge and easily control the Tianchen Domain. ”
"Isn't this what we've been working for, why should we go to find the Sword God Tomb?"
"What does the Sword God Tomb have to do with the revival and rise of our race?"
The High Priest gave her a deep look and chuckled, "Hehe, Your Highness, you are still too young and know very little. ”
"It seems that the Demon King has never told you about that ancient legend of our clan. ”
"What ancient legend?" the Blood Moon County Lord stared at the High Priest with his eyes, his heart full of doubts and a little ashamed.
The attitude of the high priest made her feel that her dignity and status were provoked and despised.
"That legend has been passed down thousands of years ago. ”
The High Priest stared at the Demon Emperor Statue in the pool of blood, his eyes showing the color of memory, and he spoke slowly in a low voice.
"Blood Moon County Lord, you should know very well that the physique of our race is different from that of the human race, and the body structure is also inherently different. ”
"The human race is born with a dantian, but our demon race does not have a dantian, only meridians and a powerful body. ”
"We can't cultivate the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth like the Terrans, we can only cultivate the Blood Demon Dao, the Shura Dao, and the Corpse Demon Dao...... and so on. ”
"It is precisely because of this that all the races in the world regard our demon race as the most ferocious and vicious race, and they are eager to drive us out. ”
"However, this is not the original intention of our ancestors, this is destined by God, and our clan is also forced to be helpless!"
"We practice all kinds of evil secret methods, although we can quickly increase our strength, but there are drawbacks that cannot be eliminated, which cause great harm to ourselves. ”
"The stronger the people of our clan, the more intense the pain they endure while cultivating. The body will also undergo all kinds of changes, and eventually it will become a strange-looking, hideous and vicious monster!"
