The pear tree on the wall is snowy and delicate

Chapter 344: The Demonic World is a Tangled Conflict

Yinghuan glanced at the tall human man beside her all the way, feeling resentful in her heart.

The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he was not very good-looking, he was tall and straight, and full of heroic spirit, which made Huanhuan's heart flutter - this was the kind of man she liked most. After having fun with him, she would eat his soul, which would be so delicious.

But Lingxiang, that damned girl, said that this person was hers, and asked Yinghuan to take good care of him! When Yinghuan thought of this, she was furious.

Two years ago, Lingxiang brought back a little demon child from outside, saying that he was a new disciple.

But Xiulan had no idea what Lingxiang saw in him. No matter how she looked at him, he was just a demon of low aptitude. He didn't even have a demon body that an ordinary demon should have.

Fortunately, Lingxiang didn't ask Yuhuan to worry too much, and only said that she would take care of her daily life. Yuhuan was too lazy to miss a job - just serving Lingxiang was enough to exhaust her.

When it comes to errands, Huanhuan is even more furious.

Today, Lingxiang had a sudden idea and said she wanted to go to the market to buy some things. But when she got to the market, she went to the teahouse to have tea. He only gave her a note and asked her to go buy it.

The note clearly showed some children's toys, but she, a general from the demon world, was asked to buy them! How absurd!
However, some of the strange medicinal ingredients took some time for Yinghuan to find, and she went to several pharmacies to buy them. As for the "Beside of Chongchuan", she had to go to Chongchuan herself to pick it.

The Mushi River is a river in the underworld that originates from the Jinji Mountain, stretches for two thousand miles, and finally flows into the Wangchuan River.

At the source of the Insect River, dark plants flourish, but there are also dark insects everywhere, which is extremely dangerous.

Ghost insects are a general term for insects in the underworld. They feed on the air of the underworld and live in darkness.

Among them is a kind of ghost insect named Qingyou. It looks like a maggot, cries like a baby, is the size of a child, has three tentacles, and loves to eat living souls.

The living soul is the soul of a living person.

Every time when the gates of hell open wide during the Ghost Festival, there are many living people who will mistakenly enter the ghost realm. If they are unlucky and no one is there to rescue them, and they are not discovered by the ghost catcher, they will get lost in the underworld, and some of them will become Qingyou's food.

Of course, these so-called dangers are not worth mentioning to Huanhuan.

Yinghuan was originally born into the demon clan, and her demon body was a Scorpio woman. Most of these snakes, insects, rats and ants were afraid of her and would hide away before she could get close to them.

Therefore, picking medicinal herbs was not a difficult task for Xiulan, but the herbs on the other side of the Insect River were extremely rare, so it took a lot of effort to find them.

I don’t know what that damn girl wants to do with this weird thing. She is just leisurely drinking tea in the city, making me run around!
Yunhuan glared at Lingxiang viciously, but Lingxiang looked worried. Yunhuan became suspicious, but since Bo Luohui was beside her, she couldn't investigate further and had to give up.

This damn girl is always trying to make trouble for me in various ways. It's really better to keep out of trouble. If you can avoid provoking her, then don't provoke her. Just let her go. It would be better if she dies!
Yinhuan has also been frightened by Lingxiang over the years. She is afraid that if she sees Lingxiang's eyes rolling, she will be in trouble.

The reason why Lingxiang was absent-minded was that she was thinking about what happened in the teahouse just now.

The reason why Lingxiang came to the market was because she accepted Wuminjun's invitation, but Wuminjun hinted in advance that this meeting should not be made public. However, Lingxiang was worried about leaving Yinghuan idle, so she deliberately found those things to make things difficult for her.

There were so many things that shocked Lingxiang today. Just take Wu Minjun's face for example, it was enough for her to recover for a while.

This was the first time Lingxiang saw such a face...

No! To be precise, it was a head that was still intact despite being so severely injured.

The face, which should have been complete, was split into two halves from the top of the skull to the neck. In the gap, faint threads could be seen connecting it.

That is……

It's spiritual silk!
How could the demons have spiritual silk?
Fortunately, Wu Min Jun did not let Lingxiang wait any longer and told her the whole story.

Lord Wu Min originally had the surname Zi, but after the turmoil among the demon clan many years ago, his surname was taken away from him.

The surname Zi is not common, and it is not an ordinary surname. It was given by Emperor Shun and later became the surname of King Tang.

After hearing this, Lingxiang combined it with the scrolls she had read in the Demon Realm over the years and guessed the identity of Lord Wu Min. What Lord Wu Min said next indeed confirmed her guess.

The order and rules of the demon world were inherited from the first generation of the demon king, which was understandable, but the previous demon king went beyond that, not only requiring the people to follow the magic way, but also requiring each household to offer a soul every month for him to absorb and enjoy. This greatly disrupted the balance of the six paths of reincarnation.

How the Creator Demon Lord created the demon race will not be discussed here for now, but for thousands of years, the demon world has been parasitic on the underworld, keeping a low profile, and in the long run, it has maintained a delicate balance with the other three realms. However, if the underworld and the heaven find out about this, the demon world will inevitably suffer a conquest.

Moreover, the previous Demon Lord also stipulated that if each household could not make an offering every month, one person would be required to be provided from the family for the demon to inhale.

Although they were all from the demon world, not all of them were good at fighting and brave, and not all of them were brutal and cruel, so many demons died under these regulations at that time.

During the days when the former Demon Lord was in power, the number of demons dropped sharply, and the prosperity that had been achieved with great difficulty was beginning to decline wherever he looked.

At that time, there was a man, whom the world called Nanshan Jun. He was the nephew of the previous Demon Lord and his name was Ci Yan.

Nanshan Jun could not bear to see the demon world suffer so much and feared that there would be turmoil in the future, so he joined forces with some generals and ministers to launch a mutiny, killed the previous demon lord, and seized the demon world's court.

After a great war, Nanshan Jun, who had the bloodline of the Creator Demon Lord, was naturally pushed to the throne. However, at that time there were still many people who criticized Nanshan Jun for his illegal acquisition of the position of Demon Lord.

After all, the previous Demon Lord had a descendant, who is the current Demon Lord - Zi Boyan.

Zi Boyan was still young at that time and had never participated in court disputes or built up power, but as the only son of the previous Demon Lord, he was a legitimate heir.

Moreover, although many generals and ministers at that time spoke orthodox words, their secret thoughts were to control the young prince, use the emperor to control the princes in the future, and become the one who controls the demon world behind the scenes.

After all, if we really go by the history of demons, who isn’t a descendant of the Demon Lord who created the world?
Nanshan Jun had not initially thought of taking action against his cousin, but as opposition grew in the court, for the sake of the stability of the demon world, he had no choice but to issue a secret order to assassinate Zi Boyan.

At that time, Taifu Dingyuanhou received the letter and could not bear to see Zi Boyan become a discarded child in the court, so he quietly released him out of the city.

Although Bo Yan escaped, those generals and ministers were unwilling to miss this opportunity and sent out their own forces to track down the prince.

The generals and ministers with evil intentions continued to take actions, and Nanshan Jun became increasingly uneasy. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, he secretly sent several teams of troops to hunt down and kill Zi Boyan.

Among them was Lord Wu Min.

"So when Demon Lord Boyan gained power, he used this to punish you?"

Lingxiang frowned, but felt something was wrong.

As Lord Wumin said, the two should be enemies. Given the character of Demon Lord Boyan, how could he be left alive?

Lingxiang would never believe that the Demon Lord was a kind-hearted person.

Wu Minjun shook his head and sighed, "I did catch him, but I let him go."

"You let him go!?"

Could it be that this injury was caused by Nanshan Jun?
Wu Minjun guessed what she was thinking, but he shook his head again.

"Your words are my father, and he has not blamed me."

what? !

When Lingxiang heard this, her eyes almost popped out of her head in shock.

This……
