Unexpectedly, such an alien master who could threaten a marshal-level figure would be so servile. Lin Yuan was not a murderous warmonger, and she also felt that the strong should be given due respect. She chose to go to the Mingyuan River Fortress alone.

After passing through the gate of the You Clan called "Rashomon", Lin Yuan seemed to be in a world isolated from the outside world. There was a sad silence all around, and the air was filled with the smell of wailing wronged souls. However, the most shocking thing was the intoxicating substantial darkness in front of him.

The darkness here is not just an invisible breath, but presents various strange forms - liquid, solid and even gaseous. It is like flowing ink, and also like solidified darkness, so thick that it is suffocating. Lin Yuan was amazed. He never thought that in the territory of the You Clan, the magic power he cultivated could be so prosperous.

This dark element has gone beyond the scope of breath, and it exists in various forms. Some form bottomless lakes, as black as ink; some condense into hard crystals, flashing mysterious light; and some float in the air like clouds, within reach. And these dark elements are not only a source of power for the You people, but also a part of their lives. They take them as drinks and food, taking them at will, enjoying the nourishment brought by this endless darkness at any time.

A strong desire surged in Lin Yuan's heart. He wanted to explore this mysterious world and gain a deeper understanding of this powerful dark force. Perhaps, here, he could find a way to improve his magic power and solve the mystery of cultivation that had troubled him for a long time. So, he took a step forward and stepped into the You Clan's territory full of unknowns and challenges.

Lin Yuan couldn't believe her eyes. She looked at Mo Qili in surprise. The other person's face was emotionless and she said lightly:

"Throw yourself into the netherworld, and you will enjoy the darkness of the world!"

Lin Yuan swallowed hard and asked, "Do you want to extend an olive branch to me?"

Mei Qili did not mince words and said bluntly: "If you want, we welcome you anytime. We have studied the history of the demon world. Was there a "Demon Lord of Dark Flame" a few hundred years ago?"

Lin Yuan said without hesitation: "So what?"

Mo Qili pinched her hand casually, and a ball of purple-black flame condensed in the palm of her hand and gradually formed a lotus shape.

"You can rival his power if you want."

"What…Are you kidding me?"

Lin Yuan didn't know at that time that what Mo Qili casually transformed was no different from Ying Li's "Nether Flame Art", except for a little difference in the degree of heat.

There was no need for Mo Qili to prove anything to Lin Yuan. She casually threw away the fire lotus and immersed it in a pool of dark stagnant water, instantly evaporating the canal. However, the state it presented was as if it was sucked into a vortex.

As Lin Yuan hurriedly passed by every defensive fortification of the You clan, his eyes carefully scanned every detail.

These fortifications are strong and sophisticated, and were obviously carefully designed and built.

Then, she came to a number of military bases, and looking at the neatly arranged and well-equipped soldiers, she couldn't help but feel awe in her heart.

Then, she visited every factory used for resource mining, witnessed the workers' busy and orderly work scenes, and gained a deeper understanding of the You people's industrial level.

Finally, there is a camp used to treat the wounded and accommodate refugees, where one can feel the kindness and solidarity of the You people.

Apart from the different shapes, everything here is the same in configuration and function as the Demon Realm.

Lin Yuan seemed to see the figures of the demons in the past, those brave and fearless warriors, those hardworking and wise craftsmen, and those loving medical staff...

This reminded her of the former Demon Empire, the once prosperous dark kingdom.

Today, the demon world has fallen into chaos, but the You clan has established such a powerful force here.

Their architectural design and aesthetic style are really similar to those of the demons, or perhaps it should be said... like those of ghosts?

"By the way, do you know that there was something called "Devil's Heart" in our demon world?" Lin Yuan suddenly had an idea and asked.

"Of course, because we have one too, and more than one. We of the You Clan prefer to call it the 'Soul Furnace'."

"What? Can you elaborate?"

Lin Yuan was extremely shocked. She didn't dare to think about her ears, but there was no need for Mei Qili to lie.

However, Mo Qili did not answer the question as usual. The people of the You tribe also have their own emotions and selfish desires, and the two armies are still in a state of hostility.

Lin Yuan also realized this and said, "It's okay if you don't want to answer me, but can I know some information about the "Heart of the Devil" or your "Soul Furnace"? Just treat it as a popular science."

Mo Qili thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but... you need to exchange it with something of equivalent value!"

"equivalence……"

"I don't need you to give me anything. I just want a confidentiality agreement."

A ball of red light appeared in the hand of Mo Qili, and immediately there was boiling blood, giving people the feeling that it was a bit like the "blood contract" used by the demon world to bind the two parties who made an oath.

"This is the same name in both our worlds, and it has the same function - 'Blood Contract'. I need you not to tell anyone about this. If others ask you, just say that this is an unknown area that is difficult for the demon world to reach."

Lin Yuan frowned and tried to bargain:

"But the purpose of my coming here is to know what is here. Besides, I am the commander of an army. If I can't bring back any useful information, then what is the point of my coming here?"

Mo Qili seemed to be thinking about Lin Yuan's problem. The light of the blood ball in her hand dimmed by half, and she said immediately:

"How about this? You can tell others, but... it must be someone whose dark element cultivation attainments are comparable to the "Demon Lord of Dark Flame", or even surpass you."

Lin Yuan's expression looked a little better. It was difficult to rival the Dark Flame Demon Lord, but it was not impossible to surpass herself. However, she was still very curious about the purpose of doing so.

Mei Qili explained: "Our situation is actually very bad. I don't want to cause any trouble. Only those who are in the darkness and understand the darkness can help us and promote our development and yours."

Lin Yuan was still very confused at the time, but at least it was better than letting these secrets die in her heart. She quickly agreed and accepted the "blood contract" that bound both parties.

Afterwards, Mo Qili began to fulfill her promise and first took Lin Yuan to the library in the fortress.

This place is not as good as the large library of their own clan, or even as good as the library of any country in the Demon Realm, but it also contains a lot of knowledge and information that Lin Yuan wants to know.

She learned that the "Devil's Heart" did not originally belong to the demon world, but originated from a place called "Distortion Void", but there was no additional annotation in the document, only its name was mentioned, and its appearance was not explained.

Just after a while, a sentence caught people's attention, which roughly meant: the aggressive war launched by the Weilanti tribe in the virtual world against various worlds was actually reasonable from some perspectives!

Afterwards, Lin Yuan read a lot of strategy guides and secrets about priests and the advanced profession Void Walker. Although the professions of the You Clan were very different from those in the Demon Realm, there were still many constructive breakthroughs, which helped her avoid many detours in her future practice.

Her current cultivation level of the eighth level of Ghost King Realm and her reputation as the number one Void Walker in the entire demon world are closely related to her studying in the You Clan's library for a few days.

After Lin Yuan felt comfortable soaking in the ocean of knowledge, Mo Qili led Lin Yuan to visit the "Soul Furnace". It was indeed no different from the "Heart of Devil". The tone of the "Soul Furnace" was darker and colder, and it was covered with strange patterns that did not belong to the demon world.

In this place where the "Dark Source" was most abundant, Lin Yuan broke through the bottleneck of the sixth level of the Ghost King Realm in just three days, and even comprehended a series of powerful magic skills.

After coming out of seclusion, Lin Yuan learned from Mo Qili that all the buildings of the You Clan are movable. In fact, the "Soul Furnace" is not here, but temporarily appears here through a method used by the You Clan, providing the You Clan with a steady supply of "dark source".

Before Lin Yuan left, Mo Qili finally told him an important piece of information:

"I haven't told you yet. In our world, the 'You Clan' is just one of the major races. We are the world of the dead, called 'Nine Netherworlds'. If you want to join the darkness, my You Clan welcomes you at any time. Remember your contract. Goodbye."

……

After returning to the demon world, Lin Yuan suppressed all voices of resistance and immediately ordered his army to retreat. He then attacked the You clan fortress again a month later.

But at this moment, the layers of ice and the main buildings of the You Clan were gone, leaving only some leftovers. Lin Yuan ordered the destruction of everything that did not belong to the Demon World, just like destroying a corpse and covering up all traces.

Afterwards, it was that false report. Therefore, Lin Yuan was directly dismissed from all military posts by the angry Emperor Crablan and demoted to the then dilapidated village of Oliveira as a village chief, becoming a mere villager.

But who is Lin Yuan? She was able to sit on the marshal's throne with her own strength. Naturally, she has the ability to develop a backward small village into a first-tier city, and rely on the knowledge she gained in the You clan to rapidly improve her cultivation.

When the war of unification of the empire was nearing its end, because of Lin Yuanyou's leading cultivation, her contribution to Oliveira, and her influence on the surrounding cities and towns, Crablan had to reuse her. He sent her to redeem herself from her crime and took command of the army to the South China Sea front to capture Shuitian Port and a number of ports and offshore islands along the coast.

At this point, the entire northern continent has been incorporated into the Eternal Night territory...

Han Jin snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "I know this. Marshal Lin Yuan took only two days to capture Shuitian Port, and he made a candied haws out of the heads of the seven human officers who resisted and presented them to my father!"

Lin Yuan coughed twice awkwardly and said with a red face:

"Thinking back then, I was pretty cruel. But those seven old men also killed many of my generals before I took over the war on the southern front."

Ying Li didn't care about these things. There would always be killing in a war. He was still concerned about the information about the Mingyuan River. The secret that Lin Yuan told was like a bolt from the blue to him.

It turns out that the Devil's Heart is not unique to the Demon World, and it did not even originally belong to the Demon World.

How to explain the sentence "Velanti's invasion is reasonable"? The origin of "Devil's Heart" "Distortion Void", why does this name sound so close to Velanti? Could it be that the Devil's Heart originally belonged to them? They just want to take back what belongs to them.

Ying Li couldn't believe this crazy inference. At least there was no direct evidence for now. It was just a bold guess, and... it was approved by his subconscious mind.

At the very least, one thing can be made clear, that Weilanti's coming to the Demon Realm to snatch the "Devil's Heart" cannot be simply described as "stealing", because the Demon Realm was equivalent to picking it up.

But Weilanti did cause indelible trauma to the demon world and the demon clan, and this grudge must be settled with Weilanti, regardless of whether their behavior was reasonable or not.

Also, the name of that world, "Nine Netherworld", and the name "Netherworld Clan", are they really related to his "Netherworld Flame Art"? And the "Dark Source" mentioned by Mo Qili, it seems that the group has to go to Nine Netherworld.

"Thank you for your information. Do you have any commission this time?" Ying Li asked.

Lin Yuan and Han Jin were both stunned. Lin Yuan put out her cigarette and looked at him with a smile. He had only worked with her once, but she was already so good at it. She knew that Lin Yuan never worked in vain.

"Yes, there is indeed something I need you for. As a demon king, you must know about the "Blood Curse", right?"

This question is also what Han Jin is very concerned about. She is at the ninth level of Ghost King Realm and one of the few people in the Demon Realm who is closest to the Demon Lord Realm.

Ying Li nodded. He was not surprised by this. This problem was indeed a problem that troubled the entire demon world.

"In fact, we are still a long way from reaching the realm of Demon Lord. But my sister-in-law..." Ying Li looked at Han Jin.

Han Jin is slightly angry: "I am your wife now!"

"Cough cough!"

Ying Li quickly coughed to cover up his embarrassment, ignoring Lin Yuan's surprised and approving look, and said:

"I can't call it now! Actually, it's "Bloodborne"..."

"——It is caused by the "Devil's Heart". When we cultivate magic power, it is actually equivalent to draining the essence of the "Devil's Heart". It is difficult to break through the Devil Lord Realm. On the one hand, it is because the demand for magic power is large, and on the other hand, it is more harmful to the "Devil's Heart". The "Devil's Heart" requires every Devil Lord to remember his efforts and protect himself from becoming weaker after the magic power is perfected, so this hurdle is set."

"Is the Devil's Heart really alive?" Lin Yuan asked.

Ying Li: "Of course, it just doesn't have the characteristics of a living thing. In essence, it is indeed alive, but he doesn't let us know the meaning of his life. He only lets us know that it is the "Devil's Heart" that is selflessly giving. "

"Then how can we break the Blood Curse? In other words, how can we, who are not from the Demon Clan, be promoted to the level of Demon Lord?!" Han Jin asked.

Ying Li smiled. In his opinion, this question was a bit ignorant.

"Who said that only the demons can be promoted to the Demon Lord Realm? Is it you, the masters of the world, or the Sanctuary who are good at brainwashing?"

"Clam--"
