The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

"The Forbidden City is very big..."

"So... at that time, the chess game had been settled. What Cicada did next was just struggling. Even if I didn't rush back, the situation would not change at all. Maybe... Ku also wanted to use this to sharpen his skills. For him, he half-deliberately ended the situation on that side...but he didn't want to be so arrogant that he didn't choose to retreat, so he suffered such a big loss..."

"But maybe this is another kind of tempering?"

After saying these words, Chu Tianxiao secretly clenched his fists: "In other words...Ku treats us as a tool to sharpen the two 'His Highnesses'? Doesn't he take the human race at all?"

"Who...is he?"

Emperor Zhou said: "Ku's identity has become a mystery. Zhong Yi and I deduced back then that this beast was definitely not a human demon, but a demon from the demon world that came to the human world like a cicada! But... after watching over the years, we found that That doesn’t seem to be the case…”

Chu Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this, and then heard Emperor Zhou continue: "Ku seems to disappear without a trace every once in a while, just like 'dead'... This interval may be long or short, and this time, This is the longest time he has been 'dead'..."

"We... even suspected for a time that 'Ku' was really 'dead' this time... But that night, various signs showed that he was still alive..."

Hearing these words, Chu Tianxiao felt confused and unbelievable... Could it be that every once in a while, 'Ku' would fall into a deep sleep? suspended animation? Or maybe...any other possibility?

"We know too little about Ku, but once, the human race fished out a corpse in the snowfield. The black robe and white mask looked so similar to Ku, but after taking off the mask, His true identity was beyond recognition... After waiting for several years, various signs gradually emerged, and almost everyone believed that Ku was dead. However, not long after that, Ku unexpectedly reappeared, causing trouble for the enemy! All the powerful men of the human race suffered heavy losses..."

"Whether that incident... was a trap from the beginning, or there is another hidden reason, no one knows yet..."

When Chu Tianxiao heard this, his pupils shrank slightly. It would be fine if the body was fake, but if it was real...

"Could Ku keep dying and resurrecting?"

At this thought, Chu Tianxiao felt a shiver. If that were true, wouldn't it mean that the human race would never be able to kill this terrible enemy?

Emperor Zhou looked at Chu Tianxiao and said: "Although this is mysterious and bizarre, it is not the true strength of their demon clan..."

His expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Little prodigal son, do you know that demons in the demon world are dozens of times more powerful than demons in the human world?"

"Why are the demons in the Tianhuang Continent so rampant? It's because they have the demon world as a backer, and they have a lot of support in the demon world! But our human race... doesn't have any!"

"The vast land of China is said to be the place where the human race is reviving, but in fact, we are the only remaining human race!"

"Since the ancient sages were all annihilated, the human race has become a lonely boat."

"There is no backer, no foreign aid, no retreat, not even allies!"

"We humans can only survive by relying on our own efforts!"

"After so many years of hard work, the human race has finally regained some of its former glory. Even if we only focus on the demons in the Tianhuang Continent, our human race can firmly maintain the upper hand by gathering all the power of the vast land of China. The theory of destroying demons is not a delusion..."

"but……"

Emperor Zhou said: "The demons have a deep hatred for our human race, and they are determined to kill us. Not only are they deliberately trying to provoke the various countries of the human race and trigger a struggle, but more importantly... they have been trying to find ways to bring the demons from the demon world to the world for so many years. You saw the results that night.”

Chu Tianxiao nodded. There was no way he could forget the danger of that night's game...

only……

"Your Majesty, I have always had a question. Since the demon world could send that cicada that night, why not just send the army of the demon world over? In that case, we can crush the human race, right?"

Hearing this, Emperor Zhou nodded: "You finally thought of this... Yes, although it is not known how strong the demon world is, it is an undoubted fact that their strength far exceeds the vast land of China... It's just that In order to prevent panic, I have been blocking the news..."

Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes: "In that case..."

"It's not that they don't want to do it, but that they can't do it." Emperor Zhou said, "The human world and the demon world are two vast worlds. There is a natural seal between the two worlds. Unless the seal is broken, the demons in the demon world will It is absolutely impossible for them to come out in full force. The 'summoning' like that night actually requires the demons to pay a huge price, coincidence, and many restrictions before it can be successful... In the short term, it is impossible for them to do it a second time. "

Hearing the sound, Chu Tianxiao suddenly realized that he was right. The current demon world is like a high-level plane. If there was no such thing as a "seal", they would have marched straight into the human world...

"I see... So your Majesty is determined to suppress the demons in order to prevent the demons in the Tianhuang Continent from finding the seal and breaking it?"

"That's right..." Emperor Zhou nodded appreciatively, "According to my and Zhong Yi's speculation, the seals in the two realms seem to be bidirectional, with different strengths and weaknesses... It seems that the seal on the demonic realm should be extremely strong, so strong that the demons are completely powerless. Breaking, but our human side seems to be a weakness... The seal here seems to weaken every few decades, and that night, I am afraid that it was when the seal was weak that it caused the gap between the human and demon worlds. The space is turbulent and full of gaps. Otherwise, a strong man of Cicada's level would never be able to come here!"

"However, the trend of the demons' actions in recent years has become more and more obvious - they are trying their best to find the location of the seals of the two realms, as if they have great confidence, as if they will find a way to break the seal... So, once they find it, The consequences are simply unimaginable!”

Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao's heart trembled and he quickly asked: "Where is the seal..."

Emperor Zhou shook his head: "It is rumored that the seal of the two realms will appear once every four hundred years, but no one has ever seen it, and they don't know where it is... However, judging from the actions of the demon clan in recent years, it seems that they Already have a clue..."

"So, I must strike first!"

"If we don't kill the demons this time, the human race will be in danger!"

At this point, Chu Tianxiao's doubts have been solved a lot, but at the same time many new questions have arisen... For example, does His Majesty's sentence "The Forbidden City is very big" mean that there are still masters here? So, what kind of master can be deemed by His Majesty as "guaranteing Kyoto's safety"? Also, Ku, this mysterious demon wise man, what secrets does he have? Why does it sometimes disappear and sometimes appear? What's going on with that weird corpse? Of course, what concerned Chu Tianxiao the most was... why did he let his two disciples compete in the human world? What is the specific content of the game?

Could it be...that it has something to do with the seal?

With so many doubts lingering in his mind, Chu Tianxiao lightly tapped his palms. Looking at his appearance, Emperor Zhou smiled faintly: "You don't have to be so nervous... No matter it's the demon clan or the demon world, if the sky falls, there will always be something higher." The tall one holds it.”

"I and those old guys will never be just decorations."

These words had some humorous meaning, and Chu Tianxiao also smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty is right, I think too much..."

"Well, don't take too much pressure, but don't slack off either. After all, this world belongs to you young people..."

Emperor Zhou said sincerely, and then asked: "Okay, little prodigal son, I have told you most of what you want to know. Now...it's your turn to answer my questions."

Chu Tianxiao clasped his fists respectfully, and then Emperor Zhou asked in detail the details of Chu Tianxiao's destruction of the Black Sky Blood Altar that night. Chu Tianxiao also told Emperor Zhou almost everything except Qin Jiaojiao's matter. The more he listened, the stronger the admiration in his eyes became.

Finally, all these emotions dissolved into a long sigh.

"Zhong Yi, there is a successor!"

After this voice fell, before Chu Tianxiao could say a few humble words, Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes and said with interest: "Next, it's time for you to ask for rewards? I heard that you want my Tianyi God water?"

Hearing the sound, Chu Tianxiao felt a knot in his heart. He was startled when Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said, "Don't be suspicious of Lao Qi. He wasn't the one who told you secrets... I have a way of knowing your little tricks."

After saying this, Chu Tianxiao gave a bitter smile and said: "Your Majesty is very discerning, I do need Tianyi Divine Water, but just one drop is enough... This matter is a matter of life and death for me!"
