Chapter 159 The Ancient Legend of the Demon Race
In the depths of the magic cave, in a wide and dark secret room.
Demons and ghosts were carved on the surrounding walls, and eight stone lamps were lit in the four corners, emitting a dim yellow light.
There are many gems inlaid on the roof, lit up with stars, and it seems to form some kind of formation.
In addition to the cold and bloody aura in the secret room, there is a bit of a mysterious aura.
In the middle of the secret room, there is a blood pool with a radius of more than ten meters.
The pool was filled with dark red blood, and under the urging of the power of the formation, it continued to flow.
A statue stands in the blood pool. It is a devil with black wings, four thick arms, and blue-faced fangs.
The power of the entire blood pool continued to converge on the statue, causing the black statue to faintly glow with blood.
At this time, the Blood Moon County Lord and the High Priest were standing on the edge of the blood pool, talking in a low voice.
The high priest said in a cold tone: "County Blood Moon, I just went to the soul cell to check."
"More than 30 soul-locking chains were all cut off, and the 39 souls we imprisoned there were all rescued by the bastards of Qingtianzong!"
"Including that kid named Ji Ling, who was also rescued by the disciples of Qingtian Sect."
In the blood-red eyes of the Blood Moon County Lord, there was a strong anger and murderous intent.
She frowned fiercely and cursed through gritted teeth: "Damn the disciple of Qingtian Sect! He even sneaked into the soul cell while we were out, and let go of so many souls!"
"That's the soul we've been searching for in the past hundred years. Most of them have some clues and secrets. Especially Ji Ling's soul, it is related to the seal formation of Qingtianzong!"
"We haven't tortured the news about the sealing formation, and Ji Ling's soul has been rescued!"
"Damn it! Damn it! If this county master catches them again, they must be made into blood, and their souls will be imprisoned forever!"
The Blood Moon County Lord became more and more angry, his body trembled with anger, and he subconsciously 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, splashing out countless dark red blood droplets.
The high priest frowned, hurriedly crossed his hands over his chest, and gave a strange salute to the statue in the blood pool.
While saluting, he also prayed two sentences, which seemed to be some kind of scriptures or incantations.
After praying, he stared at the Blood Moon Princess and said solemnly: "Your Highness, please restrain your anger, and don't be disrespectful to the idol of the Demon Emperor!"
The Blood Moon County Lord was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a face full of shame and self-blame.
She also folded her hands and covered her chest, saluting to the statue of the Demon Emperor in the blood pond, chanting incantations in her mouth, and accusing her of sins again and again.
After a while, the Blood Moon County Lord finished praying, and said to the high priest in a deep voice: "High priest, I will personally lead a team of warriors to sneak into the Qingtian Sect again and take back Ji Ling's soul!"
"Only by interrogating the secret of the sealing formation, can we rescue His Majesty the Demon Emperor as soon as possible!"
The high priest shook his head and categorically rejected her idea.
"His Royal Highness, the Qingtian Sect is already alert and will definitely strengthen its defense. You sneak into the Qingtian Sect with the warriors, and you will only die in vain!"
"What's more, we have more important things to do! Investigating the news of the Tianxingzhu is far more important than investigating the sealing formation!"
The Blood Moon County Lord frowned tightly, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes.
"Investigate the news of the Tianxingzhu now? How to investigate?"
"The souls in the soul cell have all been rescued, and it is impossible for us to find clues quickly."
The high priest showed a smile, and said in a playful tone: "Last evening, didn't you capture a disciple of the Qingtian Sect?"
The Blood Moon County Lord frowned and said contemptuously, "That human boy? His strength is too weak, and he is less than twenty years old. How could he know the news of the Sky Bead?"
The high priest 'Jie Jie' sneered twice, and asked back: "The Blood Moon County Lord, you shouldn't have forgotten that we just infiltrated the Qingtian Sect a few days ago, right?"
"Although he is weak, like an ant, a mysterious black hole suddenly appeared beside him, absorbing 60% of your skill!"
Mentioning this matter, the Blood Moon County Lord's face became a little unnatural, and there was a look of shame and anger in his eyes.
"Humph! That damn bastard must have some kind of secret treasure to protect his body."
"Otherwise, based on his strength, he would have been slapped into meat sauce by my palm!"
The high priest said with a smile: "You are right, he does have secret treasures on him."
"When I rescued you, I sensed a mysterious ancient breath 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 doubts, "Why does that kid have the aura of the Heavenly Star Beads?"
The high priest said calmly: "We won't know until we investigate that kid!"
"Although he is weak, he may be related to the Sky Bead. If he can be used by us, we will have a chance to find the Sky Bead!"
"As long as we find the Celestial Beads, we can find the Sword God's Tomb, and our clan will be able to revive and rise again, even more prosperous than it was a thousand years ago!"
"At that time, let alone a mere Tianchen Domain, my clan will definitely be able to control the entire continent!"
The high priest fantasized while talking, his emotions became more and more excited, his tone became more and more high-pitched, and a thick light flashed in his eyes.
The Blood Moon County Lord frowned, becoming more and more puzzled.
"High Priest, we only need to break the seal formation of Qingtian Sect and rescue His Majesty the Demon Emperor."
"At that time, as long as the Heavenly Star Beads are used to help His Majesty the Demon Emperor recover his vitality, our family will be able to take revenge and take control of the Tianchen Region with ease."
"Isn't this what we have been working hard for? Why should we go to the distance and find the tomb of the Sword God?"
"What does the Sword God's Tomb have to do with the revival and rise of our clan?"
The high priest took a deep look at her and said with a chuckle, "Hehe, Your Royal Highness, you are still too young to know very little."
"It seems that the ancient legend about my clan was not told to you by Lord Demon King."
"What ancient legend?" The Blood Moon County Lord stared at the high priest with his eyes full of doubts, and was also a little embarrassed.
The attitude of the high priest made her feel that her dignity and status had been provoked and despised.
"That legend was spread from thousands of years ago."
The high priest stared at the statue of the Demon Emperor in the blood pool, his eyes showed the color of memory, and he spoke slowly in a low voice.
"The Blood Moon County Lord, you should be very clear that the physique of our clan and the human clan are different, and the body structure is also inherently different."
"Humans are born with dantian, but our demons do not have dantian, only meridians and powerful flesh."
"We can't cultivate the vitality of the five elements of heaven and earth like the human race. We can only cultivate the way of blood demon, the way of asura, the way of corpse demon... and so on."
"Because of this, all races in the world regard our Demon Race as the most vicious and vicious race, and they can't wait to drive us out and kill us."
"However, this is not the original intention of our ancestors. This is destined by heaven, and our family is also forced to helpless!"
"We practice various secret methods of evil ways. Although we can quickly increase our strength, there are disadvantages that cannot be eliminated, which will cause great harm to ourselves."
"The stronger the strength of our people, the more severe the pain they will endure during cultivation. The body will also undergo various changes, and eventually they will become strange and ferocious monsters!"
