Chapter 1421: The Demon Clan’s Ordeal
The Divine Calculator was puzzled by Chen Nan and the demon tribe woman not escaping immediately, but instead heading off somewhere else. He soon understood the reason.
Chen Nan shook his head: "It’s useless, I’ve already tried it."
"We went to the city gates, but couldn’t open them, and the entire city is covered by a barrier, making it impossible to get out!"
The Divine Calculator suddenly clenched his fist: "Damn it, this is a cage, and we walked straight into it!"
The demon tribe woman looked sad, sighing: "Isn’t that the same with us demons?"
"By the way, what exactly happened with your demon tribe?"
The demon tribe woman glanced at Chen Nan. Seeing him nod slightly, she finally revealed everything. Through her narration, the Divine Calculator finally learned what happened.
The demon tribe was indeed well-prepared at first. The flying boat was equipped with a powerful forbidden array that could withstand the gang wind and chill. Although the process was arduous, the demon tribe still successfully reached the bottom of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss.
They were astonished when they saw Fengdu City, clearly unaware that below the Heavenly Cutting Abyss lay such a scene, with a human city.
The demon tribe cautiously entered Fengdu City, receiving a warm welcome like Chen Nan and the Divine Calculator. Somehow, everyone in the demon tribe grew fond of the place.
The Ghost Clan divided a section of the city for the demons, continually making friends with them. The demon tribe, with no defenses, saw the ghost tribe as mere mortals. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Some demons even secretly ate some ghosts, but since ghosts weren’t flesh and blood, the demons lost interest after a bite.
The demon tribe also gradually became immersed in the beauty of Fengdu City, with many treating it as a paradise outside the realm!
However, their bodies grew weaker, and this couldn’t be hidden. A Demon King investigated and discovered that the ghost tribe was absorbing their essence energy.
After being exposed, the ghost tribe no longer disguised themselves, transforming into ferocious ghosts, including those at the Ghost King level, equivalent to the Demon King’s level!
Great Saint Ao Hao of the demon tribe was the strongest among them, but he was gravely injured from the previous Dragon Fall Island battle and couldn’t act, while the ghost tribe’s Ghost Kings were exceptionally fierce.
Moreover, there was no nature’s spiritual energy here for the demon tribe to recover, while the ghost tribe could endlessly harness the yin energy, seemingly invincible.
Therefore, it didn’t take long for the entire demon tribe to be captured and imprisoned, becoming tools for the ghost tribe to siphon essence energy.
The demon tribe girl wasn’t captured because she hid and was covered by a restriction from Great Saint Ao Hao, concealing her presence, allowing her to survive until now.
Though over time, the demon tribe girl didn’t have the power to rescue her tribe or escape the city, and the restriction on her gradually failed, leading Chen Nan to discover her.
"Haha, when the demon tribe treated humans as food, they never imagined they’d one day be imprisoned by the ghost tribe in the same way!"
After hearing the demon tribe’s plight, the Divine Calculator inexplicably felt a hint of secret pleasure, blurting out his words.
The demon tribe woman glared fiercely at the Divine Calculator: "We should cooperate now, you help me rescue them, and we’ll join forces against the ghost tribe, otherwise none of us will escape!"
The Divine Calculator shrugged, smiling slightly: "Aren’t you asking us for help?"
"You!" The demon tribe woman trembled with anger.
"Brother Dao, it’d be better to say less, Sensen is right, our clans should cooperate now." Chen Nan spoke helplessly: "Sensen, don’t be bothered by him."
"Sensen?" The Divine Calculator’s expression grew strange: "Calling her so affectionately, did you already..."
Chen Nan wished he could punch the Divine Calculator’s foul mouth, thinking, is this how I’m perceived?
The demon tribe woman was also furious, shouting: "I’m Yuan Sensen!"
"Yuan... Sensen?" The Divine Calculator’s expression turned even more peculiar: "You’re from the Ape Clan? Junior brother, didn’t you tell her about what we did before?"
Chen Nan shook his head. He and the Divine Calculator had teamed up to collect Ape Clan corpses, each taking what they needed. How could this be explained?
Should they tell Yuan Sensen that we had dissected her distant kin to take demon cores, and refined them into Demon Spirit Pills?
How could such words even be spoken?
Upon realizing Yuan Sensen was from the Ape Clan, Chen Nan was momentarily taken aback, never imagining such a coincidence.
The Divine Calculator glanced at Yuan Sensen with a deep meaning and sighed: "Little girl, why don’t you scold us both, or else it’s embarrassing to act."
Sensen was dumbfounded, having never seen someone actively seeking a scolding. Was there some peculiar habit?
Chen Nan quickly glared at the Divine Calculator, explaining: "Don’t listen to his nonsense, we’re allies now, we won’t act against you."
"Oh, are you worried that the demon tribe will come after you once they’re freed? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely persuade them not to act against you."
Yuan Sensen patted her chest, showing determination.
Chen Nan sighed; it was precisely at times like this that it was hard to confess what they had done earlier. Otherwise, their fragile alliance might instantly collapse.
But then he thought, among the captured demon tribe, some might recognize him, making it even more awkward, so it might be better to confess directly.
After all, during the Dragon Fall Island incident, everyone fought for themselves; it wasn’t something they could change.
"Sensen, during the Dragon Fall Island battle, an Ape Clan Demon King of the Nascent Soul Realm fell, did you know?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Sensen’s expression turned gloomy, bowing her head in a muffled voice: "I know, he was my clan uncle, very kind to me, often taking me out to play!"
"But I heard my clan uncle’s corpse was taken by the Human Clan, possibly to be made into a puppet or a great elixir!"
"I’ve also heard that humans on the battlefield specifically sought out my Ape Clan corpses, certainly with bad intentions!"
Chen Nan closed his eyes, they actually knew each other!
"Well, the people you mentioned are the two of us."
Sensen was momentarily shocked, pausing before finally understanding Chen Nan’s words.
"Why did you collect my Ape Clan’s corpses? Right, my clan uncle’s corpse is still with you, right? Can you give him back to me, I want him to rest in peace!"
Chen Nan took a deep breath, shook his head: "Resting in peace isn’t possible, but you can taste it."
"Taste... it?" Sensen was utterly stunned.
Chen Nan directly took out the precious Demon Spirit Pill he had been unwilling to use, a pill formed from the body of an Ape Clan Demon King. Refining the pill could lead to an opportunity for him to reach the perfect "Demon Ape Form!"
But now, the Ape King’s relative had come looking!
