System's Super Sect-Chapter 706 - 701, The Instigator Behind the Demon Race’s Great Turmoil

Chapter 706: 701, The Instigator Behind the Demon Race’s Great Turmoil

"No!"

"Of course not. Ever since I received the Demon Emperor’s last words, I began investigating this matter. It took me seven months to learn the secrets of the Heaven and Earth Lake Demon Race’s inheritance from the mouths of the Demon Race’s three kings. It turns out that the Demon Emperor of this generation did not inherit the Demon Race’s legacy. He didn’t even pass the Demon Race’s inheritance test. The reason he became the Demon Emperor was because, during that time, the Demon Race was severely oppressed by the Human Race, struggling desperately. As the strongest among them, he stepped forward to earn the Demon Race one last breath and was then revered as the Demon Emperor."

"Furthermore, in the historical records of the Hundred Sects Alliance, there are descriptions of the previous Demon Emperors. The previous Demon Emperors indeed boasted Demon Bodies unparalleled in the world, capable of tearing apart a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted with sheer physical power. The records of the Hundred Sects Alliance state that the power of those Demon Emperors approached the Earth Unrestricted level, which is why they had the strength to tear a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted. However, what they didn’t know is that even in the Heaven-Gazing Gorge, such powerful Half-Step Earth Unrestricted beings do not exist."

"In addition, the documents of the Hundred Sects Alliance have other records. The decline of the Demon Race began when the previous Demon Emperor died of old age, which was also when the Human Race rose and consequently controlled the Heaven and Earth Lake. Each incident, if taken alone, seems insignificant, but if you combine the Demon Emperor’s last words, the words of the three kings of the Demon Race, and the records of the Hundred Sects Alliance, they all point in one direction—the Inheritance Land of the Demon Race."

Long Ye laid out a slew of evidence to support his plan, fearing that Wen Pingchong still wouldn’t believe him.

But what he didn’t know was that Wen Pingchong wasn’t interested at all.

Wen Pingchong only caught two words in those sentences, "Three Kings?"

Long Ye replied, "That’s the third son of the Demon Race’s Demon Emperor. That guy’s ambitions aren’t small, but with his ability, it’s impossible for him to unify the Demon Race. Moreover, he doesn’t have the key to unlock the Inheritance Land of the Demon Race; the key is in my hands. So I promised to support him in unifying the Demon Race. In exchange, he revealed the secrets of the Demon Race because he knows holding onto the Demon Race’s inheritance secret is useless; it’s better to exchange it for my support. With my help, eliminating all discordant voices within the Demon Race is merely a flick of the wrist."

"I see."

Wen Pingchong finally understood why the Demon Race’s three kings dared to openly send demon kings to assassinate their own brothers.

He initially thought it was madness.

Who knew it was Long Ye acting as their backing.

Indeed, with a powerful force outside the Heaven and Earth Lake as backing, unifying the Demon Race within the Heaven and Earth Lake was nothing.

What does murdering a few of his brothers matter?

Long Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wen Pingchong’s words, "Another chance?"

Wen Pingchong nodded.

"Mmm-hmm."

Of course, Wen Pingchong didn’t believe Long Ye’s words, nor his plan, and didn’t trust anything that could supposedly help a Spirit Body reach the Ascension Stage.

He believed that keeping Long Ye around could be useful.

Keeping Long Ye means the three kings of the Demon Race are essentially under control.

However, with the fourth king Ying Zhao already being a disciple of the Immortal Sect and the second king Huaikong having significant connections to the Immortal Sect, should they consider the three kings as enemies or not?

Putting aside his thoughts, Wen Pingchong said to Long Ye, "If your matters drag my father in again, there won’t be another chance. The Punishment Fire will turn you to ashes, and I can guarantee it will melt you faster than your Blood Axe."

Long Ye replied, "I understand, I understand, rest assured, there won’t be a next time."

Finally quelling Wen Pingchong’s anger, Long Ye glanced in He Nian’s direction.

He Nian was currently being tormented by the Devouring Beast, utterly powerless to resist.

Long Ye had no fondness for the man who forced him to hand over the Demon Emperor’s inheritance to Wen Pingchong.

Turning his head, Long Ye said, "He Nian must not be given a chance. Once he finds an opportunity to escape, he’ll use the ’Return Nest Map.’ It’s a special thing that only a Four-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan of the He Mansion can create. Whenever a leader-level expert from my He Mansion travels afar, the He Mansion provides them with a ’Return Nest Map.’ Once used, it can take them directly to their marked lair."

Actually, its real name is Return Nest Map.

But because too many people in the Heaven-Gazing Gorge found them unbearable, it was called the Return Nest Map over time.

After listening, Wen Pingchong also turned to look at the Devouring Beast in the dark night.

Knowing He Nian had such a thing, he directly communicated to the Devouring Beast to conclude the battle swiftly.

Following that, Wen Pingchong began walking back toward the street where the inn was located. Seeing Wen Pingchong remain silent, Long Ye hurried to catch up, constantly glancing at the center of the battle, enjoying the sight of He Nian’s humiliation.

...

The Devouring Beast, who initially wanted to kill He Nian to prove herself, became merciless as soon as she heard Wen Pingchong’s command to end it quickly. She changed her tactics and used the Bone Spike Cage once more.

Once He Nian is trapped by the Bone Spike Cage, it’s impossible for him to avoid death.

Bang!

Bang!

Accompanied by the rising Bone Spike Cages, He Nian awkwardly dodged.

He Nian, of course, understood.

If he’s trapped again, surviving would be impossible.

The next moment, He Nian instinctively glanced at the storage ring on his right thumb.

The Return Nest Map, he must use it.

Since the Return Nest Map represents his last chance, He Nian was hesitant.

If he doesn’t use it,

he could return and recover, still having a chance to plot about Long Ye’s plans.

He could still fight for it.

If he uses it,

he’d never have another chance.

Dragging his crippled body, how could he contend with Long Ye? If he dared to fight, Long Ye would certainly kill him. He would then become the first leader-level expert to die from the He Mansion in thirty years.

With the Devouring Beast’s ever-more aggressive assault, He Nian made up his mind.

With a thought, a thin Vortex Map appeared in his hand, and with a spat of blood onto it by He Nian,

the red vortex on the Vortex Map began to spin, releasing a massive pulling force that quickly sucked He Nian’s hand inside.

He Nian immediately turned back, saying coldly, "This grudge, the He Mansion will remember."

As the words fell, He Nian was completely sucked into the red vortex. After pulling He Nian in, the special Vortex Map suddenly combusted, turning into ash like dry leaves slowly drifting to the ground.

With the dust settled, silence crept back in.

The Devouring Beast stood there, bewildered, looking behind her, then to the left, then to the right.

She’s dumbfounded.

How did the target vanish!

Didn’t she still need to devour him?

When she extended her perception around, unable to trace He Nian’s presence, the Devouring Beast finally realized—He Nian had greased his heels and ran!

It’s over!

The Devouring Beast quickly fled, dashing into the pitch-black night and hiding there to transmit a message to Wen Pingchong.

"Master, the enemy... he... he... ran away!"
