Chapter 255: The Demon Dares to Kill a Pureblood? The World is Changing! (6800 words)
It's unknown how long has passed.
Xiang Yuan left, leaving this small courtyard, and tranquility returned here, with only the ruins and traces on the ground proving the previous scene had occurred.
The following days continued as usual.
Xiang Shan continued to follow Nicholas's guidance, constantly making significant moves to attract more followers.
But the three major families did not make any moves against him.
Xiang Shan knew that Xiang Yuan played a role, exerting his influence at a certain point. With his current status, he had a high level of authority within the Three Source City.
The importance of the Divine Demon Ritual was not a joke.
Even the ancestral figures of the pureblood families did not dare to easily act against him.
Because it would affect the Divine Demon Ritual, and the consequences would be severe. The Demon Emperor would be angry, and no one would be willing to bear that.
Of course, this was the final glory, the last toll of life.
He began to be grateful that he spared Xiang Yuan's life and deeply admired Nicholas's wisdom. Otherwise... if Xiang Yuan had really been killed, it would have been a big problem!
Even though he could take Xiang Shan's place.
But the matters of the Ancestral Demon Sect would inevitably be affected.
The chosen prodigies participating in the Divine Demon Ritual actually believed in the equality of all demons and wanted to overthrow the Demon God. This would cause a great disturbance and turmoil.
...
Soon, several days passed.
Everything was calm.
However, Xiang Shan's reputation spread wider and wider, and his name and deeds began to circulate in the surrounding cities.
"I heard that a sage appeared in the Three Source City, from the Earth Demon Elephant Clan, and he treats his subordinates, the demons, very well!"
"I heard that he disregarded his family's opposition and even had a falling out with his family, overthrowing his own family's Demon Fighting Arena and saving a large number of demons, giving them a way out!"
"Not only that, he even willingly endured punishment for his subordinates, publicly receiving a whipping, witnessed by countless people!"
"A whipping? How come I heard that he was flayed alive, with a layer of skin scraped off, it was extremely cruel and bloody!"
"Where did you all hear these rumors? It's clearly corporal punishment, severing the ancestral roots, paying the price of future generations, to save a few unrelated demons, what a good demon!"
As the information spread, it became more and more distorted, and countless people marveled at it.
This was an unprecedented novelty, a young master from a pureblood family who could go to such lengths for lowly demons, and he didn't even know those demons at all!
"What sage? Clearly a fool! Tainting the purity of his bloodline, this is a shame for the pureblood Demon Race!"
"As a pureblood, he actually mingles with a group of mixed breeds, it's simply ridiculous!"
Of course, the majority of people didn't care, and even in public, they mocked and sneered.
There was even a young master from a prominent clan who made Xiang Shan the topic of a banquet, mocking and ridiculing him for several days, and had someone specially write a script to insult him.
But no matter what, the development of the situation was favorable, meeting Xiang Shan's expectations.
"Hiss, look, what is that?"
On top of the city wall of San Yuan City, the Demon Race responsible for lookout suddenly widened their eyes and pointed to the distant gray plain, shocked.
Following their line of sight, everyone instantly became stunned.
Only to see on the plain, figures densely packed like a tide surged forward, pitch black and endless, coming from all directions, eventually converging near San Yuan City.
This scene was extremely spectacular, completely black, it was a demon tide.
The demons on the city wall were all shocked, their scalps tingling, cold sweat pouring out: "Enemy attack, this must be an enemy attack!"
Even within Sea Demon Island, it was not peaceful.
The major ancient cities and tribes of the Demon Race often attacked and fought each other, it was a common occurrence.
However, in recent days, everyone had been busy preparing for the divine and demon ceremony, and there were few conflicts. The rulers of each ancient city seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, so they relaxed a lot.
Now, seeing this scene, they were instantly frightened and trembling all over.
They subconsciously wanted to sound the alarm.
"Wait!" Suddenly, a powerful Demon Race stopped their actions, eyes glowing with demonic light, staring into the distance: "It's not an enemy attack... all of these are demonic beings!"
Demonic beings?
They calmed down and focused their gaze.
Indeed, they were all demonic beings. If it were a major battle, there would definitely be powerful members of pure-blooded clans standing tall in the sky, leading the charge with overwhelming aura.
The Demon Race worshipped the strong, and this was almost the correct rhythm for every major battle.
But now, there were none.
"Halt! Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to San Yuan City?" The leading Demon Race stood on the city wall and shouted loudly.
Below, the countless demonic beings stopped their footsteps, and a demonic figure stepped forward and said loudly, "We have come here only to pay respects to the Ninth Prince of the Earth Elephant Clan!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Demon Race on the city wall were stunned.
Such a terrifying number of demonic beings, all came for the Elephant Mountain?
For what?
But soon, they realized that everything Elephant Mountain had done seemed foolish in the eyes of many high-ranking Demon Race members, but in the eyes of the lowest-level demonic beings, it was a truly great opportunity, a once-in-a-millennium event.
Enough to attract countless demonic beings from all over.
The news quickly spread, and more and more figures appeared on the city wall, looking down and feeling inexplicably shocked.
Many pure-blooded Demon Race members also appeared, surrounded by demonic energy, their auras astonishing, looking down below with a solemn expression.
"All of this is for the Ninth Prince?"
"So many demonic beings, we can already form an army!"
"The Ninth Prince's reputation is extraordinary!"
"An army? Far from it, the strength of the demonic beings is weak, they can only be used as cannon fodder. If they want to have combat power, they must have powerful individuals to lead!" Someone sneered, noncommittal.
Boom!
At this moment, in the sky, a large blue bird broke through the air, spreading its wings and covering the sky, exuding a demonic aura, like an ocean.
Its presence was extremely terrifying, causing many pure-blooded creatures to feel pressure. They wrinkled their brows and retreated, hiding behind their old servants.
"That's Qingyun, the third on the Demon Ranking. Although he is not pure-blooded, he is not far off. His power is formidable!"
"He actually came too? For Xiangshan?"
"I've heard about his past experiences. It's not difficult to understand why he came here!"
The crowd exclaimed in recognition of the identity of the large bird.
There is a significant difference in bloodline and potential between pure-blooded creatures and demons.
But there are always exceptions.
In this world, there are always people who refuse to submit to fate. There are many demons who are not resigned to their fate and relentlessly pursue greater power at any cost.
Among them, there are a few individuals with deep opportunities or unimaginable perseverance who defy fate and change their destiny.
As a result, they become powerful demons that many pure-blooded creatures cannot easily contend with, causing even the strong among the pure-blooded creatures to take them seriously and not dare to be complacent.
Qingyun comes from a pure-blooded family, but his bloodline does not meet the standards of pure-blooded creatures. He is considered a demon and is a disgrace to the Ancient Clan, having been expelled from the clan.
He has experienced unimaginable difficulties and humiliations.
Legend has it that he obtained the corpse of an ancient demonic bird by accident, refined its essence, purified his bloodline, and greatly improved his bloodline grade. Although he is not a pure-blooded creature, his combat power is not inferior at all.
In fact, it is even stronger than most pure-blooded creatures.
Normally, even if a demon does everything possible to enhance their own strength, it is difficult for them to be a match for a pure-blooded creature of the same realm.
But he is an exception. His most glorious achievement was once defeating three pure-blooded creature geniuses of the same realm alone, earning him a notorious reputation. This made many pure-blooded geniuses not dare to provoke him.
His arrival instantly made the atmosphere in the field tense.
Soon, Xiangshan received the news and appeared on the city wall. Looking at the vast crowd of demons below, he was also stunned.
"Are you Xiangshan?"
Qingyun spread his wings, came to the city wall, transformed into a human form, and became a black-clothed man. He looked at Xiangshan with a cold gaze.
The people on the city wall felt as if they were facing a great enemy.
Only Xiangshan nodded calmly, "Yes, I am."
Qingyun said, "Do you really believe that demons and pure-blooded creatures are equal?"
Xiangshan nodded, "Of course!"
Qingyun said, "Answer me one question. If I am satisfied, I will obey you from now on!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar.
Qingyun's strength was well-known. There were ancient clans that had tried to recruit him at a great cost, even willing to send troops to destroy his original family, but he had ignored them all. Now, he directly proposed to pledge allegiance to the young Xiangshan?
Many people's eyes were filled with jealousy, especially the other young pure-blooded creatures.
Behind Xiangshan, the followers of the Ancestral Demon Sect were filled with joy.
The biggest problem of the Ancestral Demon Sect now was the lack of powerful individuals. If Qingyun could join them, it would be a huge surprise and a good start.
Xiangshan remained calm and said, "I don't need anyone's loyalty, but if it's just a question, I can try to answer it!"
Qingyun said, "If I take action and kill a core heir of a pure-blooded family, is it a crime?"
"What kind of question is that?"
In the distance, the young pure-blooded creatures were dissatisfied.
Even if it was a pure-blooded creature who had always looked down on the demons, facing Qingyun's question, they would definitely give an answer that declared Qingyun innocent.
Just because they wanted to recruit this powerful individual, they would definitely say what he wanted to hear.
Not to mention that Xiangshan is now advocating everywhere, claiming to promote equality among all demons and forcibly elevating the status of the demons. This question is clearly a freebie for him!
Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, Xiangshan asked, "What's the reason?"
Qingyun said, "He provoked me!"
Xiangshan said, "Is that all?"
Qingyun said, "That's all!"
Xiangshan said, "Then you are guilty and must pay with your life!"
With these words, the scene once again erupted in commotion.
"Is Xiangshan an idiot? How could he answer like this?"
"Qingyun clearly took the side of the demons. How can he say such things and expect to be liked?"
"Hehe, he always advocates for equality among all demons, but when it comes to a critical moment, he can't pretend anymore?"
Indeed, all pure-blooded creatures believed that demons were too lowly. No matter what the reason, even if their entire family was slaughtered and they were ruthlessly humiliated, daring to resist was a grave crime.
But in front of Qingyun, the majority of people would not answer like this.
Qingyun's expression changed slightly, and his gaze at Xiangshan became cold. "Is this your answer?"
Xiangshan said, "Yes!"
"I can give you another chance to think it over before answering!" Qingyun's body gradually emitted a demonic light, and the wind around him became icy, like invisible blades tearing through the surrounding void. His palm trembled slightly, as if he could strike at any moment.
"Pontiff!"
"Young master!"
Many demons became nervous and approached from all directions, wanting to protect Xiangshan.
A large wave of demons gathered, surrounding Qingyun.
Qingyun ignored everyone, staring at Xiangshan intently, his gaze sharp as a knife, his aura terrifying.
"Equality among all demons, pure-blooded creatures are no nobler than demons, and demons... are certainly no nobler than pure-blooded creatures! If you harm someone without reason, it is your fault. Even if you give me a hundred or a thousand chances, I will still answer the same way!"
Qingyun's momentum was strong, like an endless ocean, with towering waves crashing towards Xiangshan.
Xiangshan's face turned slightly pale, but his gaze was incredibly firm, meeting Qingyun's gaze without flinching.
The atmosphere in the scene instantly became extremely tense.
The demons held their breath, their throats rolling, their bodies emitting intermittent light, extremely nervous and uneasy.
Qingyun's ferocity was too much. If he really made a move, everyone here would probably die.
I don't know if the strong members of the three major families can arrive in time.
Huā lā!
All the momentum dispersed in an instant, and Qingyun's ferocity subsided. A smile bloomed on his cold face. "Very good, I didn't come here in vain!"
Then, in front of everyone, he knelt directly in front of Xiangshan.
Swearing allegiance.
Everyone was surprised and puzzled.
Only Xiangshan, looking at Qingyun in front of him, was suddenly touched in a certain part of his heart.
He knew that Qingyun was not kneeling to him, but to an unrealistic fantasy in his heart.
That fantasy, Qingyun couldn't fulfill.
But here, Xiangshan saw the beginning of success.
Xiangshan sighed, extended his finger, lightly tapped Qingyun's brow, and everyone behind him knew that this was the exclusive etiquette of the Ancestral Demon Sect, which meant that Xiangshan was accepting Qingyun as a member of the Ancestral Demon Sect.
Immediately, there was a burst of celebration. With such a strong presence in the Ancestral Demon Sect, the future looked promising.
...
Immediately after, Xiangshan led the people of the Ancestral Demon Sect to the outskirts of the city to communicate with the foreign demons who had come from afar.
After a conversation, they became even more convinced of the Ninth Young Master in front of them.
Countless foreign demons immediately knelt down, begging Xiangshan to accept them and join the Ancestral Demon Sect.
Xiangshan did not immediately agree, but gave them a task, asking them to persuade their relatives and friends to join as well, to strive for the great ideal of equality for all demons and to fight for the beautiful Demon World that the Demon Ancestor desired.
The news spread and caused a sensation.
"Heh, Sixth Young Master, I heard that your younger brother has caused quite a stir recently!"
Somewhere in the city of Sanyuan, some influential figures sat together and conversed.
"My younger brother is mischievous, please forgive him!" Xiangyuan said calmly.
"Mischievous? I don't think the Ninth Young Master is just playing around. It seems like he's serious. Even strong individuals like Qingyun have joined his ranks. Oh, I almost forgot, congratulations to the Earth Demon Elephant Clan for gaining such a powerful offering?" A middle-aged Demon Race said sarcastically.
"That's right, at first I was puzzled, why did he go through so much trouble? But now I understand, he must want to buy all the outstanding strong individuals on the Demon Ranking List to his side, right?"
"If that's the case, it's truly a grand strategy. I just wonder... is the player of this game the Ninth Young Master himself, or is there someone behind him guiding him?"
The few people exchanged words, their words sharp as knives, with hidden implications.
"Are you suggesting that this matter was planned by my Earth Demon Elephant Clan?" Xiangyuan said indifferently.
"How dare we, we were just casually guessing!"
"Smack!" Xiangyuan's face turned cold as water. He slapped the table in front of him, shattering it into pieces, and his gaze swept over the people present with a cold look. "Casually guessing? Are you tarnishing the reputation of my Earth Demon Elephant Clan, questioning our loyalty and belief in the Demon God!"
I, Xiangyuan, have been chosen to participate in the Divine Demon Ritual, which is enough to prove my sincerity and the sincerity of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan!
As for my ninth brother, he is still young and has found something new to play with. It's understandable, it's a private matter of our clan. Although it's not entirely right, our clan will teach and guide him. It's not up to you to point fingers here!
If I hear anyone gossiping or secretly slandering, damaging the honor of our clan, don't blame me for turning hostile!"
The whole scene fell silent, and the demons looked at each other, a fleeting shadow of gloom passing through their hearts. They felt unwilling but couldn't act out.
The Earth Demon Elephant Clan is now in power, and can only let Xiangyuan go crazy.
...
Several days have passed.
The Ancestral Demon Sect is thriving.
The number of followers is increasing.
It has even spread everywhere, with branches of the Ancestral Demon Sect in many cities, with a large scale and an extremely terrifying number.
Xiangshan is gradually becoming more and more blatant, arranging a unified dress code and identity tokens for the followers.
Looking around the streets and alleys of San Yuan City, the followers of the Ancestral Demon Sect can be seen almost everywhere.
It is quite spectacular.
In a certain pavilion, a pure-blooded Demon Race young master sits arrogantly in the center of the hall, listening to music. His eyes are fixed on the blurry and graceful figure behind the screen, with a lascivious gaze that is not concealed at all.
As the music ends, the young master of the pure-blooded family waves his hand and says, "This snake woman is good, take her away!"
Upon hearing this, an old woman in the pavilion quickly steps forward and says, "Young Master Lanshi, this girl... is new here, she only sells her art, not her body!"
The young master known as Lanshi raises an eyebrow upon hearing this and sneers, "Is this the first time I've come here? In this place of yours, where are there any rules about selling art but not the body?"
The old woman smiles bitterly and says, "Indeed, there weren't any before, but these past two days, there have been many girls like her! I can't do anything about it!"
Lanshi sneers, "That may be the case for others! Do you know my identity? If I want her, it's her good fortune accumulated over ten lifetimes. Go and ask her if she dares to refuse."
The commotion causes a great stir and immediately attracts the attention of countless guests.
"Isn't that Lanshi?"
"This guy is just a waste, with weak strength despite his pure bloodline. He indulges in pleasure all day long and can't do anything. Moreover, he has a wicked habit. Almost none of the female demons he takes away can survive for more than three days before being tortured to death!"
"What can be done? Who let him have good luck and be a pure-blood?"
The crowd sighs, shaking their heads and discussing.
"I refuse!"
At this moment, a faint voice trembles and speaks with some fear, but still firmly utters these words.
The scene erupts in an uproar.
Lanshi can't believe his ears, his face is dumbfounded, and then his expression twists in anger.
A lowly demon, a commodity selling smiles in the pavilion, dares to say no to him?
This is a shame, not only humiliating him, but also humiliating his entire family. If it were to spread... the entire Ancient Clan would lose face because of him.
"This is outrageous! Forcefully take her away, I want to see if her mouth is really this tough!"
"Don't touch me, I... I am from the Ancestral Demon Sect!" There is a chaotic commotion behind the screen as the woman screams in panic, struggling to run out and presenting a token.
"Heh, I knew you had such audacity because of this token..." Lanshi is momentarily stunned, then sneers and snatches the token, smashing it to pieces. "A bunch of lowly demons, do you really think that by gathering together, you can defy fate? That guy from the Earth Demon Elephant Clan was just playing with you like playing with dogs, and you actually believed it. Now you dare to resist me!"
"Take her away!"
At the command of Lan Si, his subordinates immediately rushed forward and restrained the woman, forcibly dragging her away.
"Stop!"
At the entrance, it was crowded with countless demons.
They looked at the scene here, looked at the snake woman being forcibly held down, and couldn't contain their anger: "Let her go! She's not here to sell herself. Who gave you the right to take her away?"
Lan Si walked out swaggeringly, looking down on the group of demons with disdain, and sneered, "Interesting, really interesting!"
He was so angry that his whole body trembled.
Today was truly unlucky. First, he was rejected by a lowly demon in the brothel. Then, a group of demons blocked his way.
Although Lan Si was a complete waste in the family, useless and without any value, the more so, the less he could accept these people who were even lower than him resisting him!
"Because this young master is pure-blooded, and you are lowly demons! So many people crowded here, what do you want? Stop me? Or do you want to attack me?"
Lan Si grinned and walked straight towards the countless demons, "You want her? It's simple, kill me, and you can take her away! Do you dare?"
With each step he took, the demons at the door retreated one step.
They gritted their teeth, their inner anger wanting to devour their entire bodies, but the instinctive fear of higher bloodlines accumulated over countless years continued to erode their courage.
Indeed.
With so many of them, they could definitely tear Lan Si apart, but what about afterwards?
As demons, killing the scion of a pure-blooded family!
This was a great crime!
The consequences were unimaginable!
Even now, they were backed by the Ancestral Demon Sect, but they still didn't dare. No one could guarantee that someone would protect them after they truly did this.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing the actions of these demons, Lan Si laughed triumphantly, his voice extremely unpleasant and grating.
The onlookers sighed and shook their heads.
Just as they said, how could demons possibly resist pure-blooded individuals?
This Ancestral Demon Sect was indeed a joke.
What were they expecting?
The snake woman who was forcibly restrained originally had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, but now that light dimmed.
However.
Just at this moment.
Boom!
A figure appeared silently, gripping Lan Si's neck, lifting him high, and fiercely smashing him down.
In an instant, the heavens and earth shook.
A terrifying deep pit appeared on the ground, with flying debris and the entire brothel was shaken. Buildings collapsed in a row on the street, creating a horrifying scene.
"It's Qingyun!"
The crowd exclaimed in surprise. Qingyun actually made a move and locked Lan Si's throat, directly slamming him into the ground.
He didn't kill him. Lan Si still had a breath left, his body completely deformed, his face twisted, with only his head left on the ground. "You... dare to touch me?"
Qingyun ignored him, not even giving him a glance, and stepped back to the side.
Only then did people notice that Xiangshan had already arrived at some point, separating the crowd and standing in front of Lan Si with an expressionless face. He said, "You dared to touch someone from my Ancestral Demon Sect, so why can't I touch you?"
Lan Si trembled and said, "You... you're really crazy, actually becoming enemies with me for a bunch of lowly creatures!"
Xiangshan remained calm, turned around, stood with his hands behind his back, and faced the crowd of Ancestral Demon Sect disciples behind him. He asked, "What is the purpose of the Ancestral Demon Sect?"
"Oppose oppression, equality among demons!" The response was weak and scattered, with most people still not recovering from the sudden turn of events.
"I can't hear you!" Xiangshan said lightly.
"Oppose oppression, equality among demons!" The voices became more organized, but still not loud enough.
"I can't hear you!" Xiangshan's eyes emitted a sharp light, his aura was like a rainbow, and behind him, demonic energy surged like an ocean, resembling ancient gods and the incarnation of divine beings.
"Oppose oppression, equality among demons!" This time, the shouts shook the heavens, and the clouds above their heads were shattered and scattered, causing the onlookers' hearts to skip a beat.
"If someone oppresses and suppresses our fellow brethren, what should we do?" Xiangshan's gaze was sharp as he asked in return.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The demons shouted in unison, their killing intent soaring. This area seemed like a battlefield, making people tremble in fear.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Xiangshan's gaze shifted, and he said softly, but it was like the decree of the King of Hell, designating someone's fate!
Upon hearing these words...
The demons instantly reacted, their eyes filled with murderous intent, all focused on Lan Si, like devouring beasts.
Lan Si's pupils contracted, an unprecedented fear rising in his heart, even his soul trembling.
"Xiangshan... you dare? You dare!!!!"
Xiangshan didn't say a word, he just waved his hand lightly.
In the next moment, the demons swarmed up, surrounding Lan Si tightly.
The sound of screams filled the air.
The haze that shrouded the top of San Yuan City was shattered.
It was as if a corner of the countless years of darkness that had enveloped the Demon Race's heads was lifted.
The onlookers were all shocked.
A moment of shock and speechlessness.
"The... world is about to change!"
...
In a certain teahouse.
A Demon Race with long golden hair down to their waist leaned against the window, drinking tea, calmly watching the scene below.
"It's about time, the heavens should change, and the net... should be closed!"
