Chapter 167 How Did I Offend the Grand Elder?
Steward of the Hidden Moon City Lord's Mansion!
When the manager was found, he was a little confused.
He knew that this Lord Ma had committed some crime and was to be captured by the disciples of the Demon God Palace and taken back to the imperial city, but someone had rescued him at the teleportation array.
The people at the teleportation array were all from the City Lord's Mansion, so the steward naturally knew that the person who saved Ma Gan also seemed to be from the Demon God Palace, because someone saw that the jade token she took out was very similar to that of the Demon God Palace.
But it was different; no one had ever seen such a jade plaque before.
The steward was very good at handling people. Upon seeing Qi Yan and Xue Huairui, he bowed before speaking and respectfully greeted them as "My Lords".
Isn't it strange that there are so many people?
Xue Huairui gestured for him to stand up, "I'm asking you, a few days ago..."
She looked at Magan, who understood and said, "Sir, my name is Magan."
The manager's eyes widened instantly: Didn't you say your name was Ma Aotian?!
"Looking up at the sky with a stick": Stage name, do you understand stage names?
"A few days ago, Magan escorted a girl out of the city to Xiaoyao City. Did you see the direction the girl went? Was it the direction of Xiaoyao City?"
"No."
To their surprise, the steward didn't even hesitate before asserting that Yun Zhao hadn't gone to Xiaoyao City.
"I remember it clearly. The girl went in the direction of the capital. At the time, I was thinking, didn't that girl not want to go home? Why is she training in the direction of the capital?"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ma Gan interjected.
The steward innocently replied, "Then I thought again, since Hidden Moon City is far from the imperial city, it's also a good place to gain experience."
“Our Hidden Moon City’s map is different from other places. Outsiders can’t read it. I thought you, Lord Ma, were using the excuse of training to trick that girl into returning to the capital.”
I must say, the person in charge really thinks a lot.
Fortunately, Yun Zhao's whereabouts have been discovered, so they can simply head to the capital to search for him.
Xue Huairui and Qi Yan wanted to leave, but Ma Gan shamelessly insisted on following them. "My lords, although I, Ma Gan, am not a big shot, I can still do something for you. Why don't you take me with you?"
"Our benefactor must have entered the Abyss of Despair. The more people searching for her, the sooner we'll find her."
He had his own ulterior motives. Xue Huairui was so powerful that the two inner palace disciples didn't dare utter a sound when they saw the jade token, and they let him go.
I don't know how he offended the Grand Elder, but since he's by Xue Huairui's side, I can at least hope that Xue Huairui will say a few good words for him.
Qi Yan had no objection; it didn't matter whether she brought them or not. However, Xue Huairui refused.
“I know what you’re thinking. I can only stop the Grand Elder from dealing with the people he wants to deal with for a while. You should stay in Hidden Moon City and settle your family in these days. At most, I will prevent the Grand Elder from harming your family.”
After saying that, Xue Huairui's expression turned strange: "The Grand Elder is a gentle person, how did you offend him? Why are you so angry?"
The Demon God Palace requires certain procedures and arrest warrants to arrest people. Sending people to arrest someone directly without any procedures is not the Grand Elder's usual practice.
He was extremely strict about rules and never abused his power for personal gain. The fact that there was no arrest warrant meant that Magan was not someone the Demon God Palace wanted to arrest, but rather a personal grudge of the Grand Elder.
Ma Gan was on the verge of tears: "I... I don't know either. How could I, a nobody, offend the Grand Elder?"
Nothing he said mattered; he could only pray that Xue Huairui could persuade the Grand Elder not to take his anger out on his family.
Inside the cultivation room, Yun Zhao was unaware that Qi Yan and Xue Huairui had come to see her. After refining the last pill, she slowly opened her eyes.
During this time, past events appeared one by one in her mind, and she remembered all the memories of her past life.
She was a demon goddess from the demon realm, unrestrained and free-spirited by nature. After exploring every corner of the demon realm, she went to the human territory with the Blood Protector Xue Huairui.
Xue Huairui's original name was "Xue". Ten thousand years ago, the demon race respected single characters. The name "Xue Huairui" was an alias she adopted when she followed Yun Zhao to the cultivation world.
With their cultivation level at the time, it would have been easy for the human race to conceal their true identities. After unexpectedly saving Zixu and Wuyou, Yun Zhao's playful nature was aroused, and she established Lingxu Palace as a rogue cultivator.
Of course, there was another reason for establishing Lingxu Palace: Yun Zhao saw the ruthlessness and inexplicable hostility of the righteous cultivators towards the demon and monster races. Once they discovered members of either race, regardless of whether they were good or bad, they would be exterminated.
They said, "Those who are not of our kind must have different hearts."
Dissatisfied, she established the Lingxu Palace, a place entirely populated by demons, vowing to lead it to become the most powerful force among humans and to thoroughly humiliate them.
Look at you, you hate the demons, yet the demons have built a huge power right under your noses, and you still flatter them.
Oh, by the way, Zixu and Wuyou are human. In fact, the entire Lingxu Palace, from the palace master and elders to the servants, is inhabited by demons, except for the two of them.
The demons that Yun Zhao usually "killed" were all sent to Xue Huairui. The good demons were given a new identity and appearance and recruited into Lingxu Palace, while the bad demons were imprisoned in the Demon God Palace dungeon.
The good demons were released and taken home, while the bad ones were killed and used as raw materials for alchemy and weapon crafting.
And so, little by little, Yun Zhao's reputation as a master demon slayer and the number one demon-slayer spread.
During this time, she met Qi Yan, the Demon Emperor at the time. Both of them concealed their identities and fell in love during their daily interactions...
Later, Xue Huairui sent her a message saying that someone had reported that Lingxu Palace was harboring demons, and other forces wanted her to come forward and explain, so she made an excuse to go back.
During the negotiations, some unexpected things happened. People from Lingxu Palace and other forces got into a fight. She also fought with several people. For some reason, when one of them injured her, she lost her memory.
What she lost were her memories of Qi Yan, and also the fact that she was a demon god. She thought she was a righteous cultivator, and that everyone in Lingxu Palace was human.
Therefore, all members of Lingxu Palace lived in constant fear, lest the Venerable One discover that they were demons and kill them with a single sword strike.
Where can they go to seek justice?
Is it the place of the King of Hell?
Later, when Qi Yan came looking for her, Yun Zhao saw that he was full of demonic energy, so she decisively ordered him to be captured and sent back to the demon realm.
Qi Yan stubbornly refused to leave Lingxu Palace and kept pestering her, telling her the story of how they met and fell in love.
Although Yun Zhao didn't believe that she, as a righteous cultivator, would fall in love with a demon, Qi Yan was simply too...beautiful, and she couldn't resist the temptation of her beauty...cough cough!
After some time, she regained her memories of being a demon god. Before she could find a suitable opportunity to humiliate the righteous cultivators, the aura of annihilation appeared.
The demon realm and the immortal realm can both close the passage to the cultivation realm. The aura of extinction cannot affect either realm. Yun Zhao can simply take everyone back to the demon realm and let the human race be devoured by the aura of extinction.
But she... softened her heart.
Many humans are good, and as the only god besides the Heavenly Way, He should protect the world.
Regardless of race.
