Above all spirits

Chapter 197 Returning to Canglan (Part 2)

"To bring forth the Heavenly Demon? How?"

"How else can we promote it? By dispelling demonic energy."

Gu Yun was startled, realizing an unlikely possibility.

"To turn all six major families into demons? That shouldn't be possible."

"Only an excessive amount of demonic energy can lead to becoming a demon. Didn't you say you didn't have that much demonic energy?"

But this impossibility at hand can connect everything.

If the six major families, the entire Canglan Empire, and even the entire Canglan Star are transformed into demons, then the requirement of a sufficient number of demons is definitely met.

"When negative emotions such as fear and despair are rampant, even a small amount of demonic energy can form a demonic seed, which can lead to inner demons and ultimately demonic transformation."

"what?!"

Damn!

The most direct infusion of fear is killing.

Gu Yun used all his skills, and the golden light flowing around him intensified, causing him to accelerate once again.

The sealed power was slightly loosening, and the aura on his body was faintly rising to the pseudo-innate level under this full force, so much so that it inadvertently affected the power of the rules of this world a few times.

...

The Canglan Empire, the capital city of the Ji family.

A thick fog had now enveloped the entire empire, and even the border towns were shrouded in mist.

The entire capital city, located at the heart of the empire, is now a vast expanse of white.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky, and dark clouds covered the heavens, yet not a single drop of rain fell. It was as if a hand had gripped the heavens by the throat, obscuring their eyes, creating an eerie and oppressive atmosphere.

At this time, the Ji family compound was littered with corpses, and the walls were stained with blood.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be found that those killed were only servants and juniors of the clan, or other people of varying cultivation levels and status.

Inside the Ji family courtyard.

A man with a full head of white hair and terrifying, sinister green eyes stood with one foot on a pile of corpses.

Gray demonic energy rose from his body from within. He had some sword wounds, but none of them were fatal; they were just minor cuts. These wounds were healing at a visible speed as the demonic energy swirled around him.

Holding a knife in one hand, he looked mockingly at the man panting heavily in front of him and chuckled sinisterly.

"Ji Xiao, you are quite a figure. Even your Ji family patriarch, who was at the peak of the Holy Body, has been captured alive. His Dao heart has been lost, his demonic seed has shattered, and he is already showing signs of turning into a demon. I really don't know what you are still insisting on?"

"The entire Canglan Star has now activated its star-protecting array, the teleportation arrays have been sealed, and the teleportation arrays of the surrounding stars have all been destroyed. Why not join my Heavenly Demon Clan directly? If you can accept, they will not die because of you."

"Although your sword intent is very powerful, it can even combine soul power and saintly energy. Unfortunately, you are only a ninth-level saintly body. The wounds you inflicted on me can heal in no more than four or five breaths."

The man before them, his robes soaked in crimson, glaring angrily at the white-haired man with a sword in hand, was none other than Ji Xiao. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered.

"I never expected the Canglan royal family to be such a den of demons. Hehehe, I've lived all these years in vain. I can't believe it, and I can't even imagine it."

"Cough cough."

"Emperor Canglan, no, Wan Wujiang, you really think highly of me. A mere Ji family has actually sent two Heavenly Demon Sin Envoys to come in person."

"Cough cough."

Ji Xiao gazed in the direction of the Canglan Imperial Capital, his eyes filled with a deathly resolve.

This fog that shrouded the empire was no ordinary fog. When inhaled, it initially caused no sensation, and everyone thought it was just a normal change in weather. But they only realized the truth when the incident occurred.

Once this mist enters the body, it will be activated by any negative emotions, constantly eroding the body. The stronger the negative emotions, the faster it will be eroded, eventually forming a demonic seed. Under extreme emotional conditions, the demonic seed will shatter and transform into a demon.

In the Ji family today, all members of the middle and upper ranks have been implanted with demonic seeds.

In a situation where one's wife, children, and relatives are brutally murdered before one's eyes, who could remain calm and composed?

There's even a subtle tendency for it to become demonic.

If it weren't for his imperial-level sword intent and his already considerable mental endurance, which gave him strong resistance to this kind of demonic energy erosion, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.

What am I holding onto?

Yes, what am I still holding on to?

The Star Protection Array is activated.

Outsiders can no longer easily enter Canglan Star.

The discussions between myself and Gu Moshi were all centered around the royal family's unification of the six major families, the plan to wage a star war, and the main route to seize the core of the star. The initial intention was only to build a teleportation array to leave myself a way out.

Who would have thought the fish behind them was so big?

Who could have predicted that this fish would move so quickly?

The Canglan Royal Family, the Heavenly Demon Clan, the Heavenly Demons...

If this hadn't happened today, who could have imagined it?!

That old fox Wan Wujiang was hiding his true intentions so well!

Fortunately, Ji Ning was away on Chiyan Star and not here, otherwise all the direct descendants of the Ji family would probably have become demons and servants of the Heavenly Demons.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Ji Xiao took a deep breath to relieve his physical fatigue. With the other party's abilities, they shouldn't be locked in a stalemate with him.

Cherish talent?

Do you want to become a demon?

He didn't believe it.

The white-haired man gave a chilling smile and said.

"Naturally, we'll wait for the people behind your Ji family to get involved."

"Eliminate him as a variable."

Ji Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"The person behind it...?"

Are they referring to Gu Yun?

Is Gu Yun a variable?

"Who are you talking about as the person behind this?"

The current situation is almost a dead end for him, but he has become calm and has even started asking questions.

At worst, I'll die; what is there to fear?

"Hehehe, I don't know who it is."

The white-haired man made no attempt to hide his feelings, speaking coldly.

"Anyway, my mission with Furious is to wait for this variable from your Ji family to appear, then kill him, and then wipe out everyone who doesn't have the tendency to become a demon. It's that simple."

"As for who it is, maybe it's the demon you've been working with. Hehehe, I've never killed a demon before, this is interesting. Now I'm actually hoping it's him."

"But you're a weirdo too, preferring to make a deal with the devil rather than join the Heavenly Demon Clan."

Ji Xiao frowned and retorted.

“Gu Moshi is far more upright than you filthy worms.”

The white-haired man snorted coldly, waved to the side, and casually stuck the knife in his hand vertically into the ground, the blade easily disappearing into the soil.

This is enough to show that this knife is extraordinary.

Then, he raised his hand and channeled his energy, causing gray mist to rise. He then forcefully sucked in the person being dragged forward by the two demons, firmly embedding the person's neck into his palm.

"Alright, alright, you know you're going to die and you still jumped up for me."

"Let's try one last time. I really don't believe that someone with the Emperor's Will can't become a demon."

"You haven't forgotten this person, have you? Do you need me to remind you?"

"His name is Ji Chang, right?"
