No hope for eternal life

Chapter 494 The Secret of the 9 Demon Realm

Demon Emperor Bai Xun personally ordered that no more wars be fought between the demon realms, so Mu Changsheng could no longer use the war between the two realms to divert the attention of the Ape Demon King. As a result, Mu Changsheng was always suspected by the Ape Demon King, and the Ape Demon King might not be able to resist attacking him one day, and once the Ape Demon King attacked, his identity would be exposed.

"At least I have to figure out the secret of the Nine Infants' fire magic before my identity is exposed." Mu Changsheng said to himself. He was not afraid of his identity being exposed. Ever since he agreed to go undercover in the Heavenly Demon Realm, he had been prepared to sacrifice this clone. He was just afraid that his clone's death would be in vain.

If he could find a way to speed up his body refining before his clone died, then it would be a worthy death. Now the secret of the Nine Infants Clan's fire magic is very likely the key to Mu Changsheng's accelerated body refining.

Mu Changsheng decided to follow Xiao Niansheng's suggestion and capture a cultivator from the Jiuying clan alive and study him first.

Fortunately, there are still two of the divine incarnations that Mu Changsheng had released before. In terms of combat power, capturing a cultivator from the Nine Infants clan alive is not a problem. The only problem is how to capture him.

According to what Mu Changsheng knew, the cultivators of the Nine Infants Clan all lived in the ancestral land of the Nine Infants Clan for generations and seldom went out. Even if they did, they were escorted by strong men. Because it was extremely difficult for the Nine Infants Clan to reproduce, every Nine Infants cultivator was highly cared for.

"With the combat power of my divine incarnation, it is not a problem to deal with ordinary Divine Sea Realm cultivators. But I am afraid that the other party has a protective device. If I fail in one strike, it will be difficult to succeed again." Mu Changsheng thought to himself that he must find an opportunity to capture the Nine Infants cultivator in one fell swoop.

To this end, Mu Changsheng arranged two incarnations of divine power to patrol near the Nine Demon Territory, hoping to encounter a lone Nine Infants monk.

After several days, Mu Changsheng's divine incarnation did encounter many Nine Infants cultivators near the Nine Demon Realm, but behind every Nine Infants cultivator who passed by there was at least one Divine Sea Realm expert secretly protecting him. Out of caution, he did not act rashly for fear of alerting the enemy.

Just when Mu Changsheng was getting anxious, Yuan Lie suddenly showed up and found him, saying, "The Ying Qing you defeated before is here to challenge you, and is waiting for you in your cave."

"Ying Qing." Mu Changsheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately thought about whether he could take Ying Qing as a capture target.

Yuan Lie continued to speak to himself: "The Demon King means that you should build a good relationship with Ying Qing. Even if you can win, don't let the other party lose too badly."

"As you command." Mu Changsheng said hurriedly. For him, no matter whether Ying Qing could become his capture target or not, having more contact with the other party would only have benefits and no disadvantages.

"Go, Yingqing is still waiting for you." Yuan Lie waved his hand and said.

"Yes." Mu Changsheng hurried back to the cave.

After returning to the cave, Mu Changsheng saw Ying Qing as expected. He also noticed that Ying Qing's secret guard also had the cultivation level of the Divine Sea Realm.

In this way, at least this time Mu Changsheng has no intention of attacking Ying Qing.

"Let's deal with him first. It would be best if I can win his favor." Mu Changsheng said to himself.

As soon as Ying Qing saw Mu Changsheng, he shouted, "Come on, come on, you didn't win honorably last time, let's compete again."

"It won't make any difference if we compare again." Mu Changsheng replied, appropriately showing a bit of pride of a genius.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng had another match with Ying Qing. Needless to say, Mu Changsheng won just because he wanted to. At the same time, Mu Changsheng didn't use too much force, so Ying Qing didn't lose so badly.

"You guy, your divine power is so deep." Ying Qing said depressedly.

"It's just a little deeper than yours. If you hold on a little longer, I won't be able to hold on." Mu Changsheng responded modestly.

"Are you kidding me?" Ying Qing asked suspiciously. At the same time, he secretly sent a message to Mu Changsheng: "Actually, the reason I came to you today is not to compete with you. The main purpose is to recruit you on behalf of my demon king."

"Recruit me?" Mu Changsheng was instantly tempted, because he was deeply suspected by the Ape Demon King in the Ape Demon Realm. If he went to the Nine Demon Realm, his situation would definitely be much better. Moreover, it would be more convenient for him to capture the Nine Infants monk in the Nine Demon Realm.

In fact, Mu Changsheng had thought about joining other domains before, but he was worried that if the demon kings of other demon domains refused to accept him, he would not be tolerated by the Ape Demon King. Now the Nine Infants Demon King took the initiative to recruit him, which was simply great.

Mu Changsheng suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "How dare I coax Brother Ying? The reputation of your Nine Infants clan is well-known in the demon world. I am lucky to be able to defeat you."

In secret, Mu Changsheng asked Ying Qing through voice transmission: "If I surrender to the Nine Demon Realm, the Ape Demon King will not come to trouble me, right?"

This is exactly what Mu Changsheng was worried about. If he defected to the Nine Demon Realm, the Ape Demon King would become so angry that he would personally ask the Nine Infants Demon King for the person. There was no guarantee that the Nine Infants Demon King would not give the Ape Demon King some face.

"You can rest assured about this. My demon king chose you. Even if the ape demon king is unwilling, he dare not say anything." Ying Qing quickly explained: "Didn't you find that when facing my demon king, the ape demon king dare not offend him at all? There is actually a big secret behind this, but it is not convenient to tell you."

"Secret?" Mu Changsheng's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately started to think about it. Why did he come to the Heavenly Demon Realm as an undercover? Naturally, finding out the secrets of the demon clan was the top priority.

Just as Ying Qing said, Mu Changsheng had long noticed that the Ape Demon King's attitude towards the Nine Infants Demon King was humble to the point of flattery when facing him. Even in this competition between juniors, the Ape Demon King specifically told him not to offend Ying Qing. This was indeed a bit abnormal.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng, who had originally intended to switch to the Nine Demon Realm, no longer hesitated. In addition to his original goal of capturing a Nine Infants cultivator for research, he had another goal when he went to the Nine Demon Realm, which was to find out what the secret that Ying Qing was talking about was. Mu Changsheng had a vague intuition that this secret might be extremely important.

"Thanks to King Jiuying for his trust in me, I am willing to join him." Mu Changsheng replied to Ying Qing through voice transmission.

"You will definitely not regret this decision." Ying Qing showed a slight smile on his face.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and Ying Qing quickly agreed on the time and place. Three days later, near the White Fox City at the junction of the two domains, Ying Qing would bring the strong men from the Nine Demon Domain to meet him.

In the following three days, Mu Changsheng continued to pretend that nothing had happened and searched for treasure in the Ape Demon Realm, but without making a sound, he was gradually approaching the border between the two realms.

Of course, during this process, Yuan Lie was still following Mu Changsheng.
