No hope for eternal life

Chapter 199 Demon Lianyue's Cultivation

Just as the two sisters Shangguan Qiong and Xiao Niansheng were debating, outside the sky, in the endless void, the battle between Mu Qunxian and the two black demons also ended with the end of the demon attack.

Mu Qunxian held the red sword blank in his hand, his whole body burning with flames, looking ready to attack again at any time.

The Black Devil stood calmly in the air, his hands behind his back, a signature smile on his face, and said with a click of the tongue: "We're fighting to the death here, but the deal has already been made over there. Tell me, who can we go to for justice? Why are we here?"

Mu Qun sneered and said, "Over the years, you have become more lithe in talking, but you have become weak in fighting. I think you are going backwards as you grow older."

The Black Demon continued cheerfully, "Not bad, not bad. I am not very good at fighting, but the purpose of cultivation is to achieve longevity and freedom. You all like to fight each other, which is really putting the cart before the horse."

"What a heresy." Mu Qunxian said coldly: "If you hadn't intervened today, I don't know how many monks would have survived this turmoil. Why don't you talk about the monks you killed?"

"Those people have lived a mediocre life. Isn't it a good thing if I help them to reincarnate sooner?" said the Black Demon with a smile.

Mu Qun snorted coldly, turned around and left. It was really meaningless to discuss human life and death with a thing that had no humanity at all.

Black Demon looked at Mu Qun's departing back and said with a smile: "If you ask me, you should learn how to behave like Shangguan Qiong and stop looking so bitter and resentful all the time."

In the Divine Guard City, the originally evenly matched and extremely fierce battle suddenly stopped, and all the monsters retreated like a tide.

"It must be that the strong ones of our human race defeated the strong ones of the demon race, and these demons escaped." Ji Leyao shouted excitedly.

Mu Changsheng frowned slightly, realizing that something was wrong. Although the demons retreated, they retreated in an orderly manner. They did not look like they were fleeing in panic at all. Moreover, the human army that came to support them from the Heavenly Spirit Realm also tacitly refrained from chasing after the demons.

At the same time, the leader of the demon army, who was also the snake demon monk from before, shouted arrogantly: "You only have one hour to evacuate. After one hour, this will be the territory of our demon clan, hahahaha..."

"The territory of the demon clan?" There was an uproar among the crowd, and most people didn't understand what was going on.

However, the appearance of two people solved the doubts of Mu Changsheng and others. They were Mo Lianyue and Ji Cunmao who had been fighting against the big monsters of the demon clan outside the sky.

"Mom." Mu Xun was a little surprised to see Mo Lianyue, and then he noticed that Mo Lianyue's face was pale, and she seemed to be in a bad state.

Mu Xun immediately thought that Mo Lianyue must have fought with the demon tribe, and asked quickly: "Are you injured?"

"It's okay, just a minor injury." Mo Lianyue waved her hand, then looked at the human army of the Tianling Realm and shouted in a deep voice: "Demon monks, step out."

Following Mo Lianyue's order, tens of thousands of monks walked out from the army and half-knelt to salute: "Greetings, Mother."

Tens of thousands of people saluted together, the shouts shook the sky, it was a spectacular and breathtaking sight.

As everyone knows, the two major sects have very few disciples, only a few hundred in total, so the vast majority of the reinforcements from the Tianling Realm this time are cultivators from the Demon Clan.

"Both sides will cease fighting for one hour. After one hour, except for the Shenfeng Kingdom, the rest of the land south of the Huanglong River will be the territory of the demon clan. Within this hour, you must do your best to help the human race in various places move to a safe place to avoid being slaughtered by the demon clan." Mo Lianyue gave orders to the demons.

"We will follow the orders of our clan mother." The demons obeyed the order and left. Other supporting monks from the Tianling Realm also followed the demons' example and left to help the scattered humans in various places to relocate.

Mu Changsheng was immersed in shock. Almost half of the Tianshuang Realm had become the territory of the demon clan. This was really unbelievable. They had clearly turned the disadvantage around, so why should they cede the territory to the demon clan?

Hu Bingchen, the ruler of the Divine Protection Nation, was just as confused as Mu Changsheng. Hu Bingchen questioned You Poling in public: "What qualifications do you, the Tianling Sect and the Lingshan Sect, have to cede our territory to the demon race?"

You Po Ling came all the way to support, but was questioned and insulted instead, so he spoke bluntly: "If you have the ability, go find the demon tribe and take back the territory yourself."

"It turns out that the two major sects decided to cede the territory to the demon clan." Mu Changsheng obtained this key information from the conversation between Hu Bingchen and the other man, but he also found it difficult to understand the actions of the two major sects.

Mo Lianyue was not interested in the quarrel between You Poling and the other two, and flew away with Mu Changsheng, Mu Xun and Yang Wuque.

Ji Cunmao had been staring at Mo Lianyue's figure until she left, his brows still furrowed. In the previous battle, Mo Lianyue fought against several great monsters without losing the upper hand. Her fighting power really surprised him, and he had a suspicion in his heart: "Could it be that she has already touched the level of the ninth realm!"

Logically speaking, it should be a good thing for the human race to have a new peak ninth realm powerhouse at this time, but in Ji Cunmao's opinion, if that person is Mo Lianyue, it would be a mixed blessing.

Finally, Ji Cunmao turned to look at Hu Bingchen and advised: "Fellow Daoist Hu, the die is cast and the situation is irreversible. You should still consider the surviving cultivators in your country. If you don't mind, you can return to the Sub-Saint Realm with me. My clan will definitely give you a place to recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bingchen's expression finally relaxed. Among the three major families of the human race, the Ji family has the best reputation, and going to the Sub-Saint Realm seems to be the best choice at the moment.

"Brother Ji, what are you talking about? The Ji family is known for its benevolence and righteousness, and everyone in the world knows about it. How dare I despise it?" Hu Bingchen said politely. He would be living under someone else's roof in the future, so he must establish a good relationship with Ji Cunmao.

On the other side, Mo Lianyue and her group of four were on their way back, and Mu Xun was the first to ask: "Why did the Tianling Sect and Lingshan Sect cede their territory to the demon clan?"

Mo Lianyue replied softly: "Every extra moment of fighting will result in countless deaths in this war. Ceding the territory is the fastest and most reliable solution."

“In this case, aren’t you afraid of raising a tiger and causing trouble, and the demon tribe becoming more and more aggressive?” Yang Wuque also asked.

Mo Lianyue shook her head slightly and said, "There are some things you don't understand. Since the Tiansheng calendar, the demon race has gone through six generations of demon masters, all of whom are talented and strategic. In addition, the demon race is weak and particularly united. Over the years, the demon race has accumulated extremely deep power and is no longer as weak and vulnerable as it was in the era of the Sub-Sage Emperor. On the contrary, we humans are not united, or we are very disunited. In this war, the Black Demon personally came out to help the demon race. In a sense, today's attack by the demon race is not accidental, but inevitable."

Yang Wuque fell silent upon hearing this, realizing that this involved some of the highest-level struggles among the human race. It would be useless even if he knew about it, as he was powerless to do anything.

Then, Mo Lianyue sighed, "Moreover, the demon race has a good sense of proportion. If they want to swallow up the entire Tianshuang Realm right away, they will probably provoke strong resistance from the vast majority of humans, and it will be difficult for them to succeed. As for the half-realm, I'm afraid not many people really care about it. After all, the human race has eight realms, so what's the harm in losing half a realm?"

"If you stand from the perspective of the demon race, you will find that their actions this time are not only fast, accurate, and ruthless, but also have remarkable effects."

Mu Changsheng and the other two became even more silent as they listened, their hearts shrouded in a shadow of worry because of the demon clan.

Seeing this, Mo Lianyue stopped talking about the demon race and started talking about another matter: "Mr. Yang, can you tell me about your past experience of becoming possessed by the devil?"
