Chapter 123: Possessed By The Devil
Nangong Mi was once a disciple of the Nangong Family.
But now, he was a fugitive of the Nangong Family.
He had absorbed power from his companions and escaped with the cultivation techniques from the Nangong Family. So now, he had traveled all the way to the East Continent to hide.
He has been in hiding for a hundred years now.
He was always very discreet whenever he absorbed the blood and essence of others.
And after the absorption was completed, he would clear all his traces and went back to lurking in the shadows.
When he saw the chaos in Zhongzhou, Nangong Mi took the opportunity to return to Zhongzhou to absorb more cultivators’ blood and essence, rapidly improving his cultivation level.
At that time, he had also started accepting followers.
After a period of slow development, demons started arriving in the East Continent.
He took advantage of the chaos and returned to the East Continent too.
As the Evil Gang grew bigger and bigger, it accidentally exposed itself.
When the East Continent was dealing with the demons, Nangong Mi took this opportunity to grow.
He took in many masters from large families as his followers.
With the help of these large families, Nangong Mi evolved to become someone who was well hidden, protected and difficult to attack.
Ever since he got involved with these large families, Nangong Mi also became a pawn for them to use to get rid of their opponents.
And the more he fought, the stronger he got.
The Evil Gang soon become a hindrance to the people of the East Continent.
The Evil Gang was full of masters and disciples of major families.
This time unfortunately, they had provoked the Xu Family.
“The Xu Family’s well of prenatal qi… sigh,” Nangong Mi thought to himself. “Forget it. I’ll just quietly develop in Zhongzhou first, and then I can come back after I’ve taken my revenge. I wonder if the old man from the Tian Family managed to escape? With him around, the Evil Gang should be alright.”
He wrapped his hands in animal skin then disappeared back into the cave.
Meanwhile, Li Mu and Xu Xiao continued to try and tease more information out of each other a few more times.
They didn’t learn anything new however, so the conversation finally ended.
After Xu Xiao left, Li Mu cast his divine consciousness onto the round plate in his hand to hone on it.
The Xu Family had lost two things:
A piece of treasure and a key.
The round plate in his hand was the Xu Family’s treasure. But what about the Xu Family’s key?
What key was it?
“The Xu Family is so skilful. Why haven’t they found the things they lost? Then again, Xu Dong stole the treasures, and he’s also very skilful.”
As he sat in the attic, Li Mu began to think about his conversation with Xu Xiao.
He tried to figure out what clues he could infer from their talks together.
“Hmm. I may have revealed a bit too much today.”
Only then did Li Mu realize that during their talks, he had zoomed in right away on changing the bloodline.
He had been too anxious.
Forget it.
Xu Xiao would probably think that he was deliberately trying to be mysterious.
Li Mu stayed in the attic for two more months.
Meanwhile, the demon in the East Continent had lost touch with the Qianyuan Sacred Ground for a while.
Thanks to the Xu Family, Muyang City quickly reverted to its former prosperity.
“I heard that the Evil Gang has appeared in Zhongzhou.”
“The people there deserve it. The Evil Gang first came to the East Continent because of the people of Zhongzhou.”
“Brothers, shall we go to Zhongzhou to help the Evil Gang?”
The warriors were having a discussion in the restaurant below Li Mu’s attic.
Li Mu retracted his divine consciousness with a surprised look on his face.
“There’s a demon in Zhongzhou? How interesting.”
In the past, Zhongzhou used to release demons in many other places, but now, the demons had come back.
After the chaos in Zhongzhou, there weren’t many masters left.
“Zhongzhou is doomed this time!”
Two months later, before Xu Xiao came to visit again, Li Mu received some important news.
The Evil Gang of Zhongzhou had swept through the Taiyue Sacred Ground and was heading towards the Qingmu Sacred Ground at the south.
The masters of the Qianyuan Sacred Ground were restrained by the masters of the East Continent and the North Continent, and were unable to fight back.
“The people in this part of the world are really disgusting!”
Two days later, Li Mu received another piece of even more disgusting news.
The demon did not dare to stay in the East Continent and it had immediately flown to the South Continent.
“What’s the matter with this demon? It dares to attack the people in the South Continent?”
He felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
When Li Mu returned to Muguang Mountain, the Evil Gang had already occupied the Xia Mu Holy Land, but they did not dare to climb over Muguang Mountain.
Evidently, the Evil Gang was also afraid of the South Continent Virtual Realm master in the mountains.
Before long, Li Mu discovered that many disciples of the Evil Gang had disguised themselves as members of the the South Continent family and quietly climbed over Muguang Mountain.
“Are they being instigated by the people of Zhongzhou or do they really want to die?”
Li Mu threw his Phoenix Blood Sword, beheading all the disguised demons.
He glared at them as his eyes narrowed to sharp slits.
Zhongzhou was really greedy and it kept cultivating demons to harm the other continents, just to channel qi.
Originally, Li Mu had wanted to help Zhongzhou eliminate the demon, but he changed his mind.
“They’re so pathetic, forget it!”
He returned to the vitality pit to practice in isolation, leaving behind a trace of divine consciousness in Muguang Mountain,
Meanwhile, on the golden lotus in Qianyuan Sacred Ground, the old man with long eyebrows only had one piece of skin left and his eyes were glazed over.
“Without qi, I am going to die. I can’t die like this! The Qianyuan family can’t just die like this!”
The once golden lotus was now mostly gray.
When the golden lotus fully diminished, his body and soul would die.
“Ancestor, I caught a demon.”
“Just kill it!” The old man with long eyebrows frowned.
Wasn’t it just a small demon?
“Ancestor, this demon is the ancestor of the the East Continent’s Tian Family.”
“From the Tian Family? Bring him in.” The old man’s eyes flashed with hatred.
When Qianyuan Sacred Ground was just about to unify Zhongzhou, it was the Tian Family who sent people to stop them, giving the other Sacred Grounds time to unite.
“So you’re the legendary ancestor of the Qianyuan Sacred Ground. How are you still alive?”
The person was in a cage.
His body was covered with bronze chains.
His black skin festered and there were webs between his fingers.
The old man with long eyebrows closed his eyes. “I’m dying.”
“Didn’t you channel qi to increase your lifespan? I want longevity too, but I am in much better condition than you.”
“We are not the same. At least I’m still a human.”
“You’re a human? For the sake of the South Continent’s qi, you caused bloodshed throughout all of South Continent and forced the people to become slaves of the Zhongzhou people.”
“In order to get the East Continent’s qi, you have harmed the entire East Continent. But I only need to harm a few people to achieve longevity and achieve breakthroughs. Haha! Compared to me, you’re the one who looks like a demon,” the demon said with a smile.
He bared the fangs in his mouth.
“Hehe! It’s rare that you are still sane. Even if you break through by stealing other people’s power, what can you do,” the old man with long eyebrows said disdainfully. “In the end, you will still be a slave to other demon.”
“It’s better than plundering other people’s qi. Look at you. You look like a ghost. People call you a beast. They hate you more than they hate us. Haha!”
“Take him away!” The old man with long eyebrows narrowed his eyes.
He was here to watch the Tian Family beg for mercy, but he didn’t expect to be ridiculed instead.
The old man with long eyebrows closed his eyes and thought to himself: “Do I really have such a bad reputation?”
Under him, another petal of the golden lotus greyed out.
Two years later, Zhongzhou was eventually occupied by the Evil Gang, leaving the entire of Zhongzhou covered in bloodshed.
A figure flew away from Snow City.
Half a year later, the South Continent received a piece of shocking news.
The ancestors of the Qianyuan Sacred Ground had become possessed by the devil and become the most powerful demon in the world.
Boom!
Every family in the South Continent was in danger.
Half a month later, the news reached Zhongzhou.
Everyone in the Xu Family was stunned.
“What does that old man mean by this? He became possessed by the devil just to increase his lifespan and to break through”
