Chapter 2300: Shadow Demon

?

Que Zang's entire body turned frighteningly red. His eyes filled with murderous intent as if he was about to go berserk. The Mad Monk title wasn't just a decoration.

"Calm down," Yun Lintian reached out to pat Que Zang's shoulder.

"Who is it?" Que Zang uttered coldly as he stared at Yue Lan with red eyes.

His Senior Brother Mu Zang was like a biological brother to him. They grew up together from as early as he could remember. The two went from beggars to sheepherders and finally entered the Divine Temple to become monks. Que Zang couldn't accept the fact that his Senior Brother was gone.

"He sacrificed himself to seal the cracks on the Primal Chaos Wall," Yue Lan said softly.

Que Zang slumped back to his seat upon hearing this. "No way... Why?" he murmured in a daze.

"Three hundred thousand years ago, several cracks appeared on the Primal Chaos Wall, and many Shadow Demons poured into the Primal Chaos. Countless lives were lost that day. Your Senior Brother was on his way to visit the God of Order and happened to encounter a horde of Shadow Demons. He exterminated them and went straight to the wall," Yue Lan said gently. "While the God of Order and the others were on their way, your Senior Brother decided to use his life to block the enemy in an attempt to delay the Shadow Demon Generals from entering the Primal Chaos. When the God of Order and the War God arrived, he was on his last leg and used the sealing technique to patch the cracks."

"Senior Brother, he..." Que Zang's entire body trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes. He had zero doubt in the story as Mu Zang was the kindest person he had ever encountered in his life. He wouldn't hesitate to use his life to save others.

"Your Senior Brother is a hero," Yue Lan said softly. "Unfortunately, the God of Order was too rigid. He didn't allow anyone to release you even though your Senior Brother had sacrificed his life."

Que Zang didn't say anything. He was well aware of the God of Order's extremely strict personality. It was impossible for him to bend the rules. Otherwise, Ji Xiaoman wouldn't have been imprisoned for her crime that wasn't even a crime from the beginning.

On the side, Yun Lintian frowned deeply. The Shadow Demon, the Primal Chaos Wall-they were perfectly aligned with the story he heard inside the Moon Graveyard back in the God Tomb. What he saw that day would definitely happen here in the near future.

A sense of urgency emerged in Yun Lintian's heart. He suddenly felt he must do something to prevent the incident. But what could he do?

Yue Lan turned to look at Yun Lintian and said, "I suspect that the leader behind the Nine Hells Gate is one of the Shadow Demon Generals."

"Shadow Demon General..." Yun Lintian suddenly thought of something and asked, "Yin Ye, did he...?"

"Very likely. He must have learned one or two things from the Shadow Demon Clan," Yue Lan said softly.

"No wonder..." Yun Lintian immediately understood. He always felt that Yin Ye's mastery over the Law of Shadow was too strong. It could even break one of the Four Great Laws, like the Law of Space... The Law of Space that he, Yun Lintian, wielded.

One had to know that Yun Lintian possessed the Spatial Wheel, and he was confident that his understanding of the Law of Space was beyond anyone aside from the Void God himself. Yet, Yin Ye could easily break the pocket dimension he created.

"Can you tell me more about these Shadow Demons, Senior? Who are they?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.

"As you might probably know, there are spaces beyond the Primal Chaos. We normally call it the Realm of Shadow. These Shadow Demons are the natives there. Over the years, they have been trying to invade the Primal Chaos but ultimately failed," Yue Lan explained.

"Their strength is something we cannot understand. They wield various laws related to the Law of Space and Shadow. Even the Void God has a hard time dealing with them. The Shadow Demon Generals are similar to True Gods, and there are higher demons above them."

Yun Lintian and Yun Wushuang were shocked upon hearing this. Wouldn't this mean there were Shadow Demons that were on par with the Primordial Gods?

"Wait a minute. Three hundred thousand years ago..." Yun Lintian suddenly thought of something. He remembered the Scholar God and the other Primordial Gods seemed to collectively disappear from public during that time.

"Your guess is not far from the truth," Yue Lan said gently. "Some of the Primordial Gods have left the Primal Chaos. I also suspect that the God of Death was the first one who left the Primal Chaos two million years ago."

Yun Lintian frowned deeply. He couldn't understand why they had to risk their lives venturing into the unknown outside the wall. What could possibly attract them to leave the Primal Chaos unguarded?

"Who's staying behind?" Yun Lintian asked.

"As far as I know, the Scholar God should still be here as well as the God of Time," Yue Lan replied.

Yun Lintian nodded slowly. With the God of Time here, the Primal Chaos should be safe. After all, he was certain the God of Time was the actual strongest among the Primordial Gods in both worlds.

"The God of Order has left as well?" Que Zang raised his head and asked. His eyes brimmed with anger. If it weren't for the God of Order, his Senior Brother wouldn't have gone to visit him and lost his life on the way.

"I know you are furious, but it is unfair to blame him. And yes, the God of Order has left," Yue Lan tried to persuade Que Zang as she didn't want to see him die pointlessly.

"I see," Que Zang calmed down and drank a few mouthfuls of wine. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Yun Lintian had no time to pay attention to Que Zang. He was thinking about the entire situation. Could his world be the same? Was there the Shadow Demon as well?

From the "prophecy" he saw in the God Tomb, it seemed the Shadow Demons would eventually break into this Primal Chaos. Wouldn't this mean the Primordial Gods failed to

stop them?

Several questions appeared in Yun Lintian's mind, and he had no answer.

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and looked at Yue Lan. "If you believe me, Senior, you must prepare for a war from now on."
