He turned to Yu Su. “Ms. Yu, if you have a way to break the curse, please save us. The Daoist disciples of Mount Zhongnan are sworn to protect the world. If one day Mount Zhongnan falls, those people tainted by demonic energy will descend upon the world without restraint.” That would be the beginning of chaos.
Yu Su pondered for a moment and nodded, proposing a condition. “I can find the source of the curse, but in exchange, I’d like to add another condition.” Her previous condition was to meet the Thunder God, but the situation had changed, and so must her request.
Yu Su could feel that the demonic energy was inextricably linked to Sacred Blood. If she didn’t seize this opportunity to learn more, it would be difficult to do so later.
“Please share.” Wang Luo was extremely excited.
Yu Su replied, “I want to know everything about demonic energy.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Luo immediately calmed down and he looked troubled. He glanced at Yu Su and said slowly, “Ms. Yu, it’s not that I don’t want to agree, but the idea of the demonic energy is just my speculation. I don’t even have the authority to know about it, let alone help you apply for it.”
Wang Luo was truly afraid. If the Second Elder found out, he might be imprisoned in the back mountain as well.
Lu Feng couldn’t help but say, “Just say we discovered it ourselves. We won’t betray you.”
“This…” Wang Luo pondered the feasibility, his expression hesitant. “Demonic energy is a taboo topic in Mount Zhongnan. I’m afraid I’ll be kicked out by the Elders if I mention it.” He didn’t dare to talk about such a topic at all.
However, Yu Su said firmly, “Don’t worry, we already knew about the demonic aura before we came to Mount Zhongnan. Besides, we also have something to discuss with the elders about the demonic energy. You just have to report it.”
Wang Luo looked suspicious. He suspected that Yu Su was only saying these words to deceive him.
Yu Su added, “I know more than you think. I’ve personally seen someone emerge from that crack.”
Wang Luo jumped up from his seat, his face filled with terror and turning pale. “Miss Yu, you can’t joke about this. There are countless seals and various magical artifacts suppressing the back mountain. It’s impossible for demons to get out…”
He got goosebumps. If those people came out, the world would be in chaos. Wang Luo could already imagine the devastation and couldn’t help but shiver.
“Demons?” Yu Su pondered the word, her eyes lit up. “What else are you hiding? Are you still trying to keep it from us?”
No wonder Peng Chan was so arrogant. So, those people had already formed a race? What a massive group they must be.
Wang Luo gritted his teeth and finally spoke up, “I heard about demons from Steward Mo when he was delirious. He was mumbling in his sleep, and there were a few vague words that might be related to demons.”
“Speak,” Wen Chuan said coldly, his expression serious.
Wang Luo said slowly, “Sacred Blood… Demon’s Lair… Illusionary Technique… Those are the only words I could hear clearly.”
Sacred Blood? Yu Su’s eyebrows raised. The demonic energy was indeed related to him. The trace of the Sacred Blood was in the back mountain.
Yu Su continued, “How does Mount Zhongnan manage the prison in the back mountain?”
“With formation seals. In addition, the Second Elder visits the back mountain from time to time to check on the imprisoned demon children,” Wang Luo replied.
Leng Yan was stunned. “What are demon children?”
Wang Luo explained, “I don’t know either. Every time the Second Elder comes down the mountain, he brings back some demon children. I guess the adults have been killed, and these children have become demon children.” As he said this, someone knocked on the door.
“Lunch is ready. Please come out and eat.”
“Got it,” Xiao Han replied to the outside. The group exchanged glances and decided to eat first.
Before leaving the room, Yu Su looked at Wang Luo. “Find a way to contact the Great Elder. I want to see him.”
Wang Luo made a bitter face. “Ms. Yu, first of all, I’m just a low-level servant. And the Great Elder is currently in seclusion. How could I possibly see him?” It was really difficult for him.
Yu Su thought for a moment and smiled. “Go find Steward Mo. Just say that to break the curse, I need the Great Elder’s help.”
“Alright, I’ll try,” Wang Luo sighed. He felt like he was going on a suicide mission.
The few of them walked to the living room. The merchants had already started eating lunch. Someone led Yu Su and the others to a table of untouched food. Leng Yan looked at the food.
This time, the dishes looked, smelled, and tasted good. They were very local.
