The eldest sister of Xuanling Sect thought about it and said that she had no impression.
"A thousand years ago, when the magic path was not as weak as it is today, some super strong people emerged," Lian Xin narrated slowly, "and the best among them were called the Demonic Way Venerables, or 'Demon Venerables'."
"The powerful demons who have obtained the title of 'Demon Lord' will establish their own forces, which are the 'Demon Palaces'. At their peak, the power of the Demon Palaces was no less than those legendary super sects on the continent."
However, with the emergence of more and more talented people in the righteous path, the evil path became something that everyone could kill on the continent of Kyushu.
The first to be hit is the Demon Lord, who represents the "most terrifying" character in the demon world, and the Demon Palace under him.
In the repeated encirclement and suppression, the demon palaces were destroyed one after another, and the Jiuzhou Demon Sect officially entered the "decline period".
Until now, not to mention the history, even the name "Demon Palace" is not known to every demon cultivator.
"The Demon Palace was destroyed a long time ago," Lian Xin raised her head and looked directly at Tang Xin, "but as the saying goes, a centipede is still alive even after death. Its philosophy and even a small part of its heritage have not been completely eliminated..."
"There has been more than one Demon Lord on the continent, and more than one Demon Palace has been built. These broken fragments gathered together are also a force that cannot be ignored," she said. "Those who are still obsessed with things like the Demon Lord and the Demon Palace are called 'followers'. Their goal is to have another 'Demon Lord' appear on the continent to lead the way of magic, regroup, and even achieve more brilliant achievements."
After hearing this, Tang Xin and A Miao both scratched their faces at the same time.
These demon cultivators are really good at causing trouble...
"So," Tang Xin asked, "what is your identity?"
"I come from a group of followers," Lian Xin seemed to recall some bad memories, and her face quickly darkened. "For some reason, those people seemed to think that I have a trace of 'Demon Lord Bloodline' and wanted to awaken the Demon Lord power dormant in my body."
“But I escaped…”
Chapter 89: Doom Version Amulet
People with faith are scary.
A madman with faith is even more terrifying.
In order to awaken the "Demon Lord Bloodline" in Lianxin's body, that group of people would do almost anything, regardless of the cost.
"Demon Lord Bloodline," Tang Xin touched his chin and asked, "Does this thing really exist?"
For low-level cultivators, their bloodlines are useless. There is no such thing as the descendants of foundation-building cultivators having higher cultivation talents than the descendants of ordinary people.
The advantage of monks in maintaining a family is that they live longer, have more energy, and can reproduce continuously.
As long as you give birth to more, there will always be some who can practice... When you think about it this way, there are indeed more monks born in monk families than in mortal families.
“I don’t know either,” Lian Xin shook her head and said, “When you reach that level, you already have the power to spy on the avenue. Maybe some changes will happen. Or maybe it’s just the wishful thinking of those people… At least I haven’t heard of any human genius in the righteous path who became a super strong person again by relying on the blood of his ancestors.”
In fact, even if one has the bloodline of the Demon Lord, what can that do?
Maybe the upper limit is higher than that of ordinary magic cultivators, but can it reach the level of Demon Lord or even surpass them?
How can it be that easy?
But these followers didn't care, or didn't want to care. They just wanted the Demon King to come to the continent again.
"Tang Xin," Lian Xin whispered, "Are you also a follower?"
"I?"
She scratched her head.
"What's wrong? Why do you ask?"
"The code you mentioned," the girl explained, "is the code between the followers of the Demon Lord. Although being able to say the code doesn't mean that you are as crazy as the people I met before, it more or less shows that you have a certain degree of yearning for the 'Demon Lord'."
"And your badge is a tool used by some people in the magic world to identify their identities." Lian Xin paused. "Although these people are not as crazy as those I met, they are not abnormal either..."
It turns out that in the demon world, there are so many people paying attention to the affairs of the "Demon Lord"?
This is understandable. After all, when the Demon Lord was alive, it was the most glorious moment of the Demonic Path. Now that times are difficult, it is natural that some people will recall the past.
After saying this, Lian Xin's expression didn't look very happy.
After escaping from her followers, she has been on the run and has witnessed many tragedies.
Before she met Tang Xin, she actually never believed that there were so-called "good people" in the world of cultivation.
Interests, all interests. If it’s not for interests, I won’t contact other people at all.
But Tang Xin gave her a different feeling...but if she was also a follower, that would be a different matter.
"I'm not interested in the Demon Lord or anything like that," Tang Xin said, spreading his hands. "Let me be frank with you. Actually, I'm not a demon. The badge and the Soul Devouring Banner only came into my hands because of some very complicated things."
Disguised as a demon, he wanted to gain the trust of the "Demon Spark". Now that he had obtained the "Jiuzhou Seal Manual", he could leave the Hundred Poison Mountains and complete the main storyline goal. Lian Xin didn't seem to like the demon anymore, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
After hearing this, Lianxin couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face.
"Not a demon?"
She looked at the chief sister of Xuanling Sect carefully.
"Your temperament, your affinity for the Soul Devouring Banner, and the words you said to encourage the demon cultivators before... no matter how you look at it, you are a pure demon cultivator, right?"
"Can you please stop judging people by their appearance?" Tang Xin said with a twitch in her mouth. "I clearly wrote the words kindness and integrity on my forehead. Why did you ignore them..."
Is it my fault that I look like a villain? It's obviously the world that is wrong, judging people by their appearance!
"So you are not a demon cultivator..."
Lian Xin lowered her head, feeling mixed emotions.
Since she was not a demon cultivator, she could not be a follower of the Demon Lord, and she was happy about it.
But if she is a righteous cultivator, then there will be no intersection between her and a pure demon cultivator like me...
Although he didn't know why she wanted to help him this time, the gap between their identities meant that there would probably be little chance for them to meet again in the future.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that the conversation between the two was becoming more and more "mysterious", A Miao, who knew that "the more he knew, the more dangerous he would be", said "I'll go check out the situation around meow" and ran out.
"Anyway," Lian Xin put away the complicated emotions in her heart and nodded slightly, "Thank you for your help this time. Without you, I really don't know how to get the seal manual."
"I told you not to thank me," Tang Xin said, "and the mission is not over yet. I will only be successful if I get you out of the Hundred Poison Mountains."
"Yes," Lian Xin responded, then took out an exquisite pendant from her sleeve and said, "I'm afraid something might change along the way, so I'll give this to you first."
"This amulet I made myself..."
You are a person who is plagued by bad luck, and you are making amulets. Isn't this redundant?
[Generating options...]
[Option 1: Burn the amulet to ashes in front of you. ]

[Option 3: Wear the amulet after getting it and do not discard it.]
[1% success rate, reward: cuteness +.]
What the hell does this have to do with cuteness?
Tang Xin really wanted to choose "two". Let her be a scumbag, it's better than having any problems.
but……
Do you dare to offend the "owner of the Demon Lord's bloodline"?
At that time, he escaped the punishment of the righteous protagonist, but was killed by the evil boss. Isn't that unfair?
"Thank you," Tang Xin had no choice but to bite the bullet and took the amulet, forcing a smile and saying, "I will keep it well. I hope it can bring me good luck..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw A Miao running towards him quickly with a nervous look on his face.
"Something bad is happening, meow!"
She lowered her voice and said in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xin asked, "We've all been to big events, what's there to be so surprised about?"
"When I was scouting around, I found that many righteous monks were approaching this side," Ah Miao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The direction they are heading coincides with the location of the Hundred Poison Hall!"
"How did they find this place?"
Lian Xin asked doubtfully.
"It's a bit unexpected," Tang Xin nodded, "but there's no need to be so nervous..."
"The problem is that it's not just the sect disciples who are here, meow!" Ah Miao said, shaking his tail quickly, "High-level monks are here too! Their aura is so oppressive that I don't dare get close to them at all, meow!"
"I suspect that the so-called disciples exorcising demons is just a feint. The real purpose of the Righteous Sect is to find the Hundred Poison Hall, meow!"
"What the hell?!"
Chapter 90 It’s You
Near the Hundred Poisons Hall area, a large group of people were marching in an orderly manner.
This team is mostly composed of young disciples from immortal cultivation sects, many of whom are members of the Demon-Slaying League, and there are also some unfamiliar faces.
But what attracted the most attention were not these chosen ones, but the older monks in the team.
"As we expected, most of the remaining demon cultivators have gathered in one place," an old man in a green robe said with a smile, "We can finally catch them all in one fell swoop this time."
"Yes, if we catch them one by one, I don't know when we can deal with them completely."
The middle-aged man in a white robe next to him agreed with a smile.
These two, one is the seventh elder of Qingshuimen, and the other is the third elder of Yutie Sect. Both of them were the main figures in the previous "encirclement and suppression of the evil sect" operation, and they have the cultivation base of the peak of Jindan.
For the remaining small fry demon cultivators, there is no need to dispatch higher-level bosses. This lineup is enough to complete the next task.
"Let the disciples of various sects and schools go into the mountains for training, put pressure on these demon cultivators, let them expose their own flaws, and then we will make the final blow. The whole plan is quite good," the old man stroked his beard and said, "It's a pity that casualties could not be completely avoided. I heard that many disciples died during the training."
"It can't be helped. What kind of training is risk-free?" the middle-aged man consoled. "This is much safer than our training back then, right? We didn't have any backup plans back then. Every time we trained, we were determined to either live or die."
"That's true," the old man nodded, "In the process of growing up, pain is always inevitable..."
Although talented disciples are very valuable to a sect of immortal cultivation, what a sect really needs is a "core" who can lead the sect in the future.
If a disciple fails to survive the trials, it only means that apart from his talent for cultivation, he has not met the sect's requirements in other aspects.
