Chapter 76: Anian
Although I had to rest, I couldn't help but whisper to Yun Jin for the middle of the night, as if I had vented all the desire for communication that had been suppressed in the Demon Realm these days. Yun Jin was placed in a stone cave next to the Demon Demon's Cave. Judging from the arrangement inside the cave, it seemed that the stone cave was originally prepared for Yun Jin.
Even though Yun Jin would not talk to me like others, at least he was willing to listen and would not end the topic in a hurry as the Demon Emperor. I dealt with the marks on my ankle for Yun Jin, and I unconsciously looked at its body in the form of a Kirin, and then I suddenly imagined the true body of Qingzhang, and I always quickly closed my thoughts in a chill and continued to talk to Yun Jin about other topics. Later, I didn't know when the sleepiness came, so I leaned on Yun Jin and fell asleep peacefully. This was probably the most peaceful and comfortable night I slept these days.
It was not until the cold voice of the Demon Emperor came from outside the stone cave that I suddenly woke up.
Perhaps I have been sleeping in the Demon Kiln Cave for a long time recently, and I feel very tired now. Unfortunately, the Demon Emperor does not seem to be a patient master. I can only barely wake up, hurriedly say goodbye to Yun Jin, and leave the stone cave.
When the bright red armor came into my eyes, I woke up a lot again and most of my sleepiness disappeared.
The Demon Emperor turned his head and looked at me, without saying anything, and then threw me one word: "Go."
But this time he did not suddenly grab me and teleport in space, but led the way step by step very solemnly. I followed him forward, but found that it was the direction of Holy Spirit Mountain.
I vaguely remember that when Cang Li was waiting for me to go to Holy Spirit Mountain, he did not pass this road. He must have been on the other side of Holy Spirit Mountain. In a short while, we arrived at a place that looked like the entrance of the canyon. At the same time, I felt the violent airflow and spiritual power fluctuations. When I looked up, I found that the huge vortex had almost occupied all the sight above my head.
But the Demon Emperor had no intention of entering the Demon-Sealing Valley. He stopped and looked at him, and took me to a stone path next to the entrance of the valley. He walked around the outer mountain and when I found that the rocks next to the road began to shine slightly with blue light, I knew that we had arrived at the foot of the Holy Spirit Mountain.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor suddenly stopped. I had noticed that there was a vague barrier in front of us, and the things inside the barrier were very blurry. The road ahead was like a road but not a road. The scene that was close to us was more and more like a illusion.
The Demon Emperor waved his long arm, and the barrier suddenly opened a gap. I still followed him closely and entered the barrier through the gap.
A moment ago, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear, and I was extremely surprised because of this.
Within this barrier, there was a huge camp. Around the camp, countless regular caves were neatly built. In the middle of the camp, there was a well-designed training ground. Rows of demon soldiers wearing red armor were led by generals to practice on different training grounds.
This is actually the Demon Emperor’s military camp!
I couldn't help but laugh at myself secretly. I was confused by the illusion of the desolation of the Demon Realm. The Demon Clan is a warlike race, how could it be that there was no soldier? How could the internal fighting in the Demon Realm be just a one-on-one duel between several powerful demons? It turned out that the Demon Clan's army was trained in such a secret situation.
"It seems that Cang Li has never taken you to see the real Demon Realm." The Demon Emperor said coldly when he saw me in surprise, "No wonder, the Demons are warlike. Even in the towns of the Demon Realm, there are often mutual provocations and duels, and they are all life-and-death battles. In the Demon Realm, killing is just a common thing. The selection method of generals at the middle level and below the army is also a life-and-death duel. Of course, if the commander is not strong enough, the generals below can also challenge them if they want to replace them."
"Then, will they dare to challenge you?"
The Demon Emperor glanced at me again and said domineeringly: "I have Chiyou's bloodline, and was born with the most powerful power in the Demon Realm."
"Is Chiyou the most powerful among gods and demons?"
Seeing that the Demon Emperor did not respond, I continued, "If not, it seems that the demon clan still cannot compare with the gods. After all, there should be people in the gods who are stronger than Chiyou? No matter when the war between gods and demons can really start, if the gods who are even more powerful than Chiyou become demons in one thought, will they challenge you?"
"snort!"
The Demon Emperor snorted coldly and ignored me anymore.
The three innermost caves directly in front of the camp were much larger than the other caves. The Demon Emperor took me around the scattered training grounds and went directly to a cave in the middle. I think that the person in this cave should be the commander of the camp.
The furnishings in the grottoes are very simple. Apart from the stone beds, stone platforms and other necessities, there is only a weapon rack full of various weapons.
Seeing the Demon Emperor bringing me in, a young general who was sitting upright behind the stone platform in the middle, who seemed to be studying the war layout quickly stood up. He was also wearing red armor, but there were fewer equipment than the Demon Emperor. His appearance was heroic, and in addition to the awe-inspiring look that was unique to the demon clan, there seemed to be a little more gentle aura, not as strong as other demon clans.
"The Emperor's Father." He bowed respectfully to the Demon Emperor, and then saw me behind the Demon Emperor, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.
He called the Demon Emperor the Emperor's Father, then was he actually the son of the Demon Emperor?
His surprise flashed by, and then he nodded to me very carefully and signaled.
"Is she the one mentioned by the Emperor's Father? She and her mother... are indeed too similar..."
"It's just a appearance, how can she compare to your mother."
I listened to their conversation like a wooden stake, but it seemed like a thunder broke out over my head.
Is the mother he mentioned? Aokitao actually has a child with the Demon Emperor! This is really incredible. Before that, all the information I received was the deep love between Cang Li and Aokitao. One turned into the Holy Spirit Mountain to seal the Demon Realm, and the other never left it for life to protect it. But now, there is a child of the Demon Emperor and Aokitao out of thin air! I feel more and more that the grievances that have been smoothed by thousands of years are much more complicated than what I know.
The Demon Emperor ignored my strangeness and continued, "A Nian, when you go to Qingqiu this time, you must be careful and go back quickly. Qingdian is extremely restless. The Demon Realm will probably have a big battle soon."
"I understand, Father, I will do my best to protect her."
"If the gods are unfortunately involved, just take her back to the demon realm quickly, and never let the gods take her away."
"good."
In this grotto, I seemed transparent, but I heard too much information from their conversation. But I really couldn't figure out what would be the connection between me and the gods when I went to Qingqiu to find the antidote to the desire poison?
"This is the son of the deity, A Nian. You must obey his arrangements along the way and do not act rashly." The Demon Emperor seemed to have finally thought of my existence.
I nodded thoughtfully. Although I had too many questions, I didn’t know how to ask. After all, I might know everything when I went to Qingqiu. Or maybe I wouldn’t have to return to the Demon Realm when I arrived in Qingqiu.
Thinking of this, the Demon Emperor left me in the military camp after leaving some simple instructions, and returned to the Demon Kiln Cave himself.
A Nian seemed to be involuntarily resting her eyes on me and then suddenly realized her loss of composure. So he hurriedly bowed to me, said a few words to me, and ordered his demon soldiers to place me in the cave next to the commander's cave, and told me that I could set off tomorrow. At that time, the Demon Emperor would come to open the seal of the Demon Valley and send us to the human world.
But he didn't know that when he looked at me, I also looked him carefully. From his eyebrows, I did see a little bit of the shadow of the Demon Emperor, but more, I was carefully looking for the traces of Aoki Zhuo in his face. For some reason, my curiosity about Aoki Zhuo became stronger and stronger.
I originally wanted to get some details about Aokitao from him, but he didn't seem to want to talk to me, so I had to give up and return to my resting cave honestly.
Even though I didn't really have a good rest when chatting with Yun Jin the night before, I was no longer sleepy this night. Tossing and turning, I tried hard to guess what would happen after going to Qingqiu, and imagined what I would do after my poison was relieved. The undercurrent in my heart could not calm down for a long time. I stroked my stomach from time to time, as if it was a little bit more prominent than the previous few days. I thought that when Qingqiu was in trouble, I would definitely find a way to ask the demons to control him and meet him.
What happened to him now? Where did they move to the previous catastrophe? Or did they return to Suining Town? Did Boyi and You Ruojun still live with him? What kind of way are he and You Ruojun... now? What would he react if he saw me again...
Countless speculations and countless fantasies gradually became tired and finally fell asleep.
The next morning, the sound of the morning exercises in the camp woke me up from my dream, but there seemed to be the shadow of the familiar wooden house in front of me, and naturally, there was also the figure of the blue robe and plain clothes in the house...
I woke myself up a little, and then walked out of the cave with confidence, but saw that A Nian, the son of the Demon Emperor, was already waiting outside the cave.
"Sorry, I slept a little late these two days and nights." I felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's normal for a woman to feel tired when she is pregnant. The emperor and father often say that mothers often feel tired when she is pregnant."
He looked at me again with a very deep look, and then mentioned his mother. The look really made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"When will we set out?"
He woke up suddenly and then said, "Let's go to the Demon Seal Valley, the Emperor's Father must have arrived."
