Chapter 131 - Your Mother
Hearing Long Da’s explanation, Feng Xia came to a sudden realization.
In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons in the depths of Mount Canglan, there was also an ancient tomb said to be left behind by an ancient demon beast who was the founder of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!
“That grand demon’s strength is only average. However, if it’s put in this current world, I guess it can be considered a top expert.”
Long Da chuckled and said, “However, that grand demon’s tomb will open once every 10 years. Every demon beast lord in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons has a certain quota in their hands. They can nominate candidates to enter that tomb to search for opportunities.”
“For the demon beasts of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, the tomb left behind by that grand demon is considered a place with good opportunities. If one’s luck is good enough, one’s strength can advance by leaps and bounds. It’s not impossible for one to become a demon beast lord after that.”
“And my opinion… According to my calculations, the opening of the tomb of the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor coincidentally overlaps with the opening of the tomb of that grand demon. Therefore, as long as one enters the tomb of that grand demon, one can enter the tomb of the Supreme Demon Dragon Emperor.”
Simply put, it was a set of nesting dolls again!
In almost an instant, Feng Xia made a simple and easy-to-understand conclusion.
“My mother is loyal to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. If she knows about this, she will definitely report it upwards. At that time, it will become extremely difficult for us to enter the tomb of the Demon Dragon Emperor.”
“After all, the current monarch of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is not an easy one to talk to.”
During their short exchange, Feng Xia was somewhat surprised to discover that although Long Da was extremely arrogant and liked to use swear words, he was actually a rather innocent and good child… good egg.
“If that’s the case, then the matter that Mo Zi’an mentioned, that big thing the Xuanwu Emperor is planning, might also be related to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.”
Feng Xia suddenly thought of something as various possibilities surfaced in his mind. “So, if I haven’t encountered Long Da and don’t know about all of this, what would have happened next?”
He did not have a definite answer, but it was conceivable that once the Thousand Autumn Valley took over the land within a radius of a thousand miles, the nearest demon beast lord, Long Da’s mother, would most likely come and look for Feng Xia.
“Perhaps there is some kind of secret agreement between the Xuanwu Kingdom and that demon beast lord. Once the agreement is broken, the demon beast lord will not be just a harmless neighbor…”
Along the way, Feng Xia gained a rough understanding of the situation in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.
The span of power of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was much greater than he had imagined.
Rather than saying that there was a group of demon beasts living at the southeast border of Xuanwu Kingdom, it would be more accurate to say that there was a small group of humans living at the northwest border of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!
“This primary-secondary relationship is completely reversed…”
The more Feng Xia listened, the more he could not help but shake his head.
However, after hearing what Long Da said, the bits and pieces of the history of Xuanwu Kingdom he had in his mind gradually resurfaced, combining with the part that Long Da described.
“Back then, I was still thinking that since Xuanwu Kingdom is located in the northwest of the continent and there were barely any people around this area 700 years ago. Those founding elders… who were they fighting against?”
And here was probably the answer to this question.
They were fighting the demon beasts of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!
Surrounded by demons, the elders overcame all obstacles and fought a bloody battle before they finally established the Xuanwu Kingdom and preserved a corner of the land for the human race!
“Such remarkable people.”
Feng Xia could not help but sigh as he thought to himself, “What a pity. With a gap of 700 years between us, I’m afraid… I won’t have the chance to meet them in this life.”
“We’re almost there.”
Right at this moment, Long Da suddenly said, “My mother’s residence is just ahead.”
Feng Xia looked over and his heart trembled slightly. “As I expected, the abnormal movements of the demon beasts at the North Gazing Cliff were actually caused by Long Da. It’s just that it’s different from what I imagined…”
At the thought of this, his expression became a little strange.
The first possibility that he had eliminated immediately appeared in front of him at the moment—
One demon beast after another lined up neatly and ran wildly under the North Gazing Cliff, raising large amounts of dust. There were even muffled roars coming from the mouths of some demon beasts.
“One! Two! One!”
“One! Two! One!”
“One! Two! One!”
“In the end—are they really just running laps?!”
Feng Xia almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Initially, he thought that the abnormal movements on the North Gazing Cliff might be a huge crisis like a beast tide. When he set off, he was even prepared to have to fight a bloody battle.
A single demon beast might not be stronger than a human.
However, demon beasts were huge, had thick skin and there were usually many of them. They had all kinds of strange talents. Once they fought with humans, unless the difference in strength was huge, the ones who suffered would most likely be the humans!
“In the beginning, I only hoped that my mother would become stronger. This way, my future days will be more comfortable.” Long Da’s voice entered Feng Xia’s ears. “However, later on, when my mother saw that my training method was effective, she called all her subordinates to come over and asked them to train with her.”
In the end, it was all your doing!
Feng Xia did not even have the strength to complain by now.
“However, this is also a good thing. The Thousand Autumn Valley is still too weak now. If we encounter a beast tide, there will be more casualties for no reason.”
Just as he shook his head, he suddenly heard several familiar voices one after another.
“Xia, you’re here!”
“Sect Master!”
“Sect Master, you’re finally here!”
Three figures flew over one after another. The moment Zhu Youniang approached, Long Da let out a cry of surprise. “Eh? Why does this young girl look like…”
Before Feng Xia could think deeper, he heard First Elder Lei Shao say anxiously, “Sect Master, someone is trapped in the beast tide!”
“What did you say?”
In an instant, Feng Xia was on high alert.
He looked in the direction the First Elder pointed and indeed, he saw a small figure being chased by groups of demon beasts within the big crowd.
That person’s face was covered by the dust that filled the sky, but with just a glance, one could tell that the girl looked a little younger than Zhu Youniang.
“Why is there a human here?”
Feng Xia did not have time to think. He instantly unsheathed the Spirit King Sword and wanted to move forward to save that person. “Little girl, don’t be anxious. We’ll come and save you immediately—”
However, in the next moment, Long Da suddenly flew up and towards the direction of the girl. His voice was filled with surprise and joy as he said, “Mother! You’ve finally cultivated the transformation technique I taught you?!”
Feng Xia: “?”
Lei Shao and Chu Zhuyun: “???”
