ninety thousand miles

Chapter 486 Cang Ming
"What exactly do the remnants of the demon clan look like?" Li Chuan asked.

The appearance of the evil spirit already made him feel very uncomfortable. At this time, the old turtle was talking about shadows and no shadows. It didn't sound like the appearance of a normal creature.

The old turtle put down the cup and said, "As for the remnants of the demon clan, they are almost the same as humans."

"Ah?" Li Chuan was surprised.

The old turtle said: "Besides, they are all dead."

"What is that shadow?" Li Chuan was confused.

Wen Guying said: "Senior Yanyun, please tell me the details of this matter."

After pondering for a while, the old turtle said, "I pieced it together slowly. Thousands of years after the great catastrophe of gods and demons subsided, people continued to hunt down the remnants of the two races. They hated the gods more, so the gods were killed, and some people in the demons survived. After a hundred years, those cultivators also died, and after they died, it seemed that no one remembered that period of time. After that, the four Tianxuan and three sects rose up, and cultivators from the Xuanmen continued to ascend, and the remnants of the demons finally got a chance to breathe."

"No one discovered a thing," said the old turtle.

"What's going on?" Li Chuan asked.

"Those cultivators who followed the Nine Peaks True Immortal to hunt down the gods and demons all died in the next hundred years, and no one ascended to heaven," said the old turtle.

"Why?" Li Chuan asked.

The old turtle laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "How can I, a demon cultivator who failed to ascend, possibly figure out the secret?"

Wen Guying asked, "Did you hear these things from the remnants of the demon clan?"

The old turtle shook his head and said, "No."

After a moment of silence, the old turtle continued, "They hid for a long time. When they found that the crisis was over, there were only a few dozen of them left. They found a place to settle down, and then they and humans had offspring."

"Can this have offspring?" Li Chuan was shocked. He asked, "And how long can the demons live?"

The old turtle said: "If humans and demons can have offspring, why can't humans and demons have offspring?"

"That's right." Li Chuan was convinced.

"No, unless they choose to live as humans. The black gravel can allow them to transform into human bodies." Wen Guying guessed the answer and said, "According to the records in the Four Gods Palace, the lifespan of ordinary demons is about three hundred years."

"Only three hundred years?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Gu should say: "Yes."

"Are ordinary demons powerful?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying said: "It's hard to say, let's listen to Senior Yanyun first."

The old turtle said: "They settled down, generation after generation. There are no demon remnants left, only a small family of immortal cultivators. Three thousand years ago, that family offended someone, and everyone in the family died one by one, and finally only one monk was left."

"A monk? A monk?" Li Chuan asked.

The old turtle said, “Yes.”

"Then what?" Li Chuan asked.

The old turtle seemed to have noticed something. He looked at Li Chuan and said, "That monk, we found the murderer. It's Shadow."

"What do you mean?" Li Chuan was confused again.

The old turtle said: "After the catastrophe, some demon masters fell into a deep sleep. Three thousand years ago, they woke up. They shouldn't have woken up so early. After waking up, they found the remaining demon descendants, but found that those descendants thought they were human, not demons. They completely forgot their mission - to preserve the demon treasure. So the demon masters killed them and wanted to find the demon treasure."

"How can we find it after we kill them?" Li Chuan couldn't help asking. The old turtle said, "Because the thing is in their bodies."

"How do you know that?" Wen Guying asked again.

The old turtle remained silent.

Wen Guying said, "You said you woke up after Prince Su died. Prince Su has only been dead for a few months, just a few months. How could you find out so much?"

"I did realize something was wrong a long time ago," the old turtle admitted. "But I finally came to my senses because the spirit fish pointed it out to me."

The more honest a person looks, the less reliable he is, Li Chuan complained in his heart.

The old turtle said: "From then on, I began to look for the answer, and at the same time, I began to look for another way to become an immortal."

He continued, "After knowing that all this was related to the demon clan, I began to pay attention to all the information about the demon clan, and finally tracked down that family. But I was a step too late. The whole clan was dead, and the demon clan masters had already left. I tried to find some clues, but found nothing, until a monk appeared there."

"He defeated me easily. Then he asked me about what happened before, and I told him everything I found out. Then he told me that his Buddhist name was Zhiyue, and he was also from this family in the past."

"We traveled together for a while, and I gradually learned about this family from him. Later, I received a message from Shilong, and said goodbye to Master Zhiyue. After I met Shilong, Shilong told me that the person we were going to follow had been born."

"About twenty years later, a shadow appeared in the Qinling Secret Realm. I learned from indirect inquiries that Master Zhiyue killed all the demon masters. After their death, their souls gathered together and were guided here by some force..."

"No, you are wrong." Wen Guying interrupted the old turtle.

Li Chuan raised his head and looked at Wen Guying.

Wen Guying's tone was gentle, and the hostility on his face disappeared. There was even a smile on the corner of his mouth. He said: "Senior Yanyun, you are the shadow."

Li Chuan hurried to see the old turtle.

The old turtle's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice, "Friend Wen, what do you mean?"

Wen Guying said: "Senior Yanyun, after you entered the Qinling Secret Realm for the first time, you became a slave of Shadow, and then you conspired with the Stone Dragon Spirit Fish while tracking down the whereabouts of the remaining demons. However, although you are a demon cultivator, your skills are all derived from the orthodox Xuanmen skills. You gradually realized that something was wrong, and then you pretended to ask for help from the Spirit Fish King. With her help, you turned the tables and refined Shadow into your puppet."

"After that, you continue to track down the whereabouts of the remnants of the demon clan. Because the gate to immortality has been closed to you, you only have one other way, which is to use the things left by the demon clan to achieve another kind of ascension. So, even if you 'wake up', you are still working hard to help the demon clan's great cause."

"Is that family fake?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's true, I know which family it is." Yao Shuang said.

Wen Guying said: "He used the shadow puppet to wipe out the family. When he was looking for the treasure of the demon clan, Master Zhiyue came back. You thought he might know something, so you made up a story to gain his trust. After getting the truth from him, you parted ways with him, and then used the shadow to kill him again."

"You didn't expect that he would kill Shadow." Wen Guying looked very regretful.

Li Chuan noticed something was wrong.

The air was humid and sticky, as if it was going to rain again.

It's a life-or-death fight.

At this time, Wen Guying suddenly asked him: "Brother Li, do you know which elder received my signal and rushed to Yashan County?"

"Which elder?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's the Master of Cang Ming Hall." Wen Guying said.

At this time, Li Chuan heard a long phoenix cry coming from a distance.
