Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 80 The Brutal Slaughter of the Demon Race

"Little cutie, bring those two old men to me."

"Yes, Master."

Here, Little Cutie is like a guardian deity of the blue sky, knowing everything about this place. Before long, two Venerable Ones appeared before the blue sky, their faces filled with rage. Even together, they dared not be negligent or offend him. Here, the blue sky already possessed the ability to crush them both effortlessly.

"Demon Lord, is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Young Master Lan, I don't know what you want me to say, I don't understand!"

"Keep pretending, keep pretending. You don't know anything. You've come all this way, and you still don't understand what your demon race is trying to do. If you can't explain it, I'll annihilate you today."

"Young Master Lan, I really don't know. It was all done by the Four Protectors. It has nothing to do with me, really."

Mo Qitian kept making excuses, shifting all the blame onto the four guardians. This was impossible; they hadn't planned this for a long time, and without the Demon Lord's authorization, they certainly wouldn't dare, nor would they have, instigated a racial war. Now they couldn't wait any longer. Although the Demon Lord had been missing for many years, their plans remained unchanged. Therefore, Lan Tian was very angry, blatantly lying.

"Lan Zun, is there anything you want to say?"

Lan Tian said to Lan Di Shizun, "He is the ancestor of the Lan family. I would like to hear his opinion on this matter."

"What I want to say is that there must be something fishy about the Demon Clan this time, something mysterious. The old Demon is involved, and he should take responsibility regardless of whether he was involved or not."

“Old Man Lan, I didn’t say I was irresponsible. The Demon Clan will take full responsibility for this war they started, and Young Master Lan can decide what to do with it.”

"Alright, Demon Lord, if your demon race would imprison Yingying and the others there, you must have your own secret realm."

“Our demon race has a secret realm, but it concerns the extinction of our race. I cannot tell you unless you swear that no one but yourself will be allowed to enter or leave that place, and that you will not tell anyone but yourself, guaranteeing that our race’s last sacred ground will not be violated.”

"As long as your demon race stops waging war and doesn't invade other races, I naturally won't invade your holy land. I just need to rescue Yingying and the others. If you dare to invade Yingying and the others, or exploit your relatives from other races, I won't let you off the hook for your crimes."

"I cannot guarantee that all of this was done by the Four Protectors. I will definitely punish them severely when I return."

Lan Tian believed Lan Zun's words, but he wouldn't completely believe the Demon Lord's. He was a cunning old fox; how could he not know about the affairs of his demon clan?

Right now, Lantian urgently needs to know the whereabouts and fate of Yingying and the others.

"Okay, I promise that as long as you do not harm Yingying and the others, do not offend any other tribes, and do not actively seek revenge against any other tribes, I will definitely not harm you again."

"I believe you, and you must remember your promise."

"A true man keeps his word; he will never go back on his word or break his promise."

"Alright, I can only tell you this. Old Man Lan, you should stay away."

World Honored One Landi walked away at a distance; he had no interest in knowing the secret language of the Demon Realm.

Mo Qitian had no choice but to passively tell Lan Tian about the Demon Clan's secret realm, their last sanctuary, the final refuge left to them by their ancient gods.

It turns out that the necklace left behind in the Mensomm Mountains was a key for the demons to open the secret realm. It was an item belonging to Mo Qitian, a sacred relic of the demons. There were two in total, with the other one in the possession of the four guardians. Combined with the demons' secret code, it could open the secret realm and allow entry. Lan Tian touched the necklace on his body, memorized the secret code, and knew that there was one entrance in the Demon City.

……

Lan Tian returned to the ruins of the Demon City and found the entrance to the Demon City Secret Realm that Mo Qitian had mentioned. This place used to be the Demon Clan's temple, but it has now been razed to the ground. The rubble has buried it in the artificial hill in the backyard of the temple. Lan Tian finally found it and cleaned up the surrounding area. The surrounding broken walls and ruins perfectly concealed it, making it almost invisible from the outside.

For safety reasons, Lan Tian built a defensive barrier around the area, creating a maze-like formation to completely hide it from everyone. Even the four guardians wouldn't be able to find the entrance to the secret realm.

After doing all this, Blue Sky needs to return to Sky City as soon as possible to see what the Demon Clan has done to us!
“Sweetie, let’s go back to Sky City.”

"Okay, master."

Instantly, a portal to another dimension appeared before Lan Tian, ​​who stepped through it and vanished. When Lan Tian reappeared, he was atop the temple mountain in Sky City. He didn't disturb the temple guardians, knowing that Qin Lei and the others were still on their way back to the city, a journey that would take them half a month.

Lan Tian used the power of Sky City to teleport back instantly; only he possessed this ability, as he was the master of Sky City. Before leaving to conquer the Demon Capital, Lan Tian set up a barrier around Sky City, prohibiting all demons from entering. Therefore, he knew in his heart that Sky City would not be affected by the demons.

Blue Sky returned to check if Sky City was alright. He was relieved to see it was safe and sound. Now he was going to Endless Island to see how things were going!

"Little cutie, let's go to the Lan Mansion in Xiaoyao City."

"Yes, Master."

When Lan Tian reappeared, he was already in the Lan Mansion in Xiaoyao City. The place was devastated, with corpses strewn everywhere and a foul stench. The mansion had been razed to the ground by the demons more than ten days ago, leaving no survivors.

The entire city of Xiaoyao was still burning intermittently. The survivors were burying their loved ones and cleaning up the streets burned by the demons. It was a scene of utter devastation; a city of over a million people had been destroyed in the demons' ravages.

Looking at the ruins of the city, Lan Tian could not hide his grief. Had he done something wrong? Was he responsible for the deaths of his compatriots? The demons were his mortal enemies.

Lan Tian returned to Xiangyang City, only to find the same scene, the same desolation. None of the Lan family's guards and servants there survived; they were all wiped out by the demons, leaving not a single survivor.

All of this rubbed salt into Lan Tian's wounds once again. His grief had reached its peak, and the complete annihilation of the Lan family had thoroughly enraged him.

"Oh no, parents! Penglai Island, the foundation of the Lan family, is there. Nothing will happen, absolutely nothing will happen."

"Little cutie, back to Penglai Island, right now."

"Okay, master."

Lan Tian dared not imagine, dared not face the worst possible outcome. But he had to go back and face it, hoping that the demons had not discovered this place, and had not harmed his dearest parents.

……

In an instant, the blue sky appeared on Penglai Island and in Blue Valley.
