I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Along the way, the boatmen, night watchmen, and cooks worked in three shifts. It took several days to reach the Tongtian River, and everyone was exhausted from the hardships.

The environment had changed so drastically in such a short time that if almost everyone on the ship had some form of cultivation, they would have been unable to withstand it.

Fortunately, once we reached the Tongtian River, the Kunlun Mountains were not far away.

As long as they can resolve Wang Jinxuan's crisis, their arduous journey by boat will be worthwhile.

Seeing that Wang Qian completely believed Wang An's words, Wang Liang knew that it was useless to persuade him. He could only look at the water bottle and say with a sigh, "Yes, we've already reached the Tongtian River. Who knows how many dangers lie ahead..."

"Second brother, don't be afraid."

Wang Qian hooked his arm around Wang Liang's neck and said loudly, "Big brother will protect you, whether it's you or Jin Xuan. As long as it's something big brother can do, big brother will never back down."

"If Jinxuan heard you say that, he would definitely be very moved."

Wang Liang looked at Wang Qian, his feelings becoming somewhat complicated...

Chapter 228 The True Son of the Demon Emperor

The two brothers watched the river for a long time. Although Wang Qian noticed that Wang Liang seemed to have something on his mind, he assumed that he was worried about Wang Jinxuan and the dangers ahead, so he offered a few words of comfort.

But he didn't offer any real comfort.

Although Wang Liang was worried about Wang Jinxuan, his current mood was more of trepidation about the upcoming decisive battle.

His naive older brother thought this trip was really to Kunlun, but in fact, they had already arrived at their destination.

Their goal is the Tongtian River.

The so-called Hermit of Jade Void on Kunlun Mountain does not exist at all; their father, Wang An, is a complete liar.

This time, they didn't come to find someone to help Wang Jinxuan at all, but to search for the real Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.

As for Wang Jinxuan, if she is still alive by tomorrow, no one will bother her anymore, because the truth will come out to the world: she is not the daughter of the Demon Emperor at all!

Wang An's words were not entirely a lie; he did indeed adopt the Demon Emperor's offspring, but the half-demon child was not Wang Jinxuan, but Wang Liang.

The secrets involved were too great, and Wang Liang kept them hidden for many years, not daring to let anyone know.

It turns out that the Demon Emperor was not unsealed by the Xiao family emperor eighteen years ago. There was never any seal. Eighteen years ago, the royal family sealed the Demon Emperor, but not long after, the Demon Emperor broke free and caused that great calamity that swept the world.

In fact, before that, the Demon Emperor was already with a human and had a child before the incident occurred.

Wang Liang didn't know who that person was, nor did he know why the Demon Emperor was sealed by the royal family.

He learned about his origins when he was ten years old. Because he was playing, he accidentally fell into the well in the backyard, where he encountered a ghost.

The ghost claimed to be a confidant of the Demon Emperor, named Wu Mo. He had escorted him through Xing Sha City years ago, but unexpectedly, Wang An had set his sights on him.

Under Wang An's severe torture, he failed to keep the secret and exposed Wang Liang's identity. In the end, he was killed by Wang An and his body was thrown into a well.

Unable to let go of its obsession, it turned into a ghost, waiting day after day in the well, until finally Wang Liang arrived.

Wang Liang didn't believe it at first, but some of the ghost's words awakened some of his vague memories.

He was not Wang An's biological son, but Wang An did have a second son, who naturally disappeared after he arrived.

The man was killed by Wang An himself.

When he became Wang An's second son, he was already two years old. Perhaps because he was a half-demon, he had already begun to remember some things.

At that time, Wang An's first wife, Xie Wan, had just given birth to Wang Jinxuan when she was forced to die due to poor health.

Everyone in the manor who had seen the former second young master was dealt with one after another, except for Wang Qian, who survived.

But he was young and didn't understand. He didn't know why his younger brother seemed a little different. His father said it was his younger brother, and he didn't doubt it.

After that, Wang An began to prepare for the imposter Demon Emperor's daughter. The best way to deceive people is for me to desperately cover up the truth while you desperately try to uncover it. Once the truth is revealed, you won't doubt that it's fake.

When Wang Liang first learned his true identity, he was in great pain, but under Wu Mo's guidance, he quickly realized that his situation was very bad.

He must conceal his wisdom and strength, and do everything he can to survive.

As for who his father was, why the royal family sealed the Demon Emperor, and what exactly happened back then, Wang Liang had no idea.

Wu Mo refused to talk about these things, only saying that the matter of the Demon Emperor was very complicated and that only after he obtained the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm would he be qualified to know the truth.

Otherwise, knowing too many secrets without the ability to protect them will only lead to their leakage and bring no benefit whatsoever.

In any case, what Wu Mo told him was enough for him to face the crisis at hand.

The moment of decisive battle is fast approaching. Wang Liang originally planned to plant a seed in Wang Qian's body to threaten Wang An, which would also be a card in his hand.

But after hearing what Wang Qian said, he found it hard to bring himself to do it.

Well, actually this card isn't that important. Blood relatives might not be that important to Wang An.

Threatening him with Wang Qian's life would only mean taking another life on his hands.

Wang Liang retained a shred of conscience and said to Wang Qian, "Brother, you must be tired from keeping watch these past few nights. Go and rest. I'll take over the watch for you for the second half of the night."

"No, go to sleep. The situation here is complicated, and it wouldn't be good if something went wrong."

Of course, Wang Qian wouldn't entrust such an important task as patrolling and guarding the night to Wang Liang. He said that there were only a few monsters here, but he wasn't really relaxed. He was just putting on an act.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep. Take care of yourself, brother."

Wang Liang waved his hand and went back to the cabin.

The ship was slowly sailing westward. The wind was strong and the waves were high. The ship was moving slowly against the wind, but its direction remained firm.

As the sun rises in the east and the morning light shines down on the world, it can dispel all the gloom that belongs to the night.

In Xingsha City, Lin Yi pushed Qianhuan Guiji to free himself from her restraints.

She only meant to warm the bed, but she insisted on sleeping in my arms and even let Lin Yi rest his head on her arm. It's hilarious. Does she think Lin Yi is scared?

As long as you don't absorb his yang energy, there shouldn't be any major problems.

He Dong didn't sleep all night. Although ghosts are supposed to not sleep, it's rare to see one grit its teeth and stay up all night.

"you're awake?"

Lin Yi didn't know if Qianhuan Guiji was asleep or not, but when he opened his eyes, he saw her staring at him, which was quite frightening.

Why are you holding me so tightly? Did we always sleep like this?

"It's a pity, it never happened."

"Illusory Ghost Princess said with some regret, before explaining, "It was only after I disguised myself as Snow Princess that I realized how reassuring it is to sleep while holding you."

Morning is when a person's yang energy is at its peak. The yang energy accumulated throughout the night is like the sun in the east, bright and dazzling.

Qianhuan Guiji lowered her gaze, and Lin Yi saw that she seemed about to speak. Knowing that she might go too far once she opened her mouth, he quickly said, "We can talk later. I need to go to the bathroom."

After saying that, Lin Yi rushed out the door, and Qianhuan Guiji did not stop him.

Once Lin Yi was dressed and ready to go, Qianhuan Guiji came out of the room.

By now, almost everyone else had arrived.

Guishan Daoist Bai Lianxian, Xiao Se and Wang Jinxuan, Lin Yi and Qianhuan Guiji.

Lin Yi tapped the little grass one last time and, finding it still there, felt relieved.

"Alright, we can set off now!"

Lin Yi shouted enthusiastically, like a tour guide.

"Let's go!"

Only Qianhuan Guiji responded. Guishan and Bailianxian had the burden of being seniors and couldn't let go of it so easily. Xiaocao and Wang Jinxuan were usually very well-behaved, while Xiaose had been gazing at the sky for too long last night and was now a bit tired.

Besides, with Thousand Illusion Demon Princess around, they can't be happy.

Only Qianhuan Guiji followed Lin Yi's roar without any pressure, as if the two had become much closer after the night and were no longer so hostile.

Thinking of this, Xiao Se felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Something must have happened between them.

But this couldn't be blamed on Lin Yi. Xiao Se could only secretly vow to himself that he must cultivate diligently and use his own abilities to avenge Lin Yi in the future.

After leaving the city, the group took a boat to Dongting Lake.

The Xiangjiang River and Dongting Lake are connected, and you can take a boat directly to them, which is much more comfortable than traveling by land.

There was a master on board who could control the water and sail at great speed; they could reach Dongting Lake in no more than a day.

The Demon Emperor's Secret Realm will only open when the moon is full, so there is quite a lot of time.

Another group also set off at dawn, but their destination was the Tongtian River, which was much farther away. Moreover, they traveled from east to west, and most of the way they were going against the current, with a very rapid current.

Normally, it would take a day to travel that far, but King Liang had many extraordinary people under his command. The ten large ships were lined up end to end, as if they were connected together.

This was the power of Elder Huai. Then, the water surged and the boat shot off like an arrow, cutting through the white waves on the river and rushing westward.

At this speed, we should be able to reach Tongtian River before dark.

Lin Yi also witnessed this grand scene.

Only the King of Liang could probably cause such a commotion on the Xiang River.

He only arrived in Xingsha City yesterday, and he's in such a hurry this morning. I wonder where he's going.

Lin Yi ignored him and steered his small boat, letting it drift slowly. Putting aside the chaotic scene, the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

At least, they didn't start fighting.

Until they reached a certain body of water, Lin Yi smelled a familiar scent.

It tastes like Master's cooking.

Lin Yi wondered how Qu Jing had wandered out of the city. He guessed she was probably looking for him, but if she appeared in front of Qianhuan Guiji at this time, it would definitely be very dangerous.

Previously, when Qianhuan Guiji was hiding as He Dong, she was probably playing some kind of role-playing game, so she didn't show much malice towards Qu Jing. But now that she's revealed her true colors, how could she possibly tolerate Lin Yi calling someone else "master"?

Lin Yi knew that Qianhuan Guiji's senses might not be as sharp as his, and she might not have noticed Qu Jing yet, so he quickly said, "Since we're going to explore the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, it's not good to be too conspicuous. How about we do something to hide the boat's tracks? Can you help me?"

Lin Yi was speaking to Qianhuan Guiji, and he figured she wouldn't refuse such a small request.

She went to great lengths to conceal the boat, which may have made her less aware of its surroundings.

By concealing the boat, Qu Jing wouldn't see it and therefore wouldn't encounter them.

As resourceful as Lin Yi was, he quickly came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.
