Chapter 216 All schemes will not end well.
Xinmo and Xue Tong stood in the middle of the lake, watching the monster being devoured by a giant black wolf on the opposite side. The ugly flesh on its body was being bitten off piece by piece by the black wolf's sharp teeth.
When these pieces of flesh fell to the ground, each one contained the bones of a child.
Xue Tong's voice was filled with intense hatred, as if she wished she could tear Ji Song to pieces.
How many people did he actually eat?
Hearing the little girl's gritted teeth, the inner demon shifted its gaze from the skeletons to Xue Tong.
I shouldn't say anything, after all, she's a kind-hearted child.
The girl thought this to herself, but her words showed no consideration for Xue Tong's kindness: "Look at the deep resentment emanating from these skeletons. This prince opposite us has probably been eating people continuously for the past two hundred years."
"Two hundred years!" Xue Tong's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
Having eaten people continuously for two hundred years, they probably would have devoured the entire Dali Dynasty long ago.
The inner demon seemed to sense the girl's thoughts, and the girl spoke again: "Of course he's not going to stay in one place to eat. If he had stayed in the Great Li Dynasty with this kind of destructive eating style, he would have attracted the attention of the immortal sects long ago."
As she spoke, the girl's icy eyes were fixed on the monster being torn apart not far away, while her slender hand was behind her back, her fingertips rapidly calculating something.
Xue Lan had previously studied divination under the guidance of Master Shen Suan, but the inner demon was now using an ancient demonic technique that she had unearthed from the depths of her memory.
The ancient times of the Yuanming Realm refer to tens of thousands of years ago. Now, the magical system of the Yuanming Realm has undergone tens of thousands of years of development and is extremely diverse, in harmony with the universe.
However, ancient magical arts are different. All ancient magical arts have a very singular function, so singular that it is almost obsessive. One spends a lifetime practicing one method, and that method has only one use.
For example, the divination method used by the inner demon at this time has only one purpose—to seek revenge.
The girl's fingertips moved faster and faster, even leaving afterimages. An invisible thread, which only she could perceive, flew out from her fingertips. At its tip, it looked like a small silver needle was threaded through it, stringing together all the "beads".
These "beads" slowly appeared on a vast map in the mind of the inner demon, and familiar place names appeared in her heart.
The girl slowly lowered her hand. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"What a ruthless plan!"
Xue Tong had been focused on the monster fighting the black wolf when she suddenly heard someone behind her say that. Turning around, she saw a streak of bright red blood trickling from the corner of the girl's mouth.
The little girl was frightened by Xue Lan's repeated injuries and immediately jumped up.
"It's not you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the girl's wrist twitched slightly, and the huge black wolf that was fighting slowly dissipated, turning into pitch-black demonic energy and returning to the girl's back. It was like a blazing black flame that fell behind the girl, making her red dress look extremely alluring, and the red beads by her ears reflected a cold sword light.
At some point, the inner demon still held the Su Jun Sword in front of him, its tip pointing directly at the enormous creature opposite him.
"I didn't take you seriously before; you were just a demon god's avatar anyway." The girl's voice was clear, cold, and hoarse.
"But now I'm a little interested in you. Your Highness, could you please tell me how you went to such lengths to get to the Yuanming Realm and eat so many people?"
The cold voice drew out its tone, like a heavy hammer striking Xue Tong's heart again and again:
"Are you looking for... a certain being in the Northern River Region of the Upper Realm?"
After the girl finished speaking, Xue Tong froze on the spot. She watched as the huge mountain of flesh, which had remained motionless since the beginning, began to tremble. In an instant, millions of eyes sprouted from its smooth flesh, densely packed and utterly disgusting.
A hoarse voice sounded, as if someone was repeatedly pulling at her ear with a dull saw.
"You are...her descendant?"
"The Silver Moon Wolf Clan can enjoy the top-grade spiritual treasure, the Ice Lotus, when they reach the Core Formation stage. I never expected that there would be a junior who would fall into demonic possession. If I'm not mistaken, you are the heir who has always been by the side of the Wolf Clan's chief. Your name should be—Xue Chongyu."
His tone was full of smugness.
The inner demon was both amused and exasperated by this person's speculation, but since the other party had already come up with an excuse, he had no choice but to go along with it.
Xue Tong looked into the girl's eyes and asked with her gaze, "Is this alright?"
The inner demon didn't take it seriously. After glancing at Xue Tong, he spoke directly, saying only five words: "You have good eyesight."
Xue Tong covered her face.
This time, she stole Xue Chongyu's identity; it really is like a grandmother betraying her grandson.
Of course, despite the complaints, Xue Tong didn't really care who the inner demon was currently using.
Because this monster can't get out.
Since she came to Xue Lan's side, apart from their first encounter at Ji Yan on Luoxia Mountain, Xue Lan has never let any demon escape.
Lord Wolf is decisive, ruthless, and efficient in his actions.
This Moonlit Sword Domain is probably Ji Song's graveyard.
She was more concerned with the issues that preceded her inner demons.
Based on what the inner demon said and Ji Song's answer, it's not hard to guess that the person they were cryptically talking about was Xue Lan.
The fact that Xue Lan was the reason Song could eat people, does that mean...?
The thought that surfaced in Xue Tong's mind made her heart pound.
In the Dali Dynasty, the practice of harvesting and mutilating living children was like a persistent, intractable disease, despite repeated prohibitions. These were the children who were eaten.
There is also Hua Ling, who looks very much like Xue Lan.
"Is he looking for Xue Lan's reincarnation? The Demon God knows that Xue Lan's reincarnation is in the Great Li Dynasty!"
Hearing the little girl's urgent voice, the inner demon turned to look at her, a hint of appreciation appearing in his eyes.
That's really true...
For two hundred years, the Demon God instructed Ji Song to eat people in the southern part of the Yuanming mortal realm, with the intention of killing the innocent rather than letting the guilty go free.
To completely kill Xue Lan's reincarnation.
Xue Tong had no doubt that if it weren't for the fear of alarming the top experts in the lower realm of Yuanming, thereby angering the Heavenly Dao and the upper realm, Ji Song would have wanted to annihilate everyone in the entire southern region of the lower realm.
But in the end, the demon god still... made a mistake.
He never imagined that the frail little girl would not fall into Ji Song's hands, but instead travel thousands of miles to the territory of Da Shun.
He never imagined that Xue Lan was not reborn with her memories intact, but rather merged with the Earth Soul halfway through her journey and entered the Xuanhuang Sect by chance.
They schemed and plotted, racking their brains to the limit.
Unexpectedly, the lonely soul that had been wandering in the river of time for thousands of years still appeared before him.
For the first time in his life, Xue Tong understood what destiny meant.
She's a bit hypocritical; when she forced Xue Lan to change the names of several main characters in the book, she refused to believe in fate. She wanted each of them to have a happy ending.
but now……
She hoped that the demon god wouldn't just do it this time, but again, and again after that...
All schemes will not end well.
For the soldiers who died in the battle of Luoxia Mountain, for the people displaced by the demons, for the children who were harvested and mutilated and left homeless...
His soul was scattered and his spirit was destroyed; this was his fate!
