C99 Candle Nine Yin (1/2)
The land of Tianmu was quiet and cold. Compared to the Qing Qiu mountain, this place was much quieter. Candle Jiu Yin knew that Yun Jiu Tang hadn't stepped into the Demon World for a few months, and now his Solitary Star Palace was covered in dust and cobwebs. This was just as good as it was. Currently, other than the Devil Ancestor, he was the only one left in the demonic world. He just so happened to have control over the situation, so he didn't need to worry about others fighting over his power.
Zhu Jiuyin thought to himself, the matter that Devil Ancestor wanted me to personally come to Qing Qiu Mountain and bring Yun Jiu Tang back to the Demon Palace, I don't know what it is. From the Devil Ancestor's sullen and anxious expression, I can roughly guess that I might have to interrogate Yun Jiu Tang again, but in the past few months, other than entering the Han Sea and killing beasts, what else has I done? Was it worth the devil's fuss to call him back? In Zhu Jiuyin's opinion, it was better for the demon realm to not have Yun Jiu Tang. His hypocritical words, full of righteousness and morality, and the six domains' justice, were tiresome to hear. In the demon realm, it was always full of schemes, tricks, and evil, so what's the use of his words.
After passing through a few palaces and pavilions, they soon arrived at the Demon Palace. Standing in the spacious hall of the Demon Palace, Zhu Jiuyin looked at Yun Jiuchang with some unease, ”Junior Yun, I'm afraid you've long forgotten how long it has been since you last came to the Demon Palace. All you've been doing is staying in the Green Hill and that Gu Xueluo, if you don't come back now, you've forgotten about the Demon World!”
”What did you say!?” ”Let me tell you, don't cause trouble here.” Yun Jiu Tang glared at him as if he were a stranger, ”Zhu Jiuyin, I respect you as my brother, but don't push your luck!” With that, he turned his body to the side, unwilling to pay any more attention to Zhu Jiuyin.
As Zhu Jiuyin looked at Yun Jiu Tang's angry appearance, he suddenly thought back to when Yun Jiu Tang had just become the young master of the Lone Star Palace. Back then, his youth was brimming with vigor, heroic and charming, his speech and actions filled with sincerity. In the short span of three years, he had become so overbearing and unreasonable. Had he changed, or had his attitude changed? Although he and Yun Jiu Tang had become brothers from the opposite sex long ago, in the name of a brother, they no longer had any feelings for each other. In any case, he didn't need him now. Perhaps he would never need anyone on the road to becoming the overlord of his own schemes.
Zhu Jiuyin coldly replied, ”Whether it is me taking an inch forward or you taking an inch forward, Yun Jiu Tang, don't think that the demon realm that you did in the Qing Qiu Mountain doesn't know, and that the demon realm will not condone you forever!”
Just as Yun Jiuchang was about to fight back, the sound of powerful footsteps could be heard from the hall, ”What are you two arguing about? Could it be that you want to rebel?”
The two quickly bowed deeply, ”Devil Ancestor, I dare not!”
He saw the sword ruler's eyebrow slam as he shook off his loose and heavy demon robe and sat upright on the dragon throne. He closed his eyes and began to meditate, breathing in and out. His forehead was dripping with sweat. Zhu Jiuyin raised his head and observed the Demon Ancestor's actions. He knew that the Demon Ancestor had just finished cultivating in a secret room in the backyard and had yet to truly recover his primordial spirit. He thought about it and wondered what she had gained today.
A moment later, the sword ruler heaved a long sigh of relief as his primordial spirit began to recover and his breathing became smoother. He opened his eyes and stared at Yun Jiuchang. A sinister light shone from his forehead, making Yun Jiuchang's entire body feel uncomfortable. At this moment, Zhu Jiuyin secretly rejoiced that Yun Jiuchang was about to suffer.
”Jiu Tang, you haven't returned to Demonic City since you killed a beast in the Great Sea. What have you been doing?” He spoke with a calm tone, but it was filled with an irrefutable dignity.
”Go back to the Devil Ancestor. During this time, Jiu Tang has been trying to find the whereabouts of Mu Xue Yu Jue.”
”Any idea?”
”Currently... No new discoveries have yet been made. ”
With an explosive ”pa” sound, the sword ruler's eyebrow suddenly stood up while patting the armrest of the dragon throne, ”Do you still have the face to say that you've been doing nothing for the past few months in the Qing Qiu mountain, do you know that you've been hanging out with that destitute Gu Xueluo all day long?” The question was like a thunderclap that shook the hearts and souls of those who heard it.
Candle Jiu Yin clearly remembered that the Devil Ancestor had not been this enraged in a long time. It seemed that Yun Jiu Tang would not be able to escape his doom today. In order to observe the situation, he had to first let Yun Jiuchang have a taste of his own suffering.
”Devil Ancestor, it's not what you think. Gu Xueluo and I are just traveling together to find Mu Xueluo.” Yun Jiu Tang knew that now was not the time to publicly communicate with Gu Xue Luo. ”Although Jiu Tang hasn't found the whereabouts of Mu Xuejian, he accidentally made a new discovery in the middle of the music industry …”
”Oh? What new discovery! ” He knew that the secret of the painting hall's spring was going to be exposed, but it was just a matter of time.
Candle Jiu Yin's heart skipped a beat. This Yun Jiu Tang really didn't know what was good for him. How could he poke at the devil ancestor's secret? This was going to be a good show. At this moment, he even wanted to laugh out loud and see how the battle would end.
Yun Jiu Tang raised his head and said, ”Devil Ancestor, did you arrange for Spring of the Painting Hall to be placed in the middle stage? Do you know how many secrets she stole from the central musical field? Destroying the Mysterious Great Vein Map and assassinating Yu Changxiu almost caused a huge conflict between the Devil Realm and Taixuan … ”
”How dare you!” The sword ruler's brows raised as he reprimanded loudly, roughly interrupting Yun Jiuchang, ”Does benzun need you to judge my work?” ”I haven't even settled the score with you, yet you dare to question This Sovereign instead?” Do you think that I don't know that you joined forces with Yin Bao Scroll to force the death of Painting Hall Spring? She could have continued to hide in the music industry and become a chess piece for us to use at any time. Yet, you took the initiative to reveal her identity.
Devil Ancestor, it's not that I want to expose her identity, it's just that because of her killing intent, the people of Supreme Mystery City have long set their eyes on her, and they want to lure her in on purpose. ”Yun Jiu Tang hurriedly tried to defend himself, but today he had to first stabilize his anger because it was a good plan,” If I didn't do this, she would have been used to turn around and attack the demon realm. ”
”Nonsense!” Yue Hua is loyal to the demon realm and will never betray it! ” ”If it weren't for you messing up my plan, I could have gotten the Mysterious Great Vein Map and the great gift that she had originally mentioned.”
He knew that the gift must be the ordinary-looking Ancient Unpolished Jade. Luckily, he followed the Painting Hall Spring into the Ming Xie Heavenly Poison Array. If he really did fall into the hands of the sword ruler, who knows what kind of disaster it would cause.
”That's right, if it wasn't for Junior Yun disturbing us, not only would we have obtained the Mysterious Great Vein Map, we would also be able to bring the moonlight back to Demonic City.” Zhu Jiuyin spread out his hands, shrugged, and lightly waved his fan, ”This is great, now there's nothing left, the devil ancestor has wasted the past four years cultivating the moonlight for nothing.” Zhu Jiuyin knew that once he said these words, he would definitely infuriate Yun Jiuchang and incite his anger, things would be much easier now.
”Zhu Jiuyin, don't sow dissension in the middle of it. Painting Hall's Chun should have died in the first place, and if she had fallen into the hands of Yin Bao Scrolls, the situation would have worsened. Falling into the Central Winding Peak's cliff face would have been the best outcome for her.”
