HIs sword was just about to cut right through the two of them.

Shen Ying raised her hand, blocking the sword’s path. Cracks echoed throughout the array. The sharp demonic sword suddenly broke into two. The other party stared at her in shock. Shen Ying reached forward and grabbed his hand.

The next moment, he felt like everything around him was spinning. There was a loud crash. The new Demon King was thrown onto the floor. All the demonic Qi had dissipated from his body.

“Speak nicely!”

As if he could not feel any pain, the Demon King began to struggle and scream, “Return it to me, return it to me, liar! You’re all liars! Destroy, I’m going to destroy all of you…” Suddenly, there was an explosion of demonic Qi. The man’s body became surrounded by a massive amount of black Qi so that he became one with the darkness around him. He looked just like… he was being swallowed alive.

“Eh?”

He was about to disappear into the demonic Qi when Shen Ying frowned and kneeled down to pull him out of it. She narrowed her eyes, causing the demonic Qi to retreat, as if light had shone onto it. The demonic Qi around the man dissipated once more.

Yu Hong felt her legs turn to jelly. She leaned against the wall, resisting the urge to fall to her knees. Was she mistaken? Why did she suddenly feel like Sect Master’s aura had expanded by so much in the blink of an eye?

Before she could figure out the answer to her own question, she realised that the Demon King lying on the ground was completely cleansed of all demonic Qi. Yet, there was still a familiar…

“Immortal Qi!” Yu Hong exclaimed. *How could this be? Was there a cultivator in this world who could have both types of auras? *

The man got to his knees, as if using every ounce of willpower he had in his body to stand up. Yet, he simply did not have enough strength. After all the demonic Qi disappeared, they could hardly sense any Qi left in his body. The amount of immortal Qi he had left was not even comparable to the amount an Earth Immortal had. It felt almost like he was about to pass away any time soon. The craziness in his eyes was gone. HIs pupils were black again. His gaze, however remained locked on the purple item in Shen Ying’s hand.

“Little Hong, do you have a pill that allows one to recover Immortal Qi?” Shen Ying glanced at Yu Hong beside her.

Yu Hong paused, then reacted after awhile. She quickly nodded. “Yes!” Turning around, she retrieved a bottle from the cupboard and offered one of the pills inside of it to the man kneeling on the ground.

The man did not receive it. Instead, he glared at Yu Hong.

Yu Hong did not waste anytime speaking to him. Instead, she stuffed it into his mouth. The weak immortal Qi in the man’s body became stronger and stronger as the colour returned to his face.

“Sect Master, is he… is he not a demon?!” Yu Hong asked as she watched him recover before her very eyes. That pill was meant to replenish immortal Qi, which was detrimental to demons. Yet, this man was getting better!

“Yes.” Shen Ying nodded.

“But there was demonic Qi all around him earlier on. Isn’t it true that only demons can gather demonic Qi?” Yu Hong was pretty sure that it was demonic Qi that was surrounding the man’s body earlier. What’s more, even Lan Hua could not subdue him.

“He did not gather it.”

“Huh?” Yu Hong paused, not understanding Shen Ying.

“He was not the one who gathered the demonic Qi!” Shen Ying pondered for a moment and added, “The demonic Qi was attacking him!”

“What…”

But Shen Ying did not continue explaining matters to Yu Hong. Instead, she dragged a stool from beside her and sat down lazily. Addressing the man, she said, “Alright, tell me your story.”

The man looked confused for a brief second, not understanding what she wanted from him. Then, suddenly, he smiled coolly. It was clear that he had no intention to speak.

Shen Ying waved the purple gaseous mass in front of him. “If you talk to me properly, I will give this to you.”

“You…” He fixed his gaze on the gaseous mass in her hand, looking like he was going to break down. Suddenly, he looked down. Shen Ying caught rage, sadness and rebellion in his eyes for a moment. Then, there was remained pure helplessness. “What do you want to know?”

“What is this?” Shen Ying raised the purple gaseous mass and looked at him. “And what are you?”

His eyes widened. An undecipherable emotion flashed across his face as he replied, “This purple gaseous mass is my Dharma treasure. I can only cultivate as both an immortal and a demon if I have it. I just want what belongs to me.”

“Oh, I see!” Shen Ying kept the purple gaseous mass and placed her fist under her chin. She narrowed her eyes as she studied him closely. After a few seconds, she asked, “Let me ask you something else. What plane are you from?”

“…”

Lonemoon and Yi Qing only took one day to rescue the remaining people from the sect. They did not meet with much resistance. In all honesty, they thought that the new Demon King was not doing a very good job. It was possible that he had not even considered repairing the demonic realm. Yet, Lonemoon and Yi Qing could not figure out exactly what he was aiming to do.

“Has he spoken yet?” Yi Qing turned to Lonemoon.

“He’s refusing to say anything.” Lonemoon shook his head and nudged the person next to him. “Shen Ying, are you sure the new Demon King is an invader?”

“I’m not.” Shen Ying shook her head.

Lonemoon’s expression darkened. “Then why did you send me to interrogate him?”

“His data is weird.” Shen Ying tilted her head. After a moment, she said, “Half and a half.”

“What do you mean?” What half-and-half?

“Half of his data is the same as the immortals on this world. The other half… is different.”

Was there such a thing? Lonemoon pursed his lips. “He’s not mixed, is he?” Maybe he’s the descendant of an invader.

“There isn’t such a thing in planes,” Shen Ying answered, breaking Lonemoon’s train of thought. “Each person can only belong to one plane.” Even Father Niu, who was now an assistant manager of this plane had changed the plane to which he belonged. One person could not belong to two planes at once.

“Then what kind of situation is he in?”

“I don’t know.” Shen Ying shook her head. This was the first time she was seeing something like this. She flicked her wrist and retrieved the purple gaseous mass once more. Somehow, she knew she had to analyse this closely.

“Is this what the new Demon King is looking for?” Lonemoon glanced at the gaseous mass in her hands..

“I wonder what it is?” Yi Qing asked.

“I don’t have an answer yet.” Shen Ying shook her head slowly. Suddenly, she faced Lonemoon. “Father Niu, have you found Little Black?”

Lonemoon paused and exchanged a meaningful glance with Shen Ying. His expression darkened as he replied, “No! We are sure we can sense his aura, but…” He trailed off mid-sentence. The crowning of a new Demon King indicated that the old one has passed. Perhaps the Skyfiend had known this all along. It was more likely than not that something horrible had happened to Little Black.

“No,” Shen Ying retorted. “That man cannot kill Little Black.”

“Why not?” Lonemoon stared blankly at her.

Shen Ying did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, “Have you found the treasury?”

“What?” Lonemoon paused. “We went to rescue people, not to raid their homes and look into their treasuries…” He stopped himself mid-sentence when he finally understood what Shen Ying was asking. That purple gaseous mass was found in Yu Hong’s body. When that new Demon King first got ahold of her, he was only looking for that hairpin. In other words, that purple gaseous mass entered Yu Hong’s body through the hairpin. And that hairpin was taken from the treasury. Little Black’s disappearance could have had something to do with that treasury!
