So I Am A Demon Descendent!

“If you want to ask the person who shot and attacked you, I’m sorry. The company found the sniper’s hideout afterwards, but after checking all the surveillance nearby, they found no suitable suspects. The other party probably had a special ability to avoid surveillance.”

The Lightning King said, “As for the people who captured you, they were Shen Meng, the third master of the Shen family, and Shen Yuan, the 69th member of the demon descendants list, who specializes in mixed martial powers.”

At this moment, all the information that had been seen but forgotten flitted through Li Xianyu’s mind. After awakening, his body was not the only thing that had been strengthened. His memory became stronger as well. He even remembered his sister’s chest size in junior high school, details he had seen but had not remembered previously.

The Ancient Demon app was a very comprehensive software. As long as one took the time to immerse in it, there was a lot of information about the demon descendants community to be learned.

Li Xianyu remembered the information he had seen in the app. In the demon descendants community today, the orthodox forces were composed of 480 temples and 72 Taoist values, as well as seven major surnames: Chen, Shen, Wang, Wu, Xu, Zhao, and Shentu.

In the new era, society did not pay attention to family hierarchies, but the power of demon descendants were in their genes. Hence the family name was still somewhat important.

Above stated were the big families who were basically untouchable. In addition, there were countless small forces scattered everywhere.

Baoze Group was mainly aimed at dealing with the small forces and scattered groups. The big families usually abided by the rules and lived their lives in peace; there was no need to deal with them.

But when it came to matters like the Great Deities Palace, these families would become more difficult than the small forces, even posing a threat to Baoze itself.

Hidden in the shadows, however, were the unorthodox sects. They were despised by everyone. Regardless of Baoze, the Taoist and Buddhist associations, as well as the family forces, they aimed to kill these people whenever they saw them.

“How do you know that the snipers are not from the Shens?” Li Xianyu asked.

“Because no one dares to ignore the threat of the strongest, especially one that has been forced to her wits’ end.” The Lightning King shrugged. “The Great Deities Palace is about to open. Of course, they will not ignore you, but send younger generations here to test you and at the same time, gain experience for themselves. Unexpectedly, someone took the chance to kill you. With the reopening of the Great Deities Palace, the situation is becoming chaotic, but everyone’s purpose is the same. You have your great-grandmother as a safety net. They may covet you, but it is impossible to kill you. Killing you is not their purpose. Last night’s killer purely targeted you. What do you think is the reason?”

Li Xianyu shivered. “To pin the blame on the Shens? Or force my great-grandma to run amok and disrupt the situation? But, if they do this, it’s harder for them to find the Great Deities Palace.”

The Lightning King said, “I have two conjectures: that the people who killed you are either related to the demon descendants of that year or of foreign descent. Needless to say, the more disarray we are in, the happier they will be. For the former opinion, you have to know it’s not just your father who has been to the Great Deities Palace. Who can guarantee that the demon descendants didn’t leave any clues to that place? The person who has the clue will not hesitate to kill you, and when the palace opens, he will be able to monopolise the treasures inside.”

“Next question, about my great-grandma,” Li Xianyu said. “What does the Gokudo Path mean?”

“Do you know the concept of Gokudo Path? It is how the demon descendants recognise one of strength. Every Gokudo Path is almost invincible. In our time, there is only one person, which is the Buddha Head. But there are also strong and weak Gokudo Path people. The demon descendants 80 years ago would have been truly invincible in the present age. In the recent 200 years, your great-grandmother was the one who stood at the top.

My wastrel of a great-grandmother was actually so powerful. This idea flashed across Li Xianyu’s mind again.

“Your grandmother is different from the other demon descendants, as well as the Gokudo Path people,” said the Lightning King. “The black pearl is the place where she lives, but it is also her biggest shackle. It starts with your grandmother’s roots. If San Wu was a sharp knife, her sole purpose was to murder. On the other hand, your grandmother was transformed into a war spirit, with only one purpose.”

He seemed to have revealed some great secret as he mumbled, “Destruction.”

“She is a war machine who exists to destroy everything, including herself, until she is invincible. More than a hundred years ago, our predecessors really wanted to be invincible. In that era, there were too many enemies in our country. They all failed to find the Great Deities Palace. In order to find it, they did not hesitate to violate taboos, culminating in them creating this war spirit. They destroyed the enemy and also themselves at the same time.”

Li Xianyu’s eyes widened. “So, my great-grandma’s powers is the masterpiece of time, as well as the strength of our ancestors.”

“If War Spirit Wushuang breaks her own pearl, she will show her true colours. No one is not afraid of such a war spirit. Your grandmother is your greatest form of protection. However, if she broke the spirit pearl, there is no way back, because there is only one black pearl in the world. So, she couldn’t save your father back then. Your father begged for mercy, and was granted in the form of death.”

“But, you can’t die. You are the only blood of the Li family. When you die, she won’t have any more reasons to exist. She would push herself into the abyss of despair and destroy the whole world as well,” the Lightning King said. “Otherwise, why do you think you could have lived to this age?”

Li Xianyu whispered, “However, the significance of the Great Deities Palace is too great. If you can control it, you can control the world? That means even Great-grandma can’t stop human greed.”

“Precisely,” the Lightning King said. “For the sake of peace, it is necessary for me to suggest that you produce a descendant as early as possible, so that your great-grandmother will feel that she still has a family line. When the world is beautiful, she won’t have wild thoughts.”

Li Xianyu muttered, “Great-Grandma is mine, I’m not leaving her to my son.”

“What did you say?”

“I mean, is the company providing arranged brides? I think Thunderbolt Battle Lady is good. Short-haired beauty, hot figure. Although Tongtong is a loli, she does not meet my criteria, but if I groom her for several years into a capable young woman, I would reluctantly settle for it. There are other beautiful women in our company as well. If the company can provide me with a wife, I don’t mind producing a descendant.”

The Lightning King broke out in cold sweat. “What’s said here stays here. Don’t go out and say this. You’ll be killed. But I think San Wu is a good choice. I can just give her this task, to give birth to your children.”

Speaking of San Wu, Li Xianyu came to grief and burst into tears.

“I applied to change teammates, yet you let San Wu protect me. Are you serious? I want to complain that she’s just a fake.”

If he remembered correctly, his eyes were destroyed by her weapons.

The Lightning King said, “She failed in her mission. According to the regulations, 500 points have been deducted from her. Now, she’s been injured by your great-grandma. She’s lying in the ward downstairs. In view of this lesson, she won’t be responsible for protecting you in the future. The company has more important tasks for her. When she recovers from her injuries, the company will send her to investigate the Ancient Gods Clan.”

In fact, Li Xianyu was too weak. No matter how skilled one was, it was impossible to protect him fully. However, the Lightning King did not tell him that, for fear of hurting his self-esteem. Clowns also had their own reputation and self-esteem.

The door of the ward was pushed open again. Great-Grandma came in, snacking on some spicy cracker strips.

“Go out, I have something to say to my great-grandson,” Great-Grandma declared.

Her precious great-grandson had died once, and she was still angry about it. Hence, she wasn’t very pleasant to the Lightning King all day.

The Lightning King did not want to invite trouble, and immediately changed his expression and said, “Oh.”

When he walked to the door, Great-Grandma frowned and said, “No monitors or bugs, right?”

The Lightning King said, “I dare not.” He closed the door respectfully.

Grandma put the spicy cracker strips in her mouth, sucked her fingers carefully, patted Li Xianyu on the shoulder, and took the opportunity to wipe the residue on his body.

“Ha, good grandson, Great-Grandma knew that you wouldn’t die that easily.”

But this time, despite having seen her great-grandson’s wilfulness, she was surprised to see that Li Xianyu did not talk back to her, nor take the opportunity to take advantage of her. He bowed his head, causing his fringe to cover his face, as his eyes were hidden in the shadows.

For a moment, she seemed to see Li Wuxiang, her great-grandson who had passed away.

“Great-Grandma, I saw you and my dad in the past,” after a long time, he whispered.

When she heard his words, Great-Grandma put away her bright and lively expression and stared at him. “What did you see?”

“Not much, but I know how he died,” Li Xianyu pulled up his sleeve, grabbed the penetrating infusion needle, and made a deep cut on his arm. The red blood stained his whole arm instantly, but his face was expressionless.

Soon, a shocking scene emerged, the wound started to recover by itself, fully healing in a few seconds, leaving no scars.

Li Xianyu looked at her and squeezed out a bitter smile. “If you remember correctly, the Li family’s power is related to strengthening. But, this is my power. I call it Resurrection of Life. I didn’t tell the Lightning King about this. Great-Grandma, answer me honestly. Am I really my father’s son, and your great-grandson?”
