Chapter 1918 What Is a Demon
Chapter 1918: What Is a Demon? Chapter 1918: What Is a Demon? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Mo Lingzi, kneel!” Ye Chen’s words made everyone present panic.! Yin Che and Bai Zhentang’s faces turned pale. What the hell was Ye Chen doing! He actually wanted Mo Lingzi to kneel? Did he have a death wish? Mo Lingzi could easily kill Ye Chen! Moreover, Mo Lingzi’s status was noble and he was the subordinate of the legendary Demon Emperor! Who would dare to ask him to kneel? In the entire Lingwu Continent, no one had the qualifications to do so! Long Yitian’s expression was even more ferocious. He really had to give in to Ye Chen. This kid’s arrogance was on another level altogether! However, this would also drag the Mystic Moon Sect down! He suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Yin Che and Bai Zhentang, “Now that things have come to this, we can only attack together.” “Even if Mo Lingzi wants to kill us, we have to make him pay a price to do so!” Yin Che glared at the demonic-robed phantom with murderous intent. He said to Ye Chen, “Ye Chen, you don’t have to bother with his ridiculous test. This b*stard is clearly toying with us. We will send you away. After that, leave the battle to the three of us. Hmph, so what if he is Mo Lingzi? I have always wanted to compete against experts from the ancient era!” As he said that, Long Yitian also released his killing intent and locked onto the demonic-robed phantom. The grand elders of the Mystic Moon Sect were readying themselves to go all out! “Wait a minute,” Bai Zhentang said, “I know my disciple quite well. I’m afraid that things aren’t that simple!” “Let’s wait and see.” The three grand elders kept their guard up, but at the same time turned their gazes toward the demonic-robed phantom to see what would happen next. At this moment, beneath the demonic robe, there was a pair of cold eyes that flickered with endless anger. The demonic-robed phantom walked toward Ye Chen step by step. With every step he took, the surrounding space seemed to crack. “You have a familiar aura, but so what?” “My guess is that you have been to some places in the Demon Territory.” “Even if you come from the Demon Territory, and even if you are the descendant of a Demon Territory expert, you are not qualified to make me kneel.” “In this world, only the Demon Emperor can make me kneel!” “And the Demon Emperor is already dead. There is no one in the world who can make me kneel.” “Now, it’s time to send you on your way, you reckless ant.” Every step Mo Lingzi took pressured everyone present. Xia Ruoxue’s face was pale as she grabbed Ye Chen’s hand tightly. No matter what Mo Lingzi wanted to do to Ye Chen, she wanted to stay by his side. Even if she had to self-destruct, she had to buy time for Ye Chen. She knew very well that Xia Lingqiu had imprinted her soul using a forbidden technique. No matter what, she still had to return to the Spirit Immortal Palace, but she wanted to be with Ye Chen till the very last moment. “Don’t worry.” Ye Chen patted Xia Ruoxue’s hand when he sensed her nervousness. Xia Ruoxue did not know why, but she felt a little more at ease when said that. Then, Ye Chen walked toward Mo Lingzi fearlessly. Everyone’s breathing stopped! Mo Lingzi’s hand flickered with a dark blue light. A powerful sword that contained surging demonic energy appeared. The demonic sword danced and hovered high in the sky. It was about to strike! Yin Che, Bai Zhentang, and Long Yitian looked at each other with determination in their eyes. “Attack!” The three of them released their auras and were about to rush forward. Ye Chen spoke. “Mo Lingzi, do you remember what I said to you that day at the foot of Blood Skeleton Mountain?” His voice was calm, as if he was recounting the past. Yin Che, Bai Zhentang, and Long Yitian stopped what they were doing. They were stunned. What was Ye Chen doing? However, when they looked at Mo Lingzi, they realized that the latter’s body was trembling, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. No one knew what kind of stormy waves had been set off in Mo Lingzi’s heart. The matter discussed at Blood Skeleton Mountain… Only he and the Demon Emperor knew about this! There were no records in the world! How did this kid know about this? Also, this tone of voice… Why was it so familiar? Ye Chen smiled and walked toward Mo Lingzi. He continued, “The ghastly white bones of the Blood Skeleton Mountain. Are they demons?” “Isn’t that so? But what is a demon in this world?” “Demons have been here since the beginning of the creation of the world.” “Demons are not the source of evil in this world.” “Demons care about the common people and dare to stand against the Divine Kingdom!” “Demons dye the sky with blood and shake the world with their auras!” “Demons laugh at the heavens and point their swords at the sky!” “Demons use their Dao hearts as their foundation and righteousness as their emotions. When they take that step, they wield the sword of life and death to cut down all of the injustice in the world!” “They fight against the rules set by the high and mighty!” At this moment, the scene in front of him and his memories overlapped. That day, the Demon Emperor had saved Mo Lingzi at Blood Skeleton Mountain. The two of them were seriously injured. Behind them were the corpses and blood of the peak experts of the Lingwu Continent. Under a bodhi tree, Mo Lingzi was extremely weak and barely managed to hold on. He looked at the stalwart and dignified man in front of him and asked,”Demon Emperor, what exactly is a demon? Why do those people want to kill us? Why?!” “Do we demons have to be despised by everyone and represent the existence of evil?” The Demon Emperor laughed. He extended a finger and released his killing intent into the sky. At the same time, the Demon Emperor had uttered the same words Ye Chen had just said to him. At that moment, Mo Lingzi swore to follow the Demon Emperor to the ends of the world. Only such a man was qualified to stand at the peak of the world and tell all living beings what a demon was! At this moment, in the Nether Canyon, Mo Lingzi’s eyes were already moist. He stared at the young man in front of him. He smiled. He cried. He knew that the Demon Emperor had returned. The top expert of the Lingwu Continent and the nightmare of the Divine Kingdom had returned. Plop! He bent his knees and knelt in front of Ye Chen. Everything seemed to freeze at this moment. Yin Che, Bai Zhentang, and Long Yitian’s mouths were wide open. Even with their long lifespans and high cultivation levels, they had never seen such an unbelievable thing! The high and mighty Mo Lingzi actually knelt down before a disciple of the Mystic Moon Sect! Xia Ruoxue covered her mouth with her hands. She had thought that since her cultivation level was higher than Ye Chen’s, she would be able to protect him. However, the mysteries surrounding Ye Chen continued to baffle her. At this moment, Yin Ming’s body was trembling. Her gaze turned from surprise to certainty. This man had seen her face and was worthy of her allegiance. The anger of the Nether Beast that had gained a physical body had completely disappeared. All that was left was deep fear. Mo Lingzi knelt down. Ye Chen placed his hands behind his back and glanced at Mo Lingzi. “Bring me over to take a look.” Mo Lingzi nodded. The voice stopped abruptly. He glanced at Yin Che, Bai Zhentang, and Long Yitian. He knew that the Demon Emperor’s return was destined to be a secret that could not be discovered by anyone, even these three people.
