Chapter 993: Chapter 979: Black Demonic Spirit Chapter 993: Chapter 979: Black Demonic Spirit “Damn it, this guy better not refuse. Being too handsome sometimes isn’t such a good thing, as proven now,” he hurriedly added, “Miss Xiu’er admires heroes of the martial world, and I happen to qualify, so she helped me.”

That was actually the truth. Miss Xiu’er indeed admired heroes of the martial world. He also knew this, which was why he let his guard down and asked, “What are you heading to Sacred Spirit Island for?” It seemed inappropriate to ask, but he still did.

“I heard Sacred Spirit Island is a beautiful place with stunning scenery and many beautiful women. I just want to travel and enjoy myself.”

Cang Jianglong knew, however, that something significant had happened on Sacred Spirit Island, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to conceal. Many people wanted to know the whereabouts of the Sacred Spirit Stone, especially the thirty-six Island Masters who were getting restless, as if they all wanted to take a gamble. But the affairs of Sacred Spirit Island shouldn’t have spread to the Central Plains so quickly.

“This guy better not refuse. That’s a letter from Miss Xiu’er,” Ye Chen mumbled to himself, then said, “Miss Xiu’er mentioned that you haven’t seen her in a long time. She misses you terribly. Haven’t you forgotten her?”

This remark piqued Cang Jianglong’s interest; his serious expression softened as he asked, “Really?”

“It’s true. She said she’s very bored and worried that you’ve forgotten about her,” Ye Chen purposely said so.

Recently, however, he indeed had too much on his plate. Since there was an incident on Sacred Spirit Island, many goods were needed, so he hadn’t seen Ling Qianxiu for quite a while, and he couldn’t help feeling a bit ashamed.

Ye Chen continued, “Time reveals true affections. Girls need companionship. Otherwise, even the best relationships can fracture.”

This was a fair point, which caused Cang Jianglong to warm up to him a bit. “Sacred Spirit Island isn’t peaceful. It’s best not to go there these days.”

Ye Chen, not understanding the implication, asked, “What happened?”

“The Sacred Spirit Sect has a new Sect Leader,” was the reply.

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, “Changing Sect Leaders is quite normal, isn’t it?”

“Yes, ordinarily it is normal, but this time, the change in Sect Leader came at the price of bloodshed.”

Curiosity piqued, Ye Chen asked, “A price of bloodshed?”

“They say the Sacred Spirit Sect’s senior disciple, Si Nanyu, wanted to become the Sect Leader. She conspired with her junior sister, Ouyang Yue, and killed Ke Yizhu. However, their scheme was discovered by their second senior brother, Qiandu Xiang, after they had murdered Ke Yizhu. Qiandu Xiang exposed their plot, captured Ouyang Yue, while Si Nanyu escaped. Ouyang Yue is to be executed soon.”

Ye Chen truly hadn’t expected such an incident, and he quickly said, “But I’ve heard Ouyang Yue is the goddaughter of Ke Yizhu. Would she really kill her own godfather?”

“That’s what makes this matter so strange. What exactly happened, we are not sure,” said Cang Jianglong, his guard down, having tucked the letter back into his chest.

Cang Jianglong continued, “Many people say it was for the Sacred Spirit Stone, but whether it’s true or not, I can’t say. Don’t blame me for being cautious. This matter has already spread to the thirty-six Island Masters, and many want to understand if the Sacred Spirit Stone, buried for a hundred years, is truly about to reemerge.”

Ye Chen had learned from Divine Doctor Zhu that the Sacred Spirit Stone suppressed two colossal entities named the Evil Spirit and the Moon Beast. These two were no ordinary pets. He asked, “The Sacred Spirit Stone is about to reemerge?” That is exactly what he wanted. However, he didn’t want to acquire the Sacred Spirit Stone for himself; he just wanted to borrow it.

“The map and the key to locating the Sacred Spirit Stone were always in Ke Yizhu’s hands. Ke Yizhu was cautious and had a sense of the bigger picture; he knew the importance of the Sacred Spirit Stone. Now that he is dead, to whom will the map and key be entrusted? Will others be just as unmoved by the Sacred Spirit Stone as he was?”

“I do know that many demons are suppressed beneath the Sacred Spirit Stone, especially the Evil Spirit and the Moon Beast,” Ye Chen expressed his worries.

The four most formidable demon beasts, known as the ultimate creatures, include the Demon God, the Sea Demon, the Evil Spirit, and the Moon Beast.

Ye Chen had witnessed firsthand the power of the Demon God and the Sea Demon; to eliminate the Demon God, the defense system of the Immortal City Sect was destroyed, and the Red Demonic Spirit nearly didn’t make it. To kill the Sea Demon, Guo Mingyu sacrificed his life. Among the four ultimate creatures, the Sea Demon and the Demon God ranked third and fourth, whereas the first and second spots are occupied by the Evil Spirit and the Moon Beast.

“Don’t blame me for being cautious. The Sacred Spirit Stone possesses the power of Pangu to create heaven and earth, and it suppresses two super monsters. I can’t help but question your intention in going to Sacred Spirit Island.”

Ye Chen hastily said, “I had no idea about any of this until now; you are the one who’s informed me.”

“Right, this news won’t have reached the Central Plains so soon. Since you’re a friend of Xiu’er’s, consider this a warning: the situation around the thirty-six islands is unstable, and something big is likely to happen. If it isn’t necessary, it would be best not to go,” Cang Jianglong advised.

How could Ye Chen not go? Whether it was for himself or for the Red Demonic Spirit, he had to visit Sacred Spirit Island. Nothing was more important than redeeming himself. “Thank you for the warning, but I must make this trip,” he said.

“Alright, if you’re set on going, what else can I say? I won’t ask why. I intend to write back to Ling Qianxiu quickly, expressing my longing,” Cang Jianglong said, before adding, “There’ll be a ship leaving from here to Sacred Spirit Island tomorrow. I’ll arrange for you to be on it.”

“I’d be most grateful.”

Finally, he had persuaded Cang Jianglong and secured a time to board the ship.

Ye Chen called to Li Mo, who had been watching the proceedings from a distance. Li Mo, looking at the pensive Ye Chen, asked, “What’s the matter? Didn’t this guy say he’d help?”

Ye Chen was meditating on whether, as Cang Jianglong said, if the Sacred Spirit Stone reappeared, it would be a good thing for him. But if the creatures suppressed beneath the Sacred Spirit Stone broke free, especially the Moon Beast and the Evil Spirit, then things would certainly turn disastrous.

“No,” Ye Chen handed the note to Li Mo and said, “Come here tomorrow to look for a vessel. We’re setting out to sea.”

“Why are you suddenly so tense?”

What else could he be tense about? They’d talk more after they reached Sacred Spirit Island.

Would an adopted daughter really kill her own godfather to help her beloved win the position of Sect Leader? He found it a bit far-fetched.

“What do we need to prepare?” Li Mo asked.

“Bring a few more maids, they’ll help me with bone-setting when the time comes.”

“I wouldn’t dare that. If someone finds out about it later, they’ll surely kill me,” Li Mo said coldly.

Whether it was for himself or not, he really was going to Sacred Spirit Island.

The night was pitch black, as a bolt of energy emerged, locking a mass of black mist within a multicolored energy barrier. The Black Demonic Spirit wailed—this was Ye Chen assisting it in removing the malevolence left in its body by Gao Ba, and the spell had been underway for some time now.

The Black Demonic Spirit no longer possessed its ambiguous gender of the past. Its temper was still fiery, but it had improved a lot.

The Black Demonic Spirit cursed, “You little bastard, how long do you plan to torture me?” It felt itself growing weaker. Before, it was like a shark, instilling fear in everyone the moment it appeared. Now, it had become more like a wolf—still craving meat, but without the former might.

The Red Demonic Spirit called out from behind Ye Chen, “Big brother, he’s helping you remove your malevolence. If you don’t clean it up completely, you’ll eventually become genderless.”

The Black Demonic Spirit didn’t believe it and shouted, “Should I be thanking him, then?”

“You should thank him.”

“Turning me into someone as weak as a little girl, and I should thank him?” The Black Demonic Spirit complained.

“If we don’t remove the malevolence from your body, we won’t dare to let you obtain a physical form in the future, even if the chance arises.”

At this, the Black Demonic Spirit asked, “What physical form?”

“Our physical forms.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Who does he think he is, so kind-hearted to help us obtain physical forms? Does he even possess that ability?” The Black Demonic Spirit was skeptical. At Earth Demon Island, it had been through life and death for the Red and Black Demon King and had never seen such kindness. It was not ready to readily trust anyone.

“It’s true. We’re going to Sacred Spirit Island this time to find the Sacred Spirit Stone. We plan to use the power of the Sacred Spirit Stone to get our bodies back.” The Black Demonic Spirit moved restlessly around the room like a hanged ghost.

The Black Demonic Spirit calmed down a bit. It was still inside the energy barrier conjured by Ye Chen and muttered, “Is this really true? I don’t believe it. He can’t be that kind-hearted. Don’t be foolish. You’re like those naive girls who believe anything they are told.” The Black Demonic Spirit knew human nature too well. Those who had control over it had never had its best interests at heart. It was all about how they could use it—it had been deceived too many times and no longer trusted anyone.

The Red Demonic Spirit smiled and said, “This time, you should trust him because he’s also searching for the Sacred Spirit Stone to save his life.”

“He’s looking for the Sacred Spirit Stone? I bet he wants to control the human world,” the Black Demonic Spirit muttered.

“He’s entwined by the Magic Power of the Wolf King’s Ring. Without the power of Pangu from the Sacred Spirit Stone, the Wolf King’s Ring can’t be destroyed, and he will eventually be controlled by the Wolf King’s magic.” The Red Demonic Spirit explained.

“So he’s become the master of the ring?”

The Red Demonic Spirit nodded.

“Then it’s still for his own sake,” the Black Demonic Spirit said.

“It also happens to be for us. Do you think it’s a fair deal? Should the three of us consider cooperating?” the Red Demonic Spirit said.

The Black Demonic Spirit suddenly grew much calmer, sensing that there was something to consider, but still said, “Just don’t let it turn out to be a deception again. They’re not trustworthy. Whatever cooperation there may be, in the end, they’ll use us to obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone, and then leave us behind, continuing to exploit us for martial arts training.”

“Hey, why are you so stubborn? I know Gao Ba gave you a hard time, but Ye Chen, you can trust him.”

“Why should I trust him? They all have the same look on their faces, like those filthy men who trick girls. Sweet talk at first, but those promises are nothing but hot air—only gullible little girls would believe them.”

“He has never used me to practice martial arts. Look how normal I am, with no malevolence haunting me, that’s reason enough to trust him.”

The Black Demonic Spirit was left speechless. Indeed, it had suffered from malevolence and torture while following Gao Ba, but the Red Demonic Spirit had always been quite normal.
