Chapter 2217: Chapter 2217: Exorcising Demons and Suppressing Evil

"It’s not used for resurrection, so could it possibly be used to suppress the demonic energy within the phoenix vein?" he asked.

Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang both were taken aback, exchanging a glance.

"Perhaps, it really is for suppressing the demonic energy," said Sui Zimo.

"The ice crystal jade has the power to exorcise demons and suppress evil, and if the magic practiced by your ancestor was of the light system, combining the two could indeed suppress the incessant demonic energy seeping up from beneath the phoenix vein.

Of course, this would require the addition of an array spell seal, likely one from ancient times."

Being an alchemist, he did have some knowledge of this.

"And your Emperor Father, believing that the demonic energy above the phoenix vein was of use to him, removed the corpse of his ancestor, allowing the demonic energy within the phoenix vein to break through the seal.

That’s why he nurtured the offspring of the demon."

"This..."

Prince Niu felt a tingling on his scalp, and his whole being was unsettled by what Sui Zimo described.

He believed this was something his Emperor Father was capable of doing, daring to meddle with even the demonic energy for his ambition.

"What exactly does he want to do? Is it just to unify the Illusion Continent?"

But that’s purely wishful thinking; the Illusion Continent is so vast, how could their small Ziyan Kingdom ever unify it?

Do the other countries, including Sky City and the Beast Clan just sit back and eat their fill without doing anything?

"For some reason, I always feel that this is not something my Emperor Father could do alone. Young Master Sui, Madam Sui, could it be possible that behind my Emperor Father, there is someone else?"

He speculated.

This wasn’t impossible, was it?

Hearing this, Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo exchanged glances once more.

"Maybe this person is the same one behind Yin Lvqing?" Lin Caisang asked.

"The same person?"

Prince Niu felt incredulous.

He had always known that there were people behind Yin Lvqing, just not who they were.

But now, to say that there’s also someone behind Emperor Ziyan and that the person directing Yin Lvqing to do evil deeds is the same?

He found that hard to believe – the same master behind two people?

"Impossible? If it’s the same person, why choose two to exploit?"

Besides, one of them is Emperor Ziyan, the supreme ruler of Ziyan Kingdom, who in Ziyan Kingdom could possibly compare?

If one has Emperor Ziyan, why bother picking another person?

"Young Master Sui, Madam Sui, you’re suggesting that the person in the shadows used Emperor Ziyan to destroy the seal beneath the phoenix vein and then raise the offspring of the demon.

It must have been many years now, after all, even I was just a child when the former queen passed away, and back then, Yin Lvqing was too young to be used.

If he already had my Emperor Father as a pawn, why seek out Yin Lvqing?

This seems contradictory."

"What if Emperor Ziyan is no longer under his control?" Sui Zimo countered.

"That..."

Prince Niu was startled, finding the suggestion not unreasonable.

After all, even the ambitions of a demon can grow too strong and eventually turn on its master, let alone a human?

The human heart is always unpredictable.

"That is possible, but... that person must really be courageous."

He looked up at the two of them and sighed quietly to himself.
