Chapter 809: Chapter 829: We Owe Him a Big Favor_1

Upon receiving the order from the Fox Demoness, a group of Great Demons immediately became invigorated and their attacks became increasingly sharp.

The Fox Demoness, however, did not participate in the battle; instead, she transformed into a streak of light and pursued in the direction where everyone had disappeared.

Surrounded by Demonic Beasts on all sides, the Human Cultivators gathered into groups, joining forces to fight their way out. For a moment, cries of battle erupted everywhere, and countless people fell from the sky, creating an extremely tragic scene.

Zhu Yao and the others banded together, using various Magical Treasures to open up a path. A sky-full of Wildfire burned the Demonic Beasts, who couldn’t withstand it, and the encirclement was torn apart, creating an opening.

One by one, the Cultivators rushed out through the gap and escaped on their flying boats.

Even the big shots of the Human Clan who participated in the attack couldn’t withstand it, so they withdrew one after another.

The demon race members chased for a while, but eventually gave up. First, it was difficult to catch up, and secondly, they were still concerned about the treasures in the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, so they returned one after another, swarming into the tomb to search for valuables.

Zhu Yao and the others flew far away, completely getting rid of the pursuing Demonic Beasts before stopping.

After a simple headcount, they found no one was missing.

Since most of them were at the Spirit Transformation Realm, each person possessed a lot of powerful Magical Treasures. It wasn’t easy for them to be defeated by Hollow Void Realm cultivators while fighting together.

"The emergence of the Demon Emperor’s Successor has caused an uproar; this is going to turn the world upside down!"

"That palm was terrifying. We were almost done for."

"If it wasn’t for Lin Chen’s shout, we would have really died. It’s just strange that the Demon Emperor’s Successor captured Lin Chen and listened to his plea to stop attacking us."

Long Yan’er frowned and said, "Did you notice that the Demon Emperor’s Successor didn’t have any obvious features of the demon race? Although his body is covered in eerie patterns, I think he’s actually a human..."

People were suddenly surprised.

"The Heart of the Demon Emperor chose a human as its successor?"

"That’s impossible."

Taiyi Sect’s Xiao Rulong recalled, "Although it was a fleeting glimpse, he seemed to be more like a human. It’s not entirely impossible; human body structures are most suitable for cultivation. That’s why many demons had to transform into humans before they could continue their cultivation. The Demon Emperor was once the pinnacle of the demon race, and he had become human long ago. From a cultivation perspective, there’s nothing wrong with appointing a human being."

"But the identity is quite awkward."

Zhu Yao scratched his head, "Commanding the demon race with a human body feels weird."

Morisect’s Ji You said solemnly, "The main driving force on this successor should still be the Heart of the Demon Emperor rather than the thoughts of the Human Clan. Simply put, if the Heart of the Demon Emperor and the Successor become one, he may no longer be part of the Human Clan, but in some sense, the reborn Demon Emperor, a true member of the demon race."

Long Yan’er agreed, "It should be like this. A person as important as the Demon Emperor would not bestow such a benefit on a human without knowing the full details. The only explanation is that he has a way to transform this person into a complete member of the demon race."

Zhu Yao smiled bitterly, "Let’s stop discussing the Demon Emperor’s Successor for now. Shouldn’t we discuss Lin Chen, who was captured..."

For a moment, everyone looked at each other with a somewhat helpless expression on their faces.

Spirit Ruins Qian An smiled bitterly, "Our strength is far inferior to that of the Demon Emperor’s Successor. Joining forces, we could barely withstand a single blow from him. Even if we want to help, we are powerless to do so."

Nine Nether Gate’s Yin Yunsheng nodded, "Earlier, when Lin Chen was attacked, we all tried our best, but it was useless. We almost lost our own lives. However, I think the Demon Emperor’s Successor captured Lin Chen for a purpose and shouldn’t kill him. Besides, Nanyue Dashi Xiong Li Ping’an has gone after him. With his astonishing strength, he should be able to rescue him."

Monarch Mountain Mo Wen sighed, "We can only hope so. Anyway, we owe him a huge favor."

Taiyi Sect’s Xiao Rulong said, "Come on, we should report this matter to the Great Sects as soon as possible."

...

Lin Chen was carried by the Evil Qi Man, who sped like the wind and lightning.

Lin Chen’s body was bound by an invisible force, but he wasn’t afraid, and he continued to look up at the face that was both unfamiliar and familiar at the same time.

After running a certain distance, the Evil Qi Man landed on a hilltop, put Lin Chen down, and stared straight into Lin Chen’s face. His eyes were filled with black mist, and his gaze flickered with changes, sometimes deep and wicked, and other times kind and excited.

With his fists clenched, his body quivered slightly, as if he were going through an internal struggle.

Without any words, Lin Chen suddenly understood.

The man in front of him was his father, Lin Yuan, but not entirely. He was now more of a Demon Emperor’s Successor, and perhaps he was being forcibly changed into another person by the Heart of the Demon Emperor.

The black mist in Lin Yuan’s eyes thickened, so much so that his entire pupils were almost turning completely black.

"No!"

Lin Yuan suddenly let out a low, suppressed roar. He clenched his fist and slammed it hard into his own chest, immediately coughing up blood. He raised his right hand, and a dagger appeared. He quickly aimed it at his own heart and stabbed it in without hesitation.
