Journey to the End of the Night
Chapter 1603 - 973: Evil Artifact (2)
Although for Ting Yan, she had already lost her chastity.
As for the path of Dual Cultivation, unsurprisingly she would follow it all her life.
But this does not mean that she can casually serve any man and engage in relationships.
Without giving her any time to feign compliance, Ting Yan instinctively bent a leg and fiercely kicked towards the man’s abdomen.
Lin Kun felt the chilling killing intent emanating from Ting Yan.
His eyes darkened, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He did not dodge at all, took the hit directly, yet his body was as immovable as a mountain of steel.
Ting Yan’s pupils shrank rapidly, her body arched backward off the bed in an inhuman posture.
Her body seemed to hold the power of a leopard, one foot landed on Lin Kun’s shoulder.
She pressed down hard, attempting to break free from his confines.
"Interesting, it seems you are not just an ordinary courtesan, looks like tonight’s interrogation will be inevitable."
Before Ting Yan could break free from Lin Kun’s grip, a bone-crushing pain came from her ankle the moment his words settled.
She screamed, and her body, which had leaped into the air, seemed to have its muscles pulled out like tendons, and fell limply back down.
Ting Yan sweated from the pain, as she bowed her head, she saw a horrifying sight!
Her right foot was almost crushed in his hand, twisted along with the movement of his wrist.
Her foot twisted and turned, muscles tightened, and fractured bones poked out from the flesh menacingly!
Ting Yan gasped, the intense pain made her sweat like a waterfall down her back.
Due to instinctive shock, the suppressed demonic power within her body also poured out, attempting to repair the broken ankle.
Two fox tails shot out uncontrollably from behind her, tightly wrapping and strangling around the man’s arm.
The force was so strong that the muscles on the man’s arm twisted and bulged, veins bulged like dragons.
The man pressing down on her had eyes like a beast, cruel and remote, moving closer and firmly meeting Ting Yan’s gaze.
He sneered, revealing a row of white teeth: "Oh? Turns out to be a fox demon?"
Ting Yan thought to herself, things were not going well!
The man’s face full of viciousness revealed a chilling coldness under the light.
Spiritual Power surged fiercely around him, Ting Yan groaned in pain, and felt as if her twin tails were pierced by thousands of silver needles, the pain was unbearable.
Lin Kun effortlessly broke free from her fox tail’s restraints.
After pulling his arm out, he forcefully grasped her neck, making Ting Yan’s eyes bulge with bloodshot terror.
"It seems ’One Drop of Blood’ has already detected the disappearance of spy members in Shifang City?
Indeed bold enough, a small fox demon dared to infiltrate Boundless Wind and Moon Tower to play the ’lure the snake out of the hole’ scheme.
It’s only unfortunate that today you are doomed to have no way to return."
"Oh? What a pity, I quite liked tonight’s charming courtesan, but it turns out she was sent by the Demon Alliance."
"She completely angered Lin Kun, won’t live through tonight, only to become another sacrifice, like the previous demons to offer up."
Indeed, these three Immortal envoys are behind the scenes causing trouble!
The Demon Alliance has always acted low-key, never perpetrating evil acts, and even secretly helps the Hundred Immortal Sects against the Demon Sect.
Therefore, even though it is a force mainly formed by demons.
As long as it does not involve those Immortal Sect forces, those self-proclaimed righteous sects often turn a blind eye.
Despite the Demon Alliance’s unofficial formation going against Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan’s established cosmic order.
They have to admit the founding of the Demon Alliance is beneficial to them.
So they will not bother reporting to Heaven or whistle-blowing.
But the Demon Alliance is barely several years old, and it has already caught the attention of the Immortal envoys, which is evidently abnormal.
Yet Ting Yan faintly sensed that things are not yet beyond repair.
These three specifically are secretly capturing members of the Demon Alliance, hiding the truth from Heaven.
Although within the Six Realms, the Demon Clan lacks freedom, it doesn’t mean they’ve entirely lost their rights.
Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan would never stand by idly while people from the Cultivation World slaughter or capture the Demon Clan without cause, conducting sinister deeds.
That eerie and malevolent small cauldron clearly defies the Immortal Path.
Ting Yan lay on the bed, her neck tightly choked, her hands weakly scratching at Lin Kun’s arm.
She could feel her body gradually losing warmth, her blood reversing its flow, surging up to her head.
Her chest could only rise and fall in vain, her throat filled with a sticky, bloody taste, causing her consciousness to blur.
The suffocating sensation pressured her heart, the coldness beginning to rob her of vitality.
In her mind, Ting Yan started having wild thoughts and gradually stopped scratching his arm.
One hand stealthily reached into the Qiankun Bag, just as her fingers were about to touch the vine branch Tang Di had given her.
The large hand gripping her neck suddenly released, cold air flooding back into her chest as her limbs and bones began to regain feeling and vitality.
"Ha———— cough cough cough!!!" Ting Yan coughed violently, tears and snot streaming down, her cheeks flushed.
Her lips, nose, mouth, and tongue all numb, she had no idea how long she had coughed before her dazed vision gradually cleared.
She looked at the culprit, Lin Kun, half-sitting on the bed, his elbow resting on his cheek, a mocking smile like a cat playing with a mouse on his face:
"Although the few Banshees we’ve caught, all stubbornly refuse to submit, choosing death over bending. In the end, they are sacrificed to the cauldron, truly a waste.
Seeing that you are also from the Demon Alliance, this inexplicable pride might be the same as theirs.
But I still want to ask you, are you willing to comply and become our demon slave? If you agree, you can survive a lifetime."
Hearing this, Ting Yan was greatly alarmed, her heavy breathing subsided, and the mist of tears in her eyes diminished somewhat.
She looked up at Lin Kun, faintly incredulous: "Are you saying that the members of the Demon Alliance you’ve captured... have all died?"
Lin Kun said: "To be accurate, before we intended to forcibly Dual Cultivate with them, they refused to cooperate and committed suicide, truly hateful.
We had no choice but to sacrifice their flesh and soul to the evil cauldron to make up for the deficiency.
It’s just that dead demons are far less valuable than when alive and sacrificed. If you’re willing to cooperate obediently, you naturally won’t die with an incomplete corpse."
Guan Yue came over, looking down at Ting Yan, indifferently said: "So, choose?"
Ting Yan said without hesitation: "I want to live."
This answer caught the three in the room by surprise, immediately causing them to let out a low, pleasant laugh.
Lin Kun, with a half-smile, looked at her and said: "I like sensible women, as for those idiots who insist on sticking to principles and responsibilities, the evil cauldron is their ultimate destination."
Ting Yan’s lowered gaze slowly shifted, and when she lifted her head, her face was full of a beaming smile.
She endured the severe pain in her ankle, slowly moving her body to lean on Lin Kun, her fingers gently twirling on his chest.
Her voice soft: "Survival of the fittest, those who adapt are the true heroes. I don’t want to die, naturally, I should comply with the strong for survival.
It’s just that, you three are from the orthodox Immortal Clan, what kind of fairy woman could you not have?
Why always choose the women of the Demon Clan, and that evil artifact cauldron, no matter how you look, it isn’t Immortal family ways."
Zhou Qingrang looked at Ting Yan, laughing quietly: "You truly are a cunning and clever little fox demon, even at this point, you haven’t forgotten to gather information."
Guan Yue’s face remained indifferent and uninterested: "The more you know, the sooner you die."
Lin Kun thoroughly enjoyed Ting Yan’s obedience, serving him, and knowing she was a member of the Demon Alliance, didn’t make him as eager to Dual Cultivate with her as initially.
Instead, with great patience, he said: "All things in the world have an end, none can avoid it, even immortals are not eternal.
We have served under Golden Immortal Feng Xu for two thousand years, no longer young.
With limited aptitude, nearing the end of our life span, unable to break through and extend life for the time being.
Only through Dual Cultivation with female cultivators can we extend life and avoid death.
Sadly, we are not such distinguished figures like Lord Feng Xu, with countless female cultivators entering his bed every year, a loss of one or two makes no difference.
We, however, are just small Immortal emissaries, definitely cannot lay hands on our Immortal clan companions."
So they turned their attention to the Demons.
And that Golden Immortal Feng Xu, all these years, has actually depended on sacrificing female cultivators from the Immortal World to extend his life?
