Chapter 1299: Chapter 1276: Demon Chronicles

"Demon Chronicles? What is this thing?"

Ye Guichen looked at the three characters on the cover and felt puzzled, but still flipped through it.

First page, Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, Nuwa...

Seeing the first page, Ye Guichen almost stumbled.

Oh my, Nuwa?

What’s this got to do with Demon Chronicles?

Ye Guichen quickly flipped through, and then swiftly glanced over the content at the back.

Soon, Ye Guichen basically got a rough idea of the Demon Chronicles.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but calm down.

According to what was said in the Demon Chronicles, this world not only has demon beasts that can transform into human-like demon foxes, but also countless great demons.

In the past, Nuwa, who was a woman with a snake body and human head, repaired the heavens and created humans with the Heaven-Mending Stone after the witch-demon war when the world split open.

Besides that, there are countless demon clans in the world, but they became too powerful, and especially some small demons feeding on humans without constraint enraged the great immortals, who then sealed the demons, forbidding contact with normal humans.

However, the demon clan didn’t give up. Before they were sealed, they left behind many demon clan bloodlines, dispersing among humans to revive the demon clan.

Furthermore, it could be seen from the Demon Chronicles that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox could only rank three hundred and seventy-second in the Chronicles, with the most famous one in history being Su Daji.

If not able to cultivate to the nine tails, they wouldn’t even make it into the top hundred of the Chronicles.

"Demon clan bloodlines? Could these be real?"

Ye Guichen didn’t understand why there would be such a book in Yan Fang’s storage ring, so he quickly searched through his storage ring.

Besides finding some weapons and cultivation techniques, there was also an introduction to a sect called Spirit Beast Sect.

This Spirit Beast Sect specialized in taming the demon clan and was counted as a second-tier sect among hidden sects.

Their sect leader had reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment Realm, just one step away from the next realm.

The book stated that Yan Fang originally belonged to Spirit Beast Sect. However, being too greedy, he often went out to swindle, using the sect’s name to earn Spirit Stones and benefits, and was expelled.

Later, Yan Fang wandered near Three Harmonies Valley, being a Foundation Establishment expert.

Due to his powerful cultivation, Yan Fang lived carefree and amassed quite a few good things.

Other than that, the booklet held no other records.

Yet Ye Guichen could easily speculate that this was when Yan Fang met King Qi, who made him a valued guest, promised great benefits, and tasked him with killing Ye Guichen.

"Spirit Beast Sect?" Ye Guichen grew interested.

This sect seemed to inherit from the demon clan, possessing some methods to control demon beasts.

However, those methods weren’t disclosed. Even the Demon Chronicles only contained brief mentions, no detailed accounts.

"Could that Three-tailed Demon Fox also be from the demon clan?"

Thinking about this, Ye Guichen quickly stood up and sought out Xuanyuan Canghai.

Given his seniority, Xuanyuan Canghai had been in the hidden sects for a long time, especially after the Netherworld Emperor’s death, when he went into hiding among the people and must have heard much gossip.

"Senior Xuanyuan, do you know about the demon clan?" Ye Guichen made no secrets and directly asked upon seeing Xuanyuan Canghai.

Xuanyuan Canghai was evidently surprised at Ye Guichen’s direct question, and after a brief hesitation, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes: "Young Master, why do you ask this?"

Ye Guichen then recounted the incident with the Three-tailed Demon Fox. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Xuanyuan Canghai was initially skeptical.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! As far as I know, the demon clan is sealed in the Chaos Sea, hidden behind the door, and cannot possibly emerge. Moreover, you said the Three-tailed Demon Fox could transform into human form, it surely couldn’t cross the Chaos River, how could it show up here?"

"Chaos River? What’s that?" Ye Guichen realized his understanding of the hidden sects was quite limited.

Xuanyuan Canghai explained, "Legend has it the Chaos River’s water comes from the Chaos Sea, where not even feathers can float. To cross the Chaos River, one must have a Netherworld Ship. But no one has seen such a ship, nor does anyone know whence it comes."

"Netherworld Ship?" Ye Guichen grew even more curious and pulled out the Demon Chronicles, placing it in front of Xuanyuan Canghai: "But according to this beast hide scroll, some demon clan bloodlines might have wandered here."

Xuanyuan Canghai cast a glance at Ye Guichen, then lowered his head in doubt, casually flicking through the Demon Chronicles.

Soon, his expression became grim.

"Young Master, where did you get this book?"

Seeing Xuanyuan Canghai’s tense demeanor, Ye Guichen replied, "It was on Yan Fang’s body. After killing him, I took his storage ring while others weren’t watching. What, is this book real?"

"Pretty much." Xuanyuan Canghai nodded heavily: "It seems the rumors are probably true. It’s said after the demon clan was sealed, they didn’t give up, leaving behind many demon clan bloodlines. These bloodlines aren’t real demon clan but offspring born from a combination with humans. Without someone awakening their bloodline, they may never know they’re from the demon clan. But once awakened, they’ll possess some demon clan power."

"Is this really true?" Ye Guichen couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
