This Journey to the West is so terrifying
Chapter 539 - 450
The entire book gave him an inexplicable feeling, as if he were staring directly into an abyss.
Lin Fang caressed the cover of the book, feeling a chilling aura.
"What is the origin of this book that makes it so powerful?"
Mr. Mo was astounded, having personally experienced the strangeness of the aura just now. Without the protection of this book, he and Lin Fang might not have been able to leave alive.
Lin Fang smiled and shook his head but spoke mysteriously, "I cannot say, I cannot say."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Mo did not delve deeper, knowing that there were still many secrets in the Three Realms, some of which should not be known to all.
"The Heavenly Master’s Residence in the Heavenly Court holds an extraordinary position. Even ordinary immortals treat them with respect. I have always wondered why but only realized their prowess after experiencing it firsthand," Mr. Mo remarked with a sigh.
"The Heavenly Master’s Residence, is it an institution in the Heavenly Court specifically for dealing with such things?"
"Yes, but I used to equate them with common demon exorcists, never understanding why the Heavenly Master’s Residence held such a high position. Now, at last, my confusion is resolved."
"I wonder what methods they use," Lin Fang muttered to himself.
He was also aware of the capabilities of the Heavenly Court. The mysterious aura was not easy to handle, and he wondered how the Heavenly Court managed it, regretting that he had no chance to see it firsthand.
Fortunately, due to some fortunate mistakes, he had managed to restore this place, and most importantly, he found the correct usage of the book.
Moreover, the book that had absorbed these auras seemed to have undergone new changes, and Lin Fang would need to continue his research in the coming time, which might enhance his own power.
As the two were conversing, a monster that had come to gather information had already arrived here and spotted Lin Fang from afar in a green robe.
"It’s Mr. Lin!" a monster exclaimed excitedly.
For Lin Fang, all monsters that knew of his existence were grateful, recognizing that the changes in the Demon Clan today were not solely due to the Demon Emperor, but also to the amiable-looking gentleman before them.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fang looked up and saw the monsters running toward him with joyful faces, and he smiled at Mr. Mo, saying, "Our escorts have arrived."
Mr. Mo also nodded, filled with emotion. Having been away from his homeland for so long, he was finally returning home.
"Mr. Lin, you have finally returned!" The Great Saint who moves mountains said emotionally, holding Lin Fang’s hand.
Lin Fang was not yet aware that, unbeknownst to him, he had become the pillar in the hearts of the upper echelons of the Demon Clan, while the unknowing monsters outside attributed all the glory of the Demon Clan to the Demon Emperor and the Demon Master.
But only they knew that all the changes started with Lin Fang; he was the future of the Demon Clan.
It was for this reason that when Lin Fang was initially sent to the Heavenly Court, many had disagreed. If it weren’t for Lin Fang’s own desire, even Feng Jiu would have struggled to proceed alone. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
However, despite all this, everyone was still very worried about Lin Fang’s safety.
Fortunately, now that everything had settled, Lin Fang had safely returned.
After exchanging pleasantries with Lin Fang, The Great Saint who moves mountains finally noticed Mr. Mo by Lin Fang’s side, and he asked incredulously, "Mr. Mo Yu, is that you?"
He could hardly believe it, considering this elder brother had vanished without a trace in ancient times, and the Demon Clan unanimously believed he had been harmed by the Heavenly Court, which explained his disappearance.
After all, when Feng Jiu became the Demon Emperor, this brother had contributed significantly, whether in designing the Demon Court or the later Great Formation of the Entire Sky, including establishing some of the systems of the Demon Clan.
Of course, he also held another identity, the elder brother of His Majesty the Demon Emperor.
Mr. Mo looked at The Great Saint who moves mountains, and after a long moment, he remarked sentimentally, "You are that little lion from back then, aren’t you?"
Being called a little lion, The Great Saint who moves mountains showed not the slightest displeasure; instead, he replied excitedly, "It is I, it is I. Big brother, you still remember me! You forged my weapon back in those days."
Talking about the past, The Great Saint who moves mountains was very excited. When he had first started his career, he was hardly a notable figure within the Demon Clan, but it was this relatively obscure individual who had received selfless assistance from Mr. Mo, helping him overcome his weakest period.
Unfortunately, as his strength gradually improved and his reputation in the Demon Clan rose, this selfless elder brother who had helped him had disappeared. At the time, the Demon Clan tried various means but still could not find any trace of him.
Later, when the identity of the Divine Exorcist Great Sage was revealed, everyone finally understood and speculated that he must have fallen victim to the Divine Exorcist Great Sage.
However today, Lin Fang had brought this man, whom everyone thought was dead, before them.
"Where have you been all these years? We have always been looking for you, using every means possible," said The Great Saint who moves mountains with a sigh.
Reflecting on the Demon Court’s frantic search for Mr. Mo back then, The Great Saint who moves mountains was filled with emotion—it marked the beginning of the decline of the Demon Court from its heyday.
Without Mr. Mo’s support, everyone was shocked to discover just how superficial the foundations of the Demon Court really were. The subsequent wars repeatedly ended in disaster, eventually leading to its current decline.
"It’s a long story. For many years, I was manipulated by others, living in a haze," Mr. Mo said with a sigh.
However, Lin Fang interrupted their reminiscing, speaking softly, "What now, are you going to reminisce here? Let us go inside quickly."
At those words, The Great Saint who moves mountains suddenly remembered, and quickly invited them to enter the Demon Clan camp.
Compared to the scattered setup of the Heavenly Court’s camp, the Demon Clan’s was much better organized. However, as time went by, they still withdrew part of their forces, considering that Luzhou in the North was in need of reconstruction and required a great deal of labor. The young and strong at the frontline weren’t suited to stay there for extended periods.
The changes in the Heavenly Court had made the Demon Masters acutely aware of the sweeping tides of the era. It had become apparent that the Heavenly Court no longer had the capacity to influence Luzhou in the North.
So, they made a decisive move and began to send a large number of soldiers back home to start reconstruction in the rear.
Behind the scenes, a massive movement of production had quietly started within the Demon Clan.
Even though many had been withdrawn, the soldiers that remained were all battle-hardened veterans who, even to this moment, still rigorously adhered to the daily training regimens that Lin Fang had once set in place.
Seeing this, Lin Fang felt greatly reassured. His labor had not been in vain; as long as the Demon Clan could maintain this momentum, the future was promising.
Mr. Mo too looked upon the current Demon Clan army with great joy. He sensed a vibrant vitality in these men, a quality that the Demon Clan of the past didn’t possess.
Sometimes, he even felt that the current Demon Clan was somewhat unfamiliar.
