Inner Demons

The demons in the cave could not hear what the two were saying in the first place. But seeing Yazi grow increasingly angry, they already knew that things were not looking good.

But for demons, compassion was a rare commodity—so after seeing the scene before them and a moment of shock, they suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers!

—Dragon Clan fighting each other!

How many people could witness such a strange spectacle?!

Even the Evil King was slightly stunned—he had only thought the two "might turn on each other." How could he have known that they would genuinely turn on each other, and that Dragon Elder would actually kill Long Jiu without hesitation?!

Right after this moment of shock, he burst into wild laughter, feeling—Hah! Did that brat actually try to show off his wits in front of me?!

Now let him know... that I am not to be trifled with!

This is what they call lifting a rock to drop it on one's own foot!

He laughed wildly for a while, shaking his two large teeth and the two large horns on his head. He just waited to see Dragon Elder leave shamefacedly—after all, it was their internal brotherly strife, and now with no living witnesses, what business was it of his Trapped Sky Mountain?

However, in the next moment, the laughter and cheers in the cave slowly became sparse.

Because that Yazi... seemed a bit off.

—He killed Long Jiu with one blow. Then... he looked this way.

The eyes of Yazi, who had revealed his God-Demon Body, seemed to be burning with fierce flames. He stared blankly at the entrance of Trapped Sky Mountain for two or three breaths, then suddenly let out a heaven-shaking roar—

"Get—out—here!!"

As soon as his voice fell, Yazi rushed towards them!

It was a terrifying aura, like a mountain in hell, belonging to a super-great demon of the Broad Life Profound Realm. When he moved, it was as if the whole world moved with him. The air around him instantly turned a terrifying crimson, as if the flames in his eyes had set the void on fire. His figure left a trail of fire in his wake, his face appeared distorted and terrifying in the red-hot mist, and his fingertips seemed to be forged from freshly cast steel—before the Evil King could react, this Yazi had violently slammed into the Trapped Sky Mountain's Restriction!

The vibration and roar this time were incomparable to the previous three times.

The seven-colored brilliant light at the point of contact instantly dimmed, almost disappearing completely. Yazi's sharp claws, enveloped in fierce flames, plunged into the Restriction—the Evil King could almost see a point of his glowing red fingertip breaking through the Restriction. Then, this Yazi, like a wild beast, tightly clamped onto the invisible Restriction barrier with both hands, and then... roared up to the sky, desperately tearing at it!

Flames shot up from his body, soaring into the sky. That column of fire was like a sharp sword piercing the stars and the heavens, absolutely refusing to stop until the Trapped Sky Mountain's Restriction was torn open!

The rage of the super-great demon left all the demon kings in the cave dumbfounded. After a moment of shock, these demons were all scared out of their wits, scattering like headless flies—it was the first time they had witnessed the fury of the Dragon Clan, and this enraged Dragon Clan member was the strongest below the Supreme Realm, the Broad Life Profound Realm!

They no longer cared why Yazi was so furious; they only wanted to immediately find a crack in the ground or a nest to bury their heads in, absolutely terrified of being implicated!

Only the Evil King was dumbfounded—Yazi was outside the Restriction, only three steps away from him. He saw the other party's face and actions clearly and distinctly, but he simply didn't know... where Dragon Elder's anger came from!?

Or rather, why was such fierce anger being poured entirely onto him?

That single sentence, "Get—out—here," wasn't that directed at him?!

Simply... too much bullying!

He suddenly furrowed his eyebrows, seeing the Trapped Sky Mountain Restriction being ripped by Yazi, almost tearing a fissure in the void.

However, Yazi's divine power also seemed limited. He only tore open a fissure this large and could not expand it further. As soon as he was slightly inattentive, the fissure would close. Yazi would fly back, stare intently into the cave with his burning eyes, and then rush forward again, starting to tear again!

After doing this three or four times, the Evil King was also terrified. He initially thought that Yazi would realize he couldn't break the Restriction and leave on his own... yet the other party was becoming more and more desperate with each attempt, as if determined to perish with him!

He finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Yazi! Don't be so reckless! Both of us are in the Profound Realm, and I have managed this Trapped Sky Mountain for thousands of years—do you truly think you can defeat me here?!"

He was being rational. But unfortunately, that Young Master Nine was not rational—a demon who had lived for a thousand years, and a member of the royal family among all demons. He had condescended to save a small man he previously regarded as food, and had set aside his pride to truly try to be friends with that person for the first time. In the end, he was schemed against to the point of death by that humble and insignificant creature, and his own true body was even stolen by the other party using some unknown method!

That incident was already a colossal humiliation that made him furious whenever he recalled it.

And now... that little creature not only showed no sign of remorse but also repeatedly claimed that he had indeed been lying to him from the start... and he fell for his trick again!

The one he killed just now was the true body formed from his Spiritual Soul; the main body was still safe and sound in Trapped Sky Mountain!!

This was no longer something that could be described as "colossal humiliation"!

Thus, this inherently impulsive and brutal Young Master Nine had now completely lost all reason due to Li Yunxin's previous careful arrangements and calculated words—the Evil King's words sounded only like the wind howling in his ears; he couldn't grasp any meaning from them!

He was only thinking of one thing—

Kill him!

Kill him!!

Kill him!!!

It was pitiful that the Evil King, who had previously thought he had tricked Li Yunxin, had now jumped into his own trap without realizing it. Seeing that Yazi completely ignored his words, he felt... that he was determined to fight him to the death!

He was also a demon king who had lived for two thousand years and a powerful lord of a region. Even if he still had some doubts and felt a bit confused, how could he possibly humble himself at this juncture and try to rationally explain things to this maddened Dragon's Son?!

He was being torn apart right at his own doorstep!

If he tried to reason now, wouldn't those demon kings ridicule him later for becoming a gutless mouse at the sight of this Dragon's Son Yazi?!

Therefore, the Evil King also let out a roar—

"Minions, form the array—tear this worm to shreds!!"

The entire Trapped Sky Mountain began to shake.

...

...

Six hours ago.

Six hours ago—Li Yunxin had just appeared on the Gobi Desert of Stone Forest Mountain.

In the eyes of the Snake Spirit Seven-Section Brocade, he was still just a white figure in the distorted, hot air.

And at that time, Li Shan was still in the main hall of the Ziwei Palace on Dongting Jun Mountain, paying attention to the every move of another Li Yunxin.

He was very puzzled as to why this fellow was still... playing games, in such an imminent crisis. At first, when he heard Li Yunxin, Old Daoist Liu, Bai Yunxin, and the little maid sitting around talking about things like "Lord," "Loyal Subject," and "Spy," he thought they were discussing the current situation. But while casually playing with Lady Sanhua, he listened carefully and slowly realized they were playing a strange game.

Li Shan was a demon now, but as "Tan Liangzi," she was not a demon before. She had many past identities, so although her realm was not high, her experience and vision were considerable. He knew Li Yunxin was now in the True Realm. The True Realm... meant the possibility of cultivating the divine ability of "Spirit Soul Manifesting True Body."

But as far as he knew, Li Yunxin had only entered the True Realm for a little over a month. Logically, it was impossible for him to cultivate such a divine ability in such a short time.

However, since he did have insight, he also hypothesized: what if this person had extremely high comprehension, was a genius among geniuses, and truly had a one-in-ten-million chance of cultivating it?

—Even if he cultivated it, there would be many restrictions.

Li Yunxin was only in the Accomplished Master Realm—the lowest tier of the True Realm. A true body divided in this realm could not stray more than thirty li (approx. 15 km) from the main body.

Thirty li... The distance from the main hall of this Ziwei Palace on Jun Mountain to the nearest Dongting Lake was already over a hundred li. Even if he had a clone, he still couldn't leave Dongting. Once he got too far, the true body would automatically return to its original position.

Thinking of this, he felt a little more at ease, and continued to watch him very closely.

He watched for three full hours.

First, Old Daoist Liu seemed tired and suggested taking a break for some food. However, Li Yunxin seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the game, as if he hadn't heard.

Bai Yunxin also looked bored and said, "Let's stop, let's play another day." She stood up. Once she stood up, her maid naturally followed.

Thus, only that Li Yunxin remained, still excitedly muttering something, refusing to move, as if completely lost in thought, unaware that the other three had left the table. Li Shan instinctively frowned at this sight.

Old Daoist Liu seemed to remember something, hurriedly flashed to block Li Yunxin, saying, "Brother Xin, let's play again another day," while helping him up and walking him toward the side hall. But... that Li Yunxin, even as he walked with Old Daoist Liu, was still repeating the words he had been saying while playing the game just now.

At this point, Li Shan finally took a deep breath and realized that something was wrong.

This "Li Yunxin" in front of him... was not the Li Yunxin he had known before at all. Rather than being a great demon, he seemed more like a puppet with a muddled mind!

Cold sweat immediately broke out on his body. He quickly found an excuse, saying he needed to leave for a moment.

San Hua was currently absorbed in playing with herself, muttering and talking to herself, and paid no attention to him, letting him go. This Li Shan first exited the main hall, then sped like the wind to hide in the forest, and after confirming no one was around, he clung to the steep rock wall and climbed upward, taking a great risk to peek half his head through the window of the side hall—

He saw the "Li Yunxin" who had been escorted into the side hall by Old Daoist Liu turning into speckles of light and dissipating into the air. He heard Old Daoist Liu sighing—

"Alas... my Daoist Arts are not refined enough after all. If Brother Xin were to draw it, this figure wouldn't dissipate even after two days!"
