Chapter 429: Chaotic Times

The cooperation with the Demon Race World that Lin Xun referred to…

…meant the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and the Demon Race World working together from the inside and outside within the Myriad Laws World.

Although the Demon Race World and the Myriad Laws World were collectively known as “The World” long ago and were originally inseparable,

things are different now, after all.

And although the Old Man didn’t care about much, he had told Lin Xun and Su Ying many times,

no matter what happens to the Myriad Laws World, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect must never betray it!

This was the Ancestral Teaching of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

So when Su Ying and She Qiqi cooperated, Lin Xun’s first reaction was whether his Junior Sister had betrayed the Myriad Laws World.

Hearing her Senior Brother’s questioning, Su Ying, who was incomparably powerful in front of others, lowered her head like a Little Girl who had done something wrong and was waiting for a scolding.

“Your Junior Sister has not betrayed the so-called Myriad Laws World.”

She Qiqi watched as Su Ying turned into a little rabbit in front of Lin Xun, feeling extremely puzzled in her heart.

Rumor had it that when Su Ying first entered the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, she completely viewed Lin Xun as a competitor.

The relationship between the two could be described as being as incompatible as fire and water.

What on earth happened to cause the relationship between this Senior Brother and Junior Sister to advance so rapidly?

Su Ying was even so well-behaved in front of Lin Xun that she treated him as her only reliance.

This was information that She Qiqi couldn’t find no matter how hard she looked.

“However, if you believe Su Ying has betrayed the Myriad Laws World, you can think of it that way as well,” She Qiqi added.

“What do you mean?” Lin Xun looked at She Qiqi.

“It’s simple.”

She Qiqi smiled with narrowing eyes.

She Qiqi’s smile was beautiful, but Lin Xun was wary of it every time.

Her smiles usually meant nothing good was about to happen.

“Su Ying made a deal with me, not with the Demon Race World.”

“The difference?” Lin Xun asked briefly.

“The difference is that Su Ying is cooperating with me, not with the Demon Race World.

I know your Ten Thousand Demon Sect has an Ancestral Teaching.

No matter what, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect must not collude with the Demon Race World to backstab the Myriad Laws World.

But Lin Xun,

you also know that a long, long time ago, there was no division between the Myriad Laws and the Demon Race World in this world.

So, strictly speaking, no such thing as betrayal exists.”

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. “Are you using sophistry?”

“Not really, and there’s no need for it.”

She Qiqi’s smile carried a hint of playfulness.

“Lin Xun, what if I said that in the near future, neither the Myriad Laws World nor the Demon Race World will exist?

What will remain is only a world in chaos.

Every Sect will fight for itself.

Every Sect will break the rules, scrambling and fighting with each other.

Then do you think the concept of ‘World’ like the Myriad Laws World and the Demon Race World is important?”

“It’s not important.”

She Qiqi answered Lin Xun directly.

“When that time comes, it will be a true case of the weak being prey to the strong, where the winner takes all.

At that time, as long as one can save their own life, they will do anything.

At that time, the concept of ‘The World’ will no longer exist; there will only be enemies and interests.

The so-called righteous Sects of your Myriad Laws World will be willing to cooperate with anyone for their own benefit.

Similarly, it will be the same for the Demon Race World.

Because that is a chaotic era.

And my deal with Su Ying is simply to become allies when that time comes.”

Lin Xun looked into She Qiqi’s eyes.

She Qiqi could feel his emotions, and similarly, Lin Xun could feel hers.

Lin Xun knew that She Qiqi wasn’t lying to him; everything she said was true.

“Neither Xiao Ying nor I are the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. Go tell all of this to the Old Man.”

Lin Xun didn’t know what kind of scheme She Qiqi was up to, and he didn’t want to know.

For Lin Xun, he had the confidence to protect the people he cared about in any era.

And that was enough.

“Alright, don’t keep your head down like you’re waiting for me to scold you.”

Lin Xun patted Su Ying’s head.

“Senior Brother doesn’t blame me?” Su Ying looked up at Lin Xun, feeling a bit guilty.

“Why would I blame you?”

Lin Xun said with a smile.

“Doesn’t that fellow She Qiqi have a point? If we reach those Chaotic Times, there really won’t be any difference between the Myriad Laws World and the Demon Race World.

Besides, if you really violated the Ancestral Teachings of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, then it should be me, your Senior Brother, who bears the responsibility. How could I blame you?

Rather, it’s me.

Xiao Ying, I’m sorry.

I didn’t expect Master to have entered isolated cultivation. During the years I was away, your situation must have been so difficult.”

“It wasn’t.”

Su Ying held her Senior Brother’s large hand and shook her head.

“As long as Senior Brother is safe, everything Ying did was worth it.”

Su Ying’s words made Lin Xun feel even more guilty.

At this moment, She Qiqi also sensed something slightly off.

Su Ying appeared extremely weak and delicate in front of Lin Xun.

This was true.

But She Qiqi always felt that Su Ying seemed to be playing some kind of scheme on Lin Xun.

Lin Xun then asked Bai Luoxue some questions.

Lin Xun learned the circumstances of how Bai Luoxue came to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

As for Jiang Nongqin’s intentional protection of Bai Luoxue,

according to the Sect rules, the punishment would definitely be severe.

But since Lin Xun was the one in charge, he naturally ignored it.

“Let’s go, let’s go see Master first.”

Lin Xun and his group headed to the Magic Formation where Daoist Ming Lu was trapped.

“Your Highness Saint, Your Highness Saintess.”

The Magic Formation was maintained by the Death Warriors of Lin Xun and Su Ying.

Seeing Lin Xun and Su Ying arrive, they all knelt on one knee.

Lin Xun nodded. “It’s fine here now. Thank you for your hard work. Dispel the Magic Formation.”

“Yes.” The Death Warriors didn’t say much and simply acted according to Lin Xun’s words.

The Magic Formation was withdrawn, and the five Profound Heavenly Chains trapping Daoist Ming Lu were also unfastened. Daoist Ming Lu fell from the air.

All of this was to prevent the Blood Demon from still remaining in Daoist Ming Lu’s body, fearing an accident.

Lin Xun walked to his Master’s side and sent a wisp of Divine Sense into his Master’s forehead.

After half an incense stick’s time, Lin Xun withdrew his Divine Sense, finally confirming that there were no Blood Demon remnants in his Master’s body.

However, his Master’s Divine Soul was significantly damaged.

Although an Ascension Realm Divine Soul can repair itself, no one knew exactly when Master would wake up.

Lin Xun had too many things he wanted to ask.

But for now, he could only let it go temporarily or look for clues himself.

After moving Daoist Ming Lu back to the Immortal Cave, Lin Xun really wanted to visit the place where his Master had been in isolated cultivation.

He wanted to know what exactly had happened at his Master’s cultivation site and why a Blood Demon had appeared.

But Lin Xun had an even more important matter.

That was to deal with the remnants of the rebels.

And everything in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect was waiting for Lin Xun’s handling and decision.
