Chapter 209: Junior Sister Refuses to Die (Forty)
Su Yi: "Well, at that time, the Demon Queen was clamoring for revenge for Mo Teng, and she also said that there was a traitor in our Taoist sect, that the demon traitor who had sneaked into the Taoist sect was plotting to kill Mo Teng. She wanted the traitor and the murderer who killed Mo Teng to come forward, otherwise she would kill everyone who entered the secret realm."
Not to mention whether the traitor would stand up, even those of them who personally witnessed Mo Teng's death would not stand up and allow the Queen of Demons to target them.
The powerful people in the Taoist sect wish for the death of the young master of the demon clan, so how could they possibly help the Demon Queen find the murderer?
Ning Huang and Jian Feng were undergoing the tribulation nearby when several elders from Shangqing Sect, Wanjian Sect and Huanxi Sect started fighting with the Demon Queen. Later, Jian Huai, the leader of Wanjian Sect, arrived and the Demon Queen was outnumbered and had to flee.
After hearing this, Bai Li began to think about it. The Queen of Demons actually didn’t know Shang Zirou’s identity!
Shang Zirou kept it a secret so well that it was probably only the Demon Lord who knew Shang Zirou's identity in the Taoist sect. The Demon Queen, Mo Teng and others only knew that the Demon Lord had a daughter named Mo Rou.
The Demon Queen didn't know who killed Mo Teng, which meant that the Demon Lord hadn't told her yet. Either the Demon Queen acted too quickly and the Demon Lord didn't have time, or the Demon Lord was injured and had no time to care about his dead son.
Su Yi: "As far as I know, the relationship between the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen is cold. The Demon Lord has been practicing in the Fallen Demon Abyss for many years, while the Demon Queen and Mo Teng live in the Demon Palace. However, when his own son was murdered, the Demon Lord would not stand idly by and would definitely tell the Demon Queen the truth."
Su Yi: "The Demon Lord's spirit that attacked us didn't tell the Demon Queen about the circumstances surrounding Mo Teng's death. It's very likely that that spirit was shattered before it left the secret realm, and it lost contact with the main body. The Demon Lord therefore doesn't know what happened in the secret realm."
Su Yi recalled what he saw that day and expressed his doubts.
Su Yi: "Li'er, I think your senior sister Shang Zirou is a little weird."
Bai Li: "Huh? What's weird?"
Su Yi: "After the sunrise in the secret realm, everyone's attention was focused on the Demon Queen and the demons she led. Elder An Heguang and I were staying with you when I suddenly noticed an unknown red rune flashing in Shang Zirou's eyes."
Su Yi: "When I looked closely, the rune disappeared. After I returned to the sect, I searched through the ancient books of the Wanjian Sect and the Su family for two months and finally found that it was a sealing technique of the ancient demon clan, which had long been lost."
Bai Li: "Sealing technique? What does it do?"
Su Yi: "That was created by a branch of the ancient demon clan. It can hide the identity of the demon clan and make the demon clan look like humans temporarily."
Bai Li: "It's just a superficial resemblance, but the moves used should still be using magic power, right?"
Su Yi: "Well, except for one situation."
Su Yi paused for a moment, then pronounced the two words clearly.
Su Yi: "Half-demon."
Bai Li: "Half-demon? Half-demons are the product of the union of demons and other races. Generally, cultivation is difficult, and the techniques suitable for half-demons are inferior. They are disliked by both sides, and it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in the major cultivation worlds."
Su Yi: "Yes. But this sealing technique is very magical. If you can survive the seal, you can become a fake Taoist demon, transforming between Taoist and demonic cultivation. However, the scroll records that there is no cultivator who has succeeded."
Bai Li nodded. I see. She had thought Shang Zirou was a true Taoist-demon hybrid. A cultivator who was a Taoist-demon hybrid, at first glance, looked like a child of destiny. He was following the script of a cool novel.
Bai Li: "Are you doubting Senior Sister Shang?"
Su Yi: "Well, I suspect she is the demon spy. I have already informed my master about this matter, and he will investigate secretly. You and I should not act rashly."
Bai Li leaned back slightly, resting her upper body on the soft calming pillow.
Bai Li: "After I fainted, I met the tower spirit Xiaota. Xiaota told me that the female demon escaped with serious injuries."
Bai Li: "At that time, I only saw Senior Sister, Senior Brother Jianfeng, and you. I took the opportunity to ask about Senior Sister Shang's location, but the small tower couldn't sense Senior Sister Shang's aura. I guessed that she hadn't made it through the level and had already left the Demon Suppression Tower."
Su Yi: "If that female demon is Shang Zirou, she escaped with serious injuries and used a secret method to increase her cultivation by two major levels. She would definitely suffer a backlash, and the seal would loosen. It would naturally be difficult for her to suppress her demonic nature in front of others, which is why I just happened to notice her abnormality."
Bai Li: "But..."
