Chapter 1273: The Yan Family
“Okay, that’s right. To be honest with you, the Thousands Demons Continent is unlike any other place that you have visited. If you want to have a foothold in this place, relying on personal strength is absolutely impossible. You will understand this in the future.” Seeing that Liu Ming agreed, Mo Tian looked quite happy.
Liu Ming didn’t say anything more. He waved and took out a somewhat yellowed animal skin map.
This was the map of the entire Thousands Demons Continent that he had just bought a lot of demonic crystals. Dozens of states and counties of the Thousands Demons Continent were clearly drawn and marked clearly.
“Where is the demon race family you mentioned?” Liu Ming asked faintly.
Mo Tian’s mouth curled up. After glancing at the map, he pointed directly to a corner above the map.
Liu Ming frowned slightly after taking a look, but he nodded and said,
“I will depart immediately.”
The place Mo Tian said was far away from Cliff Moon City where he staying at the moment. There were a dozen states in between. It might take at least more than a year to fly there, so he didn’t want to waste time.
“Wait a minute, no need to rush this. There is one matter you need to resolve first.” Mo Tian said suddenly.
Liu Ming was startled, then he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Although you have a demon qi on you, you are a human cultivator after all. Although you can hide from most demons, if you really encounter a Mystic Comprehending State, you will be discovered immediately. If you don’t overcome this weakness, sooner or later you will get into trouble.” Mo Tian said.
Hearing this, Liu Ming’s eyed flashed a few times, and he said, “I indeed overlooked this matter. Since senior Mo Tian mentioned this matter, you must have a solution. Please give me your advice.”
“You’re already carrying my true demon imprint. If you can manage to get a drop of true demon blood, it will be integrated into your body through the Yuan Attracting Array. In this way, you will be equivalent to possessing part of the demon blood. At that time, not only will no one be able to detect your ident.i.ty, but it will also be of great benefit to your future cultivation.”
“True demon blood?” Liu Ming had only heard of true demon qi, but he had never heard of this true demon blood, so he couldn’t help asking.
“Only a few people in the Thousands Demons Continent know about this. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it. This thing is refined by the demon cultivator using the bones left by the Ancient Sacred Demon. It is suitable for demon with impure blood to change his bloodline.” Mo Tian said lightly.
Liu Ming was surprised. He knew that the demons of the Thousands Demons Continent attached great importance to bloodlines, just like the number of spiritual veins carried by human cultivators. Since the true demon blood could change one’s bloodline, it would be a rare treasure.
As for the Yuan Attracting Array, Liu Ming had seen it in a book. It was a ritual used by the demon race to inspire young demons and open up the sea of consciousness in their bodies. It was quite similar to the spirit initiating ritual of the human race.
“If this true demon blood really has such a magical effect, it must be hard to get. Does senior have any news about this?” Liu Ming asked after being silent for a while.
“Since I propose this method, I have a plan. Tens of thousands of miles north of Cliff Moon City, there is a Yan family. It has a drop of true demon blood hidden in it. You just have to bring this talisman to the family and get it under my name.” Mo Tian said lightly.
Mo Tian raised one hand, and a golden talisman condensed amidst a burst of golden light, then he threw it to Liu Ming.
Then, Mo Tian submerged into Liu Ming’s body in a black light.
Liu Ming took the golden talisman with a thoughtful look, then he put away the talisman.
Although he still had a lot of doubts, he had no better way now, so he had to take it step by step for now.
Nothing happened during the night.
In the next early morning, Liu Ming left the Cliff Moon City and flew in the direction Mo Tian pointed at, which was north.
Bei Yu State was already one of the states and counties closer to the hinterland of the Thousands Demons Continent. Regardless of its area and cultivation resources, it was far better than Bing State, Nan Zhan State and other border areas.
Although there were many aristocratic families in the state, there were no large-scale aristocratic families that could overwhelm other forces. As a result, the forces were so complex that the situation was unstable. Open and secret struggles often occurred.
In the southwest of Beiyu Prefecture, there was a huge mountain range across the entire Bei Yu State, called Dong Lu Mountain Range. This was the mountain range with the strongest demonic qi and the most demonic sources in the entire Bei Yu State.
Because of this, nearly half of the aristocratic families in Bei Yu State were rooted around the Dong Lu Mountain Range.
On the southern outskirts of the Dong Lu Mountain Range, there was a huge canyon that was thousands of miles long. If one looked down from a high alt.i.tude, it looked like it was formed by a slash of a powerhouse. That was why the canyon was called Iron Blade Canyon.
Near the Iron Blade Canyon, there were some small towns scattered here and there.
One day, a black light came flying from a distance and stopped near the southwest entrance of the canyon after a few flashes. After the black light faded, Liu Ming was revealed.
Liu Ming was suspended in the sky, looking at several cities of almost the same size below.
“Senior Mo Tian, do you still remember where is the exact address of the Yan Family?” He asked suddenly.
“It’s been about 50,000 years since I left the Thousands Demons Continent. How can this place be the same as before? Just ask someone. The Yan family probably won’t move from here.” Mo Tian’s voice came from Liu Ming’s body.
After hearing the words, Liu Ming pondered for a while, nodded, and landed in a city below.
At this moment, 3 Real Pellet State demon cultivators flew out of the city below and were flying toward the Iron Blade Canyon. They were a team heading to the Dong Lu Mountain Range to hunt for treasure.
There were many demonic sources in the Dong Lu Mountain Range. Therefore, there were many people who went to the depths of the mountain range to search for treasures. This was also an important reason for the prosperity of the nearby area.
Liu Ming flickered and stopped before the 3 of them.
The 3 Real Pellet State demons were astounded!
Liu Ming’s body was covered by a layer of black air, and his face could not be seen clearly, but his heavy spiritual pressure emanating clearly told the 3 of them that he was a Celestial State cultivator.
The three of them looked at each other in dismay. After a while, a Real Pellet State intermediate stage demon with the highest cultivation stepped out and bowed to Liu Ming.
“Greetings, senior. How may I help you?” The thin and tall demon said respectfully.
“Are you all the permanent residents here?” Liu Ming asked blankly.
“Yes, we are the cultivators of the nearby Lu Family.” The thin and tall demon was startled at first, then he immediately replied, feeling slightly relieved.
The Celestial State cultivator didn’t intend to trouble them by asking this.
“That’s good, do you know a Yan Family near the Iron Blade Canyon?” Liu Ming said slowly.
“The Yan Family?”
Hearing Liu Ming’s words, the thin and tall demon pondered for a while as if he was sorting out his thoughts, then he glanced at Liu Ming and said cautiously, “As far as I know, there are 4 Yan Families near the Iron Blade Canyon. Which family is senior referring to?”
Liu Ming was taken aback. He had never thought of such a situation.
“I remember that the Yan Family seems to be proficient in the way of talisman. Ask him about it.” Mo Tian’s voice sounded in Liu Ming’s mind.
“Among these 4 families, is there anyone who is proficient in the way of talisman?” Liu Ming asked.
“Being good at the way of talisman, it should be the Yan Family outside Hua Yi City.” Hearing this, the thin and tall demon said hastily.
The thin and tall demon was quite clever. Before Liu Ming asked, he took out a jade slip, marked the location of the Yan Family on it, and handed it to Liu Ming respectfully with both hands.
Liu Ming verified it with Divine Thought, then he nodded and flew away in a black light.
The thin and tall demon was relieved when he saw Liu Ming leave. The other 2 stepped forward.
“It seems that this Celestial State senior is a stranger from another place. Why is he looking for the Yan Family? Judging from his tone just now, he seems to be completely unfamiliar with the Yan Family.” A slightly fat demon said curiously.
“Perhaps this senior is an old friend of the Yan Family. What does this have to do with us? Don’t meddle in other people’s business. Let’s go.” The thin and tall demon said impatiently and flew toward the Iron Blade Canyon.
According to the guidance on the map, Liu Ming finally came to the vicinity of the city called Hua Yi City after 2 hours. It didn’t take much effort to find the location of the Yan Family. It was a large manor the size of dozens of acres.
On the plaque of the manor, the demonic character “Yan” was engraved. There were 2 guards in yellow clothes standing at the door.
Liu Ming landed in front of the door and removed the black air around him.
“Greetings, senior. May I know the reason for you to visit our Yan Family?” A guard in a yellow robe immediately came forward to greet him. Sensing that Liu Ming’s cultivation was high, he immediately said respectfully.
“I want to visit your family master for an important matter.” Liu Ming glanced at the guard in a yellow robe, revealing a trace of Celestial State spiritual pressure.
The guard in a yellow robe was only at the Crystallization Period. He took a step back in shock.
Liu Ming smiled slightly and canceled the spiritual pressure.
The guard in a yellow robe changed from horrified to awe, then he bowed at Liu Ming, “I will pa.s.s the message right away. May I know senior’s name?”
“My surname is Liu.” Liu Ming’s eyes flashed, and he said in a flat tone.
TL: It’s 50,000 years though, wouldn’t it be strange that the true demon blood is still here?
