Chapter 1274: True Demon Blood
The guard in a yellow robe was startled, then he responded, glanced at the other guard, and ran into the mansion.
After about 15 minutes, a middle-aged demon in a bright yellow robe walked out of the mansion. He was also a Celestial State cultivator. He glanced at Liu Ming with a hint of surprise.
“I hope honorable sir won’t be offended for failing to welcome you from afar.” The middle-aged man in a yellow robe quickly smiled and said with a laugh.
“No no, it’s me who visit without an appointment.” Liu Ming also said politely.
Hearing Liu Ming’s kind tone, the middle-aged man in a yellow robe was secretly relieved.
“I heard that sir is here to visit my family master. Please come in quickly.” The middle-aged man in the yellow robe chuckled and led the way first.
Liu Ming followed behind calmly.
They entered the door. Liu Ming saw the entire manor.
The Yan Family’s mansion was mainly built in a calm style with black bricks and blue tiles. Some radiance could be seen faintly on the surface. Liu Ming tried to sense with Divine Thought, but Divine Thought could hardly penetrate it at all. A special enchantment was set obviously.
After several turns, they quickly came to a large and bright main hall.
In the hall, an old man with white eyebrows was sitting on the main seat, drinking tea quietly.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the old man raised his head and just happened to meet Liu Ming’s eyes. They examined each other. There was a puzzled look in the old man’s eyes.
“Sir is the master of the Yan Family, right? I’m Liu Ming. Sorry for visiting without informing.” Liu Ming said while cupping his fist.
“Mr. Liu, you’re welcome. Please sit down.” A warm smile appeared on the old man with white eyebrows. He pointed to the chair next to him.
After Liu Ming and the middle-aged man in a yellow robe sat down, the maid served 2 cups of spiritual tea after a while.
After a few words of courtesy, the old man with white eyebrows put down the teacup in his hand and said, “Excuse me for my poor eyesight, but I don’t seem to have met Mr. Liu before. Sir surname is Liu, could it be that you are a disciple of the Liu Family in the Long State?”
The Liu Family of the Long State referred to 1 of the 4 great families of the Thousands Demons Continent. The Liu Family had power all over the Thousands Demons Continent, but the root of the family was the Long State.
“Hehe, I’m not from the Liu Family in the Long State. I’m just here to retrieve something for someone today.” Liu Ming said with a faint smile.
The old man with white eyebrows was startled by these works.
Liu Ming raised his hand, and a pale golden talisman appeared in his palm. The runes around the talisman faintly formed the word ‘Mo(demon)’.
The old man with white eyebrows was astounded to see the golden talisman in Liu Ming’s hand. He stood up suddenly.
The middle-aged man in a yellow robe was shocked by the reaction of the old man with white eyebrows, then he looked at the golden talisman with a look of doubt in his eyes.
It took a while for the old man with white eyebrows to retrieve his gaze from the golden talisman in Liu Ming’s hand, then he looked at Liu Ming with burning eyes.
Liu Ming stared at him calmly. After a while, the old man with white eyebrows took a deep breath and said to the middle-aged man in a yellow robe beside him, “Elder Xi. You go out first. I have something to talk to this Mr. Liu alone.”
The middle-aged man in a yellow robe nodded at the old man with white eyebrows, then he walked out of the hall.
After the middle-aged man in a yellow robe walked out of the hall, the old man with white eyebrows launched 2 black symbols toward both sides of the hall. Crisscrossing black spirit patterns appeared on the walls, faintly forming a black array.
After doing this, the old man with white eyebrows nodded slightly to Liu Ming and said, “Please wait here for a while, Mr. Liu. I will return quickly.”
After saying this, the old man with white eyebrows hurriedly walked into the inner door of the hall.
Liu Ming looked at the black array around him, and he found that it was just an ordinary isolation array, then he sat down in relief.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the old man with white eyebrows came back with a square wooden box in his hands. He carefully placed it on a desk in the hall.
The old man bowed to the wooden box before opening it. A golden talisman flew out of it.
It was the same as the golden talisman in Liu Ming’s hand.
The next moment, 2 golden talismans flew into the air and released a dazzling light as if they were echoing each other.
The 2 talismans flew to one place and slowly merged together.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ming looked surprised, but the old man with white eyebrows shook, revealing an excited look.
Soon, the 2 golden talismans merged into a palm-sized talisman and rotated slowly in mid-air.
The old man with white eyebrows respectfully took the golden talisman, put it into the wooden box, deeply bowed at it again, and said to Liu Ming,
“Is Mr. Liu the descendant or disciple of Senior Mo Tian?”
Liu Ming stared at the old man with white eyebrows and said, “I’m not a descendant nor a disciple of Senior Mo Tian. I have just been taught by him several times. I came here this time to retrieve the thing he deposited in Yan Family.”
“Where is Senior Mo Tian now?” The old man with white eyebrows pondered for a while, then he asked again.
There was slight anger on Liu Ming’s face, then he shook his head and said in a deep voice, “I’m entrusted by Senior Mo Tian only to get that thing. Senior Mo Tian is elusive, how do I know where he is at the moment? “
“Mr. Liu, don’t be offended. I don’t want to get to the root of it. Back then, our Yan Family suffered a catastrophe. Thanks to the help of senior Mo Tian, our family was saved. In order to repay this kindness, we have been guarding an item for Senior Mo Tian. This matter is very important, so I have to be careful.” The old man with white eyebrows said apologetically.
Hearing this, there was a strange look in Liu Ming’s eyes. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he just said calmly,
“Since this is the case, does the true demon blood still in the Yan Family?”
“Yes, the true demon blood is indeed still treasured in the mansion. Since Mr. Liu is holding this talisman, it is enough to prove the relationship between you and Senior Mo Tian. If you want to take this thing, I will hand it over.” The old man with white eyebrows nodded after hearing the words.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and nodded noncommittally.
The old man with white eyebrows waved and took out a white jade box. Several talismans were stuck on the lid.
As he lightly stroked the jade box, the talismans were quickly removed. After removing the lid, it there was a nearly transparent diamond-shaped crystal inside.
“Sir, please verify it.” The old man with white eyebrows placed the jade box in front of Liu Ming.
Liu Ming directly took out the crystal from the box and examined it.
The crystal was sparkling with a faint red light.
Looking in through the crystal, a drop of bright red blood the size of a fingernail was sealed in the crystal. Even though the crystal, he could still feel the pure demonic qi it emitted.
“Yes, it is indeed the true demon blood.” Liu Ming nodded, put away the crystal, and said flatly.
“Since the matter is over, I will leave now.” Liu Ming immediately stood up and bade farewell.
The old man with white eyebrows tried to persuade him to stay, but after no success, he removed the array outside the hall and personally sent Liu Ming out of the Yan Manor.
After seeing Liu Ming leave, he looked uncertain. Suddenly, he stomped his feet and turned back into the hall as if he had made up his mind.
After Liu Ming left the Yan Manor, he flew for thousands of miles before stopping. He took out the diamond-shaped crystal that sealed the true demon blood and stared at it.
At this moment, Mo Tian came out from Liu Ming. After looking at the crystal, he slowly said,
“Okay, now that you have obtained the true demon blood, all you need to do next is to find a place with rich demonic qi and set up a Yuan Attracting Array, then I can cast a spell to merge the true demon blood into your body.”
“Senior is really far-sighted. Tens of thousands of years ago, you already thought of storing this true demon blood in this kind of place.” Liu Ming said with a hidden meaning.
“It was just a spontaneous decision. I really didn’t expect it would really come in handy today.” Mo Tian said seemingly casually.
Liu Ming nodded and didn’t say much. After putting away the demon blood, he took out the animal skin map and checked it.
“No need to look for other places. Just enter Dong Lu Mountain Range directly from Iron Blade Canyon to find a demon source. If you are lucky, you might find a true demon source.” Mo Tian flashed back into Liu Ming’s body.
Hearing this, Liu Ming glanced at the distant sky while having a surge of thoughts.
Mo Tian seems to have already set up a lot of fail safes in the Thousands Demons Continent, whether it is the true demon blood or the family he founded, he would definitely not do them without purpose.
Now Mo Tian and I coexist in soul, I must be careful in everything. Otherwise, I may become a p.a.w.n in Mo Tian’s hands.
But so far, what he has done does not seem to be harmful to me, so it is better to take it step by step.
After making up his mind, he immediately flew toward Iron Blade Canyon.
With his current escape speed, it didn’t take long to come near Iron Blade Canyon.
The Iron Blade Canyon was tens of miles wide. There was a fast-flowing long river below. The mountain walls on both sides were very smooth as if they were caused by a slash.
The depths of the canyon were dark and filled with thick black mist. The Dong Lu Mountain Range farther away was also shrouded in a faint black mist, which looked a bit blurry.
This place was only the outer edge of Dong Lu Mountain Range. Liu Ming didn’t stay there for long and flew directly into the depths of the canyon.
TL: Maybe the Ancient Sacred Demon was Mo Tian, and the true demon blood is his blood?
