Chapter 1311: Central Imperial City
Hearing this, Liu Ming knew that Mo Tian’s words were exaggerated, but he was still moved.
Whether the demonic essence sarira or the immortal magic weapon fragments of the ancient demons, they were worth fighting for.
“Senior Mo Tian seems to be familiar with Demon Abyss. Have you been there before?” Liu Ming asked as if thinking of something.
“I entered the Demon Abyss Secret Realm when it was opened last time, so I know a thing or two about the situation inside.” Mo Tian pondered for a moment, nodded, and said.
“So, is Senior closely related to the central imperial family and the 4 great families right?” Liu Ming said with a faint smile, seemingly hinting at something.
“My matter is irrelevant. I still have something to tell you about the Demon Abyss Secret Realm. Every time the Demon Abyss appears in the Thousands Demons Continent, the location is uncertain. Only the person holding the Demon Abyss Key can perceive the location and specific time of the Demon Abyss’s appearance.” Mo Tian’s face turned serious as he continued to explain.
“So that’s the case.” Liu Ming nodded.
Regarding Mo Tian’s ident.i.ty, based on the situation, Liu Ming already had a vague guess. Since Mo Tian didn’t want to mention it, Liu Ming wisely stopped asking more questions.
“Alright, that’s all I have to say about the Demon Abyss. Next, you must remember the method I told you to refine this key so that you can obtain information about this Demon Abyss.” Mo Tian sent out a voice transmission after he had done explaining.
Liu Ming didn’t dare to neglect this. He memorized everything Mo Tian instructed.
After a while, Liu Ming sat cross-legged, clasped his hands, held the Demon Abyss Key, and began chanting lowly.
After the chant, faint black air appeared in Liu Ming’s palm, wrapping the Demon Abyss Key layer by layer. Densely packed small runes began to appear on the surface of the Demon Abyss Key, emitting a faint black l.u.s.ter.
Time pa.s.sed bit by bit. After 2 hours, the Demon Abyss Key in Liu Ming’s hand trembled slightly. All the black air was absorbed by the key.
Then, the Demon Abyss Key shot a ray of light into his body.
Liu Ming’s body shook slightly, and he opened his eyes.
“It seems that you have already sensed it.” Seeing this, Mo Tian said faintly.
“Yes, the opening time of the Demon Abyss should be 3 years later. The location is north of the Thousands Demons Continent. It shouldn’t be far from here, so we should arrive on time.” Liu Ming thought for a while before commenting.
“The time is about the same as I expected. By the way, there is one more thing I have to tell you. After the Demon Abyss Secret Realm is opened, there will be a layer of ancient barriers around it, which even the Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse cannot destroy. Only the Demon Abyss Key in your hand can open it. Each key can bring 5 people into the Demon Abyss, so it’s possible if you want to get helpers.” Mo Tian then said again.
Liu Ming was surprised when he heard Mo Tian.
“Oh, there is such a thing.”
“Get 1 or 2 helpers before entering the Demon Abyss. Each great families will send at least 5 people into the secret realm. There will be many powerhouses at the Celestial State peak stage. It will be a disadvantage for you to head in alone. Even though the secret realm does not limit the cultivation of those who enter it, the Mystic Comprehending State cultivators will be severely suppressed. At most, their strength is equivalent to the Celestial State peak stage. Only the Celestial State cultivators will not be affected.” Mo Tian continued.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Liu Ming’s face.
“I don’t need any helper. Although there are a few Celestial States in the Qing Family, they are relatively weak and can’t help me much. I can’t trust the others either.” After a while, Liu Ming shook his head and said.
“It’s up to you. In short, you are on your own. I have exhausted my energy in helping you to escape this time, so I have to rest and recover.” Mo Tian was indifferent.
When Mo Tian ended his words, he immediately returned to the black-scaled palm, then the black-scaled palm turned into a wisp of black air and disappeared into Liu Ming’s body.
After Liu Ming pondered for a while, he raised one hand. A yellow light rolled out from his sleeve, turning into a yellow translucent bead and floating several meters in the air before him.
Liu Ming guided the bead with his fingers, making it spin slowly.
“Rise!”
Following Liu Ming’s shout, a yellow light swept out from the bead and fell toward an open s.p.a.ce not far away.
Under the flashing yellow light, more than 100 green figures emerged simultaneously.
As the light faded, the faces of these figures became clearer and clearer. They were Qing Fang and other members of the Qing Family who had previously been kept in the Mountain River Pearl.
“Family Master!” Qing Fang, the leader, said in joy after seeing Liu Ming in front.
Behind him, the rest of the family members also knelt respectfully to Liu Ming. They all looked gratified.
After experiencing the battle at the Black Wind Col and witnessing the horror of the Great Chaos Mara Array, they knew in their hearts that they would have fallen into the trap without Liu Ming’s instructions. Liu Ming even kept the members of the Qing Family in the immortal magic weapon at the critical moment, avoiding the disaster of falling into the hands of the Liu Family and Da Shuo.
At this moment, the place they were in was surrounded by barren mountains. The wind was calm. There was no sign of a battle. They were no longer at the Black Wind Col. How could they not realize that Liu Ming had taken them away from danger?
Thinking of this, the members of the Qing Family were in deep reverence toward the young family master, Liu Ming, even more.
“It’s good that everyone is fine.” Liu Ming nodded slightly to them and waved his hand, gesturing them to stop the courtesy.
“If it weren’t for Family Master, I’m afraid we would be dead in Black Wind Col.” Qing Fang recalled the previous situation and said with lingering fear.
“Previously, when the Liu Family summoned all the family masters with the mobilization order, I already felt strange. However, I never expected that the Liu Family, 1 of the 4 great families, is the true mastermind of the Da Shuo Army.” Liu Ming sighed.
“Family Master, what should we do next?” Qing Fang said with a slight frown after thinking about it.
“Elder Qing Fang, take them and try to sneak back to Tuo Zang Mountain Range immediately. Contact Elder Qing Gu and immediately move the family to the central part of the continent.” Liu Ming ordered Qing Fang after a moment of pondering.
After this battle, the Zang State might soon fall into the hands of Da Shuo. Given the strength of the Liu Family, Liu Ming’s ident.i.ty would be found out. It was impossible to guarantee that the Liu Family would not take action against the Qing Family to force Liu Ming to hand over the Demon Abyss Key.
Liu Ming did not want to lose the Qing Family he managed for so many years, which was the foundation of his foothold in Thousands Demons Continent.
The Liu Family’s treason was shocking. The news would spread quickly. Qing Gu who appeared to be thoughtless actually had meticulous thought. After making clear of the situation, he would take corresponding actions. He might have already led the Qing Family to take refuge.
“Yes! Family Master, won’t you go back with us?” Qing Fang was startled for a moment, then he immediately asked.
“I still have things to deal with. You take this talisman with you, and I will contact you when the time comes.” As Liu Ming said, he gave a silver talisman to Qing Fang.
Hearing this, Qing Fang cupped his fist respectfully. He carefully put away the silver talisman. Then, he led the rest of the Qing Family and flew into the distance.
“I hope it’s still in time!”
After watching Qing Fang and the others disappear into the sky, Liu Ming touched his chin and thought to himself.
Then, he turned around and flew in the opposite direction.
Not long after, Liu Ming arrived at a somewhat secluded mountain.
He had long been accustomed to establishing a temporary cave house. After waving the sword finger for a while, a simple cave house appeared before him.
Then, after setting up some enchantments around, Liu Ming meditated cross-legged.
After a day and a night, Liu Ming fully recovered his spiritual power and mental power. He walked out of the cave house, turned into an escape light, and went straight to the north of the continent under the guidance of the Demon Abyss Key.
…
Yu State was located in the east of the Thousands Demons Continent. Although the eastern part was not as vast as the several states in the border areas, it was the wealthiest state among the 33 states of Thousands Demons Continent, which was densely packed with demonic sources.
This was also the territory of the central imperial that currently dominated the entire continent, which was the headquarters of the Huangfu family.
There were countless large and small cities in Yu State, among which the most magnificent was naturally the Central Imperial City located northwest of the Yu State.
The Central Imperial City covered an area of tens of thousands of miles, surrounded by mountains and rivers. If one looked from above, he would see the hexagon shape of the city. The city was divided into 3 areas from the outside to the inside.
The outermost area was open to ordinary demons. It was no different from other cities in the Thousands Demons Continent. Only some royal family members could enter the second area. As for the innermost core area, it was naturally the Demon Emperor Palace, where Demon Emperor Huangfu Yong resided.
At this moment, an angry man’s voice came from a big hall in the Demon Emperor Palace.
The area of the main hall was vast, about several hundred meters in size. The main hall was surrounded by dozens of tall, thick columns with purple patterns. In the middle of the deepest part of the main hall was a large chair carved from purple jade.
A middle-aged man in a purple brocade robe sat on a jade chair.
The man appeared in his 40s, with black hair over his shoulders, high cheekbones, and a complicated black rune on his forehead. If Liu Ming were here, he might be surprised to find that this rune was the same as the True Demon Imprint that Mo Tian gave him.
The purple light in this person’s eyes looked deep. There was an indescribable majestic aura exuding from him. He was clearly a person who held great power all year round.
There were 4 demons sitting side by side beside the Demon Emperor. On the left was an elegant old man in a purple robe and a slender veiled woman. On the other side was a burly man with messy hair and a silver-haired middle-aged man with a hideous face.
Although the 4 demons seemed to sit normally, they exuded a shocking true demonic qi. Their cultivation had reached the Mystic Comprehending State.
