Chapter 169: Shocked
Regarding Liu Wuxie’s answer, the divine voice on the altar snorted coldly and said:
"You want to wash your hands of it now, but it’s too late. Do you know what those two demon marks on your body are for? This was a method I left behind to control you back then. These marks were created by our Demon Ancestor."
"If they are applied to humans, there will be no problem as long as they don’t betray us. If they resist, then this demon mark will slowly assimilate you into the Demon Clan, and by then, you will become one of us."
Hearing the voice of the Demon Clan from the altar, Liu Wuxie said:
"Then why didn’t you just control me directly with the demon marks!"
"Don’t you think it’s better to make you do something you don’t want to do yourself? Haven’t you noticed that your own emotions are slowly changing? Of course, this change is insignificant and generally won’t be noticed."
"If I controlled you directly, it would be easily noticed by some attentive people."
Listening to the voice from the altar, Liu Wuxie looked at Li Meng’er at this moment, sighed helplessly, and said to the altar:
"I want to make her my inheritor. What do you think? I don’t want to kill her, and I certainly don’t want to possess and become a woman."
After a long period of contemplation, the divine voice on the altar said:
"You can do as you say, but there is one condition, and that is that the demon marks must be implanted into her body."
Hearing the voice on the altar say this, Liu Wuxie clenched his fists tightly, then released them.
However, just at this moment, a voice echoed throughout the world within this stone coffin.
"Old Man, I didn’t expect this. It’s been so many years since we last met, and you’ve actually become like this. What’s more, even after death, you’re not at peace and want to harm future generations. What disappoints me the most is that you actually colluded with the Demon Clan."
This voice entered Liu Wuxie’s ears, immediately causing him to fall into deep thought. This voice was so familiar.
"Liu Wuxie, you brought someone in!" The voice on the altar said.
"No, I didn’t bring them in. Who are you? Come out quickly! Do you know me? Your voice is so familiar. Who exactly are you?" Liu Wuxie shouted loudly towards the direction from which Wang Yufan’s voice came.
The void rippled, and Wang Yufan, dressed in White, appeared before Liu Wuxie.
The moment Liu Wuxie saw Wang Yufan, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t utter a single word, pointing at Wang Yufan with his finger.
"You... you..."
Wang Yufan looked at Liu Wuxie and said:
"What? So many years have passed, have you already forgotten me? Liu Wuxie Old Man!"
Liu Wuxie pointed for a long time before finally saying a sentence.
"You are Wang Yufan! Impossible! Tens of millions of years have passed now. I should have died long ago due to the end of my lifespan. My remaining soul has been sealed here, which is why I had the chance to see the light of day again. How could you still be alive? Even if you were a Godly Venerable or a God Emperor, you shouldn’t be without lifespan limitations."
"You are not Wang Yufan. Speak, who are you impersonating and what do you want!"
As Liu Wuxie spoke, he felt that the Wang Yufan standing before him must be someone else impersonating him. He didn’t believe that Wang Yufan was still alive.
Wang Yufan looked at Liu Wuxie like this, and it was no wonder he would doubt him.
Wang Yufan said: "Old Man, I said something back then, I wonder if you remember. What defeated you wasn’t innocence, but Wuxie, right, Liu Wuxie."
Hearing this, Liu Wuxie’s body trembled, because these were the very words Wang Yufan used to say to him before, and he loved to tease him with this phrase.
"Are you really Wang Yufan? How are you still alive? And you look the same as before, without any changes."
Wang Yufan smiled and looked at Liu Wuxie, without answering a word.
Then he looked towards the altar and said:
"Let me guess, you should be a Soul Demon, a type of Heaven Demon. What you’re best at is parasitizing human souls, right?"
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, the voice on the altar said in shock:
"Who are you? How do you know so much about our Demon Clan? Ordinary humans wouldn’t know about these things of our Demon Clan. I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise, I won’t be polite to you."
"Oh? You don’t believe me if I say I saw it myself?"
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, the altar rumbled, and then a black demonic creature with bared fangs and claws transformed into a stream of light and directly shot into Wang Yufan’s mind.
Wang Yufan
"Hehehe, human, if you don’t tell me, then this Lord will find the answer I want myself." The Soul Demon said arrogantly.
"Oh? Let’s see how you find it?" Wang Yufan’s voice echoed around the Soul Demon.
In Wang Yufan’s mind, the Soul Demon rushed towards a neutral-looking island that shimmered with iridescent light. That’s where Wang Yufan’s memories were. As long as he knew Wang Yufan’s memories, he would definitely know the answer he wanted.
Seeing the Soul Demon rushing towards the small island in his Sea of Consciousness, Wang Yufan deliberately hid some things, displaying some memories he found interesting in front of the Soul Demon.
In Wang Yufan’s mind.
Scenes of Wang Yufan’s battle with the Soul Race and their battle with the Demon Clan were played out one after another. The Soul Demon was already trembling in his soul. He couldn’t believe that his Demon Ancestor was actually sealed by a White-Clothed Youth in a place called Youming Star Abyss, and then all the subsequent images disappeared.
Only then did he realize that the previous scenes were memory fragments from someone. A chill directly enveloped him completely.
He no longer cared about continuing to explore. There was only one word left in his heart, and that was "Escape."
The Soul Demon rapidly fled towards the outside of the small island in Wang Yufan’s Sea of Consciousness. But a mysterious force directly fixed him in the air just as he was about to step out.
Wang Yufan’s figure appeared before him. The Soul Demon’s eyes widened, and he said in disbelief:
"That person was you? You’ve met our Demon Ancestor? You..."
He couldn’t say the rest of the words. Because only now did he realize that he shouldn’t have rushed into the mind of the White-Clothed Youth in front of him so rashly, because this White-Clothed young man was not even a match for their Demon Ancestor, let alone him, a Soul Demon.
Looking at the trapped Soul Demon, Wang Yufan smiled and said: "Alright, you’ve seen what you wanted to see, and you know the answer you wanted. I’m also a good person, so I’ll let you go quickly." As Wang Yufan spoke, he pointed a finger towards the Soul Demon’s forehead.
The Soul Demon’s entire body trembled, and his figure slowly became illusory, finally turning into specks of starlight hovering above the small island in Wang Yufan’s Sea of Consciousness.
After dealing with the Soul Demon, Wang Yufan returned to reality, looked at the still-shocked Liu Wuxie, and said:
"Speak, how should you make up for the mistake you made? Do you know that this Rakshasa Body is someone I found specifically to inherit from you? I didn’t expect you to pull this stunt on me."
