Chapter 211: Chapter 209: There Must Be a Demon When Things Are Abnormal

Yang Fuqing and Yang Fujian rode Big Mao, flying through the air surrounded by a flock of colorful parrots which, serving as demon spies, scouted the surroundings for Yang Fuqing.

“Caw~ after I return today, I’ll drink a jug of Spirit Brew.”

“Caw~ I want to eat the delicacies from the Residence of Intentions~”

“Caw~ Fuqing is the best boss ever, never had such things back in Devil Wind Forest…”

“Caw caw caw caw~”

The entire tribe of colorful parrots was willing to work for Yang Fuqing; life was far too comfortable, unlike those foolish Demon Beasts who thought only of eating each other—how crude!

As a tribe valuing intelligence, their greatest disdain was for those simple-minded Demon Beasts that couldn’t even fight properly.

Soon, the two returned with their reconnaissance troops to the spot where they had seen the demon yesterday.

This place was a sunken valley, filled with flowers everywhere and many caves inhabited by numerous Demon Beasts.

Yang Fuqing named this place Myriad Flower Valley.

When they had passed by the day before, they heard demons here walking upright and speaking human language, but as it was getting dark and some dangerous Demon Beasts were out seeking food, they couldn’t stay long and thus returned to Bright City.

Today, they came back in daylight to explore further.

“Brother, which cave was it that had the talking demon yesterday?”

“In the western side of the valley, but the terrain here… seems different from when we came yesterday, there might be a trap.”

Yang Fujian’s back bore three swords, all trembling.

He was ready to cut down anything abnormal at any moment!

When in doubt, kill it first.

Yang Fuqing closely observed the surroundings, noting the caves appeared somewhat ethereal.

“It does look a bit different, but there are flowers everywhere… it’s making me dizzy.”

The two dared not descend, instead circling in the air.

The colorful parrots were also not good at observing.

At that moment, a golden finger appeared in the sky, pointing toward the center of Myriad Flower Valley.

“This is a natural Illusion Array made of dusk flowers. Clearing away these flowers will disrupt the Great Array and reveal the true face of the valley.”

“The ancestors have come to help us!”

“Fujian is foolish… it’s troublesome to have the ancestor take action.”

Yang Fuqing was delighted, while Yang Fujian was rather apprehensive.

“Soul Seal, release!”

“Come forth, Blazing Fire Bird!”

Yang Fuqing deployed two Spirit Beasts to help the Cultivators avoid danger, and she still had five contracted Spirit Beasts she could use.

At that moment, a massive red bird burst forth from her dantian, flapping its wings as it sent down a meteor shower of flames.

This was a Fire Element attack type Spirit Beast she had found in the Fierce Sun Dynasty. Though its flying speed was not as fast as that of the giant-winged bat, its Fire Element Techniques were extremely powerful, surpassing the Fire Skill might of other Cultivators of the same Realm.

Boom!

The dusk flowers on the ground were burned away, leaving a huge gap. Then the aura of the whole valley’s flowers seemed to be severed; the blurry sensation disappeared, revealing all the caves clearly.

“Here!”

Yang Fujian pointed to the cave where they had heard the conversation yesterday.

“Let’s go check it out…”

Yang Fuqing wasn’t too worried about their safety. In addition to many protective treasures from their family, most Demon Beasts held no animosity towards her, especially the intelligent ones, due to her “Beast Spirit Body” Talent.

The two flew to the edge of the cave, jumping off Big Mao together.

“Big Mao, wait for us around here, shh!”

“Caw~”

Big Mao didn’t make a fuss and flew up to wait for them.

“Concealing Talisman!”

The two of them each attached a talisman that could conceal their Qi and silently entered the deep, dark cave.

After walking for a while… a faint light appeared ahead.

From behind the wall, two pairs of eyes quietly observed the source of the light.

In the crude cave, the intense odor of various demon beasts was extremely pungent, and Yang Fuqing couldn’t help but cover her nose.

Inside, there were various simple living facilities, all crooked and homemade, which appeared to reflect a very low standard of living.

Some demons were asleep, while others were sitting and eating meat.

The reason they were called demons, and not demon beasts… was because these creatures had very peculiar forms, retaining the characteristics of demon beasts while also possessing some human physical traits.

For example, one had the limbs of a human, but the body of a large fat pig.

There was also a fox with the face of a beautiful woman.

These demons of different species appeared to be living together at this time.

Yang Fuqing and Yang Fujian exchanged glances and then continued observing.

Several meat-eating demons were conversing in human language.

“The activity of the Human Clan in Devil Wind Forest has become more frequent these past few months… we will eventually be discovered by them.”

“Once we are discovered, we will all be captured and eaten…”

“It was not easy to escape, and we haven’t enjoyed a few days of freedom yet, such bad luck!”

“Human Cultivators are just so-so, but once they attack, I, Bear Tyrant, will make a move. Rest assured and eat your meat.”

A huge bear demon patted its chest, appearing very confident.

“Even if you can fight, how many Human Cultivators can you defeat? My subordinates told me that Human Cultivators move in groups and must have big plans… Among us, your bear skin is the most valuable; humans will skin you for spirit stones.”

“Hiss~ Are the Human Clan so vicious?” Bear Tyrant shuddered, quickly covering his chest fur.

“Yes! We can’t just sit and wait for death, we need to strike first!”

“Oh? What do you suggest?”

“Seek out the senior members of the Demon Clan who have previously escaped, ask them to shelter us, seeing that we are of the same clan…”

“Great idea! But what if we encounter the Human Clan on the way?”

“Kill them directly! We cannot let them discover our existence! Otherwise, if they capture me and ask how I escaped and where our den is, I definitely won’t be able to withstand it and will reveal everything.”

“If only we could pass the Heavenly Tribulation and completely turn into human form, then we could live in the human cities just like in the legends… We wouldn’t have to live like this.”

“Then I’d shed my bear fur, sell it to Human Cultivators for spirit stones, and start my new life.”

The demons all had pitiful expressions, even contemplating peeling off their own skins to sell for spirit stones, which stunned the two siblings.

The legendary ferocious Demon Clan… is this it?

But from their conversation, Yang Fuqing and Yang Fujian could still pick up some different information.

After eating, the demons, who likely acted during the day, all went out to hunt, and Yang Fuqing and Yang Fujian left the cave ahead of them.

The two rode Big Mao and flew back into the sky.

“We should go back and consult with Father to see what he thinks…” Yang Fuqing felt this matter still needed to be discussed with Yang Shi.

Yang Fujian countered, “Wouldn’t it be better to capture them all and send them to Father? I see that these little demons don’t even have the Foundation Establishment Stage. You and I could set up the Heaven and Earth Net outside, and when they are hunting, we ambush them halfway…”

Yang Fuqing pondered for a moment.

“What if we can’t defeat them?”

“You and I can leave at any time; Father is so busy, we can make decisions on minor matters ourselves.”

“Hmm… okay!”

Yang Fuqing also thought that these demons might be harboring some secret since she had been seeking in the Devil Wind Forest for many years and this was her first encounter with demons; something unusual must be happening.

Where did they come from?
