No hope for eternal life

Chapter 503 Yi Huan's Conflict

Ever since Yi Qianhuan woke up from his coma, he has checked himself countless times using various methods, but still hasn't found any hidden tricks. However, the more he couldn't find any, the more uneasy he became, because he didn't believe that the Black Demon would let him go without doing anything.

Of course, Yi Qianhuan didn't expect Black Demon to answer his questions truthfully. He wanted to find out even a hint of information from Black Demon's words.

Facing Yi Qianhuan's question, the Black Demon shook his head and smiled: "You also know that the higher the level of a cultivator, the stronger the control over oneself. Moreover, you are a cultivator of the Ninth Realm. If I had the ability to secretly attack you, I would have been invincible in the Nine Realms long ago, and I wouldn't have to travel the world with my clone pitifully."

Yi Qianhuan narrowed his eyes slightly. This was true, but since the words came from the Black Demon's mouth, he would not believe a word of it.

"As for why I didn't kill you, that's easy to understand." The Black Demon continued to answer: "Although I have been helping the demon race, I have not forgotten that I am a human cultivator. If I kill you all, the Nine Realms will become the world of the demon race, and that is not what I want to see."

"Heh." Yi Qianhuan sneered. He was too lazy to comment on the Black Demon. After all, the Black Demon only cared about his own interests.

Afterwards, the Black Demon secretly sent a message to Yi Qianhuan: "Mo Lianyue should have told you my proposal, are you interested?"

The proposal that Black Demon mentioned was naturally to help Yi Qianhuan fight for the position of the Ten Realms and resolve past grudges. Mo Lianyue had already told Yi Qianhuan about this, but it was rejected by Yi Qianhuan at that time.

But now, Yi Qianhuan still has not changed his mind. He said directly: "I don't care what conspiracy you have. Whoever wants to fight for the position of the Tenth Realm can fight for it. I won't put any thought into it anymore."

Not to mention that Yi Qianhuan had never thought about resolving his hatred with the Black Demon, what was more important was that he would never do anything like seeking the skin of a tiger with the Black Demon.

In addition, Yi Qianhuan had been knocked unconscious for a period of time by the Black Demon before, so he had every reason to suspect that the Black Demon had done something to him. This might lead to the fact that even if he finally obtained the Tenth Realm, he would still be constrained by the Black Demon, and the only one who would benefit in the end would be the Black Demon. That was a situation he would rather die than see.

All of the above has caused Yi Qianhuan to completely give up the fight for the position of the Tenth Realm.

Seeing Yi Qianhuan's decisive refusal, the Black Demon sighed: "So, you are planning to hand over the position of the Tenth Realm to You Wuye. You don't think You Wuye is really a good person. The reason why I want to help you is actually mainly because I don't want to see You Wuye become the Tenth Realm. This is a helpless choice of choosing the lesser of two evils. I know You Wuye better than all of you, even You Wushuang. In the words of your righteous way, he is a demon who is very good at hiding himself. Even I have to be wary of him."

"In addition, according to my estimation, if You Wuye reaches the Tenth Realm, the first thing he will do is to do everything he can to kill all the Eighth Realm and Ninth Realm cultivators who are a threat to him in the Nine Realms, so as to avoid ending up like Lin Li in the past, being killed by two Ninth Realm cultivators. And among those whom You Wuye regards as a threat, I must be included, and of course you as well. That's why I don't want to see him reach the Tenth Realm. After all, I don't want to be hunted down by a Tenth Realm cultivator all day long."

Hearing Hei Mo mention You Wuye, Yi Qianhuan couldn't help but fall silent. You Wuye has always been a thorn in his heart, because he has never been sure whether You Wuye was involved in the incident that killed his master Mo Xuansheng.

Before Mo Xuansheng's death, You Wuye was the light of righteousness in that era when demons were rampant. It is no exaggeration to say that Yi Qianhuan has always admired You Wuye since he heard the legend of him at a young age.

This is exactly what Yi Qianhuan is struggling with. If You Wuye didn't kill his master on purpose, then his current suspicion of You Wuye is just disrupting his own position, which will only make his relatives sad and his enemies happy. On the contrary, if his master was really killed by You Wuye, then he would take revenge no matter what, because Mo Xuansheng's kindness to him was as heavy as a mountain and could not be expressed in words. He would repay him even if he died.

Although Yi Qianhuan was conflicted, he was not moved by the Black Demon's words at all, because his principle when facing the Black Demon was: no matter how nice the Black Demon's words were, he would not believe a word of them, and he could not do whatever the Black Demon wanted him to do.

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Ao Yuan was in danger. He was already at a disadvantage facing Dao Ling, and now with Bai Xun joining in, the situation naturally became more critical.

Fortunately, Ji Tianyu arrived in time and helped Ao Yuan share most of the pressure, thus stabilizing the situation.

When Xiao Niansheng learned that Ji Tianyu had arrived, he was relieved, but still worried about the current situation. Even with Ji Tianyu's participation, the current situation was barely evenly matched, and there was no room for manpower to stop the Nine Infants Demon King from transcending the tribulation. Moreover, according to the news he got from Bai Xun, the Nine Infants Demon King was likely to have almost finished transcending the tribulation, and time was running out.

After a slight hesitation, Xiao Niansheng found Mu Changsheng's real body through his clone who stayed in Tianling Sect.

Mu Changsheng had been observing the formation that was protecting the Nine Infants Demon King from the tribulation, and found that the formation had never been broken, so he realized that the progress must be very difficult. Seeing Xiao Niansheng coming to him, Mu Changsheng hurriedly asked, "Master, how is the situation?"

"It's not going smoothly." Xiao Niansheng said bluntly: "The four demon emperors, the emperor of longevity and the two demons, the black demon, have all taken action, and everyone has been held back. I said before that you don't need to worry about this matter anymore, but I was wrong."

"Master wants me to stop the Nine-Infant Demon King from transcending the tribulation." Mu Changsheng immediately heard the hidden meaning in Xiao Niansheng's words.

"Except for Mo Lianyue who stays in the Tianling Realm and You Wushuang who stays in the Tianyou Realm, all other available personnel have been mobilized. And Mo Lianyue and You Wushuang must not be moved, otherwise it will give the Black Demon clone an opportunity to take advantage." Xiao Niansheng explained the current situation, indicating that she really has no extra manpower.

"Okay, I'll go. I happen to have a ninth-grade formation-breaking talisman bestowed by my master. The Nine-Infant Demon King's tribulation protection formation can't stop me." Mu Changsheng agreed without much hesitation. He certainly knew what this meant. Even if he could successfully stop the Nine-Infant Demon King from tribulation, he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed. His clone in white would most likely die there.

However, for Mu Changsheng, this was a "deal" worth it no matter how you calculated it. It was certainly worth it to exchange one of his clones for a Nine Infants Demon King who was about to reach the ninth realm.
