“What? Master, you were invaded by a strange soul?” Mo Li was taken aback, exchanging glances with Chi Yan.
They had been somewhat wary of the Fire Demon Dan Saint because Mo Li had suspected that the cold soul would seize the Fire Demon Dan Saint’s master. But unexpectedly, the master mentioned it directly. Did that mean the master was not seized?
The Soul Demon Venerable seemed not to notice the expressions of the two, saying bitterly, “Yes, that strange soul is terrifying. It directly attempted to invade my mind. Fortunately, I am an Alchemist and possess demonic fire. Furthermore, I am from the Plant Demon Tribe, and the souls of my Plant Demon Tribe are different from ordinary Demon Tribes, making it extremely difficult to seize. Even so, I nearly fell victim to it, but I managed to resist with great difficulty.”
“At that time, that soul was exceptionally terrifying. When it realized it could not seize me, it fled directly. After I regained consciousness, I immediately tried to leave that inheritance space, but I ended up in a valley and encountered the Moon Demon Tribe members. They said that you two had already left. Li’er, why didn’t you wait for me…”
As he said this, a trace of dissatisfaction appeared on the Soul Demon Venerable's face, and then he asked, “By the way, what did you encounter in that secret realm?”
“Master,” Mo Li exchanged a glance with Chi Yan and said, “After I entered that secret realm, I did not follow your orders and did not choose the trial passage but instead chose the inheritance passage. Coincidentally, I passed the inheritance assessment as well and entered a strange space, where I was invaded by a cold power…”
“What?”
The Soul Demon Venerable was immediately shocked, instinctively taking a step back, and then asked, “You were also invaded by that cold soul?”
“Yes,” Mo Li replied bitterly with a smile. “I nearly couldn't hold on at that time. Luckily, I had obtained a top-level inheritance in the Fallen God Demon Domain, which allowed me to persevere. After I escaped the seizure, I immediately returned to the valley, wanting to persuade the Moon Demon Tribe members to leave, but they did not listen to me. I thought you encountered an accident, Master, so I and Chi Yan left first. I’m sorry, Master.”
Mo Li wore a bitter expression.
“It’s okay, I can understand you,” the Soul Demon Venerable shook his head. “No wonder you left first, but actually, it was right for you to leave. Later, I nearly fell.”
“Master, what happened? What about your injuries?”
Mo Li immediately asked.
“After I returned to the valley, the Moon Demon Tribe was engaged in combat with several major forces of the Human Tribe. The Moon Demon Tribe was about to slaughter all the major forces of the Human Tribe, but suddenly, a top expert from the Human Tribe appeared. This was a young man whose strength was extremely terrifying…”
“What? Top expert, young man?” Mo Li and Chi Yan exchanged startled glances.
“What’s wrong?” The Soul Demon Venerable looked at the two in confusion.
“It’s nothing, I’m just surprised that a young man from the Human Tribe could make you feel he is powerful, Master. What happened next?” Mo Li asked.
“Later, when that young man attacked, both I and the Moon Demon Tribe members could hardly resist. That young man was too strong, possessing a powerful inheritance, and even a Venerable artifact. It was my first time seeing such a terrifying talent among the Human Tribe.”
The Soul Demon Venerable had a look of trepidation. “At that time, we could hardly resist and were prepared to leave when, unexpectedly, a mutation occurred in the valley. That cold soul should be an ancient powerhouse in this secret realm. He had already set up traps to devour the power of all of us, especially his arrangements had a strong suppressive effect on our Demon Tribe. The members of the Moon Demon Tribe kept falling, and I was able to hold on until the end due to my identity as an Alchemist.”
