“Otherworldly demons?!”
Wuzhuo City suddenly trembled, his eyes brightened, and he stared intently at Chu Yang, “This matter, is it really related to otherworldly demons? Did the otherworldly demons harm my boss?”
By the end, his face had already twisted in anguish.
“Not quite,” Chu Yang replied, “I only ask you, how much do you know about the otherworldly demons?”
Wuzhuo City fell silent for a moment and said, “I don’t know much. I was introduced to the demon techniques by my ancestor last time he came, and he also mentioned the dangers of those techniques; over ten thousand years ago, I once killed a minion who had obtained the inheritance of the heavenly demons... That’s how I learned a bit, but regarding the essence of otherworldly demons, I really don’t know much; one could say I know nothing.”
Chu Yang nodded, “This matter starts from the otherworldly demons.”
Wuzhuo City nodded and listened attentively.
He knew that even if he was anxious, he had to listen to Chu Yang’s detailed explanation, as Chu Yang would never get straight to the point.
Even if Chu Yang wanted to speak directly, Wuzhuo City would still worry if he could bear such bluntness! After all, this involved his lifelong goals, the people he cared about the most, and the most painful matters...
So even if the final result was stated directly, he still needed to get to the bottom of it, needing to clarify everything.
Right now, his only feeling was a racing heartbeat and quickened breath.
For over thirty thousand years, it was his first time being so close to the truth!
However, Wuzhuo City felt that he was already unable to bear this prelude. Although he had just spoken beautifully to Chu Yang, he knew it was just to comfort Chu Yang and himself.
In reality... he could not comfort himself.
“Senior Wu, above our Nine Heavens, there is a Nine Heavens Pavilion; and this is clearly not a secret to you,” Chu Yang said softly, “What I want to tell you is a secret that spans millions of years.”
Wuzhuo City swallowed hard, “I know.”
Chu Yang squatted down, reached out, and with a flick of his hand, a flurry of snow flew up, forming a long strip in his hand. He drew a circle on the snowy ground and said, “Senior Wu, this circle, let’s assume it is the Nine Heavens Pavilion!”
Wuzhuo City frowned, looking at the circle on the ground, and squatted down.
“Within this circle, there are heroes and spirits, and abundant resources. Therefore, there are many who covet it. The most powerful group among them is the otherworldly demons.”
Chu Yang used the snow stick in his hand to draw a larger circle, enclosing the previous small circle, then marked a few points inside the larger circle.
Wuzhuo City viewed this with the seriousness of discovering a treasure, staring at the two circles Chu Yang casually drew, his expression grave. It seemed that this child’s doodles had a fatal attraction for him.
“Countless years ago, the habitat of the otherworldly demons suddenly deteriorated, unable to sustain the reproduction and existence of so many heavenly demons. For the sake of survival, they had to expand and find a new living environment.”
“And the Nine Heavens Pavilion is evidently the most ideal place among them.”
Chu Yang said flatly, “Thus, the otherworldly demons launched an attack on the Nine Heavens Pavilion.” He let out a bitter smile and said, “What we are experiencing now, the so-called heavenly demon energy, is merely the remnants of the otherworldly demons, too minuscule to be of concern, being utilized and producing this power.”
“From this, it can be inferred that the true power of the otherworldly demons’ invasion… is something we at this level can never imagine.”
Chu Yang spoke heavily.
“Yes!” Wuzhuo City sighed, lost in thought for a moment, as if envisioning the appearance of the otherworldly demons, finally breaking into a despondent smile. “I understand what you mean.”
“And at that time, there was a hero who guarded the gate of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, leading his six brothers, fighting until they perished!”
