V2c9: Why aren’t you coming to greet the Young Master yet!
“Damn it, what is this bloody sword energy?”
Chi Yan Demon Lord grew increasingly alarmed as the fight went on.
While entangled with the bloody sword energy unleashed by Lin Mo, she discovered a terrifying fact: the bloody sword energy devoured her demonic energy.
What should have been a battle to suppress Lin Mo instead became increasingly frustrating for her after he unleashed this bloody sword energy.
Lin Mo was now determined to make Chi Yan Demon Lord experience the pain that Xiang’er had endured.
However, in the current situation, he couldn’t completely defeat Chi Yan Demon Lord.
“System, how much Regret value do I have left?”
The System excitedly replied: [Over six hundred and twenty thousand Regret values, Host, spend it freely! We must make the bad woman get the punishment she deserves.]
[According to this System’s calculations, Host can spend three hundred and twenty thousand Regret values to upgrade the Nameless Sword Art by one level.]
[Two hundred thousand Regret values to elevate your realm to Mid Core Formation.]
[Spending Regret values this way will maximize your strength increase, dah!]
The System’s calculations were also part of Lin Mo’s plan.
This System was usually unreliable, but it was dependable in crucial moments.
Hearing Lin Mo’s thoughts, the System happily said: [Right, right? This System would never abandon the Host!]
Lin Mo urged, “Stop dawdling and get to work.”
The moment the System indicated the successful expenditure of Regret values, Lin Mo’s aura began to ascend.
The bloody sword energy also became even more vibrant, its power significantly stronger.
“He broke through temporarily?” Chi Yan Demon Lord’s face was filled with shock.
To break through during a battle, what kind of monster was this kid?
Cultivators chose to go into seclusion to break through precisely because it was difficult to do so without interference from the outside world.
If they encountered any disturbances during a breakthrough, not only would their body and mind suffer severe damage, but their realm might even regress, or they could even perish.
Cultivators who could break through during battle either possessed immense fortune or an unfathomably powerful state of mind.
In her opinion, Lin Mo clearly belonged to the latter.
Subsequently, Chi Yan Demon Lord, already at a disadvantage, began to be unable to cope with the onslaught from Lin Mo, whose strength had once again improved.
“I heard your Demon Race has fast recovery abilities?” Lin Mo’s expression was as cold as frost.
Before Chi Yan Demon Lord could ponder the meaning of his words, she felt her entire bone marrow and meridians being destroyed, followed by waves of agonizing pain.
Chi Yan Demon Lord did not cry out, but sweat began to bead on her forehead.
“You can endure quite a bit,” Lin Mo sneered.
Within mere moments, Chi Yan Demon Lord’s body began to heal rapidly.
“As expected, the recovery is fast!”
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, he once again used demonic energy to crush Chi Yan Demon Lord’s bone marrow and meridians.
“Kid, don’t push it too far,” Chi Yan Demon Lord glared at Lin Mo fiercely, still not crying out.
Lin Mo ignored Chi Yan Demon Lord’s words, repeatedly waiting for her bone marrow and meridians to recover before crushing them again.
Yan Ruyu watched all this indifferently from the side. She naturally knew what Chi Yan Demon Lord had done to her daughter.
Demons were inherently cold-blooded, and Yan Ruyu felt a sense of satisfaction rather than cruelty as Chi Yan Demon Lord was tormented by Lin Mo.
However, her mood was still somewhat complex. The young man she had previously looked down upon was now the only one who could help her.
A cornered dog will jump over the wall, and even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
Chi Yan Demon Lord was truly enraged. She had not transformed into her demonic form to fight because in her current state, she could cultivate better. If she had just meditated for a few more decades, she could have broken through a small realm.
Now, she had given up.
She wanted to kill this Lin Mo.
The Chi Yan Demon Lord, who had been restrained by the bloody sword energy, now transformed into a mass of dark, misty energy, her surrounding demonic energy gradually rising.
Lin Mo frowned upon seeing this. Elder Granny Rong had also been like this before.
After transforming into this dark form, their strength would increase.
Soon, the bloody sword energy was no longer able to suppress her.
Just as Chi Yan Demon Lord broke free from the bloody sword energy’s restraints and charged towards Lin Mo, Lin Mo suddenly said, “Wait a moment!”
The sudden turn of events caught Chi Yan Demon Lord off guard. Lin Mo’s shout made her stop instinctively and ask, “What else do you want to say?”
“Do you recognize this item?” Lin Mo tossed the ring that the old man from the Abyss of the Sea had given him to Chi Yan Demon Lord.
“The Old Ancestor’s ring?” Yan Ruyu exclaimed.
“En?” The moment she received the ring, Chi Yan Demon Lord was stunned for a few seconds before reacting to Yan Ruyu’s words.
“Who gave this to you?” Chi Yan Demon Lord asked excitedly.
“An old man,” Lin Mo replied truthfully.
“You went to the Abyss of the Sea? And could go down there?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
Chi Yan Demon Lord and Yan Ruyu looked at Lin Mo with a trace of doubt.
The matter of the Old Ancestor being sealed in the Abyss of the Sea was only known to a small number of high-ranking demons.
They had also tried to enter the Abyss of the Sea, but as soon as they went a little deeper, their demonic energy would be gradually sealed.
As a result, they had no way of knowing the Old Ancestor’s condition.
They didn’t know if the Old Ancestor could get out, or if he was even still alive.
But as long as his death hadn’t been confirmed, none of them dared to say he was dead.
Yet now, why could this Lin Mo go down to the Abyss of the Sea?
“Could it be because he’s a half-demon?” Yan Ruyu’s guess was interrupted by Chi Yan Demon Lord.
“Impossible, I’ve already verified that those half-demons who appeared in their demonic form also cannot enter the Abyss of the Sea.”
Chi Yan Demon Lord continued, “And those half-demons who appear in human form cannot enter this Demon Realm…”
Therefore, this was where their confusion lay.
Lin Mo, hearing this, thought about how he cultivated both immortal and demonic arts. When he went to the Abyss of the Sea, his demonic energy was sealed, but his spiritual energy was unaffected.
‘Could it be that only I can enter the Abyss of the Sea?’
After all, he was the only one in this world who could cultivate both immortal and demonic arts, so it seemed like a patent of his.
Suddenly, a brilliant light shot out from the ring in Chi Yan Demon Lord’s hand and entered her mind.
The voice of Old Ancestor Chu Tiange echoed in her ears.
“Chi Yan, release Yan Ruyu. The person in front of you is the Demon Realm Young Master I have personally chosen.”
“It’s not long until I break through the barrier. Until I come out, you must obey him.”
Chi Yan Demon Lord’s expression turned extremely ugly after hearing this.
However, the Old Ancestor Chu Tiange’s words were everything.
Previously, when they didn’t know if the Old Ancestor was still alive, the three major demon races naturally competed for status in the Demon Realm.
Now that they received word that the Old Ancestor would return to the Demon Realm soon, she immediately put away any inappropriate thoughts.
Seeing Chi Yan Demon Lord revert from her dark, shadowy form, Lin Mo was puzzled about what was happening.
The next moment, Chi Yan Demon Lord respectfully knelt before Lin Mo: “Greetings, Young Master.”
“Young Master?” Lin Mo was dumbfounded.
Yan Ruyu also reacted quickly. Chi Yan Demon Lord’s attitude indicated that the Old Ancestor had instructed her through the ring that Lin Mo was the Young Master of the Demon Realm.
Although she was surprised, she also bowed to Lin Mo.
Chi Yan Demon Lord explained: “The person you met is our Demon Realm’s Old Ancestor. This is his will.”
Lin Mo was even more confused. He knew that old man’s identity was not simple, but he didn’t expect him to be this unfathomably powerful. What’s more, he wasn’t familiar with this old ancestor. Meeting for the first time and being made the Young Master of the Demon Realm?
Where could such a windfall come from? This situation was truly too bizarre.
“Why does your Old Ancestor want me to be the Young Master of the Demon Realm?” Lin Mo asked.
“The Old Ancestor didn’t explain,” Chi Yan Demon Lord replied.
“Is that so…” Lin Mo said plainly.
Since things had come to this, he wouldn’t dwell on it if he couldn’t figure out the problem for now.
As his Yellow Millet Dream’s ability to predict life and death had not yet activated, it meant that being the Young Master of the Demon Realm would not pose a life threat.
Moreover, the identity of the Young Master of the Demon Realm was quite good and offered many conveniences. Why not accept it?
“May I ask why the Young Master didn’t present this ring to this subordinate earlier?”
Chi Yan Demon Lord was also speechless in her heart. If Lin Mo had produced the ring earlier, would all these troubles have arisen?
Not only did it cause a conflict between them, but it also depleted the demonic energy she had nurtured for almost a century.
Now, if she wanted to break through her realm, she would have to cultivate diligently from scratch again.
“What, I just wanted to torment you for a while. Do you have any objections?” Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.
“I dare not, I dare not. If tormenting this subordinate brings the Young Master joy, then please proceed,” Chi Yan Demon Lord replied earnestly.
“Oh? Then crush your own bones and meridians yourself.” Lin Mo said casually.
The next moment, Chi Yan Demon Lord truly began to use her demonic energy to crush her own bone marrow and meridians.
This, in turn, surprised Lin Mo.
He had only said it casually, but he hadn’t expected Chi Yan Demon Lord to mutilate herself so decisively.
It seemed that the status of the Young Master of the Demon Realm was even higher than he had imagined.
The Chi Yan Clan also possessed absolute loyalty towards the leader of the Demon Realm.
“Alright, release Yan Ruyu first.”
After Yan Ruyu was freed, she looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression. After a moment of hesitation, she called out, “Greetings, Young Master.”
Lin Mo playfully quipped, “With our relationship, you’re calling me Young Master?”
Yan Ruyu’s face stiffened, unsure how to respond.
Lin Mo suddenly approached her and whispered in her ear, “More than two years ago, you were quite impressive, leaving just like that after zipping up your pants.”
Hearing this, Yan Ruyu explained, “I had my reasons…”
Lin Mo interrupted, “I don’t want to hear your explanation. Do what you need to do afterwards.”
Yan Ruyu said, “If the Young Master desires my life, you can take it at any time.”
Lin Mo laughed, “I don’t want your life. I’ve always believed in an eye for an eye. You know what you need to do afterwards, right?”
He had once vowed that if he met Yan Ruyu again, he would make sure she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed.
Yan Ruyu understood Lin Mo’s meaning, and a rare flush appeared on her face: “Yes, Young Master…”
Lin Mo turned his attention back to Chi Yan Demon Lord: “Hand over your soul to me.”
He was doing this to ensure Chi Yan Demon Lord wouldn’t scheme behind his back again.
What if he brought his daughter here and she had ulterior motives?
Chi Yan Demon Lord also understood Lin Mo’s intention and handed over her soul to him without any hesitation.
Lin Mo was very satisfied with this.
As for how he would torment Chi Yan Demon Lord in the future, he would let his daughter decide.
“That Young Master, may I know about Xiang’er…”
“Let’s go, I’ll go with you to pick her up.”
…
At the same time, this period also coincided with Ye Kai’s escape into the Demon Realm.
Ye Kai and Wanwan were in the territory of the Bai Li Clan.
Ye Kai’s face was currently filled with pain. His facial features were so distorted that he looked extremely unsightly.
“Ah, ah, ba.” Ye Kai tried to speak but realized his voice had been taken by Yuehua.
He could only communicate with Wanwan mentally: “Wanwan, what should we do now?”
Wanwan looked at Ye Kai with disdain: “What else can we do? You can’t even defeat that crazy woman.”
Ye Kai asked, “Wanwan, are you not her opponent either?”
Wanwan glared at Ye Kai: “What? You caused trouble, and you still want me to deal with it?”
As long as Yuehua didn’t break through to the Core Formation realm, she could naturally defeat her.
However, she had already actively intervened in many of Ye Kai’s affairs. If she interfered again, she would be dragged down.
Now, she only had to wait for Ye Kai to reach Core Formation, and then she would harvest her rewards.
“Uh…” Ye Kai fell silent. He always felt that Wanwan’s attitude towards him was worsening.
But the loss of a part of his anatomy still caused him severe pain.
Seeing his miserable state, Wanwan said, “I taught you the method to repair your meridians and foundation, and it’s also effective for your body.”
Ye Kai excitedly asked, “Can the thing I’m missing grow back?”
Wanwan glanced at him: “Grow back? You must be dreaming. You’re not a true demon, you don’t have our monstrous recovery abilities.
“I’m talking about taking eyes, ears, and vocal cords from others.”
“Oh, of course, if you don’t mind, that thing can be fitted as well.”
Ye Kai’s expression was grim, but after careful consideration, having something was better than nothing.
In the following time, Ye Kai took the items he needed from several relatively handsome demon cultivators.
However, since the parts were not originally his, his face looked even more peculiar, and his voice became extremely harsh.
Originally, his handsome face alone attracted a large number of women who actively approached him. Now, most people looked at him with disdain.
Meanwhile, Yuehua, for some unknown reason, did not continue to pursue him into the Demon Realm.
Wanwan gave Ye Kai a general introduction to the Demon Realm’s situation, so he wouldn’t run into people he shouldn’t provoke.
“You are not yet suitable to enter the territories of the three great demon races. You can develop in the border regions of various tribes.
“Absorb demonic energy, build your own forces, but you absolutely must not provoke anyone from the three great demon races.
“Otherwise, no one can protect you.”
Ye Kai asked in his hoarse and grating voice, “Wanwan, from what you’re saying, are you leaving me?”
Wanwan said coldly, “Do you expect me to stay with you forever? Do you really think I’m your mother?
“Don’t I have my own affairs to attend to?”
She had just received a telepathic message from her mother.
The Young Master of the Demon Realm had been chosen by the Old Ancestor. She was to return quickly and get acquainted with the Young Master.
She was also puzzled. How could the Old Ancestor choose someone when he couldn’t even be found? However, her mother wouldn’t lie to her. Having followed Ye Kai for this period, she must have missed many significant events in the Demon Realm.
If she could establish a good relationship with the Young Master, perhaps even get close to him, her status would skyrocket.
At that time, would she still have to act according to her aunt’s wishes?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t wait to rush towards the territory of the Chi Yan Clan.
Her mother was Chi Yan Demon Lord.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo, along with Yan Ruyu, went to the Abyss of the Sea to retrieve his beloved daughter.
As soon as Xiang’er saw her father arriving with her mother, she ran into Yan Ruyu’s arms, crying: “Wuwuwu, Mom, Xiang’er misses you so much.”
It had been several months since they last saw each other since that day her mother teleported her away.
Now, nestled in Yan Ruyu’s arms, she enjoyed her mother’s embrace and refused to leave.
Qi Qi stood by, utterly shocked and speechless: “Lin Mo, you really rescued the Saintess?”
“Could it be that your master is fake?” Lin Mo teased.
How could it be fake? Qi Qi had been raised by Yan Ruyu since childhood and would never mistake her master.
She quickly stepped forward and bowed to Yan Ruyu: “Saintess, are you alright?”
Yan Ruyu replied, “I’m fine. Chi Yan didn’t dare to kill me, she just imprisoned me.”
Qi Qi heard this and said, “That’s good.”
Yan Ruyu asked, “What about you two? How did you meet?”
This was the question she was most curious about.
Why was Lin Mo in the Demon Realm, and how did he meet Qi Qi and Xiang’er?
Qi Qi recounted Xiang’er’s act of sneaking away to Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu exclaimed, “So, Xiang’er found Lin Mo and recognized him on her own?”
Lin Mo, standing beside them, was speechless: “I really didn’t expect that the daughter I stumbled upon would actually be my daughter.
“Did you, besides describing my appearance as handsome, tell Xiang’er any other characteristics of mine?”
Yan Ruyu retorted, “Is there something wrong with my description?”
“Uh…” Lin Mo was stumped. There was really nothing wrong with it.
“Xiang’er is indeed your daughter, Young Master. She shares a blood connection with you. The Demon Race’s perception of their own bloodline is incomparable to humans. It’s not strange that she could recognize you, Young Master,” Yan Ruyu explained.
This explanation did make Lin Mo feel more convinced.
After all, when he first met Xiang’er, he also felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
He had been puzzled then, and now he realized it was probably the effect of the bloodline connection.
Qi Qi noticed how Yan Ruyu addressed Lin Mo and exclaimed, “Saintess, why are you calling Lin Mo Young Master?”
Yan Ruyu replied, “This is the Old Ancestor’s will. Lin Mo is now the Young Master of the Demon Realm.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Qi was terrified and hurriedly bowed to Lin Mo: “Greetings, Young Master…”
Recalling her previous attitude towards Lin Mo, she felt a wave of unease.
Magic Cannon, who had been cowering at the side, was stunned into silence when he learned that the Demon Realm Saintess was his Brother Mo’s wife.
Now that he also learned Lin Mo was the Young Master of the Demon Realm, he immediately skidded on his knees to Lin Mo: “Brother Mo, oh no, my Young Master, Magic Cannon’s life is at the Young Master’s disposal.”
He had to cling to this powerful figure. The subordinate of the Demon Realm’s Young Master, doesn’t that sound impressive?
Lin Mo unhesitatingly kicked him: “Don’t be so far away. Call me like before.”
After the family of three was reunited, they returned to Chi Yan Demon Lord’s mansion.
At this moment, Wanwan had already tidied herself up and was waiting for the Young Master’s return.
The moment Lin Mo entered the mansion, her mother, Chi Yan Demon Lord, reminded her: “The Young Master has arrived. Remember to foster a good relationship with him.”
She followed her mother out to greet the Young Master.
She was still wondering what kind of person the Young Master would be. The moment she saw the person entering, she was dumbfounded!
Wasn’t that Lin Mo? How could he be here?
Chi Yan Demon Lord stepped forward and bowed to Lin Mo.
Then, seeing her daughter staring blankly, she quickly reminded her: “Why are you still standing there? Come and pay your respects to the Young Master.”
Wanwan: “…”
