Wan Liu Chuan was a bit confused, but seeing Wan Lei's serious expression, he stopped attacking and asked,
"What is demonic energy?"
On the other side, Fang Xiao Yu was bullying Liu Yu Xin.
Yes, bullying, to be exact.
Fang Xiao Yu pushed the power of Calling Wind to its limit. Liu Yu Xin could only desperately hold onto her long saber, bending her waist to resist. However, unless the caster was interrupted or the great dragon was broken, one would continue to be suppressed and consumed by this divine ability.
Liu Yu Xin lacked the strength to interrupt Fang Xiao Yu and could only resist with all her might.
The flames on her body had all been extinguished, and even her armor had disintegrated into black mist, falling off piece by piece, revealing her graceful figure clad in a pink dress.
Fang Xiao Yu retracted her armor and dual swords, walking behind Liu Yu Xin with great interest. Seeing her posture, a sly smile played on her lips. Then, she raised her wicked demonic claw behind Liu Yu Xin and,
*Smack!*
"Ah!!!"
"Call me big sister."
"You wish!"
*Smack!*
"You scoundrel, you dare bully me, I'm not done with you."
"Call me sister-in-law."
"Get lost, whose sister-in-law are you? Shameless. My brother is already dead. If he weren't dead..."
"You're not my sister-in-law, you're my sister-in-law's sister-in-law, understand?"
*Smack!*
"Fang Xiao Yu, you absolute hooligan!!!"
Liu Yu Xin roared at the sky, but she dared not release her grip on the saber. Fang Xiao Yu's attacks showed no sign of weakening, and the annihilating, silent hurricane continued to erode her.
"Surrender quickly."
"Im...possible!"
Fang Xiao Yu was about to continue teasing Liu Yu Xin when she suddenly heard Wan Lei let out an angry roar. She frowned slightly and looked at Liu Yu Xin, her gaze filled with a hint of surprise.
Then, she also cast the Blood Demon Technique, directly extracting energy from Liu Yu Xin's body.
After a period of high-intensity combat, coupled with the consumption of Calling Wind, Liu Yu Xin had very little energy left. Fang Xiao Yu's full-force suction immediately drained all the energy from her body.
Without energy, Liu Yu Xin could no longer resist the hurricane. Her hands loosened their grip on the saber, and she was blown away by the gale.
Fang Xiao Yu grabbed her sleeve, simultaneously retracting Calling Wind. She casually tossed Liu Yu Xin to the ground and began to examine the black mist.
"It truly is demonic energy."
Fang Xiao Yu's expression also turned solemn.
"You scoundrel, you dare bully me."
Liu Yu Xin, enraged, went to punch Fang Xiao Yu, but at this moment, she was no match for her opponent.
Fang Xiao Yu casually picked up Liu Yu Xin and threw her directly into Wan Liu Chuan's arms.
"You're talking about the demonic energy of the Demon Race?"
Wan Liu Chuan held back Liu Yu Xin, who was trying to continue fighting Fang Xiao Yu, and looked at Wan Lei with a frown.
"Yes, perhaps you don't understand. After all, you were far away when the Demon Race invaded and couldn't observe closely. Bellows Novel.
But we fought the Demon Race face-to-face. This is the aura of demonic energy, though it appears very thin and not entirely authentic compared to the pure demonic energy of the Demon Race."
Wan Lei then looked at Liu Yu Xin,
"Where did you get this divine ability from?"
"None of your business?"
"This matter concerns the Demon Race, and the Demon Race is the enemy of the entire righteous plane. Of course, we need to clarify it."
"The Demon Race… you're trying to scare me. This was given to me by our clan leader. It's a newly created divine ability, and only a few of us direct descendants can cultivate it."
"The Liu family..."
A playful, cold smile appeared on Wan Lei's lips. Things were starting to get interesting.
"Don't frame us..."
"Alright, this matter ends here. I won't speak carelessly without evidence, but you must also keep it a secret. If your clan leader finds out that you already know this is demonic energy, think about the consequences yourself.
Liu Yu Xin, be careful. This demonic energy might harm you."
Wan Lei gave Liu Yu Xin and Wan Liu Chuan a meaningful glance,
"You both stay vigilant. If you encounter any more divine abilities with this black aura, contact me as soon as possible.
For the sake of the Thunder Wind Realm."
With that said, Wan Lei pulled Fang Xiao Yu and flew directly into the distance.
After six years, a clue about the Demon Race had reappeared. Wan Lei had no mood to play with them any longer. Moreover, judging by the situation, Wan Liu Chuan and Liu Yu Xin probably didn't know much. The more he said, the worse it would be for them.
Wan Lei's mind was filled with thoughts. He pondered matters related to the Demon Race, pulling Fang Xiao Yu along as they flew aimlessly.
Finally, Fang Xiao Yu couldn't stand it anymore and tugged him to sit on a mountain peak.
"Here, there's a big city in the distance, brightly lit. It's perfect for you to admire the scenery while you think."
"Okay."
"What are you thinking about? You look so preoccupied."
"I... I'm a little scared."
"Scared? Are you afraid of the Demon Race?"
"No, no."
Wan Lei shook his head,
"Do you know? In the illusion of the Thunder Star Sea, on Sui Xiao Hang's wedding day, everyone turned into ghosts. They told me the Demon Race had invaded, and I failed to protect the Thunder Wind Realm, causing them all to die.
They desperately tried to kill me, so I ran away, and then you saved me.
In the end, you also wanted to kill me."
"Don't think about it too much. I will never betray you in this lifetime."
"No, it's not that.
Now, the clue about the Demon Race has reappeared. I'm not sure where the Liu clan leader got the demonic energy to modify his divine abilities. Perhaps he only extracted a trace of power from that sealed demon to research it.
But the timing is too coincidental. Sui Xiao Hang's wedding is approaching, and the clue about the Demon Race has appeared.
I'm afraid... I'm afraid the Wan family will become a ruin, just like in the illusion.
Do you know? When the Yin Yang Sect destroyed those few families, I was thinking that if the Six Great Families attacked the Wan family, the Wan family would likely have no exception and would become the same family that was destroyed.
Since then, I've been considering what the Wan family should do if that day comes, what fallback options are there?"
"So... have you thought of a solution?"
"No. Whether facing the Six Great Families or the Demon Race, with the Wan family's meager strength, they are simply unable to resist.
My combat power is currently limited. Even if I advance further and can directly contend with Tribulation Crossing experts, what's the point? The enemy numbers are too vast, and the Wan family is too weak.
My only specialty, formations, cannot withstand the enemy's bombardment. I don't think I'm useless, I just think... I'm still too weak right now."
"Don't overthink it. When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a path. At worst, I'll take your family to my home."
"That's impossible. Enduring the pressure of the other five great families to shelter the Wan family would only harm your family. Moreover...
I'd be grateful if the Fang family didn't attack the Wan family."
"I can't do anything either. Don't think about it. Even if you rack your brains, your strength is still only this much. Just honestly build the teleportation arrays for the Yin Yang Sect and the Kui Lian Sect, and then go to Shui Xian..."
"Yes! Teleportation arrays!"
Wan Lei suddenly stood up, his eyes shining brightly.
