Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: The Saintess’s Secret Plot

Upon hearing this, your voice suddenly rose, "What do you mean by that!?"

Before the shadow could explain, the cell phone in your pocket rang.

With your left hand, you took out the phone and pressed the speakerphone button, "Mom, what’s up?"

"Nan Nan is missing!"

Your whole body was jolted, it never occurred to you that someone would actually lay hands on Little Qinniang!

"Where did Little Yan go missing? Has anyone searched for her?"

"Today is Saturday. It was arranged that one of Er Ya’s subordinates would bring Nan Nan and Xi Yan to the Eastern Sea. But on the way, Nan Nan just disappeared. Little Xiyan said, Nan Nan vanished into thin air. Your dad has already gone to look for her, and I..."

"Mom, don’t worry for now. I happen to have someone here who knows something. Tell dad to avoid alarming the suspect. Leave this matter to me to solve."

"Okay, alright. Son, don’t think too much about anything else, just remember, Little Yan is your sister."

"I know."

Your mother made it very clear, Little Qinniang was your sister and you had to bring her back safely no matter what.

After hanging up the phone, your figure suddenly flickered, and then you were standing in front of the shadow, delivering a fierce punch to his abdomen!

"Bang!"

The shadow was solidly hit in the abdomen by your fist, but his body didn’t fly away. The force of your punch went straight through him, creating a wide chasm over twenty meters across and bottomless in the rock wall a dozen meters behind him!

"Gah!"

The shadow spat out a mouthful of blood, and to your surprise, his blood was purple!

"You... you’re actually a demon!?"

Unexpected!

Truly unexpected!

The shadow turned out to be part of the Demon Clan, and furthermore, this was your first encounter with a member from the Demon Clan in the real world.

The shadow coughed lightly and said with a weak smile, "Impressive, your punch almost shattered my Demon Core."

"We have no grudges, so why did you abduct my sister?"

As the shadow spat out another mouthful of purple blood, he laughed while bleeding, and his features gradually became visible in front of you.

Just by appearances, he looked like an ordinary young man, not even twenty years old.

"Hehehe... Chairman Li, let me tell you something. You... cough cough, this sister you keep calling out for... she is also from the Demon Clan."

"Oh, and then what."

Huh?

The shadow was taken aback.

Why didn’t things play out like he had anticipated?

He hadn’t expected at all that you would show such indifference. His emotions immediately heated up, "Didn’t you hear what I said? She is from the Demon Clan, she is a Cat Demon!"

"Oh, a cat demon, huh? I certainly didn’t know that. I wonder if it’ll grow a pair of cute cat ears when it takes on its true form."

Thinking about Little Qinniang with cat ears, a smile spontaneously spread across your face.

"You... You actually, you actually don’t reject the Demon Clan!?"

"Why should I reject them?" you replied to the dark shadow.

"Why... Why indeed? Yeah, why reject the Demon Clan? Heh, heh heh heh..."

The shadow suddenly burst into tears, crying so mournfully that it seemed as if you had wronged it in dozens of ways.

"Hey hey, that’s a quick change in tone." You shook the shadow vigorously. "You haven’t told me where my sister is yet."

The shadow fell silent. After a moment of silence, it looked up at you and said word for word, "She’s... She’s not in the Human World anymore."

"What do you mean she’s not in the Human World?"

"We’ve hidden her within the Eternal Night."

"Eternal Night?"

At this word, your whole body shuddered. You had heard this term from the mouth of Jiao at Dragon King Lake, and then your mother had also mentioned it. The Tushan Clan had all been imprisoned within the Eternal Night. But what exactly was this Eternal Night?

Seeing your expression, the shadow finally felt relieved: "So, there are things you don’t know as well."

"Where exactly is the Eternal Night?"

The shadow grinned, stretched out its hand, and pointed to the huge cave you had just sealed. "Look, didn’t you just look down? The other exit of this cave connects to the Eternal Night. It is a place where light never shines; out of the three hundred and sixty-five days a year, three hundred are in endless darkness."

"How am I to know you’re not lying to me?"

"Chairman Li, you may not know this, but we of the Demon Clan also have gods. Although our monster gods have all perished, we share a unified faith. Under the oath of the monster gods, no demon can tell a lie!" Saying this, the shadow raised its right hand, "I, Shadow Demon Zhou Zelin, swear upon the monster gods, every single word I’ve told Li Muyun is the truth, and if there is any deception, may my Demon Core perish, and my Demon Soul be scattered forever!"

"If that’s the case, why didn’t you say so earlier? If you had been clear back then, I definitely wouldn’t have sealed this passage."

Zhou Zelin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "No, this passageway had to be closed. I thought you would call for reinforcements, but I didn’t expect you to close it completely on your own."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Demons, like humans, vary in character and strength. The stronger the demon, the longer they have cultivated, and the more they value their lives, because they are very measured in their actions; but in the Eternal Night, apart from demons, there are even more terrifying demons! These beings have completely lost their humanity, and if they enter the Human World, the Human World would be turned to chaos, which is something we do not wish to see."

With Zhou Zelin’s explanation, you seem to understand and immediately toss him aside, staring at him intently, "Speak, tell me everything you know, and everything you want to tell me."

As a Shadow Demon, Zhou Zelin’s body was naturally elusive, which is why he had been able to disappear right under your watch on multiple occasions.

In fact, when you grabbed Zhou Zelin’s neck earlier, you had already gleaned all information related to him, including his name in the Human World, Little Liu.

To open the seal to the Eternal Night, Zhou Zelin had got involved with the Holy Alliance’s Saintess. As for the Saintess’s purpose, Zhou Zelin was not sure. The only thing he knew was that the Saintess seemed very interested in something inside the Eternal Night.

And she would stop at nothing to get it!

Two of them colluded in secret, always plotting to open the Eternal Night.

Everything Zhou Zelin did was to open the passageway to the Eternal Night, and aside from that, the Saintess was also conspiring something in secret. Zhou Zelin wasn’t interested, so you couldn’t get detailed information.

It’s worth mentioning that in past events, you had already had several direct confrontations with Little Liu, and the Nine Nether Ghost Cat now obediently staying by Xian Qianling’s side was also Zhou Zelin’s doing.

Your Sen Luo Eye could see information that Zhou Zelin had come into contact with, but you couldn’t see into his heart, so you still asked tentatively, "What exactly is the Saintess’s goal? Don’t tell me you really don’t know."
