I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 1058 Demon Clan

Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058 Demon Clan

"Saintess? Hmph, I don’t want to deal with her business, and I can’t manage it."

Zhou Zelin sneered coldly, "This is the last time I cooperate with her. Once successful, I won’t have to face that sinister, extremely cruel woman ever again!"

You frowned, having encountered the Saintess last year. At that time, you simply thought of her as a somber and mysterious woman who also carried an instinctive repulsion and a sense of danger.

If it were before, you might not have cared about this person, but through the information relayed by Zhou Zelin, you realized she was a very dangerous woman. If left unchecked, she might become a terrifying entity after some time.

After some thought, you asked Zhou Zelin, "Tell me your opinion of the Saintess."

Zhou Zelin stopped and said coldly, "The first time I met her, I thought she was nothing more than a princess spoiled by her elders. However, the more I interacted with her, the more terrifying I found her to be. Such a woman, with meticulous thoughts, venomous vision, and cruel methods, is sometimes more terrifying than a magical beast. Many times, in front of her, I feel more like a person, while she seems more malevolent than a demon."

"Let’s put her aside for now, tell me, what do I need to do next?"

Then, Zhou Zelin’s body slowly began to float, suspending in mid-air.

He did not state it directly but started to tell a story, "As everyone knows, before Jiang Shang’s Divine Enthronement, all things in the world only followed the Heavenly Dao, acting freely. Of the Three Pure Ones, the Tongtian Sect Leader was especially indiscriminate in his teachings, accepting demons as his disciples. The Tongtian Sect’s doctrine was ’human nature is inherently evil’; all newborn beings must be educated to shed their base instincts in favor of enlightenment and understanding of the Dao."

You stayed silent, just listening. Xian Qianling, who was behind you in the energy circle, didn’t speak either; she stayed very quiet, well aware that staying silent was best at this time so as not to distract you.

Zhou Zelin glanced at you casually and continued, "After the Divine Enthronement, the Heavenly Court came under the rule of The Heavenly Emperor, and the order of the Three Realms gradually stabilized. However, at some unknown time, The Heavenly Emperor suddenly issued a Demon Suppression Order, beginning the purge of all demons in the Human World, many demon gods were killed, their essence and spirits completely obliterated, and the remaining weak demons were all thrown into the Eternal Night."

"Why would he do that?"

"I don’t know."

Zhou Zelin shrugged, smiling, but his smile carried a thick intent of hatred.

"And then?"

"Although most of the Demon Clan were imprisoned within the Eternal Night, some still hid themselves away. They took refuge within human clans, who helped cover up their Demon Energy and provided a place for them to stay, while the demons helped humans avoid disasters and ensure the continued existence of their families, supporting each other."

Hearing this, you naturally thought of Su Su and Xiao Mei Yu.

According to Zhou Zelin, Xiao Mei Yu must have made a pact with the Xiao Family, but if she was able to stay in the Human World, why did she suddenly disappear?

You tried to keep your heart calm and asked Zhou Zelin, "Is your goal to release all the demons?"

"No, I’m not foolish to that extent," Zhou Zelin sneered coldly, pointing upwards with his hand, "If I were to release all the demons, the Human World would definitely fall into chaos, and the Heavenly Court would not sit idly by. By then, the already weakened Demon Clan would be no match for their purging. Doing so is like sending the demons to the decapitation platform."

"So?"

"Originally, I just wanted you to open a passage to the Eternal Night, which would only allow the Demon Clan to enter and exit, while magical beasts would not be able to pass through. I thought that with your strength, it shouldn’t be a problem."

Zhou Zelin continued, "But after witnessing your true strength, I changed my mind. I hope that while taking the opportunity to search for the Cat Demon, you could use your Sen Luo Eye to find the Demon Emperor in the Eternal Night."

"The Demon Emperor?"

"Every thousand years, the Demon Clan produces a Demon Emperor, and since Empress Nüwa’s Ascension, each Demon Emperor has been personally designated by her. After the Divine Enthronement, the order of the Three Realms became stable. Empress Nüwa closed herself off in retreat, and the power of the Demon Clan was gradually encroached upon by the God Race, either becoming their gatekeepers, mounts, or household servants!"

At this point, Zhou Zelin clenched his fists so tight his knuckles were white; his fingernails even pierced his flesh, releasing drops of purplish blood.

"The last Demon Emperor, fearing that the Demon Clan would be eternally enslaved by the God Race, went to negotiate with The Heavenly Emperor in person, ending up ambushed, her Demon Core destroyed, and she was sealed in a deep corner of the Eternal Night."

You scowled, "So you’re saying that even you can’t find her in the Eternal Night?"

"Yes, the Eternal Night is a very special world. The Demon Clan has been trapped there for over a thousand years and still many places remain unexplored."

"Why, are they unwilling?"

"It’s not a matter of willingness, but dare not." Zhou Zelin looked up at you, "There are many extremely dangerous places in the Eternal Night, where the demons are increasingly weakening. A small fraction of the demons have even been bewitched by magical beasts, colluding with each other to bully the weak."

"What happens to the Demon Clan doesn’t concern me. Right now, I only want to know where you’ve kept my sister."

Zhou Zelin gave a sly smile, "Naturally, she’s hidden in a very secret place. Rest assured, she’s very safe. I’d wager that even you, with your Sen Luo Eye, won’t be able to find her."

You remained silent, but the immense aura emanating from your body engulfed Zhou Zelin entirely, ready to crush him easily like an ant with just a thought!

"So, you want me to find the Demon Emperor in return."

"Yes," Zhou Zelin seemed determined, "Based on my observation of you during this time, I know you’re a person who greatly values relationships. I was worried you would have an aversion to the Demon Clan, but now it seems I was overly concerned."

Looking at Zhou Zelin, you suddenly said something that many demons had long anticipated yet dared not consider, "If the Demon Emperor dared to approach the Heavenly Court to trouble The Heavenly Emperor, negotiate terms with him, that means she herself has absolute strength. If even you can leave the Eternal Night, then it shouldn’t be difficult for her. Have you not considered..."

"Impossible! She won’t die! She’s the Demon Emperor! The strongest existence in our Demon Clan, and our only hope!"

You shrugged, "Since you’ve made things so clear, I have a suggestion."

"Oh? Please tell me."

"You can release my sister right now, and then we’ll meet again at the old Mo family house on no. 1214, Xiafei Road, where you can explain the Eternal Night in detail. Then I’ll go in to search myself. How does that sound?"

Zhou Zelin’s body tensed up, "How do you know about the Mo family’s place?"
