Chapter 585 - 584: Fallen into the Demon Realm

Chapter 585: Chapter 584: Fallen into the Demon Realm

"Mr. Ye, let us enter together," Mo Shenchuan said, knowing he was at fault.

"Old Ancestor, are you entering the Demon Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the Mo family Guard General stationed at the entrance of the Demon Realm couldn’t help but be astonished.

"Is there a problem?" Mo Shenchuan asked.

The Guard General looked troubled and spoke in a low voice, "Recently, the stability of the Demon Realm has been compromised. If the Old Ancestor enters, it might cause the entrance to collapse."

"What?" Mo Shenchuan’s eyebrows twisted.

This was something he had not anticipated.

However, the instability of the Demon Realm had been known for more than just a day or two, and as the patriarch of the Mo family, he was aware of this issue.

But he hadn’t expected it to be particularly unstable right now. Did that mean he couldn’t enter?

Mo Shenchuan gritted his teeth, "Then send a few who have just entered the Saint Realm to go with Mr. Ye."

"There’s no need."

Just as Mo Shenchuan finished speaking, Ye Xuan rejected the offer.

"Mr. Ye!" Mo Shenchuan grew anxious.

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, "It’s just the Demon Realm. I can go alone; I was planning to practice against these fellows anyway and will take the opportunity to bring back little Meng Chan."

"You need not worry too much. Meng Chan is no ordinary person. She won’t die."

"I hope so," Mo Shenchuan said with a bitter smile. "If something happens to her, it would be the entire Mo family’s fault."

Ye Xuan showed no intention of explaining further and said softly, "You needn’t wait here any longer. Even if I find her, I’ll be staying inside for a while."

Meng Chan’s background was well-known to him; death was unlikely. It was probably some mishap that had occurred in the Demon Realm.

Since he was planning to practice in the Demon Realm anyway, he might as well take care of this as well.

"Then I leave it to you, Mr. Ye," Mo Shenchuan said respectfully.

Ye Xuan didn’t speak, but stepped forward and entered the Demon Realm entrance.

Whoosh——

In a moment, as if passing through a barrier, he stepped into another world.

A pungent, foul wind hit him directly, causing Ye Xuan’s robe to flutter loudly.

Looking up, he saw an endless expanse of black land, with rolling hills.

The sky was slightly dim, dark clouds swirling about.

Nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

The area was clear, without any sign of the Demon Clan.

This was normal.

After all, this was the Mo family’s entrance. If the Demon Clan were present here, the Mo family’s many years of inheritance would have been for naught.

The Mo family had guarded this Demon Realm entrance for millions of years. Naturally, it was fortified with an Array and a barrier, ensuring the safety of the area to prevent any surprise attacks from the Demon Clan when the Mo family members entered.

With this location as the center, within a thousand li radius, all was safe.

This area was also guarded by the Mo family’s guards.

Their cultivation levels were at the Heavenly Human Realm.

Perhaps due to the instability of the Demon Realm, the Mo family had not dared to deploy very powerful forces; after all, they only needed to guard the Array and act as sentinels.

When the Demon Realm was unstable, although the Mo family’s guards could not deploy very powerful forces, the Demon Clan was also unable to enter the area.

It was like maintaining a balance.

Ye Xuan, with his hands in his pockets, glanced around. He did not seek out the Mo family guards but instead used the Emperor Soul to search for traces of little Meng Chan.

Although he had primarily entered the Demon Realm for training,

he first needed to ascertain the situation with Meng Chan.

This fellow, even if she hadn’t died here, must have encountered some sort of trouble; otherwise, she would not have failed to exit after three days.

Ye Xuan knew very well the capabilities of Meng Chan; even a Saint Realm Great Power would struggle to defeat her.

Could she really be taken down by the demons of this trivial Demon Realm?

After scanning the area, Ye Xuan determined the direction, lightly tapped his toes, and his whole body soared into the air, rising to a kilometer high for Sky-controlling Flight.

"Hmm?"

"Is that Mr. Ye?"

The Mo family guards stationed here also noticed Ye Xuan’s presence.

"Mr. Ye, this is a Jade Token for this area. If you get lost, break the Jade Token and you will receive guidance," one of the guards said as he tossed a Jade Token into the air.

"Thanks!"

Ye Xuan caught the Jade Token and, although he didn’t need it, he still expressed his gratitude.

Zoom——

The next moment, Ye Xuan shot out.

The Mo family guards at the location watched Ye Xuan leave.

"So that’s Mr. Ye? He’s not quite what I imagined, looks so young."

Someone murmured.

"Yes, and his cultivation, why is it only at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm?" someone beside chimed in.

"What are you two talking about?" a majestic Mo family guard huffed coldly.

The duo discussing Ye Xuan wasn’t frightened and grinned, "Brother Yong, what abilities does Mr. Ye have to make even our Mo family’s ancestor treat you with such respect?"

The imposing guard named Mo Yong, hearing his brothers’ question, looked in the direction where Ye Xuan had left and shook his head slightly, "I do not know of this matter either, but the ancestor has instructed that disrespect towards Mr. Ye is punishable by death."

"What!?"

Hearing this, the two Mo family guards’ expressions changed instantly.

Disrespect is punishable by death?

This could be said to be utterly unreasonable.

Yet, the profound implication behind it was clear to both of them.

It signified that the ancestor valued this matter greatly.

"So, no matter what, as long as he is Mr. Ye, we must respect him, and don’t think too much about anything else, understand?" Mo Yong also feared that his two brothers would act rashly and offend Mr. Ye, thus he underscored this point at this moment.

"Understood, Brother Yong."

Both replied respectfully.

Mo Yong picked up a jade token in his hand, saying, "Attention, brothers at the east gate, Mr. Ye has headed towards the east gate, let him pass through."

A thousand li to the east from here, a high wall was erected, forged from sturdy black divine stones.

The wall was fully five hundred meters high.

This wall was constructed as a circle with the Demon Realm entrance at its center, spanning a thousand li to form a defensive perimeter.

There were also numerous arrays set up to ensure the area would not fall.

This was also an experience amassed by the Mo family over millions of years.

This experience was distilled from the blood of the Mo family’s forebears.

How many people had died in this process, no one knew.

Ye Xuan flew eastwardly across the sky.

The guards stationed at the east gate of the Mo family had received Mo Yong’s orders in advance, and when Ye Xuan arrived, they opened the Barrier Gate to let Ye Xuan pass through.

"Mr. Ye, please proceed slowly."

The Mo family guard said respectfully.

Ye Xuan instantly passed through the Barrier Gate.

As he crossed the Barrier Gate, there was a significant change in the atmosphere of heaven and earth.

The air around became harsh, the ground exuded a heavy yin energy, and the sky was filled with poisonous haze that also mixed with acidic corrosive forces.

This was the true Demon Realm.

Ordinary cultivators could not survive here.

Every time people from the Mo family came to wage war in the Demon Realm, they would prepare thoroughly before marching, or else once trapped in the Demon Realm, it would be very difficult to escape.

The son and daughter-in-law of Yun Chui from years ago, who were also Qing Lian’s parents, died in the Demon Realm this way.

Of course, this was also hugely related to Yun Chui being framed.

No one knows how vast the Demon Realm is.

Even though the Mo family has been overseeing this Demon Realm for millions of years, they have not been able to fully understand it.

"It seems there is the presence of a Demon Lord in this part of the Demon Realm..."

Ye Xuan hurried along, pondering in his heart.

He had been to many types of Demon Realms and knew many of the fundamental rules of the Demon Realm.

Because of this, he could deduce the strongest being within the Demon Realm based on its geography.

In this part of the Demon Realm, there appeared to be a Demon Lord.

As for what level of being a Demon Lord is...

It’s simple.

They exceed the Saint Realm.

What does that imply? It means the Mo family probably couldn’t withstand a single slap from him.

Unless that senior Qian Kun ancestor made an appearance.

"This little Meng Chan, he wouldn’t have provoked the Demon Lord, would he?"

Ye Xuan muttered jokingly to himself.

Of course, it wasn’t outside the realm of possibility.

But if it were true that he had attracted the attention of a Demon Lord, that would be somewhat problematic to handle.

If he hadn’t received the old ghost’s cane, Ye Xuan wouldn’t hesitate to retreat first in respect.

With the old ghost’s cane, however, there was no need to fear.

After all, the items from this guy were some of the most rare treasures in the world.

"Ah, finally encountered the Demon Clan, huh."

Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks, grinned, his deep black eyes twinkling.

Whoosh!

(ps: Cough, cough, the old ghost seems to have come back, will continue tomorrow)
