Chapter 791: Chapter 788: Reincarnation of Demon Soul Chapter 791: Chapter 788: Reincarnation of Demon Soul A moment later, a white light shot out from within Red Valley City, streaking towards the east like a meteor. In an instant, it disappeared into the distant horizon.

Shen Luo sat cross-legged atop the white flying boat, his eyes closed as he tried to sense the condition within his body.

No matter how he tried to investigate, he couldn't find the reason why his lifespan wouldn't increase.

Chan'er sat cross-legged at the stern of the boat. With a wave of his hand, a flash of gold illuminated the area, revealing the corpse of Zhan Guo.

He touched the center of Zhan Guo's brow with his finger. There was a glimmer of golden light at his fingertips. Long after, he withdrew his hand.

“Master Golden Cicada, have you discovered anything?” Bai Xiaotian walked over and asked.

Feeling the fluctuation of mana, Shen Luo also awoke from his meditation and looked over.

“I haven't found anything just yet. However, judging from this corpse and the previous battle, this Zhan Guo is by no means a common demonic cultivator.” Chan'er spoke slowly.

“Why does Master Chan'er think so? Is there something wrong with this body? Is it because it can't be destroyed by fire?” Shen Luo walked over and asked.

“That's just one of the reasons. I examined Zhan Guo's body in detail and feels he bears a striking resemblance to me.” Chan'er nodded and replied.

“Resembles you?” Bai Xiaotian stood there speechless.

“You mean?” Shen Luo's eyes flashed.

“Zhan Guo resembles the reincarnation of a certain individual, not just an ordinary member of the human race who has been corrupted by Demonic Qi.” Chan'er spoke slowly.

“You mean he is a reincarnation of the Demon Clan?” Bai Xiaotian's complexion changed slightly.

Shen Luo didn't speak, but his countenance changed continuously, appearing enormously unsettled.

He had been suspecting Zhan Guo's identity before. Now, it seemed to be true. Zhan Guo was indeed one of the five Demon Soul Reincarnations.

Now, due to a fluke, he had eliminated one of Chiyou's reincarnations in this world. He wondered what impact this would have on the current or future world?

“Perhaps so, but I am still not very knowledgeable. It would be better to hand this corpse over to Master Yuan and Duke Cheng for further examination.” Chan'er softly chanted a Buddhist mantra.

Bai Xiaotian and Shen Luo also slowly nodded.

Shen Luo also checked the body of Zhan Guo and then quickly returned to his original position and sat down.

Despite the trials and tribulations of this journey to the Western Regions, the fact that he managed to eliminate a reincarnation of a demon soul was still a significant gain. If he could find and eliminate the other four demon souls, perhaps he might even be able to prevent disaster of demons.

During this dream journey, he had also obtained clues about another demon soul.

Shen Luo lowered his gaze to look at his wrist, and after a moment, he closed his eyes again.

The white flying boat journeyed through the clouds and moonlight, quickly returning to the border of the Great Tang, and re-entered Chang'an City.

Both Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Yaojin attached great importance to Chan'er's Western journey. Upon hearing of their return, they immediately called for a meeting with them in the Great Hall of the Duke's Palace.

Elder Zhe Shi had been waiting in Chang'an City and hurriedly joined them upon receiving the news.

“… That's roughly what happened.” Bai Xiaotian carefully explained their journey and experiences to the three of them.

“So, the Demon Clan has begun to breach the seal. I've heard about this Master Lin Da before, but it's surprising to learn that he's actually of the demonic path.” Cheng Yaojin sighed.

“This is the corpse of Zhan Guo. We brought it back with us. With their deep cultivation levels, Master and Duke Cheng should be able to see something.” Chan'er waved his hand, and Zhan Guo's corpse appeared on the ground in front of them.

Yuan Tiangang looked at Zhan Guo's corpse and frowned. He flicked his whisk, and it extended with the wind, wrapping around Zhan Guo's body as swiftly as a white ribbon.

“After discussing everything and delivering the corpse, there are still some things that the little monk needs to take care of, so I must take my leave first.” Chan'er gave a bow to the two of them, suddenly asking to excuse himself.

“Please, Master Golden Cicada, feel free.” Cheng Yaojin seemed slightly surprised but nodded in agreement.

Chan'er and Elder Zhe Shi left. Their figures soon disappeared from view.

Shen Luo watched Chan'er's retreating figure. After recovering some of the memories of Golden Cicada, he felt that Chan'er had changed. He didn't talk much with them on the way. What was he going to do with such an abrupt departure?

Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Yaojin stared intensely at Zhan Guo's corpse, their expressions quickly turned serious.

“This… Master Yuan, could this be?” Cheng Yaojin turned to Yuan Tiangang.

“Yes, this person is indeed one of the reincarnations of the Demon Clan. If he hadn't revealed his true form himself, even I wouldn't have been able to see through his real identity.” Yuan Tiangang manipulated his fingers and sighed.

“If even Master Yuan can't see through it, doesn't it mean that anyone around us could potentially be a reincarnation of the Demon Clan?” Although Bai Xiaotian already knew on the road that Zhan Guo might be a reincarnation of the Demon Clan, he was still taken aback by Yuan Tiangang's words.

“Well, not really. This reincarnation technique costs a lot to deceive the Underworld. Therefore, the number of beings that can reincarnate certainly isn't large. According to my estimate, there shouldn't be more than ten.” Yuan Tiangang said.

Bai Xiaotian sighed in relief at these words.

“However, since the Demon Clan has mastered this reincarnation technique, they must have already used it. We need to find a way to seek out those reincarnated beings immediately, or else it will pose a significant risk in the future.” Cheng Yaojin said.

“Duke Cheng speaks wisely.” Yuan Tiangang slowly agreed.

“Master Yuan, Duke Cheng, I have something to report to both of you. Before the ghost disturbance in Chang'an, I met an old fortune-teller in Chang'an City. He told me something related to the reincarnation of the Demon Clan, although I don't know how much of it is true.” Shen Luo took a step forward, hesitated slightly and spoke.

“Oh? What did the man say? Tell us quickly!” Cheng Yaojin immediately responded.

Shen Luo repeated the story of Chiyou's split soul reincarnating. However, he changed the source of his information to the fortune teller.

Despite how unbelievable Shen Luo's information sounded, the expressions of Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Yaojin changed considerably upon hearing it.

A common reincarnation of the Demon Clan was already shocking enough to them. And now, they had to deal with the reincarnation of Chiyou's split soul.

“What did the fortune teller look like?” Cheng Yaojin followed up.

“He wasn't very tall and was dressed in an old Taoist robe. He had a long, three-section beard, and his facial features were unusual.” Shen Luo described an arbitrary appearance.

“Changing appearances is easy, so asking that doesn't mean much. What else did he say?” Yuan Tiangang asked, looking sharper than ever before.

“He also said that he had found the traces of two of the reincarnated demon souls. One of them is in Chang'an, a woman with a plum blossom mark on her wrist.” Shen Luo, seemingly reluctant to meet with Yuan Tiangang's gaze, lowered his head and continued.

“So the woman with the plum blossom mark you asked me to find earlier was due to this reason.” Cheng Yaojin suddenly realized.

“Yes, I was skeptical at first, but considering the significance of this matter to all the people of the world, it was better to believe it than not. That's why I bothered Duke Cheng to help keep an eye out.” Shen Luo responded.

“This is a significant matter. Shen has done nothing wrong. I will later instruct the people in the palace to help search for her. And the other demon soul?” Yuan Tiangang asked.

“According to him, the other one is in the Western Regions, a crazy monk.” Shen Luo continued.

“A crazy monk? But wasn't Zhan Guo a manic monk?” Bai Xiaotian's face changed, he blurted out.
