Chapter 313 Yin Shi Cult
The punishment against the nobles ultimately came to nothing, and only those nobles who resisted on the spot were killed as a warning to others.
The underground Colosseum in the Demon King's City was destroyed, and the Colosseums in several other cities were soon cleared out.
This liquidation can be said to have turned several major cities upside down.
Cangcheng made a contribution as he expected, and also told the Demon King his guess that Shi Shi was the Holy Lord.
But the Demon King didn't quite believe it. He was able to let Shi Shi survive because he needed a noble to testify.
Shi Shi, who became disabled and had lost his cultivation, was the easiest to control. The Demon King tampered with Shi Shi's memory, making Shi Shi think that he was injured on the battlefield, and those Mahayana demon cultivators also died at the hands of the cultivator.
Shi Shi thus became a witness to the great battle between humans and demons. If Shi Shi had the ability to be a holy master, his memory would not have been tampered with by him.
If Cangcheng hadn't mentioned Shi Shi, the Demon King would have forgotten about this person.
He was filled with disdain in his heart, but he said, "Shi Shi lost all his cultivation on the battlefield. I saw it with my own eyes. The Holy Lord cannot be him.
But no matter who it is, you need to find him and get rid of him as soon as possible.
He also ordered that all cities, especially those close to the Xuanling Continent, must strictly prevent cultivators from entering.
The overall strength of the demon world has declined significantly since the last war between humans and demons, so now is not a good time to start a war.
The Holy Lord might be a cultivator who hides his identity in our demon clan in order to cause internal strife among our demon clan.
All localities must take strict precautions and report any abnormality immediately.
In addition, the man behind the underground Colosseum died too simply. I suspect he is not dead, but I don’t know whether he has taken over another body or escaped from the Demon King’s City.
All nobles and demon soldiers present in the Colosseum that day must be secretly interrogated to prevent him from sneaking in."
Like Leng Zhuxin, the Demon King suspected that Pavilion Master Qin was not dead.
Cangcheng also received the order quickly. After leaving the Demon King's Palace, he immediately began a large-scale search in the city.
Naturally, the courtyard where Wan Yu and other cultivators were temporarily staying also experienced a round of searches. It was because Patriarch Sang hid them in the space that they were able to escape.
After experiencing the events of the Shi and Qin families, as well as the underground Colosseum, the Holy Lord, who had been hiding in the dark and could seize the throne of the Demon King at any time, was completely exposed to the Demon King.
The demon world is no longer as peaceful as before, and all the nobles are working hard to figure out how to profit for their families.
The Mo family is naturally no exception.
Because Mo Qingshan had already learned part of the truth about the war between humans and demons from Patriarch Sang.
The Mo family is now even more wary of the Demon King. Grandmother Mo is not a fool. Knowing that the Demon King might have used the demon cultivators who rushed to the battlefield at that time to break through, she immediately thought that the Demon King has been openly and secretly concerned about when Grandfather Mo will break through to the Mahayana stage over the years.
He also bestowed some treasures from time to time to help Grandfather Mo break through.
Who knows, maybe he's planning to take over Grandfather Mo's army.
Although seizing the breakthrough of others' cultivation is a shortcut, it has serious drawbacks. I am afraid that the Demon King is no longer able to rely on his own cultivation to achieve a breakthrough.
His daily practice should only allow him to maintain his current level of cultivation.
If he wants to make further progress, he may have to seize the cultivation of a few more Mahayana demon cultivators!
There are no Mahayana cultivators left in the demon world. The Demon King has been concerned about the cultivation of the ancestors of various families in recent years, and he probably wants to use them to make a breakthrough.
Grandmother Mo and the Demon King have some sisterly affection, but it is only some. If Grandmother Mo is asked to choose between the Demon King, who is cruel and brutal, has killed his father and brother, and is most likely to have no feelings for him, and herself, her husband, and her son, she will choose the latter without hesitation!
Moreover, she herself has already reached the late stage of Demon Crossing, and it is unknown when she will break through to the Mahayana stage. She does not believe that the Demon King will spare her life just for that little bit of bloodline!
The reason why Grandmother Mo supported the Demon King back then was simply because it was better for her own brother to sit in that position than for anyone else.
She was able to make the choice that was most beneficial to herself and the Mo family at that time, and she can naturally do so now.
Grandfather Mo and she were not interested in that position, but that didn't mean Father Mo or Mo Qingshan were not interested!
She calmly analyzed the current situation and quickly made up her mind to push Mo's father to the position.
As for the fact that Grandfather Mo was going to break through to the Mahayana stage, she also planned to keep it secret.
……
Time flies, and soon it is New Year again.
At this time, the Mo family had already declined a lot in the eyes of outsiders. The apparent industries had shrunk greatly, and even the small magic crystal mine in the Great Wilderness Mountain had been mined out.
But in secret, the Mo family's assets have grown much larger than before.
As Leng Zhuxin expected, the Black Building Auction House became a place that many nobles flocked to.
The pawnshop and brothel that once belonged to the Shi family have now become the Treasure Pavilion and the Magic Pill Pavilion.
As the man behind the auction house and the Second Pavilion, Jiang Baimo has also become a new upstart in the demon world.
The Demon King had doubts about this, but Jiang Baimo's identity was forged, and only part of it could be found.
For example, he is the apprentice of a certain reclusive old demon.
That hidden old demon was naturally Patriarch Sang.
Patriarch Sang also appeared twice, wearing a black robe and a mask, and his cultivation level was naturally the Mahayana stage.
The Demon King even suspected that Patriarch Sang was the Holy Lord, and when Patriarch Sang first appeared with the cultivation level of the Mahayana stage, he came to capture him personally.
But Patriarch Sang's cultivation is higher than his. Although with the help of the demon generals and demon soldiers, he may be able to capture Patriarch Sang, he will definitely be seriously injured!
Since the underground Colosseum was destroyed, a Yinshi Cult emerged.
The leader of the Yinshi Cult is the Holy Lord.
Over the past year, they have been very arrogant and quickly occupied many surrounding towns, starting from Xuehe Town.
The Qin family, which had intended to rebel, was among them.
If the Demon King is seriously injured at this time, it will give the Yinshi Cult an opportunity to take advantage!
Even if he wanted to seize Patriarch Sang's cultivation for his own use, he could only give up the idea temporarily.
With the emergence of the Yinshi Sect, the demon world was in complete chaos.
On the surface, the Mo family naturally stood on the side of the Demon King, contributing both money and manpower, and would say they were doing their best to anyone they looked at.
In fact, he has secretly developed his own power on the Great Wilderness Mountain.
The Great Wilderness Mountain was jointly determined by Leng Zhuxin and Mo Qingshan. The Great Wilderness Mountain is sparsely populated, and almost no one would go there except for the mining demon slaves and guards.
It is also the mountain range farthest from Xuehe Town. The mountain is covered with dense vegetation and has many mines. It can not only provide a place for their people to hide, but also allow them to practice directly with the help of magic crystals, which is a win-win situation.
The Demon King is already overwhelmed by the Yinshi Cult's continuous expansion into the Demon King's City, and he won't pay much attention to the demon slaves in the Great Wilderness Mountain who, in his eyes, cannot cause any trouble.
