"Are you the black-armored powerhouse who's been making headlines lately?" the demon spirit asked with a smile.
Despite speaking in a gentle tone, the demon spirit exuded an eerie aura.
"It is indeed me," Di Tian replied.
Aside from Di Tian, no one here is wearing black armor.
The demon spirit's face showed surprise, and it let out a loud "Oh," seemingly very curious about Di Tian.
"It seems you've come to find me." The demon reached out and ruffled her hair, revealing the strange patterns on her forehead.
The lines connected to form a strange pattern. Ye Nanxiao had never seen such a pattern in any book before. It was more like a totem than a pattern.
"Join us. My subordinates need a strongman like you," Di Tian said, extending his right hand.
"Hmm~ But I really like freedom. If I refuse, can you leave?" the spirit said with a grin.
His relaxed tone suggested that he didn't take the three beasts behind Di Tian seriously.
Xiong Jun snorted in dissatisfaction, harboring much resentment towards the slippery demon spirit before him.
The Red King lowered its head; it had only come along to observe.
The Demon King looked at the demon spirit with some interest. To be so calm in front of the recently rising Emperor Tian, it must be a formidable opponent.
"No," Di Tian said bluntly.
If the demon spirit does not obey, then he can only continue to implement Ye Nanxiao's plan and beat it into submission.
"The demon spirit's true form and race are unknown. Its cultivation level should be over 200,000 years. It is suspected to be evil and likes to transform into human form. It moves around in a human body, is good at stealth, and is a skilled intelligence gatherer." Ye Nanxiao shook the leaves of the Spirit Blossom Grass and pointed at the demon spirit.
"This person...this beast, hmm, the guy in front of you is your best intelligence chief. Don't be fooled by his carefree and rebellious appearance. In reality, if he acknowledges his master and submits, he will be a loyal and devoted subject."
Ye Nanxiao placed his hands together and recited all the records about demon spirits in his mind.
Among the ten ferocious beasts, the demon spirit is the most mysterious. Even in the records of Shrek Academy, it is only mentioned in two or three sentences, which shows how mysterious it is.
However, according to records, the Demon Spirit, along with the King of Ten Thousand Demons and the Bear King, were known as the three great kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, second only to Emperor Tian in status.
This shows that although the demon spirit's cultivation period was only about 200,000 years, its strength must have been considerable.
They submitted to Emperor Tian and addressed him as their lord.
The demon spirit seemed to be veiled in mystery, and even rolled around a few times, quietly wrapping the veil around its body.
"How strange that the Spirit Blossoming Grass knows so much! I'm always careful not to leave a trace, but I still managed to find out." The demon spirit crossed her arms, her body surging with evil energy.
The evil energy coalesced into two enormous smiling masks, which floated beside the demon spirit.
The two smiling masks, combined with the spirit's own smile, create a chilling feeling.
"Don't make the atmosphere so tense, smile!" The spirit seemed to be immersed in darkness, its body tinged with black.
Di Tian and the other soul beasts might think that the demon spirit was just posing for battle, but Ye Nanxiao didn't think so.
The demon's every move is very much in line with a psychological tactic.
"A smiley face mask. This guy seems to really like human culture and even learned it." Ye Nanxiao felt a hint of joy in his heart.
A ferocious beast that knows the tactics of the human world would be extremely beneficial to the upcoming plan.
Di Tian put Ye Nanxiao down from his shoulder, took two steps forward, slowly moved his fists, and stared at the demon spirit's face, thinking about which angle to start from.
As the leaves fell, the two figures vanished from their spot in an instant.
In the next moment, Di Tian caught sight of the demon spirit, reached out his large hand towards it, and a black orb of light appeared in his palm.
"Exorcise the demon and seal the soul," the demon spirit said calmly.
A wave of blackness surged toward Di Tian in an instant.
Di Tian threw out the ball of light from his palm and retreated quickly.
When the black sphere encountered the black light and shadow, it was instantly enveloped, suspended in mid-air, and then disappeared.
"A seal?" Di Tian's lips curled up. It seemed that the demon spirit was the biggest surprise for him.
During the fight, Ye Nanxiao had retreated several meters away, behind him were three soul beasts sitting.
With his right eye, which was still open, Xiong Jun stared intently at Di Tian's battle.
The Red King lay on the ground, like a lazy old yellow dog.
The Demon King's gaze swept over Ye Nanxiao's body from time to time, his eyes filled with undisguised greed.
Ye Nanxiao stood up, waved the grass leaves and climbed up the middle of the Crimson King's head, found a comfortable spot to lie down, and enjoyed the battle between Di Tian and the demon spirit.
Di Tian was clearly impressed by the talent, and did not use bloodline suppression or other powers, but only relied on the terrifying strength of his body to fight the demon spirit.
He wanted to see the abilities of the demon spirits more clearly, and so did Ye Nanxiao.
As the most mysterious ferocious beast, the more information Ye Nanxiao could obtain, the better. Although he was unsure whether this fragment of his soul could return to his original body or be transmitted back with his memories, it did not affect his ability to prepare a backup plan.
When the second smiling mask was also shattered by Di Tian's punch, the demon spirit gathered her hair with both hands, just like a final boss finishing the warm-up phase and starting the second phase.
"When adversity reaches its extreme, evil follows."
At that moment, all the shadows in the surrounding woods were drawn out by the demon spirit.
The shadows covered a large area of the ground.
Di Tian felt his strength rapidly draining away, and immediately let out a wild laugh, lightly stomping his right foot to crush the dark shadow on the ground.
Hearing Di Tian's maniacal laughter, Ye Nanxiao silently and firmly nailed the label of "Fifth Maniac Laugher" to Di Tian in his heart.
"Strategist, what's your opinion on demons and spirits?"
The somewhat hoarse voice of the Demon King rang out.
Ye Nanxiao turned his head and was startled by two eerie green lights.
"Playing ghost in broad daylight! Can't you pay attention to your appearance when you transform!" Ye Nanxiao said irritably.
The Demon King was suddenly rebuked, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"When I transformed, I adopted the best form that evolved from my original body. Are you not satisfied, strategist? If not, I'll think of a way to change it." The Demon King reached out and touched his face.
"No need, whatever you like." Ye Nanxiao then remembered that the true form of the Demon King was a demonic tree with demonic eyes, the kind of twisted, limb-like ghost tree from those eerie stories.
"Demon spirits have the greatest potential and may become the king second only to Emperor Tian," Ye Nanxiao answered the Demon King's question.
King?
Upon hearing those two words, Xiong Jun excitedly sharpened its claws, always considering itself the king.
The Demon King was also tempted, but its potential was far inferior to that of the Bear King, which made its initial interest subside.
"If only we had Star Spirit Grass, but the Blooming Spirit Grass seems to have a high cultivation level as well." The Demon King stared at Ye Nanxiao with his green eyes.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the Demon King and said, "Stop your little schemes. There's no second Star Spirit Grass here for you to devour and improve, unless you're willing to risk your life and don't want to survive in Star Dou."
This thing actually covets the Spirit Blossom Grass that I'm inhabiting! This is intolerable!
Upon hearing this, the Demon King trembled, his eyes filled with shock.
"Why does this Spirit Blossom Grass know about my past?!" The Demon King immediately suppressed his covetousness for the Spirit Blossom Grass and sat motionless in place.
"This should be my biggest secret! How does this blade of grass know this?!" The Demon King was on pins and needles. Ye Nanxiao's image suddenly became more mysterious than the demon spirit in its mind, mysterious and terrifying.
With a single sentence, he revealed his past and even led Di Tian to search for powerful soul beasts. Could it be that this entire forest is right under the eyes of the Spirit Blossom Grass?!
Ye Nanxiao, who was just trying to scare the Demon King, had no idea that he was already considered by the Demon King to be a more troublesome being than Di Tian and a more mysterious being than the demon spirit.
The battle between Di Tian and the demon spirits is also nearing its end.
The fist, which was growing larger in front of him, suddenly stopped when it was still a little distance from his face.
In a daze, the demon heard a dragon's roar.
"You lost." Di Tian withdrew his fist; there wasn't a single scratch on his body.
The demon spirit breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew its evil aura, and submitted to Di Tian, saying, "From today onwards, you are the boss."
In the core area of the Star Dou, Di Tian left Xiong Jun and other soul beasts there, and took Ye Nanxiao to report to Gu Yuena.
Hearing that the operation went smoothly, Gu Yuena nodded.
"Let's speed up the plan a bit more. Soon, my spirit will also fall into slumber," Gu Yuena said.
As the words fell, five square blocks flew out of the Lake of Life.
The central square is twice the size of the other squares, and it is connected to the other squares by chains.
Gu Yuena gently tapped the five squares, and patterns emanating a mysterious aura immediately appeared on the squares.
"Strategist, this contains a portion of my power, enough to imprison and kill pursuers. Do not use it unless absolutely necessary!" Gu Yuena waved her hand, and the cube-shaped confinement immediately shrank.
Ye Nanxiao's soul fragments were drawn out from the Spirit Blossom Grass.
The cube-shaped imprisonment entered Ye Nanxiao's soul, transforming into a small point of light that appeared on the back of Ye Nanxiao's right hand.
In an instant, the method of using the block imprisonment appeared in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
"You may all leave now, but the strategist will remain for a while," Gu Yuena said.
As Di Tian left, Ye Nanxiao clearly saw the burning envy in Di Tian's eyes.
Gu Yuena sat by the Lake of Life with her back to Ye Nanxiao, looking up at the sky with endless loneliness on her face.
"Strategist, my time is running out; I will soon fall into a deep sleep," Gu Yuena sighed.
"How much longer?" Ye Nanxiao asked, frowning.
Although he can now act alongside Di Tian, without Gu Yuena's control, will Di Tian still obey him?
"There are still about two hundred years left," Gu Yuena sighed.
Her body had fallen into a deep sleep, and this spiritual avatar wouldn't be able to move for much longer.
"Two hundred years? How many bedtime stories do you expect me to hear?" Ye Nanxiao covered his face with his hands, realizing he had wasted his emotions.
For beings in the divine realm, two hundred years in the mortal realm is less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. But for beings in the mortal realm, especially humans, two hundred years is the time it takes for a dynasty to rise and fall.
"Would you like to hear some other bedtime stories? I guarantee they'll be great!" Ye Nanxiao offered with his standard smile.
