Endless Systems
Chapter 109

5 Devils of destruction. It was a title given by Zhong Kui against the 5 strongest demon generals who served him directly.

Liu Shan was silent for a moment when he found out that Daolao was one of the 5 destructive demons.

“5 Demon Destroyer yes. Do you know the remaining 4 people?” ask Liu Shan.

“(Hundun, Taotie, Taowu and Qiongqi. That's the fourth name of the five destructive demons)”

The existence of those 5 destructive demons provided an obstacle for Liu Shan and everyone on the cultivator's land. Since the existence of the demon clan alone was already extremely threatening, Ming Xiao's own strength could increase drastically just by turning into a demon.

Unimaginable power from a pure demon like those 5 destructive demons, and also ‘iblis’ from all demons, Zhong Kui himself.

Ming Xiao and Daolao who had appeared in the Liliang academy gave a clue that allowed Liu Shan to fill in the empty pieces of his puzzle.

“Xuan Wudan, you previously said that the four Zhong Kui seals were spread into four major countries, right?”

“(Yes)”

The answer also made Jun realize the main purpose of their arrival. Liliang Academy is located within the northern region, which is the Tu state. Moreover, the Liliang academy was the largest academy and had talented cultivators within it. The dragon room as one of them was a treasure stored by the Tu state to guard cultivation scrolls that had been hundreds, even thousands of years old.

“They came here not limited to releasing the demon clans. They took one of Zhong Kui's seals from the dragon chamber!”

Xuan Wudan himself was shocked upon hearing Liu Shan's words. As a god guarding the Shenmi forest and the Tu state of the North, Xuan Wudan had the responsibility to guard the seal.

“(Son, the seal was guarded strongly with an ancient technique that made not just anyone able to retrieve it. That kind of demon Ming Xiao would not be able to possibly destroy the technique!)”

“Indeed no. What about Daolao?”

The power of a destructive demon like Daolao is an exception. If a demon who was thousands of years old could still set foot in those days, it would be impossible for him to destroy the technique to obtain Zhong Kui's seal.

“(Tch, if only I knew Daolao was alive!)”

“Nothing can be done again. One of the seals had already been taken from the dragon chamber. They must have gone to the other three countries to retrieve the rest of the seal,” Liu Shan said.

Liu Shan turned around and moved his feet swiftly towards the dragon chamber. He chased with time, the longer he made up his mind, then the more free Ming Xiao and Daolao were to take back Zhong Kui's seal.

When he reached in front of the dragon room, Liu Shan was a little astonished at the condition of the gate that there were no guards. He went in and looked left and right. Look for the room that holds the seal.

And when he entered a passageway, Liu Shan had already seen the existence of the academy's higher-ups who had been standing crowded in front. The elder Khan, Sheng Tong, Qing Yao, Bai Ling, and a few other academy elders.

The sound of Liu Shan's footsteps caught the attention of all of them. The face look sad, surprised and also disappointed at the same time.

“Liu Shan,” muttered Qing Yao.

Far in front of him, Liu Shan saw an empty cup that was on top of a stone pillar. And from the position of the cup, Liu Shan was able to find out that previously the seal was in it.

“You already know yes,” shriek Qing Yao.

Liu Shan simply nodded slowly in reply. The atmosphere of the dragon chamber looked extremely gloomy with the loss of the Zhong Kui seal from there.

“We have to stop it. Whatever happens, that ‘iblis’ must not bounce back!”

The other elders looked panicked while grumbling at each other. However, elder Khan himself turned on them.

“Quiet first. Panicking doesn't change anything. One of the seals has been taken away, our priority is not grumbling. Quickly send this information through pigeons to the other three countries. Strengthening the defense is the first step we must take!”

“Ba-good!”

The other elders immediately moved according to elder Khan's orders. Qing Yao, Sheng Tong and Bai Ling were still in the room with Liu Shan.

“Chairman Khan, providing such information alone will not be effective much. You've seen how horrible that demon named Daolao is, right?” liu Shan.

“I know son. But this is his first step,” said elder Khan while changing the direction of his gaze on Qing Yao.

“Qing Yao, you will be the head of the expedition team to Feng country from the east. Bring your people to strategize before Ming Xiao gets there.”

Without questioning it, Qing Yao nodded and immediately made a move carrying out the order. The elder Khan who made the quick decision also changed the direction of his gaze again to Liu Shan.

“And Liu Shan, I want you to go to Huo country in the South.”

Both of his eyes opened wide while stunned in silence. It was inseparable for Bai Ling and Sheng Tong who were there. Qing Yao herself came to a halt in her footsteps as she wanted to get out of the dragon room.

“Tua Khan!” sahut Qing Yao's.

That shout led Qing Yao's footsteps to approach the elder Khan and Liu Shan again. The look on his face was not while frowning it was clearly seen by them.

“What does it mean to tell Liu Shan? There are still Sheng Tong and Bai Ling to keep an eye on the other three countries!” refute Qing Yao.

“Qing Yao, I know you're worried about him. But, Liu Shan is not as weak as you think,” elder Khan said.

“Then why? Even if he was not weak, he was still a student at Liliang academy. It is our responsibility to maintain the safety of students!” said Qing Yao.

Qing Yao's words were not wrong. The elder Khan who made such a decision was naturally questioned, for allowing a disciple to intervene into the fight outside the supervision of the academy.

“I disagree with this. Just send Sheng Tong or Bai Ling to go Huo country, they understand much more about the situation!”

Even though elder Khan was the head of the academy, but Qing Yao was the teacher in direct charge of Liu Shan.

But the situation has changed drastically. The state of the world may soon face a major threat in the future. Liu Shan could not stay silent in the academy, even if he had to refute the woman who had helped him.

He raised his head and looked straight at Qing Yao. The hand that was clenched while trying to let out a breath from his tightly closed mouth.

Liu Shan said, too,

“Then, I quit the academy Liliang.”
