The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 123 - Demon of Mount Qin
The twelfth seal is back open. Xue Zhan gulped. The demon was sinister, he was not what Xue Zhan had imagined before. His witty and clever mind played on his interlocutor's feelings until Xue Zhan had thought the demon was a little good for wanting to help him. Apparently he was much more cunning, he would do everything possible to destroy the human world by using Xue Zhan's body.
Xue Zhan stared at the two hands imagining that he would take the lives of all humans including his teacher and friend. The Devil of Sin once said that the one who destroyed the seal was not himself, but Xue Zhan himself. The negative energies within him including emotions, desire and strength can make the seal spell come loose. Xue Zhan clenched both hands while saying out loud to the Devil of Sin.
"Whatever happens I will hold you back from resurrection, even if I have to drag you with me into hell."

"I don't get the answer."
A person in a black robe as well as a red fox mask stopped looking forward, his hand holding a sword that was still dripping fresh blood, heard from his tone, he was so desperate and void.
The man in all white clothes and a very handsome face smiled for a second, his gaze down looking at the figure while answering his question.
"You haven't found him yet. Any minute ... When you eliminate them one by one, you'll get them. I promise you."
The white-robed man walked slowly and hugged the figure warmly like a father. "I will help you achieve your goals."

"It has been three years since the demon's death and the world has never calmed down. There is always turmoil, giving terror to everyone. What exactly did the devil do? Is he still alive?!" Emperor Ziran smashed a fist at the side of the throne seat. His intonation rose drastically, this time a messenger soldier had returned only alone when he should have brought 20 more people with him.
The soldier was severely injured, his neck was injured to the point of revealing white flesh but he was still able to speak despite faltering.
"Yes-His Majesty ... I-they said ... They will destroy all the Empire and resurrect ... Ra-king ..."
The man let out his last breath without finishing his sentence, the two palace soldiers held onto the man's shoulders and made sure of his condition. Sure enough, that man is dead. Emperor Ziran cursed.
"King? The King of Mount Qin?! After twenty years of killing hundreds of thousands of people of Diqiu Empire, he would return again?!"
Frustrated heavily, Emperor Ziran threw the small cup into pieces. The drinking is not at all calm, the pressure always comes from various sides. After the sacrifice of the Great Chief of the World, those bleak times came back. The man's breath was roaring fast. It had been one week that he could not sleep quietly, now that news had arrived.
Then a woman in all-enclosed clothes who served as a spy of Diqiu Empire came and immediately took up a position. Both of his hands were respectfully joined.
"Izin conveyed His Highness, we received a report that the Red Fangs and Devils of Mount Qin had a relationship. We have not received any further information."
Ziran Zhao closed his eyes while shaking his head, the matter sounded more and more complicated until his head could no longer digest everything that was happening. The demons from Mount Qin alone were already quite electrifying, now came the information that the Red Fangs were also conspiring with them.
The beginning of the appearance of the demons from Mount Qin alone had shocked the martial world and made the two Empires into a nightmarish. What about this second appearance? They could have wiped out all humans like the warning his soldiers had given. Ziran Zhao's heart was beating fast, he had never felt threatened like this.
It was impossible to face a Devil from Mount Qin without cooperating with the other three Empires. In response to this serious matter Emperor Ziran immediately threw an invitation to the three Emperors of the Guang Empire, Bing and Feng to hold an emergency meeting.
"Snowflowers are stained with blood, The Sky Cows on the Shadow of Virtue. The God of Death wraths and rises. The wind from Mount Qin brought the news of death to mankind .." said someone as he walked through the palace hall and caught the attention of everyone in the room.
The way it goes is still charismatic as usual. But lately the man is getting pias and losing the spirit of his life.
After the death of his beloved wife, he lost his son whom he loved so much. The son who became the last gift of his wife disappeared after the death of a half-human demon. Little did Jiazhen Wu see blame Emperor Ziran for the disappearance of her son from the Diqiu Empire. His decision that had Xue Zhan killed was a severe blow to his son.
All his life he had only first seen his stubborn son interact so well with his peers. He's not gonna get the same thing. Jiazhen Wu's eyes turned murky again, Ziran Zhao said immediately.
"Have I not warned everyone not to recite the verse? Those terms also apply to you, Mr. Jiazhen."
"I don't mean to, Your Majesty." He stood right before Ziran Zhao, showing his respect.
"I found this talisman, does it belong to His Majesty? Judging from the materials and carvings this clan must be yours."
The talisman had a hanger-like shape, made of glass inside which was filled with writing. Yin Jiao made it look like a regular accessory. But the iron material of the object is believed to provide welfare and luck to the owner.
Ziran Zhao put on a face as usual, he replied formally. "I lost that talisman for a long time. Lucky Mr. Jiazhen found it. It was a gift my grandson, Yin Jiao gave me and it was precious to me." A faint smile appeared on his face. Jiazhen Wu did not immediately hand over the talisman, Ziran Zhao read that there was something else he wanted to convey.
"Where did you drop him, Your Majesty?"
"What do you mean?" Ziran Zhao cleared his throat. "I always carry it with me, I usually hang it on the robe."
"The followers of my clan discovered a shocking fact. Earlier I sent them to pay a visit to the cursed river in the Eternal Valley, the place where Kang Jian ended his life. We got a fight and it took us five months to get permission to look there."
He's moving closer.
"Are you seen in Kang Jian's death?"
Ziran Zhao widened his eyes wide, not expecting Jiazhen Wu to say something like this to him in the presence of others.
