Chapter 1358 - 720: Cooperation with the Demon Lord! Ten Thousand Gods Cave!

"It truly is a grand gesture, making it hard for anyone to refuse..."

The Daoist Venerable present kept silent for a moment, before Taiwu Daoist Venerable laughed aloud, his aura still as heavy as a mountain, and spoke:

"If it truly is the case, then your identity, senior, must indeed be the Taiyin Demon Lord whose demise occurred in the Heavenly Court—the Heavenly Empress Xi’e?"

"Correct."

The woman nodded slightly and then said, "Unexpectedly, you humans can still recognize my identity."

"Senior, you truly jest."

Among those present, Jiang Shu spoke with a smile, "Any Demon Lord or Daoist Master is a radiant existence that spans history, even though we humans did not truly step into the Demon Domain back then, we naturally have knowledge of it now."

The many memories of the Demon Race, although passed down through bloodline inheritance.

Yet humans and the Demon Race have battled for ages; this is not merely one war.

Therefore, there is understanding of the foundation and history of the Demon Race.

Previously unsure, we just didn’t know which era this corresponded to.

Now understanding this as the falling place of the Demon Race Heavenly Court, discerning the identity of this Demon Race Daoist Master has naturally become easy.

"Hehe..."

Xi’e nodded slightly, looked up towards the sky, and then spoke with a smile.

"Thus, are you all willing to cooperate?"

"Is it possible, that with your identity and cultivation, you cannot erase those rebels?"

The Sect Leader of Hidden Sword Sect spoke coldly.

This was a probe, to see what exactly Xi’e was concealing.

The Venerables present are no fools, although the animosity between this person and those rebels is as deep as the ocean.

However, this person has no particular relation with humans.

Furthermore, humans and the Demon Race have always been naturally opposed.

Why would they believe that this person is purely seeking their help?

And not merely using them as tools?

Xi’e chuckled lightly, her body still wrapped in boundless moonlight, then spoke:

"Simply powerless."

"What’s left is merely a thread of my body’s will, and part of my power."

"It only possesses the power for one blow; upon outbreak, it’s uncertain if it would even erase those intruders before being..."

Xi’e hesitated slightly in her words, looking up at the firmament, "Being forcibly blocked by that one, for he still lives."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts were resolute.

The direction Xi’e gazed at was precisely the floating place of the Demon Race Imperial Palace.

Though the palace’s master did not step within, but embedded a Daoist Master’s treasure at the edge of the world, it was certain that if the Demon Lord wished, intervention could occur instantly.

No matter how strong Xi’e was in life, facing a contemporary Demon Lord, at most she could only hold off for a moment.

"In that case, cooperation with you may indeed be our best option."

The current Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect spoke.

The Daoist Venerables exchanged glances, their divine thoughts swiftly colliding and exchanging ideas.

"Cooperating with this person, must be making a pact with the tiger; great trouble may arise."

"However, we are not without the means of a Daoist Master, there must be a way."

"This is likely a battle of wits among Demon Lords, we are mere pawns."

In an instant, all eyes turned to Taiwu Daoist Venerable.

At this moment, Taiwu Daoist Venerable held the highest prestige and influence among the human Daoist Venerables, exceeding even the former Sect Leader of the Dao Yi Sect.

"If that’s the case, then I shall venture for you, senior."

After contemplation and discussion with the Daoist Venerables, Taiwu Daoist Venerable agreed.

"Such is excellent."

The hazy figure nodded slightly, with a voice carrying some satisfaction.

"Though possessing only the power for one blow, it can also do some preparations for you all."

As the voice fell, Heavenly Empress Xi’e gently flicked her fingers, and streams of moonlight shot forth, subsequently condensing before everyone.

"What is this?"

Those moonlights condensed into one jade pearl after another before everyone, like miniature moons, drawing attention.

"These items, are treasures I have condensed using my own power. By holding them, you can discern the map of this place and the locations of those rebels."

"Moreover, in crucial moments, these items can be crushed to resist the Five Declines Poison for a moment."

Xi’e’s voice was incredibly gentle, akin to moonlight brushing across everyone’s heart.

"The Five Declines Poison?"

"Could it be the black undercurrent formed by the power of heaven and earth rejection?"

The elderly face of the Sect Leader of the Dan Fu Sect showed a hint of curiosity.

He was greatly interested in the black currents flowing through the world.

Previously, he was pondering on how to refine these black currents into the Dan Fu, but unfortunately, all failed.

"Correct, this item is called Five Declines Poison. It’s more of a description than a poison. It is shadowless and shapeless, unremovable, and as long as one stands within this realm, they are affected."

"Or rather, any Demon Lord or human Daoist Master constantly endures a weakened version of the Five Declines Poison; however, this realm is somewhat peculiar."

Xi’e’s eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence.

"Telling you this isn’t particularly useful; you only need to know it was a last act of malice by a Demon Lord before death, allowing even below this realm’s strong to feel the omnipresent malice of the heavens."

Xi’e’s voice was clear and cold.

"Perhaps remaining at the Venerable Realm might not be a bad thing; for us Daoist Masters and Demon Lords, this realm is merely a cage, and we are but the awakened."
