Chapter 213: Chapter 211 Demon Realm

After Yang Fujian’s beating, these little demons were bleeding and much more honest.

However, their eyes conveyed grief and anger.

Such injuries would make them weaker, but were not fatal, which was exactly the effect Yang Fujian wanted.

He didn’t want to chat with three fully-powered demons of the same Realm; in case they had some human-unknown technique to break through the array, it could spell trouble for him and his sister.

He and Yang Fuqing had walked in the Devil Wind Forest for many years and had adopted a cautious habit, not giving other clans a chance to bite back.

“That’s about enough, Little Jian.”

The three little demons looked at Yang Fuqing with gratitude, thinking she was a saint for finally stopping this devil.

They already had a slight fondness for her, but now they felt this female cultivator was rather kind-hearted.

Swish, swish, swish!

Yang Fujian’s three swords automatically returned to the scabbard on his back, and he coldly said, “Now, when my sister asks, you answer. If I find out anyone is lying… Hmph!”

The three little demons shivered and replied while clutching their wounds:

“Understood…”

Yang Fuqing asked, “What kind of demons are you? Where do you come from? How did you end up here?”

The Mountain Bear carefully glanced at Yang Fujian; seeing that he wasn’t making a move, it dared to speak.

“I belong to the Mountain Bear lineage. We lived in the Demon Realm, but by a stroke of luck… escaped with a few friends. We found the scenery here quite nice, and thus decided to settle here… I swear, we have never harmed a human cultivator!”

“Yes! We haven’t!”

“We only eat demon beasts! Not humans! Please let us go, senior!”

The three little demons pleaded repeatedly.

Yang Fuqing looked quite pitiable.

“They seem to be as intelligent as members of our human clan, huh? Is this what demons are like?”

Yang Fujian snorted coldly and the three swords struck.

Swish, swish, swish!

The three little demons: “!!!”

Another blood mark was added.

“A stroke of luck? I think you still don’t want to tell the truth… Where exactly is the Demon Realm, and how did you actually get out!”

The three little demons were greatly alarmed!

Especially the Mountain Bear, though it appeared simple-minded, it was actually the most cunning, trying to hide the biggest secret.

The few exchanged glances, all clueless about how Yang Fujian had detected that he was lying.

They remembered the descriptions of the Human Clan’s Heavenly Mechanism Sect told by their elders…

Who could know the past and predict the future.

The human clan was truly terrifying!

The Mountain Bear wanted to argue more, but the Pig Demon, who could endure the least, blurted out everything.

“Stop hitting… I’ll speak. The Demon Realm is where all of our Demon Clan lives, but it was sealed by a great power of the human clan, preventing our clan from going out. However, the seal has loosened over the years, allowing weaker little demons like us to squeeze through the cracks. We heard the world outside had a lot of good food and so we banded together and escaped.”

“But I swear on the honor of our Pig Clan! We never thought of attacking the humans…”

The Demon Fox mumbled softly, “We couldn’t defeat you anyway… I’m more afraid you have designs on me, considering my grandmother said that in ancient times, the humans liked to enslave our Fox Demon clan to do strange things…”

Having heard legends of how powerful and formidable the human cultivators were, they had been incredibly cautious since escaping, fearful of being captured. In the Devil Wind Forest, they lived without worry for food or drink, utterly content.

Yang Fujian glanced at Yang Fuqing.

Yang Fuqing nodded slightly, “They probably aren’t lying…”

As for the Demon Clan, she could vaguely sense their emotions, just like with demon beasts; if they were full of deceit and trickery, she could feel it.

Moreover, yesterday the two of them had eavesdropped on the conversation of the little demons in the cave, knowing that they had sneaked out.

“So one can just leave the Demon Realm like that? Why have I only seen you few small demons in the Devil Wind Forest these past years?”

“A crack only appears once every many years, and very few demons discover it. Moreover, from the experiences of these years, only small demons whose strength doesn’t exceed the Qi Refinement Realm can pass through. We were just more fortunate to have found an open crack and then came through…”

Mountain Bear simply laid his cards on the table. Pig Demon couldn’t keep any secrets, he might as well spill the beans and hope to gain some favor.

After some more questioning, they didn’t really have any other goals or thoughts.

They were just small demons who had run out of the Demon Realm to scrounge up a meal, and they didn’t even know what this place was. However, from the human legends they had heard in the past, they instinctively wanted to avoid human cultivators to prevent being robbed of the objects on their bodies.

According to the records of the Demon Clan, the roots and fur of demons are great materials for artifact refining.

Hearing this, Yang Fujian glanced at the three swords behind his back, feeling that his Divine Sense and True Qi had grown recently, and maybe he could try forging a fourth sword.

“My bones won’t do! I’m just puffy, I actually don’t have much strength, definitely not enough to be made into a flying sword…” Mountain Bear hurriedly explained.

“Alright, I’m not a demon cultivator… Tell me more about the Demon Realm, what kind of place is it?”

“It’s a very, very big place… Many members of the Demon Clan live there, but our Demon Clan has a much stronger reproductive ability than you humans. Before we left, the Demon Realm was already very crowded, and there wasn’t enough food for everyone…”

A place poor in resources, with a multitude of demons.

Yang Fuqing continued to ask, “Then how strong are your Demon Clan members?”

“They definitely aren’t as strong as human cultivators!” The Fox Demon flatteringly said.

“Are there any Great Demons in the Golden Core Stage?”

“Golden Core Stage?” The Fox Demon paused for a moment.

“That’s not even considered a Great Demon… My uncle is a Fox Demon in the Golden Core Stage.”

“My grandfather is a Rashah Tiger in the Golden Core Stage.”

“Both my dad and mom are in the Golden Core Stage… They’re also just barely making ends meet. They won’t even buy me many things I want to eat, what kind of Great Demons are they!”

Wow! The most timid Pig Demon actually turns out to be the offspring of two Golden Core Stage demons!

Yang Fuqing swallowed her saliva.

“Then after you left, won’t your parents come looking for you?”

“I have 11 siblings from the same litter… I also have a whole bunch of older and younger siblings, totaling 40 siblings, losing one won’t be much noticeable.”

“Oh… I kind of understand now why your parents won’t buy you treats.”

This guy, who can afford to raise him!

Mountain Bear tentatively asked, “My grandfather says that among human cultivators… aren’t Golden Cores common as dogs, and Nascent Souls everywhere to be seen?”

Yang Fujian: “…”

The entire Danai Dynasty can’t even gather one in the Golden Core Stage, these demons are a bit hurtful.

Yang Fuqing, eyes darting, quickly said: “Indeed, that’s true. We are just the younger generation out on experience. The weakest among human cultivators. If you were to live in our city… even the old ladies selling clothes by the roadside are in the Golden Core Stage, your fur would be refined in an instant!”

“So it is indeed true!” Mountain Bear’s pupils shook as he clutched his glossy dark fur, too scared to let go.

Yang Fuqing casually asked, “By the way, that crack you mentioned earlier… Golden Core Stage can’t pass through it, right?”

“Not just the Golden Core Stage, but even Great Demons in the Foundation Establishment Stage can’t pass through, only us small demons below the Qi Refinement Realm can come across.” said the Fox Demon.

“My parents said, decades ago… when the crack first appeared, only the Fetal Breathing Stage young demons could pass through. Some Great Demons sent their young cubs through the crack, their fates unknown.”

The Pig Demon, though timid, knew more than the other two demons, clearly the Golden Core Stage parents were of some use.

Yang Fujian promptly asked, “What demons managed to squeeze their way through first?”

“Hmm… all were Great Demons of noble blood, like Rashah Tigers, Chicken Jade Spirits, Cat Soul Feathers…”

Hmm?

Yang Genshuo perked up upon hearing this.
