Chapter 202 - 202 I’m the Son-In-Law of Your Demon Emperor
202 I’m the Son-In-Law of Your Demon Emperor
Liu Yuan was rather familiar with the Three-headed Heavenly Demon, or rather, all the Heavenly Demons.
This was because when he transmigrated, the largest instance dungeon of the current version, ‘Demon in the Human World’, was about to end. The first batch of pioneers had almost cleared the instance dungeon.
This meant that Gu Chang, who was supposed to become the final boss, would be defeated by the players in less than a day, and the strategy would be posted to clearly show other players.
Then, Gu Chang would face the fate of being killed by the players over and over again.
However, because of Liu Yuan, this child should be on his way to the Jade Mirage sect and would soon become a pillar of the Righteous Path who was good at crossdressing.
It was truly worthy of celebration.
During that period of time when the dungeon was first cleared, before Liu Yuan conquered You Su, he first had to enter the front line map of the Yonghui Sea, where the Human-Demon War was going on. Hence, he had mixed in with some big shots’ teams and made a few rounds in the dungeon. He had a clear understanding of the attributes and moves of these few demon bosses, as well as their weaknesses.
The Eight-armed Heavenly Demon was the same, but there was one thing that had to be mentioned.
The final boss was Gu Chang, who later changed his name to Gu Cang, not the Eight-armed Heavenly Demon.
Simply put, the Eight-armed Heavenly Demon was just a tool in the original plot of the game.
Gu Chang should have become an empty shell possessed by the Gu Cang like Pang Ying, but he had first received Ding Luan’s power transmission before being possessed by the demon, so he had retained his consciousness.
Later on, he wandered between the demon world and the human world for hundreds of years, and broke away from the state of possession. He turned into a demon himself, and became an existence higher than the Four Great Heavenly Demons. He was only a step away from the Demon Emperor who was suppressed under the Demon Realm.
Before the Demon Emperor appeared, Gu Cang was the head of the demon race at that time.
To be honest, this little brat was the true template of the main character. It would not be an exaggeration to write a novel about his experiences.
However, although Gu Chang was a lot stronger in the original plot, Liu Yuan was not worried that changing the path would weaken him. From the days when Gu Chang followed him, he knew that this man was not an ordinary person.
Moreover, the price he paid for his strength was a huge tragedy. He was happier now.
Back to the main topic, before Liu Yuan transmigrated here, he conquered You Su at the Yonghui Sea not long ago. He was very familiar with the bosses of the demon race.
He might not be able to remember how many characters he had conquered, but he could still remember the weaknesses of these bosses that he defeated in his conquering strategy.
However, he was only familiar with the Three-headed Heavenly Demon who had appeared as a boss on the Human-Demon Battlefront in the late stage. He was not familiar with the fake Pang Ying who had suddenly appeared in the Martial Emperor’s Tomb. He was not sure if there was any difference between the two.
However, the most important thing now was to stall for time. Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, it was fine as long as he could dupe this demon.
The Three-headed Heavenly Demon’s expression changed when she heard that. She narrowed her eyes and sneered, “Human, are you trying to use deception to buy time? I’m telling you, in front of us demons, any lie is useless!”
“I even know things that you don’t.” Liu Yuan interrupted her and looked straight at the Three-headed Heavenly Demon. “The Eight-armed Heavenly Demon came out of the Abyssal Pool Mansion thousands of years ago and possessed a Jade Mirage disciple whose Daoist name was Rufa. He hid in the Jade Mirage sect for hundreds of years in fear and trepidation, climbing from the bottom to the throne of the chief disciple. In the end, he successfully became a disciple of the then Sect Master, Ding Luan, in an attempt to obtain Ding Luan’s body. I didn’t expect that the latter’s willpower was so strong that even your so-called Heavenly Demon Sensing Heart Sutra could not do anything to him.
He shook his head and sighed. “Poor Ding Luan. He’s always treated Rufa as his own child, not a disciple. Who knew that everything was fake in the end? In his grief, he still chose to leave the sect and hide from the world. He fought with the Heavenly Demon for hundreds of years.”
When Liu Yuan said this, he recalled that Ding Luan had died in the cave over the span of seven days, but he had never mentioned anything about his hundreds of years of depression, loneliness, or the pain of his disciple’s betrayal. In the end, he calmly met his death, and this made him feel a little different.
Liu Yuan had a vague understanding of the game’s storyline. After all, he was not specialized in this, so it was impossible for him to remember accurate data.
The only thing he knew was that almost 600 years later, the front line of the North Gate Lock Key was lost, and the demon tide emerged all over Shangyang, and the Great War between humans and demons officially began.
The demon race did not climb up from the Yonghui Sea in the East, which was suppressed by the Sea Slashing Tower, or the Northern Underworld, or the Cracked Lava Abyss in the Shuo Huang sea, as the Immortal cultivators had imagined. Instead, they had been quietly lurking in every corner of Shangyang, waiting for the opportunity to make a move!
The demon race’s ability was parasitism! Whether it was their fog-like body structure or the cultivation techniques they practiced, they were all inclined toward the aspect of spiritual control.
In the past thousands of years, countless humans like Rufa had been possessed by the Eight-armed Heavenly Demon. They were like a group of termites, and although it was not obvious on the surface, the wood had been gnawed and riddled with holes.
When the time was right, they would destroy the human race in one fell swoop. Therefore, the war between humans and demons was described in the game as extremely tragic, with countless tragedies.
Two months ago, the Eight-armed Heavenly Demon and Ding Luan quietly perished together in the most ordinary corner of Shangyang. Its thousand years of hard work were all in vain.
Liu Yuan’s face was full of regret, but the things he said were of no value in the eyes of the Three-headed Heavenly Demon. The relationship between the demons was cold. The death of the Eight-armed Heavenly Demon was just an insignificant part of the great cause of the demon race, and now, it had even failed. It was not worth pitying!
The Three-headed Heavenly Demon’s heart trembled, and the reason was Liu Yuan’s mention of the Heavenly Demon Sensing Heart Sutra!
This was a cultivation method that the higher-ups of the demon race would definitely not pass on to outsiders!
‘This man casually said something that the human race couldn’t possibly know. Who is he? Could it be that… He’s a demon?’
“Interesting human, tell me, what is my weakness?” The Three-headed Heavenly Demon was bewildered. She calmed down and revealed a charming smile, pretending not to care, and asked tentatively.
Liu Yuan pointed his finger and said, “It’s the Sea of Consciousness hidden in the middle head’s glabella. Your body is no different from a human. You changed into three heads to protect your Sea of Consciousness. It’s ridiculous to cover your ears and steal a bell.”
The Three-headed Heavenly Demon’s expression instantly stiffened. He was actually right.
“Who are you?!”
Pang Ying’s eyes were filled with shock. She could not believe that this guy was a human.
Liu Yuan glanced to the side and saw that the two little foxes had already reached Zhiying. He chuckled and said, “Me? I’m just your Devil Emperor’s son-in-law…”
In reality, there was no son-in-law of the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor did not have any daughters.
The Three-headed Heavenly Demon found it strange as well, and she seemed to really believe him. She said in a daze, “The son-in-law of the Demon Emperor?”
Liu Yuan shouted, “You believed that? …Run!”
The two little foxes were carrying Zhiying. The red silk and silver silk wrapped around Zhiying and picked her up. Then, they started to run. Liu Yuan turned around and shouted to Chuichui, “Fly up and get out!”
He did not notice that He Qingmeng, who was hiding not far behind him, had a strange expression on her face when she heard his words.
