When the woman heard Xiawen Dong's words, she immediately paled. She was about to say something when a scream echoed, interrupting their conversation. "What— what is that?" the woman stammered.
Xiawen Dong walked out the carriage that was pulled by a mount. Walking outside, he immediately spotted the debris of the first carriage that was traveling ahead of them. His face turned dark when he noticed the absence of the bodies in front of him. Even the mount was no longer there. He held his hand, preventing the next carriage that was following them from moving any further.
"Elder… did something happen?" Another Elder approached him.
"Something is wrong." Xiawen Dong uttered as he surveyed the whole area. He sent his spiritual sense and still found nothing. "Someone followed us here." He gritted his teeth and called the purple-haired woman. "Remove your worms."
"Husband?"
"Are you deaf? Remove your worms! The demon that killed the disciples followed us out of here! If you won't remove the worms, they would think all of us are devils! Faster!"
"But— But what about me?"
"Can't you defend yourself?' Xiawen Dong snorted. This woman had been really proud of her abilities earlier. However, now she was shivering in fear. Does this mean demons are stronger than devils?
"I— Husband…"
"Now!" Xiawen Dong hissed.
…
Just like Xiawen Dong, Fang Yu wondered why they would think a demon killed those disciples. Was it because of the dagger that she used? Or the way that their bodies disappeared. Currently, Fang Yu was hiding in her own space, watching as Xiawen Dong force the purple- haired woman to remove some worms.
Of course, she was not aware what kind of worms was he talking about. But she was sure it was on the disciples who survived the ruins. Fang Yu frowned a budding suspicion started to sprout inside her.
Base on Fang Yu's original knowledge, Demons and Devils are two races that are very different from each other. Of course, they live in two separate dimensions with their own kings too. However, the two never got along. In fact, they had been in each other's throat since the history in this world started.
Fang Yu had no idea why the two races hated each other too much. All she knew was the fact that Devils love to give diseases to other races while demons were sinister races that loved to rule worlds. Of course, both races were hated by humans.
Fang Yu watched as the woman with purple hair started chanting a language that she doesn't understand. Then slowly, the atmosphere turned hot… soon the disciples of the Frozen Wraith Sect who are still alive fell on the ground, their face contorted as they screamed.
Then, a worm that looked like an adult man's thumb crawled out of their mouths and ears. Fang Yu fought the urge to throw up. Base on Xiawen Dong's words, he was aware of this matter and was the one who made the woman gave the worms to his disciple. What a cruel man.
After a couple of minutes, all the disciples fainted as the worm slowly slither towards the purple-haired woman.
"Is it done?' Xiawen Dong asked, his brows furrowed as he stared at the woman's pale face.
"Yes. Yes, husband."
"Then let's rest here for the night." Xiawen Dong immediately asked his people to sit up camp. He wanted the demon to see that they are not devils and there is no reason to kill them. Or at least that is the only thing that he could think of. "Hey! Come here…"
"Hu— Husband?" this time tall blond woman walked towards Xiawen Dong.
"Tell me everything about the demon clan. " He said the moment they got into their own tent.
"Yes. The Demons have been hiding for years now because they lost their demon prince."
"Lost?"
"There was a war and he disappeared."
"Was he wounded?"
"Yes. That's what the rumors say."
"But?" Xiawen Dong frowned.
"Well… Well… some of the upper devils said that he was betrayed and he died. Some said that he was only wounded but he will come back soon."
Xiawen Dong touched his chin. "And the way that the disciples died… was something that demons would do?"
"Yes— Yes… they love bringing humans to their world. Demons are prideful creatures and they usually enslave humans."
"And the ruins?"
"Well… rumors said that the ruins was owned by the demon prince."
"You mean— You mean that the demon race can control space?"
"Space and time. But he was still weak when he disappeared."
Xiawen Dong turned silent. Now that the demons dared to venture into the human world. Does that mean the demon prince is back? "Do you know if the demon prince is now back?"
"Not that I heard of. But the upper devils would always keep something like this a secret." The blond bit her lip, and shifted her body, showing her cleavage from the blue short clothes that she was wearing.
Xiawen Dong waved his hand, motioning her to leave him alone. He needed time to process all the information. "Wait…" Before the woman could go outside, Xiawen Dong stopped her. "Which one is more powerful? The demons or the devils?
"Naturally, the demons." The blond said. "They can use elements. We can only use dark elements and create poison. The only reason why the prince disappeared is that he was betrayed. But aside from that… he was really strong. Or at least… would be strong. At that time… the strongest of the demon race is the Demon General. He was also the adviser of the prince and was very loyal to him. But he also disappeared when the prince disappeared."
"When did the prince disappear?" he asked.
"Hmmm… More than three thousand years ago."
"Is that is the case, then the demons have no leader. Why didn't the devil race not attack them?" Xiawen Dong's gaze darkened. "Was it because they are still strong without a leader?"
"Yes. Husband… this was another reason why the devils wanted to the help of the humans who can use elements." The blond woman smiled. Once the devils would finally rule the human world, they are going to create a powerful army to fight. That's what his uncle, the Sect Master told him. At first Xiawen Dong just thought this was all because they wanted to use humans. However, with the clarification of his wife, Xiawen Dong was now very aware of how important this mission is.
They needed to conquer humanity. And they needed to do it as fast as possible.
