Chapter 593: Just How Strong is This Demon?

593 Just How Strong is This Demon?

Lin Qiye waved his hand and did not continue the topic.

He turned around and asked, “How’s the investigation on the demons coming along?”

Before returning to Tata Village, Lin Qiye had ordered the fiend soldiers and the people of the four empires to investigate the demon nests that had appeared in various places.

“Milord, all the demon nests are in a stable state. We’ve sent people to test the waters, and as long as we don’t break into the nest’s territory, we won’t be attacked even if we stay nearby.”

Chang Shi took the lead to report.

Huyan Meng and the others also hurriedly summarized the situation they had investigated during this time.

“According to the latest intelligence statistics, no new demon nests appeared since ten days ago. A total of 110 nests have appeared in various places.

“There are 99 low-level demon nests with only cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm. There were ten medium-grade nests in the Earth Immortal Realm. There’s only one high-grade nest that’s guarded by a Celestial.”

Lin Qiye couldn’t help but frown after hearing the detailed data.

“That is all?”

“Yes, my lord. That’s all the information we’ve gathered so far. But from the looks of it, those demons should have already sent out their main force. I don’t know what they’re waiting for.”

The locations of the demon nests were all marked on the map.

From the map’s distribution, there was a pattern to the appearance of each demon nest.

Right now, all the crucial locations on the continent are occupied by demon nests. It seemed it was just as Huyan Meng and the others had speculated. The main force should have been mobilized.

“Something’s not right. The prophecy said that the demon race has the power to destroy the world. If it’s just this little power, how could it possibly threaten the Heavenly God Palace?”

Wan Meng’s voice rang out in Lin Qiye’s mind.

Lin Qiye also knew this. He looked at Huyan Meng and the others and asked again, “Have you verified the strength of the demon nests? Especially that high-grade nest.”

Hearing this, Huyan Meng and the others immediately revealed embarrassed expressions.

“No…”

“The demon nests are of different ranks, so the difference in power will also increase by several times.”

“The low-level nests are guarded by cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm in charge of millions of low-level demons. The medium-grade nests are guarded by cultivators at the Earth Immortal Realm. Besides the millions of low-grade demons, each medium-grade fiend nest should have more than 100 cultivators at the Human Immortal Realm.”

“As for the high-grade demon nest, we can only deduce based on this increasing data. We also don’t dare to investigate it rashly…”

While investigating the demons, the four kings personally visited some low-level demon nests to get more detailed data.

They had even worked together to break into a medium-grade nest.

However, that experience had caused them to be besieged by over a hundred Immortal Realm demons. If it wasn’t for Huyan Meng being powerful enough to help them break through the blockade in time…

By now, they would have probably become the puppets of the demons.

The trip to the medium-grade demon nest had left a lingering fear in their hearts. Therefore, no one dared to mention investigating the high-grade nest.

Lin Qiye did not blame them.

Indeed, according to this increasing data, there were probably groups of Earth Immortals and Human Immortals everywhere in high-level demon nests.

It was also in line with the strength of the demon race in the prophecy.

However, the power of the demon race was enough to crush the secular world easily, yet they had not taken any action. What were they waiting for?

“I don’t know what the demon clan is planning, and I can’t waste more time. Wan Meng, get ready…

“I want to remove my immortal bone!”

In his sea of consciousness, Lin Qiye decided with a solemn expression.

After that, he didn’t have the mood to talk to the four Kings anymore and just left the trivial matters to Chang Shi and the others to deal with.

He then returned to the backyard and prepared to enter seclusion.

However…

Just as he was about to activate the formation and seal off the backyard, a familiar figure landed in the courtyard in a sorry state.

The person had broken through Lin Qiye and Wan Meng’s detection and appeared without warning.

However, when the two recognized her aura, they were shocked.

“Sister Yan!”

Wan Meng exclaimed. “What happened to you?”

It was Zhao Yan. At this moment, she was covered in blood, and her breathing was chaotic. Her left arm was distorted in an exaggerated posture.

Half of her face had been corroded, and her bone was almost completely exposed.

If Lin Qiye and Wan Meng had not recognized her aura, they would not have been able to identify this miserable person.

“The demons! The army of demons has invaded the Heavenly God Palace!”

Zhao Yan was agitated. Her right arm, which was still intact, grabbed onto Wan Meng, who came to help her. The fear in her heart could still be seen on her destroyed face.

Lin Qiye and Wan Meng’s expressions changed. He stepped forward and helped Zhao Yan up.

“Let’s go. Let’s heal her first.”

The two helped Zhao Yan to Lin Qiye’s residence and wanted to lay her on the bed.

However, Lin Qiye didn’t know if it was because of the pain or something else, but she just couldn’t calm down.

Zhao Yan struggled to get up and kept repeating the word “demon.”

Her mental state was on the verge of collapse.

“She’s too critically injured. Even her life essence has been damaged!”

Lin Qiye was shocked after a simple examination of Zhao Yan’s injuries.

“How could this be? How did this happen?”

Wan Meng anxiously cried. She had also detected cracks in Zhao Yan’s soul.

At this moment, Zhao Yan’s body was severely damaged, and she lost a lot of life force. Moreover, the demonic energy was corroding her wounds constantly, preventing her from healing herself.

On her soul origin, cracks had appeared, and the demonic power was devouring it.

If she were to ignore it, she would be reduced to a demonic puppet in less than half a day.

“Master, you can save her, right? You can do it, can’t you?”

Wan Meng grabbed Lin Qiye’s arm. Lin Qiye could feel her hand trembling.

Lin Qiye’s expression was grim as he gently patted the back of Wan Meng’s hand.

“Don’t worry. She can still be saved.”

Hearing this, Wan Meng’s tense body finally relaxed a little.

She was the “person” who knew Lin Qiye the best in this world. She knew Lin Qiye had dealt with demons before and had many tricks up his sleeve.

If even Lin Qiye couldn’t save Zhao Yan, no one else could.

That was the truth.

In addition to the violent thunderbolts used for killing, Lin Qiye also cultivated immortal spells after upgrading the Dao Repository Technique.

The former could restrain demons and dispel the demonic power in Zhao Yan’s body, while the latter was good at nourishing vitality and had a miraculous effect in healing injuries.

“Help me control her. There’s too much demonic power in her body. If I forcefully remove it, it’ll cause her much pain. I can’t let her hurt herself further.”

“Alright!”

Lin Qiye instructed, and Wan Meng immediately activated her territory to restrain Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan, seriously injured, no longer had the strength of a Celestial. At this moment, even the most ordinary Human Immortal could suppress her.

After making sure Zhao Yan would not hurt herself, Lin Qiye focused and used his mental power to control the lightning to enter her body slowly.

Under Lin Qiye’s control, the power of lightning became gentle. However, when it came into contact with the demonic energy, it did not seem weak and could instantly annihilate it.

“What exactly did she experience? Why is there so much chaotic energy in her body?”

As the demonic power in Zhao Yan’s body was gradually removed, Lin Qiye became more frightened.

This was not the first time he had helped someone to remove the demonic power’s erosion, but it was the first time he had come into contact with something as serious as Zhao Yan’s.

Generally, people corroded by demonic power would only have one trace in their bodies.

However, Zhao Yan’s body had dozens of different demonic powers.

For example, her broken left arm. Just that injury alone had twelve different demonic auras.

The corroded part of her face was weirder. The mixed energy wasn’t just demonic Qi but also something strange that Lin Qiye couldn’t distinguish.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

When Wan Meng saw Lin Qiye’s frown, her heart began to race.

“It’s nothing. I don’t know what happened at the Heavenly God Palace to cause her to be gravely injured.”

Lin Qiye didn’t want Wan Meng to worry, so he didn’t tell her about his discovery.

Wan Meng fell into silence. She was well aware of the power of the Heavenly God Palace.

From the entrance alone, there was a barrier even a Supreme Being could not break through.

However, how did the demon race manage to get in?

Moreover, Zhao Yan was a powerhouse in the Celestial Realm. Even in the Heavenly God Palace, she was considered a high-ranking existence.

Just how powerful was the demon to gravely injure her while escaping?
