No hope for eternal life

Chapter 398: Death of Mo Xuansheng

Mu Changsheng and the other two were all shocked when they heard this. This was definitely a sensitive topic. The deceased Mo Xuansheng was Mo Lianyue's biological father.

So, Mu Changsheng said carefully: "I don't know the inside story of the past, so I don't dare to make random comments. But now there are demons and monsters threatening us from outside, and we really shouldn't fight among ourselves."

Mo Lianyue did not comment on Mu Changsheng's answer, but said softly: "Since you don't know the inside story, I will tell you the inside story today."

"Where should I start?" Mo Lianyue looked into the distance and fell into memories: "Let's start from the time when my father broke through the Eighth Realm. At that time, the Black Demon had not yet become the Ninth Realm, but the Nine Realms were still a trend of demons rising and Taoism declining. The six Nine Realm demons headed by the Changsheng Emperor were invincible. Feng Rui, You Wuye, and Ji Tianyu were the only three people who supported the righteous path. At that time, You Wushuang was still faking her death. You Wushuang once crossed the border with the Eighth Realm to kill Yang Chunqiu of the Ninth Realm. The Nine Realms had always rumored that she was seriously injured for this and had no hope of the Ninth Realm. Therefore, almost no one could have imagined that You Wushuang was still alive at that time. After all, the lifespan of an Eighth Realm cultivator was only 20,000 years. Who would have thought that You Wushuang could live for more than 30,000 years, and even lived until now. Moreover, at that time, Senior Yang Wuji seemed to have some problems with his body. His realm had always remained at the Seventh Realm and his reputation was not prominent. It is conceivable how dark and desperate that era was."

“And the first thing my father did after he achieved the eighth realm was to kill an eighth realm clone of the Black Demon and completely expel the Black Demon’s power in the Sky Fire Realm. Since then, the Sky Fire Realm has been dominated by my demon clan, and my father became famous in one battle.” Mo Lianyue said slowly: “After my father became famous, the Great Emperor Changsheng and the Master of Fengrui almost simultaneously showed their intention to recruit him. According to the situation at the time, it was undoubtedly a wiser choice to join the Great Emperor Changsheng, but my father still chose to join the righteous path.”

"In fact, my father and Black Demon were both strong enough to survive the Nine Realms Wind and Thunder Tribulation at that time, so they were only one step away from reaching the Nine Realms. However, they also faced the same problem, which was the top-grade spirit stones needed to survive the tribulation. The Skyfire Realm was the most resource-poor of the Nine Realms. Even if the entire Skyfire Realm was used with all its strength, it would not be able to gather the top-grade spirit stones needed to survive the tribulation. Originally, after my father chose the right path and had the support of Sect Master Feng, the problem of top-grade spirit stones could be solved quickly, but at that critical juncture, an accident happened."

Mu Changsheng and the other two felt a sudden tightness in their hearts, knowing that what followed would involve the truth behind Mo Xuansheng's death.

Next, Mo Lianyue said with grief on her face, word by word: "I remember the situation on that day clearly. On that day, there was a sudden thunderstorm in the East China Sea of ​​the Skyfire Realm, and it looked like a great thunderstorm was coming. But that great thunderstorm was not caused by my father. At that time, the only person in the Skyfire Realm who was qualified to launch a great thunderstorm was the Black Demon, besides my father. Since the Black Demon dared to launch a great thunderstorm, it meant that the Black Demon already had enough top-grade spirit stones. No one knew where the Black Demon got the top-grade spirit stones from, but the Black Demon surpassed my father in transcending the tribulation and seized the opportunity. Moreover, the Black Demon at that time had already shown the potential of a tyrant. Therefore, once the Black Demon achieved the ninth realm, the Nine Realms would not only have another demon, but also an extremely difficult demon. So, my father made a decision very quickly at that time. He was going to stop the Black Demon from transcending the tribulation."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng and the other two immediately felt respect for Mo Xuansheng, whom they had never met before, even though they had already vaguely guessed the ending.

"But it was a scam!" Mo Lianyue suddenly shouted loudly, tears in her eyes, "The Black Demon had already reached the Ninth Realm at some point in time. That great wind and thunder catastrophe was simply fake. It was just a trap specifically for my father. My father was trapped in it at the time and knew that he could not escape. The only thing he could do was to delay the Black Demon and buy time for us demons to escape from the Skyfire Realm."

"But father was not able to hold back the Black Demon for too long. He soon started the massacre and more than half of my demon clan members were killed, including my brother Mo Yaoxing and my mother. Since we fled separately, Qian Huan and I were lucky to survive." Mo Lianyue's expression gradually calmed down. She still remembered how embarrassed she was when she was desperately trying to escape in the void.

Then, Mo Lianyue said coldly: "You all know what happened after that. Senior Yang Wuji finally broke through to the eighth realm, and joined forces with Xiao Busheng to kill Emperor Tianshui and three other nine-realm demons in the Tianren Realm. You Wushuang also faked his death and killed two demons, Emperor Tianshuang and Emperor Tianyuan, in the Tianshuang Realm. The Nine Realms finally ushered in a time when demons disappeared and Taoism rose. However, those things have nothing to do with us demons anymore."

Mu Changsheng and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment. They all felt something strange in Mo Lianyue's story. How did the Black Demon reach the ninth realm without making any noise? Where did his top-grade spirit stone come from?

"Now that the story is over, are you all confused about what this has to do with the You clan?" Mo Lianyue asked Xiang Mu Changsheng and the other two.

"Did the Black Demon get the top-grade spirit stones that he used to break through the ninth realm from the You Clan?" Mu Changsheng guessed. This was actually not difficult to guess. Whether in the past or now, there were only a handful of people who could take out so many top-grade spirit stones at once. Combined with Mo Lianyue's attitude towards the You Clan, it was hard not to make associations.

"That's right!" Mo Lianyue said in a deep voice.

"Is there any proof?" Mu Xun interrupted.

Mo Lianyue closed his eyes and replied, "After the war ended, the Black Demon made a special appointment to meet with me and Sect Master Feng. In front of the two of us, he swore a great oath to prove that the top-grade spirit stone he used to overcome the tribulation was given to him by You Wuye himself."

"This..." Mu Changsheng and the other two were speechless. Although the Black Demon's move was an extremely obvious strategy to sow discord, it was indeed highly credible. As I said before, top-grade spirit stones would not appear out of thin air, and there were only a few families who could produce that amount of top-grade spirit stones.

"Do you know how ridiculous and ironic this is?" Mo Lianyue said with a half-crying and half-laughing tone: "Back then, the Black Demon once asked for help from Emperor Tianshui for the top-grade spirit stone, but Emperor Tianshui threatened that there were already enough demons in the world and there was no need for another Black Demon. Even those demons were unwilling to help the Black Demon, but You Wuye, who was hailed as the leader of the righteous path at the time, helped him and personally created a peerless demon."

Yang Wuque, who had been silent the whole time, asked: "How does You Wuye explain this?"

"Explain?" Mo Lianyue sneered, "He directly admitted that he gave the Black Demon the ultimate spirit stone, but when I asked him why he helped the Black Demon, he kept silent and only said that he was tricked by the Black Demon and that he had sworn a great oath to the inner demon. He couldn't explain it."

Mu Changsheng and the other two were speechless again. Although they already understood the cause and effect of the matter, there were still many mysteries that were difficult to decipher.

“Then have you ever thought, senior, that what You Wuye said might be true? He really was schemed by the Black Demon, and he really made a vow to his inner demon, so he cannot explain it.” Yang Wuque said softly.

"Of course I have thought about it." Mo Lianyue said calmly: "But no matter what, he was the one who gave the top-grade spirit stone to Black Demon, which indirectly caused the death of my father. For this reason alone, I will never forgive him."

Mo Lianyue suddenly stood up, turned her back to Mu Changsheng and the other two, and said with sadness: "Perhaps to you, Mo Xuansheng is just a name in history books. Compared with You Wushuang and Yang Wuji, this name is not even amazing enough. But to Qian Huan and me, he is my only father and Qian Huan's only master. There is only one in the world, and no one can replace him."
