Chapter 424: Chapter 424 Supreme Immortal Path (27)
“`
Boom—
A muffled sound came from above.
The ground was shaking along with it.
In the blood pool, the blood water splashed chaotically, and there seemed to be the sound of something heavy falling from the sky.
Looking up, several dark figures were descending rapidly.
A few members of the Divine Clan smashed down from the sky, landing around the blood pool.
“Xi Lan!” The first member of the Divine Clan to land, upon seeing Xi Lan, had an expression that turned stern as he chastised, “Where is Qing Xiao!?”
“Qing Xiao?” Du Hui had Xi Lan’s memories and knew who that was, his laugh carrying a hint of eeriness, “That foolish member of the Divine Clan.”
The remaining members of the Divine Clan also landed one after another, first surveying the situation on the scene with caution and quickly taking their respective sides.
Chuzheng and Black Fox were also here…
What has happened here?

The members of the Divine Clan were a bit bewildered.
But for the sake of their own interests, they couldn’t show any signs of fear or hesitation, no matter what had happened, they had to carry on staunchly.
“What did Xi Lan do to Qing Xiao?”
“We were really blind, misjudged people. Xi Lan, where did you take Qing Xiao? Hand him over quickly!”
Qing Xiao chased after Xi Lan and left.
At this moment, only seeing Xi Lan and not Qing Xiao, how could the members of the Divine Clan not be suspicious?
Du Hui stood by the blood pool with his hands behind his back, the female’s visage making the expression on his face seem incongruous.
“That member of the Divine Clan is not dead; you can rest assured.”
“You…” The member of the Divine Clan seemed to notice something off about ‘Xi Lan’s’ voice: “Who are you?”
This was not Xi Lan.
“Isn’t it clear what place this is?” Du Hui spread his arms wide: “Has time really made you forget the past?”
The members of the Divine Clan were genuinely a bit dumbfounded.
Xue Yuan rolled his eyes, “The Divine Clan has gone through quite a few generations, it would be strange if they recognized you.”
“Oh?” Du Hui seemed a bit surprised.
But then, thinking about the length of time he had been sealed, Du Hui quickly accepted this reality.
“Haven’t you ever heard the name Du Hui?”
The people from the Divine Clan immediately whispered to each other.
“Du Hui?”
“Who is that?”
“It seems… it seems like… it seems like a member of the Demon Clan.” One of the Divine Clan members spoke softly, “That Demon Clan member who was as notorious as Black Fox Xue Yuan was called Du Hui.”
Xue Yuan: “Bullshit!”
Du Hui: “Nonsense!”
Xue Yuan and Du Hui spoke out at the same time, exchanged glances, saw disdain in each other’s eyes, and simultaneously looked away.
The Divine Clan member who had spoken: “No… of course not.”
In history, the only famous person named Du Hui… was just this one.
Xue Yuan scratched the ground with his little paw, in defiance yelled loudly, “Who’s as notorious as him? What nonsense are you spouting? I am so much more powerful than him! Whom are you insulting?”
Du Hui: “You’re so powerful yet you don’t even have a human form?”
Xue Yuan: “What’s so good about a human’s body? My true form is quite fine!”
Du Hui: “Heh.”
Xue Yuan: “What are you ‘heh’-ing at?!”
Divine Clan: “…” Is that really the point?
Demon Clan, oh! The Ancient Demon Race!
Why are they appearing here?!
All of a sudden, Du Hui turned back and stared at Chuzheng: “The Divine Clan knows more about Ye Jiang’s affairs, why don’t you ask them.”
Divine Clan: “??”
What… should we know?
–
In ancient times, Ye Jiang was a very famous Supreme God who married Wan Qiong, the number one beauty of the Divine Clan during that era.
At that time, Evil Demons ran amok, and the smaller races were facing the crisis of extinction.
Ye Jiang led the Divine Clan in battle against the Evil Demons, protecting the weaker races.
“`
However, one day, Ye Jiang suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, the disappearance of Supreme God Wan Qiong was noted.
Ye Jiang’s disappearance caused chaos among the Divine Clan, and the Demon Clan seized the opportunity to launch an attack, resulting in heavy casualties for the Divine Clan.
By the time Ye Jiang reappeared, he seemed like a changed person, although he still fought for the Divine Clan. But his attitude towards the demons was no longer mild.
Every Evil Demon that died by his hand met a gruesome end.
Initially, the Divine Clan thought Ye Jiang’s hatred for the Evil Demons stemmed from the heavy blows and numerous casualties the Divine Clan had suffered during his absence.
However, before long, they discovered that Ye Jiang was secretly accumulating the power of Evil Demons.
It was only then that the Divine Clan realized Supreme God Wan Qiong had not shown her face since Ye Jiang’s return.
In the beginning, Ye Jiang acted covertly, but once the Divine Clan found out, he stopped hiding his actions.
No one knew what Ye Jiang was planning.
At that time, the Evil Demons themselves were terrified of encountering Ye Jiang.
Dying by his hand was far worse than falling at the hands of any other Divine Clan member.
“I didn’t do anything back then. It was Ye Jiang who relentlessly pursued me,” Little Fox said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his reddened eyes. “He was like a madman.”
Little Fox had no interest in the battle between the Divine Clan and the Evil Demons.
Chuzheng’s face was cold and emotionless, “So, what does this have to do with your power being inside me?”
Du Hui glanced at her, a wry smile curling the corner of his mouth.
Why hadn’t Supreme God Wan Qiong shown her face?
Because she’d been injured.
Moreover, she sustained injuries while with child.
Supreme God Wan Qiong insisted on giving birth to the child, but due to her injuries, she had almost no chance of delivering the child successfully.
Even if the child were to be born, it wouldn’t have survived for long.
It was for this child that Ye Jiang began to gather the power of the Evil Demons, trying to use it to save the child.
How to save the child became the biggest dilemma.
Ye Jiang somehow learned of a method—to fight poison with poison.
Supreme God Wan Qiong’s injuries had severely affected the fetus, which had been tainted with the aura of Evil Demons.
Therefore, it needed the aura of Evil Demons to nourish it.
At that time, even with a common enemy, the relationship between the Demon Clan and Evil Demons was not very harmonious.
Du Hui was the leader of the Demon Clan then.
Xue Yuan held a very high status within the Demon Clan, but since Xue Yuan was uninterested, another Great Demon led the clan.
Ye Jiang first sought out this Great Demon but soon realized it was no use.
Afterward, he turned to Xue Yuan.
But Xue Yuan had a quirky temperament and upon seeing Ye Jiang, he would beat him up first, then run away, with Ye Jiang unable to catch him.
Later, Ye Jiang discovered it was the Ancient Demon Race that had injured Supreme God Wan Qiong.
He needed the power of the Demon Clan.
Thus, Ye Jiang turned to Du Hui.
After the child was born, Ye Jiang used the Soul Gathering Lock to seal it so that no one could tell there was something wrong with the child.
The only side effect was slow progress in cultivation.
That persisted until the original owner used the Soul Gathering Lock to save Xi Lan.
With the Soul Gathering Lock shattered and the seal lifted, her heritage as the offspring of a Supreme God became apparent. Her talent wouldn’t be poor, and her strength began to spike rapidly.
Yet, the Demonic Qi remained dormant within her, undetected by anyone.
Now, with Du Hui’s appearance, that Demonic Qi, as though summoned, fully awakened.
“It’s my power that’s protecting you,” said Du Hui, his voice full of resentment. “Ye Jiang stole my power to give you life, and then he sealed me in this wretched place. You Divine Clan members pride yourselves on your lofty purity and your extraordinary righteousness—is this what you call justice?”
Chuzheng: “…”
The father of the original owner seemed quite formidable.
But I don’t belong with the Divine Clan.
With a dark look in his eyes, Du Hui swept his gaze over Chuzheng, “Now, it’s time to take back my power…”
A body nourished by his power would be more compatible with him.
This was all Ye Jiang owed him.
With a tap of his foot, Du Hui’s figure soared toward Chuzheng.
Bang!
“Xue Yuan, what are you doing!”
