Chapter 1665: Chapter 725: The Demon Ancestor’s Past

The Golden Horn Demon King pondered for a while and finally spoke.

"I can cooperate with you, but on one condition, after success, you must protect the Golden Horn Tribe."

The Golden Horn Demon King hadn’t realized that after being refined by the Shishen, the demon evil energy in his body weakened considerably. Subconsciously, he had begun to obey Ye Lingyue’s commands, but psychologically he couldn’t accept that he had actually submitted to a member of the Human Clan.

But making him completely extinguish his demonic nature wouldn’t be accomplished overnight, Ye Lingyue was in no hurry.

"I can agree to this condition. Moreover, I can make you the only Demon King in the Central Plains region," Ye Lingyue said confidently.

"Is that true? Do you really have that capability? You’re not even the Alliance Hierarch of the Jiu Provinces Alliance."

The Golden Horn Demon King felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this.

To become the only Demon King in the Central Plains region would mean being the Central Plains King.

Although he was also a Demon King, compared to the several established Demon Kings in the Demon World, the Golden Horn Demon King became one by chance after consuming the Senluo Fruit.

In the eyes of those Demon Kings, the Golden Horn Demon King clearly was unqualified, always being excluded by them.

Helpless, the Golden Horn Demon King had no choice but to lead his tribe to the Central Plains region to become a Demon King.

The Central Plains region, though vast and strategic, was next to the Ancient Nine Provinces, constantly battling the demon hunters of the Jiu Provinces Alliance, suffering heavy losses. It was both exhausting and a bitter task for the Golden Horn Demon King, especially with the presence of Demon King Tongtian.

Managing a demon road by two clans was very frustrating.

The Golden Horn Demon King originally wanted to use the matter of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King to make a breakthrough, even if he couldn’t become a Demon Emperor, he could at least defeat Demon King Tongtian and unite the Central Plains region.

Unfortunately, halfway through, this human disrupted all his plans.

Thinking about it, the Golden Horn Demon King couldn’t help but reflect.

The Senluo Ghost Fruit King had already fallen into this human woman’s hands; how did it end up with Demon King Tongtian? There must be deception in this.

Even though he had been with Ye Lingyue for only a few days, the Golden Horn Demon King had seen enough of her methods and didn’t want to offend her again.

Thinking about the fate of that old fox Tongtian, which would be worse than his own, he couldn’t help but feel pleased being allies with this human, coughing slightly.

"What exactly did you do to Demon King Tongtian?" The Golden Horn Demon King asked impatiently.

"That’s not something you need to worry about. You just need to know that I can help you fend off the attacks from the Tongtian Tribe. There’s no time to lose; first, tell me who your trusted subordinates in the Golden Horn Tribe are. I’ll need their assistance to eliminate the traitors first, then strike while Demon King Tongtian is unprepared."

So the Golden Horn Demon King roughly told Ye Lingyue about the situation in the Golden Horn Tribe and gave Ye Lingyue a token. His old subordinates, seeing the token, would follow Ye Lingyue’s orders.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingyue would inform the Golden Horn Tribe of some sneak attacks from the Tongtian Tribe ahead of time, making it convenient to gather information with Little Wuya as a spy in the Tongtian Tribe.

"I’ll send out your token. By the way, did you know Di Shen before?"

Ye Lingyue had heard from Di Shen that the Golden Horn Demon King seemed surprised to see him.

Di Shen also had a vague impression of the Golden Horn Demon King but wasn’t clear; evidently, the Golden Horn Demon King knew Di Shen in the past.

Ye Lingyue was curious about Di Shen’s past, not bothering to investigate but simply wanting to know more about someone she liked, even if it was something from hundreds of years ago.

However, the whereabouts of Yan Jiu, the only one who knew about Di Shen’s past, remained unknown, and the little demons she encountered before did not recognize Di Shen.

The Golden Horn Demon King before her was, to date, the only one Ye Lingyue had met who knew about Di Shen’s past, and she naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity to inquire.

She wanted to know what kind of person Di Shen was over five hundred years ago, after all, until now, she knew he was a demon, a Demon Ancestor, and nothing more.

The Golden Horn Demon King hadn’t expected Ye Lingyue to know nothing about Di Shen’s past.

Thinking again, the demon clan’s rebirth seemed to have caused him to forget many things, possibly even his cultivation was not as before, otherwise, fearing that when facing the Demon Ancestor, with the temperament of the Demon Ancestor in the past, he would never have survived.

"Human Clan, over five hundred years ago, I was not a Demon King yet and only had a passing encounter with the Demon Ancestor. I know nothing of the Demon Ancestor’s affairs."

The Jin Family’s Demon King was being evasive.

Just as he finished speaking, a fire wall suddenly shot up.

The Golden Horn Demon King cried out in pain from the heat inside.

"Stop! You woman, why are you so fickle? Didn’t we agree to cooperate?"

The Golden Horn Demon King looked desolate.

He was both curious and terrified of Ye Lingyue’s mysterious Gray Fire.

Despite being an ordinary "White Fire," this Gray Fire’s power was more terrifying than any Mutant Fire the Golden Horn Demon King had ever seen.

"Not only am I fickle, but I also hate people lying to me the most. I don’t necessarily need you to take down the Tongtian Tribe. What I have here is called Ice Frost Dew; just a few drops on a wound will turn you, whether Demon King or stone, into rust water. Do you want to try it?"

Ye Lingyue said and casually poured out a few drops of Ice Frost Dew.

Indeed, the stone next to her quickly corroded.

Ye Lingyue exaggerated the effect of Ice Frost Dew, but the Golden Horn Demon King had been tortured for so many days and already had an instinctive fear of Ye Lingyue.

"Wait, wait, let’s talk about this. I do know some things about the Demon Ancestor," the Golden Horn Demon King was sweating profusely.

"Then be smart and stop playing tricks in front of me."

Ye Lingyue snorted coldly.

"What is your relationship with the Demon Ancestor?"

The Golden Horn Demon King was dying of curiosity, given the past temperament of the Demon Ancestor, not to mention his most disliked Human Clan. He never showed a good face even to the demon clan.

He actually cooperated with a member of the Human Clan. If this were brought to the Demon World, it would be explosive news.

"He is my dual cultivation partner."

Ye Lingyue replied casually.

"Cough, cough." The Golden Horn Demon King nearly choked on his saliva.

Dual cultivation partner?!

Wouldn’t that mean this member of the Human Clan was the Demon Ancestor’s woman?

And not just in the ordinary sense, but as a dual cultivation partner.

Humans and demons differ; while the demon clan is bloodthirsty and violent, in terms of defining partners, they follow much of the Beast Clan’s instincts. They can have temporary companions of different surnames, but only one deserves the title of partner.

Like the two major Demon Emperors in the Demon World, excluding the single and lone Beiyu Emperor, the South Nether Emperor has had only one partner for hundreds of years, which is the Demon Empress.

Thinking about the Demon Ancestor’s face, unparalleled among demons, and then looking at Ye Lingyue...
