Chapter 150

Yun Mo received a summons from the Demon Ancestor. Originally curious about why the Demon Ancestor wanted to see him, he soon sensed a strange fluctuation in the air.

He was stunned for a moment, then alarms blared in his mind: "Enemy attack!! Damn it, those humans, how did they find the entrance to the Demon Realm? Are those Heaven Demons just useless?!"

Yun Mo decisively took out the summoning treasure to call all the subordinates of the Demon Realm, leading them rushing into the Demon Ancestor’s chamber: "Demon Ancestor!!"

Luo Hou was still pondering where things went wrong thousands of years ago. If that human wasn’t lying, could it be that his own subordinates were lying?

Has the demon race’s nature of worshiping the strong and obeying their orders unconditionally been broken?

He refused to believe it.

However, immediately, the fierce demon army breaking into his chamber dispelled that thought.

Luo Hou was furious: "Are you rebelling?!"

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind. If his subordinates weren’t as loyal as he thought, and the great war between gods and demons thousands of years ago, as well as everything after his awakening, were all mixed with lies, then everything seemed to make sense.

Thinking about how he had once solemnly guaranteed to Ke Xingzhou that his subordinates would never deceive or hide anything, Luo Hou felt a burning heat on his face, as if he had been slapped hard.

And the one slapping him was none other than the subordinate he had always trusted unconditionally!

Luo Hou’s expression darkened. The terrifying aura belonging to the Demon Ancestor suddenly spread, directly blowing away the opposing demon army.

Yun Mo, caught off guard, stumbled and nearly rolled away but showed no resentment. Instead, he knelt devoutly on one knee and loudly reported, "Demon Ancestor! The humans are attacking!"

Luo Hou: "?"

"What?!" Luo Hou immediately stood up.

He had been lost in his own thoughts before. Moreover, the Demon Realm had existed for countless millennia without ever being discovered or invaded by other races, so he had made no preparations for this.

Now, sensing carefully, he realized the barrier of the Demon Realm had indeed been breached.

The entrance opened by the other side was even larger and more regular than the one he had previously opened.

Luo Hou: "..."

Impossible!

No matter how tolerant he was towards Ke Xingzhou because of their past relationship, he still held little goodwill toward the human race.

Moreover, the enemy now was so brazen as to directly break into the Demon Realm!Luo Hou’s face darkened, and Yun Mo immediately angrily accused, “It must be those two humans and that damn spirit artifact that brought them here! Humans truly are as insidious as they were ten thousand years ago. Demon Ancestor! I request to fight, let me kill all those damn humans!”

Luo Hou: “...”

For some reason, ever since Ke Xingzhou said the demon race had a low level of culture, he had paid special attention to this matter. Hearing Yun Mo’s words now, it seemed indeed unnecessary to use complicated terms.

For a moment, his mood became somewhat complicated, and even his desire to denounce humans lessened.

He neither agreed nor disagreed, lifted his foot, and led his people toward a remote palace.

After staying in the Demon Realm for a while, his demon power slowly recovered. Luo Hou quickly appeared in the remote palace with his subordinates.

The demon army was imposing, originally expecting to face a similarly tense human army, but upon arrival, there was only one human present, looking dazed and not very strong.

That said, the formalities still had to be observed.

Yun Mo angrily scolded, “Despicable humans, how did you find the entrance to the Demon Realm? How dare you directly break into the Demon King’s palace! Do you want to start a war with the demon race?”

At this moment, Zhu Chu’s brain was overloaded. He hadn’t yet processed the reality that his master and junior brother were together, so he didn’t react when someone spoke.

After a long while, until Yun Mo almost thought this human was deliberately provoking him, Zhu Chu finally came to his senses and turned his head toward the demon army.

It must be said, demons indeed have a huge innate advantage. The entire race averages nearly two meters tall; even underage demons are at least 1.6 meters tall, plus every demon has strong muscles. A group of demons together is visually very imposing.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Chu couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ah!”

Yun Mo smelled a familiar scent of fear and proudly lifted his chin, thinking, "Foolish humans, finally realizing the demons’ strength!"

But then Zhu Chu stepped back several paces, closed his eyes, and turned his face away: “So ugly. Don’t come near me, I just ate!”

Yun Mo: “...”

Yun Mo was furious. Their demons were all tall and mighty—how were they ugly?!

Why was human aesthetic so twisted?!

Zhu Chu seemed to have obtained some critical information from the current scene, looking complicatedly at the master and junior brother still hugging without any intention to let go: “…I think I suddenly understand you guys a bit.”

Ke Xingzhou: “?”

Nie Chen: “...”

Zhu Chu looked at the appearances of the master and junior brother and felt his eyes had been redeemed, increasingly finding their behavior reasonable.

Facing a room full of bizarre-looking fellows, most of whom did not conform to human aesthetics, even a blind person would choose to stick with familiar people nearby!

Zhu Chu imagined some kind of humiliating yet chaotic scene and suddenly looked at Ke Xingzhou and Nie Chen with reverence.

Ke Xingzhou: “??”

Nie Chen: “...........”

Fortunately, at this moment, Lian Cheng, who had sealed his five senses, finally realized something was wrong, broke his own restriction, rushed in, and immediately recognized the huge gate-like passage in mid-air as opened by the Ghost Gate.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes—he hadn’t expected the Ghost Gate to locate the Demon Realm. Then he realized that since the Ghost Gate appeared here, something serious must have happened in the human world.He grabbed Zhu Chu, who still had tears in his eyes over the sacrifice of his master and junior brother, and asked, “What happened?”

Only then did Zhu Chu come to his senses: “Oh, right! Master, junior brother, you must come back with me quickly. The human world is in chaos!”

“What?”

Nie Chen and Lian Cheng both frowned, their first reaction was to check on Luo Hou.

Luo Hou: “?”

“What are you looking at me for?” Luo Hou was annoyed. “I’m already in the Demon Realm. Can I still command the demons in the human world to cause chaos from afar?”

Because of what happened ten thousand years ago, Lian Cheng obviously didn’t trust him much: “You can give orders in advance.”

This sentence immediately struck a nerve with Luo Hou, and he laughed angrily: “Fine, fine, I’ll give orders in advance. So, in your opinion, pulling Ke Xingzhou into the Demon Realm is also a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain?”

Lian Cheng remained silent.

Luo Hou suddenly realized that this guy really thought that way, and was so angry he nearly fell backward. Originally intending to find out the truth and understand what really happened ten thousand years ago, now he completely gave up on the idea.

“Fine, if you all think like that, if I don’t do as you say, wouldn’t I be betraying your ‘kind intentions’?” Luo Hou snorted coldly.

When the demon subordinates heard this, they immediately excitedly howled, eager to charge with him to the human world for a fight.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!!”

“Humans fear Demon Luo! The Demon Ancestor will rule the Three Realms!”

Yun Mo was so happy he cried tears of joy. The Demon Ancestor finally saw the true faces of those humans.

He stepped forward and shouted a challenge: “Indeed, whether ten thousand years ago or now, humans’ despicable and insidious nature has not changed! Ten thousand years ago you slandered us to provoke the war between gods and demons, and now, without needing you to say more, we will lead a hundred thousand demon troops to trample your human world!”

After speaking, he glanced up at the two-realm passage opened by the Ghost Gate in its true form. With great pride, he did not go through the Ghost Gate to the human world, but instead mobilized his own demon power to tear open a new spatial rift.

—Two meters long, one meter wide, just enough for one demon to pass through.

Ke Xingzhou and the others: “...”

Luo Hou: “...”

Placed beside the Ghost Gate, this rift really looked shabby. Not only Ke Xingzhou and the others, even Luo Hou as the ruler of the Demon Realm felt a bit embarrassed to look at it.

But since he just awakened and had only opened a spatial passage once, he had no strength left to tear open a new channel again. He could only turn a blind eye and silently allow Yun Mo to lead many demon subordinates to squeeze through the narrow rift.

During this, a trampling incident almost broke out; the demons nearly started fighting among themselves.

Ke Xingzhou looked at Luo Hou, hesitating to speak: “...”

Luo Hou: “............”

This was too embarrassing to continue. Luo Hou could no longer endure it and was about to get angry, when Zhu Chu suddenly slapped his thigh: “No, listen to me! This matter isn’t much related to the demons. It’s the Star Lodge! The Star Lodge has reappeared in the human world!!”Human world, Gu family.

Cultivators and divine beasts from various realms anxiously guarded beside the Ghost Gate, warily watching the suddenly appearing spatial rift. The atmosphere was tense.

The disciple Ke Xingzhou had taken in proved somewhat useful; with his help, the Ghost Gate successfully pinpointed Ke Xingzhou’s location and smoothly opened the passage between the human world and the Demon Realm.

But it was obvious that the Demon Realm would never allow two humans and Lian Cheng to roam freely there, so they had prepared for battle in advance.

When the first demon emerged from the rift, the battle was about to erupt. The divine beasts spontaneously charged forward and engaged the demons rushing out, while the rest defended and anxiously watched the Ghost Gate.

The space inside the Ghost Gate trembled, visible ripples appeared in the air, and then a figure stepped out into the human world—

A demon!

Everyone’s hearts turned cold, unable to help but imagine the worst. Why hadn’t Lian Cheng and Ke Xingzhou appeared? Could it be that they had already…

The current human world’s spiritual energy was depleted. Apart from the ghost and demon clans, only Ke Xingzhou and Lian Cheng among humans could participate in battles of this scale.

Had they sent the Ghost Gate to locate the Demon Realm at all costs, only to still be one step too late?

Everyone—humans, ghosts, and demons alike—staggered slightly, their faces paling.

Duan Changsheng felt a sudden chill in his heart. In panic, he kicked the Ghost Gate: “What’s going on? You were supposed to receive people! How did you let demons through?”

The Ghost Gate was suddenly kicked and was utterly baffled.

“I did receive them! The demons were what they wanted to let through, I just followed orders,” it mumbled aggrievedly. “Besides, you didn’t say not to let demons through before…”

Duan Changsheng was stunned.

“They” wanted to let them through? Who? Lian Cheng?

Impossible.

Ten thousand years ago, after Ke Xingzhou’s death and destruction of body and soul, Lian Cheng suffered the most. It was not an exaggeration to say he hated the demons deeply. He had followed the demons and barely survived countless battles; how could he allow demons to return to the human world again?

Yet no matter how much he disbelieved, it was useless. Moments later, several figures appeared again inside the Ghost Gate.

This time the figures were much more familiar — it was Ke Xingzhou and the others.

With them was Luo Hou.

Luo Hou’s gaze swept across the suddenly on-high-alert cultivators of the human, ghost, and demon clans. His face no longer showed anger or frustration but instead a condescending scorn and mockery.

Duan Changsheng was stunned and immediately leaned close to Lian Cheng to whisper, “How did you bring this disaster back? In such a short time, have you forgotten all your grudges with a smile?”

Lian Cheng gave him a blank glance, then turned his head toward Ke Xingzhou.

“All blind,” Duan Changsheng instantly understood. “Ke Xingzhou told you? No, didn’t you tell him what happened in his past life? There’s no way he could forgive his enemies!”

Lian Cheng was silent for a moment, then raised his head toward the distance, furrowing his brow: “...Told them to stop fighting.”

Duan Changsheng: “Why not fight? Why not take advantage of their smaller numbers now? If you wait until the demons grow in number, it’ll be impossible to win!”

Others might not know, but as one of the few lucky survivors from ten thousand years ago, Duan Changsheng knew well how terrifying the demons were as opponents. Their strength was formidable, and on top of that, they possessed unparalleled healing abilities.If it weren't for Ke Xingzhou sacrificing himself to complete the seal, over the past ten thousand years, the other three clans would have been the ones sealed or enslaved.

Duan Changsheng looked up at the dark, cloudy sky and sighed deeply: "The demons were already hard enough to fight ten thousand years ago. Now they've allied with the Star Clan; this battle will probably be even tougher..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold laugh came from beside him: "Hmph."

Duan Changsheng turned his head and saw that the one who spoke was indeed Luo Hou.

He thought to himself, "Hah, the demons have been suppressed for ten thousand years and yet still so arrogant. Their magic power is depleted, and they dare to provoke us? Do they really think there’s no one left in the other three realms?"

Duan Changsheng rolled up his sleeves, ready to have a fight with Luo Hou, but was stopped by Lian Cheng.

"Lian Cheng, don’t stop me. I have to fight him today. If they want to rule the human world, they have to ask my fists first!"

Lian Cheng: "...Shut up, he’s here to help."

Duan Changsheng: "Ah, right, right, help us get possessed, become their caged slaves and food! How did you also get brainwashed by them? Didn't the artifact spirits say they can't be corrupted by demons—oh wait, they almost got possessed at the Ghost Gate."

Ghost Gate: "..."

Lian Cheng: "...No."

Lian Cheng was silent for a moment, then turned his face away and took a deep breath, speaking with difficulty: "The Star Clan’s matter has nothing to do with them. The demons are here to help us quell the chaos."

Duan Changsheng: "?"

Two disciples went to contact the relevant departments and Assistant Liu separately. Ke Xingzhou took the opportunity to sneak over and nodded to the mentally frozen Duan Changsheng: "I barely convinced them, it cost a lot. Don’t waste the demonic energy for me."

Duan Changsheng: "?????"

Ke Xingzhou completely didn’t sense Duan Changsheng’s confusion. Watching the endless demons crawling out of the rift, he thought, “It really cost a lot to get these hundred thousand demons registered and employed.”

He wondered if the ghost house players’ bit of fear would be enough to feed so many demons!
