Chapter 113: Demon Venerable Mother!
“How could that possibly be!”
“How could he possibly know how to refine artifacts!”
“No! That’s impossible!”
A thunderous roar filled Lu Tianying’s mind, and all color drained from his face.
Refining Dharma Artifacts in private was a capital offense!
Even the tools he and his subordinates used had to pass through the Demon Race’s control before they could be used.
Seeing Lu Tianying’s disgraceful display, the Demon Race Female Venerable finally revealed a look of disgust.
“Lu Tianying, do not forget your identity!”
“If not for the fact that This Venerable One still needs you to raise my son, do you think you would still be standing here?”
The Demon Race Female Venerable’s tone abruptly turned severe, and a chilling cold light burst from her eyes.
“Thud…”
Hearing the Female Demon Venerable’s furious shout, and that Demon Venerable pressure like a collapsing heaven, Lu Tianying’s knees buckled violently and he slammed to the ground.
“Venerable… Venerable One, spare my life…”
At this moment, Lu Tianying trembled all over, his face ghastly pale.
But in his heart, he hated Lu Qingyang even more.
If not for him, why would he have to be so humiliated?
“Hmph!”
The Female Venerable let out a cold snort and spoke slowly.
“Send my worthless son back to the Demon Race. Imprison him in the Demon Prison for a hundred years. Release him only after I step into mid-stage Great Vehicle.”
“As for you? Heh heh…”
A mocking look surfaced in the Female Demon Venerable’s eyes. She slowly stood up, looking down at Lu Tianying from above.
“I am not in the mood today.”
“Get lost!”
Hearing the Female Demon Venerable’s words, Lu Tianying’s sense of humiliation reached its peak.
He gritted his teeth, but in the end chose to leave.
He understood clearly that he was nothing but a plaything…
And Lu Qingyang, whose cultivation had now reached early-stage Soul Transformation, was still unaware that he had been exposed.
Just like the course of events in the Simulation, it was difficult to change!
Even though he had been sufficiently secretive.
But in this world dominated by the Demon Race, wanting to hide from the Demon Race was too difficult…
Several months later, Lu Qingyang was escorted back to the Myriad Fox Demon Race’s ancestral grounds by a squad of Void Return Demon Race cultivators.
In other words, the land of the race his biological mother belonged to.
“Haa… I never imagined I would fail to change this Simulation’s course.”
“This Return to True really is not simple…”
Looking at Zhou Ze’s city, thick with demonic qi, Lu Qingyang murmured to himself.
But his eyes showed not a trace of discouragement. Instead, they were brighter than ever.
Because after a hundred years of preaching and teaching, the Human Race of this world and the strength displayed in the Simulation at this moment were as different as heaven and earth!
Aside from being slightly inferior in high-end combat power, the overall strength crushed any tribe in the Simulation!
“Given my actions now, the Human Race’s fortune will definitely belong to me.”
“This Return to True reward — if I choose Human Race fortune again, then the me in reality would…”
Lu Qingyang’s eyes flickered.
Clearly, he had already decided what he wanted before Return to True even began.
No treasure, no matter how powerful; no pill, no matter how heaven-defying, was as precious as Human Race fortune!
What he had to do in this Return to True was support the Human Race, so that Human Race fortune would appear again in the Return to True rewards!
“It’s just that I do not know why I was sent to the Demon Race.”
“According to the Simulation, after I was exposed, I was also imprisoned within the Dao Grounds.”
“Could it be…”
As if something had occurred to him, Lu Qingyang could not help but narrow his eyes.
And soon, Lu Qingyang’s conjecture was confirmed.
He was brought into the most magnificent palace within this Demon Race city.
When Lu Qingyang drew closer, he discovered a tall woman with a powerful aura and an extremely beautiful face sitting in the seat of honor, eyes closed in rest.
Seeing Lu Qingyang, the woman opened her eyes. A faint blue light shone within them, making one’s heart tremble.
“Many years without seeing you, and you have already grown so big.”
The woman spoke slowly. Her words seemed warm, but hearing them, Lu Qingyang’s hair stood on end and alarm bells rang in his heart.
For some reason, he always felt that when she looked at him, it was like she was looking at some kind of tonic!
“You are…”
“This Venerable One is your mother.”
Before Lu Qingyang could finish asking, the woman spoke first.
As expected!
Hearing this, though Lu Qingyang had long suspected it, he could not help but draw a sharp breath.
This Female Demon Venerable was actually his mother!
This was just too horrifying!
“No, I remember my Family Background level was not this high. I start out as the son of a Great Vehicle Demon Venerable?”
Lu Qingyang could not help but swallow.
But before he could think further, his Demon Race mother spoke again.
“That worthless father of yours has no ability, but he did give birth to you for me.”
“All these years, you have suffered.”
The Female Demon Venerable said indifferently. Her tone was calm, without the slightest ripple.
In her eyes was something more like anticipation.
Yes, Lu Qingyang could see it. It was anticipation!
“All these years, the mistakes you made helping the Human Race must have been because of that worthless father of yours. But This Venerable One is magnanimous. As long as you reflect on your mistakes in seclusion for a hundred years.”
“After a hundred years, This Venerable One will return your freedom.”
“By then, you may leave as you please. This Venerable One will absolutely not stop you!”
The Female Demon Venerable spoke slowly, but her steps forward grew more excited with each word.
This is definitely a trap!
A hundred years from now, the day I leave prison will probably be the day I die!
Lu Qingyang was not without experience.
First, he was a human-demon hybrid. By rights, he should be unwelcome among both the Demon Race and the Human Race.
But that human-traitor father of his, though he looked down on him, did not dare mistreat him.
This was certainly because of this Demon Venerable Mother.
And this Demon Venerable Mother of his certainly would not be doing this because she liked him, missed him, or was suddenly overcome with kindness.
“Rumor has it the Demon Race has a secret technique. Devouring one’s offspring can increase cultivation. Could it be that they are keeping me alive for exactly that?!”
Lu Qingyang’s heart pounded wildly, but in the next instant, he seemed to think of something.
No, according to the Simulation, I lived nearly eight hundred years. There must be some other turn of events.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyang felt slightly reassured. At the very least, a hundred years from now, there should be no threat to his life.
And the Female Venerable also seemed to have forcefully suppressed the desire in her heart, stopping her steps.
“Someone, take… this human to the clan’s heavenly prison.”
“Release him after a hundred years.”
As the Female Demon Venerable’s words fell, several Void Return great demons in human form walked over, bowed respectfully, and took Lu Qingyang away.
Watching Lu Qingyang’s departing figure, the Myriad Fox Demon Venerable’s lips curved into a strange smile, as if looking at some kind of tonic.
“At most another hundred years and I will step into mid-stage Great Vehicle. By then, my good son…”
“Do not disappoint This Venerable One.”
“With your help, This Venerable One will become the Myriad Fox Clan’s only late-stage Great Vehicle!”
Thinking this, excitement surged in the Female Demon Venerable’s eyes once more.
But just then, a transmission spell suddenly flew in from outside.
The Female Demon Venerable’s expression immediately turned cold. She waved her hand and dispersed the transmission spell, releasing its message.
“A Human Race tribe beneath the Myriad Fox Clan’s territory has produced a Great Vehicle cultivator. Come suppress the rebellion immediately!”
