The secret letter of the Demon King Duan Yan?

What does he want to tell her?

Lin Xiaotang took the letter from the demon cultivator’s hand and felt the powerful Qi contained in it.

Before she could do anything, the black cat beside her pricked up its ears and made a series of meows.

“Meow meow meow meow!”

Lin Xiaotang tilted her head and saw Duan Xiao standing there by baring his teeth at the secret letter in her hand.

His golden cat eyes were full of disgust and resistance to Duan Yan.

After learning that Duan Yan sent a letter to Lin Xiaotang, Duan Xiao’s first reaction was that Duan Yan came to find him.

But he didn’t want to go back at all.

Although Lin Xiaotang turned him into a cat and brought him with her, Duan Xiao felt humiliated.

But he have to say that Lin Xiaotang didn’t hurt him at all in the past three days.

Moreover, Lin Xiaotang set up such a huge trial and played with the immortal cultivators which he also witnessed it with his own eyes.

Such a powerful girl, let alone turning him into a cat, even if he was shot to death, Duan Xiao couldn’t have any resistance.

Just like his mother, wasn’t she was casually killed by Duan Yan?

How can there be so much truth in this world?

For Lin Xiaotang, rather than disgust, he was more afraid of Lin Xiaotang’s powerful strength.

But he really hated Duan Yan.

Compared to Duan Yan, he was more willing to stay by Lin Xiaotang’s side, even if he was a cat.

Looking at the secret letter, the black cat’s hair exploded and there was a threatening sound in his throat.

At this moment, a hand appeared on top of his head and patted his head gently.

The movement of that hand was gentle, not so much as to comfort him.

It’s Lin Xiaotang.

… Is she touching his head?

Feeling the girl’s cool fingers, she slowly rubbed his head. The black cat, who had grown up in cold violence since childhood, was stunned for a moment and became stiff.

Lin Xiaotang didn’t know Duan Xiao’s inner activities but looking at his behaviour, she could still see that he hated Duan Yan.

In this regard, she who has seen the plot can understand. After all, how can there be such a father.

Looking at the restless black cat, she patted his head soothingly to calm him down.

Then she opened the letter.

With a brief glance, Lin Xiaotang found out that the general content of the secret letter sent by Duan Yan was to ask her to immediately evacuate from the secret realm and bring Duan Xiao back to the main city of the Demon Realm to find him.

Yes, Duan Yan finally found out that his cheap son was missing after Duan Xiao disappeared for 3-4 days. 

He asked her to bring Duan Xiao back, because he knew that Duan Xiao had fallen into Lin Xiaotang’s hands.

However, the purpose of Duan Yan by sending this letter to 

Lin Xiaotang was not because of Duan Xiao.

.

He did this mainly to deter Lin Xiaotang.

Since Lin Xiaotang became the Demon Lord of Chi Cheng, it always made Duan Yan feel very subtle.

A girl of unknown origin suddenly appeared in the demon world and easily defeated the previous Demon Lord Chi Cheng that he carefully selected and took the place of the Demon Lord without any hindrance.

That’s okay but after Lin Xiaotang took over as the demob lord, she acted as if he didn’t exist as a Demon King and she didn’t express her loyalty to him as a Demon Lord at all.

After that, Lin Xiaotang even took his subordinates directly into the cultivation world without making a single announcement.

No one knew what she was going to do, no one could guess what plans she had.

This uncontrollable and unpredictable existence made Duan Yan feel quite uncomfortable.

Although this matter was not a big deal, he also felt that it was time to make use of the topic.

So, after Lin Xiaotang brought someone into the mysterious realm of Xuanyue, Duan Yan sent a secret letter asking Lin Xiaotang to leave the Xiuxian realm and come to him.

On the one hand, he wanted to see Lin Xiaotang’s loyalty to him  and also wanted to take this opportunity to test Lin Xiaotang’s temperament and ability.

As a result, neither Duan Yan nor the demon cultivator beside her expected it. After reading the secret letter, Lin Xiaotang just gave a faint “Oh” and said, “Don’t worry about him.”

This “he” obviously refers to Duan Yan.

She didn’t see Duan Yan’s temptation, she just felt that she was too lazy to pay attention to him.

“Demon Lord, this is the Demon King,” the demon cultivator who delivered the letter was stunned and quickly persuaded, “If you really can’t get away, just arrange a few more people here?”

Lin Xiaotang did not agree: “I will find him later.”

The trial was made with her special energy and she could only handle this by herself and there was no way to find someone to replace her.

For her, it was more important to capture the power of fear in here.

After listening to Lin Xiaotang’s words, the magic cultivators looked at each other and hesitated.

Even Duan Xiao looked up at her from time to time.

Although Duan Xiao was afraid of Lin Xiaotang. In comparison, the Demon King Duan Yan was definitely stronger.

Lin Xiaotang dares to perfunctory the Demon King like this… Is she really not worried about the revenge of the Demon King?

Unsurprisingly, Lin Xiaotang’s ignorance successfully angered Duan Yan.

It didn’t take long for his second secret letter to be sent and the tone and wording were much harsher and even threatening words were used in some places.

Being interrupted over and over again, even Lin Xiaotang felt impatient.

Looking at this provocative letter, there was finally a wave in her dark black phoenix eyes.

“Interesting, it’s still up to me,” Lin Xiaotang smiled slightly and said slowly, “Demon Lord… You say if I kill Duan Yan, can I become the Demon King?”

For Duan Yan, Lin Xiaotang already had the intention to kill.

He didn’t come to see her for more than a month in the past, but at this time he threatening her to go back….. Doesn’t this mean he is deliberately making things difficult for her??

In order to complete the mission, she already planned to not to keep this person alive, but seeing him actively courting death, she might as well fulfill his wish earlier.

Anyway, the energy she has accumulated this month is almost enough and her ability is naturally different from magic.

What, what?!

Is the Demon Lord of Chicheng going to kill the Demon King? Is she kidding?!

Hearing these outrageous words, the surrounding demon cultivators were horrified and some even nearly lost their footing.

Under such circumstances, they were trembling and no one dared to answer.

No one knows whether Lin Xiaotang’s casual remarks just now were just casual remarks, or whether she was saying the truth.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaotang was not going to force them to answer.

How the Demon King is selected, what does it have to do with her. Let those demon cultivators in charge of the demon realm worry about it.

The horror escape game trial she arranged in the Xuanyue Mysterious Realm is almost complete.

A complete trial should be able to run on its own.

Because she was not sure about Bai Lian’er’s situation so Lin Xiaotang thought for a while and instead of letting the trial send her out, she left her in the trial, while ready to come back to torture her after the matter was resolved.

After that, she moved again and dealt with some of the last questions in the trial.

After doing all this, Lin Xiaotang stood up and carried the stunned black cat beside her.

Her eyes were aimed at the golden cat’s eyes and she said lightly, “Do you want revenge?”

Duan Xiao looked at her and nodded without hesitation.

“That’s good,” Lin Xiaotang said, “I’ll give you a chance to kill him.”

………..

On the other side, thousands of miles away, in the Taiqing Sect, the Sect Master of the Taiqing Sect recalled the news just received and his face became more and more serious.

Below his position, the elders of the Taiqing Sect looked at each other in dismay and no one dared to say a word.

Since the new Demon Lord of Chicheng of the Demon Realm took over, the Cultivation Realm has been using various means to inquire about the new Demon Lord.

Chicheng is the closest to the world of comprehension and any troubles may bring a crisis to the world of comprehension, so they have always been cautious when dealing with Chicheng.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, one can be invincible in hundred battles. As enemies, the immortal cultivators and the demon cultivators will do similar things.

As a result, no one expected that when the specific news of the new demon master came, the Sect Master of the Taiqing Sect became furious and invited all the elders here.

Especially Elder Lin, who has always been marginalized in the Taiqing sect, the sect master actually angrily called him over.

But when Elder Lin Qing arrived, the  Sect Master of theTaiqing Sect Master directly threw the matching sword in his hand: “Lin Qing, you really have a good apprentice!”

The fact that Chicheng’s new demon lord turned out to be Lin Xiaotang, who was a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, made the Sect Master furious!

As one of the three major sects of Taiqing Sect, it is already very subtle that there can be a magic cultivator in the sect.

If that Demon Cultivator is the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, it would be a shame for the sect!

When Elder Lin was scolded, he was still very confused and didn’t know what happened.

After the Sect Master revealed the matter, Elder Lin became even more stunned and repeatedly shouted: “How is it possible, the former Demon Lord of Chicheng was in the middle of the Nascent Soul stage and my disciple was only in the early stage of foundation building, how can she have such a great ability?”

“Yeah,” the elder also testified, “Lin Xiaotang’s her bone age had already been checked when she entered the school. She is only a teenager. Even if she is a person who was inserted by a demon cultivator, she would have to practice for hundreds of years to be able to do so. Even of she was in the Nascent Soul stage, will she fight against the previous Demon Lord Chicheng?”

“This is not necessarily true. Some high-level instruments can hide her power and bone age.”

After hearing this, another elder retorted: “Maybe she was a demon cultivator in the Nascent soul stage who disguised and deliberately sneaked into our sect.”

“That’s right.”

“Those demons cultivators from the Nascent Soul stage seem to be still in the demon world now, don’t they? Is there anyone who can match Lin Xiaotang?”

The elders were talking a lot, but most of them were convinced that Lin Xiaotang must be the old demon disguised as a child and infiltrated the Taiqing Sect.

After all, no matter how talented a person is, it is impossible to defeat a demon lord in their teens.

It’s just that there are very few female demon cultivators in Nascent Soul stage. No matter how they look, they can’t find the right one.

Could it be that this is still a demon cultivator living in seclusion in the deep mountains?

Is there such a thing as magic?

Just as they were speculating, Lin Xiaotang’s original master, Elder Lin suddenly stood up and said hesitantly, “Lin Xiaotang…she’s not some kind of old monster.”

“How do you prove it?” asked the Sect Master of the Taiqing Sect.

“I found her in the farmland of the mortal world. Because she was a baby girl, she was abandoned by her parents after she was born,” Elder Lin said. With her hair and blood, I eventually found her parents.”

After speaking, he paused: “I still have the hair and blood of her parents here. They are all mortals.”

Parental kinship represents a cultivator’s mortal relationship and it is a very special existence.

If Lin Xiaotang is really a demon cultivator, then even if she can become a child, it is difficult for her parents to fake it.

Especially when the fake “parents” are all mortals.

Because the body of a mortal cannot withstand the transformation of demonic energy at all.

As Lin Xiaotang’s former teacher, her hair and blood is naturally present in the sect.

Hearing what Elder Lin said, the sect master hurriedly sent someone down to get the blood from her life card and check it with the mortal blood provided by Elder Lin.

After careful review by several elders, they finally confirmed that they really have the relationship between parents and daughter.

Even if the elders check many times, they didn’t find the slightest bit of daemonic power in it.

In the face of this result, the atmosphere of the entire Taiqingzong hall became more solemn.

Even the Supreme Elder, who has always been indifferent, showed an unbelievable look.

Is Lin Xiaotang really not a demon cultivator in disguise?

How is this possible?!

Considering Lin Xiaotang’s age, her mortal parents might still be alive.

After thinking about it, the sect master sent several elders to take a look at the mortal world.

And the results that the elders brought back were quite shocking.

There is nothing different, those two mortals are Lin Xiaotang’s parents and there are obvious similarities of them on Lin Xiaotang’s face.

In front of the iron-like facts, everyone was silent.

This shows that Lin Xiaotang is indeed not some old Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator, but really a teenage girl.

At the same time, she is also a powerful cultivator who can easily kill a Nascent Soul stage Demon Cultivator in her teens.

What kind of existence will she be?

Could she be the reincarnation of a legendary immortal, who was only recently seriously injured and only regained her memory when she was on the verge of death?

And she was still practicing in the Taiqing Zongmen before.

It was just a few days ago that she was directly abandoned by the sect after she fell into the demon mist abyss.

They gave up such a disciple with a great future and also lost a peerless opportunity that had been handed to them for more than ten years.

Even, they may have forged a big feud because of this.

For a time, everyone’s psychology has an unspeakable sense of absurdity.

Among all the elders, Elder Bai who was Bai Lian’er’s father, became even more pale.

Others don’t know how Lin Xiaotang fell into the demon mist abyss, but doesn’t he know?

She was clearly pushed down by his own daughter!

Thinking of his daughter’s investigation into Lin Xiaotang before Lin Xiaotang’s accident and also asking him if he could help her get a place in the Xuanyue Mysterious Realm, Elder Bai’s cold sweat was about to break down.

No, he had to find a way to let the Sect Master and the others deal with Lin Xiaotang before this matter was exposed!

“Even if Lin Xiaotang used to be a disciple of our Taiqing Sect, she has already became a demon cultivator and is the enemy of our immortal cultivators.” After thinking for a while, Elder Bai sorted out the words and said, “The sect gave up on her, she will definitely harbor resentment and this situation is quite detrimental to the Taiqing Sect.”

After hearing this, the Sect Master of Taiqing Sect turned his eyes: “What do you mean?”

“The last Demon Lord of Chicheng was said to have been chosen by the Demon King Duan Yan himself and he was Duan Yan’s confidant. If Lin Xiaotang killed him so rashly, Duan Yan would definitely be dissatisfied.”

Facing the Sect Master’s gaze, Elder Bai looked indifferent on the surface and said calmly, “The Demon King Duan Yan has always been domineering, dictatorial, ruthless and suspicious and Lin Xiaotang has just assumed the role of Demon Lord and the forces around her must be weaker than those around the Demon King Duan Yan, why don’t we start from here and create a gap between the Demon King and her—”

“—Sect Master, Sect Master!”

At this moment outside the main hall, there was a sudden call of excitement mixed with fear.

Immediately afterwards, at the entrance of Taiqingzong Hall, a stumbled person appeared.

His appearance rudely interrupted Elder Bai’s words and instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

What’s going on here?

Why is he panicking like this?

Under everyone’s attention, the man ran into the hall and before he had time to salute, he shouted loudly with all his might.

His voice was so loud that it reached everyone’s ears almost instantly—

“Sect Master! Demon King Duan Yan was killed! Yes, it was the hands of Demon Lord Chicheng! It was the new Demon Lord who killed him!”
