Destiny is ashes

Chapter 689: The Supreme Inner Demon Reappears
"Demon? The demon has corrupted and replaced the True Lord? How is this possible?"

After hearing what Master Yepo said, An Jing's first thought was "Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"

It is precisely because An Jing knows the Heavenly Demon so well that he understands that the Heavenly Demon’s corrosive ability is neither strong nor weak.

The strength is that when the inner demons emerge, Ling Xiao may even fall into the evil spirit.

The weak point is that, judging from the mentality of those warriors in Huaixu Realm who are doing great things, it is really not certain who the inner demon is!

In the case of a certain fate, there is still a chance for physical erosion by monsters, but mental erosion is almost impossible.

Even if he was seduced, he should have been a collaborator. How could he have been encroached upon?

Not to mention, there is the most crucial point.

An Jing frowned and said, "No matter how much the ancestor doesn't want to waste his life on trivial matters, the True Lord has been replaced by the Heavenly Demon. There is no way the ancestor will not take action on such a matter!"

Regarding An Jing's suspicion, Ye Po Zhenjun also knew that what she said was too exaggerated, but she insisted on her own opinion: "I captured a great demon clone, and the information I searched from its soul can basically not be false."

"I also suspected that this was false information deliberately released by the Heavenly Demon to make us suspicious of each other. But after the several anti-Heavenly Demon arrays I secretly placed in the sect were destroyed, I can basically be sure that there is definitely a traitor related to the Heavenly Demon in the sect, and his status should be that of a True Lord!"

"As for the ancestor... the Heavenly Lord is not omnipotent. The frost disaster almost swept across the Northern Xuanji Continent. Was it just to change the environment of heaven and earth? It brought countless Heavenly Demon seeds, causing the number of demons in the entire north to increase rapidly. Among them, many new Heavenly Demons appeared, but also many ancient Heavenly Demons revived."

"An Jing, do you know a kind of demon called the Supreme Heart Demon?"

"Supreme Heart Demon..."

An Jing frowned and thought, he did know this kind of demon, it was the oldest and the first kind of demon to invade Huaixu Realm. Its invasion was indeed silent, the Huaixu immortals and gods of that time could not detect any of it before the attack. The Heavenly Monarch at that time probably could not hold a position in the central Dao Court and could only work in the local area.

"What the True Lord means is..."

The young warrior pondered, "There is a True Lord who has been infected by the Supreme Heart Demon. He himself does not know that he has been possessed by the demon at the moment, but the Heart Demon has been slowly transforming him... When the time comes, it will explode and completely take over his body?"

"Is such that."

Yepo Zhenjun nodded slightly. The magic circle of Mingguang Peak was running. She could actually ensure that no one would eavesdrop on this conversation. But for the sake of safety, she added another layer: "The most pessimistic situation is that among the remaining six Zhenjun, five are traitors, and they are related to [Dachen], [Shangxuan], [Tianyi], [Taiming], and [Tianmo] respectively."

"If we are lucky, it will be four. Because the True Lord who was corrupted by the demon may not be a traitor."

"That's true."

Although this was most likely the case, An Jing couldn't laugh.

Is there any essential difference between four inner ghosts and five inner ghosts for the current Mingjing Sect? Half of the True Lords cannot be relied on at critical moments. In this case, if one party is determined to attack the Mingjing Sect, An Jing can't think of how to save it.

Fortunately, he did get a way to solve this problem, or at least to clarify the situation.

The pupil of life.

On An Jing's forehead, a sword pattern lit up, and a silver light flashed, just like an eye pupil.

When he glanced at him, even the fate of Lord Yepo naturally emerged.

A unique fate: [a hidden dragon in the abyss].

"what?"

Yepo Zhenjun felt a little bit like being spied on, but she didn't take it seriously. Instead, she looked at An Jing's forehead with a burning gaze and said, "An Jing, could it be that your magical power... can see through the disguise of the Heavenly Demon?"

"You can only see into other people's fate."

An Jing shook his head slightly, he could see that Lord Yepo's destiny was powerful and vigorous, he could even see that the future evolution direction of his destiny [Fuyuan Qianlong] might be the destiny of a dragon god like [Dragon Soaring into the Nine Heavens, Nine Heavens Divine Dragon], but he couldn't tell who was possessed by the demon from the surface.

But, he could observe from the side.

The fate of a True Lord who was corrupted by the devil will definitely change. Whether it is decline or abnormal rise, it is a sign. As long as An Jing observes the remaining six True Lords, he should be able to find [the True Lord who has not been affected].

Yes. The purpose of An Jing is not to find out who is the traitor, but to find out who is not the traitor and who is the loyal minister!
There are also struggles among the traitors. There is no need to think about which side they are on. The easiest way is to find out the one or two remaining loyal ministers and start targeting all the rest.

An Jing told his thoughts to Ye Po Zhen Jun, and Ye Po Zhen Jun seemed to be thinking: "You are right, it is meaningless to identify the traitors..."

"As for meeting other True Lords? Normally it is almost impossible, but recently there is really such an opportunity."

At this point, Yepo Zhenjun smiled and said, "The Mingjing Sect's once-in-a-decade [True Transmission Competition] is about to begin. The five leaders can participate in the [Five Sects Martial Arts Test] next year."

"This is a major event that concerns the reputation of the entire sect. If nothing unexpected happens, all the True Lords who can come will come. It's not certain whether the ancestors will come, but this time you are here, so even the Elder Chengguang will show up."

"By then, you should be able to tell who the loyal subjects are."

"Then it will surely be too late."

Although he knew of this opportunity, An Jing was very clear that with his return to the sect, the various forces would surely make more and more moves.

The True Transmission Competition is more of a deadline than an opportunity to discover the identities of the traitors - if we fail to figure out who to unite with and who to oppose before the True Transmission Competition, then something big will definitely happen.

Don’t ask An Jing why he knew this; this was destiny’s premonition.

"Indeed." Lord Yepo thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

The True Transmission Competition was a major event for the entire Mingjing Sect. At that time, the strength of the Mingjing Sect was unprecedentedly concentrated, but it also meant that the enemy's strength was unprecedentedly concentrated - if they were really preparing for some big move and launched it in one fell swoop during the competition, they might really be able to directly wipe out the three or four generations of Mingjing Sect's manpower.

In this way, even An Jing could not stop the Ming Jing Sect's decline.

"Then let me think about it, what other opportunities are there..."

Zhenjun Yepo fell into deep thought. She had a very careful mind and would think twice before doing anything. This made her rarely make mistakes or fall into traps, and also made her decision a beat slower.

An Jing didn't care much about it, because at this moment, he was communicating with Fu Xie.

"Fuxie! The Supreme Inner Demon appears again!"

In the sea of ​​​​divine beings, An Jing shouted to Fu Xie: "Tell me, is there something wrong with the way you hit me?"

Fu Xie subconsciously retorted: "What does this have to do with me...it really does have something to do with me!"

An Jing's words were not groundless. According to the past battle situation seen at Broken Blade Peak, the Immortal God Huaixu has built the 'Sky River Natural Moat' to block the arrival of all supreme inner demons. The demons can only possess bodies by constructing demon souls in the netherworld. They can no longer transform into information-state demons that are almost impossible to observe.

After that, it was most likely that Fu Xie shattered the Huaixu Heart of Heaven and Earth that was about to be captured by the Heavenly Demon, and then the immortals and gods worked together to drive open the Eternal Chasm, completely isolating the Heavenly Demon from the possibility of invading Huaixu.

However, after countless epochs, the shattered Fuxie returned to his hometown Huaixu.

The supreme inner demon also returned to Huaixu as the actions of the heavenly demon became more and more active.

Fu Xie was not unwilling to admit it, but he really didn’t know right now, and he was full of distress: “Oh, this is bad. The original materialized Heavenly Demon was annoying enough. Now if something like the Supreme Heart Demon appears, God knows what will happen to the world.”

"Especially now that Huaixu is a martial artist, if these crazy martial artists are disturbed by their inner demons..."

"A stir..."

Eh. Fu Xie suddenly realized that there was no problem: "It seems that there is nothing wrong."

"An Jing, look, do the Huaixu martial artists have to kill each other now in order to comply with the will of heaven and make continuous progress? What difference will it make even if the inner demon comes?"

An Jing also reacted: "Kill more crazily?"

"Yeah, it's just a matter of killing more people."

Fu Xie was thoughtful at this moment: "Could this be the purpose of the Heavenly Dao to stimulate the Martial Dao? Is this true? As long as we start killing each other first, you can't incite hatred among our families, countries and sects? Is the Heavenly Dao so well-planned?"

"I just think that if this is true, then the way of heaven is really a bit cruel."

"Hard to say."

Fu Xie said: "The way of heaven has no likes or dislikes. Everything is for the continuation of all living things. You think animals are just animals because you can only do so under objective conditions."

"No matter what, the Mingjing Sect is in danger now."

An Jing sighed in his heart: "Our small Zhongmen is really full of Crouching Dragons and Phoenixes. The two Tianzongs and several others have come to serve us together with the enemies of heaven and earth. How can this blessing be too small?"

"No wonder Master always looks subtle when I ask about the situation in the sect, saying that the sect is not a peaceful place either - it's really not, the Five-Party Talks are here."

"I thought about it."

At this moment, Ye Po Zhenjun's eyes flashed and he raised his head: "No matter which side it is, their goal must be the 'Haotian Mirror Fragment'... If possible, we can take the initiative to create a 'Divine Mirror Vision' similar to the one caused when you, An Jing, entered the sect."

"Whether loyal or treacherous, it is impossible for the True Lord not to pay attention to this matter."

"When the time comes, you will definitely discover something if you observe from the sidelines!"

“That’s a good idea indeed.”

His eyes moved slightly, and An Jing nodded. With the relationship with Fu Xie, the fragment of Haotian Mirror might really be willing to cooperate. After all, the Mingjing Sect is actually the sect of his Haotian fragment. If he doesn't want the sect to be destroyed, the fragment of the magic mirror must do something.

"But it definitely wasn't recently. A strange phenomenon just happened a while ago. If it appears again, it will be too obvious. We need to slow down for now."

The suggestion put forward by An Jing was also accepted by Ye Po Zhenjun. The white-skirted dragon girl nodded and prepared to remove the shielding dark cloud: "Well, it is indeed necessary to slow down - An Jing, you have been running around for so long, you must need to rest for a while. All plans depend on your decision, and I will cooperate with you when the time comes."

"If there is really extremely confidential information, we can go to a distant place to talk."

"Then thank you first, Master."

"Mingjing Sect is my home, the place where I grew up and was reborn, and this is what I should do."

An Jing bowed to Master Yepo, who shook his head slightly and prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, she turned her head and looked in the direction of Mingguang Peak.

"The Great Big Dipper Snake Heart Hundred Refining Technique..."
