I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 494 Negotiation (Seeking monthly votes)

Jiang Yi found the Ink Dragon King at the edge of a damp swamp. She had half of her dragon body coiled up, her dragon head held high, facing the five different demons below.

All five demons were at the Golden Core stage. Judging from their aura, they were likely the leaders of five different groups within the Northern Xuan Demon Clan.

Jiang Yi didn't know what they were talking about. When she appeared, all five demons looked at her. Some were wary, some were hostile, some were hesitant, and some were gentle and harmless.

The Ink Dragon King told the five demons to leave first, and then transformed into a middle-aged woman in black.

She stood tall and straight like an ancient pine tree, with a face full of distinct features. The corners of her eyes bore the marks of time and experience. Her golden vertical pupils were exactly the same as Yu Hui's, yet deeper, carrying a primal wildness and a penetrating sharpness.

Her long black gauze dress seemed to have been transformed from a dark, dark pool, exuding a damp and chilling aura. Even when she stood still, she constantly emanated a deep and restrained sense of oppression, like a deep abyss.

He exudes authority without anger, displaying the demeanor of a powerful figure.

Before the birth of a true demon king in the Northern Xuan Demon Clan, the Ink Dragon King was the supreme leader of the demon clan.

Because of the oppression of the human race, she led the remaining demon race to live in the underground of Beixuan.

The Ink Dragon King managed to suppress her own nature and that of other species, preventing them from killing each other and forcing them to unite as one.

Even after discovering Zhao Cangyun, they were willing to dedicate the entire clan's resources to supporting him and nurturing him into a future Qilin King for the demon race.

The actions of the Ink Dragon King are worthy of respect. Even Danxi once praised the Ink Dragon King in front of Jiang Yi, saying that she was actually more suitable to be the Demon King than Zhao Cangyun.

"Tell me, how do you plan to get us out of here?" the Ink Dragon King asked directly.

Jiang Yi walked over slowly, "There is no other way but to fight our way out."

This is the truth. There are far more demons in this secret realm than she imagined. Even if she wanted to, the Immortal Ferry couldn't hold so many demons.

Besides, she didn't want to!

Of the five little demon kings, only one showed her goodwill; the others were wary. The wolf demon king even bared his teeth at her, making no attempt to hide his hostility.

Under these circumstances, there was absolutely no way she would reveal her deepest secret to them.

The sword-nurturing gourd is her natal spiritual treasure, bound to her life and soul. It is also bound to Hua Gu and the other five, so it can be considered their natal spiritual treasure as well.

If the sword-nurturing gourd is damaged in any way, it will cost more than just her life.

Jiang Yi will not take any risks in this matter.

The Ink Dragon King lowered his eyes, seemingly deep in thought. For the entire demon race, it wouldn't be difficult to break out directly, as they had a numerical advantage. The question was, what would happen after they broke out?
Within the secret realm, there are laws suppressing the power, preventing cultivators with strength exceeding the peak of the Golden Core stage from appearing.

Outside the secret realm, there are quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators, three Divine Transformation cultivators, and one Void Refinement cultivator from the Thunderclap Sect. These are beings that the Ink Dragon King and the entire demon race cannot contend with.

At that time, all the demons will become meat on the chopping block for those human cultivators.

She understood this point, which is why she ultimately gave up on breaking out last time and allowed all the demons to evacuate to this place.

They are the last spark of the Northern Xuan Demon Clan; they cannot be extinguished here.

Jiang Yi understood the Black Dragon King's concerns and asked instead, "Senior, have you considered joining the Cangling Sect?"

Mo Jiao Wang looked up at Jiang Yi, "What did Dan Xi tell you?" Jiang Yi shook her head, "My master never mentioned the deal between you and her to me, including Zhao Cangyun's true identity. I guessed everything myself. Actually, it wasn't hard to guess, especially when I had the same idea as my master."

The Ink Dragon King's eyes deepened. Back then, in her deal with Danxi, Danxi used all her resources available to the human race to help the demon race cultivate Zhao Cangyun, enabling him to successfully form his core and nascent soul, until the latent Qilin bloodline within Zhao Cangyun was fully activated, transforming him into a true fire Qilin.

Given the situation of the Northern Xuan Demon Clan at the time, this was impossible, as 99% of the resources and secret realms of Northern Xuan were controlled by the nine major sects.

In exchange, Danxi's first condition was that all the underground demon races of Beixuan join the Cangling Sect. Danxi promised Mojiao King that no one from the Cangling Sect would forcibly contract with the Beixuan demon race.

Even if it is a contract between two people who are willing to cooperate, it must be a contract between fellow practitioners that is harmless to both parties and that both parties have the right to unilaterally terminate.

The Cangling Sect will give them their own territory, allowing them to develop freely.

They only need to abide by the rules of the Cangling Sect, refrain from indiscriminately slaughtering humans, and help humans resist the demonic tide when it comes.

As long as Beixuan survives, Cangling Sect will do everything in its power to ensure the survival of the demon race.

The Ink Dragon King refused; the demon race didn't trust humans, and she couldn't afford to gamble.

At that time, Mo Jiao Wang could never have imagined that Bei Xuan would be overthrown overnight. The demonic tide was raging, and even though she had led the demon race to help with all their might, they were powerless to reverse the situation.

After the fall of Beixuan, she led the demon race to flee and ended up in this place. When she met the group of cultivators from the Eastern Continent outside, she began to realize that Beixuan was the last paradise for the demon race.

"Senior, even if you manage to leave here safely, where will you go afterward? Are you going to fight for territory with the sea monsters in the Dark Star Sea?"

The Ink Dragon King's initial target was indeed the Dark Star Sea, beyond the Floating Light Sea.

However, most of the Northern Xuan Demon Clan are land-dwelling beasts and cannot survive in the sea for long periods of time, and the demon beasts there may not accept them.

Jiang Yi continued, "I can continue to fulfill the promise my master made to the demon race."

"Oh? What gives you the right to carry it out on her behalf?"

The Ink Dragon King retorted without any politeness, saying that in her eyes, Jiang Yi was nothing more than a Golden Core cultivator with decent potential.

Back then, Danxi was at least a top-tier expert in Beixuan, and later became the leader of the Beixuan Immortal Alliance. With both strength and status, she was qualified to negotiate with her.

Jiang Yi chuckled softly.

If it weren't for her master and the Cangling Sect, she really wouldn't bother with all this talking and effort, and she certainly wouldn't want to take on these responsibilities and consequences.

The Cangling Sect is currently undergoing reconstruction, lacking strength and foundation, and is also severely lacking in demon spirits. If the demon race were to join, the Cangling Sect's most pressing problems could be solved.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yi said slowly, "At this moment, I do not have the qualifications or strength to fulfill this responsibility on behalf of my master, but I am now the top of the Kunlun Three Heavens Ranking, my name is recorded on the Kunlun Dao Stele, I have the Kunlun Dao Seal in my sea of ​​consciousness, and I am protected by the remaining fortune of Kunlun. Forming a Nascent Soul is a piece of cake for me."

"It won't be too difficult for me to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future. The three major sword sects in Zhongzhou have promised to help me reach the Void Refinement stage. I'll sell myself to the Lingxu Sword Sect in exchange for their promise to support the Cangling Sect in rebuilding in the Kunwu Mountains and to fully support the inheritance of the Demon Control lineage."

"One last point: Daoist Chonghe of the Lingxu Sword Sect and I are fellow cultivators. By chance, we are fellow disciples and share the same lineage of cultivation. If we must be so sure, I should address Daoist Chonghe as my senior brother."

Jiang Yi paused for a moment, then stared directly at the Ink Dragon King without fear.

"In that case, am I qualified to carry out this transaction on behalf of my master?"
