Chapter 377

Liu Zhaoyue frowned, “What on earth is the matter with the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest? Could it be possible that a great demonic beast really caused this much trouble? What exactly is that demonic beast?”

“The demonic beast is secondary; the most important thing is that the aura surrounding the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest has changed . ” Liu Mengchen explained, “I suspect that there was once a great demon-sealing array in the hinterland of the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest . I speculate that the inexplicable appearance of this barrier was caused by the loosening of the great demon-sealing array . ”

“Great demon-sealing array?” Liu Zhaoyue’s expression changed .

In the previous Myriad Dao Era, the five sovereigns of the Nine Lands sacrificed themselves to seal the demon . They simultaneously activated an Ancient Great Demon-Sealing Array from five directions and finally sealed the ruler of the Divine Devils, only to have ended in mutual destruction, which had ensured peace in the cultivation world for several thousand years thereafter .

How could a reclusive family from the Nine Lands not know anything about the great demon-sealing array?

However, he didn’t know that a demon-sealing array actually existed in the Five Continents as well .

What’s more, it was located precisely in the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest .

Liu Mengchen looked at Liu Zhaoyue and spoke lightly, “What do you think the existence of reclusive families really means to the smaller realms?”

Liu Zhaoyue didn’t even need to think about it, “We are the claws of the nine great Celestial Clans of the Upper Realm . We monitor each and every move of the Lower Realms for them . ”

“It’s fine if it was only that . The greatest significance of our existence is to maintain the stability of the Lower Realms . Whenever there are demons, there will be people from the reclusive families around . The reason why we came to the Five Continents and settled our family in the center of the North, Central, and West Continents is because these three continents all have great demon-sealing arrays . ”

Liu Zhaoyue gasped and looked at Liu Mengchen in disbelief . After a long time, he asked, “Eldest Brother, then the location of the Jian family was also specially chosen?”

Liu Mengchen nodded, “Although the Jian family is located in the East Continent, it is also close to the South and Central Continents, and is diagonal to our family . ”

Liu Mengchen felt chills down his spine and was on the verge of getting gooseb.u.mps .

The great demon-sealing arrays couldn’t be touched casually, because demons that require great demon-sealing arrays to seal were all great demons that couldn’t be destroyed by ordinary means . Inferring from Liu Mengchen’s words, there were actually more than one great demon-sealing array in the Five Continents!

At this very moment, Liu Zhaoyue felt: What kind of bulls.h.i.+t are these reclusive families? Such fraud!

Liu Mengchen felt that his goal had been achieved, so he continued, “Therefore, I must enter the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest . You should stay in the Liu family . ”

Liu Mengchen, “…”

The conversation had actually circled back to the beginning . Right now, he had some suspicion that Liu Mengchen was deliberately trying to scare him, which was why he intentionally made it sound so terrible .

Liu Zhaoyue frowned, “But I still want to go . Eldest Brother, since it is so dangerous, I’ll scout for you . ”

Ole Zfc.u.mtfc rwlifv, “Lbk mjc P ifa sbe ajxf atf ifjv?”

“P ralii kjca ab ub,” Ole Itjbsef qegrfv tlr ilqr .

Liu Zhaoyue opened his mouth but was rendered speechless .

He was the heir of the Liu family . Liu Mengchen had no children, so it was natural that Liu Zhaoyue would become the leader of the Liu family after Liu Mengchen left .

This was the responsibility borne by Liu Zhaoyue, although this responsibility felt extremely heavy .

Liu Zhaoyue acquiesced in silence . Moments later, Liu Zhaoyue spoke, “Eldest Brother, you should leave a few days later . ”

Liu Mengchen shook his head . “I don’t think so . Lin Xuanzhi and the others came to the West Continent this time for the Colorful Caterpillar Gra.s.s and the Icy Heart Water Lotus . Saving a person is akin to fighting a fire . The fact that they could even stop here for a day is because of Zhu’er’s face . ”

Liu Zhaoyue asked, “Is Sister-in-law going too?”

“The Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest is his hometown . Naturally, he also wants to go back and have a look . ”

Liu Zhaoyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded . “Okay!”

The next day, Lin Xuanzhi and the other people indeed came to bid farewell to Liu Mengchen .

However, as Qing Zhu said before, Liu Mengchen decided to go with them to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest . Even though on the surface, he said that he would accompany Qing Zhu to his hometown to sightsee, it had caused Qing Zhu to roll his eyes countless times .

Liu Zhaoyue used all kinds of tricks in an attempt to persuade them to stay . However, Lin Xuanzhi and Yuan Tianwen still had firm att.i.tudes towards this matter . After eating breakfast, they left the family and moved on quickly towards the west .

This time, along the way, with Liu Mengchen’s guidance, the party’s speed was much faster than expected . Within three days, they had arrived at Qi City, one of the main cities in the West Continent that was closest to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest .

The West Continent’s Qi City, referred to as West Qi for short, was the largest main city in the West Continent, where commerce and trade were prosperous . Numerous cultivators came and went, and it was even home to the Black Owl, the largest mercenary group in the Five Continents .

There were two big families in West Qi’s mainland — one was the Su family and the other was the Ji family . The Su family was a gathering place for miscellaneous specializations . Apart from the ordinary sword cultivators, the Su family also had a balanced development in alchemy, talisman, equipment crafting, and other aspects of Dao . Some people once joked that the Su family was a microcosm that included all types of cultivators in the entire Five Continents .

Of course, this was a bit exaggerated, but one could fully see the style of the Su family from this .
