Chapter 136 The Mysterious Demon (2/2)

Shen Lian had yet to master the Insight Qi Technique and thus, he was unable to tell the true form of the demon king. But of course, only a top-notch Dao master will be able to view a demon king’s true form. Besides the top tiered demons who can conceal their demonic state, others whose true form can be easily read would not be able to hide their greatest weakness. They were the ones who would be an easy target.

The four Dao schools were able to plant their feet firmly to the ground was not simply because of talented disciples, but mainly due to their signature Dao techniques which were almost flawless. After all, every generation of immortals would go through Powang and discovered minor weaknesses of their school’s Dao techniques. Apart from Huandan and Powang, the journey to Dao was long and difficult; it was related to the mind, it was an extremely abstruse journey, unexplainable at times but it was definitely achievable.

Just as Shen Lian who were unable to read the true form of the demon king, the girl in green skirt too couldn’t tell Shen Lian’s weaknesses. She felt that Shen Lian was giving out mixed frequencies as his mana was constantly changing. It was difficult for her to have an accurate reading of his Qi.

Although people say that it's hard for human and demons to coexist but when one reaches the level of the demon king and the other achieved Dao, there will be a mutual understanding among each other and both parties will not provoke each other unnecessarily.

The girl in green skirt had mastered the shape-shifting technique so technically, she’s not a dumb demon. If Shen Lian asked for a small favour, she could just promise him.

But if Shen Lian wants to go for the less friendly approach, she would have her means too.

Shen Lian smiled calmly, ”I am here to ask for directions. May I know how do I get to the Temple of Killings?”

The girl’s eyes dilated as she coldy asked, ”Why do you ask that?”

Shen Lian replied, ”The Temple of Killings’ master, Chen Jianmei, is from the same school as I am.”

As he finished his sentence, a sense of chill could be felt in the hall. Shen Lian noticed that many pair of eyes looked at him, some were fearful, and some with anger. He thought to himself, ”Looks like Brother Chen was not a likeable person in Xi Huang too.”

He had only heard of the Temple of Killings but he was unsure of the temple’s exact location and that was why he came by to asked for directions. After all, a demon king would have better sources of information.

To put into figures, it had been sixteen years since Chen Jianmei left Qing Xuan. It had also been sixteen years since his Huandan. This period time was not considered long but it was not short either.

But that was long enough to let the demon population of Xi Huang to know where was the forbidden Temple of Killings.

The girl’s reaction was as expected by Shen Lian.

She asked, ”Are you seriously just asking for directions?”

Shen Lian smiled, ”Of course.”

The girl in green skirt lifted her fingers and the mysterious patterns on her skirt started to sparkle in black shinny lights. It looked like a beautiful fantasy.

Black and white gases were released from the scallion-liked fingers of the girl in green skirt. Shen Lian did not show any signs of panic, he kept his composure.

The two-coloured gas spreaded out to the front with a three-feet length, and interchanged to form an illusion of the mountains and rivers that looked almost real. There were two eye-catching dots in the illusion, one in black and the other in white.

”The white dot is Chui Ping Mountain while the black represents the Temple of Killings,” the girl in green skirt replied.

Deep down, Shen Lian was impressed. The two-coloured gases were actually the Qi of Yin and Yang. He wondered what was the background of this demon king for possessing such control over the Qi of Yin and Yang to that extend of creating the illusion of mountains and rivers.

He could only make guesses in his heart as he remained a poker face. He was able to memorize the route to the Temple of Killings with just one glance. Looks like he still have a long journey to go.
