Chapter 501: Chapter 271: The Disappearance of Yao

Court 2

“A demon gathering place?”

Chen Ying was puzzled, not understanding why Su Nan asked about this, but she didn’t ask further and replied:

“Young Master, in our area, the number of demons is extremely scarce. Most demons are raised by the major families, who have control over the corresponding Demon Sutra; it’s precisely because of this that these families can thrive continuously.”

“Besides that, it’s very difficult to find demons in other places, and even if they are occasionally found, it would attract a large number of martial artists to capture them. It’s rare to find a place where there are more than three demons.”

So they’re all raised?

Su Nan finally understood why there were so few bloodline warriors in this world apart from the families.

When the most important cultivation resources of a world are monopolized, it becomes wishful thinking for ordinary people to want to cultivate.

“Is there really no place where a large number of demons gather?”

Su Nan was doubtful.

Since a game task has appeared, it means that there must be a place where a large number of demons gather in this world.

Unless he was overthinking, and the game task was not to find the gathering place of the demon clan but had another purpose.

At this moment, Chen De seemed to have thought of something. He hesitated and said, “Young Master, this old slave had heard a legend many years ago. I don’t know if it has anything to do with what you’ve mentioned.”

“What legend?” Su Nan’s eyes brightened, and he immediately asked.

Chen De said: “According to the legend, over five hundred years ago, there were also quite a few demons in our area. Many of them were like our ancestors, entering this place from the outside world. At one point, there were more demons than humans.”

“These demons gathered together and formed a power called Yao Court at Mount Yueri. There were even several King-level Great Demons among them. These Great Demons considered themselves to be the masters of this world and launched attacks on the major families.”

“As a result, the actions of the Yao Court angered the Daxuan Kingdom and the Five Great Families. The Daxuan Kingdom and the Five Great Families took action, and a great battle erupted at Mount Yueri. Since then, the Yao Court was destroyed, and the number of demons greatly declined.”

“Moreover, a hundred years ago, changes occurred in the Death Desert, and neither humans nor demons could enter. Without replenishment from the outside world, the current situation was formed.”

Yao Court?

After hearing the old man’s words, Su Nan had a guess in his heart.

If his guess was correct, the so-called Yao Court was not completely destroyed back then but had hidden itself using some unknown method.

Hearing this, Chen Ying also seemed to have thought of something. She said, “So Mount Yueri used to be the location of the Yao Court. No wonder there are more demons there than in other places.”

“The probability of encountering demons is higher?” Now, Su Nan became even more certain that Mount Yueri must be the headquarters of the demon clan in this world.

“Where is Mount Yueri?”

Chen Ying said: “Young Master, Mount Yueri is about a hundred miles southwest of here. It’s not very far from this place. Since the probability of encountering demons there is higher, many martial artists often go there to try and capture demons.”

Not very far?

Su Nan nodded and decided to first go to Mount Yueri.

Seeing this, Chen Ying and the old man exchanged glances, discerning Su Nan’s intention, and their eyes showed a hint of surprise.

With an almost imperceptible hope in her eyes, Chen Ying said, “Young Master, if you want to go to Mount Yueri, you have to pass through the Ma family’s territory. I’m afraid…”

She secretly hoped that Su Nan would go to the Ma family’s territory, which might give them a chance for revenge.

But she also worried that Su Nan’s strength was not enough to handle the Ma family and that it would be akin to sending a lamb into a tiger’s den.

“Oh? That’s quite a coincidence.” Su Nan could see Chen Ying’s thoughts, but his expression remained unchanged.

The Ma family was one of his tasks, and if he could complete it along the way, then that would be the best.

“In that case, let’s go to your Chen family’s place.”

Chen Family Town.

This was a very prosperous town.

In the past, it was the territory of one of the Thirty-Two Families, the Chen family.

But two days ago, everything changed.

The entire Chen family was killed, and the whereabouts of Miss Chen were unknown. Everything that belonged to the Chen family was now controlled by the Ma family.

When this event happened, it caused a huge stir throughout the Land of the Lost.

After all, each of the Thirty-Two Families in the past was high and mighty with vast power, making ordinary people seem like ants before them. Yet, such powerful existences could still be wiped out.

For the first time in a century, a family had been exterminated!

After the incident, not one of the families that had maintained good relations with the Chen family stepped forward to help them.

After all, in their eyes, it was not worth it to offend the Ma family for a family that had already been destroyed?.
