Chapter 418 - Chapter 418: Chapter 118 Sinister Demon Lord (2/2)

“brother li…”

“what exactly happened back then? and how did you end up being targeted by that yin ye demon lord?”

li tangyu lifted his head, then slowly began to speak:

“initially, when i came to the demonic monster sea with that elder from the qingyuan sword sect, everything was fine at first…”

“it was only after we separated that something i stumbled upon changed everything…”

…

…

li tangyu then started to recount…

meanwhile, lin jing and li qingqing silently listened to li tangyu’s narrative.

…

…

only after quite a while did li tangyu finish telling everything,

and both lin jing and li qingqing understood the whole process of the incident.

actually, the matter, when really getting down to it, was quite simple.

after separating from the elder of the qingyuan sword sect, li tangyu intended to traverse the demonic monster sea alone, gaining experience while continuing towards the eastern spirit realm.

however, during this process, he happened upon a deeply pitiful and severely injured young girl.

it was this pitiful young girl that led li tangyu into the greatest ordeal of his life.

this girl had been prey that the yin ye demon lord had taken a fancy to, using her to experiment with his demonic techniques, but she had managed to escape accidentally.

and yet, she just so happened to be encountered by li tangyu, a newly initiated swordsman filled with a sense of justice.

thus, li tangyu stepped forward to rescue her.

this rescue was no trivial matter; it was followed by the yin ye demon lord’s formidable henchmen capturing both of them after a persistent chase.

originally, the yin ye demon lord had taken the girl to experiment with his demonic techniques…

but li tangyu’s actions had angered the yin ye demon lord.

subsequently, the yin ye demon lord took both li tangyu and the girl back to wan mo island.

what followed was…

li tangyu endured countless torments, and his original cultivation was all transformed into demonic techniques for the sake of that experiment.

fortunately, li tangyu was lucky and extremely resilient; he withstood the immense pain and ultimately managed to hold on.

the experiment with the demonic techniques on li tangyu was a success.

as for the young girl, she had vanished without a trace ever since.

seeing the success of the demonic techniques on li tangyu, the yin ye demon lord was unwilling to destroy his own experimental results.

therefore, he placed a restriction and a poisonous curse on li tangyu, firmly controlling him.

from that moment forth, li tangyu became a subordinate who would never betray the yin ye demon lord.

because the restriction and the poisonous curse made it impossible for li tangyu to leave his side.

this restriction would burst forth at intervals, and the poison needed an antidote at regular times as well.

otherwise, the agony when the restriction erupted was so intense it was unbearable.

now that the restriction on li tangyu had erupted, it indicated that it was time for him to return.

originally, when li tangyu came to black xing island, he was on a mission, but he happened to obtain the auction list and saw li qingqing in the catalog.

thus, he delayed his return, causing the in-body restriction to erupt.

after hearing li tangyu recount his story, li qingqing’s face was already covered with tears…

although…

li tangyu had skipped over most of the experiences on wan mo island.

but lin jing and li qingqing knew that the pain was something ordinary people couldn’t bear.

seeing such a weakened li tangyu, lin jing furrowed his brows and asked:

“brother li…”

“how can we remove the restriction and poison from your body?”

li tangyu gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying:

“this restriction was personally imposed by the yin ye demon lord, one either must surpass his cultivation or find a way to break it.”

“and the poison is exclusive to the yin ye demon lord; to remove this restriction and the poison, one must figure out a way to deal with the yin ye demon lord.”

upon hearing this, lin jing’s frown deepened even more…

it seemed that, to help li tangyu remove the restriction and the poison, one would still need to find a way to confront the yin ye demon lord.

but the yin ye demon lord was a nascent soul true monarch…

this matter, to remove the restriction and poison from li tangyu, was not going to be easy.

li tangyu, seeing lin jing’s deep worry, hurriedly tried to comfort him:

“brother lin, you do not need to be so nervous.”

“at the very least, i won’t be in any life-threatening danger for quite a long time.”

“furthermore, although i am currently working for the yin ye demon lord, i am also trying to gather information about the poisonous curse and the restriction.”

“once there’s a chance, i will break free from the control of the yin ye demon lord at the first opportunity.”

lin jing then said:

“brother li, you must be extremely careful…”

“those demon cultivators are not easy to deal with, especially the yin ye demon lord who has cultivated to the nascent soul stage. his methods are by no means simple.”

“while you are by his side, you must be very cautious…”

li tangyu smiled slightly and said:

“i understand…”

after speaking, li tangyu continued:

“brother lin…”

“i can’t stay here for too long and will leave to return to wan mo island.”

“now that the in-body restriction has erupted, i’ve already exceeded the time limit. if i don’t return now, i might arouse suspicion from the yin ye demon lord.”

“by then, qingqing will be in your care.”

“you must be cautious, and avoid letting anyone from the black shark gang catch a hint of anything.”

lin jing nodded and said:

“don’t worry, brother li…”

“qing qing will definitely be safe with me.”
