549 Human Words, Ghost Words, and Devil Words (1/2)
The sky was like a burning scroll with Fu Riluo at the center. The places that were touched by the flames turned into ashes, and soon half of the land was burned. When everything to the top of Qin Mu's head was burned, the sky was cleaned out.
The devil world disappeared and another world appeared in his eyes.
Qin Mu didn't look at Fu Riluo who was walking over, but around himself. Pitch black tall towers stood up ahead like a forest in the gray fog. Numerous devils were akin to hard-working ants hurrying to and fro, forging huge machines to attack the city. There were also some devils practicing to fight.
Only when Qin Mu saw the dim and broken sun hanging in the east did he let out a sigh of relief.
He was still in Supreme Emperor Heaven; the devil world that Fu Riluo had shown him was simply terrifying. He really didn't want to stay in that place of destruction.
The sun of Supreme Emperor Heaven was god-forged, and its light wasn't intense, unable to get rid of the devil qi in the devils' territory. The little light that shone onto Qin Mu's body was also cold, not warming him up in the least.
The world that Fu Riluo had shown him had been merely an illusion.
”Senior Fu Riluo shouldn't have spent so much effort to kidnap me just to show the bitter history of his people?” Qin Mu looked away and said solemnly, ”You guys should know that your bitter history has nothing to do with me, however, you had invaded Supreme Emperor Heaven and pushed the bitterness onto the human race, now that has something to do with me.”
Fu Riluo came to his side and said slowly, ”Is Little Friend Qin so sure that he's a human?”
Qin Mu's gaze flickered. ”What is Fu Riluo trying to say? Why don't you make yourself clear?”
”You are a devil.” One of Fu Riluo's faces looked straight at him and spoke. ”Furthermore, you are a devil of extremely high quality. Your bloodline might even be higher than mine!”
Qin Mu was stunned and pointed at the devil with a chortle. He laughed until he couldn't catch his breath.
Fu Riluo didn't say anything and just waited for him to finish laughing. When he could laugh no longer, he slowly said, ”Has no one ever told you that you are a devil?”
Qin Mu straightened his back and exhaled deeply. He said with a smile, ”Someone had indeed said that before. When I was young, I had met a devil god sealed in Doom Suppression Palace that told me I was a devil. However, he said that to trick me, wanting to steal my body to break free of the seal, so what does Senior Fu Riluo want from me?”
Fu Riluo walked forward, and his neck turned. The back of his head shifted to his left side and he said, ”I'm not trying to trick you. Even though half of what we devils say is fake, the other half is true. When that devil god wanted to seize your body, he told you that you are a devil to gain your trust. It had been the truth.”
Qin Mu suddenly melted, and his body became a black shadow that moved over the ground.
His speed was extremely fast, and he sprinted a hundred miles in a flash.
Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and walked out from the black shadow state. He then heard Fu Riluo's voice. ”You might not believe it, but don't you feel your vital qi flowing smoothly when you execute the mudra of the devils, without any obstruction at all?”
Qin Mu was stunned. When he looked around, he saw that he was not far from Fu Riluo. It was just that now he was on the left instead of behind.
”For you to be able to learn the divine arts of the devil race so easily and execute them without obstruction, there's only one explanation—you're also a devil!” Fu Riluo said with a smile.
Qin Mu rose into the sky and executed Heaven Pilfering Divine Legs to the limits and broke through the air.
After a moment, he saw Fu Riluo in front of him, and his expression couldn't help changing drastically. He hurriedly turned around and sprinted away.
After a moment, he found himself returning back, sprinting on the right of Fu Riluo.
Qin Mu paused and fell from the sky, sinking into the ground. When he moved quite a distance underground, he popped his head out to see that he was behind Fu Riluo.
He was still near the towers, and Fu Riluo was walking at a steady pace.
”However, you're also human, so you're skilled in cultivating the divine arts of the human race as well.” Fu Riluo's voice came from the front. ”You're half human and half devil, so you are able to easily master the divine arts of the two races. I pity a talent like you, which is why I invited you here.”
Qin Mu patted the dirt on his clothes and sneered. ”Respectable king, your method of inviting someone is quite unique.”
He stopped trying to escape and followed after Fu Riluo. When the devil heard that he no longer called him senior but changed to respectable king, one of his faces smiled.
The two names might have looked unintentional, but they were actually well thought out. Calling the other a senior was to let the other party know that he was a junior, and a senior laying hands on a junior's life was disgraceful.
The title of respectable king was also a thought out response. It was how the devils addressed Fu Riluo, and Qin Mu was placing himself on the level of a devil to lower Fu Riluo's guard.
Of course, these kind of small tricks were of no use against Fu Riluo.
”The devils aren't like those of humans who have vast and rich lands, blessed by heaven. We devils are from Youdu.” Fu Riluo signaled for him to follow and began speaking. ”There were so many damned souls in Youdu that their grievances and devil nature gave birth to the ancestors of the devil race. They were the devil gods that carried evil thoughts from heaven and earth, giving birth to the devils when they reproduced with one another.”
Qin Mu was slightly stunned, not understanding why he was being told all that.
”After the devils were born, they weren't viewed highly by Youdu and got chased out by Earth Count. That's why my devils were vagrants from the moment we were born and were forced to find a place to settle themselves. We were not welcomed by the other races, so the places we could pick were usually treacherous. However, even like that, we still survived. Yet...”
His other face turned around and said, ”Yet our world sank from destruction, and for the survival of our race, we had no choice but to invade Supreme Emperor Heaven. Actually, the reason I've come to find you is to find a method for humans and devils to live together. When I first saw you, a thought took root in my mind!”
