Chapter 177 The Promise of the Demon King
"Old Man of All Beasts, it's him!"
Hearing this voice, Chu Liang suddenly realized.
This is a powerful martial arts master, and there are many records about him in the martial arts alliance's classics.
This person is powerful and very powerful among the masters. Back then, he relied on the art of controlling beasts to travel around the world and became famous. He even defeated other martial arts masters. All the top warriors in Daliang and Jiuzhou knew his name. .
"It turns out to be the inheritance of this senior."
While Chu Liang was thinking, the voice continued to ring in his mind.
"I died here because of the civil strife in the Valley of Beasts..."
The old voice kept telling, revealing a hidden history for Chu Liang.
Chu Liang slowly sat down in front of the stone table and listened carefully.
All of this actually started a hundred years ago and was related to the demon-slaying battle a hundred years ago.
"The Blood Demon came into the world, his blood energy was overwhelming, and corpses were everywhere wherever he went... The Valley Master at that time led seven elders out of the mountain to try to stop the Blood Demon, but in the end they all died at the hands of the Blood Demon..."
Since then, the position of the Valley Master of the Valley of Beasts has been vacant.
For the position of the Valley Master, many families in the Valley of Beasts have been fighting for it for decades. They have used various means to compete openly and covertly, and even killed young geniuses from each other's families, but they have never come to a winner.
When he was young, Ge Qiudao was tired of the internal disputes, so he walked out of the Valley of Beasts, entered the Jianghu alone to gain experience, traveled to Daliang and Jiuzhou, and gradually made a name for himself in various places.
Many martial arts masters called him "junior" and "that kid" at first, but later became "senior" and "adult", and later he was given the title of "Old Man of All Beasts".
In the blink of an eye, a few decades pass, spring and autumn change, and the years go by.
When he walked out of the Valley of Beasts, he was just an ordinary warrior.
When I look back, I am already a great master.
Later, he returned to the Valley of Beasts and became the Great Elder of the Valley of Beasts, striving to resolve disputes and allow the major families to live in peace.
However, the major families thought that he was too powerful and a threat. In order to get rid of him, they even colluded with the monster king in the southwest mountains, lured the monster king into the Valley of Beasts, and joined forces to form an array in an attempt to kill him.
He fought his way out, was seriously injured, and fled from Jiaozhou to Jinhua Mansion in Yangzhou.
"Back then, when I was traveling in Yangzhou, I formed a deep friendship with the head of the Chen family in Jinhua Fucheng, so I went to the Chen family to recuperate, but I didn't expect..."
There was a hint of sadness in Ge Qiudao's old voice. He thought he had escaped the pursuit of the Beast Valley and would not cause trouble to the Chen family.
But the aura on his body was remembered by a monster king.
The monster king tracked him all the way and led people from all the families in the Hundred Beasts Valley to pursue him across the state until they reached Jinhua City in Yangzhou.
On that thunderstorm night, the entire Chen family in Jinhua Mansion was wiped out, and thousands of people in the clan were killed, with heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers.
This tragic murder of a family is still an unsolved case.
There are various rumors in the world. Some people say that the Chen family was destroyed because they secretly learned the inner strength technique of a certain thousand-year-old family.
Some people also say that the Chen family has provoked members of the royal family, and that this murder was committed by a certain Prince of Liang, so the government office of Jinhua Mansion did not dare to investigate the matter.
"Unexpectedly, the Chen family's destruction was actually done by the Valley of Beasts in collusion with the monsters!"
Chu Liang suddenly realized that he had heard about the murder of the Chen family in Jinhua Mansion for a long time. He had read about it in many classics and heard it from Luo Hong, the meritorious hall master, and others, but he never knew what the truth was.
Today I finally know.
Colluding with monsters is a grave sin!
If this matter spreads out, the reputation of this famous sect in the Valley of Beasts will definitely be lost, and other sects may join forces to attack it.
After that night, Ge Qiudao was seriously injured and suffered new injuries.
He once again fought his way out and fled from Jinhua Mansion to Wenhai Mansion, where he was eventually caught up by the monster king and died there.
But he was not killed by the Monster King, just because he was too seriously injured.
Before he died, he spent all his life's learning to build a large formation in the mountains and rivers, suppressing the demon king underground, and then left a legacy with one breath, hoping that future generations could completely eliminate the demon king.
"Is there a demon king suppressed under these mountains and rivers?"
Chu Liang was shocked, his eyes showed shock, and he looked at his feet.
Twenty years have passed. Is that demon king still alive?
He couldn't help but think of the descriptions of monsters in the classics.
The vitality of monsters is extremely terrifying, and their lifespan is often longer than that of humans. If it is the monster king of the turtle monster race, it can survive even two hundred years, let alone twenty years!
"For future generations, I leave this inheritance here for two reasons." Ge Qiudao's old voice sounded, "One is this demon king. It has a vicious temperament, many tricks, cunning and cruelty. We must protect it. Get rid of it without leaving any future troubles!”
"The second one is the Chen family of Jinhua Mansion..."
At that time, not all the Chen family in Jinhua Mansion was wiped out, but one person was still alive.
Ge Qiudao tried his best to save the newly born granddaughter of the head of the Chen family and handed her over to an old friend of Wen Hai Mansion.
"My descendants, please hold this jade pendant and go to Wenhai Fucheng to find Grandma Canglan of Baihuafang..."
The light of the jade pendant gradually dimmed and slowly flew into Chu Liang's hand.
This second thing is much easier to handle than the first thing.
Ge Qiudao entrusted the Chen family's baby girl to an old friend named "Grandma Canglan" to raise her. However, in order to lure the demon king away, he left in a hurry and did not tell the baby girl's life experience.
Therefore, he left a message of entrustment, hoping that future generations would pass it on to him.
There is also a jade pendant on the baby girl, which is exactly the same as this jade pendant. They are a pair.
"Wenhai Fucheng, Baihuafang?"
Chu Liang held the jade pendant and thought secretly.
Baihuafang is quite famous in Wenhai Fucheng. It is a second-rate force with strong men at the Jinjin Realm in charge.
This time, people from many forces in Fucheng came to destroy the demons, including Baihuafang.
"Senior's instructions, junior will remember." Chu Liang put away the jade pendant, handed over the corpse, and said solemnly.
Killing the Demon King is too difficult for him now.
But delivering the message can still be done.
"Master, you must be careful about the second thing!" Shu Er suddenly said, "Although it is just a message, it is tantamount to telling outsiders that you have received the inheritance of a grandmaster, and it is inevitable that you will be targeted by interested people!"
"I know."
Naturally, Chu Liang would not just go to Baihuafang to find someone. This matter had to be done slowly and there was no rush.
He stood up and looked through the stone table to make sure nothing was missing. Then he patted the little mouse on the head and said, "Let's go, it's time to leave."
After saying that, he took steps towards the door.
But at this moment, another voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Young human hero, please stay!"
"Um?"
Chu Liang's expression changed. A second voice appeared in the cave, and the other party called him "human race". His identity was already obvious.
The suppressed demon king!
"Young hero of the human race, I don't mean any harm!" The voice sounded again, "You have received the inheritance from the Old Man of Beasts, so you must already know my identity."
Chu Liang did not answer and remained silent.
The demon king continued: "I took action against the Old Man of Beasts purely because he used the method of controlling beasts to enslave my descendants. I have no hostility towards humans. Please believe me."
His voice was full of sincerity, as if it had a special power that made it easy for people to like him.
But Chu Liang still didn't answer and said nothing.
Seeing this, the demon king continued: "Young hero, as long as you let me out, I am willing to sign a slave contract with you and serve you for one year. When one year is up, I will return to the southwest mountains. What do you think? ? I am the king of monsters, comparable to your human martial arts master. With me here, your life will be safe for the next year. "
His words were full of sincerity.
As a majestic demon king, serving Chu Liang, a warrior in the blood coagulation realm, was simply unimaginable.
"Young hero, I think you are not too hostile to the demon clan. After all, you treat both treasure-hunting rats equally." The demon king said with kindness, "We can be friends. Humans and demons are not eternal enemies. "
