Xing Ming was quite satisfied with Li Yan's surprised expression.
This matter is not something that most outsiders can easily know. Only sects like theirs that have been rooted here for generations can find out something.
He then took another sip of tea before continuing to speak slowly.
“So, after a long secret discussion with other Divine Transformation cultivators, Xiahou Shangxie finally decided to withdraw his army out of fear of the terrifying power of the mysterious strong man.
This averted a catastrophic disaster for the original demon clan.
However, this incident became a thorn in Xiahou Shangxie's side, and he continued to place spies into the Holy Demon Palace.
At that time, the 'Holy Demon Palace' was in a state of disrepair and even though the defenses were extremely strict, it was ultimately impossible to make it completely watertight.
Although many spies were killed, someone finally passed a message to Xiahou Shangxie, and the "Holy Demon Palace" could only know the content of the spy's message after searching his soul.
'There are powerful people from the human race who are helping the Holy Demon Palace to rebuild the formation to protect the race!'
Although the content of this message was simple, Xiahou Shangxie, who was almost as intelligent as a demon, immediately thought of a lot of things.
The 'Holy Demon Palace' is the foundation of the original demon clan, and their clan protection formation was passed down from ancient times.
Whether it is the defense or the various traps and restrictions within it, it has almost reached the limit of the weapon refining masters in this world. There are actually people who can rebuild the formation. What does this mean
What is the significance of constructing a clan-protecting formation? It must be to make the formation more powerful and the overall power far exceed that of before. Otherwise, there would be no meaning in rebuilding the 'Holy Demon Palace'.
In addition, without certainty, the 'Holy Demon Palace' certainly would not dare to easily change the original formation restrictions, as that would only result in a situation where the effect would be worse than the intended one.
All this only proves that the person who reconstructed the Holy Demon Palace's clan protection formation is so powerful that he has reached a level above that of a weapon refining master.
To reach this level, without strong cultivation, it would be impossible to support the refining of the equipment.
Xiahou Shangxie concluded that the mysterious strong man who ruined his plan to unify the entire demon clan was the human cultivator who reconstructed the "Holy Demon Palace" protective formation.
Another reason that made Xiahou Shangxie more certain of his judgment was that there was no way such a large formation protecting the clan could be reconstructed at will by a cultivator from another race.
No matter how advanced the other party's weapon-refining skills are, usually a sect or clan will not be willing to do it.
This would not only reveal all the secrets of the clan protection formation, but also allow a foreign cultivator to leave any hidden tricks, which would be fatal to the "Holy Demon Palace" because it was a clan protection formation that held the lifeblood of a clan.
But the other party did just that, so it can be concluded how much the White Demon Clan trusts this person.
Later, no matter how hard he tried to inquire, he could not find out the whereabouts and origins of this person. It was as if no such person had ever appeared in the Lost Continent, without a trace."
Xing Ming also shook his head when he said this. He was actually skeptical about such news, but it could best explain why the Black Demon Clan hated human monks.
"It is said that after Xiahou Shangxie made all kinds of inquiries but to no avail, he actually sneaked into the 'Holy Demon Palace' one day, but he was discovered by the clan protection formation when he was only a thousand miles away from the core area of the 'Holy Demon Palace'.
At that time, he was also a powerful person in the God Transformation Realm, and he also failed to escape the restrictions of the clan protection formation.
It could be that the White Demon Clan was too confident in their clan protection formation and did not fully activate it, or it could be that Xiahou Shangxie's cultivation was already so high that he destroyed one of his clones and allowed it to escape with injuries.
Junior brother, do you think this reason can explain your previous question?"
In fact, Xingming didn't spend a very long time telling the story, but just this short moment was enough to make Li Yan's blood boil.
“It turns out that there is such a strong man in my human race. With his own strength, he frightened the Yuanying and Huashen cultivators to the point of being at a loss. Even with the strength of our clan, we dared not face him head-on and had to retreat as ordered.
It is no wonder that the Black and White Demons have completely different attitudes towards the human cultivators. Although this reason sounds more mysterious, it can better explain the different situations of the human cultivators in the Lost Courtyard. "
Star Moth continued.
"Now let me explain your second question. This is also the reason why you are asked not to tell anyone what you heard, otherwise it may cause great trouble to the sect.
"Li Yan has recovered his composure and spoke softly.
"Please give me some advice, Senior Brother!"
“Because of the special nature of the Lost Continent, although it is difficult to cross the border, there are still powerful cultivators of different races who bring their disciples and followers across the border, resulting in a situation where there are many sects and powerful people.
The powerful human had obviously considered this a long time ago, so he made an agreement with the White Demon Tribe before leaving.
He was not allowed to reveal his information, nor was he allowed to say that the human race helped the White Demon Clan, and he was not allowed to leave any spiritual consciousness photos or records, otherwise he would personally take action to destroy the White Demon Clan.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!
Of course, his action was to leave a way out for the human cultivators who were still in the Lost Continent and were targeted by other races.
However, he did not expect that Xiahou Shangxie had guessed that some powerful human beings were helping the White Demon Clan based on just one piece of information, and that human cultivators had become the enemy of the most powerful clan on this continent.
However, the human leader's actions did indeed protect the human cultivators to the greatest extent possible. After all, as long as the White Demon Clan did not admit it and there were no relevant records, then all of this was just a rumor.
Since then, the White Demon Clan has indeed become much nicer in its attitude towards human cultivators and sects, which was very subtle at the beginning.
But as the White Demon Clan became more and more stable, the Black Demon Clan began to kill human monks everywhere. The White Demon Clan finally made its attitude towards human monks clear.
The White Demons' reason for hunting down the other party's masters is that they will spare no effort to protect any tribe that the Black Demons hate!
The Black Demon Clan did not respond to this, but instead became increasingly cruel in hunting down the human cultivators.
In the end, this led to the current situation, where all human cultivators are concentrated in the western part of the Lost Continent.
However, as time passed, the powerful White Demons of that generation either died or ascended to heaven one after another. There were fewer and fewer cultivators familiar with the human race, and new powerful White Demons continued to rise.
In addition, the White Demon Clan had no previous records of any laws regarding special treatment of human monks, and gradually three factions and two divisions formed within their ranks.
One is the conservative faction. They believe that the information passed down by word of mouth from their ancestors is like this, so they still have to maintain good relations with human monks.
The other group is the opposition. They believe that these are all rumors and that they should not provoke the Black Demon Tribe for such meaningless words, which would lead to tensions on the border between the two tribes.
The third type is the neutral group, who neither helps nor expresses their stance.
However, these words are just their internal disputes, and the White Demon Clan cannot speak them out loudly. Therefore, the attitude of the "Holy Demon Palace" towards the human race is now uncertain.
We have only heard about these things through some channels and made guesses about them, and we don't know the specifics.
I think the main concerns of the 'Holy Demon Palace' opposition are:
First, the White Demon Clan is now at its peak of power and has firmly ruled the western region of the Lost Continent.
If they admitted that it was a powerful human who helped the White Demon Clan to survive the disaster, it would embarrass the high-level monks of the White Demon Clan.
The disputes among their own tribe would need an outsider to resolve, and the traditionally powerful image of the demon tribe would be damaged.
Secondly, the Black Demon Clan will definitely use this as an excuse to hunt down human monks more endlessly and will continue to send people to sneak into the west.
It was impossible for them to directly expel the human monks from here. After all, the 'Holy Demon Palace' was not a one-man show of power among one faction, so they simply remained silent to the outside world.
Junior Brother, these are all just rumors to us. Maybe the reason is not true, but there is absolutely no need to add any trouble to your own race."
After saying this, Xingming immediately changed the subject, as if he was afraid that Zhang Ming would ask more questions on this topic.
He would try to avoid mentioning this issue if he could. Moreover, the attitude of the White Demon Clan was really difficult to tell. If his words were to reach the ears of some people, they might take the opportunity to cause trouble.
By then, it won't just be the "Falling Star Valley" that will be in trouble, but the entire human cultivators in the Lost Continent will be implicated, and the "Falling Star Valley" will definitely be criticized to death.
Li Yan was also tactful, and immediately followed Xing Ming's topic. The two of them talked about some things related to cultivation, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
Half an incense stick later, Li Yan sent the star moth away. After closing the cave door, Li Yan's originally calm face suddenly became gloomy.
Of course, he was not worried about the things happening between the demons and the human cultivators, but there were huge differences in his return home, which was completely different from what he had thought before.
Although we now know where the cross-border formation is, the conditions for using it are so harsh!
In addition to the vast amount of high-quality spirit stones, there are even more demanding conditions. Not to mention Zhao Min, just based on his current cultivation level, he must be protected by a Nascent Soul cultivator during the transmission...
"If I can have the support of a Nascent Soul cultivator, with that kind of relationship, I may not have to consider the previous conditions!"
Li Yan frowned and thought, after getting the news about the cross-border teleportation array, his previous plan was completely disrupted. At least now he is unable to fully use the cross-border teleportation array.
If he had to wait until he condensed his Nascent Soul, Li Yan himself didn't know when that day would come, and could only describe it as a long way off.
Maybe he will never be able to take that step in his entire life, a Nascent Soul cultivator. Just think about all the Nascent Souls that appeared in the Wild Moon Continent due to the war between the two worlds, and you will know how difficult it is to condense a Nascent Soul.
“We have to think of other ways.”
For a moment, Li Yan even thought of the barrier that he and Zhao Min had crossed over, as well as the passage that the Black Demon Clan used to lead to the crack in the Yin Demon Cliff. He didn't know that Wei Chongran's explosion had completely blocked the passage between the two worlds.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yan could only sigh in his heart.
"Let's just take it one step at a time and find my senior sister first."
Then, he sat cross-legged and slowly began to practice.
The next morning, Li Yan left the cave and flew straight towards the sect master's hall in front.
When he landed at the bottom of the steps of the main hall, the disciples on guard saw someone flying straight towards the main hall, and some of them had already shouted.
Normally only the sect master can fly here, but today the sect master has already been in here for a long time. Who is this person? He is so bold.
"Who dares to trespass into the sect's main hall? You have offended the sect..."
One of the four disciples guarding the gate took a step forward and shouted loudly, and then he and the other three walked up in a semi-surrounding formation.
The light faded from the bottom of the stairs, revealing an extremely ordinary face. He just glanced at the four people indifferently and slowly stepped onto the stairs.
At the same time, there was a flash of light in his hand, and a light blue token with five stars in the corner appeared in his hand.
