Chapter 282 The Demon Lord is Dead?
Jun Shaoyun nodded solemnly: "That's right, that's what I wanted to say!" He paused and said in a heavy tone: "Six years ago, the Demon Lord was beheaded by the Immortal Alliance on the judgment platform. Since then, the Demon Clan has been leaderless."
"What? The Demon Lord was killed?" Hao Chen exclaimed in shock, asking incredulously, "Six years ago? Why are we only receiving this news now?"
Jun Shaoyun explained, "Six years ago, the magic array connecting to the Immortal Realm suddenly shattered. A few days ago, there were signs of repair. However, today, the top of the magic array shows that the Demon Lord died six years ago."
"So, the Demon Race has an interface between the Immortal Realm and the Xuan Tian Continent? They used this interface to get here?" Hao Chen interjected, his tone revealing a hint of understanding.
The temple master, Fuxi, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke, his brows furrowed, muttering to himself, "The Demon Lord is dead... Wasn't she said to be immortal? How could this be..."
Hao Chen echoed in confusion, "Yes, I've heard this rumor too. It's said that the Demon Lord is immortal and can be reborn after a period of time even if he is killed. How is that possible?"
Jun Shaoyun explained, "Whether the Demon Lord possesses an immortal body has always been just a rumor, without any conclusive evidence." He paused and continued, "However, this time the Demon Lord was killed by the Immortal Realm, it seems that he has truly perished, because so far, the Demon Race has not made any move."
Fuxi pondered for a moment and slowly said, "No wonder, in the past six years, the Immortal Realm has not asked them for Princess Nihuang and the Qilin boy again!"
Six years ago, the Immortal Realm demanded Princess Nihuang and Young Master Qilin from them, claiming that they wanted to personally train the two to become weapons against the Demon Lord and save the world from peril.
They put it nicely, but how could they not know their true intentions?
They only wanted to extract the soul bones of the two people and transfer the divine soul spirits to their disciples. If Xiao Chuhuang and Xuanyuan Wusang went there, they would only face certain death.
Therefore, Jun Shaoyun did not agree. He knew they were eager to kill the Demon Lord, but he could not watch his child go to his death.
Vice Pavilion Master Lu Xiao laughed and said, "That's great! The Demon Lord, this major threat, has finally been eliminated. We can now send our people over for training with peace of mind!"
"I hope so!" Jun Shaoyun said after a moment of silence.
A century has passed in the blink of an eye. The Xuan Tian Continent has devoted countless efforts to cultivating numerous exceptionally talented disciples, hoping that they can go to the Immortal Realm to further enhance their strength and bring glory to the continent.
However, very few people are actually able to set foot in the Immortal Realm. This cruel reality is like a heavy shackle, making it hard for people to breathe.
What's even more heartbreaking is that almost all the elite disciples who finally made it to the Immortal Realm after passing numerous trials have disappeared without a trace, and even their remains cannot be found.
Every piece of bad news received from the Immortal Realm was like a sharp blade piercing people's hearts. They claimed that these disciples had bravely sacrificed themselves in the battle against the demons, but this pale explanation could hardly soothe the pain and doubts in people's hearts.
Over time, fear and despair gradually spread. In order to reduce unnecessary sacrifices, they had to change the assessment from once every three years to once every ten years, thereby limiting the number of people who could go to the Immortal Realm.
Now that the Demon Lord is dead, the huge weight that has been pressing on my heart for many years has finally been lifted.
