Chapter 1639 Preventing the Summoning of the Ancient Demon
"Summon an ancient demon?"
"Why summon the ancient demon?"
"If the ancient demon is summoned, it means that the ancient demon has agreed to the wish that this ritual is meant to fulfill."
"So that means it's unknown whether the ancient demon can be summoned, and it's not guaranteed that the ancient demon will be summoned every time, right?"
The demon nodded. "Yes, but the ritual to summon the ancient demon has only been performed twice in the records of the demon realm."
Xiao Yanbao was speechless.
It was only summoned twice in total, so how can you prove that it can be summoned sometimes and not sometimes?
"You're not saying that you managed to summon it once and failed the other time, are you?"
"Yanbao, you're so smart, you guessed it right away."
Xiao Yanbao: Based on what you said earlier, anyone who isn't an idiot can guess it.
"Then tell me, what were the reasons for summoning the ancient demons on those two occasions?"
Mo Yi glanced at Xiao Yanbao, somewhat hesitant to speak.
Xiao Yanbao noticed the hesitation in Mo Yi's eyes.
"Why is it hard to say? Let me guess." Xiao Yanbao's eyes held a rather meaningful look.
The demon acknowledges that Xiao Yanbao is intelligent.
In the demon realm, no little demon as big as Yanbao is this clever.
He really wanted to know what Yanbao would guess.
He didn't speak, waiting for Yan Bao to guess.
Xiao Yanbao rested her chin on her hands, looking like she was thinking very seriously.
She didn't know much about the demon realm.
However, the event that requires summoning an ancient demon must be a major one.
The major events she knew about...
"Could it be about the last time the Demon Realm attacked the Three Realms?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yanbao's words, Mo Yi almost jumped up from the ground.
"Yanbao, you can't be a fortune teller, can you? You always guess right."
Xiao Yanbao: To be honest, she can do a tiny bit of calculation, but the little bit she knows is definitely not enough to calculate anything.
Xiao Yanbao smiled and said, "I guessed."
Mo Yi was a little skeptical; could a guess really be this accurate?
He learned about this while reading in the library.
He didn't know about this before reading the book.
This is a complete secret of the demon realm.
Only a few people in the upper echelons of the demon realm know this.
He only knew about this because of Xiao Yanbao.
If Mo Yi hadn't known that Xiao Yanbao hadn't actually read any books in the library, he would have assumed that Yanbao had seen the book too.
Xiao Yanbao continued, "That time when the ancient demon was summoned, it must have been summoned, right?"
Mo Yi has been completely captivated by Xiao Yanbao.
He actually had a fleeting thought of not wanting to support Huo Lichuan to take the position of Palace Master of the Demon Cloud Palace.
No wonder the Flute Demon was so proud after recognizing Yan Bao as his master.
He also wanted to follow Yan Bao.
Xiao Yanbao waved her hand when she saw Mo Yi's eager eyes, "No need to worship me."
If you guessed the first few correctly, wouldn't the rest be even easier to guess?
Since the Demon Realm attaches such importance to the matter of summoning the ancient demons, and the great war between the Demon Realm and the Three Realms has already taken place, it means that the ancient demons must have been summoned.
What Mo Yi didn't know was that the book didn't contain everything.
That time, the ancient demon was summoned.
However, it was not summoned by the ancient demon willingly.
It was the demon who summoned the ancient demon who used trickery to deceive it into appearing.
Such methods are shady and naturally wouldn't be recorded in any books passed down through generations.
"Then Yanbao, guess again why the ancient demon was summoned a second time?"
Mo Yi wanted to see if Yan Bao had hidden her strength or if she was just guessing.
As for the second one, Xiao Yanbao really can't guess.
She simply said, "I can only guess half of it."
Demon One: What the heck is half?
"Then Yanbao, tell me what you think."
What exactly does "half" mean?
"I can only guess that the ancient demon was not summoned the second time, but I have no idea why it was summoned."
Mo Yi looked at Xiao Yanbao seriously. Could it really be a fluke?
"The second summoning of the ancient demon was for the Grand Protector's succession as the Palace Master of Demon Cloud Palace. Because without the seal, the Grand Protector's ascension to the position would not be legitimate, so the demons who supported the Grand Protector came up with this plan. It's just a pity that the ancient demon was not summoned. So the Grand Protector's crazy attempt to break the seal of the Demon Realm is to prove that she has the ability to sit in the position of Palace Master of Demon Cloud Palace."
Xiao Yanbao was furious. If you wanted to become the master of the Demon Cloud Palace, why didn't you just subdue all the demons in the Demon Cloud Palace? Why did you have to use the Three Realms as your sacrifice?
Xiao Yanbao suddenly had an idea: if these demons were prevented from summoning the ancient demons, wouldn't that avoid the war between the demon realm and the three realms?
As for how to rescue the Palace Master of Demon Cloud Palace from the formation of that ice coffin, Heaven must know a way.
"Do you know where the Ancient Demon is? How can we stop it from coming out?"
Mo Yi was utterly astonished by Xiao Yanbao's audacious idea.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. No one can stop the ancient demon from emerging. Once this ritual is started, it cannot be interrupted. As for whether the ancient demon will emerge or not, that is the ancient demon's business, and outsiders cannot interfere."
Xiao Yanbao originally wanted to say that interrupting the ritual would prevent the summoning of the ancient demon.
But Mo Yi shut her down first.
Xiao Yanbao waved her hand and pulled Huo Lichuan inside from outside the Ruyi Bag.
Xiao Yanbao did not relay the conversation with Mo Yi to Huo Lichuan, so Huo Lichuan is still unaware of the ritual.
"Sister Yanbao, what are these demons doing? Does Demon One know?"
Xiao Yanbao nodded.
"Brother Huo, do you have any inherited memories of ancient demons?"
As the young master of the Demon Cloud Palace, Huo Lichuan should possess memories that others don't have.
"I do have some memories of the Ancient Demons. Is Sister Yanbao's sudden mention of the Ancient Demons related to the demons outside?"
Xiao Yanbao glanced at Mo Yi, as if to say, "Listen to this, she's not the only smart one."
Demon One: It seems that people outside are smarter than the demons in the demon realm.
"Then do you know how to summon the ancient demon?"
Mo Yi quickly spoke up: "Wouldn't that be helping the demons outside?"
"What I meant by 'inviting out' is not about making the ancient demon appear here. If we move the ancient demon to another place, then these demons outside won't be able to invite it out, right? Then their ritual will be considered a failure, and this war between the demon realm and the three realms can be avoided. They won't dare to break the seal that suppresses the demon realm either."
Demon One: Why didn't he think of such a method?
Everyone's eyes turned to Huo Lichuan.
Whether or not we can stop the demon realm from breaking the seal is another matter, but just being able to disrupt the rituals outside and go against the Great Protector is something to be happy about.
They support everything Xiao Yanbao suggests.
