Longevity Chronicles

Previously, Tao Qian had risen to prominence under his identity as a Secret Demon Child.

Yet, onlookers didn't believe he and the National Salvation Congress could win, for the reason was simple.

Slaughter is always much simpler than saving the world.

Especially when you have a well-trained army skilled in conquest and slaughter, you should feel confident of victory.

Ling Qi felt exactly that.

But after he gave the order, he suddenly heard Tao Qian's wild laughter, and those two thunderclap-like statements:

"Secret Demon Child calling Yin Qiye a 'brother disciple'?"

"The great general of the Heavenly Demon Army, the peerless Taishang Demon Son, is actually a Secret Demon Child?"

Some quick thinkers immediately realized this point.

The subsequent change in the next moment solidified this extraordinary, completely overturning fact.

Within the Heavenly Demon Army, already arrayed in the Chiyou Battle Array and contracting from three directions to slaughter everything ahead, a young Black Armored General appeared before the public.

Purely in terms of appearance, this general was only slightly inferior to Ling Qi, and though clearly a Demon Cultivator, had a somewhat honest and gentle look.

Of course, there were also bizarre aspects: fiery red short hair, drifting Demon Flame, a pair of crimson Demon Eyes on his forehead, and an extra pair of arms at his ribs, clutching weapons like the Red Copper Hammer, Iron Rod, etc. Anyone who saw him would commend him as a fierce war general.

It was no wonder that the Rashamon Girl fell in love at first sight and secretly conspired with him.

However, at this moment, this general, the center of everyone's attention, clearly belonged to the Taishang Demon Sect.

After hearing Ling Qi's threatening order, he simply gave him a cold look, then, disregarding his armor, he respectfully saluted Tao Qian from a distance, and loudly said:

"With brother's command, how dare your brother disobey."

"I ask everyone here to witness that today I, Yin Qiye, officially sever ties with the Taishang Demon Sect, from Demon to Demon, henceforth I am a member of the Secret Demon Sect."

As Yin Qiye's voice faded,

Everyone saw a pillar of Heavenly Demon Qi burst forth from his body, a visible transformation occurring swiftly.

Although both are from Demon Sects, the Source Qi refined and absorbed by different sects is essentially different.

The Taishang Heavenly Demon Source Qi, in the blink of an eye, transformed into Secret Demon Origin Qi.

Yin Qiye's Cultivation Realm remained unchanged.

But at this moment, he had transformed from Taishang Demon Son to Secret Demon Child.

At that instant, Tao Qian also heard Master Yuan's voice in his mind.

"Crafty lad, regardless of how you planned it, preserving Yin Qiye's life, he who was chosen by the Taishang Demon Sect to cultivate the 'Chiyou Three Disks Scripture', has an extraordinary talent and constitution, the kind that appears once in a hundred years. If you can bring him under your control, he will be greatly useful in the future."

"Master Yuan, rest assured!"

As Tao Qian conversed,

The entire Demon City, including Ling Qi, as well as those like Huang Chong who were scheming in secret, and the tens of thousands of cultivators and demons watching,

At this moment, had the same expression.

How could this be?

This question was the collective thought of the crowd.

But the truth was exceptionally clear and unmistakable, especially after Yin Qiye publicly converted from Taishang Demon Son to Secret Demon Child in front of everyone, directly controlling the Chiyou Battle Array, deliberately bypassing the camps of the disaster victims, and directly attacking the tens of thousands of bizarre Fungus Demons.

The two sides were old adversaries.

Initially outside Xixia City, the battle between the Heavenly Demons and the Fungus Demons had been undecided.

It was only after Fourth Prince Zhu Xuan had been manipulated and Huang Chong, the Alchemist Saint Child, had brazenly intervened that they were defeated.

Now, with the advantage of fighting on their home ground, and with the battle array set up early, the Heavenly Demon Army almost immediately gained the upper hand.

Each Heavenly Demon Soldier had been first tainted by the Heavenly Demons before being put to use, thus naturally they were hardly afraid of the Fungus Ancestor Spore and its parasitic nature, relying solely on 'devouring' did not work.

Watching his own Demon Army slaughtering the Fungus Demon soldiers, Prince Zhao Ling Qi couldn't feel happy at all.

His complexion was dark and twisted, as if about to drip blood.

The discussions in his ears, almost like sharp blades, kept stabbing at his spirit.

"An earth-shaking change, the Secret Demon Sect really knows how to play the game. Although Yin Qiye is not as dazzling as Ling Qi, he's still a highly regarded Taishang Demon Son of this generation. Such a promising young talent is actually a Secret Demon Dark Child?"

"Counterintelligence, espionage, how long has the Secret Demon Sect been planning this? Are there Secret Demon Dark Children among the True Disciples of other sects?"

"Very likely. I've heard that the Secret Demon Sect has been planning for hundreds of years, spreading the Secret Demon Skills with special techniques, thus placing Secret Demon Children within the Daoist, Buddhist, and Demon Sects, and even those closed millennium families."

"Grand gesture! The Secret Demon Sect is truly the leading Demon Sect. They are plotting a major comeback all at once."

"Didn't you hear what the Primordial Demon Manifestation Saint True Monarch said earlier? The Secret Demon Sect has already colluded with the Primordial Sect. Daoist and Demon collaboration, such a rare occurrence."

"Ling Qi, this guy is so arrogant and oblivious to the principle that winning favors leads to support while losing them leads to isolation, he deserves to fail."

...

Under the Mountain and River Map, on that Heaven Rank,

Ling Qi stared fiercely at Yin Qiye and Tao Qian.

Especially the former, the hatred garnered from Ling Qi now topped everyone else in the venue.

No superior hates a traitor.

At this moment, Ling Qi not only hated, it could be said that his hatred was deep in his bones.

He and his father had placed extreme trust in Yin Qiye, thus handing him command of the Heavenly Demon Army, even bestowing upon him the Exotic Treasure "Chiyou White Bone Flute" which perfectly controlled all Heavenly Demon Soldiers, forming the 'Chiyou Slaughter God Formation' that moved and operated as desired.
