"A fate? Your statement is incorrect. It almost cost me my life." Tang Yan tensed his left hand hard and couldn't help but recall the fierce battle outside Zuojia Ancient City. After so many years, the memory was still fresh.
"Please take a seat." Tigris' tone clearly revealed some politeness.
Tang Yan looked at Tigris for a while, then waved his left hand: "Do you know it?"
"possible."
"60% sure, but I need to be sure of one thing."
"If it's confirmed, can you get it off my hands?"
"You can try it."
Tang Yan sat down: "Do you know Youye Forest?"
"Never heard of it."
Tang Yan was silent for a while, then he pulled out the black coffin inside the golden lock, and dropped it heavily on the floor. The tough and heavy force made the hall tremble slightly: "The human face comes from here."
"Tell me more about it." Tigris carefully explored the black coffin, and was surprised to find that he couldn't penetrate it.
"Youye Forest is located between Qitian Continent and the Forgotten War Realm, in a mysterious space." Tang Yan briefly introduced the origin of Youye Forest, as well as the black coffin and cemetery inside.
Tigris listened calmly and carefully, occasionally frowning slightly, and occasionally nodding slowly. This was the first time he heard about this secret, but he was not overly surprised. After all, with the abilities of the Golden Ancient Clan,
Anything can be done.
Finally, Tang Yan said: "Youye Forest involves many secrets. I am afraid that only the highest level of the Golden Ancient Clan know about them. I only know these. But I did get the black coffin from there, and then I brought it out of Youye Forest."
Night forest.
That's when the devil's face started to appear on my hand, and it's been with me ever since.
A few years ago, when I was in danger, he appeared once and exchanged my thousand years of life for madness. Since then, it has completely disappeared. My elders took turns to explore it, but no trace of it was found."
Tigris nodded slowly, thoughtfully.
"I told you what I know, is it your turn?" Tang Yan desperately knew the identity of this demonic face. Anyone who carries a strange human face on their hands every day would feel uncomfortable.
Tigris asked: "You said it has appeared before? In what way did it appear?"
"There came a voice in my mind, claiming to be His Highness, and wanted to make a deal with me. By the way, I was fighting the ancient resentful spirit 'Kappa'. The Kappa seemed to know it and even shouted - The demon is looking for you.
It’s seventy thousand years old!”
A clear sparkle flashed through Tigris' deep eyes, and his gaze fell on Tang Yan's left hand again: "Seventy thousand years, yes, a full seventy thousand years."
"Who are you?" Tang Yan finally confirmed his suspicion.
Tigris no longer kept any reservations and said calmly: "No surprise, it is actually my ancestor, and I am his direct descendant. The reason why I was expelled by the demon clan and was worried about it is precisely because I was with the demon clan.
Its heritage identity.”
"Can I know?"
"Okay, but before that, you have to give it to me." Tigris pointed at the demon face in Tang Yan's hand.
"No problem at all." Of course Tang Yan wanted it.
"Are you sure?" Tigris looked at Tang Yan with strange eyes.
"I don't want to have anything to do with it anymore." Tang Yan was sure.
Tigris looked at Tang Yan seriously: "I solemnly ask you now, if you are willing to give it to me, and you will never regret it in the future. I will only ask you this time, and I will not give you a chance to regret it."
Huh? Are there other secrets in it? Tang Yan was secretly surprised, but still nodded firmly. He really didn't want to carry this thing with him. Even if he regretted it in the future, he didn't believe it was awkward.
"This is your decision." Tigris put his hand on Tang Yan's left hand, and the evil energy as cold as ink wrapped around his left hand and spread to his left arm and half of his body: "Don't resist, I can guarantee that the peeling will be very easy.
It goes well and there will be no sequelae for you."
Tang Yan relaxed himself in his vigilance.
The demonic energy dispersed into thousands of strands and poured into his body. Apart from half of his body becoming hot again, Tang Yan did not feel anything like a tingling sensation.
Tigris' expression was calm, as always, but it was obvious that he was serious and cautious, as if he was caressing a fragile and unique treasure.
The stripping work went smoothly and quickly, much easier than Tang Yan expected.
After about a quarter of an hour, the outline of the face in the palm of the hand gradually faded until it disappeared, and the burning sensation on the left side of the body also faded.
Tigris checked it many times to make sure there was nothing left.
"It's okay. From now on, you will not have any contact with each other." Tigris twisted his hands to wrap up the stripped black air, opened his mouth and swallowed it into his abdominal cavity. His majestic body was slightly tense, and his expression appeared.
There was a little pain, but he soon regained his composure, as if he had suppressed the magic power.
"Is that enough??" Tang Yan looked at his clean left hand and felt his calm body. After confirming that there was no more feeling, he let out a long sigh of relief, and the shadow in his heart disappeared.
He will never forget the scene when he made the deal with the Demon Face, nor its treachery and evil, nor the year-long exhaustion and aging.
An unforgettable experience will never be experienced again.
Now, it's finally lifted.
But recalling Tigris' performance, Tang Yan became more and more curious about the specific origin of the devil face.
"Is it simpler than you expected? It makes sense. We belong to the same demon clan, with the same roots and veins. It is natural to separate and merge. If it were you humans and monsters, you wouldn't even be able to detect any trace of it."
Tigris took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and clenched his right fist hard, as if he was feeling some extraordinary power. A sparkle of light sparkled in his eyes, filled with awe-inspiring power.
Tang Yan stared at Tigris, also waiting for his words.
After a while, Tigris returned to normal: "It is a myth in itself, a hero in the history of the entire demon clan, and the number one criminal of the demon clan today.
The legend about it has been circulating within the Demon Clan, and it has always been at the highest level. Regarding the search for it, the Demon Clan has never given up, from before to now."
While speaking, Tigris waved his hand and re-established a barrier in the room, appearing very solemn. He stared at Tang Yan seriously: "I can introduce to you what I know, and I can also assure you that I
I will not harm you or Beast Mountain. But you need to ensure that everything you heard and saw today is not allowed to be mentioned to anyone, at least not for several years or decades."
"If you can keep your promise, so can I."
Tigris thought for a moment: "A long time ago, maybe a hundred thousand years ago, maybe even longer, the origin of the matter was roughly during that period.
At that time, due to various reasons, the spiritual power reserves of the Forgotten War Realm began to decline significantly. Various ethnic groups fought crazily to compete for more beneficial resources, resulting in a rapid decrease in the number of ethnic groups and an increasing amount of hatred. Looking at the entire world, it would never be the same again.
A moment of peace.
While the top ethnic groups are fighting, they are secretly looking for opportunities to solve this disaster.
Until one day later, a group of people accidentally discovered a mysterious space passage, and many similar passages were discovered one after another, which connected the unknown world.
The announcement of the news caused an uproar and shocked the world.
After that, the major royal families of the demon clan began to form a truce and secret alliance, plotting against the unknown world.
They decided to join forces to steal the resources of the unknown world. If necessary, they were willing to assemble an army of demons to invade and occupy that world.
In order to ensure a smooth operation, the demon clan has made a lot of preparations. The first task is to explore the specific conditions of the unknown world. If it is strong, it will act secretly and secretly steal energy. If it is weak, it will directly annex and occupy it and forcibly enslave it.
After a comprehensive investigation that lasted for a thousand years in the early stage, the news returned made the demons worried, because the unknown world is powerful beyond imagination, and the general environment is relatively stable.
After deliberation, the demons decided to take a secret action first, deploying from the deep sea area to quietly devour the world's energy until it withers.
In order to maintain confidentiality and not alert the overlords of the unknown world, the deployment of the demons can be roughly divided into two directions. One is to secretly form an alliance with the overlord of the deep sea area at that time, and both parties will cooperate with each other and benefit together. The second is to try to disrupt the unknown.
The tranquility of the world causes chaos in the unknown world, so that there is no time to take care of the deep sea area."
Tang Yan listened carefully. These things he had heard from Amber were similar to what Tigris told him. They were all invasions caused by energy depletion, and the demons' selfishness caused the demons to grow bigger, which ultimately led to
With the advent of the era of great destruction, the Golden Ancient Clan invaded the Forgotten War Realm.
"The second strategy is crucial, that is, how to quietly disrupt the unknown world without attracting attention. After a joint decision and detailed discussions, the demons decided to select a demon general to execute it."
"one?"
"Yes, one. The fewer the better. The most important thing is precision, not quantity."
"who??"
"The most suitable choice - the First Prince of the Blood Demon Clan."
"Is it the devil face on my hand?"
