Tan Jing took a sip of spiritual wine and whispered: "It's like this, about a thousand years ago, I had not joined the Star Alliance at that time, and my cultivation level was only at the level of the primary demon god..."
"One day, I was in a small forest in the Demon Realm, looking for mineral veins. Suddenly, a powerful black light burst out from the mountain. I thought it was some kind of treasure that had come to the world, so I hurriedly dived in, but I saw
Yes, but it’s not a treasure.”
"In an isolated mountain, a large dark tomb emerged from below. Although I couldn't see it very clearly at the time, I saw a figure coming out of it..."
"Later, I was hiding there, and I saw a group of black mist coming from a distance, and I fished out a human figure from this big tomb."
"That black mist finally turned into a demon, namely Xie Tian." Tan Jing told this story from more than a thousand years ago.
"Xie Tian? The person he fished out is your alliance leader?" Ye Chu was a little surprised.
Tan Dingding nodded and said: "Yes, it should be our alliance leader. Our alliance leader may have had an accident, or he may have been staying in that big tomb..."
"At that time, I vaguely saw that Xie Tian did not salute our alliance leader. If our alliance leader was really the Demon Lord back then, then Xie Tian was one of the four loyal war gods under the Demon Lord back then and would definitely salute him.
"Tan Jing said.
Ye Chu disagreed: "Isn't it too far-fetched for you to think that he is not the Demon King because he didn't salute him?"
"Of course this is not the only thing. Later I heard that Xie Tian and Gui Li betrayed the Star Alliance again. The leader of the alliance even pursued and killed him personally. I heard that he even killed General Gui Li half to death. If Xie Tian Hengkong hadn't been born
, if Gui Li is rescued, maybe both of them will die."
He added: "It happened that I was also near Vast Immortal City at that time. At that time, I took my two nephews to Vast Immortal City, where the Star Alliance is stationed, and I picked up this one..."
After saying that, he turned over his right hand and took out a broken black jade slip.
"What is this?" Ye Chu took a look and saw that there was a strong rotten atmosphere in this broken jade slip.
Tan Jing condensed a ball of black energy from his right hand and entered the broken jade slip. Soon, a voice came from the broken jade slip.
"Brother Tian, leave quickly and I'll hold him back!"
"No, we must live together and die together!"
"No, this boy has inherited the blood of the monarch. Now he is at his peak. You and I are no match for him. Come on..."
It turned out that this piece of broken jade slip had just imprinted a sound from that time, and Ye Chu could tell that one of the people's voices was that of Xie Tian.
The other one should be Gui Li. Although this voice only contains a few hasty dialogues between the two, the last sentence does mention that this new leader has inherited the blood of the monarch, which means that he is not the real one.
Demon King.
"So that's it."
Ye Chu smiled: "It seems that you know the secret of your alliance leader. You are really not afraid of death. You still dare to keep this thing..."
"Well……"
Tan Jing's neck felt cold and he said: "Actually, I have been wandering around the vast Immortal City these past few years, because at that time the alliance leader evacuated almost all the people in this area, but I still took the initiative to stay here and help the alliance.
Inquire about the news in this area..."
"I don't dare to go back either, for fear that if the alliance leader finds out about this, he will definitely kill me and silence me."
Tan Jing's words made Ye Chu raise his eyebrows: "Are the masters of the Star Alliance all followers of the Demon King back then?"
"kindness……"
Tan Jing nodded and said: "In ancient times, the demon king's strength was astonishing. He had four war gods, hundreds of war clans, and tens of billions of demon soldiers following him!"
"But the Immortal Lord at that time was also powerful and should not be underestimated. At that time, the Immortal Lord was fighting against the Demon Lord. In order to protect the demon soldiers and generals under him, he sealed his Yuanling and fell into the Immortal Demon together with the Immortal Lord at that time.
Ya..."
"Many demons at that time were blessed by this, so there have always been legends in the Demon Realm that the Demon Lord will return again. These demons also swore to follow the Demon Lord to the death. I think maybe Xie Tian and Gui Li discovered him and
He is not a real demon king, so he is hunted down by the alliance leader." Tan Jing guessed.
After hearing this, Ye Chu smiled and said: "It seems that you have mastered a big secret of your alliance leader. You can't go back to the Star Alliance."
"Yes, that's why I have been staying near this vast fairy city all these years. Under the pretext of seeking information, I don't dare to go back when I stay here."
Tan Jing sighed: "Fortunately, Xiao Xiao is not actually a demon. It doesn't matter if he doesn't go back. He is quite comfortable staying here."
"That's right, the time of the curse seal in my body is about to expire. I have to go back then. Thinking of that time gives me a headache." He added.
"The curse mark in the body?" Ye Chu was a little surprised.
An imperceptible light flashed in Tan Jing's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The Star Alliance has always been very strict with its subordinates. In order to prevent their subordinates from betraying, they will plant curse seals in the souls of most of their subordinates."
"Every once in a while, if you don't go back and recover, the curse mark in the soul will explode, making people worse than death, or even fall directly. It is very vicious." He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ye Chu.
"So that's it." Ye Chu was not surprised at all by such means.
Otherwise, how would the Star Alliance manage the people below? Everyone is a master of cultivating immortals. Who would really be willing to work as a coolie for others? It is not surprising to use this method.
Seeing that Ye Chu didn't say anything more, Tan Jing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his eyes. He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something else.
"Haha, I know exactly what you are thinking..."
Seeing him like this, Ye Chu was a little amused: "Do you want me to help you remove the curse seal from Yuan Ling?"
"Please, sir, help me save this little one..."
Tan Jing was immediately overjoyed and quickly knelt down to Ye Chu: "I will follow Master Ye to the death from now on, and I will never dare to have second thoughts..."
"You are really not young at this age..."
Ye Chu smiled faintly. It can be said that this Tan Jing does not have much longevity, but his cultivation is still good.
"Please help me, sir..."
Tan Jing kept a low profile in front of Ye Chu, always treating himself as a villain.
"Do you know that even if you follow me, I will put a curse seal on your Yuanling. Isn't this the same? Why should you?" Ye Chu said.
Tan Jing said: "I would rather be cursed by you than bear the curse of the Star Alliance..."
"I'm afraid this is what you mean."
Ye Chu smiled. Although he looked like a jerk, he didn't look like a bad person.
And this old guy Tan Jing can be considered a wise choice.
