Upon hearing this, Su Mo furrowed his brow.
The dead cannot be resurrected. This is a law of heaven and earth, something no one can change—unless one is powerful enough to achieve eternal life.
Clearly, Qu Luo had not reached that level of power, or else he wouldn’t have died.
To think he still wants to return to the world of the living under these circumstances?
’He must be daydreaming!’
The Undying Demon Tiger seemed to have read Su Mo’s mind. It took a deep breath and explained, "Qu Luo isn’t trying to resurrect himself as a normal human. He wants to revive himself as a powerful Evil Demon."
These so-called Evil Demons are several times more powerful than Evil Spirits. They are the most wicked and malevolent Demons in existence, requiring vast amounts of fresh blood daily to nourish their souls. When they go berserk, they will go on a killing spree.
To this end, Qu Luo built a grand tomb for himself before he died. He also captured all sorts of Demon Beasts and forced them to breed within Qu Luo’s Tomb, providing him with a never-ending supply of fresh blood and flesh.
"So you’re saying we are all offerings he prepared for himself?"
the Black Demon Wolf asked.
The Undying Demon Tiger nodded. "That’s right. Back then, he deliberately lured me into Qu Luo’s Tomb, drained my blood and flesh, and then imprisoned my soul, refining me into an Evil Spirit for him to command."
Upon learning the truth, the Black Demon Wolf’s face turned deathly pale, and its entire body began to tremble violently.
It had originally thought there was no danger in Qu Luo’s Tomb and that it could live a carefree life. Who would have thought they had been targeted as sacrifices long ago?
Furthermore, before his death, Qu Luo scattered all the Treasures he had accumulated throughout his life in Qu Luo’s Tomb. The tomb opens once every ten years to attract humans to come and seize these Treasures.
These humans, in their quest for the Treasures they coveted, would often lose their minds to greed. In the end, they all walked into the Array of Ten Thousand Undying Demons and became a feast for the Qu Luo Evil Demon.
"This Qu Luo... he’s so ruthless!"
the Black Demon Wolf said through gritted teeth.
Among those who came to Qu Luo’s Tomb for treasure, aside from the prodigies of the Eighteen Kingdoms, most were disciples of the Beast Taming Sect—Qu Luo’s own descendants.
Qu Luo didn’t even spare his own descendants. His methods were truly vicious.
Su Mo’s brow tightened. "So, all of this was Qu Luo’s conspiracy?"
Everyone thought Qu Luo had built the grand tomb to train his descendants and provide opportunities for them.
Who could have known that Qu Luo was actually such a heartless scumbag?
Even a vicious tiger won’t eat its own cubs.
It now seemed that the reason Qu Luo’s Tomb had opened ahead of schedule and out of control was also the Qu Luo Evil Demon’s doing, which was why Su Mo hadn’t had time to destroy the Heaven-Suppressing Royal Mansion.
The Undying Demon Tiger advised, "Senior, you should leave quickly, before Qu Luo discovers you. Don’t fall for the Qu Luo Evil Demon’s schemes and become its sacrifice."
However, Su Mo shook his head and refused.
He had arranged to meet with the Xiao Family at the core of Qu Luo’s Tomb. If he left now, wouldn’t he be sending the Xiao Family to their deaths for nothing?
He couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing.
Su Mo said, "Take me to the core of Qu Luo’s Tomb. I’m going to destroy the Qu Luo Evil Demon."
"What? Senior, you want to destroy the Qu Luo Evil Demon?"
The Undying Demon Tiger said in astonishment, "Although that Qu Luo hasn’t fully formed yet, it is incredibly powerful. Are you sure about this, Senior?"
"I’m sure!"
Su Mo said without a moment’s hesitation.
If he didn’t kill the Qu Luo Evil Demon now, once it fully formed and escaped, it would go on a rampage throughout the Eighteen Kingdoms, and he would inevitably be dragged into it.
Given the choice, it was better to eliminate the Qu Luo Evil Demon now and prevent any future disasters.
Seeing Su Mo’s resolute attitude, the Undying Demon Tiger could only brace itself and agree. "Alright, I’ll take you to kill the Qu Luo Evil Demon now. But the closer we get to the core of Qu Luo’s Tomb, the more Undying Demon Beasts there will be. You’ll have to listen to me on the way, Senior."
"Alright!"
Su Mo agreed.
Under the Undying Demon Tiger’s guidance, Su Mo and the others soon arrived deep within the Array of Ten Thousand Undying Demons, approaching the core of Qu Luo’s Tomb.
"Senior, the core of Qu Luo’s Tomb is just ahead!"
the Undying Demon Tiger whispered.
Su Mo asked, surprised, "This fast?"
The Undying Demon Tiger nodded.
Then, it pointed to a giant pit nearby and said, "To get to the core of Qu Luo’s Tomb, we must go around the Undying Demon Beast nest. There are a full eight thousand Undying Demon Beasts in there. If we startle them, we’ll die without a burial place."
CRACK...
Just then, the sound of a bone shattering suddenly reached their ears.
In an instant, everyone’s hair stood on end.
The Undying Demon Tiger cursed, "Shit! Which son of a bitch stepped on a bone?"
The Striped Demon Tiger quickly stepped forward to stop him. "Dad, don’t curse! It was me. If you keep cussing, you’ll be calling yourself a turtle."
’This rebellious son!’
The Undying Demon Tiger glared furiously at the Striped Demon Tiger.
It had just finished its warning, and the Striped Demon Tiger had already stepped on a bone. Wasn’t he trying to get them all killed?
The Striped Demon Tiger said aggrievedly, "There are just too many scattered bones here. I had nowhere to step and accidentally crunched one."
The Undying Demon Tiger was helpless.
Just then, a cold voice shouted from ahead, "Undying Demon Tiger, how dare you conspire with humans and betray our master."
"Damn it, it’s the Undying Demon Eagle."
the Undying Demon Tiger exclaimed, its expression changing drastically.
Startling the Undying Demon Eagle was the same as startling all the Undying Demon Beasts in the nest. They would be hunted down, killed, and torn to pieces.
’It’s over!’
’It’s completely over.’
THUMP THUMP THUMP!
Sure enough, the Undying Demon Beasts in the nest were all alerted, and they charged toward them in a swarm.
The Undying Demon Tiger said guiltily to Su Mo, "Senior, it’s all my rebellious son’s fault for being careless and ruining your plan. You should run!"
"It’s fine!"
Su Mo said calmly, "Since the plan has been exposed, we’ll just kill them all and walk over their corpses."
"Senior, are you serious?"
the Undying Demon Tiger asked, stunned.
That was a full eight thousand Undying Demon Beasts. Was he sure he could kill them all?
Just then, the Undying Demon Eagle arrived before Su Mo and the others, flanked by a hundred other intelligent Undying Demon Beast Evil Spirits.
Behind them was a dense army of Undying Demon Beasts.
The Undying Demon Eagle stared menacingly at the Undying Demon Tiger. "You really have betrayed our master. I have no choice but to send you to him to suffer the torment of Purgatory."
BANG!
The moment the Undying Demon Eagle finished speaking, it was struck by a fist. All the bones in its body were pulverized, leaving only the green light of its Evil Spirit.
The Undying Demon Eagle was dumbfounded.
Its eyes were the sharpest of all the Undying Demon Beast Evil Spirits, yet it hadn’t been able to see who had struck it.
’How strange.’
The Undying Demon Eagle turned to its side and asked, "Did you see who that was just now?"
The Undying Demon Beast Evil Spirits beside it shook their heads in confusion.
They hadn’t seen who attacked either.
The Black Demon Wolf asked, "Senior, was that you?"
"It was my wife!"
Su Mo said, pointing at Xiao Qingxue.
Xiao Qingxue said sheepishly, "I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to test my strength."
