Ben Wang Zai Ci / The Legend of Shen Li

Chapter 66 Back to Business

There was silence in the cave for a long time. Shen Li seemed to have remembered something and asked, "I had always forgotten that there was a man in black under Fu Sheng who fell with us. What about him?"

Xing Zhi was startled, shook his head and said with a smile: "Shen Li, even though I have lived for so long, I have only met a woman like you. After an affair, you can immediately turn your back and talk about business. You are really not ambiguous at all." He said this the half-funny, half-helpless ridicule made Shen Li cough unnaturally. 

Xing Zhi looked at her for a while before he stopped laughing and straightened his expression: "The man disappeared when he fell. It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength. It was as if he had just vanished into ashes." Recalling the scene at that time, Xing Zhi frowned slightly, "Such a scene inevitably reminds me of some past events."

The past events that could make Xing Zhi frown, Shen Li looked at him curiously. Xing Zhi raised his eyes and met hers. There was a trace of emotion hidden deep in his eyes. He thought about it for a while and said, "You should have known about the monsters causing chaos in the demon world."

Thousands of years ago, monsters wreaked havoc on the demon world. God Xing Zhi tore open the gaps in space and sealed them all in order to seal Xu Tianyuan. Shen Li knew about this past event. She nodded quietly.

Xing Zhi curled his lips slightly: "I'm afraid you don't know completely. Thousands of monsters appeared in the demon world, but they didn't come out of thin air. They were refined by the previous Demon Lord Liu Ming using forbidden techniques. At the right time, Liu Ming was dissatisfied with the incompetence of the heaven, unwilling to succumb to the heaven, and wanted to take the throne of the emperor of heaven. However, his plan to mobilize the army to attack the heaven was strongly opposed by the ministers of the court, because at that time, the heaven had no merit but also no fault against the devil, if the troops march, they will be blocked for fear of harming the people of the demon world.

"Liu Ming was unwilling to accept it and secretly refined thousands of monsters with the intention of attacking the heaven. However, due to the excessive number and power of the monsters, he was unable to control them. As a result, the monsters wreaked havoc on the demon world, when the demon world was unable to resist. He sent a message to the heaven, the Emperor of Heaven came to look for me. This will lead to the sealing of the monsters."

Shen Li was stunned when she heard this. She remembered the battle with the scorpion-tailed fox. Moreover, a monster that had not fully recovered its magic power made the soldiers of the demon world and her so embarrassed. This shows how powerful thousands of monsters were at that time. Powerful, and such a powerful power was actually refined by one person (Liu Ming). That person... is a bit too scary. His terror does not come from his strength, but from his unsatisfied heart, which creates monsters without restraint. If there is no Xing Zhi, he may harm everyone, including himself.

"At that time, when I first came to the devil world, I fought against monsters for the first time. I didn't know what they were. After only fighting for three days and three nights, I discovered that they were extremely difficult to kill with swords and spells, and even if I killed them, they would only turn into a black energy and be sucked into the stomach by other nearby companions, enhancing the power of another monster."

If so... sealing them is indeed the fastest way. Shen Li couldn't help but sigh at how decisive and clever Xing Zhi's tactics were at that time. Thinking that she had questioned Xing Zhi because of this incident earlier, she felt a little embarrassed.

"At this point, have you thought of anything?" Xing Zhi suddenly asked Shen Li. Shen Li was startled, and then thought about what he just said again, and then her face suddenly turned pale, "Those demons and the man in black chasing after us are somewhat similar to monsters?"
