Chapter 719 - The Secrets of a Terminator (6)
Liu Huo lowered his eyes and did not know how to continue.
Ji Fengyan could tell Liu Huo’s low spirits. She could not help but took a step forward to hug him.
“Thank you. I know that you wanted to protect me.” It was up to Liu Huo to decide whether to tell her these, and everything was because of her. He had already warned her early and had the best intentions for her.
Liu Huo was slightly stunned, but soon, his gaze became gentle.
Luckily, she endured the truth.
Ji Fengyan had endured it.
Instead of saying that she had endured and accepted it, it was more of because she had no choice.
This body originally had never been hers. She should have died under the lightning from the heavenly tribulation, but she had survived and gained herself a body. What other choice did she have?
It was just that the history of her body was really a headache to her.
The inner core that Ji Fengyan was cultivating was a part of her soul so it had no link to this body.
But…
If this body was a hybrid of a human and demon, then… it would not be that easy for her immortal ascension.
At least a part of her demon blood in her body would not recover with her inner core and follow her to her immortal ascension.
“I should have known that God would not be that kind.” Ji Fengyan clenched her teeth.
Liu Huo did not understand why Ji Fengyan had said that and she did not explain further and only patted Liu Huo’s shoulders.
“Now that I know everything, I intend to let Zhan Fei stay alive.” Ji Fengyan rubbed her chin. Truthfully, she did not like the feeling of being under someone’s control and being used. The reason she had inherited the identity of a terminator and joined the battle was because she wanted to receive reward and absorb more spiritual energy to recover her inner core and ascend to the immortal world.
But now…
Knowing that she was someone who was being watched, and could be used anytime, and a monster that could be dragged out to become juiced for blood, her plan had to change.
The Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon was no longer a place she could rely on.
However, there were still things she had to settle. After she had escaped, then she could leave this place that was just making use of people.
“Forget it, I shall capture the Plains of Corpses first. Before Situ Ba died, he mentioned that there were one new and old Demon King here…” Ji Fengyan looked up at the huge palace in front of them.
Liu Huo said, “This is a good chance.”
“Hmm?” Ji Fengyan raised her brows.
Liu Huo said, “There is only one Demon King among a group of demons. Do you know why there will be a new Demon King born when the previous Demon King was still around?”
Ji Fengyan laughed softly and said, “To hand over the throne?”
Liu Huo shook his head.
“To nourish his demonic powers.”
Ji Fengyan was slightly taken aback.
Liu Huo continued, “The birth of a new Demon King was not to inherit anything. It was only a life that was born before an old Demon King lost his demonic powers. A Demon King had extremely high powers even if they were just born and so long as the old Demon King consume the newborn Demon King, he can absorb that power and nourish his depleted demonic powers.”
Ji Fengyan, “…”
She felt that this world was too exciting!
Not only had humans used the hybrid of humans and demons to battle, the old Demon King had even eaten his own son to nourish himself!
She felt that she needed some time to reconstruct her understanding of this world.
“If you want to reclaim the Plains of Corpses, it’s best that you do it before the old Demon King eats the new Demon King,” Liu Huo reminded her.

Mou Bei: Yes.
