Chapter 793: Who Leaked the Secret

Chapter 793: Who Leaked the Secret

In the deep of night, the starry sky seemed silent, yet countless people lay awake, restless.

“Master, what shall we do next?”

At this moment, a man named Qin Dao respectfully inquired of an old man who had his back turned, stroking his magic staff.

“There will be an alien star related to demons that will fall. This star will be our opportunity.”

“Then Master, where will this star fall?” Qin Dao asked.

“I can’t specify the exact location, but I can determine a general area. Now, you must act quickly and seize the opportunity of this Demon Star. However, be prepared for defense; after all, every falling alien star carries tremendous destructive power.”

“Understood. Master, please give the orders, and I will devote all my power to you.”

“Qin Dao, we’ve been cooperating for quite a while now.”

The Demon Master Liang Zhao turned around, stroking his long beard as he spoke to Qin Dao.

“Yes, indeed, Master.”

Qin Dao responded humbly, displaying great respect.

“Thanks to your guidance, I, Qin Dao, have achieved what I have today. I am very grateful to you, Master.”

“No need for pleasantries. Qin Dao, this is crucial. It relates to whether you and I can control this realm in the future. Be ready to face death; if necessary, we may end up losing our lives.”

“I am prepared, and I will follow Master’s arrangements,” Qin Dao replied decisively, his momentum strong enough to launch a ship.

Liang Zhao was quite satisfied; Qin Dao completely believed him and demonstrated loyalty.

Now he had led many astray and awakened numerous Demon Spirits, all waiting to seize the opportunity of the Demon Star’s fall to choose their future and path.

This was destiny; no one could stop its arrival.

Ultimately, the Demon Path would prevail in the world, and the future belonged to demons.

However, the Demon Path had factions, the largest of which would be led by Liang Zhao.

…

Liu Shuqin felt increasingly uneasy; she had been unable to sleep for days, often tossing and turning.

Even when she did fall asleep, she would have dreams.

And these dreams were all related to Lin Nuo.

These dreams were real; rather, they were visions seen by her wandering soul from her previous life.

The Demon Star would fall, at Ningzhou Peak, and its fall would change this world.

Today, she dreamt again, about the aftermath of the Demon Star’s fall.

In her dream, at the place where the Demon Star fell, all the water became polluted, turning into water filled with Demon Qi.

Many people and animals drank this water and began to demonize, while some Demon Disciples were enhanced, gaining immense power.

The waters from Ningzhou Peak flowed down, intersecting with civilian streams to be consumed by the people.

Because of this Demon Star, many innocent citizens became cut off from their water supply, and some died from unknowingly drinking the tainted water.

The range of this water flow was extremely wide; wherever it passed was akin to a hell on earth, devoid of life and quiet as death.

This was disaster, a calamity from the heavens that ruined nature and led countless people astray.

Now, she was aware of all this, but it was already too late. The day was fast approaching; she had to evacuate the citizens and aid countless refugees. Such a massive endeavor required resources that could not be gathered in a short time.

More importantly, her Junior Martial Brother Lin Nuo had indeed demonized after jumping into the Magic Spring; he was now on the path of demons.

Thus, she could fully understand Lin Nuo’s words about harming the living; it was indeed true.

However, in this lifetime, he did not seem to be the kind of person to harm others; his achievements had already surpassed most.

So, she still did not know what he intended to do.

But she absolutely had to comprehend his thoughts; otherwise, everything would be in vain.

Yet currently, she had no idea where Lin Nuo was.

Since she couldn’t find him, everything else was hard to discuss.

Now that she knew all this, was there really nothing she could do to change it?

“Are you worried about that star?”

The Demon Spirit sensed Liu Shuqin’s thoughts and transmitted this message.

“You know about that star too?”

“Of course. I am the Demon Spirit derived from Zhang Yuanxu, endowed with abilities and knowledge far superior to other Demon Spirits. The Demon Star will fall, and the Demon Path will run rampant; this fate cannot be changed.”

“I cannot change the falling of the Demon Star. However, I do not wish for my Junior Martial Brother to become a demon; perhaps that can be changed.”

“How did you conclude that he will demonize? Why would he choose to become a demon?”

The Demon Spirit was baffled; honestly, it was hard to imagine that boy becoming a demon.

“You don’t understand; it’s simply the way things are. By the way, if a person becomes a demon due to drinking water tainted by the Demon Star, is there a way to purify them?”

“Do you think I’m the right one to ask this?”

The Demon Spirit was taken aback, realizing it sounded like it was trying to be a saint saving the world while discussing purification.

“Forget it. In any case, I will think of a way.”

Liu Shuqin quickly got up, prepared herself, and immediately rushed towards Ningzhou Peak to communicate with the nearby officials and evacuate the citizens.

She also sent someone to deliver a message to the princess, asking her to find ways to assist the numerous refugees. Since relying on Dong Wei and the royal family was futile, especially in times of great peril, they would surely prioritize self-preservation, regardless of the citizens’ lives.

Only Luo Xiaoxue could help; she hoped this sole royal ember could rise to the occasion.

The situation was indeed urgent; no one knew what was happening and had never heard of any Demon Star falling before.

If it were someone else, they would have been dismissed as spreading rumors.

But Liu Shuqin carried significant weight; plus, she had always prioritized the people, earning the trust of the public.

Everyone began to mobilize, first evacuating from near Ningzhou Peak, as far as they could manage.

At that moment, Lin Nuo was also approaching Ningzhou Peak, starting to observe in secret.

In his previous life, some time had passed after the Demon Star fell, but now that advantage was lost. Once the Demon Star fell, it would attract all sorts of people, from righteous figures to demonic ones; even jumping into the Magic Spring would be fraught with challenges.

Now, having the initiative, once it fell and exploded, he could rush in after things stabilized, getting ahead.

This was the benefit of being a reincarnated individual with memories.

Let’s go; it’s almost time. Perhaps this sword would automatically transform into the true Demon Sword right after he jumped into the Magic Spring; that was entirely possible.

Lin Nuo felt quite puzzled; why were people getting close to Ningzhou Peak in such a hurry to flee?

What the heck? This isn’t right; it didn’t seem like this in his previous life.

Who betrayed the organization and leaked the news?!

Wait a minute, he was the only one who knew the exact location of the Demon Star’s fall, right? Who else would know?

The righteous side surely wouldn’t know.

Filled with doubts, Lin Nuo ran to ask a passerby.

He learned one piece of news:

It was Liu Shuqin. She claimed that a Demon Star was falling at Ningzhou Peak and told the citizens to evacuate immediately.
