Chapter 490 Her Identity
Even though Jiu Meng had remained calm after losing an arm, her expression twisted when she heard the word "one hundred years".
"This bird is too huge; if it falls, it will crush the entire city."
“My people are numerous in this city. If you intend to massacre them, then there is no need for us to talk anymore.”
Unlike the demons they usually encountered, Jiu Meng was more like a wise and benevolent monarch.
Yun Yici pondered for a moment.
"Have any of the demons under your control ever raided the human realm and devoured spiritual flesh?"
Jiu Meng: "Never."
"We have never attacked humans unless they initiate an invasion."
Yun Yici readily agreed, "Alright, I trust you. I'll put the Light Bird away."
She leaped onto the light bird's head and placed one hand on its proud and dazzling crest feathers.
The spiritual energy given cannot be taken back.
Yun Yici's red lips moved slightly, and the spiritual power in the light bird was gradually drawn away, dissipating into the distance along with the attached wind feathers.
The light bird also began to shrink gradually.
Yun Yici didn't give Jiu Meng any chance. He waited for the light bird to shrink to a similar size, then quickly inserted one hand into the bird's body and put away the light core.
Jiu Meng looked displeased, but seeing that Yun Yici had put away the giant light bird, she still didn't say anything.
After entering Heavenly Punishment City, the group discovered that this city was indeed different from the demon cities they had seen along the way.
First of all, although the main color of the streets is still gloomy, they are very clean.
The demons walking on the street were not as frenzied as those outside, and their clothing was more open and unrestrained.
Even these demons would bow and respectfully address Jiu Meng as "Lord Jiu Meng" when they saw him.
This was not due to the pressure from the high-ranking demons, but rather a heartfelt expression of respect.
The demons in the City of Divine Punishment did not show any greed when they saw Yun Yici and his companions; instead, they felt a hidden resentment.
They all witnessed Yun Yici severing Jiu Meng's arm.
Jiu Meng led everyone back to her Demon Palace.
The Demon Palace was simple and elegant, with everything in perfect order. Yun Yici almost thought she had accidentally entered the palace of a royal family in the mortal realm.
The presence of the demon servants coming and going constantly reminded them of their location.
"Lord Jiu Meng, your hand..."
Almost all the attendants in the hall saw Jiu Meng's missing arm.
Jiu Meng calmly said, "It's nothing, you may all leave."
She turned to look at Yun Yici: "No one in the Demon Clan knows medicine, and the demonic herbs that grow in the Demon Realm are harmful to you human cultivators."
"You should bandage your hand yourself."
Yun Yici had already used her spiritual power to seal her bleeding wound.
At this moment, Jiu Meng mentioned it, and the emperor's expression changed. He reached out and pushed up Yun Yici's left sleeve, wanting to check her wound.
Yun Yici helplessly avoided his movements: "I'm fine, let's go in, business is more important."
Even with a severed hand, Jiu Meng remained so resilient; she only suffered a sword cut, how could she be so dramatic?
Lin Yu pulled Di Zhao aside and whispered, "I'll take a look at her later."
Jiu Meng glanced at her bare left arm: "Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
Jiu Meng left gracefully, and as soon as she was gone, the Emperor couldn't wait to say, "Xiao Ci, let Lin Yu take a look at you now."
Everyone gathered around to check on her injuries.
Under so many concerned gazes, Yun Yici had no choice but to open her left palm for everyone to see.
"It's nothing. I used Huai Chuan to paddle myself to stay alert. It'll be fine in a few days."
A sword wound ran across the woman's fair palm, the deep, bone-revealing mark a shocking sight.
Rinyu hissed and gasped, "You're really ruthless to yourself. If you had used just a little more force, half of your hand would have been chopped off."
Shen Huaichuan said from the side, "It's because Huaichuan is too sharp."
Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan took out various hemostatic medicines from their storage bags and handed them to Lin Yu, letting him choose the best ones to use.
In no time, Lin Yu had bandaged Yun Yi Ci's hand wound.
"It's best not to use your left hand during this period."
Yun Yici knew this without needing to be told.
But when it comes to a life-or-death situation, as long as you can keep your life, it doesn't matter if you have to give up your other limbs.
The emperor lowered his head and gazed silently at Yun Yici's bandaged hand.
He felt ashamed that he hadn't noticed Yun Yici's injury immediately and had instead been caught up in his own selfish emotions.
In fact, if he had been more alert and hadn't fallen asleep, he wouldn't have left Yun Yici to face Jiu Meng alone, which forced her to hurt herself.
Yun Yici noticed the Emperor's gaze and quickly hid her hands in her sleeves: "You don't need to worry, I'll be fine tomorrow."
"Speaking of which, something suddenly came to mind."
"When I severed Jiu Meng's hand, her hand turned into a blood mist that exploded and filled the sky."
"The demons I encountered before did not have flesh and blood."
The others didn't see that scene, and Xie Qianjue couldn't help but speculate: "Does Junior Sister mean that Jiu Meng is the same as a human?"
"Or perhaps, the demon race has evolved into another branch of humanity?"
Yun Yici shook her head: "I don't know why Jiu Meng is acting strangely either. However, in your dreams, someone told me that Jiu Meng is not a demon."
"I'm afraid we'll have to ask Jiu Meng herself to find out."
After everyone finished speaking, Jiu Meng went to the back hall and changed her clothes, but her left sleeve was empty and unsupported.
It seems her recovery ability isn't as strong as they imagined.
"Everyone, take a seat."
Jiu Meng sat down at the head of the table and looked at Yun Yi Ci: "You said before that you wanted to do a deal with me. What would it take for you to hand over the Light Core to me?"
Yun Yici said directly, "Tell me first, are you really a demon?"
Jiu Meng's expression froze instantly, and she said sarcastically, "If I'm not a demon, then what am I?"
But Xie Qianjue clearly stated that Jiu Meng was not a demon.
Yun Yici changed the subject: "Then what do you need the light core for?"
Jiu Meng smirked, "Everyone wants good things, doesn't they?"
If this female cultivator hadn't taken such a desperate gamble, and if she hadn't been unable to deal with the enormous light bird infused with a great deal of spiritual power, why would she have sat down here to negotiate with them?
Yun Yici took out a light core from her sleeve: "Talking to you is so tiring, I want to hear the truth."
"If you don't tell me, I'll crush it."
Jiu Meng's eyes gradually sharpened: "You're welcome to try."
"Click."
A faint sound came from Yun Yici's hand.
Jiu Meng was so shocked that she stood up abruptly, and Lin Yu, who was standing next to her, almost pounced on her as well.
"you......"
Yun Yici said, "Anyway, this thing is useless to me."
Jiu Meng gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll tell you, that's my core, give it to me."
“You were guided here by him, because he came to find me.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Having no other choice, Jiu Meng patiently explained, "I descended from the upper realm to the Earthly Spirit Realm. The beings here nurtured me, allowing me to develop consciousness."
"Because I landed in the Demon Realm, by some twist of fate, the demons gained the power of reproduction."
"My existence has caused an imbalance in the three realms. If this continues, the demon realm will surely endanger the human realm and the demon realm."
