Chapter 1415: The High-Stakes Gamble

The real demon forest may be filled with evil energy and abundant spiritual energy, but when viewed from above, it is full of bumps and pits.

Many trees are growing as if they were just born, and even on the sturdy branches of the top giant trees, there are countless rough and uneven scars.

How could the nest of such a supreme demon clan be in such a dilapidated state?

Su Yi was very puzzled. Even when he exerted all his strength, he couldn’t move the stone chamber at all. What kind of energy could make such a world become so desolate and bleak?

"What is this?" Su Yi couldn’t help but ask.

"Exactly! I was just as surprised as you! When I came back from the spatial rift, what I saw was even worse than this! Our Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat’s home, where we have survived for tens of thousands of years, was destroyed like this! Only Miya and the others are still waiting desperately!"

As she spoke, Ling Lanyin’s gaze turned to several young girls in the distance, playing and frolicking with each other. Looking at them, a hint of smile finally appeared between Ling Lanyin’s brows.

Ling Lanyin looked at the devastated demon forest, her eyes full of bitterness and sorrow.

"Among the Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat, there are now only nine of us left. My power has greatly weakened since the great calamity, and all my sisters have become faint ghosts. I can only use all my abilities to rebuild the demon forest and help them recover!"

Su Yi felt his heart tighten as he heard it. Both the Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat and the Nine Lives Cat Demon clan had suffered a huge blow. They truly were a family with a turbulent fate.

However, Su Yi still didn’t understand the connection between this and the Nine Star Valley. Doubts remained in his eyes.

Immediately, a surge of killing intent emanated from Ling Lanyin, as if an awakened god of slaughter. She looked at Tang Wang lying on the ground with icy eyes.

"The demon forest has been destroyed by those people. I will surely seek revenge in the future, but the demon forest of our Nine Spirit clan is in such ruin and they are still so weak, all thanks to the Nine Star Valley!"

As Su Yi listened, he was suddenly shocked, as if he understood something. The Nine Star Valley had occupied the Sealed Thunder Valley and several surrounding valleys for years, using them as their base to grow and expand, eventually forming what it is now.

Surely, some of its secrets were unknown to others.

"Is this place called the Sealed Thunder Valley?" Ling Lanyin said softly.

Without waiting for Su Yi’s response, Ling Lanyin continued speaking.

"The center of Sealed Thunder Valley is the demon forest. The Nine Spirit tribe used to live here, but after a great disaster, the rules of the space in the demon forest changed. It created multiple barriers, making the space rules of the whole Sealed Thunder Valley become strange."

Su Yi gradually understood, and everything made sense. If this wasn’t a place where ancient gods and goddesses lived, why would there be such abundant natural energy?

"Until one day, a young man came to Sealed Thunder Valley and discovered its secret. He created a cultivation method called the ‘Star Record,’ which could absorb the power of stars. From then on, this place became their sect. Since then, the space rules here have been directly disrupted!"

"After the change in space rules, the recovery of the demon forest becomes extremely slow. These creatures, who used to be able to absorb the energy of heaven and earth to restore their bodies, are now only faint spirits. Only the second sister has a higher cultivation level and achieved further progress."

"The entire demon forest has relied on my power to reach this stage of recovery. So, I have become a part of the demon forest. I can’t leave, and my sisters can’t leave either, as they depend on my maintenance."

Ling Lanyin, speaking to herself, became more and more excited. Her demonic aura surged, giving Su Yi an icy-cold and chilling sensation.

"Take away our homes, hinder our recovery, steal our spiritual energy."

Every sect’s rise is destined to have a tragic history, stepping on the corpses of others to move forward. Unfortunately, the Nine Star School stepped on the homeland of the Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat.

Su Yi took a deep breath, his face became extremely serious, and he remained silent for a while.

Among all the secrets, Su Yi heard this for the first time. If they are all true, Tang Wang, as a member of the Nine Star School, cannot escape death.

"Cluck, cluck!"

Su Yi swallowed a gulp of saliva, and once again, his gaze fell upon the heavily scarred demon forest, feeling a deep sense of sadness.

Countless scenes of the flourishing Nine Spirit clan in this place surged in Su Yi’s mind.

Thinking of the charming Ling Miaoyin, the adorable Ling Muyin, and the proud and spoiled Ling Zhiyin and Ling Ruoyin, how could any of them escape from their pitiful fate?

As a lost soul, being able to hang on only relies on his older sister, with no sense of remaining life!

"By the way, lost soul!" A bright thought suddenly appeared in Su Yi’s mind.

Amidst the heavens and earth, purple mist pervaded, covering the sky. The radiant glow remained unchanged for years, shining on Su Yi’s determined face.

Su Yi prepared to make a high-stakes gamble with Ling Lanyin, betting that he would soar to the sky. If he failed, he would lose his life right here.

"Ling Lanyin, I want to make a deal with you!"

Su Yi called out Ling Lanyin’s name, but she remained unmoved, silent, and stood still with a unchanged expression.

In the gusty evening breeze, there was a peculiar gleam in Su Yi’s eyes. At this moment, he had no other way to save Tang Wang but to give it his all.

"You promised Su Tian Que to protect me, but my life is mine to decide. I’ll trade my life for Tang Wang’s life!"

Ling Lanyin sniffed lightly, her eyes flashing with a cold and determined look. Her fists clenched slightly, as if holding onto hope.

"Why?"

"Because I can restore Ling Miaoyin’s physical form, give you back your freedom, and make the demon forest no longer dependent solely on you!"

Ling Lanyin’s crescent-shaped eyes shimmered for a few moments. This wish had been waiting for far too long, and she still couldn’t believe if Su Yi’s words were true.

"For you, there is nothing to lose. Why not give it a try?"

Su Yi was able to make such requests openly thanks to Ling Lanyin.

By studying and daringly experimenting with "The Divine Demonic Ancient Verse," Su Yi and Ling Qianxue successfully merged their souls. The Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique within their bodies originated from a mysterious light cluster.

Ling Qianxue, who entered the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul, once told Su Yi that this place helps with soul recovery.

No one knows the exact effects that the mysterious light cluster could produce if given more power.

Ling Lanyin knew that Su Yi carried many secrets. She had been supporting the demon forest for years, but due to Nine Star Valley’s intervention, she could no longer manage it herself. She had to rely on concealment techniques to hide the demon forest and prevent the loss of the only Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat bloodline.

Despite all this, progress has been slow over the years. Recent frequent abnormalities and changes in the rules of space have left Ling Lanyin’s own demonic energy depleted.

"Can we trust him?"
