Chapter 820 – Do You Still Think I Am Dead?

"Talk? I have nothing to say to a human." The Demon Emperor's voice suddenly resounded inside Yuan's head.

"That's odd. You had plenty to say before when you were fighting the demon sealers."

"…"

After a moment of silence, the Demon Emperor asked him in a puzzled voice, "You're not scared of me? You're just a mere Spirit Lord. I have killed tens of thousands of cultivators like you without breaking a sweat before. What are you thinking, approaching me? I may be weakened right now due to Blood Separation, but I still have more than enough strength to kill you even in my current state."

The Demon Emperor was intrigued by Yuan's actions that did not make sense.

"Like I said, I only wanted to talk. It's been a while since I last had a proper conversation with a demon like you." Yuan said.

And he continued, "You know, when I first saw you in the arena, I had a feeling that I had seen you before. Now that I think about it, there was one demon back then that had the same characteristic as you. What was his name again? Demon Emperor 'Carnage'?"

The blob of blood visibly trembled after hearing its name come from Yuan's mouth.

"Y-You… Who are you? Why do you know my demon name?" The Demon Emperor exclaimed in a dazed voice.

It has been countless years since it last heard of its own demon name.

Yuan didn't answer the Demon Emperor's question and continued to speak, "There were nine of you in the beginning, but most of the Demon Emperors perished during that big fight between the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Clan. Near the end of that fight, three of you fled from the battlefield."

"The Demon Sealing Clan searched for you demons for thousands of years, but their efforts were unfruitful, and even the Divine Paragon was unable to find you. However, after millions of years, you suddenly show up in the most awkward fashion."

"I know you're stronger than the current Leader of the Demon Sealing Clan, so I can only assume that you'd allowed yourself to be restrained for some reason. You even went through the efforts of faking your own death… Why?"

"A pretty good topic, right? Let's begin with where you demons had hid after fleeing from the fight."

"…"

The Demon Emperor was left speechless by Yuan's story, and it could not comprehend where Yuan could've heard such a thing from, as such information should've disappeared with the passage of time.

After all, millions of years have passed since the fight. Even if the Demon Sealing Clan had recorded the information somewhere, it would require a miracle for that record to last for so long.

"Where did you hear such a thing? It's clearly bullshit." The Demon Emperor decided to deny Yuan's claims.

"There's no point denying it, Demon Emperor Carnage. If you tell me where you hid, I will tell you how I learned such information." Yuan said.

However, the Demon Emperor remained silent.

"Fine, if you don't want to answer this question, we can try another question." Yuan said, treating it almost like an interview of sorts.

"Are the other two Demon Emperors still alive? I know demons are truly immortal in the sense that they can live until the end of time if nobody tries to kill them, but nothing will last forever."

Once again, the Demon Emperor remained quiet.

Yuan didn't mind it and continued to ask the Demon Emperor questions.

In the end, the Demon Emperor refused to answer any of his questions.

"Quite the uncooperative one, aren't you?" Yuan chuckled casually, acting completely calm before the Demon Emperor that could attack him at any moment.

"Since you don't want to answer any of my questions, I will have to try and answer them by myself."

After taking a deep breath, Yuan continued, "After fleeing from that fight, you and the other two Demon Emperors probably fled to one of the forbidden zones since most cultivators avoid those places like it's a plague, and even peak cultivators don't dare to approach these zones due to its dangerous environment that can instantly kill even an Immortal, but since you're demons, you don't have to worry about dying, making the forbidden zones the best sanctuary for demons."

"If I have to make a gamble on whether there are currently more demons in these forbidden zones or not, I would bet all of my money on the former."

"In fact, I would even dare to say that most of the demons that still exist can be found in these forbidden zones. If the Demon Sealing Clan, or any family with sufficient powers find out, they will surely do whatever it takes to get rid of demons once and for all."

"Now, let's talk about—"

Yuan suddenly halted his words and activated his movement technique, dodging a sudden sneak attack from the Demon Emperor.

The blob of blood also started transforming, and the Demon Emperor returned to its original appearance the next moment.

"I don't know who you are or what you want, but I cannot allow you to live for another minute." The Demon Emperor glared at Yuan with serious killing intent in its gaze.

"Are you sure you want to do that? What will you do if the others notice your presence and find you? You'll definitely die this time, especially since you're in that pathetic state." Yuan asked.

"Even if I die today, I will make sure to take your life first."

The Demon Emperor used Blood Sphere to contain Yuan the next moment. It was clearly prepared to sacrifice its life to make sure that Yuan wouldn't reveal the demon's sanctuary.

Seeing the Blood Sphere around him, Yuan smiled behind his mask and spoke in a calm voice, "To tell you the truth, I already knew that you demons were hiding within the forbidden zones. I was just too lazy to do anything about it, and my supply of demon cores was filled to the brim after that battle, so I didn't chase you lots."

"What…?" The Demon Emperor's eyes widened with shock after hearing Yuan's words, as he sounded like someone it knew… and feared.

Yuan removed his mask a moment later, revealing his handsome face and the cold smile on it.

"Do you still think I am dead?" Yuan suddenly asked the Demon Emperor, who was completely frozen from shock after the reveal.
