Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 287 Demon Seed

“Those women must be settled in Jiangyun Valley first…” On the Qingshui Platform, Xue Lan and Ji Jinjin walked forward side by side.

"After all, in this mortal world, public opinion can be incredibly powerful."

"But Senior Sister, don't worry. Xiao Wu sent the magpie over last night, saying that he has discussed it with His Majesty of Da Shun. He is willing to create new identities for women who are afraid of the world's gaze and do not want to return home."

Xue Lan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "Then I'm relieved."

Ji Jinjin looked at Xue Lan: "Senior Sister, do you trust Xiao Wu that much?"

Xue Lan raised her eyelids slightly: "Otherwise what? I raised all of you, do you think I don't know whether you're reliable or not?"

Ji Jinjin was speechless for a moment.

The woman clutched her chest and said, "Senior sister, your words are so hurtful. The injury I suffered two years ago is about to flare up again."

Xue Lan gritted her teeth: "I learned a whip technique in the Enforcement Hall. Would you like to try it?"

Ji Jinjin retracted her somewhat exaggerated acting: "I didn't want to!"

The two continued walking forward, and soon they arrived at the place where the women and half-demon children were settled.

"Senior sister, do you really have a way to save those children?" Ji Jinjin asked.

Xue Lan shook her head: "It's just a guess. We'll have to go inside and see for ourselves to find out the specifics."

Ji Jinjin nodded, and the two walked into the cave.

Inside the cave, a bustling scene unfolded. A girl dressed in orange had a large basket with candied hawthorns stuck to the side at her feet. She and the soul guide beside her were looking at the two children in front of them with a puzzled expression.

"Have you already eaten?" Xue Tong asked one of the children.

The child shook his head quickly, pointing to the figure beside him that looked like a mirror image of himself: "It's not me, it's my brother!"

"It wasn't me, I didn't eat any, my younger brother ate two."

With everyone talking back and forth, Xue Tong felt like her head was about to explode.

The girl touched her forehead: "Am I destined to be a stay-at-home mom for the rest of my life?"

I'm here in Linyun County with the abducted children, and I'm here with these children.

A kind-looking woman stepped forward and grabbed the two children from behind: "Don't bully your sister, you two just ate four of them."

Xue Tong: "Huh?"

I've eaten... four!

Seeing Xue Tong's embarrassed expression, Xue Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The next moment, her smile vanished.

For no other reason than that she sensed a terrifying gaze.

Xue Tong: "Is it funny?"

“How… of course it’s not funny!” Xue Lan said righteously, her expression as stiff as a carved stone statue.

Xue Tong handed the candied hawthorn basket to Yinhun, then walked up to Xue Lan and the other person and spoke:

“I inquired among these women before, and those women you mentioned who were taken away for sacrifice were all women who gave birth to true human-demon hybrids.”

"A human demon?" Ji Jinjin looked at Xue Lan beside her.

"As expected." Xue Lan said softly:

"The demons are forcing these women, just as they were doing to cultivate human-demon."

"The Heavenly Dao of the Yuanming Realm despises the Demon Race. Although all the Demon Races have always coveted the Yuanming Realm, they have no way to actually tamper with the Lei Kui Grand Array. They can only find some scoundrels and spies. But with the Human Demon, everything is different..."

"girl."

A familiar voice came from behind her, and Xue Lan turned around with a smile: "Ling Die".

The woman who called her name was the one who questioned Xue Lan on the flying boat; her surname was Mo, and her given name was Lingdie.

She had already changed out of her tattered clothes and was carrying Xiao Sheng in her hand.

“I overheard this girl asking about those children.”

Xue Lan's interest was piqued, and she narrowed her eyes slightly: "Those children?"

Mo Lingdie nodded and glanced at the child she was holding.

Xiao Sheng took a step forward and said, "Sister, those older brothers and sisters are different from us. They are all very scary, like those..."

Xiao Sheng dared not say what he was going to say next, but Xue Lan knew what he wanted to say.

"More like a demon."

"The bloodlines of humans and demons are mixed. If the demon bloodline prevails, the child born will become a mindless madman and die young. If the bloodlines of both humans and demons prevail, the child will become like Xiao Sheng and the others."

Xue Lan's fingernails dug into her palm: "The demons are searching for balance..."

Yin Shishi gasped.

"Lingdie, my sect asked me to resolve these children's health problems. Could I take a look at Xiaosheng?"

“Of course.” Mo Lingdie glanced at Xiao Sheng, and the little boy obediently walked up to Xue Lan.

Xue Lan touched the child's wrist, and her divine sense slowly extended into the child's veins.

After examining Xiao Sheng's body, Xue Lan stood up with a smile.

"That's enough, I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Little Sheng nodded obediently: "Thank you, sister."

Ji Jinjin followed Xue Lan out of the cave and finally couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, what about the child's health?"

Xue Lan slowly raised her hand, and a faint black aura appeared in her palm.

"A demonic seed has been planted in this child's heart."

Demonic seeds are the way demon gods control the tribal leaders under their command. After all, not everyone in the demon race is completely devoted to the demon god.

“The demonic seed is deeply rooted, having entered the child’s heart and lungs, and is connected to the demonic energy on his body. If I forcibly suppress the demonic energy on his body, the moment the demonic seed withers will be the moment the child dies.”

As Xue Lan spoke, she let out a soft sigh.

"The last time I encountered such a difficult situation was when Zhuhe had a hidden spiritual root."

Ji Jinjin couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that child?"

“It’s not just that child…” Xue Lan interrupted Ji Jinjin: “All the children here. Or to be even bolder, all the half-demons bred by the demon race, had the demonic seed planted in them long before they were born.”

From birth, they are absolute slaves.

"Senior Sister!" Ji Jinjin looked at Xue Lan, her eyes full of expectation.

Xue Lan said helplessly, "It's always been like this since we were little. Senior sister isn't omnipotent, is she?"

Ji Jinjin shook her head and said very seriously, "In my eyes, Senior Sister is!"

Xue Lan turned around and listened to the sounds of children playing coming from inside the cave.

"That's right, I am the all-powerful senior sister, and I do have a way to solve this problem."

Ji Jinjin's eyes sparkled: "What method?"

"Find something with powerful magic to cut off the demonic energy in the children while secretly replenishing it."

“You wait here patiently…” Xue Lan patted Ji Jinjin’s shoulder:

"I'm going to steal a high-level magic core!"

In the cave below Clear Water Terrace, the Supreme Elder of the War Puppet Mansion was looking at the demon core in his hand, pondering what to do with it.

Just then, a woman's voice, tinged with laughter, came from outside the cave:

"Xue Lan, a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect, requests an audience with Senior Chi Lian."
