Chapter 308: Possessed by the Devil

Lin Yan's eyes turned and he asked, "From what you said, isn't Youlin the forbidden area now? Although the battle between humans and demons was all for the immortal grass, why is it different from the version I heard from Shi Jing?"

"Because we're all looking at this from the human perspective. This is what the Demon King told me. That great war completely destroyed the entire Skyfall Forest, angering the immortals. Humans were then subjected to numerous restrictions, making the path to immortality extremely difficult. Our bodies weakened, and our lifespans were reduced to a hundred years. The immortals set up an isolation formation in the Deep Forest to prevent demonic beasts from entering or leaving. The demonic beasts within the Deep Forest were sealed away in the forbidden area."

Lin Yan was surprised and said, "Set by a god? Although I wasn't a formation master when I entered that year, I didn't think it was that strong. It looks like it was drawn by a human."

Hong Deng explained, "That was a remnant of a formation that had gone through countless years, with only a trace of its power remaining. Today's formations are all evolved from that remnant, so from your perspective, it certainly looks like something from the human race, and isn't that powerful.

A million years ago, things were very different from today. It was an era when ghosts and spirits were rampant. At that time, it was called a magic circle, which was used by humans to seal and suppress ghosts. "

Lin Yan nodded, "I see."

Hong Deng: “Since then, those who obtained the Impermanence Grass have either gone into hiding or been killed. By my generation, only rumors and stories remain.

The poison of the Impermanence Grass is unstoppable and can kill any species at any level. There is no known countermeasure. Encountering it is like being attacked by a ghost, with nowhere to hide.

After hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly realized: "That's why it's called the Impermanence Grass."

Hong Deng nodded and said, "Well, even someone like me with a million years of cultivation cannot defeat this grass. If killed by the Impermanence Grass, the soul will be scattered and there will be no way to gather the soul and revive it."

"It's so powerful. Xiaolan mentioned a Netherworld Passage to me before, saying that the Impermanence Grass, the Netherworld Sword, and the Ghost Gate belong to the same family of attributes."

"Yes, the Netherworld Passage is more commonly known as a teleportation array. Of course, it's not that. There's a record of it in a forbidden area in the Glazed Forest. The real Netherworld Passage defies the laws of space and time."

"Tanyuan Forbidden Land..." Lin Yan turned his head and looked at Yanluo, who had been silent for a long time. The pool of water that Su Jinghao saw at the bottom of the cliff...

She suddenly realized, "No wonder you were so excited when you saw the Impermanence Grass."

Yan Luo remained silent. Who wouldn't be excited if they were about to be poisoned to death?

The grass moved forward.

Yan Luo's face darkened as he resigned himself to his fate, "The poison of the Impermanence Grass isn't that strong. It simply traces back to the past when it attacks, planting the Impermanence Poison when the enemy is at their weakest. Over the years, you've easily poisoned them to death."

Lin Yan murmured, "The use of the Impermanence Grass opened up a channel to the Netherworld and returned to the past, just like the Ghost Gate. Through the Netherworld Channel, I returned to a million years ago..."

At this moment, Xiao Ye flew back and said, "I noticed something was wrong with you a long time ago."

Xiaolan searched for a long time and finally found a high-quality ice coffin in the storage device. She transferred the lantern ghost's body into the ice coffin and then put it into the storage device.

"Okay, you don't have to be afraid anymore."

"Thank you." Hong Deng said gratefully, then walked in front of Yan Luo. "I thought you were really helping me. With my abilities, even if you obtained my body, you wouldn't be able to control me. I don't understand why you are seeking death."

"Wait," the colorful dragon transformed, "Grandma Red Lantern, we are not trying to control you or gain your power."

Red Light asked, "What's that for?"

The colorful dragon looked at the girl's back, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Lin Yan said it all: "You want to find a new body for Yanluo. This is your purpose, right, Liangtian?"

Yan Luo's body trembled, "How did you know?"

Huanhuan suddenly realized, "Robbery of corpses?"

"Yeah." Xiao Ye tapped his head, "I didn't even think of this."

Lin Yan said to Yanluo, "I can't think of any other reason. I've been chased everywhere by Yanluo, and I've seen how anxious she is about the Cloud Fish Monster. I'm actually very confused. Maybe that's just a way for Yanluo to protect her fellow monsters, but if Yanluo has a brother who's so unscrupulous and shady, how could she have such a personality?"

Yan Luo looked at her hands, "I didn't kill my sister, and she didn't eat me."

The seven-colored dragon gnashed its teeth and said, "That's Jue Ran. He's the one who's willing to do anything to secure his position. He's crazy."

The Lantern Ghost looked at Lin Yan and said, "Jue Ran did it. It seems that you guessed it right. But why did he do it?"

"Crazy, he is a madman."

Xiaolan seemed to have thought of something and said softly, "He's not crazy."

Xiaoye glanced at it and then looked away.

Xuan Ye's words flashed through Xiao Lan's mind repeatedly. She took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said, "Jue Ran... isn't crazy, he's just possessed."

Yan Luo was shocked and asked, "Isn't he a demon?"

Xiaolan explained: "People become demons due to obsession, and people can turn into ghosts after death. All things originally have the same origin, so demons can naturally become demons."

"Do you know why there's a "demon" in the name Qingxiang Magic Orchid? Actually, a long time ago, it was originally called Qingxiang Orchid, and it possessed the most pleasant and unique fragrance in the world.

But fragrance alone is useless. Weak demons are only food for larger demons. Our ancestors hid constantly until one day they encountered a great demon in a thorny, miasmic forest. This gave us a new chance to survive, to become a demon and gain powerful killing power."

Xiaolan looked at Lin Yan and said, "After that, the Demon Orchid flourished for tens of thousands of years. That was a period when the dragon clan disappeared. We led the demon clan to the highest position, and the Demon King became the ruler of the entire Tianluo Forest.

Then, with the rise of humanity, monks emerged among them, dedicated to exorcising demons and monsters. To avoid humanity, more and more Qingxianglan chose to remain as they were, no longer cultivating the magical path. As time passed, they returned to their original form. Even now, most demonic beasts and humans have actually forgotten the terrifying nature of the Molan clan.

The colorful dragon was still in shock. It had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was becoming more and more terrifying.

"Definitely crazier than the demons!"

Xiaolan was curious about why the dragon kept saying Jue Ran was crazy. "What on earth did he do?"

Yan Luo put down her hand and said, "Look at me, can't you figure it out?"

Xiaolan's eyes flickered.

"My sister and I were forced to merge because he wanted to eat us. I didn't know why he attacked the Seven-Colored Clan at first. But since he was in a high position, he wanted to eat other races to gain power. There were so many races to choose from.

Why me and my sister? It wasn't until you said he was possessed by a demon that I realized we could suppress the demonic energy.

He was the only one left of the Molan clan in the center of the Liguang Forest! The Molan clan hadn't produced any shapeshifting beasts in so many years, the Demon King would probably become suspicious.

Xiaolan was stunned and said, "He is really crazy."

Jue Ran even spared no one from his own clan.
