Chapter 2294: Heart Devouring Lock, Unsealed

For demons, the demon body is an ancient and terrifying curse.

There has always been such a legend in the Divine Demon Island Sea Domain, that they became demons because of the curse, and the current demons do not realize that it is due to their ancestors’ excessive demonization.

The demons are even more unaware of the matter of the Black Demons and the first generation Demon Vein Master.

Time has long passed, and they are too humble.

But now, even though the Black Scale Demon has shed part of its demon body, the two words ’demon extermination’ still leave many demons in disbelief, but the War Tiger wants them to believe...

He spoke openly and in terms that demons could accept and understand better... breaking the curse.

At this moment, War Tiger also understands why Sikong Jing wants to publicly reveal the Demon Battle Heavenly Technique at this time.

Precisely because... of the existence of the Yu Vein.

Previously, when the Yu Vein had not appeared, Sikong Jing told him to endure...

But now with the emergence and situation of the Yu Vein, as long as the demons and the Yu Vein join forces, they can break the fate of being slaves and servants.

Thinking of this, War Tiger spoke again, "Demons, the Black Scale young brother is our savior."

On the other side, Chai Jiu suddenly thought of something and his expression changed subtly.

He looked at War Tiger first and yelled thunderously, "Tiger Demon, how dare you speak randomly, die for me from the Heart Devouring curse."

As the Great Gate Master, Chai Jiu, he naturally considered the terrifying consequences first, as the Black Scale Demon intends to awaken demons to resist the Cang Lineage with the demon extermination attribute of the Demon Battle Heavenly Technique.

Absolutely, he cannot let this succeed.

And now, for this Tiger Demon to react like this, helping the Black Scale Demon to incite demons, he certainly must die.

Right now, regardless of the demon extermination aspect, first deter the demon soldiers.

By directly killing this Tiger Demon, he can intimidate the demon soldiers, and then deal with the Black Scale Demon.

With Chai Jiu’s words... Ah!

War Tiger immediately clutched his chest and screamed in agony, as all Emperor Realm demons have the Heart Devouring Lock embedded within them, so Chai Jiu naturally could control whether they live or die.

Watching the screaming War Tiger...

Chai Jiu coldly shouted again, "There’s no such thing as demon extermination."

"Even if there is, our Cangyu Sect will not allow it. Demons will always be the most humble ants."

"All you can do is obey, or face death."

The current chaotic situation caused by the sudden uprising of the Black Scale Demon...

But for Chai Jiu, as long as he holds one point, which is to ensure a double assault against Ying Sanmeng and other Yu Vein members.

Demons being slaves for thousands of years isn’t something that easily turns into passion.

Chai Jiu believes that even if he speaks so bluntly, as soon as War Tiger dies, most demons still won’t dare to rebel.

True enough, with Chai Jiu’s words and War Tiger’s screams, the once slightly stirred demons returned to confusion and fear, still seeing the Great Gate Master as insurmountable.

As for those powerful demons...

Their eyes dimmed, with the Heart Devouring Lock’s presence, what can they do?

At the same time, just having been shocked half to death by Sikong Jing, Chai Ren observed the situation with endless satisfaction, "Black Scale Demon, dreaming of making demons resist our Cang Lineage, you’re too inexperienced."

In response, Sikong Jing seemed indifferent and chuckled softly, "Is that so?"

Two questioning words lightly fell...

A bizarre scene followed, War Tiger’s screams abruptly stopped, and he suddenly released his hand from his chest and asked in a daze, "The Heart Devouring Lock, it’s unlocked? I-I didn’t die."

These words plunged the whole scene back into silence.

Chai Jiu froze on the spot, Chai Ren’s smug smile solidified, the confused demons grew more bewildered, while the Emperor Realm demons stood stunned, staring at War Tiger, full of disbelief.

The terrifying Heart Devouring Lock, how could it suddenly fail?

Among the Yu Vein, Teng Yue’s whole body shook wildly, clenching his fists in excitement... the Black Scale Brothers told him that the power of the first generation Demon Vein Master could unlock the Heart Devouring Lock.

And now it’s really unlocked, yet it’s unknown precisely when.

Two breaths later, Chai Jiu reacted, growling low, "Impossible, my Heart Devouring Lock cannot be unlocked."

As he spoke, he tried again to activate War Tiger’s Heart Devouring Lock.

Yet he already couldn’t find any presence of the Heart Devouring Lock, Chai Jiu was in disbelief and then frantically tried to activate the other Emperor Realm demons’ Heart Devouring Locks... directly detonating them!

Suddenly... Ahhhhhhhh!

All Emperor Realm demons screamed in agony as War Tiger had, proving the Heart Devouring Lock was still intact in the earlier demons.

But after merely a few breaths, they all halted their screams.

The scene froze as many powerful demons shouted in either confusion or joy, "The Heart Devouring Lock, it really has been unlocked."

Despite the reality, the demons seemed as if they were in a dream.

And the current situation left Chai Jiu utterly wide-eyed, his teeth quivering madly, "Impossible, impossible..."

After yelling frantically a few moments, he suddenly turned his gaze towards Sikong Jing, madly demanding, "Black Scale Demon, did you unlock my Heart Devouring Lock? How did you do it, when did you do it?"

The reality is that the Heart Devouring Lock was truly undone, forcing Chai Jiu to accept it.

Chai Jiu now clearly understands that it must be the Black Scale Demon’s doing; the latter is so calm.

Yet he couldn’t grasp how the Black Scale Demon accomplished it?

The whole scene, whether members of the Cang Lineage or Yu Vein, all looked towards Sikong Jing, and the demons did the same.

They too wanted to know the answer...

And Sikong Jing provided a straight response, "Of course, the Heart Devouring Lock was unlocked inside the prison, but to prevent the Great Gate Master from becoming suspicious, the lock was only half undone initially..."

If the Heart Devouring Lock was fully unlocked early on, Chai Jiu would immediately sense it.

Chai Jiu cannot discover the problem too soon, or the hostage exchange won’t succeed.

So Sikong Jing only had the Demon Puppet half-unlock the Heart Devouring Lock initially, which is why War Tiger and others screamed momentarily.

"Impossible, even if you half-unlocked it, Chai Gong would have notified me immediately."

"But you didn’t take any special action."

Chai Jiu crazily countered, where’s the possibility of unlocking the Heart Devouring Lock silently?

At the time, as Ying Sanmeng’s hostage, the Black Scale Demon couldn’t make any moves.

Yet Sikong Jing still leisurely said, "When I received the Demon Battle Heavenly Technique’s inheritance, the first generation Demon Vein Master assured me that once I reached the Emperor Martial Stage, I could ask for a condition."

"And the condition was exactly to unlock the Emperor Demons’ Heart Devouring Locks; do you think Chai Gong could have discovered it while in prison?"

From the little canyon with the Yu Vein inheritance to outside the prison, they traveled a significant distance...

During that time, the Demon Puppet unlocking the Heart Devouring Lock silently was incredibly easy.

Chai Gong and other death soldiers certainly lacked the strength to detect it.
