Chapter 876: Chapter 818: The Truth Revealed (Alliance Leader +3)

A dream, a lifetime.

Jiang Yuebai awoke from her dream, staring blankly at her blurred reflection on the icy ground.

Lu Nanzhi did not disturb her and got up to the cave entrance to check for any signs of snow monsters outside.

She showed her everything she knew about Little Bai through the dream.

However, since Little Bai had amnesia, she didn’t know if Shen Mingjing had any other plans on her, plus Little Bai had told her before to be extremely cautious with Shen Mingjing.

So she only showed Little Bai her own experiences, glossing over everything related to others, including some important secrets that Little Bai had only told her, like matters about Bai Jiuyou, which Lu Nanzhi chose to hide.

After all, it was meant for Little Bai to hear, not to remember herself.

If Shen Mingjing outsmarted her, and Little Bai couldn’t trust her, still seeing ’Jiang Yuebai’ as someone else, or even went to tell Shen Mingjing everything, then speaking too much would only harm Little Bai.

What Lu Nanzhi worried about was exactly what Jiang Yuebai was contemplating and struggling with at that moment.

On one side, there were the memories she had of her beloved elder brother and her proud identity as a Mirage Demon.

On the other, there were the things others told her about her life with the Human Clan.

A normal-minded demon would certainly not believe the deceitful Human Clan, but she wasn’t a normal-minded demon; she couldn’t ignore the various doubts about herself.

Ironically, the things she saw in her dream, especially the cultivation techniques she mastered, she could use them all after Lu Nanzhi’s explanations.

Stepping outside her own logic and viewing things as an observer, what Lu Nanzhi said carried more credibility.

Because all the details matched, whereas her brother’s side had significant gaps due to her broken mind, many things couldn’t be explained.

Like her Demon Heart, her relationship with her brother, and how she, as a Mirage Demon, couldn’t use the Dream Killing Technique yet could transform at will!

But she couldn’t just kill her brother over such things now; her time in the Demon Realm was great, free and unrestrained, more like a demon than a human, and she wanted to keep being a demon, ignoring the Human Clan’s chaotic rules.

Clearly hating someone yet having to consider identity and impact, suppressing hatred and even faking civility—why not just eat them like the Demon Clan when dissatisfied?

Moreover, Lu Nanzhi said her Demon Heart was her Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, with a Pocket Small World inside, but she couldn’t open it at all, how could she validate it?

Jiang Yuebai took out her Lotus Platform, knocked it on the ground, bit it with her mouth, even squeezed a drop of blood onto it in her human form now, yet the Lotus Platform showed no reaction.

Lu Nanzhi frowned, thinking that if Jiang Yuebai was a bit dumb, she’d certainly believe instantly, yet she was smart, letting no detail slip by her eyes, making her hard to persuade. Even if she did believe, it was only nine-tenths.

"Stop messing with your Lotus Platform," Lu Nanzhi said, walking over, "I think it’s very possible that near death, you made some arrangements with your last strength, after all, you’re very greedy..."

Lu Nanzhi paused.

"You care deeply about your assets and your partners, so you’d surely go to lengths to protect your property from harm."

Lu Nanzhi understood Jiang Yuebai, knowing in such a situation, if Jiang Yuebai’s soul and Nascent Soul sensed Shen Mingjing’s impending capture, to prevent him from opening the Lotus Platform to touch her valuables or browse her logs, she’d grit her teeth and ’live’ through sheer will.

Then figure out how to seal the Lotus Platform, even guarding against herself, fearing that if Shen Mingjing did brainwash her, she’d betray herself by willingly opening the Lotus Platform for him.

Lu Nanzhi couldn’t deny, Jiang Yuebai was unparalleled when protecting wealth and reputation!

So ruthless, she’d even scheme herself!

The amnesiac Jiang Yuebai didn’t yet know, Lu Nanzhi had figured it out!

She really thought like that!

Jiang Yuebai let her head droop, stuffing the Lotus Platform back into her body. If Lu Nanzhi was right, then the large amount of Demonic Qi the Lotus Platform absorbed during this time was certainly gobbled up by the brats inside.

It’s possible, as Lu Nanzhi said, that the Ghost Cultivator Yan Hongyu she kept in the Lotus Platform was currently browsing those logs she couldn’t remember!

In her dream, she could tell at a glance that ghost was far from an upstanding spirit!

If she really sealed the Lotus Platform herself, then it was a real deadlock—how would she ever unlock it? There had to be a password or corresponding method, right?

Jiang Yuebai knocked her head, suddenly inhaling sharply as she felt a sharp pain on the side—did she just sleep on the floor?

No way, before sleeping, wasn’t she leaning on Lu Nanzhi’s shoulder?

Jiang Yuebai suddenly looked up, spotting Youmeng sprawled on Lu Nanzhi’s shoulder, who shrieked and retracted instantly like lightning.

Jiang Yuebai, as a great demon, overlooked the minor demon’s faux pas, standing to ask Lu Nanzhi, "Then what do you plan next, how to face my brother...Shen Mingjing?"

Lu Nanzhi pondered, "Before leaving the Earth Spiritual Realm, the Ice Demon Ancestor left behind a legacy for the Demon Clan, which I’ve now inherited, so Shen Mingjing’s always wanted me to totally Fall into Demon, becoming a true Ice Demon."

"Although he never directly told me his goal, I suspect he thinks the current Demon Realm is gradually declining, with the Demon Lord being incompetent and lacking strategy, and Mahayana Heavenly Demons only retiring behind the scenes, offering no long-term development plan for the Demon Clan."

"He has ambitions and aspirations but, being the weakest Mirage Demon, has no qualification to become Demon Lord, so he needs a puppet, meaning me, to control me for his aim to control the entire Demon Realm."

Jiang Yuebai nodded, simultaneously conjuring two thoughts: "Wow, my brother is impressive!" and "He can sure stir drama."

Her main consciousness was contemplating: Shen Mingjing chose Lu Nanzhi surely because the Ice Demon Ancestor was an unsurpassed ruler throughout Demon history. If Lu Nanzhi could prove she was the Ice Demon Ancestor’s successor, she’d surely gain support from all Demon factions.

At least, the Water Demon without Mahayana Heavenly Demon support would back Lu Nanzhi, as would the Thunder Demon on friendly terms with Shen Mingjing.

He just needed to maneuver a little, persuading other major demon branches, like the Sword Demon oppressed by the Golden Demon, etc.

Then achieving some victories on the battlefield would make the identity of Ice Demon Demon Lord sustainable.

Lu Nanzhi looked at Jiang Yuebai, "I decided to cooperate with him because of you, now seeing you intact, I no longer need to Fall into Demon. Little Bai, let’s escape the Demon Realm together, return to find the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder, they’ll surely help restore your memory."

Jiang Yuebai shook with a shiver, quickly waving her hands backward.

"No, no, no, I’m not leaving. We’ve entered here with great difficulty; it’d be wasteful just to leave, we should at least see what the Heaven-Reaching Demon Treasure left by the Ice Demon Ancestor looks like?"

"I haven’t even tasted Bing Ling, nor have I eaten most of the Demon Realm Ten Great Delicacies, only Chana so far. If I leave now, I’d regret it forever."

Lu Nanzhi looked worriedly towards the cave’s exterior, thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright, we’ve come at great difficulty indeed, leaving like this wouldn’t do. They framed us for colluding with the Demon Clan; fleeing wouldn’t cleanse our reputations, it’s better to fight once, make some merits to prove everything, and clear suspicions from Heavenly Interance Sect."

Lu Nanzhi grabbed the sword at the cave’s entrance with determination, firm and decisive.

"Let’s go, strike the Holy Ancestor Pond!"
