89: ask

Eternal Night: [I'm not sure. If I had to choose, I'd pick the Shadow Demon Clan.]

After all, Li Ye had killed some members of the Blood Ghost Clan before, so the Shadow Demon Clan might be a better choice.

Solomon: [Alright, then I'll also choose the Shadow Demon Clan. It's just, how do we players join since we don't speak the same language as the forces in the Wasteland?]

Li Ye was stunned for a moment. It seemed she was right. Only some original resident like himself knew the demon language.

Ning Jiuxiao knew the demon language; Li Ye was aware of this because Ning Jiuxiao had conversed with demons back in the Five Ghost World.

After some thought, Li Ye decided not to tell Luo Yao that he knew the demon language.

To be honest, Luo Yao and he were merely acquaintances, and she only sought him out for conversation sometimes because of his strength.

Eternal Night: [I don't know about that, but if we don't join, we might be targeted by that Blood Shadow Demon.]

The Blood Shadow Demon is a Nascent Soul expert, as could be inferred from the difficulty of this third-tier Secret Realm.

Moreover, Li Ye always felt something was off.

This Blood Shadow Demon might have fallen out with the Blood Ghost Clan and the Shadow Demon Clan.

Logically, the situation should have unfolded like this:

The Blood Shadow Demon, a combination of the Blood Ghost Clan and the Shadow Demon Clan, had become the king of both clans.

When he sent his sons to the Barren Ancient Star, it happened to be Blood Moon Day. His sons attacked the players and were killed by them.

Subsequently, the Blood Shadow Demon sought revenge. He himself couldn't leave the Blood Shadow Realm, so he lured the players who offended him inside.

This side quest requires us players to join either the Blood Ghost Clan or the Shadow Demon Clan.

Isn't this contradictory?

Unless, this Blood Shadow Demon also intends to act against these two clans.

Of course, there's also a possibility that the world will of the Barren Ancient Star is not well-intentioned.

Thinking of this, Li Ye prepared to scout the surroundings to find the location of the Shadow Demon Clan.

However, most of this world was a desolate plain.

Fortunately, there were still 24 hours left, so they could search slowly.

Finally, in the process of searching for clues, Li Ye saw a swaying Blood Ghost.

She was curvaceous, sweet-looking, and had red skin, appearing very sexy.

Since these demons do not wear clothes, those who understand, understand.

Li Ye and his companions directly stopped her.

"Humans, how did you appear here? Eh? Who are you? How come I've never seen you in the clan, big sister!"

The Blood Ghost curiously scrutinized Li Ye and Yan Xiaoji beside him.

Of course, all of this was due to Li Ye's strength. If Li Ye had been weak, this Blood Ghost would have rushed over and torn Li Ye's group to shreds long ago.

"Blood Ghost, do you know how to get to the Shadow Demon Clan's territory?"

Li Ye asked as gently as possible.

"The Shadow Demon Clan? The Shadow Demon Clan is our Blood Ghost Clan's enemy! How could I possibly tell you!"

The Blood Ghost puffed out her cheeks, speaking in a sulky manner.

"We are here to seek revenge on the Shadow Demon Clan, so we are on your Blood Ghost Clan's side. Just tell us where it is, little sister."

Yan Xiaoji bent down and patted the Blood Ghost's head.

"Hmph, since Big Sister Lei said so, then I'll tell you."

Subsequently, this adorable Blood Ghost told Li Ye the general direction of the Shadow Demon Clan.

After bidding farewell to the Blood Ghost, Li Ye led his companions in that direction.

Li Ye was confident that he would definitely be the first player to complete this side quest.

Most other players and demons had a language barrier.

Along the way, Li Qinghuan curiously asked Li Ye:

"Master, aren't the demons here your enemies? Why didn't you kill that Blood Ghost child just now?"

"There's no need. At this stage, demons are no longer useful to us."

Not long after, the group arrived at a vast, dark, boundless land. Undoubtedly, this should be where the Shadow Demon Clan resided and multiplied.

"Humans? How do humans appear here?"

Accompanying a low, hoarse voice, a huge figure, over two meters tall, completely dark as ink, with four sharp horns on its head (two in front of the forehead, two in back), suddenly appeared before everyone!

At the same time, this Shadow Demon's pair of eyes were filled with dense darkness, even blacker than its own shadow, allowing them to be vaguely discerned.

"Is this the Shadow Demon Clan? My name is Li Ye, a Human Race, but I wish to join the Shadow Demon Clan."

Li Ye said gently.

"Hehe, weak humans, do you think you are worthy of joining our powerful Shadow Demon Clan?"
