Chapter 1994: Chapter 1998: The Greater and Lesser Demons

"Hehe...where are you going?"

"You can’t leave...you actually managed to kill General Li, quite impressive."

The pair of demons, a man and a woman, sneered while floating in the air, their gaze eerily fixed on Qin Tian, and the purple light emitting from their bodies made Qin Tian’s skin erupt in goosebumps.

Without a doubt, these two were masters of the Demon Clan.

"Get out of my way, genderless freaks!"

Faced with these two demons who looked like effeminate men, Qin Tian couldn’t suppress his anger. He was about to enter West State’s territory, but these two were extremely bothersome!

As he spoke, Qin Tian launched punches to his left and right, True Qi forming rainbows, roaring outward!

"Hehe..."

The two demons let out strange laughter simultaneously, disappearing abruptly in mid-air. Qin Tian’s punches hit nothing but air!

"You cannot harm me."

"You cannot harm me either, hehe..."

After vanishing, the two demons reappeared at Qin Tian’s side, still floating eerily in mid-air!

Qin Tian launched attack after attack, but strangely, the pair seemed ghost-like; regardless of what move Qin Tian attempted, they could evade, disappearing without a trace!

The demons’ mysterious spells were inexhaustible. After Qin Tian saw no gain from his repeated attacks, he decided not to keep fighting. He launched two punches for pretence, and promptly turned to continue his quick forward advance!

As he sprinted away, he found the two demons hadn’t followed, and he sighed in relief.

"Hehe...still want to escape?"

"You won’t get away."

Suddenly, just when Qin Tian relaxed a bit, the two demons appeared silently right in front of him again!

"Damn! Shadowing spirits! What kind of monsters are these two!"

Watching the two demons, Qin Tian’s brows furrowed tightly.

Just at that moment, the two demons laughed, and in front of Qin Tian, they divided into two! Then into four!

In an instant, four demons appeared before Qin Tian!

Two teams of twins!

"What the..."

Qin Tian was dumbfounded, unable to see through what kind of special moves the demons used.

"Hahaha, stop playing around, you little fiends, you’re scaring him!"

Suddenly, a hearty laugh rang out across the sky, then a black smoke rushed from afar, arriving instantly in front of Qin Tian—it was a middle-aged man wearing black armor!

This person had a massive physique and impressive aura. Upon landing, the nearby trees swayed, looking like an exceptionally strong powerhouse.

Qin Tian observed his attire, recognizing him as a senior officer of the Demon Clan, of rank higher by one or two levels than Li Kuang.

Gazing at Qin Tian, he said, "Oh, so you are Qin Tian, the rebel against the Tianyuan Dynasty, self-titled King Qin? Hehe, fascinating, quite bold indeed...a young man daring to defy the Ice Emperor, not bad..."

Qin Tian fixated on him, asking, "Who are you?"

"Me? I am Jin Lin, acting as the deputy commander in this Demon Clan expedition against the Demon Clan and West State. It was I who came up with the idea of luring you here. Today, since you’ve come, why not stay?"

Jin Lin stared at Qin Tian. "Your cultivation is noteworthy, and you seem promising. Come with me to the Demon Clan; there you will have broader prospects. The Ice Emperor doesn’t want you, but we Demon Clan do!"

"Sorry, I don’t want to." Qin Tian replied.

"Hmph, this choice is not yours to make." Jin Lin snorted coldly, saying, "The hundred thousand strong Demon Clan army south of the Demon God River was ambushed by me, killed eighteen thousand, captured thirty thousand. These thirty thousand are being sent to the Demon Clan territory. I initially intended for them to become slaves there. But, since I’ve met you today, great, I’ve changed my mind about killing you. Come with me to the Demon Clan, and I will release all these thirty thousand."

Upon hearing Jin Lin’s words, Qin Tian’s brows furrowed.

First, he couldn’t discern if Jin Lin spoke the truth.

Second, why did Jin Lin alter his initial plan to kill him? Previously, Li Kuang had wanted him dead.

Third, what exactly did Jin Lin want him to do in the Demon Clan? Kill him? Why not do it here? Why insist on going to the Demon Clan?

"What do you want me in the Demon Clan for?" Qin Tian asked directly. "If you want me dead, we can settle it here instead of going all the way to the Demon Clan."

"Kid, I see you have guts. What, afraid to go to the Demon Clan? Honestly, I’ve lost any desire to kill you. If I intended to harm you, I would have already joined forces with my little fiends to eliminate you!" Jin Lin kept scrutinizing Qin Tian with an unusually intense gaze.

Seeing Qin Tian’s slight hesitation, he said, "Just come with me once, and these thirty thousand will be saved. Moreover, you might unexpectedly gain...hmph, you have an extraordinary fate with our Demon Clan. I’ll bring you to the Demon Clan; you’ll have the chance to convince us to withdraw!"

Jin Lin’s words struck a chord with Qin Tian.

He had no interest in any supposed extraordinary fate with the Demon Clan, but the chance to rescue thirty thousand and convince the Demon Clan to retreat fascinated him immensely.

"I’ll go with you."

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Tian spoke directly.

"Excellent! Worthy of being King Qin! I admire your courage!"

Finished speaking, Jin Lin turned and said, "You tell the Great General that I have business back at the Demon Clan and will return in ten days. Remember, don’t mention my meeting with Qin Tian or that Qin Tian went to the Demon Clan!"

"As you command."

The little fiends appeared simultaneously in mid-air, meekly obeying Jin Lin.

The two demons vanished as Jin Lin headed directly towards Qin Tian, saying, "Let’s go, we’ll bypass the battlefield and cross the Demon God River elsewhere."

Originally, Qin Tian was somewhat worried about his safety.

However, observing Jin Lin’s expression while commanding the little fiends consoled him instantly.

Apparently, Jin Lin, as deputy commander, lacked complete trust with their Great General.

This subtly indicated that the Demon Clan wasn’t united internally.

Yet, Qin Tian was unaware of the inner workings and factional dynamics within the Demon Clan.

"Those little fiends, are they human or ghost? I couldn’t harm them at all." En route, Qin Tian asked Jin Lin.

Qin Tian observed Jin Lin, noting his aura wasn’t excessively heavy, and his conversations were rather candid, so internally Qin Tian bore no hostility towards him.

"Haha, naturally they’re specters; standard True Qi can’t possibly harm them."

Jin Lin laughed heartily, side-eyeing Qin Tian, saying, "No need to wonder, the little fiends are merely spectral retainers I keep. They’re highly defensive, fast, and excel at tracking, but their offensive capability is quite limited..."
