Chapter 1995: Chapter 1999: Qin Tian’s Mother
Raised ghost servants?
Qin Tian immediately looked sideways at Jin Lin, thinking, "A demon from the Demon Clan can actually raise such creatures? Twins, with thoughts, capable of speech..."
Though they were on the way to the Demon Clan, Qin Tian became even more curious about them.
Jin Lin led Qin Tian across the Demon God River, heading straight to the eastern region of the Demon Clan.
The two traveled for a day, eventually reaching a city named "Demon Spirit City."
The city wasn’t large, but it appeared very ancient.
Standing outside the city, Qin Tian could see the peaks stretching endlessly, enveloped in mist. He even saw some mountain ranges seemingly suspended in the air, looking from afar like a mystical wonderland.
Jin Lin led Qin Tian into Demon Spirit City, and Qin Tian noticed a detail: the soldiers guarding the city, upon seeing Jin Lin, all bowed and saluted, indicating that Jin Lin held a significant position in Demon Spirit City.
A large "Jin Manor" in the city center belonged to Jin Lin, and this manor was extremely imposing, resembling the City Lord Mansion of Demon Spirit City, comparable even to a palace.
"Are you the City Lord of Demon Spirit City?" Qin Tian asked.
"I’m not. My father is."
Jin Lin smiled subtly at Qin Tian, leading him into the manor.
Although Jin Lin was quite friendly to Qin Tian along the way, Qin Tian remained vigilant upon entering the Jin Manor.
"Father, I’ve brought Qin Tian back."
After entering the manor, Jin Lin led him into a quiet courtyard. There, under a tree, sat a middle-aged man with crossed legs, meditating.
This elderly man, with a full head of white hair, was seated under a tree and seemed to be cultivating.
Behind him, the tree had complete branches but no leaves, appearing extremely eerie.
Yet, it was evident that this tree was a strange one, with an uncanny aura emanating from it that Qin Tian could sense even from over ten meters away.
The white-haired elder was Jin Zhongyun, the City Lord of Demon Spirit City. He opened his eyes, gazed at Jin Lin, and curiously asked, "You’ve brought Qin Tian back? What do you mean? Have you killed him?"
Jin Lin shook his head, "No, I didn’t kill him."
"But didn’t you say you were going to kill him?" Jin Zhongyun asked curiously.
"I said that if he dared to impersonate the son of Long Jun, I would personally kill him. But upon my first glance at him, after careful observation, I found that his aura was indeed different from ordinary humans, so I dared not conclude if he was exploiting the name of Long Jun for rebellion."
Jin Lin continued, "Yet, this Qin Tian is indeed bold. He actually agreed to follow me to the Demon Clan. Haha, I quite like this person. Father, you should take a look to determine if his bloodline belongs to the Dragon Flame Clan of Long Jun."
Jin Zhongyun stood up slowly and said, "According to the information I received back then, Long Jun’s son indeed vanished without a trace. Even the Ice Emperor searched for over a decade without success. Now that Long Jun’s son has suddenly emerged, I’m quite surprised. Go ahead and bring him in."
Jin Lin brought Qin Tian to Jin Zhongyun’s study, "This is my father, the City Lord of Demon Spirit City."
"I’m Jin Zhongyun. Hello, King Qin."
Jin Zhongyun greeted Qin Tian, and as he spoke, his eyes seemed to pierce through, staring intently at Qin Tian, as if trying to unveil Qin Tian’s past lives.
"Greetings, City Lord Jin," Qin Tian looked at Jin Lin, "I’m curious about why you brought me here. Now that I’m here, you won’t backtrack on your previous promise, will you?"
"Rest assured, those thirty thousand people are my captives. If I wish to release them, no one can stop me, and I will keep my word." Jin Lin invited Qin Tian to sit down.
However, Jin Zhongyun did not sit. He continued to gaze at Qin Tian for a minute or two before a smile crept onto his face.
Jin Lin, noticing this, was surprised, "Father, what was the result? Is it real or false?"
"It seems to be real... Haha, it’s actually real!"
As Jin Zhongyun spoke, he approached Qin Tian, observed him closely, and cheerfully said, "King Qin, you really are from the Dragon Flame Clan?"
Qin Tian smiled faintly, "Authentic beyond doubt."
"Are you really a descendant of Long Jun?"
"Of course."
"Do you have any proof?"
"The bloodline and aura are my proof."
At this moment, Qin Tian also stood up, watching Jin Zhongyun. He couldn’t yet determine what the Jin family intended by verifying his identity.
However, from the joy on Jin Zhongyun and Jin Lin’s faces, Qin Tian figured it wasn’t something harmful. There wasn’t any murderous atmosphere in the room.
He rose and slowly channeled his aura from the Dan Tian Qi Sea.
"Haha, now I can confirm it. You are a descendant of Long Jun! Truly Long Jun’s only son!"
Jin Zhongyun spoke, with evident excitement on his face, "Since you are Long Jun’s only son, that means you’re also one of our demon descendants! Haha... wonderful, wonderful..."
"A descendant of the demons?"
Upon hearing Jin Zhongyun say this, Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, then directly asked, "City Lord Jin, you said I am a descendant of demons, what does this mean?"
Previously, several people had mentioned that he had the aura of the Demon Clan, and he seemed to be able to sense it too.
Moreover, during the last meeting of the Demon Clan Elders’ Council, Thunder Demon Venerable and a few others vaguely mentioned Qin Tian’s mother, but when Qin Tian inquired further, those old fellows were reluctant to elaborate.
Now, a city lord of the Demon Clan also knew he was a descendant of demons!
"You don’t know?"
Upon hearing Qin Tian’s question, Jin Zhongyun was somewhat curious, "Do you not know who your mother is?"
Again, it was about his mother...
Mentioning his mother always led to changed expressions...
Qin Tian noticed that both Jin Zhongyun and Jin Lin showed distinct expressions when they spoke of his mother.
Qin Tian said, "I came from Earth and truly don’t know about my mother. I’ve asked many seniors before, but they refused to tell me. So... City Lord Jin, I ask that you please tell me."
Qin Tian’s gaze shifted towards Jin Zhongyun and Jin Lin shared a look.
Jin Zhongyun hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Very well, you should indeed know about your mother. After all, you are one of us in the Demon Clan. I will tell you then."
"Your mother was a formidable figure from the Immortal Domain, bearing the rare ’Demon God’s Blood’ from the Spiritual Domain, a descendant of our Demon Clan imperial bloodline and a powerful lineage from the Immortal Domain, known as ’Daughter of Demon God’ Nangong Wushuang."
"Back then, she fell into our Demon Clan while injured and formed an unbreakable bond with us. Later, when Long Jun, at the height of his power, led his army to attack the Demon Clan, our clan was devastated, with the Demon God River entirely occupied by Long Jun’s forces. It was your mother who stepped forward and repelled Long Jun... She was so powerful, no, they both were too strong..."
