Mechanical God Emperor

108 – Undead Demon

The six curses from the Twilight Dagger could slowly eat at a level-2 Warlock, with the final result being death. Yang Feng’s body tough had a terrifying resistance towards curses as he had bathed in the heart blood of an ancient dragon. Thanks to his tyrannical life force, Yang Feng had finally dispelled the last of the six curses after half an hour.

Yang Feng looked at the ground filled with corpses after recovering; his eyebrows creased slightly before he murmured: “Who was it that had sent assassins to kill me?”

Judy said curiously: “Weren’t the dark elves the ones that sent the assassins? As long as they killed You, then the leaderless mob of Satsuma Marquisdom wouldn’t pose a threat to them and the marquisdom would be a ripe fruit for their plucking.”

Yang Feng responded with a bitter smile: “That’s what I had thought. But her words made me suspicious.”

“Additionally, the issue would gain larger proportions if demons were to join forces with dark elves!” Yang Feng’s gaze fell on the corpse of the tentacle young woman hacked into pieces; he creased his eyebrows tightly before murmuring.

That tentacle young woman was from one of the five great Demon Royal Clans, the Undead Demon Clan. The clansmen from the Undead Demon Clan wouldn’t die even if their heads were to be blown off. Were it not for Yang Feng sensing that there was something fishy with her and hadn’t he acted in advance by blowing her head off, then getting rid of her definitely wouldn’t be so easy.

The Demon Clan came about as the product of taboo experiments from the Second Warlock Dynasty. The five great demon ancestors were the crystallization of the highest skills from the Second Warlock Dynasty.

The five great demon ancestors were respectively the Undead Demon Ancestor, the Beasts Demon Ancestor, the Elder Mo Demon Ancestor, the Titan Demon Ancestor and the Pantheon Demon Ancestor. The five great demon ancestors were the strongest weapons manufactured by the Second Warlock Dynasty. They were manufactured from the flesh, blood, spirit and a portion of the soul from the founder of the Second Warlock Dynasty, the Taboo Emperor; as well as outstanding treasures and precious materials.

The five great demon ancestors immediately rebelled against the Second Warlock Dynasty after the fall of the Taboo Emperor. They created a large numbered demon army and fought for several millennia against the Second Warlock Dynasty. In the end, the Second Warlock Dynasty quelled the rebellion of the five great demon ancestors by paying a terribly painful price. It eventually collapsed after it’s rule was shaken.

Demons were human-eating taboo life forms. Unless they were promoted to the Great Warlock rank; otherwise, low level demons were basically unable to control their appetite and needed to consume human flesh everyday in order to preserve their reason. Additionally, demons that consume humans would receive all of their knowledge and a large part of their strength; therefore, demons were practically the natural predators of humans.

Countless human experts had stifled demons in the World of Warlock. Although the demons were defeated over and over and were stifled for a large number of years by human Warlocks, but they still existed and their operations became only more and more covert.

Withing the demon community, there were five great Demon Royal Clans which respectively originated from the five great demon ancestors. They had the blood-meridians of their demon ancestors and their cultivation speed was as astonishingly fast as that of human Blood-Meridian Warlocks. Furthermore, their evolution potential was practically limitless, to the point that there were even human Warlocks that directly degenerated into demons in order to gain strength.

The tentacle young woman was from one of the five great Demon Royal Clans, the Undead Clan. Yang Feng had a slight headache over killing her, as it was equivalent to being at odds with the Demon Clan.

Altough the tentacle woman wasn’t of any importance towards the Undead Demon Royal Clan, but the experts of the Demon Clan wouldn’t mind getting rid of him once a chance arose.

The severed heads of the assassins as well as the corpse of the tentacle woman were collected and put in a store house in order for the customized memory reading robots to read their memories.

The origins of those assassins were then very quickly read. They came from an assassin organization called Shadow of Death and were hired to kill Yang Feng.

Apart from this, those small-fry assassins didn’t knew anything of importance.

Demons were different from humans, their memories were located within the demon core. Of course, the demon core was very important to the demons as it was the crystallization of their life energy. The demon core was also one of the hard currencies in the World of Warlocks.

Although the head of the tentacle young woman from the Undead Demon Clan was blasted away, but her demon core wasn’t damaged. Therefore, Yang Feng managed to read a large quantity of memories from her demon core.

The tentacle woman from the Undead Demon Clan came from the bordering Samuel Dukedom. Samuel Dukedom was one of the 36 Black Dragon’s Blood-Meridian Warlock clans and was governed by the Samuel Family. This demon young woman was the favorite concubine of a son from the Samuel Duke. Yang Feng learned from the memory of the demon young woman that the son of Samuel Duke was clear of her identity as a demon. Moreover, demons from the Undead Demon Clan were reared by the Samuel Family to serve the family.

Only by consuming human flesh could demons maintain their reason. For the Samuel Family to rear demons was a simple matter, as the demons could consume a lot of criminals every year in their territory. The demons were used as a sharp sword to strike at their enemies.

Undead demons had the blood meridians of their demon ancestor. Even if the concentration of their blood-meridians was thin, yet it was still easy for them to promote to a level-1 Warlock. Additionally, it was very common for demons to kill humans. Samuel Family wouldn’t be suspected of rearing demons even if the demons were to be captured. The demons were equipped with restriction spells and couldn’t leak any information, or they would self-detonate and perish.

Yang Feng’s eyebrows creased slightly as his mind was full of doubts: “What’s going on? There’s no grudges nor enmity between us, so why would Samuel Family send assassins to kill me?”

Yang Feng was currently the Lord of the Satsuma Marquisdom and had the heavy responsibility of obstructing the allied forces of the under world’s races. Even Johan merely pulled all of his forces without hindering Yang Feng too much. Satsuma Marquisdom and Samuel Dukedom neighbored each other. Once Satsuma Marquisdom was breached, then the allied forces of the under world’s races would border with Samuel Dukedom. Any Lord with their mind intact wouldn’t send assassins to kill Yang Feng during such a time.

Yang Feng’s expression was gloomy as he felt that something smelled fishy: “Could it be that the Samuel Family had colluded with the allied forces of the under world’s races? How would they benefit by doing this?”

Eunice arrived beside Yang Feng and said: “Master, there’s a pressing matter.”

Yang Feng had an ominous premonition: “What pressing matter?”

Eunice said with a gloomy expression: “Fish-Tooth City was captured by the allied forces of the dark elves one day ago! They’re currently marching towards Baza City.”

Yang Feng was shocked and asked: “Fish-Tooth City was captured? How could it be so quickly?”

Fish-Tooth City was a large city with a population of 200,000 odd people and a gateway towards Satsuma Marquisdom. Once captured, then Satsuma Marquisdom would lay bare before the allied forces of the dark elves.
