Chapter 2300: Chapter 2300: Night Moon Immortal Emperor

Jing Yan stared at the Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord sitting opposite him.

Just a moment ago, she said everyone knows the Night Moon Immortal Emperor is female, and then the Demon Lord revealed her true appearance in front of him. This Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord is indeed a woman.

Jing Yan hadn’t been in the Nightmare City region for too long and had spent all his time in Bai City while at Iron Bay. However, he heard quite a few pieces of information about the Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord. Almost all of that information depicted the Demon Lord as a male cultivator.

So, how could Jing Yan not be surprised when he saw this scene?

Wait a minute...

If the Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord is really the Night Moon Immortal Emperor, doesn’t that mean the Emperor Weapon Moon God Bell originally belonged to this Demon Lord?

Jing Yan widened his eyes.

As Jing Yan fixated on the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord also looked at Jing Yan, and even seemed to have a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Surprised by my identity?" the Demon Lord said softly.

In the Demon Lord’s eyes, Jing Yan seemed to see deep melancholy.

"Hold on!" Jing Yan suddenly spoke quickly, "You say... you are the Night Moon Immortal Emperor?"

The Demon Lord nodded.

"The Night Moon Immortal Emperor is an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse, but you, the Demon Lord... although very powerful, don’t seem to have reached the Immortal Emperor Realm yet?" Jing Yan seemed to have grasped something.

The Demon Lord smiled.

"Once, I indeed reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, but then some unfortunate things happened, so now I only have the cultivation of the Immortal Venerable Realm," the Demon Lord said slowly, looking at the clouds with a wistful expression.

In fact, the Demon Lord wore a mask earlier, and Jing Yan couldn’t glean much from the aura emanating from her. But when Jing Yan saw the Demon Lord’s face, he pretty much deduced that this Wanmo Mountain Demon Lord might be injured, and the injury is very serious and difficult to heal. Yet, the Demon Lord is extremely powerful and concealed the injury well.

So it seems this Demon Lord might indeed be the Night Moon Immortal Emperor.

Jing Yan frowned, unsure what attitude to adopt toward this Demon Lord.

Wanmo Mountain was established single-handedly by this Demon Lord. Since its founding, countless cities have been slaughtered, and countless innocent people have died at the hands of Wanmo Mountain demons. In essence, these crimes should be attributed to this Demon Lord.

But this Demon Lord also has another identity; she might be the Night Moon Immortal Emperor. Initially, even if she was the Night Moon Immortal Emperor, Jing Yan wouldn’t need to care too much, as he didn’t know this Night Moon Immortal Emperor, but the mark on the inside of this woman’s sleeve is closely related to the Thunder Emperor.

Jing Yan remained silent, wanting to ask about the relationship between the Demon Lord and the Thunder Emperor but had many concerns.

"You want to know my relationship with the Thunder Emperor, right?" the Demon Lord said proactively.

"I’m also curious, how did you know I know the Thunder Emperor?" the Demon Lord continued.

Jing Yan extended his hand and pointed at the Demon Lord’s sleeve.

On the inside of the Demon Lord’s sleeve, there was a red crescent mark. Jing Yan had seen this exact red crescent mark in the Purple Thunder Forbidden Zone of the Chaos World.

The Demon Lord looked down in surprise.

"When I underwent the Thunder Emperor’s trial in the Chaos World, I saw this crescent mark in the Divine Soul purification space," Jing Yan said.

"I see..." The Demon Lord took a breath and then nodded.

"The Thunder Emperor is my brother!" the Demon Lord finally said.

The Thunder Emperor and the Night Moon Immortal Emperor are actually siblings.

To Jing Yan, the Thunder Emperor was essentially his master, as he received the complete legacy of the Thunder Origin from him. And since the Night Moon Immortal Emperor is the Thunder Emperor’s sister, she is like... his martial aunt.

This issue seems tricky to handle.

Jing Yan had no sympathy for demons who killed the innocent. If encountered, Jing Yan would kill them without hesitation. But now, it’s difficult. Not to mention whether he can defeat the injured Night Moon Immortal Emperor, even if he can, can he kill his martial aunt without a burden?

"Jing Yan, do you intend to kill me?" the Night Moon Immortal Emperor looked at Jing Yan, a faint smile on her face.

"I dare not." Jing Yan shook his head.

"I just... I’m puzzled, I don’t understand why you, the Night Moon Immortal Emperor, would establish such an evil force as Wanmo Mountain." Jing Yan asked with a hint of accusation.

"Hehe..." the Night Moon Immortal Emperor let out a light laugh.

"Jing Yan, you haven’t been in the Nightmare City region for long, but haven’t you noticed? The situation in the Nightmare City region is far more complex than in the Mixed Element Immortal Domain. In the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain, there is a Heavenly Lord in control. Although conflict and struggle are unavoidable, it’s relatively stable to a certain degree, right?" the Night Moon Immortal Emperor said slowly.

What the Night Moon Immortal Emperor said is true. As far as Jing Yan knows, among the Nine Days of the Immortal Domain, only Kunling Heaven is quite chaotic, with multiple Heavenly Lords. The other eight Immortal Domains are relatively stable, much like Faro Heaven.

Jing Yan nodded, "At least this Iron Bay is indeed quite chaotic."

"Exactly! The Nightmare City region is much more chaotic than the Mixed Element Immortal Domain. Take Iron Bay, for instance. The number of demons here is much greater, perhaps several times higher than in the Mixed Element Immortal Domain. And here, no one can intimidate the demons. The strongest cultivators in Iron Bay, like Bu Yun and others, rarely intervene in the demons’ affairs. They merely watch unless their own interests are involved,"

"I established Wanmo Mountain to gather the majority of the demons, especially the stronger ones. Most of them are in Wanmo Mountain. In this way, I can control them more easily," the Night Moon Immortal Emperor said slowly.

By now, Jing Yan understood.

The number of demons in the Nightmare City region was too high. Just in Iron Bay, the number of demons was staggering. Without anyone to restrain them, the demons would only commit more evil deeds. By establishing Wanmo Mountain and recruiting demons, the Night Moon Immortal Emperor could not entirely prevent the demons from killing, but she could try to reduce their evil deeds.

Over the long years, the demons of Wanmo Mountain have committed many massacres, but compared to before the existence of Wanmo Mountain, these incidents have actually decreased. Moreover, the Night Moon Immortal Emperor set rules that if a city can resist Wanmo Mountain’s assault, the city will never be attacked a second time, nor face any retaliation.

"I understand now, this is indeed a better method," Jing Yan nodded.

At this point, Jing Yan was quite sure that the person in front of him was undoubtedly the Night Moon Immortal Emperor.
