The Return Of The Demomic Clan
Chi Yu was visibly upset about having to abandon years of cultivation to descend into the world of humans.
What was good there? Absolutely nothing!
However, while thinking about thousands of possibilities to return to the heavens, a strange presence caught his attention as soon as it completely materialized in that world. Chi Yu had not felt the feeling of death and fear for years, only when the kingdoms were still plagued by demons. However, some were sealed and the ten elders annihilated those who went to war.
Where did that presence come from?
- Ch'eng Huang, stay tuned. There is something strange about this world. - Chi Yu observed the place around and noticed nothing abnormal of what he remembered. The vegetation of the mortal world was greener and stood out more gracefully with the blue sky, the flowers were different and everything seemed too calm. However, that sense of dread was a hallmark of demons.
- What could be abnormal? The mortal world is one of the most peaceful...
Chi Yu rolled his eyes when he realized that Ch'eng Huang did not have the same sensitivity as him. Perhaps because he spent so many millennia in the skies just purifying his magic, Chi Yu could identify any presence, however weak it may be, it may give you chills.
- Forget! - Chi Yu waved his hands in the air so that Ch'eng Huang would not mind his words. - According to the fate I wrote, the Princess Phantom must be in the whorehouse and blind...
- What did you say? Is Mei Yang blind? How ... With...
- Calm down Ch'eng Huang! Is the ghost princess not here to pass the seven trials? It is a momentary state, as soon as she returns to her primordial form her eyes will recover.
- I need to find Mei Yang, she must be alone and helpless, blind and in a brothel. If anyone dares to touch her body ... I ... I...
Ch'eng Huang punched the air in anger. Mei Yang was like his dearest little sister and if anyone dared touch him, she could lose her mind.
- The last time I left the mortal world I sealed a talisman in Yang'Er, according to the location it is to the east. Let us go!
Before leaving the valley surrounded by mountains, Chi Yu felt the presence again! This time it was impossible to make a mistake. In fact, it was a demon. However, where did that being escape? Demons were destroyed because there would be a prisoner in the mortal world?
Chi Yu closed his eyes and concentrated on the energy that arose in that world. Nature seemed to emanate calm, but the air carried the smell of death.
A subtle movement like a breeze passed over the water, making a small trail of light waves almost imperceptible across the lake. Chi Yu opened his eyes and saw nothing, but it was clear that the presence was there.
- Ch'eng Huang there is a demon in that place! - Chi Yu spoke softly and hurriedly, but Ch'eng Huang laughed at his friend.
A demon? Chi Yu must be crazy! The years he spent in seclusion in the celestial palace did not do his head any good.
- Chi Yu you should leave the house more. How could there be a demon in this place? Do not notice that everything is at peace...
Finally, Chi Yu felt exactly where the demon was coming from. The sinister presence walked from the waters to the shore. Chi Yu could not see the appearance, but the rough movements looked sharp to him.
- Bàoqiàn - Chi Yu invoked his sword that flew beyond the skies and stopped in front of him waiting for his command. Chi Yu made a move to order his sword to move forward and BàoQiàn advanced, as fast through the air as an opening and closing of the eyes to the riverbank without giving time for the presence that was there to defend itself. The sword stuck in the chest of the creature that soon materialized in front of them.
- Ch'eng Huang watch out, there is another one right behind. - Chi Yu shouted feeling another presence approaching the battle as the black creature with the red eyes that had two heads and two tails and writhed on the bank of the river. A demonic beast guarded the gates of the underworld when the demon god still roamed the earth. Those creatures were supposed to be dead or sealed, but they were in the mortal world in some supernatural way.
- Chi Yu, where did these demons come from? - Ch'eng Huang was scared, he has not been in a direct clash for ages and felt out of shape. Nevertheless, the beast that roared with the sword in its chest finally stopped, but soon another one appeared between them. This one was much bigger and more difficult to deal with and apparently, she was probably the mother of the little beast that was dead in Rio. His red eyes flashed and the claws pointed between his paws. It looked like a tiger, but exorbitantly bigger in size and with a red horn on each head.
Chi Yu summoned BàiQiàn and watched as the sword came out of the creature's chest and flew into his hands. The larger beast soon knew who the killer was and advanced fiercely ready to kill. The sharp claws went towards Chi Yu's heart, but he blocked the attack with the sword that stuck between the beast's legs making the creature scream. For a few seconds Chi Yu thought he was defeated, but the two-headed creature was on its feet and advancing faster than before leaping into the air like a rabid beast. The beast spit out a fireball. It had been a long time since Chi Yu had seen hellfire and he was aware that if those black flames hit his body, he would die instantly.
BàiQiàn flew from the hands of the high god and stopped in the air separating his master from the flames. Chi Yu controlled his Chi and created a barrier where the flames would not reach him, but his sword might not last long due to the beast's high spiritual power.
- Ch'eng Huang, do not stand like a vegetable and do something! - Chi Yu shouted for his companion who was standing like a frightened statue, still not believing what he was seeing.
They were demons! Real demons!
Ch'eng Huang came out of his static state and opened his fan to attack. The demonic beast was spitting the infernal fire at Chi Yu and BàiQiàn would not hold long. But if Chi Yu who had been cultivating spiritual power for so many millennia was having a hard time facing a demonic beast, would he be able to do it?
- What do I do? - Ch'eng Huang shouted desperately.
- I cannot believe you are asking me what to do in this situation! - Chi Yu raged angrily forming a frown of concern on his face. The flames seemed to get stronger and stronger, so he concentrated as much spiritual power as he could and a red flame came out of his body forming between his hands. It had been years since Chi Yu had used his heavenly fire, and he suddenly felt excited about the possibility of being able to use his power that he had cultivated for millennia.
- BàiQiàn, back off! - Chi Yu ordered the sword that soon broke the barrier causing the black flame of the beast to advance, but Chi Yu launched his fire causing it to shock with great impact making him retreat three steps. However, Chi Yu's plan was infallible and he knew he would defeat this creature.
The demonic beast was focused on the celestial fire that fought its black flame and would not focus its attention on the flying sword and towards it.
Chi Yu sucked in the air and flew past the black flames over the creature's back so that the heavenly fire could cover the beast completely. Before the creature's tail could hit its body, BàiQiàn flew to the beast's chest with impeccable precision causing every black flame in the place to dissipate like smoke. Chi Yu recovered his heavenly fire and the place that until half a second ago was a battlefield was now at peace.
The faint moan of the beast with BàiQiàn embedded in its chest comes out softly through the valley. Chi Yu walked over to the monstrous creature and smiled victoriously. The demon's red eyes were fading and his breathing finally stopped until his body gradually became like dust and vanished into the air.
Chi Yu brushed the fine dust off his white robes and saw his sword fly away back to heaven.
Everything had gone well! However, the figure of Ch'eng Huang standing with the fan spread out like a planted tree was too pathetic! Chi Yu felt like hitting that loose god, but he tensed.
- The next time I say there is a demon pay attention and keep an eye out! I cannot save you all the time.
Ch'eng Huang put the fan away and faced the place where the beast had been a few minutes ago.
- How is it possible? Devils? They should be...
- Arrested? Yes, they should! However, something happened for these creatures to be here today, and I am sure no one knows that these demons have escaped. - Chi Yu took advantage of the moment of calm and wrote brief words to Quon Xu, and then a red bird came towards him and took the message.
- Will you warn the celestial emperor about the beasts?
- Are you crazy? The emperor will make us go to the sealed earthly abyss and spend the rest of our eternities there! I want to enter my nirvana and isolate myself in Kunlun in a beautiful and spiritualized place, not in an endless and dark cave! - Chi Yu sighed and thought about the problems he would face from now on. Perhaps facing some demons would help in his martial art and remove the dust that was his body stopped for millennia of peace.
- What are we going to do now? - Ch'eng Huang realized that Chi Yu would be needed in that world and needed your support.
- You fix the problem and I have to tell you what to do? What have we come to do to the mortal world? Find the ghost princess! Let us go!
Ch'eng Huang opened another portal with his fan and as soon as they entered, another vision formed before them. A conserved wooden mansion with a red roof. Apparently beautiful, covered with trees and flowers forming a refreshing and picturesque setting.
Then Ch'eng Huang held his breath when he saw a small, very thin figure appear on the right side of the mansion holding a few buckets of food scraps. The band on his eyes covered part of his face making it impossible to recognize, but it was Mei Yang.
She was blind!
