Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System

"What's the matter, Zeres?" Another demon, resembling a black dragon, questioned the demon.

"Nothing, Urlax." Zeres himself has the appearance of a werewolf, and he answered by shaking his head before walking away again.

Urlax momentarily raised his eyebrows and turned towards the two men, but he couldn't see anything there, so he immediately ignored it and asked the others. "What do you guys think about this war?"

"Honestly, I don't want to get involved in this war, especially since those humans are too weak and are definitely not our opponents." Another male demon, who looked like an oni with two small horns on top of his head, replied while looking far ahead. "Unfortunately, we cannot disobey Lord Vadin's orders, or he will kill us and massacre our families."

"I agree with you, Thalex." Another demon with two long horns and a giant body, named Tornyx, said that with a heavy sigh. "Since the death of the previous demon lord, the situation in our realm has become completely chaotic, and many of them have fled from there. At first, I thought that Lord Vadin becoming the new demon lord would bring the situation under control, but the arrival of that mysterious man made it even more chaotic, and our lord chose to submit to him. Since then, he consistently makes contentious decisions and maintains an iron hand on power, exacerbating our collective suffering.

The other three nodded in agreement with him, and they also considered escaping from the Netherworld Realm. Unfortunately, they no longer had the chance to do that, especially since their lord had implanted something in their bodies, and he could kill them whenever he played, which would also drag their families to their demise.

Urlax suddenly came up with an idea and conveyed it directly. "Hey, that man said that Tian Huang had a relationship with the dwarf lord; what do you think if we talk to him? I heard that Xian Di is a wise man, and he also knows the late demon lord, so he might be willing to help us if we tell him about our situation."

"Have you gone crazy?"

Zeres then said to Urlax. "Lord Vadin will find out if we do that, and he won't hesitate to slaughter our family outright, so I think our efforts will be in vain since we won't be able to save them."

"You're right about that, Zeres." Thalex also nodded in agreement. "However, I don't have a problem with his idea, and we could probably try it first. Honestly, I'm also worried about the safety of my family, but they will die sooner or later if Lord Vadin continues to act like that. That's why I want to gamble by asking for their help, and I hope they can really help us save them."

"Hahaha." They immediately turned to Tornyx, who suddenly laughed. "I find it funny that demons like us ask for help from a human and a nature race, especially since most of us are always enemies with them. However, I also think the same thing as Tharex because we have no other choice, and our situation is clearly at a dead end now. Therefore, I also think about looking for other opportunities to save them. Whether they are willing to help us or not, and whether we will find a bright future or not, we should try it first."

"What about you, Zeres? Do you dare to take the risk?"

Zeres fell into deep thought and thought everything over, especially since the risk was too great and he was in another realm right now, so he wouldn't be able to do anything if Vadin intended to harm his family. After some time, he released a heavy sigh and nodded in agreement with them. "All right, I agree with you guys, and we will talk to Tian Huang first. What about Lillia? Shall we tell her about our plans?"

"Lillia, huh?" Urlax muttered to himself. "She changed a lot after Helena disappeared years ago, and she is now completely loyal to Lord Vadin. Moreover, she is much stronger than us, and she will definitely kill us if he orders her to do so."

"Speaking of Helena's disappearance, I heard rumors that it happened because of Lord Vadin, but I don't know for sure about the truth of those rumors." Zeres and the others immediately turned to Tornyx. "According to the rumors, he wants to get her black flames to strengthen himself, especially since her flames are special and powerful, and she's the only one in her race who has them. Even Lillia's flames are still inferior compared to hers, so you guys don't need to be surprised by that. Unfortunately, he can only get them by devouring her, especially since her black flames are her innate ability, so she chose to escape from our realm after learning about it."

"If the rumors are true, why did Lillia choose to be loyal to him?"

However, Urlax immediately told Thalex. "I believe Lillia has succumbed to Lord Vadin's manipulation, and that mysterious man could potentially aid him. Back then, after Helena disappeared, she was summoned by him, and she completely changed after meeting him."

After hearing that, they released heavy sighs, and they immediately moved faster to arrive at the Sky Cloud Realm quickly, so they could meet Tian Huang as soon as possible.

"Phew!" Gongsun Yan exhaled a breath of relief after the demons vanished from their view. "I thought they were going to attack us, but I didn't expect that the demon didn't reveal our whereabouts to his friends; otherwise, we would definitely die at their hands, especially since they were stronger than us, and their strength was almost on par with Big Sis Yangyu."

"I agree with you." Xuan Ming answered with a nod, but he felt confused by Zeres' actions in protecting them from his friends. "I've sent a message to Big Sis Yangyu and told her about their identities, and she should have already informed Zhuang Yuan and the others by now. These heretics have made their move, so I think we don't need to monitor them, and we should return to our realm."

Gongsun Yan agreed with that, but Lillia was already standing behind them when they turned around, and they didn't even notice her presence.

Before they could react, Lillia's hands had pierced through their chests, and their still-beating hearts were in her hands, making blood flow from their mouths and chests. "Foolish humans! Do you two think you can trick my eyes? Even though you informed your leaders of our arrival, they still won't be able to defeat us, and we will slaughter them all."

*Swoosh*

Lillia immediately ignited her flames and burned them, then turned to look far away with narrowed eyes. "Are you going to betray us, Zeres? You knew of their presence, but you let them live. For now, I will let you be, but I will kill you with my own hands if you really betray us."

Ao Yangyu, who was discussing with the people from Sunset Valley, immediately frowned after she felt the deaths of the two men. She then took two broken life stones from her storage ring, shocking the others. Before they could ask her, she told them first. "Gongsun Yan and Xuan Ming are dead, and they likely died at the hands of demons."

"What are we going to do now, Big Sis?" A young man asked her with a darkened face, particularly since the two men were their brothers and had lived together since childhood.

Not only he, but the other members also spoke with Ao Yangyu, and most of them urged her to allow them to face those demons.

However, Ao Yangyu rejected their request. "Like you, I also want to take revenge for their deaths, but those demons are much stronger than all of you, so you guys will only be wasting your lives if you attack them."

"Then what are we going to do, Big Sis? Are we just going to keep quiet?" A woman inquired in a tone filled with anger.

"Wait a minute." Ao Yangyu then took out a talisman that she had kept for a long time, and she had never intended to use it because they had never faced such a situation before. However, the situation had changed now, and two of them were dead, so she decided to use it.

After Ao Yangyu activated it, the talisman immediately disappeared into the void, especially since the person who gave it to her was Zhou Yu, and she left it to her to deal with a situation she couldn't handle on her own.

"Did you use that to reach out to our mother, Big Sis?"

Ao Yangyu nodded to that person. "Gongsun Yan and Xuan Ming were the first among us to be found by our mother, so I decided to contact her. However, she went to the mysterious realm with her husband, so I don't know when she will arrive, and we just need to be patient while waiting for her. "After she arrives, we will immediately look for those demons and take revenge on them for the deaths of our two brothers."

Hearing that, they all cheered with joy, especially since they hadn't seen Zhou Yu for a long time, and she also hadn't seen them after she returned to the upper realms.
