Record of a Demon's Cultivation-Chapter 617: Under the Fallen Nest, No Egg is Whole

Translator: Cinder Translations

---

The Star Chariot divine ship descended upon the city of Four Symbols.

"Ji Yin, Zhu Yin, would you two come with me to the North Extreme Island to meet Senior Brother Yun Xu?" Daoist Lan Yin asked.

Zhu Yin's expression stiffened slightly, clearly reluctant to visit the "Yun Xu" that Daoist Lan Yin mentioned.

There were three Nascent Soul cultivators in the Liangyi Sect, aside from Xuan Chengzi and Daoist Lan Yin, the third being Yun Xu, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Song Wen also didn't want to get involved with the matters of the Liangyi Sect, as he had more pressing matters at hand.

"Senior Lan Yin, Zhu Yin and I have not seen each other for a long time and have some private matters to discuss. We will not visit Senior Yun Xu for now."

Daoist Lan Yin's gaze swept over Song Wen and Zhu Yin, as though she suddenly understood something. A meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"Very well, I will not disturb you two. However, if the demon army arrives, I hope you can lend a hand."

Song Wen's expression became serious, and he spoke with a stern tone.

"Even without Senior Lan Yin's request, we will do our best to resist the demon beasts. Under a fallen nest, how can there be unbroken eggs? Defending against the demon beasts is the duty of us human cultivators."

"I hope you will remember what you've said. Farewell, you two."

With that, Daoist Lan Yin, along with Zi Yun and others, flew towards North Extreme Island.

After the members of the Liangyi Sect departed, Song Wen turned to Zhu Yin.

"Follow me."

The two of them flew off, heading outside the city of Four Symbols. freewebnσvel.cѳm

The scattered cultivators on Liangyi Island had all seen the battle preparedness signal sent by Daoist Lan Yin.

A large number of scattered cultivators were rushing towards the city of Four Symbols.

Inside the city, there were protective arrays. While these arrays were not as powerful as the grand protective formations on the two Extreme Islands, they were certainly stronger than the arrays in the caves of scattered cultivators.

Heading to Four Symbols City was essential for assisting the Liangyi Sect in resisting the demon army, but the chances of success were much greater here than if they were to face the demons alone.

As Song Wen and Zhu Yin flew against the tide of cultivators rushing toward the city, they stood out as somewhat unusual.

The two of them arrived at the peak of Sky Vault Peak.

At this moment, Sky Vault Peak was completely deserted.

Song Wen specifically used his spiritual sense to check the cave of An Tong, only to find it empty.

Song Wen speculated that she had likely been taken by her sister An Yin to the Extreme Islands.

The two Extreme Islands were the true heart of the Liangyi Sect, and their security was far superior to that of Four Symbols City.

An Yin was now a registered disciple of Zi Yun, so arranging this wasn't difficult for her.

After setting up a soundproof barrier, Zhu Yin spoke.

"Ji Yin, thank you for saving my life. I never imagined your strength would be so great. I used to think you were unmatched among Golden Core cultivators, but it seems I underestimated you."

Song Wen replied, "No need for thanks. You should know well that I saved you for a reason. Has the 'Soul Shadow Tracking Technique' in your soul been cleared?"

Zhu Yin nodded and then briefly recounted her process of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Zhu Yin had received two Nascent Soul pills from Song Wen. She first returned to Wu Ji Island to obtain some medicinal herbs and spirit stones, then quietly traveled to the outer sea regions.

She piloted the Star Chariot divine ship until she reached the edge of the outer sea, just as she was about to enter the Misty Ghost Realm. There, she found a small island with ordinary spiritual energy, where she stopped to begin preparing to condense her Nascent Soul.

To avoid staying in the same place for too long and being noticed by Yin Shuo, who might suspect that she was in closed-door cultivation, Zhu Yin chose to condense her Nascent Soul aboard the Star Chariot divine ship.

Every so often, she would activate the Star Chariot and move it to the next island.

This method was highly risky. Sailing the Star Chariot through the outer seas could attract demon beasts, and since she was controlling the ship using her divine sense, there was a real danger that it could cause her Nascent Soul condensation to fail.

However, her luck was exceptional. During the several months she spent in seclusion, she did not encounter any Tier 4 demon beasts. As for other demon beasts, even if they discovered the Star Chariot, they dared not approach.

Perhaps it was due to her eighth-grade talent, or because she had prepared well, but on the ninth month of her closed-door cultivation, she successfully condensed her Nascent Soul and advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

Then, she spent another half month erasing the Soul Shadow Tracking Technique from her soul.

With that, she no longer had to worry about being easily found by Yin Shuo.

She then found a hidden spot underwater and continued her closed-door cultivation for five more months. After initially stabilizing her cultivation, she set off to return to the Inner Sea.

The first thing Zhu Yin did upon returning to the Inner Sea was go to Ji Yin Island to find Song Wen. However, she could not find any trace of him. All she saw was the phrase "Liangyi Four Symbols" left in his cave.

So, she set off for Liangyi Island.

After hearing Zhu Yin's story, Song Wen was greatly relieved to hear that her luck had been favorable.

Not only had her Nascent Soul condensation gone smoothly, but she had also managed to avoid raising Yin Shuo's suspicions.

However, neither Song Wen nor Zhu Yin knew that after Zhu Yin had been missing for several months, Yin Shuo had already begun to think of finding her.

Yin Shuo had not realized that Zhu Yin was secretly condensing her Nascent Soul. He had simply not seen his furnace for a long time, which caused him some unease.

However, just then, the demon army began to gather at the western frontier, which prevented Yin Shuo from leaving Wu Ji Sect easily.

Later, during a fierce battle with the demon army, he was severely wounded, and it was only with Xuan Chengzi's help that he managed to escape with his life.

After returning to Wu Ji Sect, he was in closed-door cultivation to heal his injuries and had no time to search for Zhu Yin.

...

Upon learning that Zhu Yin had erased the tracking technique from her soul, Song Wen felt somewhat relieved.

"We cannot stay on Liangyi Island for long. Once the news of the Star Chariot's appearance reaches Yin Shuo, he will definitely deduce that you are the one controlling the ship. At that point, he will surely come to Liangyi Sect."

When fighting the Heaven Burning Eagle, Song Wen had exposed his technique, the "Corpse King's Rebirth Technique," and used the "Undying True Corpse Transformation" not only to increase his chances of victory but more importantly because the appearance of the Star Chariot had already revealed Zhu Yin's location. Yin Shuo would inevitably come after her.

If Song Wen wanted to absorb Zhu Yin's Yin energy and condense his Nascent Soul, he would become an enemy of Yin Shuo, and thus, he didn't mind revealing the "Corpse King's Rebirth Technique."

"I know we can't stay on Liangyi Island for long. Why don't we leave now?" Zhu Yin asked.

Song Wen shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Not yet. If we leave the island now, we might run into the demon army."

Zhu Yin frowned slightly, puzzled. "The demon army is coming from the southwest. As long as we avoid the southwest, how could we run into them?"

Song Wen replied, "First, you haven't seen the demon army with your own eyes. You only saw the Heaven Burning Eagle and its scout teams. Second, who can be certain that the demon army only sent one force? What if they've sent multiple armies?"

Zhu Yin said, "But from what I know, the demon army's main force has already been restrained by the human alliance in the Northern Regions. How could they have enough forces left to send multiple armies to besiege Liangyi Sect?"

Song Wen said, "This concerns our lives, so we cannot afford to be careless. Right now, it's difficult for us to leave Liangyi Sect, and it's also difficult for anyone to break through the demon army's blockade and deliver the news of your location to Yin Shuo. We must not panic. Furthermore, Liangyi Sect is far from Wu Ji Island, so even Yin Shuo would need a day to arrive. We have enough time to choose the right moment to escape."

After listening, Zhu Yin turned her head slightly and gave Song Wen a deep look.

At that moment, she truly understood Song Wen's caution and composure in his actions.
