"If you do not trust me, dear Daoist, then let's take a Dao Oath together. Then there would be no need for worry, right?"

"Oh, really?"

A hopeful gleam emerged in the eyes of the Demon King Moyun, who had believed his death was certain. At this moment, he was struck by an unforeseen turn for the better.

Yu Yuan did not play coy and took the initiative to make a severe Heavenly Dao Oath.

Sensing the mysterious response bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, Demon King Moyun hesitated no longer. He quickly followed with a Dao Oath and then began to recount to Yu Yuan:

"A few days ago, the Chaos Bell Fragments indeed appeared near Cui Ping Mountain, attracting many Demon Gods to fight over it.

As for me... I, too, went to join in the excitement. However, I have only recently entered the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm and can barely be considered a Great Demon. I am far inferior to those Demon Gods of the Daluo Realm.

Had I not encountered my sworn brother, the leader of the Seventy-two Cave Demon Kings, Cloudy Miles Wandering Peng, I would have certainly perished.

Later, several formidable figures arrived at Cui Ping Mountain, including disciples of Saints from the Western Sect, all clamoring for the action. In the end, my brother, with his superior skills, snatched the Chaos Bell Fragments amidst their siege.

Unconvinced, the others chased after him to the north.

However, my brother, possessing unrivaled speed in this world, would never be caught by them!"

At this point, a natural admiration could be heard in Demon King Moyun's voice. Then, shifting his tone, he spoke softly, "Afterward, knowing I was not qualified to compete for that treasure, I returned to the valley to cultivate in quiet... That is all I know, there's not a single word of falsehood. May I, your humble servant, be allowed to leave now?"

Yu Yuan shook his head, "I have many questions, do not be in a hurry."

Demon King Moyun nodded quickly, "Please ask away, Immortal. I will hold nothing back."

It would have been much better if you were this cooperative earlier.

In this day and age, just asking for directions is truly a hassle.

Yu Yuan smack his lips and then began to inquire about the matter regarding the Heavenly Demon Forbidden God Curse.

Although it was heart-wrenching, Demon King Moyun, being constrained by the Heavenly Dao Oath, had no choice but to tell the whole truth.

According to him, the Heavenly Demon Forbidden God Curse was a spell created by a Demon Saint of the Ancient Heavenly Court, which used the eyes as a medium to trigger the spell.

As long as one directly looks into the eyes of the caster, one's body would turn to stone, and the Primordial Spirit would be imprisoned within.

Most importantly, after being petrified, one becomes a new "Caster," and the Mana, Primordial Spirit, and malevolence of the victim all transform into the Curse Killing Power.

Simply put, the more victims sealed by the Heavenly Demon Forbidden God Curse, and the deeper their Dao Xing and Mana, the stronger the curse's power would be.

Demon King Moyun obtained this secret spell unintentionally and, over the years, had tried everything to kill nearly a thousand Demon Immortals with the Heavenly Demon Forbidden God Curse.

Even those with the lowest Dao Xing were of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The Curse Killing Powers of these thousand stone sculptures, gathered together, could overpower even a Daluo Golden Immortal who didn't have Protective Spirit Treasures.

That was the foundation of Demon King Moyun's confidence.

"One last question," Yu Yuan looked at Demon King Moyun and said, "It was after hearing my name that you decided to make your move, correct? Why?"

Without hesitation, Demon King Moyun answered, "Just this morning, someone offered a mid-grade Spiritual Treasure as a reward for any Demon King who would report on your whereabouts..."

He divulged the whole story, including key details on how he contacted the person behind the bounty, all without waiting to be asked, willingly laying all the cards on the table.

Afterward, looking at Yu Yuan with anticipation, he asked, "Immortal, you have no more questions, do you?"

Yu Yuan shook his head, "No more."

"Then may I leave?" asked Demon King Moyun tentatively.

"This is your cave mansion; you don't have to leave…" Yu Yuan said with a smile, "You shall turn into a stone statue and stay here forever."

Demon King Moyun's eyes widened in disbelief, "But you took a Dao Oath!"

"Uh-huh, I know."

Yu Yuan nodded, then grabbed Demon King Moyun and tossed him into that long corridor lined with stone sculptures.

In an instant, nearly a thousand stone sculptures all turned their heads to look at him, their eyes emitting a strange green light.

"No!"

Demon King Moyun screamed in horror and despair. His flesh instantly turned to stone.

A phantom cyan raptor emerged from the top of his head, flapping its wings, attempting to flee.

It was his Primordial Spirit trying to escape its stone body. But the stone body, now imbued with an eerie power, slowly drew his Primordial Spirit back…

At that moment, a crimson bolt of lightning descended from the sky, piercing through the cave mansion and landing on Yu Yuan.

Still the familiar recipe, still the familiar flavor.
