Chapter 1209 - 1207: Two Great Demon Kings Were Captured
In the gaze of everyone, Su Qi slowly descended, but before she could speak, Kong Lifeng suddenly lit up with excitement. He caught a glimpse of a special Jade Medallion on Su Qi, and what was crucial was that this Jade Medallion looked exactly the same as the Kong Family’s Ancestral Symbol. In an instant, he bubbled with excitement, suspecting a connection between Su Qi and the Kong Family!
"May I ask, Immortal, the Jade Medallion you are wearing is identical to our Kong Family’s Ancestral Symbol. Could it be that you share some history with our Kong Family?" Staring at the Female Immortal before him, Kong Lifeng was extremely nervous as he cautiously inquired, holding the Kong Family Head’s Token. He truly wished to know if there was any relation between this Female Immortal and the Kong Family; if there was, it would be marvelous.
Hearing Kong Lifeng’s words, Su Qi turned her gaze towards him and also noticed the Jade Medallion he held, which bore the exact same pattern as her own. After realizing the truth, she casually responded to Kong Lifeng, "There is somewhat of a connection."
This Jade Medallion had been a gift to her, and she was indeed quite closely related to the person who had given it to her. This indeed linked her to the Kong Family, which is why she bothered to give a brief explanation; otherwise, she would never have paid any attention to Kong Lifeng.
Upon hearing Su Qi’s words, Kong Lifeng was ecstatic to the point of insanity, immediately shouting to all the Kong Family members: "All Kong Family members, assemble and greet our ancestor!"
He was truly overjoyed. Now that the Kong Family had the support of an Immortal, his happiness knew no bounds, immediately beckoning all the members of the Kong Family to pay their respects. Although the Female Immortal appeared quite young, looking to be just over twenty, who didn’t know cultivators often had greater ages, and maintaining a youthful appearance was hardly a difficult task for an Immortal. Therefore, no one dared to slight Su Qi, fearing to offend her over this matter.
"En, it’s alright, everyone rise," said Su Qi as she saw how respectful the Kong Family members were, nodding her head and speaking casually, but inwardly she was quite delighted. She had never before received such treatment.
The Kong Family members got up gleefully after hearing the Immortal say so. But at this moment, the people from the other three Prominent Families were dumbstruck. They could never have imagined that the Immortal who descended had connections with the Kong Family. Just thinking about it turned their faces sour, as the arrival of an Immortal could disrupt the equilibrium of the Hidden World. With the support of an Immortal, if the Kong Family harbored any ambitions, the other Prominent Families couldn’t possibly resist, a truly disastrous situation for them.
Similarly, Lin Feng hadn’t expected this Female Immortal to be connected with the Kong Family either. For a moment, he was also taken aback, but he didn’t care much about these developments. After all, a mere early-stage Human Immortal Realm cultivator was not yet qualified to warrant his concern, so after a brief glance at Su Qi, Lin Feng no longer bothered to look at her.
But what no one anticipated was Su Qi’s subsequent arrangements...
Having glanced over the Kong Family members, Su Qi said to them, "Your performance this time is commendable. The Upper Realm has instructed me to bring down some gifts as a reward for you all."
After speaking, Su Qi pulled out several Elixirs and tossed them directly to Kong Lifeng, leaving him frozen in place, unclear why Su Qi would give the rewards to him. The Xia Family had won first place in the competition; shouldn’t the reward be for them?
As he stood in a daze, he caught Su Qi giving him a meaningful look, immediately grasping her intention, and quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank Immortal for her grace; we shall endeavor to do even better in the future."
Grasping the Elixirs given by the Immortal, Kong Lifeng was overwhelmed with excitement. Although he was unaware of the exact nature of the Elixirs, his experience assured him they were treasures. Never had he imagined that finishing last would result in such a reward, and with a triumphant smile, he glanced at the stupefied Xia Yuntian.
At this time, the Kong Family was beside themselves with joy. Gazing at the Immortal, elation was evident on their faces as they thought: "An Immortal is indeed an Immortal, casually handing over rewards meant for the Xia Family to us instead. This is simply too splendid. What use is the Xia Family’s first place if the ultimate reward ends up with us! This will drive the Xia Family mad!"
This unexpected turn of events stupefied the Xia, Song, and Gu Families. No one anticipated the Immortal would bestow the prize upon the Kong Family. In that moment, members of the three families were seething with rage yet dared not express it openly, as the offender was an Immortal.
Little did they know that all this was solely Su Qi’s own idea. The Upper Realm had a clear view of the competition below, and understanding the situation, the awards were quite generous, specifically sending Su Qi down with gifts in praise. However, upon seeing the Kong Family, Su Qi acted on a whim, disregarding the rightful recipients, the Xia Family, and gave all the reward Elixirs to the Kong Family. What nobody knew was that the rewards presented to the Kong Family were only a meager portion of what was actually sent down; the best Elixirs she had secretly kept for herself.
The Xia Family was infuriated, never expecting the Immortal to arrange the rewards this way, completely overlooking their first-place finish. Yet with the Immortal involved, even in their anger, they dared not utter a word, and could only curse the Kong Family in their hearts...
The Song Family was not faring any better. Originally, they were supposed to receive some reward, but with this development, they ended up with nothing. Their view of the Kong Family was filled with hostility. If not for the Kong Family, such a change in the rewards would have never occurred. Everything was the Kong Family’s fault.
Song Wuya’s gaze then shifted to the Song Family’s elder, Song Hong, noting the displeasure on his face. In light of the situation, Song Wuya held his tongue. At this moment, no one dared to offend an Immortal, not even an elder; they had no choice but to swallow the insult, no matter how bitter it might be!
Lin Feng, upon witnessing this scene, felt nothing special. He had already examined the elixirs from the Kong Family with his Divine Sense. Although they were good, as long as he had the materials, he could also refine them, and in terms of quality, they were not even as good as what the old man could produce. However, such items were indeed quite impressive in the Hidden World, and no one there could match their purity. It was normal for the Prominent Families to care so much about them.
After casually distributing the elixirs awarded by The Upper Realm to Kong Lifeng, Su Qi had completed her mission. With nothing else to do, she released her Divine Sense to get a feel for the world around her. She had not expected that as soon as her Divine Sense was extended, she would detect two demi-immortal level Demon Kings, which delighted her instantly!
These demi-immortal level Demon Kings were treasures indeed. She happened to have a Dharma Treasure that required two Demon Cores of this level. Capturing these two Demon Kings would allow her to complete her Dharma Treasure. She had not expected to encounter such good fortune in this Lower Realm.
With this thought in mind, her happiness grew. With a casual wave of her hand, a beam of light shot out, startling everyone present. None understood what Su Qi was doing. However, as they all looked on in confusion, suddenly, earth-shattering roars filled the air!
"Ao!"
"Sss!"
"Boom!"
...
Following the sound, they were astonished to see a gigantic spherical net flying towards them, with two enormous Demon Beasts struggling and roaring inside. The blue and black Demon Energy tumbled as they frantically fought, even causing the massive sphere to expand to hundreds of yards in size. Still, they could not break free...
What Demon Beasts are these?
For a moment, everyone present was bewildered, wondering what kind of Demon Beasts the Immortal had captured. But then, suddenly, a voice shattered the calm!
"That... That’s the Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger and the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon!"
A cry of astonishment made everyone understand exactly what Demon Beasts were held within the net. Everyone was stunned; they had not expected the Female Immortal to capture these two beings with a single move. They thought Immortals truly were on a different level; this was too incredible, too terrifying!
Even the ancestors of the various families could hardly rival these two Great Demon Kings from the Hidden World. Yet, before the Immortal, they had been powerless to resist. They had never imagined Immortals could be so unbelievably formidable; it was inconceivable!
The two Great Demon Kings trapped in the net were even more frustrated; they had not anticipated being suddenly captured. They were, after all, unparalleled in the Hidden World, yet they had now been caught unawares, and despite all their efforts, they could not break free - they were on the brink of going mad. Up to now, they still had no idea what was happening...
But they both had a bad feeling. Whoever had managed to trap them would be terrifyingly powerful; they simultaneously recalled the scene they had witnessed from afar of the Immortal’s arrival and murmured to themselves, wondering if it was the Immortal who had captured them. Otherwise, who could possess such terrifying strength to catch them in an instant!
Seeing that the two Great Demon Kings relentlessly attempted to escape, Su Qi couldn’t help but laugh. The Nine Profound Sky-Capturing Earthly Net was an exceptional Dharma Treasure; given the two Great Demon Kings’ strength, they were dreaming if they thought they could break free. Today, these two Great Demon Kings had no chance of escaping from her grasp.
As the Nine Profound Sky-Capturing Earthly Net carrying the two Great Demon Kings shot towards Su Qi at great speed, the Demon Kings completely panicked. The closer it got, the more frightened they became. Just when they were in utter despair, they suddenly heard Su Qi speak.
"There’s no need for futile struggles. You both cannot escape from the Nine Profound Sky-Capturing Earthly Net. Using demi-immortal level Demon Cores to refine the Seven Ingenious Exquisite Fan does not demean you." Seeing that the two Great Demon Kings still tried to resist, Su Qi spoke with a smile, certain that there was no way they could escape her palm today.
