Chapter 1004 - 542: Fellow Daoists, So Tasty and Delicious!
Shangguan Shang raised an eyebrow, his gaze cold, scanning the ten directions, his expression unchanged.
As a member of the Human Clan, if the opportunity was right, he would rather annihilate all these aliens before him completely.
But at this moment, the major task is more important, restraining his killing intent.
Yet he was unwilling to yield, gripping his hand, flames bursting forth.
"In front of the Earth Official, do you intend to slaughter each other?"
Just then, a voice was heard coming from afar.
Only to see a fierce tiger standing atop a mountain, with wings on its back.
Descendant of Qiongqi!
"Hmph!"
Shangguan Shang's face was indifferent, walking towards the valley.
But after a pause, he couldn't help but glance at the descendant of Qiongqi.
Logically speaking, Lord Lin Yan had already slain the descendant of Qiongqi, taken the invitation, and come to attend the feast.
Why hasn't Lord Lin Yan appeared until now?
Yet this descendant of Qiongqi is intact?
Could something have gone wrong?
But with Lord Lin Yan's skills, taking down that descendant of Qiongqi should have been effortless; such a mishap shouldn't have occurred!
Could it be...
Shangguan Shang's eyes were filled with uncertainty.
Lord Lin Yan is not only the Human Martial Saint, but his various skills are extremely mysterious.
Having a magic method like the Concealing Breath Technique, he may have transformations to change forms!
He heard that among the heavenly gods in those years, there were those capable of countless transformations too.
Thinking this, his heart slightly tensed.
Although he still harbored caution towards the descendant of Qiongqi.
But if a conflict arises next, unless absolutely necessary, he will avoid the descendant of Qiongqi first and observe carefully.
As the demons and god-demon descendants here gradually stepped into the valley, from far away, quite a few other alien species were also rushing to the Plague Department's fifth Earth Official's annual feast.
The poison gas spread throughout the valley.
Even the sandy soil and rock walls here seemed to have been permeated by toxins over the years.
Any rock taken out, an ordinary life form would touch it and die instantly from poison.
A bit of dust and sand would hover in the wind, and taking a sniff would lead to death.
But this human skin invitation was concocted by the Earth Official of the Plague Department, serving as a token with detoxifying effects.
The valley was covered with toxic fog, gathering overhead like a temple ceiling.
And entering the valley, flames roared beneath, black smoke pervaded.
The Earth Evil flame rose.
A pill furnace hung above.
Light flickered within the furnace.
Below the pill furnace, a giant toad spoke in human language.
"The Lord Earth Official is concocting pills, you should first make arrangements."
As the voice fell, the giant toad opened its mouth and spat.
A large heap of tables, chairs, cushions, and stones made from rocks piled up.
Arrivals each stepped forward to select suitable tables and chairs.
For instance, that panther-like heavenly demon chose a cushion and lay upon it.
The holy spirit transformed by evil spirit chose a rock and appeared lying on it.
The giant bear, the man with blue scales, Shangguan Shang, and the descendant of Qiongqi each chose tables and chairs.
The remaining demons, god-demon descendants, each chose accordingly.
The over ten-zhang tall greenish giant sat directly on the ground, grabbing a rock to place in front of him as a tabletop.
The Earth Evil flame was still being refined within the pill furnace.
The Earth Official of the Plague Department had yet to arrive.
Once these demons and god-demon descendants settled down, they began conversing, exchanging messages, and interacting.
"I heard that over to the east overseas, a multicolored stone appeared, formed from the five viscera and six bowels of a great god after death, acquired by a fish demon from overseas."
"Could it be a kidney stone?" muttered the Little White Ape.
"Rumor has it that a Divine Flower grew in the western desert, but it was picked by the royal family there. If we could also grow a Divine Flower here, it would be great."
"Speaking of this, it's said that a very mad royal was recently discovered here. Its form is exactly like a human, yet terrifyingly powerful."
"With a blade in hand, it subdued a White Ape with wings, which should also have the god-demon bloodline."
"And a Kui Bull, with genuine high-grade Divine Beast bloodline."
"This royal probably had some strange energy enter the brain, and went mad in a terrifying way, wantonly killing wherever it went."
The man with blue scales clicked his tongue and said, "I heard that after they killed, they didn't even eat, just incinerated everything on the spot, what a waste."
"Not eating what's killed? Is this a joke? How outrageous!"
"Indeed, wild slaughter all the way, unless the mind is truly insane, how else could this happen?"
"Look at us, we're quite normal, at the very least, if I kill you, I would definitely eat!" said the man with blue scales, looking at the White Bear in a low voice.
"But you don't look too normal to me," White Bear sneered, "last time when you saw me, you promised to cut off a section of intestine and let me taste your ancestor's bloodline, and now you're pretending to be ignorant, maybe you're going mad too."
"Nonsense! The last time I just slightly lost my mind, recently after eating over two thousand humans, my mind has returned to normal." The man with blue scales flew into a rage.
"Then, does your previous promise about the intestine still count?" asked the White Bear.
"Promises made during madness, do they count?" The man with blue scales immediately shook his head!
"How outrageous!"
The White Bear slammed the table, about to make a move.
"Are you not giving Reverence to the Lord Earth Official?"
At this moment, that giant toad finally spoke, its tone unfriendly: "Or have you all gone mad too?"
The White Bear then sheepishly smiled and sat down, glaring at the man with blue scales, angrily saying: "Once out of the valley, I'll personally extract your intestines."
"I was thinking of eating your bear paws!"
The man with blue scales snorted, then looked at Shangguan Shang, saying: "By the way, fellow Daoist, is the meat of your wings plump? I reckon grilling it would taste good..."
Shangguan Shang said indifferently: "I suppose your brains might not be bad either."
"Brains, huh?"
The man with blue scales pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No, my cultivation isn't strong enough. If I crack my skull, I certainly won't survive; otherwise, I could cut off the Dragon Whip under my belly and trade it for your wings?"
"..."
The Little White Ape drew a sharp breath and whispered: "Master, this one's ruthless..."
The Qiongqi lay on the table, its eyes slightly narrowing, ignoring the situation.
Inside the Nirvana Divine Egg, Niu Yan murmured: "This world is terrifyingly deranged, even more so than the demons of later eras..."
Then, the demons and god-demon descendants continued their discussion.
"For this annual feast, who knows what kind of medicine the Earth Official will refine?"
"Lord Qingshan, originally only three zhàng high, grew over ten zhàng tall after taking the Earth Official's medicine, his physique increased severalfold!"
"Though my mana hasn't increased, my bloodline has been greatly purified, just this physique alone..." the ten-zhàng tall green giant laughed heartily: "With this physique alone, I could pound a Heavenly Demon to death!"
"A body with no brain!" sneered the panther-like Heavenly Demon: "I took the Earth Official's medicine as well, and my soul became stable, my body like thunder, toying with you would be like walking a dog... even if you can pound a Heavenly Demon to death, you have to be able to catch it first!"
"Alright, alright, let's all be harmonious." The Evil Spirit Holy Spirit previously spoke eerily: "This time, I brought the souls of twenty thousand people, including two Human Clan's Primordial Spirits, as offerings. I wonder what gifts fellow Daoists have prepared?"
"I have fifteen thousand humans, intact in flesh and soul, still alive, ready to be slaughtered." The White Bear raised its head proudly: "When the feast begins, we'll kill a few to let fellow Daoists taste the humans I've raised, sweet and delicious!"
"I've long heard that the White Bear Daoist has a unique method of raising humans, and now we get to taste it."
The man with blue scales swallowed a mouthful, took out an item, and said: "I recently acquired a treasure, rumored to be a single eye of the Gold-Eyed Camel, the mount of the Plague Department's former master. Surely no one's offering here is heavier than mine."
Saying this, he looked at Shangguan Shang: "What gift did you bring, fellow Daoist?"
"..."
Shangguan Shang's face was expressionless, he did not speak.
But in his heart, the killing intent surged, nearly uncontrollable.
And at this moment, the lid of the pill furnace shot skyward.
Laughter accompanied the rise.
"Hahaha, expending the blood and flesh of one hundred thousand people, using souls as the lead, finally achieved ten All-Spirit Human Pills!"
The Earth Official of the Plague Department laughed loudly: "Commence the feast! Commence the feast!"
