Chapter 913 - 587: Demon Child Freeloader, Dual Yin-Yang Devils

Jusheng Village, Great Demon Tao played his hand skillfully, and the Three Secret Demons bid openly.

The first two rounds went smoothly, but when the Evil Lustful Lecher brought out his own accompanying Exotic Treasure, the "Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow," it immediately subdued the other two lechers completely.

Not only did they refrain from further bidding, but they turned their heads in shock, advising the Evil Lustful Lecher not to proceed.

It must be understood that the child before them was merely a mortal.

Grant the Exotic Treasure!

The price to be paid was not just treasures, but also other costs, all of which the Evil Lustful Lecher would have to bear, allowing Great Demon Tao to reap the benefits.

Before the two Secret Demons could say much, Tao Qian suddenly stepped forward, and in a swift voice declared:

"Deal!"

Those two words were as heavy as a thousand pounds, reverberating with authority.

Gambling and Chi Du both turned their heads with scornful eyes.

If any ordinary Secret Demon Child were looked at this way by two God Demons, their heart would surely tremble with anxiety.

But Tao Qian was not accustomed to indulging anyone.

He smiled warmly in greeting and waved goodbye to the two Demon Paths:

"Your presence is no longer needed here, seniors. We shall meet again if fate permits."

"It's not that I, Tao, favor the Evil Lustful Path, but rather gambling and poisons are utterly irreconcilable to me."

With that, Tao Qian activated an array to forcibly send the two demons back.

As they were sent away, both Gambling and Chi Du had faces full of disbelief, obviously not expecting that a Secret Demon Child among the All Heavens Secret Demons would be treated in such a manner?

Traveled such a long way, didn't even have a bite of blood food, and were insulted by a shameless Secret Demon Child?

This scene indeed made the Evil Lustful Lecher, who had made a ruthless decision to "bleed," laugh involuntarily, and the clusters of black meat tendrils below him wriggled in response.

"Good!"

"What a shameless Ancestor Land Demon Son, just fitting for cultivating demons."

"Seems like my 'Yin Yang Jade Pillow' has found a good temporary master."

The Evil Lustful Lecher said this, but made no move.

He did not immediately take out the Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow and give it to Tao Qian.

He merely looked at him intently, as if waiting for some assurance from Tao Qian.

Seeing this, Tao Qian instantly understood: Although this old lecher was willing to part with such an asset, he needed some promise or assurance from him, not wanting to give away the treasure for nothing.

The so-called "temporary good master" naturally meant that once the treasure was used, it would have to be returned.

If he were trading with genuine teachers, elders, or receiving a favor, Tao Qian would naturally think first of how to repay.

But the Evil Lustful Lecher before him was a errant and evil demon.

Tao Qian, having read the Ten Thousand Demon Name List, would surely know his background, not swayed by his boasts of Yin Yang Dao, which were actually the way of Evil Lustful Absorb.

The Great Book "Ten Thousand Desires Evil Scripture" claimed to include all Daoist and Yin Yang Secret Techniques, Daoist chamber arts, Buddhist Joyful Dharma, etc., seeming impressive, but mostly contained fringe methods with significant costs, disregarded by True Skills... if not for indulging in these, the Evil Lustful Lecher would not have strayed from the Dao Path.

For such an entity!

Whether its true body or demon body, it would only think of freeloading, so how could it think of repayment?

Thus, at this moment, after some contemplation, Tao Qian said bluntly, "Rest assured senior, this junior knows that cultivation comes at a cost. Having received the senior's gift, I will repay in the future."

This answer was respectful and indeed perfunctory.

Repay in the future, but when is this "future," who can tell?

Unfortunately, the Evil Lustful Lecher was not easy to deceive, hearing this, he closed his mouth, the smile on his face diminished.

Seeing this, Tao Qian spoke again:

"This junior, having acquired the senior's Great Book and Yin Yang Jade Pillow, will in this world spread the senior's lineage, nurturing Daoist seeds abundantly."

"In the Search God Realm, a branch of the 'Ten Thousand Desires Evil Sect' will flourish."

These words and conditions were already quite good, although far from compensating for the Yin Yang Pillow.

So the Evil Lustful Lecher shook his head in disappointment, the smile on his face fading even more.

He not only refrained from offering the pillow or magic skills, but slightly shifted as if to leave, showing no interest in even taking the blood food.

Tao Qian couldn't help but continue, saying:

"I forgot to mention, this gift from the senior is a great aid to me."

"When I ascend to the position of Sect Master, I will spare no effort to appoint the senior as Chief Sacrificial Officer in the Secret Demon Sect, allowing access to the resources accumulated within it."

It must be said, this condition was extremely good and tempting.

Even those in the Daoist Transformation Realm could not help but be moved.

Reforging the Secret Demon Sect would certainly not be a repeat of its former, impoverished state.

Becoming Chief Sacrificial Officer comes with unimaginable benefits.

Upon hearing this, the Evil Lustful Lecher's face showed a hint of being moved.

But he soon couldn't help but shake his head again, ultimately turning around, seemingly on the verge of leaving entirely.

Tao Qian seemed to finally be anxious, speaking somewhat rashly:

"Senior, wait!"

"This junior understands, and shall swear an oath to the Ancestors of All Heavens."

"If Tao Qian achieves the Dao, I will surely come to aid the senior, to resolve the calamities of sin upon the senior, correct the Dao Path, transcend tribulations, forget past grievances, and reach the other shore again."

These few sentences could indeed be called a great oath.

Once spoken, they immediately received the ancestral testimonies as a response, and naturally, the Evil Lustful Lecher also sensed it.

He couldn't help but burst into a smile, his peculiar old face resembling a blooming chrysanthemum.

This time, he feared that Tao Qian would regret it, so he immediately turned back to bestow magic and treasures—a mass of flesh wriggling, Source Qi, the Great Book, Clan... and the most crucial Innate Treasure [Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow].

After summoning these items, the Evil Lustful Lecher faced the villagers of Jusheng Village, who had already turned into sacrificial blood food, and sucked them.

He didn't care about the taste of blood food, the Demon Fog swept through, swallowing them whole.

Soon after, before the array dispersed and he returned to the Source Sea, he threw down a sentence:

"Young one, you will surely attain the Dao and sit on that seat of the Secret Demon Venerable."

"I am, after all, an Innate God Demon, my blessing is reliable."

As the demon voice faded, the Evil Lustful Lecher, like a pillar of meat, fell backward and vanished into the ripples of the void.

Only the deserted, burning Jusheng Village was left.

Tao Qian looked at the heap of benefits before him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"Indeed, cultivating demons is faster than the Daoist and Buddhist paths. If you master the art of trickery, the speed might be even quicker."

"It's just that in the future, I might need to trouble my true body. It's best if I can manifest a [Buddha Soul Body] to venture into the Evil Lustful Secret Realm and enlighten that old lecher... So, it wouldn't count as breaking my vow."

If this thought were known to the Evil Lustful Lecher, he would probably rush back to grind Tao Qian's bones to dust.

Dare say this guy's "assistance and conversion" is such a method?

From the very words to the Dao Path itself, it indeed does not count as Tao Qian breaking his vow.

It can only be said, it's a different understanding.

The Evil Lustful Lecher thought this:

"Since this child is selecting the future Sect Master of the Secret Demon Sect, naturally, he should be a demon so evil that it seeps pus from his soles. Having promised to help him correct his Dao Path, he should ultimately use the Supreme Secret Demon Technique and All Heavens Resources to make him fully embrace the Demon Path, forging a Supreme God Demon Body, not like now, neither here nor there. Though he has a grand origin, he is inherently feeble with little combat power."

"In this way, the Secret Demon Sect could add another powerful God Demon as a backbone, achieving a win-win."

While the Great Demon Tao planned thusly:

"First agree with this chump, coaxing benefits out of him, then later manifest a Buddha Soul Body. Just right to enlighten this chump, which could both add to the Buddha Soul Body's merits and remove a big trouble."

...

The Evil Lustful Lecher's handling was without error, and his reasoning was quite logical.

How could he have known?

This Ancestor Land Demon Son, who hoped to sit on the throne of the Secret Demon Sect Master, was actually a traitor, an exchange student, an operative on a gilded mission.

Moreover, the name Tao Qian does not solely refer to the despicable demon son in front of him.

The primordial body is also called Tao Qian, and any potential Buddha that may be manifested in the future will also be called Tao Qian. No matter who comes, it wouldn't count as breach nor breaking a promise.

Such twisted intricacies involve the Duobao Daoist, Lingbao Tianzun, along with several Secret Demon Ancestors, and the karmic weight is so heavy it easily blinds the grand but powerless wartime Evil Lustful Lecher, the Innate God Demon, from the truth.

After grumbling, Tao Qian rubbed his hands and looked ahead.

"Greetings, master!"

Before examining the treasures and the Great Book, he first saw a deceitful creature bowing toward him.

This monster was human-like, dual-gendered, with two heads and four limbs, seemingly forcibly joined as one.

The Yin Body took the appearance of a lustrous young maiden, with snow-white skin.

The Yang Body was that of a young man, fair and beardless, handsome and sturdy.

This outward appearance was excellently camouflaged, yet couldn't fool Tao Qian's keen eyes, especially since he already knew the origin of this deceitful Clan.

"Yin Yang Demon, Source Sea Demon creature, Clan of the Evil Lustful Lecher."

"Their Dharma bodies are nearly undying, inherently possessing various yin yang divine skills, but regardless of gender they are greedy creatures, fond of absorption. They believe that all spirits in the world cannot escape the yin yang category, naturally willing for them to absorb. Meeting a male Yin Body, meeting a female Yang Body."

"Born with many benefits, there are naturally costs. First, they can't reproduce, secondly, the Yin Body and Yang Body are difficult to balance, often ending in mutual destruction."

"When Evil Lustful Lecher was born, besides three treasures by his side, 99 Yin Yang Demons were born. Over the years, only 36 remain. Evil Lustful Lecher kept his treasures, being hunted by Gods and Demons for years, finally willing to give up one of his last remaining 30 plus guardians to me... truly a blood price."

Tao Qian muttered in his heart while keeping an eye on the back of the Yin Yang Demon.

With a curious expression, smiling, he said:

"I see your two Dharma bodies joined, it must be exceedingly uncomfortable."

"Don't worry, I have a treasure [Evil-slaying Sword], which even Gods and Demons can cleave. Once I retrieve it, I'll first chop you apart, release this discomfort."

Upon first meeting their new master, the Yin Yang Demon secretly wondered how this handsome youth before them, didn't look like a master of demon refinement, could he be all talk and no substance?

But unexpectedly, as soon as the new master spoke, it terrified them.

Such a proper demonic demeanor!

He speaks of taking lives right off the bat.

Both the Yin Body and Yang Body were terribly shocked, shaking their heads repeatedly:

"Please don't, please don't!"

"Master might not know, but our two Dharma bodies were born entwined in yin and yang, without attaining Dao we must remain as such lifelong. If she dies, I perish, the yin and yang mutually collapse, inseparable."

"We are nearly undying in battle, except for one 'Chaos Point' on our backs, which is our death spot, hitting it will kill us."

"If the master finds our appearance displeasing, we can transform, please have mercy and don't cut us."

After speaking, demon light flashed.

The twisted and aberrant Yin Yang Demon split into two becoming a pair of beautifully carved Yin Yang children, standing to each side, and knelt again.
