Chapter 167 : Fourth Senior Brother Caught Someone's Eye
Chapter 167 : Fourth Senior Brother Caught Someone's Eye
The Demon Lord Qianming saw that these people were even more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. He immediately called for two more powerful Demon Lord helpers, as well as various demon soldiers and generals he summoned, who surrounded the demon palace inside and out, making it watertight. These people had no chance of escape!!
Big Senior Brother was very upright, but when it was time to be ruthless, he could be quite ruthless. He immediately took their captive, placed his long sword against her neck, and said coldly with an expressionless face, "Take one more step, and I'll kill her!"
"This one is just a weak woman who hasn't done anything. All the ideas were theirs. How can you bear to kill this concubine~" Xie Ji's finger traced a circle on his chest, secretly hiding a trace of demonic energy in her palm.
Gu Chang'an frowned heavily, seeing through it at a glance. Chu Sang was even quicker, raising her hand and pasting more than ten immobilization talismans on Xie Ji.
"One, two, three, wooden man."
The talismans she used were effective across all realms. Whether it was Divine Transformation stage or Mythical stage, they were guaranteed to make one obedient and unable to exert any strength!
Even for high-realm individuals, the effect of the talismans would be reduced, but she had no shortage of talismans here. Restraining someone for a day was not a problem.
The charming smile on Xie Ji's alluring face instantly cracked. She was almost driven mad with the desire to scream, but she couldn't move at all, glaring at the group with anger and resentment.
The bonds between demons could be broken as easily as they were formed. The Demon Lord Qianming could be intimate with her one second and turn against her the next. Xie Ji was truly a bit scared. She rolled her eyes and stiffly forced out a smile, "Don't kill me. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you~"
Chu Sang glanced at the Demon Lord Qianming with his unpleasant expression not far away, then looked at Xie Ji who had been taken hostage. She raised an eyebrow, "Since that's the case, let's not beat around the bush. Tell us honestly, what were the people you sent to the Si Kou mansion last night trying to get? What was your purpose?"
"Of course, it was to obtain the Five Elements Primordial Treasure."
Xie Ji was a straightforward demon. With her life on the line, she completely disregarded the ashen faces of the other Demon Lords and immediately confessed, "You cute little disciples probably don't know... I remember those old men in your cultivation world kept this very tightly under wraps, fearing it would affect your dao hearts."
She giggled and said, having seen the group's true identities when Gu Chang'an used spiritual energy to capture her, "No matter how hard you cultivate diligently, you won't be able to ascend~"
At these words, everyone's expression changed slightly, with only Chu Sang remaining relatively calm.
She knew the plot from the original story. The ascension passage had been closed, and in the end, it was Qin Xixue and her harem who reopened the ascension passage, becoming the first to ascend in ten thousand years.
The group's surprised and doubtful gazes seemed to greatly please Xie Ji. She continued unhurriedly with a smile, "No one from the Spirit Abyss Continent has ascended for ten thousand years. It's because someone among us angered the upper realm ten thousand years ago, so the Heavenly Dao closed the ascension passage. Only by offering the Five Elements Primordial Treasure as compensation will the upper realm reopen the path of ascension."
"Xie Ji!"
The Demon Lord Qianming roared angrily, not wanting her to continue speaking.
Xie Ji merely glanced at him indifferently, pouting as she said, "It's not like it's some secret. What's there to hide? Tch, your courage is really smaller than a mouse's."
"How could the Si Kou family, mere mortals, amass such wealth? Naturally, it's because they have a Primordial Treasure guarding them. That thing is called the Gold of Wealth Gathering, it's the [Metal] among the Five Elements Primordial Treasures. We searched for a long time before finally finding this thing in such an inconspicuous mortal realm. Of course we had to seize it immediately."
Si Kou Qiu was the most surprised of all. So her family was actually guarded by a Primordial Treasure. No wonder her family was so wealthy.
She really didn't know what good deeds her family had done to be so fortunate.
That legendary Gold of Wealth Gathering must be the clan spirit her father spoke of.
"What exactly are the Five Elements Primordial Treasures?" Chu Sang asked again.
"Aiya, I've already said that this concubine has no opinions of her own and only follows them. I don't know the specifics either." She said pitifully, "I've already told you everything I know. You can't go back on your word. Quickly release this concubine~"
"We demons have one Primordial Treasure, but I don't know if you dare to take it?"
The Demon Lord Qianming suddenly spoke, his words full of deeper meaning.
The first to gather the Five Elements Primordial Treasures would naturally be the most favored by the Heavenly Dao, with a great chance of becoming the first to ascend in ten thousand years.
As long as a race produced the first ascension quota, the status of the three realms and four races of the Spirit Abyss Continent would be turned upside down. So, who wouldn't want to compete for this first spot?
But the Demon Lord Qianming was telling them the location of the Primordial Treasure? This was clearly a trap. Why would they tell these cultivators about their own realm's treasure if they couldn't get it themselves?
There was a high possibility that the demon race couldn't get it out themselves and wanted to lure them over as bait.
The bait, Chu Sang, smiled slightly and said, "Since the Demon Lord is so polite, we'll respectfully comply!"
The Demon Lord Qianming laughed coldly. A bunch of fools.
They arrived before an altar. He waved his sleeve and said, "This is the mysterious place left by generations of Demon Sovereigns. The Primordial Treasure is hidden within."
"But unfortunately, this place has restrictions set for all of us demons. Only the Demon Sovereign has the qualification to enter. We cannot take a single step inside."
"While you cultivators are not bound by this restriction. If you want to go, then go and take it. As long as you share this object with our demon realm afterwards."
The Demon Lord Qianming spoke very generously.
Cultivators indeed were not bound by this restriction, but there was one thing he didn't say—
The mysterious place had a killing formation personally set up by generations of Demon Sovereigns. As soon as outside cultivators entered, they would be instantly killed! Without exception!!
He stared intently as these ignorant cultivators stepped towards it.
Suddenly, Chu Sang stopped and turned to look at him sincerely, "I didn't expect you demons to be so kind."
"...... Hurry and go get it. As long as you can obtain the Primordial Treasure, our two races will form an alliance from now on, united as one."
The Demon Lord Qianming's temple twitched as he waited for them to quickly enter the mysterious place. He wanted to personally witness the satisfying scene of these damned cultivators being directly slaughtered!
Chu Sang gratefully nodded at him. Under the Demon Lord Qianming's increasingly twisted and fiery gaze, she stopped again, hesitating, "There really aren't any traps in there, are there? You're not deceiving me, right?"
"......"
He was so anxious, it was like an itch he couldn't scratch.
The Demon Lord Qianming wanted to roar, are you going in or not?!
The answer, naturally, was no.
When they were just one step away from the altar, Chu Sang pulled all her senior brothers and sisters back, hesitating, "I don't think this is quite right. Since the Demon Sovereign personally set up the restriction and only your Demon Sovereign can enter, then we cultivators definitely can't, right? We might be shredded by the formations inside as soon as we enter. No, I need to think of a more reliable method!"
The Demon Lord Qianming was about to cough up blood. If it weren't for the fact that this group was indeed difficult to deal with, he would have wanted to kick them in.
"......Then what do you want to do?" he asked with a gloomy face.
"I think it's better to follow the rules set by generations of Demon Sovereigns. Since it's said that only the Demon Sovereign can enter, naturally we should let the Demon Sovereign come."
The faces of the demons became somewhat peculiar. Did these people really not know, or were they pretending not to know, that their demon race hadn't produced a new Demon Sovereign in this generation?
"What's the standard for determining the Demon Sovereign?"
The Demon Lord Qianming frowned slightly and calmly replied, "The simplest method of identification is the Demon Sovereign's sword."
"That ancient demon sword exclusive to the Demon Sovereign is the possession of each generation of Demon Sovereigns, and also serves as the symbol of the Demon Sovereign's identity. Whoever can obtain this sword naturally has the ability to qualify for the position of Demon Sovereign."
"I understand."
Understand... what did you, a human cultivator, understand?
Under the surprised and perplexed gazes of the demons present, Chu Sang directly made a phone call... no, used a communication jade tablet to call for help, "Fourth Senior Brother, there's something urgent, come quickly!"
Although Fourth Senior Brother was usually as elusive as a dragon showing its head but not its tail, and they could hardly find a trace of him, Fourth Senior Brother was very obedient. After receiving the message from Little Junior Sister and the others, he looked at the location in the demon realm, hesitated a bit, but didn't ask many questions and directly set off for the demon realm.
A mass of black energy gathered in midair, and a tall figure emerged from the black energy. It was Mo Baizhou, who had rushed over at top speed.
He looked at the crowd of fierce and menacing demon cultivators surrounding them tightly, and the four great Demon Lords eyeing them covetously. He was stunned. Had Little Junior Sister called him over... to die?
Indeed, he knew Little Junior Sister didn't like him.
No one in this world liked him.
The gloomy lightning man started to doubt life and want to commit suicide again. Before he could act, Chu Sang quickly said, "Fourth Senior Brother, take out that Demon Sovereign's sword. We need you to lead us to the mysterious place!"
Although Mo Baizhou didn't quite understand the situation, he still obediently took out the sword.
The moment the ancient demon sword appeared, the demon cultivators all became excited, their eyes burning as they stared intently at this ancient demon sword.
Whoever snatched this sword would be the new Demon Sovereign!
The Demon Lord Qianming, who had been itching to act, could no longer hold back. He immediately made his move, intending to seize the sword.
The other Demon Lords naturally didn't want to fall behind.
The melee thus began.
When Yan Wangxing received news from this side, he also rushed over excitedly, wanting to watch a good show. He had even prepared melon seeds, watching the two sides fight, intending to benefit as a bystander.
Chu Sang immediately noticed his arrival and her eyes lit up, as if she had caught the last lifeline. Her voice, specially enhanced with spiritual energy, resounded throughout the entire area, "The mighty and majestic Demon Lord Chiyu, you've finally arrived! This position of Demon Sovereign naturally should belong to you, Demon Lord!!"
"?"
He hadn't even cracked open his melon seeds yet.
The Demon Lord Qianming looked over and sneered, "You've finally deigned to show yourself. You've kept me waiting for a long time!"
He immediately shifted his target, determined to kill Yan Wangxing first, this despicable and shameless mastermind behind the scenes! This traitor who colluded with the ghost realm and the cultivation world!!
Yan Wangxing never expected that instead of watching the tigers fight from the mountain, he would end up drawing fire to himself. His face suddenly darkened and he cursed under his breath, "How truly shameless."
In his nearly hundred years of life, this was the first time he had described someone else as shameless.
The melee became more and more intense, with the Demon Lords particularly targeting Mo Baizhou, who was at the center of the vortex.
A Demon Lord rushed towards him but was blocked by another female Demon Lord, who smiled wickedly, "This one is mine, don't fight me for him!"
She was Wankong, one of the seven great Demon Lords. Mo Baizhou's mask had fallen off during the earlier battle, revealing his handsome face. She stared at Mo Baizhou with burning eyes, licking her lips, "Little one, come with me. I'll make you my only attendant, and I can help you fight back against Qianming."
"......"
The friendship among demons was indeed fragile.
Yan Wangxing, seeing Wankong's perverted and lecherous appearance, seemed to recall some unpleasant memories. His skin crawled as he said, "This person is really perverted. Back then, she was a disciple of the old Demon Sovereign along with me. Not only did she not have a crush on me, she even had a crush on the old Demon Sovereign... Now seeing a man who looks like the old Demon Sovereign, is she rekindling old flames?"
Hearing this explosive gossip, Chu Sang couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. She had to admit that this Demon Lord was quite consistent in a certain way. When the old Demon Sovereign was alive, she had a crush on him, and after he died, she set her sights on the old Demon Sovereign's son, creating a white moonlight substitute plot between father and son.
She never imagined that Fourth Senior Brother would catch a Demon Lord's eye. The other party's strength was formidable, clearly at the late Divine Transformation stage.
If they could turn a late Divine Transformation stage cultivator to their side, their chances of victory would greatly increase!
Chu Sang immediately, without any sense of fellowship, urged, "Why don't you sacrifice your body, Fourth Senior Brother? Use your beauty to seduce her, drag her—"
Mo Baizhou immediately covered her mouth and seriously corrected, "I don't sell my body."
He hadn't fallen to such a level, had he?
Wankong licked her lips and smiled, "Young man, that's not for you to decide."
She immediately moved to forcefully seize him.
Mo Baizhou's face also turned cold as he engaged her.
The two were evenly matched in strength. Whether Wankong would succeed in capturing the beauty or Fourth Senior Brother would refuse to be a captive spouse remained to be seen.
Chu Sang's gaze fell on an inconspicuous corner where a slender, black-clad demon soldier whose entire body was covered was walking towards the altar. Those cautious steps were extremely out of place amidst the surrounding chaos, and the aura was also extremely strange...
Chu Sang narrowed her eyes, her heart moving. She immediately flashed to that person's side and grabbed their arm.
"Ah!"
The person immediately let out a scream like a startled rabbit.
"Qin Xixue?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Chu Sang was exasperated. The female protagonist could really squeeze herself into any situation. She hadn't expected to encounter her even in the demon realm.
After being discovered, the snow-white and beautiful little face under the cloak looked a bit panicked. However, Qin Xixue quickly saw Yan Wangxing not far away. Her eyes lit up and she wanted to go over, "Wangxing, I came to find you."
"What do you want to find me for?"
Yan Wangxing had now cut off all emotions and was about to enter the palace. Whether it was Qin Xixue, Qin Xihua, or Qin Xiye, none of them could stir even a ripple in his heart.
Seeing this female cultivator wanting to actively approach, his eyes even flashed with undisguised disgust. He was almost about to take action.
"Hey, how many times do I have to tell you, stay away from me. I don't like women near me now."
Qin Xixue bit her lip, shame and anger appearing in her eyes. She had given him a heaven-grade healing pill at that time, and this was the attitude she got in return?
"I have something to discuss with you."
