"I am Demon Venerable Chonglou."
Xu Qing said calmly.
"Demon Venerable?"
Ye Langtian’s five subordinates were stunned. They looked at Xu Qing in bewildernt. "What arrogance. To dare call himself a ’Demon Venerable’..."
"He dares call himself a Demon Venerable? He truly doesn’t know his own limitations."
"Don’t you know that only those who have entered the ’Third Realm’ are qualified to bear the title ’Venerable’?"
...
"Silence,"
Ye Langtian snapped.
!!!
The five Elders from the Blood Demon Sect Branch imdiately fell silent.
"Our Blood Demon Sect Branch and the esteed Lord Apostle are, of course, sincere in our desire to form an alliance with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. We wish to study the ’Inheritance Stone Plate Fragnt’ together."
Ye Langtian said calmly, "But, as the saying goes, one can never be too careful. We may be sincere, but we can’t guarantee that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect doesn’t have ulterior motives."
"Therefore,"
"to be cautious, we must make the necessary preparations. This ’Demon Venerable Chonglou’ is a helper I specifically invited. His power is imnse and unfathomable. This is to ensure that if the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect truly tries sothing, we will have nothing to fear. We might even be able to turn the tables and eliminate them."
"Do you understand?"
"So that’s it."
"Lord Ye is truly wise."
"Excellent, excellent."
"Our respects to Your Excellency, Demon Venerable Chonglou."
...
The five Elders from the Blood Demon Sect Branch at Ye Langtian’s side bowed to Xu Qing one after another. They did not doubt Ye Langtian’s words in the slightest.
Because...
Xu Qing was already using the power of a Level 20 Demon Mask. His fifteen subordinates, Daoist Soldiers included, had also donned Level 20 masks to disguise themselves.
As a result,
the five Elders of the Blood Demon Sect couldn’t detect anything amiss.
"Your Excellency, Demon Venerable Chonglou, please follow ,"
Ye Langtian said.
"Alright."
Xu Qing’s expression was cold and aloof, and he was a man of few words. Beside him, his fifteen ’Demon King’s Subordinates’, their Demonic Qi swirling, remained utterly silent.
They exuded an extrely oppressive aura.
Afterward,
Ye Langtian and his group led the way. Xu Qing followed silently behind them, his expression calm as they walked into the depths of the Ten Thousand Inches Mountain Range.
At the sa ti,
Xu Qing spread his senses and faintly detected traces of a bizarre aura.
Apparently,
the Deceitful People of the Deceitful Palace had already laid an ambush here.
About ten minutes later,
Xu Qing followed Ye Langtian deep into the Ten Thousand Inches Mountain Range and arrived at a vast basin. He could already sense a powerful Demon Qi.
The basin in the Ten Thousand Inches Mountain Range.
This basin was known as the Ten Thousand Inches Basin. It was ford by the Ten Thousand Inches Mountain Range, and its diater spanned over ten thousand ters.
The entire basin was split into two areas.
In one,
the mbers of the Blood Demon Sect Branch occupied one area, while the nurous mbers of the Demon Race from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect occupied the other. Even in the dim light of night, Xu Qing could still make out the towering, enormous Ferocious Beasts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Though few in number, each beast was as colossal as a mountain peak.
Moreover,
Xu Qing also detected a familiar aura among them. It was the Cabbage Flower Snake, which had already reached Level 25. However, the Level 25 Cabbage Flower Snake was concealing its aura; the presence it projected was only that of a ’Thirteen-Level Ferocious Beast’.
Although the Cabbage Flower Snake’s Level 25 body was one of the largest among the giant Ferocious Beasts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, its aura was only at the level of a ’Thirteen-Level Ferocious Beast’. The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, on the other hand, had several Fifteen-Level Ferocious Beasts.
It was important to note,
a Fifteen-Level Ferocious Beast had already reached the ’Extraordinary Extre’.
"You’re back?"
Over on the Blood Demon Sect Branch’s side,
Xu Qing followed Ye Langtian into the ranks of the Blood Demon Sect Branch. All the mbers present were of the Elder Level.
Glancing around,
he gave a quick scan.
He could confirm,
that he could see thirty-two Elders of the Blood Demon Sect Branch. Every one of them was at the ’Demon Infant Realm’. Besides the thirty-two Elders, there were also nine ’Supre Elders’. These nine Supre Elders were covered in wrinkles, their hair was white, and they looked as if they had one foot in the grave.
However,
all nine Supre Elders of the Blood Demon Sect Branch were at the ’Sixth Transformation of Demon Infant Realm’, having reached the ’Extraordinary Extre’.
"Mm,"
Ye Langtian nodded, a slight smile on his face. "Liu Ying," he said, "let introduce you. This is ’Demon Venerable Chonglou’, the sworn brother I’ve told you so much about. We went through life and death together in a dangerous secret realm. It’s only thanks to ’Demon Venerable Chonglou’s’ help that I made it back alive with my strength greatly increased."
"I’ve certainly heard you ntion him many tis."
Evidently,
the alluring Witch before him—with her oval face, almond-shaped eyes, small cherry-like lips, fiery figure, fair skin, and the black lotus mark between her brows—was none other than the leader of the Blood Demon Sect, Liu Ying, the very one who was involved with Ye Langtian.
In fact,
this was the first ti Xu Qing had t the leader of the Blood Demon Sect.
At first glance,
Xu Qing sensed a bewitching charm from her, as well as a faint, oppressive aura. The leader of the Blood Demon Sect had clearly also reached the Extraordinary Extre, the ’Sixth Transformation of Demon Infant Realm’.
’As for how many types of True Intent she has mastered, I have no way of knowing. I’d have to fight her to find out.’
"Demon Venerable Chonglou,"
Liu Ying swept her gaze over Xu Qing. Her red lips parted as she spoke. "Are you aware that only those who have entered the ’Third Realm’ are qualified to bear the title ’Venerable’? You are rely at the Demon Infant Realm, a great distance from the ’Third Realm’, yet you dare to call yourself a ’Demon Venerable’."
"Should I call you arrogant, or do you actually have the skill to back it up?"
"A Demon Venerable?"
"Heh heh."
"How absurd..."
Nearby,
a few Supre Elders glanced over, their tone and gazes filled with contempt. However, since Xu Qing was Ye Langtian’s guest, they didn’t mock him too openly.
"Ahem..."
Ye Langtian cleared his throat and said, "My brother may not have entered the ’Third Realm’, but he is incredibly strong. What’s wrong with him calling himself a ’Demon Venerable’?"
Throughout all of this,
Xu Qing said nothing.
This was because...
Xu Qing was currently in ntal communication with the Level 25 Cabbage Flower Snake, getting an update on the situation within the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
BOOM!
Just then,
the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch appeared. Xu Qing had seen this Lord Apostle once before, on the final level of the Reincarnation Ruins.
However,
Xu Qing’s mory of him was hazy.
Most importantly,
the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch always wore a mask, completely obscuring his true face. It was the sa now—he wore a solid black mask.
VMMM! VMMM!
The Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch appeared, descending from the sky to land in the very center of the Ten Thousand Inches Basin. In his hand, he held a black box.
The ’Inheritance Stone Plate Fragnt’ belonging to the Blood Demon Sect Branch was inside that black box.
"I have arrived."
The Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch placed the black box on the ground before him. His voice was calm, filled with absolute confidence. "Master of Ten Thousand Demons Gate, are you not going to show yourself?"
"Hahahaha..."
The next mont,
a booming laugh echoed through the basin.
VMM! VMM! VMMM!!!
Then, in the sky,
a giant eagle soared into view. It had the head of a dragon and the body of an eagle. Its Demon Qi was imnse, its presence magnificent. As its wings spread, they seed to blot out the sky.
BOOM!
The next mont,
the dragon-headed eagle began to change. Amid a brilliant flash of light, its massive, bestial form transford into a dignified, middle-aged man. He wore a black Dragon Robe and stood in the Void with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down upon the Lord Apostle of the Blood Demon Sect Branch.
Upon closer inspection,
one could see that the dignified man had black eagle feathers on his neck, wrists, and ankles—the only traces of his other form.
