Sima Huiniang and Li Yingzhang exchanged a glance and nodded tacitly.
"Then we shall await the good news from the Second Elder!"
Ling Fengzi’s mouth twitched slightly, feeling both amused and helpless inside.
Earlier, he had praised the cultivators of Luo Tian Sect to Luo Chen, saying they were all exceptional talents, but now these "talents" were using their singing and acting skills on him.
Oh well!
Since he’s joined Luo Tian Sect, he should indeed do sothing worthwhile.
...
Inside the grand hall.
Luo Chen looked down upon Di Tu standing below.
"Did you know about Ping Mountain Monarch’s intention to take action?"
"Yes."
"Is it because of the Chang Ghost ford from the Devouring Essence Beast?"
"Yes."
"Does Ping Mountain Monarch truly value a Chang Ghost so much?"
"Gao Chang is different from ordinary Chang Ghosts; his origin is a Savage Beast, and an ancient variant at that. It’s as if he was ant to target Qi Refiners, having a great appetite for devouring cultivators’ Dao Fruit. My father once said that this world dislikes the excessive demands from demon cultivators and human cultivators alike, which is why such beings were born to destroy everything. If he can promote this Chang Ghost to the Divinity Transformation Realm, he might be able to traverse the Five Continents and unify the Mountain Sea Realm!"
Luo Chen montarily lost his composure.
He had also heard similar statents from Lei Daozi, but the other party had ultimately withheld so information.
But now, under Di Tu’s account, he finally understood the terrifying origin of the Chang Ghost nad Gao Chang.
He fixed a burning gaze on Di Tu, while within his Sea of Consciousness, a massive Divine Soul pressed down a wisp of Soul Blood.
Under his gaze, Di Tu’s body trembled slightly, as if his life and death were at the whim of the other.
"Master, I speak nothing but the truth!"
Luo Chen slowly released the suppression and fell into deep thought.
Di Tu sighed in relief, only then realizing that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
That feeling of life and death being controlled by soone else was truly terrifying.
Suddenly!
A voice echoed within the hall.
"Do you think, if Ping Mountain Monarch knows you are enslaved by , he would co to kill?"
"He would, my father is very..."
"You’re lying!"
Luo Chen said softly.
With a thought, Di Tu felt a shock in his brain, a wave of extre pain surged through him.
He couldn’t help himself, clutching his head and collapsing to the ground.
Golden fur even began to appear on his body, as if he might lose control and reveal his true form.
Luo Chen coldly watched the scene unfold, though he had outwardly lifted the Divine Soul suppression earlier, he had been keeping an eye on the other’s reactions.
When he unexpectedly asked that question, there was a mont of hesitation from Di Tu, and only after a violent fluctuation in his Divine Soul did he provide an answer.
This isn’t a subconscious reaction!
Therefore, the other party had lied!
Monts later, Di Tu, drenched in sweat and pale-faced, knelt on the ground timidly.
"Master, he likely wouldn’t co to rescue ."
"Explain," Luo Chen asked, then added, "I hope you won’t deceive again. Surely you’ve seen the Soul Banner erected over Baili Qingchuan, the sect does have so skill in tornting Divine Souls."
Di Tu swallowed hard, already feeling it.
"I dare not, I truly dare not!"
"Then explain a thing or two!"
Di Tu gave a bitter smile and slowly recounted the past.
"My father’s true form is a White Tiger with a heavy killing nature, who has been fighting in the Million Mountains since childhood..."
The Ancient Demon Di Tian, whose true form was that of a White Tiger, was extrely bloodthirsty.
Without any support, he fought his way out of the Eastern Wasteland Million Mountains and established his status as an ancient demon.
During this process, his bloodlust gradually receded due to threats from the Human Clan, and he gravitated towards becoming a resourceful and strategic figure.
Over ti, he had three sons.
The eldest was Huang Man, one of the Nine Great Commanders.
This demon had mixed blood, did not inherit Di Tian’s talents, but inherited Di Tian’s early bloodthirstiness, thus receiving considerable attention from Di Tian.
He even declared in front of many Demon Clan experts — "This child is like !"
The youngest was born after Di Tian achieved the God Transformation Realm with his favored concubine, Jinxiu Immortal.
That was a "daughter"!
Di Tu referred to her as "sister."
This demon was born with visions, not only was the White Tiger lineage very pure, but she also possessed wings, born extraordinary!
The Ancient Demon Di Tian adored her imnsely, protecting her in every possible way, not allowing her to see outsiders, secretly raising her in a Cave Heaven.
By comparison, Di Tu was not as fortunate.
As the second child, he neither gained his father’s attention nor favoritism. Additionally, being born later, he was heavily suppressed by his eldest brother and could not build his own faction.
Of course, thanks to "my ancient demon father," Di Tu lived quite well within the Demon Clan, with few daring to provoke him.
Unfortunately, that was within the Demon Clan.
This ti, during the Human and Demon War, he intended to gain fa, voluntarily asking to capture Luo Chen.
But who would have expected to encounter such a formidable foe!
After listening to these stories, Luo Chen finally understood why the son of the noble Ancient Demon was so lacking in battle.
Unlike the eldest son who was valued, nor like the youngest daughter who was adored, yet still having a high-ranking and powerful father to shield him from storms. While his realm could rise with vast resources provided by the ancient demon father, his ntality fell far behind.
As for strength?
With such a lacking ntality, no matter how high the realm, how much strength could truly be exerted?
Furthermore, Luo Chen was already on par with him in realm; in battles of the sa order, Luo Chen had never feared anyone!
"Father has held back, likely encountering a Great Power of the Dark Abyss Sect. Now that the war is at a standstill, he must be in a tight spot, how could he possibly care about soone as useless as ?"
