4. Proposal
Once, the God of War of the Six Heavens slew an incomparably powerful evil dragon. Afterwards, the god was utterly disillusioned with the corrupt humanity and transformed into a demon god of destruction and rebirth. He used the evil dragon to create the Otherworld Demon Realm and to nurture the demon race that would destroy the human world...
"Teng Xielang, you've woken up. It's been a long time since we last met."
Teng Xie was recalling the origin of the Otherworld, which was why there was such a strange place between bloodlines in the Demon Realm... The entire Otherworld was inside the Otherworld Dragon.
Suddenly, a refined and gentle voice rang in his ears. He turned around and saw a scholar in a long robe of indigo and black, holding a whisk, with a gentle demeanor and handsome appearance, standing in front of him.
Unbound and adrift, affectionately known as Secretary Ren by fellow Daoists, Ren may not be the most brilliant strategist, but he possesses considerable abilities, especially excelling in infiltration, disguise, and intelligence gathering… Many memories flooded Teng Xie's mind, and he chuckled, “Mr. Ren, it’s been a long time.”
Ren Chenfu chuckled softly, "Ha, you've finally woken up. You seem to be in a good mood, while I'm feeling utterly dejected and down on my luck."
"Mr. Ren is a man of noble character; why should he care about temporary gains or losses? He can always try again."
"Ha, that's only right. By the way, the Queen is also very concerned about you and specifically asked me to bring her greetings."
The reason why the evil queen Jiu Huo pays attention to Teng Xie Lang is because of the special identities of Teng Xie Lang and She Sheng Tong Zi—the two are Jiu Huo's sons in name only.
Back then, Jiu Huo married Yin Huang Xuan Ying, the king of the Ghost Clan. At that time, Yin Huang Xuan Ying's concubine, Bi Nu, gave birth to twins but died in childbirth. Jiu Huo then personally raised the two illegitimate sons.
But Teng Xie knew that this was all just talk; the truth was far more complicated and absurd than that.
However, that wasn't the focus at the moment. Teng Xie simply said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will pay my respects later. Mr. Ren, let's talk about the current situation. I heard that Ming Jian has entered the Demon Pool?"
The First Palace of the Demon Realm had six strategists, collectively known as the Six Prophets. Four of them, along with several second-tier generals, a dozen third-tier generals, and thousands of demon soldiers, were all annihilated by a single palm strike from Lian Emei of Pingshan who descended from the sky.
The remaining two prophets, one of whom, Mingjian, was too badly injured and lost all his powers, so he threw himself into the Demon Pool, sacrificing his physical body and spirit to obtain a major prophecy concerning the future of the Demon Realm.
"Exactly."
Upon hearing this, Ren Chenfu's expression turned solemn. "Ming Jian sacrificed himself to let the Demon Realm know that Kuanglong Yishengxiao is the key to the future. The Demon Lord has decided to personally go to the Pit of Sin to have a talk with Kuanglong Yishengxiao."
The Otherworld is an outside villain, but the Bitter Realm is not lacking in local villains. The Pit of Sin is the biggest local villain on the scene right now. This place is somewhat similar to the Valley of Villains in "The Legendary Twins". All of its members are villains who are not tolerated by the martial arts world. Its leader, Mad Dragon Laughs, is the most vicious and ruthless one.
"...Also, the Lian Emei sect in Pingshan has issued a challenge, and will await the Demon Lord's arrival in Pingshan in three days. It will surely be an earth-shattering battle."
Teng Xie nodded upon hearing this. The battle between Lian Emei and Yanmo Hanba was indeed worthy of the word "earth-shattering," allowing him to truly understand what the concept of top-tier martial arts in this world really meant.
after.
When Teng Xielang returned to the Demon Palace, Shesheng Tongzi had already revived two of his former subordinates: one named Mo Ci'er, whose body was covered in golden needles, and the other named Pan Xiong, whose face was covered in scars with flesh torn open.
"All of you, listen to my command! Follow me to Ping Mountain. I will be practicing Emei martial arts later!"
Rather than caring about the condition of his subordinates, Yama Hanba is more eager to fight against peerless experts. Profoundness is only a necessary condition for a king, while domineering, ferocious, and thirsting for the ultimate battle is the true nature of a demon lord!
"Demon Lord."
Everyone bowed in greeting, but Teng Xielang suddenly spoke up, "This subordinate has a somewhat immature and shallow opinion; may I dare to speak it?"
"Um?"
Although Yama Hanba was burning with fighting spirit, he did not abandon the necessity of being a king and said in a deep voice, "Tengxie, what are your thoughts? Speak plainly."
"Previously, the Demon Lord used the Black Mist Dragon to seal off Wansheng Rock, preventing it from supporting the righteous path. Now that Emei is fighting the Demon Lord, our army is advancing towards Pingshan. The righteous path will surely take this opportunity to try and break the Black Mist Dragon. Rather than letting them break it, we should retrieve it in advance and use it for other purposes later."
"Um……"
After pondering for a moment, Yama Hanba said in a deep voice, "Two questions. First, how can the Demon Realm determine the right time to recall the Black Mist Demon Dragon before the righteous path defeats it?"
Secondly, the Black Mist Demon Dragon is a ferocious dragon soul refined using the Desolate God Pearl. Ordinary methods cannot suppress the dragon soul; only the Desolate God Pearl can contain it. Therefore, I cannot use the Desolate God Pearl for any other purpose while fighting Lian Emei.
The Desolate God Pearl is the weapon of Yama Hanba, the core component of the longsword "Yama Desolate God Slash". Without the component, the power of the divine weapon is reduced by more than half. If it is against other enemies, Yama Hanba will not care, but when practicing Emei, Yama Hanba must go all out.
Upon hearing this, Teng Xie calmly replied, "Demon Lord, I can attempt to retrieve the Black Mist Demon Dragon on my own, without the need for support from the Demon Realm. This way, we can also see if my guess is correct and what methods the righteous path has prepared to combat demons."
"Hmm... The soul of the demonic dragon is extremely ferocious. Are you confident, Teng Xie? I am happy to see my subordinates challenge themselves, but I am not happy to see recklessness and bravado."
"Demon Lord, the Black Mist Dragon has been refined and is now bound by magic. If it is only its elemental spirit that is fierce, I am confident that my will will not be swayed."
Teng Xie spoke without hesitation, and he was indeed confident that, in terms of physical foundation, he had only just begun to catch up with She Sheng Tong Zi.
But in terms of mental fortitude, having awakened his sixth sense, he has entered a different realm.
"Of course, the specific situation needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis," Teng Xie added. "However, I will act according to my capabilities. If the dragon soul is too ferocious, I will retreat."
"Um."
Yama Hanba nodded. He could sense that Teng Xielang had undergone some indescribable changes, but he didn't know exactly where the changes were. Since the other party was confident, he could take this opportunity to find out.
"Granted. Tengxie, you go and explore Wansheng Rock. Moci'er and Panxiong will be led by Shesheng for the time being. All the generals will follow me to Pingshan!"
after.
Wanshengyan.
Once the highest place of Buddhist practice, it is now devoid of its sacred glory and is instead shrouded in demonic energy. The entire Wansheng Rock is surrounded by a huge black demonic dragon, and from a distance, it looks like a demon city.
Atop a mountain ten miles away from Wansheng Rock, a beam of light shot forth, transforming into a magnificent, majestic, and profoundly powerful figure.
He is another influential figure in the martial arts world today, the leader of the Yi Liu Sect, Bei Chen Yuan Huang.
This cult leader's experience was also quite bizarre. He was originally the king of the Beiyu Dynasty. Later, an ambitious person plotted to overthrow the dynasty, but he did not fall into despair. Instead, he rose again and still stood at the top of the martial arts world.
He was able to become the leader of the Yi Liu Sect thanks to the help of Mu Shaoai, a pharmacist from the righteous path of the Central Plains. The Yi Liu Sect is an evil organization that is good at using Gu poison. The original leader, Nangong Shenyi, had a deep hatred for the Central Plains, so Mu Shaoai devised a plan to replace him with Beichen Yuanhuang.
This time, Bei Chen Yuan Huang has come to repay a favor to the righteous path. At the request of the righteous path, he has come here to use the Demon-Slaying Arrow to destroy the Black Mist Demon Dragon and unseal the Myriad Saints Rock.
