696 Petty Pixiu, Sun Chuang's Intuition (1)
Boom!
Somewhere in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, there was a loud bang, and a figure rushed out of the collapsed hill in a sorry state. It was 'Yao Wudi'!
Yao Wudi held a saber that was almost ten feet long in his hand and rushed in front of Pixiu.
"Lord Pixiu, fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. I brought it out!" Yao Wudi said loudly.
!!
At this moment, Yao Qing and the other demonic beasts ran out of the collapsed hill behind them in a sorry state.
This was already the fifth forbidden area they had explored.
Previously, they had successfully found some divine weapons and heaven and earth treasures from the first few forbidden areas.
This process was naturally fraught with danger.
There were powerful demonic beasts attacking, unknown array formations, and all sorts of mechanisms and traps.
There were more than a hundred candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, but only about seventy were left. Half of them had died. From this, it was evident how dangerous it was.
This was also why Pixiu, Demon King Ao, and the others would take action every time. Otherwise, the casualties of the candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm would only be greater.
For a few times in a row, 'Yao Wudi' would risk being injured to snatch the treasures left behind by the Demon Ancestor and deliver them to Pixiu.
Even Yao Qing couldn't help cursing that 'Yao Wudi' was a sycophant in his head.
"Very good. I'll give you another credit!" Pixiu took the saber from Yao Wudi and waved it twice with joyful expression before casually putting it into his grotto-heaven.
Pixiu was a genuine Demon King expert. Zhou Shu didn't know if his grotto-heaven could store living things, but it definitely wouldn't have a problem storing dead things.
As he watched Pixiu put the item into the grotto-heaven, Zhou Shu pondered. How can I get the things out of someone's grotto-heaven?
A grotto-heaven wasn't a Cosmic Bangle. If the owner of a grotto-heaven was killed, unless it was a grotto-heaven that had already become an independent small world, a small grotto-heaven would immediately collapse, and the things inside would naturally disappear.
Pixiu was definitely not comparable to Shi Changsheng at his peak. It was impossible for his grotto-heaven to be as perfect as the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain and the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven. If he was killed, his grotto-heaven would most likely collapse.
This bastard Pixie talks about giving me credit, but he hasn't even given me any benefits. He even thinks that he'll suffer a loss by making verbal promises. It's a good thing his personality is like this. He must have collected a lot of good things. If I can snatch his grotto-heaven…
A gleam flashed in Zhou Shu's eyes.
In the past five times, Zhou Shu had successfully replaced the treasures left behind by the Demon Ancestor with the ones he had casually forged.
In any case, even Pixiu didn't know what demons hid in the grotto-heavens of the Demon Realm.
But Zhou Shu had paid a considerable price to deceive Pixiu. It was impossible to deceive Pixiu with something too ordinary.
Zhou Shu thought that he had to find an opportunity to get out everything in Pixiu's grotto-heaven. The enemy's treasures were all his military supplies. He couldn't leave a single thing for him!
Demon King Ao leaned over to Pixiu and asked softly, "Lord Pixiu, is it this saber?"
Pixiu shook his head. "No, let's continue."
He pointed out another location and instructed the demonic beasts to move.
"Lord Pixiu…" Tiangou couldn't help speaking. "We've already searched five places. Half of the candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm have died, and we've also found a few powerful divine weapons. Didn't you say that you don't know what the Demon Ancestor's peerless divine weapon is? How can you be sure that the divine weapons we found previously are not the Demon Ancestor's peerless divine weapon?"
He really couldn't stand it anymore. The candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm were all pillars of the younger generation of the Demon Realm. If they all died, there would be a shortfall in the experts of the Demon Realm, and it would greatly affect the rule of the Demon Kings.
"Of course I know," Pixiu said matter-of-factly. "Do you know what a peerless divine weapon is? You're naive and have too little knowledge. A peerless divine weapon is the kind that you will know when you see it. There's nothing in the world that can compare to it…"
Pixiu looked intoxicated, as if he had already seen a peerless divine weapon. The expression on his face was like a pervert seeing a peerless beauty.
It was so wretched that Zhou Shu wanted to punch him in the face.
Peerless divine weapon… Zhou Shu was also thinking. Shi Changsheng said that the Heavenly Hub Armory of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was a nine-heaven divine weapon. The master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was invincible with it. The Demon Ancestor should be on the same level as the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. I just don't know if they're experts of the same generation.
However, the Demon Ancestor's peerless divine weapon shouldn't be much inferior to the Heavenly Hub Armory. Is it a nine-heaven divine weapon or an eight-heaven divine weapon?
What Pixiu said about knowing at a glance and that it was a peerless divine weapon was just a subjective statement.
But if it was really a divine weapon of that level, experts would naturally be able to recognize it.
The few weapons that Zhou Shu had found before were not divine weapons of that level.
If I really find that peerless divine weapon, I won't be able to fool Pixiu. If it can't be found, I wonder if Pixiu will give up, Zhou Shu thought.
697 Petty Pixiu, Sun Chuang's Intuition (2)
Tiangou said, "Lord Pixiu, what if the peerless divine weapon you mentioned isn't in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court? What if the Demon Ancestor hid it in the Demon Ancestor's secret chamber? What if the Demon Ancestor carried it with her back then?"
"Of course it's in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. If it isn't here, why would I take such a huge risk to come here?" Pixiu said matter-of-factly. "I'm certain that the Demon Ancestor's peerless divine weapon is in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court!
"You don't have to doubt whether it's here or not. If you have time to doubt this, why don't you think about how to find it?!"
Demon King Ao, Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings had ugly expressions on their faces. They also wanted to find the peerless divine weapon as soon as possible. Otherwise, all the candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm would die.
But they didn't even know what the peerless divine weapon looked like, and Pixiu had always been vague about it. How could they find it?
'Yao Wudi', who had many 'battle achievements', suddenly raised his hand and said weakly, "Um… Lord Pixiu, I wonder if I can say something?"
"Say it." Pixiu had a good impression of this Great Demon who had helped him find treasures several times.
"I once caught a human forger, so I heard something." Zhou Shu first laid the groundwork before continuing, "I heard that some powerful divine weapons also have their own grotto-heavens. Could it be that the Demon Realm Ancestral Court we're in is the peerless divine weapon of the Demon Ancestor?"
"Oh?" Pixiu looked at Yao Wudi in surprise. "I didn't expect you to know this."
"But let me tell you, it's not." Pixiu shook his head. "This Demon Realm Ancestral Court is definitely not the peerless divine weapon of the Demon Ancestor. Your cultivation is too weak, so I can't explain it clearly to you."
Pixiu said loudly, "Alright, you've asked enough questions and rested enough. Hurry up! As long as you can find the Demon Ancestor's peerless divine weapon, I'll give you a handsome reward!"
Hearing this, all the demonic beasts secretly rolled their eyes.
Ever since Pixiu appeared, he had ordered all the demonic beasts around like cows and horses. He hadn't given them any benefits at all. If he was going to give a handsome reward, he should give some benefits first.
If not for the fact that their cultivation levels were inferior to his, the demonic beasts would have long attacked him together. They would let Pixiu know that demonic beasts couldn't be underestimated!
The Demon Realm Ancestral Court was gigantic, and there were countless dangerous places inside.
Pixiu clearly had information that the Demon Kings didn't know, so the places he chose were very specific.
Soon, they arrived at the next place Pixiu pointed out.
Pixiu and the other Demon Kings waited outside, while Zhou Shu and the other candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm acted as cannon fodder.
This place was a huge lake with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
The lake water was clear and bottomless. The surface of the lake was enshrouded in faint clouds, and it looked like Yunmeng Lake1.
The demonic beasts jumped into the lake and swam toward the center of the lake for a long time. They turned around and looked at Pixiu in the sky.
A demonic beast whispered, "Everyone, it's getting more and more dangerous. Shouldn't we think of a way? If this continues, I'm afraid we'll all die!"
"What can we do? Resist? Not to mention Lord Pixiu, even the Demon Kings can easily kill us," another demonic beast said in despair.
Earlier, they had searched either forests or caves. But how could they search this lake that was hundreds of kilometers wide?
All the demonic beasts were in despair.
"Yao Qing, your father is a forger. Lord Pixiu is looking for a peerless divine weapon. Is there anything you can do?" 'Yao Wud' suddenly said.
The gazes of the demonic beasts instantly landed on Yao Qing.
Yao Buqi had a strange look in his eyes. He took a few steps closer to 'Yao Wudi'.
He was 90% sure that this 'Yao Wudi' was definitely fake!
Although there was no Demon Mirror to verify it, Yao Buqi was very sure of his judgment.
If this 'Yao Wudi' wasn't fake, he would eat poop!
Now, Yao Buqi was relieved. He was not as worried as the other demonic beasts.
What danger could there be with this great expert around?
This person was a big shot who could lead the Ten Nations Alliance to fight his way out of an army of a million demonic beasts and then do well in the Demon Realm.
Even so many Demon Kings couldn't do anything to him, so what could take his life?
Yao Qing snorted and said angrily, "My father is a forger, but I'm not. What can I do?"
He had always treated Yao Wudi as an imaginary enemy, so his tone was naturally unkind.
'Yao Wudi' rubbed his chin. "That shouldn't be the case. Although you're not a forger, you've definitely come into contact with more human weapons than us since you were young. I've heard humans say that weapons can sense each other. Especially powerful weapons, they can sense each other's existence.
"For example, if we powerful demonic beasts approach equally powerful demonic beasts, we will sense it.
"Yao Qing, do you have any powerful weapons on you? I think we can give it a try."
Yao Qing snorted. It was not a glorious thing for demonic beasts to carry human weapons with them.
Seeing that Yao Qing was silent, 'Yao Wudi' wasn't angry and continued, "Or, Yao Qing, you can lead the way. We'll go wherever you say."
"What kind of logic is that?" Yao Buqi asked cooperatively.
"It makes no sense. I trust Yao Qing's instincts," 'Yao Wudi' said.
Yao Qing couldn't help rolling his eyes. Am I very familiar with you, Yao Wudi? You believe me? What makes you believe me?
"I'm going in this direction. If you want to follow, come along."
With that, Yao Qing dove into the water.
'Yao Wudi' followed without hesitation.
Then Yao Buqi followed without hesitation.
Be it humans or demonic beasts, they all had the mentality of blindly following orders. The other demonic beasts hesitated for a moment before following.
As they continued to swim in the lake, Sun Chuang suddenly approached Yao Buqi and transmitted his voice. "Demon God…"
Yao Buqi looked back at him strangely. Ever since the Demon Mirror had captured his appearance as a wolf demon, Sun Chuang had been a little silent. Although he had been by his side for the past few days, he rarely spoke. Now that he suddenly spoke, he wondered what he wanted to say.
"What is it?"
Although Yao Buqi had often fought with Sun Chuang in the past, he now treated Sun Chuang as an ally.
"I feel like something ahead is calling to me," Sun Chuang said hesitantly.
"Mm?" Yao Buqi was stunned. He looked at Sun Chuang solemnly. "Are you sure?"
He knew Sun Chuang's background. Sun Chuang hadn't been a greenhorn in the human world. He wouldn't joke at a time like this.
"Yes!" Sun Chuang's expression was solemn. He was a little flustered.
He had clearly been sure that he was a human, but in the end, the Demon Mirror revealed that he was a wolf demon. Now, he had this inexplicable feeling. He recalled what the big shot who supported the development of the Demon God Sect had asked him to do on the Ten Nations Continent.
Could it be that what the big shot wanted him to find was here?
For some reason, Sun Chuang suddenly missed King Zhou and the little devil. If only the two of them were here…
His strength was not enough among this group of demonic beasts.
Yao Buqi's expression was a little strange. Sun Chuang feels that something is summoning him in front of him. Does Yao Qing feel the same way?
Both of them are human-demons.
In other words, what King Zhou said just now wasn't just a casual remark? Does he know what is in this lake that only human-demons can find?
698 Sealed Peerless Divine Weapon (1)
Yao Buqi's first reaction was to look at 'Yao Wudi' not far ahead.
If he had long known that there was something in this lake that only human-demons could find, did it mean that what Pixiu was looking for was here?
If the previous places were already so dangerous, would this place be even more dangerous?
Yao Buqi subconsciously sped up and approached 'Yao Wudi'.
!!
He had made up his mind that from now on, unless he was sure that he was safe, he would never leave more than ten feet from 'Yao Wudi'!
Sun Chuang chased after him and continued to transmit his voice. "Demon God, what do you think I should do?"
"Don't do anything!" Yao Buqi transmitted his voice. "Unless Yao Qing can't find that thing, don't say or do anything. Wait and see!"
Sun Chuang frowned, but he still nodded.
He had no intention of acting rashly. He didn't even know who he was now. Even if he sensed the summoning, he didn't think it was a good thing.
Sun Chuang was clearly just an ordinary human. If he hadn't accidentally obtained a gift from the Demon God, he wouldn't have grown all the way to become the master of the Demon God Sect.
Why should he be burdened with so many things?
Sun Chuang looked at Yao Buqi's back angrily. It's all because of this bastard Demon God. If I hadn't picked up the cultivation technique he threw down back then, I wouldn't have been involved in this!
But in that case, I would probably have gotten married and grown old like an ordinary person. How could I have become the master of the Demon God Sect and enjoy glory and wealth?
Even Sun Chuang himself didn't know which would be better.
While Sun Chuang was having mixed feelings, the demonic beasts had already dived all the way into the depths of the lake.
To Great Demons and first-rank demonic beasts, the pressure brought by the lake was not worth mentioning. Some demonic beasts with aquatic race bloodlines even transformed into their true forms and swam in the water comfortably.
At this moment, Yao Qing suddenly stopped.
A dazzling light suddenly erupted from his body. Almost at the same time, Sun Chuang's body also erupted with intense light.
All the demonic beasts were stunned. Before they could react, a powerful suction force suddenly came from the bottom of the lake.
Whoosh!
The suction force was very strange and had no effect on the lake water, but the demonic beasts were sucked down without any resistance.
The demonic beasts were shocked. All of them erupted with powerful auras and swam up crazily.
But the suction force was so great that even Great Demons couldn't break free.
All the demonic beasts, including Yao Qing and Sun Chuang, were sinking.
On the lake, waves surged as if a battle was taking place at the bottom of the lake.
The Demon Kings frowned.
Even they couldn't see the situation underwater now. Not knowing what was going on made them very depressed.
"Lord Pixiu, we—" Tiangou couldn't help speaking.
"If you're not afraid of death, you can go down," Pixiu said indifferently.
Tiangou was speechless.
He was worried that all the candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm would die, but he was more worried about his own life. Forget it. Let's wait and see.
The waves rolled for a quarter of an hour, then gradually calmed down.
Looking at the calm lake, the Demon Kings thought, What happened at the bottom of the lake? Did Yao Qing and the others win? Then, why haven't they come up yet?
If they lost…
All the Demon Kings looked at Pixiu. If Yao Qing and the others died below, would they still have to go down and check?
Pixiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the Demon Kings.
He pointed casually at two Demon Kings. "You two, go down and take a look."
"Us?" The two Demon Kings were stunned. Rejection was written clearly on their faces.
"If you go down, you might die. But if you don't, you'll die immediately. Choose," Pixiu said coldly as a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.
Pixiu's aura locked onto the two Demon Kings. They felt their hair stand on end, and a strong sense of crisis surged in their hearts.
They looked at Tiangou, He Yuan, and the others for help.
But Tiangou and He Yuan turned their heads away with ugly expressions.
They couldn't afford to offend Pixiu. His cultivation level was too high, and his origin was mysterious.
Besides, even if they wanted to help, there was nothing they could do.
Demon King Ao was clearly Pixiu's lackey. Even if the remaining nine Demon Kings joined forces, they were not a match for Pixiu and Demon King Ao.
When the two Demon Kings saw the reactions of Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings, their hearts sank.
"Haha…" One of the Demon Kings chuckled. Without a word, he leaped down into the lake without looking back.
The other chosen Demon King glanced at Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings. "It's us this time. Next time, it'll be you."
With that, he also jumped into the lake.
Pixiu didn't care about their reactions at all. They were just two low-level Demon Kings. It was their honor to be his cannon fodder!
Pixiu stood in the air with his hands behind his back, staring unblinkingly at the lake. He was also a little nervous. Is this the place? Am I finally going to find it?
This place was definitely not an ordinary place to be able to make dozens of demonic beasts instantly disappear. If these Demon Kings couldn't stop it, then there was a high chance that he had found the right place!
699 Sealed Peerless Divine Weapon (2)
For a while, Pixiu was anxious.
Boom!
Suddenly, the lake exploded, and two figures shot into the sky from under the water.
They were the two Demon Kings who had dived into the water not long ago.
"There's nothing in the water, not even a fish," a Demon King said. "Yao Qing and the others have disappeared."
"Disappeared?" The Demon Kings were surprised.
"How can you two come back alive when they're gone?" Pixiu said coldly.
The two Demon Kings' faces darkened. What do you mean? Is it our fault that the two of us came back alive?
The two Demon Kings endured the anger in their hearts and said in a low voice, "Lord Pixiu, we didn't find anything down there. There are no enemies, so there's nothing we can do.
"Why don't you go down and check personally, Lord Pixiu? There's really nothing we can do."
"All of you, get down!" Pixiu pointed at Tiangou, He Yuan, and the others.
The expressions of Tiangou, He Yuan, and the others froze.
The two Demon Kings who had just been chosen to enter the water sneered gloatingly. You bastards, you didn't say anything just now. Karma really comes quickly. Isn't it your turn now?
"Hurry up. Don't waste my time!" Pixiu said coldly.
Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings had ugly expressions. However, they hadn't resisted previously, and they didn't have the courage to resist now. They had no choice but to jump into the lake.
The lake with a radius of hundreds of kilometers was naturally incomparably wide for ordinary people, but it wasn't too difficult for Demon Kings to search it.
After more than two hours, the Demon Kings rushed out of the water and came from all directions.
"Lord Pixiu, we've searched the lake, but we didn't find Yao Qing and the others. We didn't encounter any enemies either," Tiangou said to Pixiu.
They were also a little puzzled about what had just happened. They had just personally searched the lake and indeed didn't encounter any danger.
Then, where did Yao Qing and the others go?
Escaped?
That was impossible.
They had been watching from above. The perception range of the Demon Kings could completely cover the entire lake. It was impossible for Yao Qing and the other demonic beasts to hide from them.
"Looks like we're in the right place." Pixiu's eyes lit up, and a fanatical expression appeared on his face. "Hmph, there's no treasure that can escape from me! I want to see how well you've hidden yourself!"
A dazzling light lit up on Pixiu's body, and then his body began to expand. In the light, his body expanded to a thousand feet.
Then he opened his mouth and sucked at the lake.
The lake water formed a water dragon and surged toward his mouth.
The scene was extremely shocking. All the Demon Kings were amazed.
Pixiu was really too strong!
It was a deep lake with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. How much water was there?
With a deep breath, the surface of the lake began to fall at a visible speed.
The Demon Kings were flabbergasted. How big was Pixiu's stomach? Wasn't he afraid of exploding?
Pixiu sucked for an hour. An hour later, the bottom of the lake was already visible, revealing the muddy lake bottom.
Pixiu patted his belly and burped. He looked down at the remaining thousand-foot-deep pit with some satisfaction.
"Let's see how you can hide now!" Pixiu said proudly.
"Search! Search every inch of the lake bottom carefully. I don't believe we can't find it!" Pixiu shouted.
Before he could finish speaking, Demon King Ao said, "Lord Pixiu, I think… there's no need to search."
He pointed at a place in the lake.
"Mm?" Pixiu nodded and looked at where Demon King Ao was pointing.
His eyes lit up even more.
"Little Jiao, I'll give you great merit!" Pixiu said excitedly. He would only remember merits and not rewards!
With a flash, Pixiu descended from the sky and landed directly in the middle of the lake.
In the mud at the bottom of the lake, there was a ten-foot-wide area. There was no mud here, but a pattern of Yin Yang fish.
Compared to the lake that was hundreds of kilometers wide, the ten-foot-wide area seemed very small.
If one didn't look carefully, they might not discover it.
The Demon Kings landed in front of the Yin Yang fish pattern with Pixiu, their faces filled with confusion.
"Lord Pixiu, is that the Demon Ancestor's peerless divine weapon?" a Demon King asked doubtfully. Didn't he say that people would feel that nothing could compare to it?
He didn't think this Yin Yang fish pattern was that powerful.
"What do you know! This is a smokescreen!" Pixiu said excitedly. "This is it. This is definitely it! It's just that it's still sealed. What we're seeing now isn't what it really looks like.
"I know where those demonic beasts went. They were taken in by this peerless divine weapon! The peerless divine weapon has a spirit. It's choosing its master!"
Pixiu narrowed his eyes. "Was there a human-demon among those demonic beasts just now?"
He looked at Demon King Ao and the other Demon Kings.
"Yes…" Demon King Ao didn't understand.
"Why didn't you say so?" Pixiu said angrily. "Can you bear the responsibility for ruining my plans?"
Demon King Ao's expression froze. You didn't ask.
Why would I think of reporting such a trivial matter to you?
Even if I told you, you might not have listened.
But he didn't dare say any of this.
"Lord Pixiu, you're right. I was wrong." Demon King Ao lowered his head.
"Lord, is there anything wrong with human-demons?" Demon King Ao took the opportunity to ask.
"Hmph, back then, the Demon Ancestor abandoned herself and fell in love with a human. She even gave birth to a child for the human! The peerless divine weapon she left behind can sense the bloodline of a human-demon."
Pixiu snorted coldly. "A human-demon might obtain the recognition of the peerless divine weapon!"
"Uhhh…" The Demon Kings were speechless. Only a human-demon can obtain the recognition of this peerless divine weapon? Then, why have you been working so hard? You're not a human-demon.
"What do you know?!" Pixiu noticed the gazes of the Demon Kings and snorted. "A human-demon can get close to the peerless divine weapon, but it doesn't mean that only a human-demon can obtain it. I have plenty of ways to make it submit!"
Before he finished speaking, Pixiu was already reaching out his palm and grabbing at the Yin Yang fish pattern.
Boom!
Just as Pixiu's palm touched the Yin Yang fish pattern, a powerful light suddenly erupted from it and blocked his palm.
Then the Yin Yang fish pattern shook violently, causing the entire ground to shake.
The Demon Kings looked surprised and flew into the sky to avoid the tremors on the ground.
Pixiu roared and pressed down with both hands, wanting to grab the Yin Yang fish pattern.
Boom!
The Yin Yang fish pattern emitted a black and white light. Like a millstone, it stirred and pressed against Pixiu's huge hand.
The two forces collided with an earth-shattering sound.
The Demon Kings were even more shocked. In their understanding, weapons were inanimate objects. This clearly uncontrolled weapon could actually compete with Pixiu.
Could it be that our understanding of weapons was too limited in the past?
Could it be that it's really as Lord Pixiu said, that we're ignorant and have too little knowledge?
It was as if a seed had been planted in the hearts of the Demon Kings. This seed had already begun to sprout. As for what it would grow into, it was still uncertain.
Boom!
With another loud bang, Pixiu actually retreated several kilometers.
As the Yin Yang fish pattern shone brightly, the black and white pattern actually shattered with a crack. Pieces peeled off, revealing the true appearance of a weapon!
