60. The Evil Leader Visits
Su Huanzhen asked curiously, "But what exactly is it that caught the War Commander's eye?"
Teng Xiewu appeared indifferent, saying, "It's nothing, just the power to shake the heavens."
"Huh? This..."
Su Huanzhen wore a strange expression. "May I ask, General, were the Five Divine Artifacts a secret scheme devised by the Demon Realm many years ago?"
"Su Xianren, I give this joke a perfect score, I'm not afraid you'll get arrogant."
"...Ha, I was just being sarcastic. But the War General is truly destined for divine artifacts."
"Hey, what you said is exactly the same as what my War God said. Well then, I'll reply to you with the exact same words: even if we're destined to be together, it's a karmic entanglement."
"Sage Su, I sent Lingwei over without intending to hide it from you. However, the current priority is the whereabouts of the other divine artifacts and the Wolong Journey. Is what I said acceptable?"
Su Huanzhen nodded. "Don't worry, General Zhan. I've already had Qu Shitu escort Ling Wei home. No one else will know for now. You've gained another treasure... By the way, did your previous suggestion work? It seems you find the Glazed Wonderland acceptable?"
"Ha, ha, ha, forget it. That place is bombed all the time. Master Muni bombed it, then the Geomancer's Office, then the Demon Lord turned into a demon. Su Huanzhen, you should find a master to look at the feng shui when you have time. I'll politely decline. Um, someone's urging me, so I'll take my leave now. Please."
After Tengxie finished speaking, a spatial fluctuation occurred around him, and then his figure disappeared.
Su Huanzhen couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that the power to shake the heavens is similar to the Key of Creation, and it doesn't have much of an effect on thinking. So the Protection of the Unfathomable and the Journey to the Heavens should be the same. Hmm..."
Another world of demons.
The devil's palace.
When Tengxie arrived, he saw three strangely shaped people... who could barely be considered human, already waiting there.
The leader of the three wore a black sacrificial robe with strange runes, had six arms, four of which held a crown, and his face was covered by a veil.
The one on his left is a fly-man with a fly's head, and the one on his right is a spider-man with a spider on his face. In short, neither of them looks human.
"The supreme leader of the Bloodthirsty Evils, the Heavenly Silkworm Devouring the Moonlit Night, has graced the Demon Realm with his presence; truly, this humble abode is honored."
Tengxie immediately recognized the newcomer's identity: he was a powerful dark creature native to the Bitter Realm, the Bloodthirsty Evil.
In the Bitter Realm, there exists a long-lived humanoid species similar to vampires, called the Bloodthirsty Ones. Through various dark magic and forbidden experiments, they have created bloodthirsty monsters.
Then, the Bloodthirsty Evil rebelled against the Heavenly Gang, betrayed the Bloodthirsty Ones, and became their greatest enemy.
The Bloodthirsty Evil is similar to a bloodthirsty person; it is also immortal and is not afraid of sunlight or silverware.
Furthermore, through more dark magic and forbidden experiments, Ye Chongsheng enabled the Bloodthirsty Evil to evolve, greatly increasing its strength.
One of the key elements to its evolution is called "Filthy Thorn," which is unique to the Otherworld. Back then, Devouring Buddha Child used Filthy Thorn as a condition to exchange for Night Rebirth's help in unsealing the Demon Realm.
While greeting him, Teng Xie sensed the Heavenly Silkworm Eroding the Moon - Night Rebirth. In his perception, Night Rebirth could not be considered a "human" at all, but at most a "human form." It was a mass of constantly flowing liquid, or mercury, containing astonishing dark power.
Its foundation is no less than the laughter of the Mad Dragon... Teng Xie suddenly realized that perhaps the first time was really the most memorable, and the Mad Dragon had become the benchmark for comparison in his eyes.
"You're too kind, General Zhan."
Before Teng Xie could finish his thought, Ye Chongsheng spoke in a deep voice: "I apologize for my intrusion in visiting you, General."
This is the name of a person, the shadow of a tree... Teng Xie sighed inwardly. He had just keenly noticed the surprise that Ye Chongsheng unconsciously showed when he first saw him. The other party was obviously surprised that the leader of the Otherworld Demon Realm was so young.
However, given the impressive records of Kuanglong Yisheng and Lin Wushuang, Ye Chongsheng cannot be underestimated; he must pay even more attention. The younger he is, the more problems he has, and the more formidable he becomes.
"You flatter me, Master Xie. But, Master Xie, is there something important that you have come to visit so suddenly?"
Ye Chongsheng didn't mince words and stated his purpose directly: "I've heard that the War General has obtained the Key to Creation, which has miraculous healing effects. I wonder if I could have a look at this wondrous treasure?"
"sure."
Tengxie took out the Key of Creation and injected a wisp of demonic energy into the crystal pendant. Instantly, a seven-colored stream of light shone on Ye Chongsheng's palm.
"Um……"
Ye Chongsheng carefully sensed the peculiar energy and discovered its amazing properties of activating and stimulating the growth of flesh and blood.
After a moment, Teng Xie retrieved the Key of Creation, and Ye Chongsheng said, "This thing is indeed wondrous. General, may I borrow it for a while to study it? I can share my findings with you."
"No problem. As long as the Evil Chief lends me the methods for creating and evolving the Bloodthirsty Evil, the corresponding materials, and the Demon-Slaying Silver Spear that once killed the Bloodthirsty King Simon for a period of time, the Key of Creation will be lent to the Evil Chief."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chongsheng's voice deepened, "General Zhan is joking."
"Huh? Wasn't the Evil Leader here specifically to tease me? Oh dear, I misunderstood, sorry, sorry."
"Please feel free to make any requests, but if you are still asking for an exorbitant amount, it will inevitably damage the relationship between the two sides."
"I thought that since the Evil Chief rejected the Demon Lord's cooperation proposal last time, the two sides had become quite estranged?"
"I simply had other very important matters to attend to and was unable to leave."
"Alright, let me think... Speaking of which, the Evil Chief is well-informed; he should already know that I traded the Sharp Senses to Pope Shadowflow, right?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a request."
"So, the Evil Chief must also know that I truly caused the Pope some pain? Was the Evil Chief prepared for this?"
"I have no intention of possessing the divine artifact; I merely wish to utilize its power to conduct some experiments. Compared to Yi Liu, I value my friendship with the Demon Realm far more."
"Yes, yes, yes, I value the friendship of the Evil Leader very much... Hmm, how about this, Evil Leader, take me to the City of the Underworld for a visit, so I can broaden my horizons, okay?"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh... Ye Chongsheng suddenly heard the sound of a knife being sharpened in his ear.
He wanted to be more assertive, but the other party was clearly beyond his control. He also really wanted to study the Key of Creation to see if it could help the Bloodstained Evil continue to evolve.
"Hmm...then please follow me, General."
"Thank you... Shesheng, go to the Pit of Sin and bring back Tunfo. He hasn't caught up with the Evil Leader in a long time."
Not long after, Tunfo Tongzi returned, and Tengxie brought Daowen with him. Then they followed Ye Chongsheng to his lair, the City of the Underworld.
The core of the City of the Underworld is called the Dark Space, a pitch-black, boundless, and peculiar space where no one knows what lies hidden within its darkness.
The only light here comes from a pentagonal pool in the very center, filled with strange, shimmering liquid metal. Beside the pool stands a gaunt, burly man wielding a grappling hook.
