The tall man holding the cub was Mo Xiong, who went out to spread the news earlier. Using the flying sword given by Mo Tianliao, his speed was very fast. He stopped by the Sect first to inform that he was safe, before returning to the Mo Palace.
“Wow–” While the little wolf cub in his arms looked around excitedly, his face still looked serious.
In the hall, Mo Tianliao was examining the cat’s body.
“Did she touch you? I’m telling you, there’s poison in those nails.” Mo Tianliao said with half-truth and half-lie, touching Qingtong’s body with both hands.
“Stop!” Qingtong patted away the wandering hands taking advantage of him and moved away to the side.
“I don’t believe it. Show me.” Mo Tianliao said as he put his hand into the snow-colored skirt.
“Well…” Qingtong was already annoyed and stretched out five claws.
“Ouuuchhh!” A scream shook the birds on the eaves.
You could not fly inside the Duantian Mo Palace, but there were flying birds. They were birds that could not fly out of the enchantment of the mountain protection array and were used for the cat to catch and play.
The big tiger finally got some free time and was resting on his stomach on the steps outside the hall. When he heard the screams, he hugged his head with his paws without opening his eyes and fell asleep. Because he had the token to pass all the arrays, people came to him if they didn’t understand something, as he had read all the previous years’ account books. After reaching the Golden Core Stage, a cultivator’s memory was very good. Once he read through it, he basically remembered the difference, so he could answer whatever the next person asked.
When Mo Tianliao came back from seclusion, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Mo Tianliao also started to ask him if he had something to do.
“Da Shixiong, where’s the person who pours tea in the hall?”
“Da Shixiong, let them bake two of them.”
“Da Shixiong, let someone make new clothes for Master.”
“Da Shixiong…”
The elder martial brother became the Chief Manager of the Mo Palace without his own consent. The big tiger was very depressed. When he was in Woqing Cave, he hoped to have a younger martial brother to help him manage the daily common affairs. In just a short span of two years, the younger martial brother became a Demon Venerable, and he could no longer command him. Instead, his Shidi began to command him.
Looking at his Master’s appearance, he planned to live here often, so he naturally had to follow Master around. He felt hopeless just thinking about it.
“Fatty, why do you sleep here?” Mo Xiong came up to see the big tiger sleeping in the fork of the corridor and asked him in a baffled tone of voice.
The wolf cub twisted his head, jumped down, and sniffed to confirm if the tiger was dead or not. When he found out he was not dead, he opened his mouth and bit his tail.
“Roarrr!! -” The tiger jumped and roared at the cub.
The wolf cub pursed his ears and shouted at him unabashedly: “Woooo –“
“What is with all the noise??” The cool and melodious voice came from the hall, and all three guys shut up.
……….
The news that the Demon Lord Duantian killed the Hundred Rumor Pavilion’s steward, was quickly reported back to Demon Lord Chi Xiang, in which he was really surprised.
That steward was a very important person in the Hundred Rumors Pavilion. He used to be a person whom Duantian trusted very much. He oversaw a lot of work for him. The reason why he sent that person was that he was sure that Duantian would think fondly about old feelings, and he would not find out about the current news. Unexpectedly, Duantian would kill him without saying a word.
“That person is really a ruthless character.” Chi Xiang frowned, and the gorgeous waiter by his side added wine to his cup.
The Chief Manager of Hundred Rumors Pavilion who stood below lowered his head and said nothing. In terms of hypocrisy, he followed Duantian ever since the establishment of Hundred Rumors Pavilion. He has commanded the Pavilion for many years, and was simply named Baiwen by Demon Lord Duantian. But Chi Xiang thought he had nothing to do with Duantian, after all, when Duantian died that year, he immediately took refuge with a new master.
Baiwen sneered in his heart, what “remembering the old feelings”?! Chi Xiang was still too naive, and with such tender thoughts he still wanted to be the leader of the Supreme Demon Dao Conference. He can just keep dreaming. All immortal cultivators, whether pursuing the Righteous Path or Demon Path, were focused on attaining Taoism and becoming immortal. All of them do things for their own benefits and not for sentiments.
After Chi Xiang finished his temper tantrum, the Chief Manager slowly said: “Demon Venerable Feng Su came out of the Duantian Mo Palace and sent someone to the Righteous Path, the subordinates are already watching.”
“Okay,” Chi Xiang replied, pulling the waiter beside him into his arms and teasing him. He didn’t care about Feng Su’s whereabouts, but asked about another thing, “Are there any news about the shape-shifting demon beast from last time?”
Chi Xiang’s demon beast died at the last Supreme Demon Dao Conference, and he had not been able to find a suitable one for many years. He was already in the stage of Half-Immortal. If he made a blood contract with a newly enlightened demon beast, his strength would have been affected. He didn’t have the patience to teach it slowly. It was better to find a demon beast that was already at the shape-shifting stage.
“The fox was taken away by the Demon Slayer Shi Di at that time. Supreme Demon Venerable Ming Yan went to his Demon Palace once, but then the demon beast disappeared. The other one was bought by the Liuyun Sect of the Righteous Path. Later, during the Three Sects Conference, the two Half-Immortals of the Woyun Sect and the Liuyun Sect fought. They shattered the enchantment, and it ran away. They have not been found yet.” Baiwen said the news unhurriedly. His words did not fluctuate, and it sounded as if he was reading a note, but it gave a very reliable feeling when it was heard.
“Trash!” Chi Xiang threw the cup in his hand to the ground, “The Supreme Demon Dao Conference is only two months away, and Duantian will definitely come back to find fault when that time comes. What should I do if I don’t have a demonic pet?”
“Venerable Duantian also has no demonic pets.” Baiwen picked up the cup blankly. Demon Venerable Duantian raised a kitten, and he did not sign a blood contract with it, but he was still considered as an Elder. This matter was known to the entire demon world.
“Can I compare with him?” Chi Xiang got angrier and angrier. The man was obsessed with the Dao of refining weapons. His Dao was special. He had very few inner demons. In addition, he had a set of spiritual weapons that could soothe the inner demons.
The waiter in his arms was strangled and in pain, but he didn’t dare to say anything, and could only shed tears in silence.
“Why are you crying? You’re really disappointing!” Chi Xiang put aside the waiter in his arms and took a sip of wine.
Baiwen remained silent, he waited for Chi Xiang to finish his tirade, and then slowly said: “Venerable, please relieve your anger. It is not impossible to get shape-shifting demon beasts. This subordinate knows of two places that have them.”
“Oh?” Chi Xiang’s eyes lit up.
“The first place is in the Demon Palace of Venerable Ming Yang.” Baiwen paused, several Demon Lords knew about this. Venerable Ming Yang liked to collect powerful demon beasts, and his Demon Palace was indeed a good choice as there were many demon beasts without contracts, and everyone coveted them. It was said that the Supreme Venerable would reward them to those who looked pleasing to his eyes.
“Nonsense.” Chi Xiang snorted. He has been deliberately trying to please Ming Yang all these years for the legendary shape-shifting demon beasts in his care. If it weren’t for the unfathomable power of Ming Yang, he would have already grabbed it.
“This second place is known from a subordinate,” Baiwen lowered his voice, “Woyun Sect.”
………..
Qingtong frowned slightly, looking at the little wolf cub who was now squatting on his feet and wagging his tail.
“Master had asked me to take Langzi away. If Xiao Shishu is inconvenient here, I will send him to Shizu.” Mo Xiong scratched his head.
Langzi had just reached the stage where he could shape-shift into a human, and his figure had already stabilized. Moreover, Sect Leader Tianlang had already admitted in front of everyone that he is a demon beast. What else could he do to avoid the limelight?
“What’s the matter?” Mo Tianliao came over with a plate of grilled fish. Seeing that Qingtong’s expression was not right, he asked immediately.
“There must be something wrong with Woyun Sect.” Qingtong stroked the wolf cub’s head.
The little wolf cub transformed into a cold-faced teenager: “I don’t know what is happening these days. There are always people coming to visit the sect and not everyone has good intentions. My father wanted the four seniors to take me away.”
There are always people coming to visit… Hearing this sentence, Mo Tianliao’s heart chuckled. It was inevitable that the big sects are often visited by people, but even Langzi could tell that meant the frequency must be very abnormal, and for the special sect of Woyun Sect, it meant danger.
“The people of Qingyun Sect came to look for trouble before, saying that Senior Brother Mo is the Demon Venerable Duantian, and asked Woyun Sect to give an explanation, but they were all blocked back by Father, but this time I don’t know why they came again.” Langzi said blankly.
Qingtong was silent for a moment, and slowly said, “Mo Xiong, send Langzi to my Master, and Meng Hu will come back to Woyun Sect with me.”
“Yes.” The three of them all agreed, none of them dared to object.
“I’ll go with you too.” Mo Tianliao squeezed a piece of deboned fish and handed it to Qingtong’s mouth.
“No, not this time.” Qingtong shook his head, looked at the white and tender fish in front of him, and slowly opened his mouth to eat.
Mo Tianliao’s power has not yet recovered fully, but his identity was already known to everyone. It was very dangerous to go out. Besides, the Supreme Demon Dao Conference was approaching, so there must be no delay.
“How can I be rest assured when you go alone? Besides, I am also a disciple of Woyun Sect. Since the sect is in trouble, I should do my part.” Mo Tianliao said with a smile. Counting the days, going to the Woyun Sect and rushing back for the Supreme Demon Dao Conference… there should be enough time.
Before they left, Mo Tianliao took the “betrothal gift” array, and went to the palace “garbage dump” to pick a lot of treasures. He also brought a sufficient number of cold spring fish, and set off on the Crystal Palace.
As they were rushing day and night to reach the Woyun Sect, the sect was being surrounded by a group of demonic cultivators.
“I heard that Woyun Sect has many shape-shifting demon beasts that don’t have contracts. The Demon Lord Chi Xiang wants to buy one. The Sovereign Master will quote a price.” The leader of the demonic cultivators was very arrogant.
Tianlang touched his beard and said, “Little friend, you are funny. There are only two shape-shifting demon beasts of Woyun Sect. One is my younger brother’s spiritual pet and the other is mine. I don’t know where this little friend has heard of the other shape-shifting demon beasts?”
“Oh, Tianlang, this is your fault.” I wonder if it was intentional or unintentional, Yun Song also visited Woyun Sect at this time. “You told us the method of raising demon beasts. In this way, there should be a lot of powerful demonic beasts in this mountain. The Demon Lord Chi Xiang has two immortal cities that he is willing to exchange for one demon beast. This is an unprecedented high price. With this money, it is enough for you to raise two more demon beasts to be enlightened.”
“Woyun Sect doesn’t lack those two immortal cities.” Tianlang lowered his face, staring at Yun Song’s malicious face, and wanted to bite his head off.
However, as a decent sect, Tianlang could not kill indiscriminately just because he was unhappy. What’s more, there were many demonic cultivators, and Yun Song, with unknown purposes was here to disrupt the situation. Once the fight started, no one would know which demon cultivator would take the opportunity to run wild. It would be a bad thing to encounter any demon beast disciples.
Just when Tianlang couldn’t bear it anymore, a black streamer came through the air. Before everyone could react, the tortoise-shell arrow penetrated the leader of the demonic cultivator’s chest. Immediately, there was a deep laughter from the sky: “Mere two immortal cities? How about swapping the head of Chi Xiang for one?”
