Shi Di looked at Mo Tianliao, then at the furry kitten in his arms, and he was overcome with anger. When Mo Tianliao came to his Demon Palace as a puppet, he made him buy so many materials and fooled him about a lot of things. The kid was not a puppet made from Duantian at all, but this old immortal himself!
“You live once again, and still have this cat with you.” There were only five Demon Venerables including the Supreme Demon Lord Ming Yan, the fifth Demon Venerable Xing Yao who had mostly been silent in the corner, saw Mo Tianliao, and suddenly could not help but speak.
Xing Yao was a sword maniac. He liked to collect all kinds of swords. He was also a loner but because Mo Tianliao could always make all kinds of strange swords to meet his requirements, among the several Demon Lords, he was the most familiar with Duantian.
“Why does it matter to you?” Mo Tianliao deliberately raised his chin.
“Cut the crap.” Xing Yao snorted coldly, and his demonic pet, a white crane he named Bai He, raised his head and also gave a scream, as if echoing his master’s words.
Xing Yao had a handsome face, but he was always expressionless, and his mouth was poisonous. He would always have fun prodding on people’s painful points. In the past, he often ridiculed Mo Tianliao’s cat for being too small and useless. Although it was true. Mo Xiaozhao was really useless, except for being so good-looking, so Mo Tianliao never took him to fight.
“Oh, the little baby is here, quickly give me a hug.” Feng Su stood up with a smile, and reached out to grab the cat, but Mo Tianliao avoided her.
The kitten jumped out of Mo Tianliao’s arms, jumped to Bai He’s side in twos and threes, slammed the crane, and bit the slender neck in one bite.
“Quack——” The white crane flew in fright, losing several feathers.
The peacock of Feng Su expressed disdain for the cat-baiting behavior of the white crane and held his head high. The big black lion’s eyes lit up and seemed to be inspired. He lowered his body, leaped up suddenly, and bit the peacock’s head in one bite.
“Come back!” The three Demon Lords simultaneously suppressed their demonic pets with their spiritual thoughts. The spiritual beasts were already considered obedient and immediately stopped. Only the kitten was still biting the bird’s neck unyieldingly.
“That’s enough, Baby,” Mo Tianliao walked over, reached out his hand to pick up the kitten, put it in his arms and sat down in his own position, and rinsed the kitten’s mouth with the tea, “Hey, spit out the bird’s hair. Don’t swallow it.”
There were usually just five seats. This time, Ming Yan has specially arranged for one more, so that everyone would not fight at the first meeting.
“Duantian, what about your little lover? Why didn’t you bring him?” Feng Su looked around, but she was disappointed that she didn’t see Qingtong’s figure.
Mo Tianliao glanced at her: “Do not have any ideas about him.”
Chi Xiang looked at the appearances of the several Demon Venerables who were very familiar with Duantian, and smashed the cup in his hand with a flick. He had been a Demon Venerable for three hundred years, and he has spent almost the same time with these people as Duantian, but why was his popularity so much lower than Duantian?
Soon, Chi Xiang understood.
Mo Tianliao saw Chi Xiang crushed the cup in his hands, and like an afterthought, he patted his own head: “Oh, I almost forgot, I brought some gifts.”
So he took out a brocade box from the storage bracelet, opened it, and put four crystal clear cups in the dark blue flannel. Mo Tianliao took out a blue one and gave it to Ming Yan first.
Ming Yan saw that there were only four in the box, but said nothing.
“Come on, you choose the remaining three.” Mo Tianliao placed the brocade box on the table casually and left it alone.
Shi Di, even with his huge body, ran over first, and grabbed the yellow one: “What kind of strange thing did you make again?”
“I made this with cold jade and cryolite. It happens to be summer now, and you can use it to refresh yourselves since none of you have ice spiritual roots. Pour the tea and wine in and shake it with your spiritual power.” Mo Tianliao explained briefly.
Feng Su was very curious. She picked up the cyan one, poured her own wine in and shook it. The amber wine instantly turned into amber ice crystals, and when it shook, the whole piece of ice crystals shattered into snowflakes. Since the weather was hot, taking a taste of the snowflakes in the cup immediately gave a refreshing feeling.
Xing Yao put away his white one and said “Thank you very much.”
Seeing that there were only four cups and he did not get one for himself, Chi Xiang’s expression became even more ugly. This Duantian must have done it deliberately to bully him in front of others.
“As the saying goes, ‘The mouth that eats the food of others is softened; the hand that takes the possessions of others is shortened‘. Would you now return the land that you robbed me off?” Mo Tianliao held a glass of wine and raised his hands to everyone.
Feng Su, who had just eaten a bite of ice ball, suddenly choked.
The Demon Venerables on the high platform were talking and laughing happily, and the battle below had already yielded results.
Becoming a Demon Venerable, with all the wealth and countless resources, everyone in the Demon Path wanted to be in that position. However, usually only people in the Half-immortal stage were qualified to compete, and they must first go through a few rounds of competition and get to the top three in the finals before choosing a Demon Venerable to challenge. If this Demon Venerable was defeated, then the position of this Demon Venerable, including all forces, would be owned by this new Demon Venerable.
At the time when Chi Xiang came into power, Mo Tianliao was dead, not defeated by him, so Mo Tianliao’s territories were evenly divided with the other Demon Venerables.
“From the Ten Thousand Ghost Sect, Kurong wants to challenge the Demon Venerable Chi Xiang.”
“Chen Fang, from the Sect of Ten Thousand Tribulations, wants to challenge Demon Venerable Feng Su.”
“Yang Cheng from Wanqi Sect wants to challenge Demon Venerable Xing Yao.”
The top three people chose their opponents in order. The weakest link was always exploited, so Chi Xiang was undoubtedly chosen first. Because you could bring demonic pets when fighting, Chi Xiang was naturally a soft persimmon as a person without a demonic pet.
In the past, Mo Tianliao didn’t bring any demonic pet on the field too, but no one wanted to challenge him because it was too difficult to fight with him. However, as a rich local tyrant, Shi Di had countless magic weapons. He looked like a stubborn mule, so very few people wanted to challenge him. As for Ming Yan…
The Supreme Demon Venerable cannot be challenged by someone who had not yet even become a Demon Venerable.
Chi Xiang went down to the battlefield, and Mo Tianliao narrowed his eyes slightly to watch him fight.
The big black lion who was obedient for a while, couldn’t help but look back at the kitten. Taking advantage of his master Shi Di busily watching the fight, he quietly crawled to Mo Tianliao’s table and put his head on the table: “The peacock’s tail is long again. Let’s scratch it.”
The kitten was sitting on the table licking its paws, and glanced at the lion after hearing this. Childish! Then he jumped off the table and pounced on the peacock’s tail.
The peacock was startled, and immediately raised its long and slender beautiful tail. Its colorful feathers were shining in the sun, dangling and were very attractive. The big lion lunged forward with a stride, and all of a sudden, the chicken, the dog and the cat jumped up on the high platform.
It wasn’t until Feng Su was about to end the competition that the “collusion and massacre” on the platform was over.
It was a pity that none of the three challengers could defeat the Demon Lords.
This was also expected. Several Demon Lords had been supplied with countless resources all year round. Naturally, their cultivation bases were more stable than other cultivators, and they had more spiritual tools than others, which was really difficult to defeat.
After the three of them had finished adjusting their breaths, the Demon Dao Supreme Conference entered the second stage.
Ming Yan slowly asked, “Is there anyone who wants to fight for the Supreme position of the Demon Path?”
The several Demon Venerables looked at each other and shook their heads. Ming Yan’s strength was unfathomable, even two Demon Venerables couldn’t beat him with both hands. To challenge his position was to seek death.
So the second stage passed.
Ming Yan then asked, “Does anyone want to redraw the territories?”
“Yes!” Mo Tianliao immediately said, “I want all the forces of Chi Xiang, the mines robbed by Shi Di, the medicine garden of Feng Su, and the 24 immortal cities of mine that you have annexed.”
Shi Di gave a cold snort, he called out the spiritual weapon from his dantian, and a tortoise-shell pig-killing knife suddenly appeared in his broad palm: “If you train this weapon for me, I will return the mines to you.”
Previously, Shi Di, had shown off his new divine weapon to the several Demon Venerables, *Tai Shi the Sow Annihilation Knife, was mercilessly mocked by the Demon Venerables.
“Sow Annihilation Knife ha ha ha. It’s just a Pig Killing Knife, this name is very appropriate, ha ha ha ha.” Feng Su laughed so much.
“This is the divine weapon of Duantian! It’s just that it hasn’t been awakened yet!” He snorted coldly.
“Divine weapon, that is the virtue? Hahahaha! Duantian died so unjustly, hahaha!” Feng Su’s ridicule was still ringing in his ears, which made Shi Di very unhappy. He held the pig-killing knife to tell stories every night. From the origin of the Taixuan Continent to the open crotch pants he wore when he was a child, but he couldn’t awaken the wisdom in the weapon.
The honest puppet Mo Yunqi would not lie to him, but it’s hard to tell about Mo Tianliao!
Mo Tianliao twitched the corners of his mouth: “Tai Shi Pig Killing Knife, that’s it, there’s no need to change it.”
