31. A mad dog came looking for him.
Teng Xielang's senses had been reduced to the minimum; he could only perceive things within the area of the Demon Palace.
But he could guess that the person who came was not there specifically to kill the child who had been granted amnesty.
Soon after, another messenger reported that She Sheng and Bo Hanbo had started fighting. This further confirmed his guess that Bo Hanbo and his men were trying to take back the Divine Blade Tianqi, and that they were using a diversionary tactic.
When he arrived at the Demon Pool, he was completely certain.
"See? I wasn't lying to you! The Divine Blade Heavenly Cry is right here! Go get it!"
Then, the mad dog Kuanglong Yishengxiao suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leading a retainer from Guiliang Bingfu. Tengxie recognized this person; he was the last of the three retainers who had ventured into the Hanhai with Jin Bazhen and Zilongxing.
But clearly, his fate had come to an end. Kuanglong threw him into the Demon Pool, where the evil demonic energy within corroded him into a skeleton in just a few breaths.
"Wow, that's powerful! Amazing... Holy crap! You're a ghost, you're so silent!"
Just as Kuanglong was unleashing his Reverse Scale Blade to strike the Divine Blade Tianqi, which hovered above the Demon Pool and remained unchanged despite being constantly corroded by demonic energy, he suddenly saw Tengxie appear silently.
He exclaimed, wondering how Teng Xie could conceal his aura so well, when he suddenly realized that Teng Xie wasn't concealing his aura, but rather that his aura had been reduced to its lowest level, as if someone had sealed his acupoints and blocked his power.
"The evil leader came to the Demon Realm for fun without even giving prior notice. How presumptuous of him!"
"Hey kid, did you masturbate too much? Why are you so weak? Want me to give you some good medicine to help you recover?"
"No need. The Demon Lord isn't here. Let the villain come another day."
"Hey, I'm your Demon Lord's sworn brother, how dare you be so rude?!"
Kuanglong stared at Tengxie, his gaze growing increasingly hostile. He already disliked this kid, and now his fingers were itching to strike.
Tengxie did not answer, but slowly opened his eyes.
"Are you blind...?!"
Before Kuanglong could finish speaking, Tengxie's eyes turned gray, followed by a chilling killing intent as sharp as a biting wind!
In his eyes, he saw Teng Xie's figure rising higher and higher, and his aura was the same. With each breath, he could feel the pressure!
This kid is really weird, I'll have to test him out!
The mad dragon's heart skipped a beat. His eyes widened, his aura surging, and he was about to erupt in fury when Teng Xie suddenly closed his eyes, withdrew his murderous intent, and calmly spoke, "Chief Evil, please move to the main hall. The Demon Lord will be here to see you soon."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the large eyeball floated over, releasing a light screen that was showing the Yama Drought Demon's violent outburst, which suddenly shattered the magic array of the Wansheng Rock monks, then blasted a group of monks to pieces, and then severely injured Tan Wuyu and Fojian with a single slash.
However, just as the Demon Lord was about to collect the heads, several figures suddenly flew over. They were the white-haired swordsman and three new-faced Taoists. The four of them joined forces and rescued Tan Wuyu and Buddha Sword Fenshuo.
Xuanzong's Six Strings, three of them: Crimson Clouds, Green Mountain Journey, White Snowflakes... Two memories surfaced in Teng Xie's mind. These three were all old rivals.
The Daoist Xuanzong sect, which once fiercely resisted the otherworldly demon realm, had ten Daoists, the "Six Strings and Four Wonders," who were the most outstanding.
Teng Xie's original form had dealt with these people quite a bit back then.
"Hey, you brat, aren't you going to lead the way?"
Kuanglong's loud laughter interrupted Tengxie's thoughts. Seeing that Yanmo Hanba had finished his work, he couldn't cause trouble in the Demon Realm anymore. Besides, he had important business to discuss with Yanmo Hanba.
"This way, please, the ringleader."
As Teng Xie led the way, he thought to himself, "Kuanglong is definitely up to no good. This mad dog didn't get Lian Emei's corpse, so he can't play the underworld incest game. And Lian Emei even said to him, 'You will never be as good as Yama.' With this guy's twisted and perverted nature, he must have murderous intentions towards Yama Hanba."
His intrusion into the Demon Realm to check on the condition of the Divine Blade was for ulterior motives. He knew he couldn't defeat Yama Hanba and couldn't unite with the righteous path, but he could sabotage Yama Hanba's plans. He could act as a hidden instigator to facilitate the Blade and Halberd's conquest of the Demon.
Push it, go ahead, let the sword and halberd slay the demon smoothly... Tengxie reminded the Demon Lord to be careful of the Mad Dragon, but the Demon Lord didn't listen, and that's not his problem.
My Lord Demon Lord, it's not that I want to harm you, it's these treacherous people who want to harm you!
Tengxie brought Kuanglong to the Demon Palace, just in time to see Shesheng having driven away Bohanbo and returning to check on the situation.
Tengxie then sent a telepathic message, "Little brother, are you here to receive the chief culprit?"
"I must guard the Demon Pool."
All I want to do is kill this mad dog… She Sheng replied telepathically, silently muttered a complaint, and then disappeared in a flash.
"That ungrateful little brother," Teng Xie muttered, just as Kuang Long shouted, "Hey, I'm Little Baba's honored guest! Aren't you going to treat me to anything good?"
As he spoke, he looked at the demonic eye floating behind Teng Xie. This perverted guy liked to pick out people's eyes and eat them raw.
"Here's a good beating for you, do you want it?" Teng Xie was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. He ignored the guy's noise and let it go in one ear and out the other, treating it as a way to temper his will.
Fortunately, Yama Hanba returned shortly afterward. A messenger had already informed him of the situation in the Demon Realm. Without wasting words with Kuanglong, he asked directly, "Kuanglong, what is it you want? Just say it."
"Little Baba, you've been riding high lately. I strongly encourage you to press your advantage and slaughter the righteous path until rivers of blood flow. Look, haven't I protected the Divine Blade for you? I'll also send someone to guard the Sacred Halberd for you, so you'll have no worries. Aren't I thoughtful enough?"
"Mad Dragon, what exactly are you planning?" Yama Hanba pondered for a moment, then said, "If you're truly interested, why not join me in besieging and killing Gui Liang Tianxia!"
"Sure! Absolutely no problem! Little Baba, you draft the perfect plan, and Little Dragon will definitely stick with you to the end! But I have something to do now, so I'll be going now, bye-bye!"
Kuanglong was quite decisive; he left after saying that, and then simply walked away.
Yama Hanba then looked at Tengxie, "What are your thoughts on this?"
After thinking for a moment, Tengxie spoke up, "After practicing Emei, the Demon Lord can't guess what Kuanglong is thinking. Perhaps he also wants to know the Demon Lord's next move. This person is ambitious but has no domineering presence. He only knows how to take advantage of others. Perhaps he wants to take advantage of the situation again."
Or perhaps, he harbors resentment over the matter of practicing Emei, and has already distanced himself from the Demon Lord.
"Hmm...it seems the Mad Dragon has also noticed the swords and halberds. With the righteous path defeated this time, our focus should shift to destroying the swords and halberds!"
"Demon Lord, those three remnants of the Xuanzong sect are also worth noting. Of the Six Strings and Four Wonders, besides the two deceased Jiu Fangchi and Huang Shangzi, plus the two traitors among the Four Wonders, there are three other people who deserve our utmost attention but have yet to show themselves."
"Azure? Hmm..."
Recalling the past, Yanmo Hanba realized that Xian Shou and the other two Qi had indeed left a deep impression on him. He then said, "Tengxie, you... um? Is your burden so heavy?"
