Chapter 1469: Private Meeting

ng's blade slashed through the air.At this time, the power displayed by Hekimaru was incomparable to when it was wielded by the Tenki Oni-ō. It successfully shattered the remaining azure light and, wi...The King of the Deer Demon patted the restless black shark, and let out a sly laugh, "This seat is the Great Immortal Deer! You don't even recognize this seat, could it be that you just transformed"

Qin Sang remained silent.

Lu Daxian only thought that Qin Sang was being timid, the newly appointed Demon King's strength was limited, and facing a veteran Demon King, this kind of fearful expression was very normal.

For demonic cultivators, aptitude is more important than for human cultivators.

Before transforming into their true forms, most demons are spiritually undeveloped and oblivious, relying on instinct to cultivate. Unless they have good fortune and receive the Emperor's Flowing Liquid from a demon king for enlightenment, their spiritual awareness remains dormant. As a result, most demonic cultivators cannot meticulously plan their actions like human cultivators in pursuit of opportunities.

Correspondingly, there are many demon clans with bloodline mutations or those who have consumed heaven and earth treasures. They don't need to join sect forces and meticulously seek out cultivation techniques and secret arts.

One only needs to hide in a secluded cave dwelling, practicing meditation and breathing exercises daily, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, comprehending the power of their bloodline, and cultivating their innate divine abilities. This is how one can transform into a physical form.

Such sudden appearances of nameless demon kings are not uncommon in the Demon Realm.

"Friend Yuandao, meeting this Immortal is your good fortune. This Immortal serves under the Heavenly Peng Great Saint. As long as this Immortal speaks to the Great Saint on your behalf, I guarantee you will rise to great heights, with a magnificent cave abode, exotic treasures and elixirs, and a host of demon soldiers at your command!"

Lord Lu's heart was filled with the desire to recruit.

This demon king, with his innate ability to transform on his own without any guidance, possesses extraordinary talent. What makes him even more remarkable is that he appears to have joined no factions whatsoever.

As for whether the other party was lying, Lu Daxian was not worried. If there were any problems, it would be impossible to hide from the Great Sage's eyes. Just go before the Great Sage and he will surely reveal his true form.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the other party suddenly flapped their wings furiously and retreated a thousand feet in the blink of an eye, their face full of apprehension.

Lù Dàxiān's heart turned, and he guessed the other person's thoughts.

The demon clan practiced might makes right, devouring the weak alive. This one's spiritual intelligence had just begun to awaken, and he relied on instinct to act, yet he was afraid that Heavenly Peng Saint would swallow him whole.

Lu Daxian chuckled, "Tianpeng Great Sage is such a remarkable figure, could he still be concerned with your mortal flesh The Great Sage is the Saint Master of our demon clan, with a mind that encompasses the world and countless powerful disciples under his command. Don't judge him with the petty thoughts of a small person!"

Qin Sang was silent for a moment, then said, "I heard that you are going to war with the human race. It's too dangerous. I don't want to participate."

“Coward!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu Da Xian’s demonic eyes glared angrily, “For years, we have only been able to cower in the Demon Realm. The human race has slaughtered countless of our kin, committing heinous crimes! Now that Tian Peng Great Saint raises his arms and calls upon us, we can finally vent our rage, yet you want to retreat! To eat their flesh, drink their blood, devour their Nascent Souls, seize their caves, and enslave their descendants – wouldn’t that be delightful!”

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Lu Daxian's tone shifted and he said: "It is not necessary for you to go to the battlefield in person. Even from behind the lines, you can still assist the Great Sage. This is what I am currently doing. If you are worried about your own safety, you might as well follow me for a while and see for yourself."

"Yuan certainly didn't intend to do this, farewell!"

Qin Sang shook his head, turned and flew away, disappearing from sight in a short while.

Lu Daxian didn't pursue closely, thoughtfully rubbing his chin. "This deity invited him, gave him the chance to access secrets, but he wasn't tempted. The possibility of him being a spy is unlikely. Hmph, this area is all under this deity's watchful eyes. I'll see where you run off to. Well, let those old demons keep an eye on him too, and observe further. There's something strange about his wings, I wonder what bloodline he comes from."

Human cultivators like to keep spirit beasts, so there's a high probability of spirit beasts at the stage of forming their shapes within Xuan Tian Palace.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

These spirit beasts have been tamed and willingly serve as agents of the demon king. The demon clan has suffered losses in the past, facing an unknown demon king, they naturally need to be wary.

At this time, Qin Sang confirmed that the deer demon had not caught up, slowed down his speed, and flew leisurely.

He was putting on such a show because he was considering this issue and didn't want to be suspected of being a demon or a traitor, thus attracting too much scrutiny.

By intentionally or unintentionally coming into contact with nearby demon kings several times, getting to know them, and slowly building relationships, one can later have these demon kings testify. Even false stories can become true with their testimony, making it much easier to operate in the Demon Realm.

Next, Qin Sang would go out from time to time, diligently pretending to be a timid and cautious new demon king. He traveled extensively, broadening his horizons, and made friends with several other demon kings. He also met with Lu Daxian twice.

He abided by his own principles, maintaining a low profile and concealing the thunderous power on his wings. This made Phoenix Wings less conspicuous, and he claimed to be of the Azure Bird lineage.

Through repeated interactions, the demon kings' suspicions gradually diminished.

For the next half year, Qin Sang remained active on the fringes, patiently laying the groundwork. He searched for fragments of the Killing Sword while also gathering information and learning about the distribution of power within the Demon Realm.

On a vibrant little island, the jungle is lush and birds are chirping.

At this moment, a small yellow spirit bird flew over the horizon. Its eyes were bright and intelligent, clearly possessing extraordinary wisdom, far surpassing any ordinary birds on the island.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The spirit bird flew across the sky, its eyes darting around to make sure there was nothing amiss. Suddenly, its figure twisted, and it plummeted downwards.

After flying into the jungle, the spirit bird seemed to be guided by some force, accurately finding an ancient tree. It stretched out its wings and brushed against the bark. A ghostly light burst forth, and some messages appeared in its mind.

It grew up in Xuan Tian Palace since childhood, under enlightenment it could speak, its ancestors were all spiritual beasts of Xuan Tian Palace, but it wasn't oppressed, instead, it was supported by people, quite contented, seeing itself as a part of Xuan Tian Palace, voluntarily mixing into the demon race to act as a spy.

Not long ago, the mark within it was triggered, and it followed the guidance to find its way here.

These messages were left by Qin Sang.

He didn't intentionally probe for secrets. He saw clues through various phenomena, and as for how much help it would be to the Xuan Tian Palace, he couldn't care less.

Now, Qin Sang has entered the demon realm.

He was disappointed by Lu Daxian's explanation that he didn't want to be caught in the war and would rather go to seek refuge with the Nine-Headed Great Saint.

The southern part of the Demon Realm.

These mountains stretch for miles, the terrain is rugged and dangerous, with thick miasma and hordes of monsters.

In the center of the mountains, there is a large lake, but its surroundings are eerily quiet.

The lake water was a ghastly gray, still as death. It seemed to be a forbidden zone of life, shrouded in an oppressive stillness. The surrounding demonic beasts dared not set foot within half a step of the thunder pool.

Just then, with a sudden whoosh, a figure flew out of the Dead Lake unharmed. Its gaze swept across the surroundings, locking onto a direction, and with a flap of its wings, it vanished into the air.

This person is Qin Sang.

After entering the demon realm, he had a clear goal and went straight to the so-called secret realm of the demons and the Demon King's cave.

After years of tireless effort, traversing mountains and rivers, spending nearly two years on the journey, I have now explored most of the demon realm, yet I have found nothing.

This dead lake still hadn't brought him any surprises.

Having confirmed that there were no fragments of the Slaughter Sword in the lake, Qin Sang didn't hesitate to escape from the Dead Lake. Although he could feel that there were still secrets hidden at the bottom of the lake.

Qin Sang looked south and murmured, "Continue south, the next target is Tianpeng Mountain, the abode of Saint Tianpeng. It's said that Bi Fang was scared out of his wits by Tong Lingyu and, after taking refuge with Saint Tianpeng, hid on Tianpeng Mountain to recuperate. It's not a good idea to forcefully break into Tianpeng Mountain. We could guard outside and wait for him to come out."

Qin Sang pondered in his heart. Among the targets ahead, the most important ones were the two Great Saints' cave dwellings. The probability of other places containing fragments of the killing sword was not high.

"Well! Let's go to the Wan Yao Cave of the Nine-Headed Saint in the north first, and then to Tianpeng Mountain. After killing Bi Fang, we'll leave the Demon Realm. I'm about to fully comprehend the fourth seal of the Seven Buddhist Imprints. I'll wait outside Tianpeng Mountain for a while, and take this opportunity to integrate the first four seals. Also, the Sun God Tree has already formed the outline of the Divine Bird, and it will be formed soon. It's faster than expected..."

Thinking of where to go next, Qin Sang turned north.

Near the Great Saint's Cave of the demon clan, Qin Sang acted with increasing caution.

The Cave of the Nine-Headed Saint is easily recognizable. Outside Wan Yao Cave, there's a cold pool with hanging fairy vines, orchids growing alongside, and misty clouds swirling, just like a fairyland.

The entrance to the Myriad Demon Cave is at the bottom of the Cold Lake.

The surroundings of Han Tan were very cold.

The Nine-Headed Great Sage is indifferent and rarely intervenes, more like a hidden master of the demon clan. The forces under his command are incomparable to those of the Heavenly Peng Great Sage.

Qin Sang concealed his presence and carefully approached the cold pond. He didn't need to forcefully enter the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. After confirming that Jian Ling wasn't reacting, he left with disappointment.

Then, having searched the rest of the places, Qin Sang finally arrived near Tianpeng Mountain.

Compared to the serene and quiet Wan Yao Cave, Tian Peng Mountain was filled with surging demonic energy and countless demons congregating. Even though most of the demon soldiers had been dispatched for war, Tian Peng Mountain still possessed a terrifying depth of power.

Qin Sang quietly came to a small hill near Tianpeng Mountain. Standing under a tree, he looked at the towering peak. A thick demonic aura gathered into dark clouds, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Jian Ling still remained unresponsive. Both of the Great Saints' cave dwellings held no fragments of the killing sword.

After assessing Tianpeng Mountain's strength, Qin Sang determined that he couldn't infiltrate and assassinate Bi Fang without alerting any monsters.

There will never be a shortage of demon kings on Tianpeng Mountain. It's not a wise move to barge in uninvited.

He looked around cautiously, then retreated a distance before choosing a mountain and carving out a hidden cave. He kept an eye on the movements of Tiansheng Mountain while contemplating the "Seven Masters' Buddha Imprints."

He also understood that the probability of stumbling upon Bi Fang in this way was not high.

Qin Sang estimated that Bi Fang, relying on Tian Peng Great Saint, would definitely be rewarded with spiritual herbs. Calculating the time, his injuries were almost recovering. Tian Peng Great Saint wouldn't keep idle people around for nothing. With fierce battles ahead, once Bi Fang recovered his combat power, he would surely be summoned.

Given that Bi Fang was being chased by Tong Ling Yu so miserably, he definitely also wants revenge against Xuan Tian Palace.

This watch lasted for half a year.

During this period, many demon kings came and went, but Bi Fang was nowhere to be seen, nor were the frogs.

“The divine bird's form was becoming increasingly clear as it approached completion. At this rate, in just a few months, it would be fully formed. I had planned to use Bi Fang to test the power of the sun god tree! Unfortunately, Bi Fang is a turtle and refuses to show its head. I can’t just waste time here…”

Qin Sang stood before the entrance of his cave dwelling, gazing out at Tianpeng Mountain. After a moment of contemplation, he decided to wait for two more months. If Bi Fang still hadn't appeared by then, he would set a new target.

Thus, more than twenty days passed.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang, who was contemplating the *Seven Masters and Buddhist Seals*, suddenly woke up with a start. His face changed slightly, and he stood up abruptly, looking towards Tianpeng Mountain.

At this moment, the aura around him was suppressed to an extremely weak state, as if facing a formidable enemy!

'Boom boom boom...'

A deafening roar, like a clap of thunder, echoed through the air.

Then, Qin Sang saw a cloud appear in the east, flying towards them at an astonishing speed.

A series of figures flew out from the Tianpeng Mountain, adopting a welcoming stance. With the aid of the Sky-Eye Divine Ability, Qin Sang saw Bi Fang for the first time.

Next, Qin Sang did not show any joy. He immediately ordered Tianmu Die to withdraw her divine ability, and secretly felt vigilant in his heart.

Tianpeng Great Saint did not know why he returned to Tianpeng Mountain.

In a moment.

That cloud drifted over Tianpeng Mountain Peak, dissipating on its own, revealing a proud and unrestrained figure. It was none other than Tianpeng Da Sheng, one of the two divine saints of the demon clan!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The demon kings like Bi Fang bowed and greeted him.

To everyone's surprise, after saying a few words to the demons, Tianpeng the Great Saint ordered them to retreat. He himself remained suspended in mid-air, motionless for a long time.

Seeing the performance of Tianpeng Great Saint, Qin Sang secretly felt strange and lucky that he was far enough away, otherwise there was a risk of exposure.

Although one couldn't see Tianpeng Great Sage's expression with the naked eye, Qin Sang could vaguely see that he was facing south, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, a black light suddenly appeared on the horizon, as fast as a meteor.

Seeing the black glow, Tianpeng Saint abruptly opened his demonic eyes, shooting out two almost tangible beams of light, his aura was overwhelming. The black glow paused slightly, showing no fear, and continued to fly towards Tianpeng Mountain.

At this moment, Qin Sang, who was hiding in the shadows, narrowed his eyes, his expression flickering.

Although the newcomer had restrained his aura, Qin Sang felt a sense of familiarity because they had crossed paths too many times.

It was actually the old demonic man who had chased and attacked him several times!

The old man who mixed demons entered the demon realm alone and had a private meeting with the great saint Tianpeng.

Qin Sang never expected that while he was guarding Bi Fang, he would witness such a scene.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"What does this old demon want to do Does he represent the boundless sea forces, and is the demonic path plotting to join forces with the demon clan to divide Xuan Tian Palace"

Qin Sang's mind flashed with countless thoughts, but she also felt it wasn't quite right.

The headmaster of Xuan Tian Palace is still around, and there's also a senior elder with late-stage strength. With so many experts, they can't just be slaughtered by others unless those demons are willing to fight to the death and leave both sides destroyed.

Furthermore, if he were truly going to collude with the demon clan, the old man who fights demons should have been more thorough in his disguise when meeting Tianpeng Da Sheng in secret than he is now.

Qin Sang couldn't figure out the reason and didn't dare to move rashly. She held her breath and watched silently, waiting for changes.

"Whoosh!"

The demon old man flew to the Heavenly Peng Saint's presence, pressed down his escaping light, black qi entangled his body, his appearance was unclear, and he smiled and bowed, "Saint, are you well"

Not at all like they were when they faced each other at the Grand Conclave of Demons.

The content within the tags is empty. Therefore, I can only return:

Tianpeng Daxing's snort rumbled like thunder, but his voice did not carry. "Old Demon, what are you playing at You requested to meet with this Great Sage, yet refuse to meet on the sea. If you don't give a reasonable explanation and we miss our opportunity, this Great Sage will make sure you can't leave Tianpeng Mountain!"

The old man, unafraid of his threat, calmly replied: "If I were to appear on the battlefield and meet the Great Saint, this matter would surely cause a stir. I wouldn't want to be the Great Saint's pawn, suppressing the morale of Xuan Tian Palace and causing them to misunderstand. Since you dare to seek out the Great Saint, it must be a momentous occasion. It should have been discussed with the Great Saint at the Wan Mo Conference, but unfortunately, some unforeseen circumstances disrupted my plan. Only recently have I confirmed certain matters."

"Speaking of which, the demon-subduing old man took a look around. “Is this how the Great Sage entertains guests”

"If you dare, come in!"

Heavenly Peng Saint snorted coldly, flashing into Heavenly Peng Mountain. The old man with chaotic magic wasn't afraid at all and followed leisurely behind.ing the venerable Nascent Soul ancestor expounding at length on such low-level content, and moreover an outlier like artifact refinement, some felt impatient.They naturally dared not act recklessly in...
