Chapter 73 Inviting guests to a feast, beheading them, and accepting them as dogs
In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons at Mount Buzhou, the Corpse Demon Drought Demon is revered.
This drought demon is the spirit of the corpse of an ancient cultivator, born with an extremely strong physical body and powerful magical abilities.
Below the drought demon were eight great demon kings: the Azure Dragon King, the Golden Roc King, the Red Lion King, the Black Elephant King, the White King, the Yellow Ape King, the Purple Fox King, and the Blue Scorpion King.
All eight demon kings had reached level sixty in cultivation, making them undoubtedly powerful figures in their own right.
In other myths and legends, they are all the biggest bosses behind the scenes.
Demons like the Tree Demon Granny, the Black Mountain Demon, and the Compassionate Salvation Demon are utterly insignificant compared to the Eight Great Demon Kings.
In addition, Buzhou Mountain is home to a large number of minor demons.
Although their cultivation level was not strong, they could still make quite a show of force.
At this moment, the drought demon and the eight demon kings were drinking in their cave when a little demon came to report.
"Your Majesty, a mortal is standing outside the mountain gate, saying, saying—"
Seeing the little demon's hesitant manner, the Azure Dragon King was furious: "What did that human say?"
The little demon took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down: "Reporting to Your Majesty, that man said he wanted to take the leaders in—to make them his dogs."
Upon hearing this, the demon king inside the cave was enraged.
"What?!"
"Who dares to be so insolent?"
"This is outrageous! I'll tear him apart alive!"
The demon kings were furious, while the drought demon remained calm.
He looked at the eight demon kings around him and asked, "Who is willing to fight and capture that arrogant fool?"
The Azure Dragon King immediately cupped his hands in greeting: "I am willing to capture this person alive!"
The Drought Demon immediately nodded: "Okay!"
The Azure Dragon King ordered the little demon, "Bring me my armor!"
The little demons sprang into action, fetching the Azure Dragon King a blue cloak and a long spear weighing over a thousand pounds.
The Azure Dragon King, fully armored and wielding a long spear, looked truly majestic.
He bowed to the crowd and then flew out of the cave.
A moment later, the Azure Dragon King returned to the cave.
Upon seeing this, the other demon kings exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of the Azure Dragon King, he killed that arrogant fellow so quickly."
"Is there a head?"
-
"I want to drink with human heads!"
The demon kings all offered their flattery, but the leader, the drought demon, remained silent.
Drought Demon stared intently at Azure Dragon King, a bad premonition creeping into his heart.
Could it be that the Azure Dragon King has already been defeated?
How is that possible in such a short time?
If the Azure Dragon King is truly defeated, it demonstrates the strength of those outside—
The Azure Dragon King surveyed the crowd, took a deep breath, and said, "Insolence! You mere demons dare to occupy my master's mountain range! I advise you to surrender and become my master's dogs!"
All the demon kings: ?
"Hey, Azure Dragon King, don't do something foolish."
"Are you under some kind of spell?"
"Don't joke like that!"
Not only were the demon kings puzzled, but even the lesser demons around them were startled.
Their status was far inferior to that of the Demon King, so they dared not speak, only wondering what had happened outside in such a short time.
The drought demon stood up: "Please let me see your master."
The Azure Dragon King, seeing the drought demon whose cultivation far surpassed his own, showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he gripped his spear and pointed forward: "If you want to see my master, you must first submit!"
The drought demon frowned slightly: "What kind of logic is this? How could I possibly submit to a creature I've never even seen before?"
The demon kings sensed something was off about the drought demon's tone.
This extraordinary being seems to genuinely want to submit to those outside, but simply needs a way to do so.
What exactly happened?
Most of the demon kings had not yet recovered from the shock, but a few clever demon kings had already guessed most of it.
When the Azure Dragon King went into battle, he not only suffered a crushing defeat, but was also completely subdued.
The demon kings were shocked and puzzled.
However, none of them are as strong as the drought demon, so they still have to wait for this powerful being to make a decision.
The drought demon remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Since that's the case, then I choose to submit!"
"this?!"
"What?"
"how so?"
"The Demon Kingdom has tens of thousands of lesser demons, plus a few of us, how could we possibly be no match for the creatures outside?"
The demon kings were terrified and tried to dissuade them.
Intelligent demon kings like the Purple Fox King and the Blue Scorpion King had already positioned themselves behind the Drought Demon.
"Since Your Majesty has declared your submission, then we shall submit!"
"That's right, we must not disobey the King's will!"
Drought Demon looked at the demon kings around him, corpse energy rising from his palm: "It seems you want to go against your master's will, then don't blame me."
The demon king, unwilling to submit, harbored some resentment upon seeing the drought demon's attitude.
Pooh!
When they first arrived, they were all arrogant and haughty, but in the blink of an eye, they submitted to someone they hadn't even met!
Now it's even more incredible.
Before even meeting them, they were already trying to take action against us, their companions.
-
How shameless!
The demon kings may have grumbled inwardly, but they dared not disobey the drought demon's orders.
Of course, the demon kings were even more terrified of that mysterious person from the outside world.
Therefore, the demon kings directly expressed their submission and rose to prepare to welcome the mysterious figure.
Seeing the appearance of the Drought Demon and the seven demon kings, the Azure Dragon King finally nodded.
He released his magical power and then waited quietly.
A moment later, Xu Xian stepped onto the golden jade platform and strolled into the cave, laughing as he said, "You all know how to be pragmatic."
Both the Drought Demon and the Demon King scrutinized Xu Xian closely, their astonishment growing even stronger.
Just by looking at the golden jade platform under Xu Xian's feet, one can tell that he must be practicing the most orthodox Dharma in the world.
Moreover, the lineage passed down through generations is absolutely beyond imagination.
In addition, the aura emanating from this person also made the Drought Demon and the Demon King tremble.
Xu Xian stepped into the cave and naturally took the main seat.
The Azure Dragon King reacted swiftly and immediately came to Xu Xian's side.
He shoved the drought demon aside, wiped the area clean, and then revealed a fawning expression: "Master, please sit down."
The Purple Fox Lord and the Blue Scorpion King, who were beside the Drought Demon, secretly regretted their slowness, as they had given such a good opportunity to flatter the Azure Dragon King.
Drought Demon was pushed, but he wasn't angry.
He looked closely at Xu Xian, then knelt on the ground to express his submission.
Upon seeing this, the other demon kings also knelt down and kowtowed, addressing him as "master."
Xu Xian looked at the demon king before him and said with a smile, "Get up."
The drought demon took a deep breath and said, "Master, I have a request."
Xu Xian looked at the food and wine on the table with a hint of disdain.
These dishes and wines were, after all, for the Demon King, so they were rather rough and not refined.
Moreover, all the demon kings had drunk wine, and the table was now somewhat chaotic.
The Purple Fox King and the Blue Scorpion King finally found their opportunity.
With a wave of their sleeves, the food and wine on the table instantly turned to dust.
The two knelt down and said, "Master, we will immediately arrange for someone to serve you new wine and dishes."
"Okay, go ahead."
"yes!"
After the Purple Fox King and the Blue Scorpion King left, Xu Xian turned to the Drought Demon and asked, "Do you want to test my strength?"
The drought demon immediately knelt and bowed: "I dare not! I only wish to receive instruction from my master!"
"Hehe, okay!"
Xu Xian sat in the main seat, looked at the demon kings around him, and said, "You may all come along. Let me see your strength."
The demon kings knew that Xu Xian was telling the truth.
They exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously, saying, "Yes!"
