Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 1008 - 273: Shangwu State Preceptor, Golden Hoop Treasure_2
The sudden voice startled the Black Peng Demon Sovereign, causing its entire body to stiffen.
Because this voice sounded very familiar to it, as if it had heard it somewhere before.
Its eyes, already wide open, grew even larger at this moment, "This is ... inside this is ..."
The Azure Lion Demon Sovereign began to explain, "This is why I said today is not the day to take action. Because the National Master, He has come as a guest."
The Black Peng Demon Sovereign couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of cool air, its gaze shifting toward the inside of the cave, then it saw several ridiculously small human figures walking out from within.
They were called ridiculously small because, compared to the stature of Demons and Devils, humans were indeed too tiny.
It was like comparing a silver needle to a living person.
Yet, these tiny figures made the Black Peng Demon Sovereign’s pupils constrict.
It disregarded several of the figures among them, focusing solely on one.
That person was right in the center of the group.
The demonic aura emanating from the Black Peng Demon Sovereign suddenly drew back, and it struggled to calm the rage within its heart.
Then, bowing its head toward the central figure, it said, "I had not expected the National Master to come visit, and I have caused offense."
It was hard to imagine that a Demon so prone to anger could control its temper so quickly and even produce such words.
Such a scene...
Would truly shock anyone who saw it.
"Big brother, why didn’t you tell me earlier that it was the National Master who had come to visit? If you had told me earlier... I wouldn’t have gotten so agitated," the Black Peng Demon Sovereign could only use such words to cover up its earlier impudence.
From its attitude, it was evident... this being it called the National Master was definitely far more formidable than itself!
And the figure in the center of the crowd was without a doubt the current National Master of the Shangwu Dynasty!
The very same State Preceptor Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu always wanted to unmask.
His name—Shi Wangdao!
"I’ve been wanting to find the opportunity to mention it, but you’ve been rattling on non-stop, big brother, and I simply couldn’t find a moment to interject," the Azure Lion Demon Sovereign said with a twitch of his mouth.
"National Master, what brings you to seek out my big brother?" It seemed that the Shangwu Dynasty’s National Master could make the Black Peng Demon Sovereign momentarily suppress the anger in its heart and asked curiously.
Shangwu Dynasty’s National Master "Shi Wangdao" smiled and responded, "It’s nothing urgent. I simply gave a sermon in Guardian City, then on my way... I thought to visit an old friend, that’s all."
"I thought I heard you mention ’Qiulong Temple Fan Wu’ outside... is that correct?" Shi Wangdao inquired.
The words "Qiulong Temple Fan Wu" reignited the Black Peng Demon Sovereign’s anger, and, grinding its teeth, it nodded, "My people in Guardian City discovered the whereabouts of that Qiulong Temple Fan Wu! Then I sent someone to try and lure him out, and afterward, join forces with big brother to surround and kill him!"
Shi Wangdao nodded, "That Qiulong Temple Fan Wu... is the one who killed the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable, right?"
The Black Peng Demon Sovereign almost bit its beak’s teeth to pieces, "Yes! That damned human is the one who killed my second brother! I remember very clearly the painful tone in which my second brother transmitted his message using a secret technique right before his death!"
"I have an irreconcilable grudge with that damned human!" The more the Black Peng Demon Sovereign spoke, the more its rage burned, so much so that its feathers bristled, "I wish to flay his skin, strip his bones, sever his muscles, drink his blood, roast his flesh!"
The National Master of the Shangwu Dynasty, outwardly a middle-aged man with a head full of black hair, face free of any wrinkles, and a relatively kind appearance.
At a glance, he appeared to be a very trustworthy person.
He was dressed in a Daoist Robe unlike those worn by ordinary Taoists. It was as if his garment was a fusion of Daoist Robe and official robes—peculiar yet somehow dignified.
Confronted by the fiery-tempered Black Peng Demon Venerate, Shi Wangdao kept a slight smile on his face that never faded, "I’ve heard of that Qiu Long Fan Wu, I hear he’s quite formidable."
"It is said that he is not a man of the Shangwu Dynasty, but rather from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, he has not only killed your brethren but even an Evil God, as well as other Demons and Devils. He is a tough nut to crack."
At this, Shi Wangdao inquired, "Are you certain that you two demons and devils can defeat Qiu Long Fan Wu? Although I know you are powerful, the other party is no vegetarian, don’t forget he was able to kill the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable."
"Perhaps he’s no match for the two of you together, but what if he is determined to escape? Who among you could stop him then?"
Such questions rendered the Black Peng Demon Venerate speechless. It wanted to respond but didn’t know what to say.
Because it found the arguments of the National Master quite persuasive.
If that Qiu Long Fan Wu was intent on escape.
How could one possibly kill him?
At that moment, Shi Wangdao pulled a small object from his chest—a golden ring, it seemed.
He threw the golden ring forward, and in the blink of an eye, it grew immensely large before landing in the hands of the Black Peng Demon Venerate.
The Black Peng Demon Venerate instinctively caught the golden ring and found it heavier than expected, staggering forward under its weight.
The Black Peng Demon Venerate couldn’t help but pause in surprise, "What... what is this?"
Shi Wangdao responded, "This is a magic treasure. Throw it over the head of Qiu Long Fan Wu, and it will bind him. Then, not only will it seal his Mana, but also his soul. He will become as if a true mortal, at that time you can do with him as you please."
Black Peng Demon Venerate was overjoyed but also puzzled, "National Master, why would you give me such a treasure to deal with Qiu Long Fan Wu? Could it be that you also have some grudge against him?"
Shi Wangdao said, "Once in the Shangwu Dynasty, that Qiu Long Fan Wu mingled with Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu. He must’ve already regarded me as an enemy. Thus, why should I be polite to him?"
"Is that so?" Black Peng Demon Venerate was taken aback, and for some reason, it felt as if there was truth to the statement.
As if every word spoken by the National Master of the Shangwu Dynasty was reasonable enough to be believed.
It felt an instinctual trust in every word he said.
Black Peng Demon Venerate examined the huge golden ring in his hand, scratching its head, "Is this thing... really so powerful?"
"The National Master’s treasures could never be powerless, could they?" said the Green Lion Demon Venerable. "You little one, to be given such a treasure by the National Master and still complain? If you disdain it, then return it."
"Cough, cough!" Black Peng Demon Venerate put the golden hoop away, saying, "It’s been given already, where is the reason to return it? With the National Master’s treasure, even if I alone were to confront Qiu Long Fan Wu, I could take him down!"
The Green Lion Demon Venerable frowned, "You... want to go alone?"
Black Peng Demon Venerate replied, "Anyway, I can’t wait for another day, who knows where that guy has run off to by tomorrow? I’ve used a secret technique that allows my followers to quickly reach Guardian City. A journey of ten days is shortened to only half a day."
"The moment that Qiu Long Fan Wu... is lured out, that will be his end! I was thinking of bringing you, my big brother, along."
"But now, with the National Master’s treasure, I can manage on my own."
