Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 1009 - 274: You Think You’re on the 5th Level?
After confidently uttering such words, Black Peng Demon Venerate, having bid farewell to Blue Lion Demon Venerate and Shi Wangdao, actually transformed directly into a gigantic black Roc bird and flew away without any hesitation.
Seeing how hastily it departed, one would know it harbored bone-deep hatred for Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple.
It was also apparent among the three demons and devils.
That Black Peng Demon Venerate shared the closest relationship with Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable.
On the contrary, as the eldest, Blue Lion Demon Venerate did not seem to have quite as good a relationship with these two sworn brothers.
Watching the swiftly vanishing silhouette of Black Peng Demon Venerate, Blue Lion Demon Venerable’s brows slowly knitted as it spoke, "My third brother has always been such an impulsive creature. I always feel that one day, because of such a temperament, it will suffer a heavy loss."
After such a comment, its tone also sounded somewhat worried, "What’s more, it knows nothing about that Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple. Is it really safe for it to confront him alone with its sole strength?"
"If it doesn’t underestimate the enemy, then naturally there’s nothing to worry about. The Golden Rings I gave it are enough to suppress the Immortal Officials of the Heavenly Court," Shi Wangdao replied with a smile. "Could that mere Fan Wu of the Qiulong Temple really compare to the Immortal Officials of the Heavenly Court?"
Blue Lion Demon Venerate shook its head with a bitter smile, "But my third brother seems like one who would underestimate an opponent."
"However..." Blue Lion Demon Venerate said, as its tone shifted, "compared to my second brother, this third brother still has its merits. Although its strength is not as great as the second brother’s, its speed is far quicker."
"Even if it underestimates the enemy and, despite possessing the Golden Hoop Treasure from the National Master, is not a match for that Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple, it still has the capability to escape from the opponent’s clutches."
"It remains to be seen whether that Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple will be taken down by my third brother, or if my third brother will be forced to flee in defeat."
Hearing this, Shi Wangdao laughed and asked out of curiosity, "Tsk... Aren’t you worried about its safety? What if it dies at the hands of that Fan Wu of Qiulong Temple?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Blue Lion Demon Venerate also laughed, "I’m somewhat worried, but not overly so. If it dies... well, that’s not really an issue. I just need to make a trip back to Penglai Demon Island and I can find another second brother, and another third brother."
"After all, both of them are already my second, second brother, and my second, third brother. It’s just that over the years, I’ve never told them."
"And both have always been in the dark."
"Ha ha ha! How interesting!" Shi Wangdao laughed heartily, "Aren’t you afraid that knowing this, I might stir up trouble between the two of them?"
With a serious face, Blue Lion Demon Venerate responded, "If the National Master wanted to do that, my three brothers and I would have already fallen apart. Why would we wait until today?"
It looked down at Shi Wangdao, its voice filled with profound emotion and eyes holding a hint of wariness, "After all, National Master, you have the power to stir up the world’s great trends with your own strength. You’ve drawn countless dynasties into great wars."
"Even the grand Shangwu Dynasty has been shaped by you into an extremely bellicose one. Over the years... how many have died under the hooves of the Shangwu Dynasty’s Iron Cavalry? Tens of millions, at least?"
Blue Lion Demon Venerate paused for a moment before continuing, "If I’m not mistaken, the increasingly haughty Blood Gu Sect over this millennium... must also have some connection with you, National Master, right?"
Shi Wangdao squinted, his face smiling, neither admitting nor denying.
"To tell you the truth, I simply cannot figure out all National Master’s actions are for. We have known each other for so long, can you not reveal... what your ultimate goal is?" Blue Lion Demon Venerate braced itself internally and raised the question.
"Hmm? My goal?" Shi Wangdao laughed, "As the State Preceptor of the Shangwu Dynasty, naturally I want every citizen of this dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment."
"..." Blue Lion Demon Venerate truly did not believe it from the bottom of its heart.
If the National Master truly had such ambitions, he would not have caused so much trouble.
Even as a powerful demon devil, when facing Shi Wangdao, that feeling of vigilance and dread was still very much present.
There were two reasons for this. One reason was that the State Preceptor of the Shangwu Dynasty was extremely cunning.
No one, not a single person or demon devil, could see what he truly wanted to do.
No one knew of his origins either; it was as if he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, yet such an abrupt emergence raised no suspicions.
The second reason... was simply that he was outrageously strong. In the past, he had battled against the San Qing Supreme Demon and, despite being outnumbered three to one, he was not outmatched!
He had nearly been killed!
There was one more thing Blue Lion Demon Venerate didn’t voice—that in that great battle of the past, it had sensed the aura of a Heavenly Demon from outside this realm on this National Master!
Even it did not know if its own senses from back then had been mistaken.
