King of Assassins-Chapter 972 - 670: Meeting Gift (Part 3)

There are powerful beings like Asura and Dragon Race who rebel against the Celestial Court.

Gao Xuan realized that being a Celestial Master isn't easy after mastering the Golden Seal.

The Immortal Realm is vast, with countless strong beings. It's common for a Celestial Master to encounter powerful demons and get killed.

From the information on the Golden Seal, the Celestial Court's control over the lower levels of the Celestial Realm is quite weak.

Gao Xuan understood how to use the Golden Seal and gave a low shout, "Child, show yourself."

With the Golden Seal in hand, Gao Xuan is the master of this place.

Once he spoke, a flash of clear light passed over the two clay statue children on both sides of the offering table, bringing them to life.

The pair of children were four feet tall, one male and one female, with horn-shaped hairstyles, rosy cheeks, bright black eyes, and fair tender skin. Dressed in blue short shirts, the pair of children looked quite charming.

The children came to life, obediently walked over to Gao Xuan, bowed, and greeted, "Qingfeng and Ming Yue greet the master."

"You've cleaned up the room inside and out…"

The two children looked cute and were very Spiritual but weren't real humans, so they couldn't be considered child laborers. Gao Xuan was quite ruthless in using them.

The two children deftly started working, and Gao Xuan then used the Golden Seal to send out a flying book.

The Golden Seal is a very special Magical Artifact, through which one can send messages and manage the geography of the territory.

Gao Xuan knew nothing about Wuyuan Country, and while the clay statue children had some Spiritual qualities, they had no experience.

To truly understand the local situation, one naturally needs to find the local Earth God.

Sending a message through the Golden Seal, as long as the local Earth God is alive, they wouldn't dare to refuse to come.

Though the Celestial Court lets the Lower Realm be unmanaged, there are still basic laws.

Gao Xuan didn't wait long before an old man three feet tall with white hair appeared in front of him from a white mist rising from the green-bricked ground.

The old man's face was surrounded by wrinkles, making it hard to see his features. He trembled as he bowed to Gao Xuan, "Local Earth God Wu Liu greets the Celestial Master."

Gao Xuan said, "No need for formalities. I'm new here and unfamiliar with the situation; brief me."

Earth God Wu Liu looked troubled. He hesitated before saying, "Celestial Master, Wuyuan Country has been chaotic for hundreds of years. The three Great Demons have almost taken control here, and their power is formidable. We don't dare provoke them…"

After saying this, Wu Liu felt he was wrong and quickly knelt and kowtowed, "I have low Mana and cannot exterminate the Demons for the people; I'm ashamed and fearful."

"The three Great Demons?"

Gao Xuan showed interest, "Tell me more in detail."

"Wuyuan Country is rampant with demons, and the most powerful ones are the three Great Demons. The first is the Iron Horn King, occupying the Yunxi Mountain Range, claiming to have a hundred thousand Little Demons under him. He's the most arrogant and unrestrained.

He frequently allows his Demon Soldiers to raid and burn, leaving the towns around the Yunxi Mountain Range empty; it's all by Iron Horn King's doing.

The second is King Jinlin, whose body is apparently a ten-thousand-year-old golden carp. He occupies Bai Cang River. King Jinlin likes young boys and girls and requires sacrifices of a hundred pairs of them on his birthday each year.

Failure to comply results in floodstorms that destroy fleets.

The third is the White Fox Demon Hu Ji, who can change infinitely. It's said that the current Empress of Wuyuan Country is Hu Ji in disguise…"

Earth God Wu Liu dared not hide anything and introduced everything he knew.

Gao Xuan curiously asked, "No one manages the rampant Great Demons?"

"There's always someone managing, but the demons are powerful, and those wanting to suppress them never return."

Wu Liu cautiously said, "I heard that these demons are rooted deeply. Even those with the power to subdue demons might not dare provoke them."

Gao Xuan nodded, celestial spirits forming alliances while demons and devils forming their own alliances is quite normal.

He was new and didn't know anything, and couldn't just listen to one-sided words from the Earth God.

On the other hand, he hadn't grasped the changes in Primordial Qi of this realm.

The Golden Seal includes the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Techniques; he also needs to study them. No need to rush whatever he plans.

This Earth God is rather timid, but he's a valuable source of information. He must be utilized.

Gao Xuan gave him some comforting praises, making the small old man's face burst into a smile like a flower.

Wu Liu was worried about the Celestial Master's temper and felt uneasy. He didn't expect the young Celestial Master to be so understanding, and sensible, without forcing him to be enemies with demons.

Gao Xuan instructed, "Do your work well. Report any important messages immediately. I'll remember your meritorious service."

Wu Liu was even happier. Just getting information was enough to merit reward, which was easy.

Being an Earth God for so many years, Wu Liu also understood worldly wisdom.

Since the Celestial Master was easy-going, he also wanted to express his gratitude.

Wu Liu knelt, presenting a piece of Blood Red Ginseng with both hands, "Celestial Master, this is a Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng that has developed two points of Spirituality, just right for the master to nourish himself…"

Gao Xuan smiled, and with a flick of his sleeve, he collected the Blood Ginseng, "Since you're so thoughtful, I'll accept it."

Seeing Gao Xuan accept his gift, Wu Liu was quite happy, feeling the relationship between them had become closer.

"I will go inquire about the news. If the master has anything to ask, just send a message to me, and it will certainly be done correctly…"

Wu Liu spoke more confidently after gifting.

Gao Xuan was about to speak when Qingfeng hurriedly entered from outside the door, quickly bowing and said, "Master, a demon has come to the door, saying they wish to see you."

"Let him in."

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised. He had yet to make a move, but the demons came to him first. These demons were indeed bold.

"Here I come."

A large man covered in black fur strode into the main hall. He stood over ten feet tall, with a pair of shiny black horns on his head, a sinister face, black-red eyes, and a thick black iron spear on his shoulder. The spear carried something covered in blood.

This man's appearance was extremely ugly, but his figure was tall and strong, darkening the main hall as he stood at the entrance.

Seeing this man's appearance, Wu Liu swallowed his saliva and whispered to Gao Xuan, "Black Horn, the Iron Armor King's top general."

The big man glared at Gao Xuan with his large bull eyes, "My king knows the new Celestial Master has arrived, and sent me to deliver a gift."

Saying this, the big man swung the spear he carried forward, dropping the thing on the main hall floor.

It was a bloody chunk resembling a person. The whole body was covered in blood, looking extremely terrifying.

Black Horn laughed heartily, "This is a skin-flayed girl, fresh and delicious. If you enjoy it, I can bring you a few more next time…"

Before Gao Xuan could speak, Black Horn's body spun, transforming into a gust of black wind, flying into the sky.

Wu Liu and the children Qingfeng and Ming Yue looked at the skinless corpse on the ground with horror on their faces. Wu Liu, in particular, trembled so much his lips quivered. He couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Gao Xuan, however, remained composed, saying to Wu Liu, "The demons here are truly audacious…"
