Eternal Saber

Chapter 598 - 19: The Love of Longyang

This evening, the group from the Demon Sect stayed overnight in Gumo Country, setting out early the next morning.

The Yin Demon was drunkenly swaying, embracing two beauties gifted by King Gu Mo, as he staggered back to his quarters.

The two beauties fumbled to light the oil lamp, and saw a tall, pitch-black figure standing ahead, resembling a malevolent ghost in the dark, emitting a terrifying aura!

"Ah!"

The two beauties were startled and screamed.

But just as they opened their mouths, they felt a sharp pain from the back of their heads, their bodies slumped, falling to the ground, already lifeless.

The Yin Demon killed the two, stepped forward to extinguish the fallen oil lamp, the room returned to darkness.

"Something wrong?"

The Yin Demon simultaneously ran Innate True Qi, expelling the alcohol from his body, while looking at the shadow in the dark ahead, frowning and asking.

At this time, the Death Demon wouldn’t come to his room for no reason.

Since the two maids stumbled upon them, it spared him the trouble and he couldn’t be bothered to explain, casually killing them.

Even if King Gu Mo knew the next day, he wouldn’t dare ask much.

"Why?"

The Death Demon spoke, but only said two words.

After knowing each other for years, with a brief thought, the Yin Demon guessed what the Death Demon wanted to ask, why he was taking the junior disciple to tour the nations, indulging in wine and revelry.

The Yin Demon replied, "Of course, following the master’s orders, keeping him close."

The Death Demon didn’t believe him, frowned and asked, "Demon planting?"

The Yin Demon chuckled, saying, "Junior brother praises me too much, the master’s ’Demon Planting Technique,’ our senior brother and junior sister practice best, with the deepest enlightenment, I’m far from it."

"However, taking him to do these things indeed has a deeper meaning."

"If we just keep an eye on him, not let him leave, it’s not understanding the master’s intention. You, junior brother, can trap his body, but not his heart."

"And what I, senior brother, want to do is keep his heart in the Demon Sect, let him truly become a demon, into our sect! Then, even if we don’t watch him, he wouldn’t want to leave, greedily clinging to everything here."

The Death Demon shook his head, saying, "Difficult!"

"Heh!"

The Yin Demon lightly laughed, saying, "Third junior brother, for men, temptations in the world are none other than power, wealth, and women."

"Touring the nations, letting him feel the unmatched power and status of the Demon Monarch, nations will offer countless treasures, freely picked women, he grew up poor, used to hide and be hunted in the Divine Land, when had he ever enjoyed such imperial treatment?"

"If it were you or me at his age, we might not be able to resist."

The Death Demon remained silent.

The second senior brother’s idea might be right, but whether it would be useful for this new junior disciple, was hard to say.

This past month, he had quietly observed Chen Tang.

This junior disciple seemed not much resistant to a life of indulgence, accepted all the beauties offered by the nations, but didn’t touch any of them.

Moreover, every day after indulging, this junior brother returned to his quarters, still maintained his practice habit, without any slack.

The Yin Demon continued, "From the information I received, this person has a straightforward disposition, hates evil like a foe, incompatible with our Demon Sect. If we can use this opportunity to wear down his sharp, righteous spirit, he can truly be our junior disciple."

"Otherwise, forcing him to stay in the Demon Sect, who knows when he might defect and turn back to stab us, it would be disastrous."

The Death Demon contemplated for a moment and got up to leave.

The Yin Demon knew the Death Demon’s attitude meant acquiescence to his plan.

-----------------

The next day, the group from the Demon Sect set out.

According to the plan, the next stop should be Yumi Country.

However, the Yin Demon felt hesitant.

The Esoteric Sect is considered a branch of the Buddhist Sect, merging other teachings in Xiling, forming a unique force.

In Yumi Country, it holds a status equivalent to the Demon Sect in Xiling.

The Esoteric Sect Leader Fa Qing is a long-famous Grandmaster, his strength not to be underestimated.

His cultivation partner Consort Luo also stepped into the Divine Illumination Realm just a few years ago.

If not for the Demon Venerable being alive and the Demon Sect suppressing, the Esoteric Sect’s influence in Xiling would be far greater now!

It’s said that Chen Tang, while in Nanxia, once killed a Dharma Protector Vajra of the Esoteric Sect with bare hands.

The Esoteric Sect has only five Dharma Protector Vajras, each claimed as Vajra Reincarnation, personal disciples of the Esoteric Sect Leader.

This counts as forming a great enmity.

If they go to Yumi Country, this matter needs handling, which is inevitably tricky.

"Second senior brother."

Just as the Yin Demon hesitated, Chen Tang found him with a map, saying, "We should change our plans and avoid Yumi Country."

"Why?"

The Yin Demon pretended not to know.

Chen Tang replied, "Not hiding from you, second senior brother, I killed a Dharma Protector Vajra of the Esoteric Sect in Nanxia, forming a feud. If we go to Yumi Country, this matter will definitely make it difficult for the masters and the Demon Sect, better to avoid the Esoteric Sect and prevent conflict."

The Yin Demon frowned.

Originally, he was hesitant, but hearing this from Chen Tang made him intolerant.

This is the perfect moment for Chen Tang to experience the Demon Sect’s power and the Demon Monarch’s status.

The Yin Demon put on a stern face, saying gravely, "Junior brother, what are you talking about? We, as disciples of the Demon Venerable, represent the entire Demon Sect’s dignity in Xiling, why should we avoid others?"

"But..."

Chen Tang looked troubled, wanting to speak but held back.

The Yin Demon waved his hand, saying, "Junior brother, no need to worry, with us here, this matter will be handled well!"

Chen Tang asked, "Is it really okay to have killed the Dharma Protector Vajra?"

The Yin Demon sternly answered, "If those monks are reasonable, we’ll reason with them, Master Zagu died on the platform, you fought fairly, he lacked skills, can’t blame you."

"If those monks are unreasonable..."

The Yin Demon paused slightly, saying blandly, "Then the Esoteric Sect doesn’t need to exist in Xiling."

Chen Tang was stunned, a flicker of shock in his eyes.

The Yin Demon’s expression was calm.

But seeing Chen Tang’s reaction made him extremely satisfied.

The greater the impact on Chen Tang, the deeper the Demon Sect’s indelible mark in his heart, inducing fear and submission!

Chen Tang swallowed, saying again, "But I’ve heard, this Fa Qing high monk is a Grandmaster powerhouse, greatly respected in Yumi Country, not easy to provoke. If conflict arises, we might not have enough people."

"No matter."

The Yin Demon snorted lightly, saying, "If Monk Fa Qing refuses the peace, really dares to act, we still have your third senior brother."

"Even if Monk Fa Qing along with his Consort Ming acts, they may not be opponents of your third senior brother, no need to worry, junior brother, just relax."

Chen Tang was moved, stepping forward, tightly grasping the Yin Demon’s hands, sincerely saying, "Then it’ll be troublesome for the masters."

Chen Tang’s enthusiasm surprised the Yin Demon.

He suddenly recalled that in the past month, all the beauties sent by the nations were untouched by Chen Tang.

Could it be... junior brother has a penchant for men, a penchant for men?

Eek!

Thinking of this sent a chill through the Yin Demon’s heart, raising goosebumps all over.

The Yin Demon discreetly withdrew his hands, maintaining composure, laughing loudly saying, "Haha, junior brother, you’re too polite, these are trivial matters, trivial matters."
