"Demon?"
Ling Xian laughed, "You are a demon, a demon respected by countless people. You think I am a demon?"
"Are you not?"
The demon glared at Ling Xian, "You threatened me time and time again. If I don't comply, you used the Demon Defending Monument to suppress me. You call that not a demon?"
"Now that you put it that way, it does make sense." Ling Xian smiled.
Like my ass!
That was clearly the case, alright!
The demon cursed silently but didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, "Speak. What do you want me to do?"
"Can't I simply catch up with you?" Ling Xian raised an eyebrow.
"Don't joke around. Do you think I am that easy to fool?"
The demon spoke softly, "Though we went through thick and thin together, it was merely a business deal. Plus, if you truly wanted to catch up with me, you wouldn't have suppressed me so easily. "
"That's right."
Ling Xian nodded and flapped around his sleeve. Two white jade teacups appeared out of nowhere. Then, the spiritual spring water and the Petal of Enlightenment fell into the teacups. Aroma filled the air for miles.
"Tea of Enlightenment … good stuff." The demon's eyes brightened.
"Demon, please."
Ling Xian extended his left hand and gestured for the demon to drink.
At this, the demon didn't hold back. He picked up the white jade teacup and took a sip. He couldn't help but to be drunk.
Ling Xian picked up the teacup as well and sipped on the tea. He smiled, "You are right. It's just that I truly want to be friends with you. No matter what, we have been through thick and thin together. "
"Then swear to the heavens that you will never use the Demon Defending Monument to suppress me. Then, I will believe you." The demon's face was full of anticipation as he stared at Ling Xian.
"I can't do that."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "If I make an oath, I bet you will suppress me right away."
"Then why are you talking about being friends? You are a liar, a liar!" The demon was furious. If it weren't for the Demon Defending Monument, he would've gone crazy.
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. Then, his smile disappeared, "Alright, I won't beat around the bush. I have a favor to ask of you."
"Forget it! Even though you and I are not enemies, we are no longer friends. There is no reason for me to help you anymore. "The Honor Demon was in a fit of anger and refused.
"You rejected me so bluntly, it's too hurtful. If that's the case, I might not be able to resist using the Demon Suppressing Monument. "
Ling Xian chuckled. The black monument above his head began to shine with light, as if it could suppress all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.
At once, the demon shuddered and his eyes revealed deep fear.
At this, Ling Xian revealed a victorious smile, "What about now? Are you still going to reject me?"
Reject your grandpa!
Threatening me with the Demon Suppressing Monument again!
"Aye, to be honest, if you didn't have the Demon Defending Monument, I would skin you alive and mince you. Then, I'll make you into a human meat bun and swallow you into my stomach. "
The Honor Demon heaved a long sigh. He was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"Sadly, there are no ifs. The Demon Defending Monument is in my hands, and I happen to know the method to activate and refine it."
Ling Xian's expression remained calm and was not at all affected by what the Honor Demon was saying.
Ignoring the fact that he had the Demon Defending Monument, even if he didn't, he wasn't afraid of the demon's threat.
"Yeah, there are no ifs."
The Honor Demon sighed, "Speak. What did you do this time?"
"I didn't do anything. I merely made some preparations just in case."
Ling Xian shook his head, "I need to take something from the Shang Qing Sect. There is a chance that I will be discovered, but the chance of that is low."
"The Shang Qing Sect?"
The Honor Demon's expression changed, "You sure know how to cause trouble. You even dare to plot against the Shang Qing Sect. Even if you are tired of living, you cannot drag me down with you."
"You are the Honor Demon, a fifth leveled powerhouse. Are you afraid of the Shang Qing Sect?" Ling Xian frowned, not expecting the Honor Demon to react so strongly.
"You said it yourself, that was in the past."
The Honor Demon bitterly chuckled, "Plus, even if I am a fifth leveled powerhouse, I do not want to provoke the Shang Qing Sect."
"The Shang Qing Sect is that powerful? Even fifth leveled powerhouses don't dare to provoke them? "Ling Xian's frown deepened.
"As one of the giants of Yuezhou, the Shang Qing Sect has existed for countless years. There is no way they don't have fifth leveled powerhouses. I also know some secrets. The Shang Qing Sect has a secret technique that allows them to summon the spirits of the dead. It is extremely terrifying. "
The Honor Demon's expression was serious, "So I am warning you, don't even think about plotting against the Shang Qing Sect."
"Summon the spirits of the dead?"
Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. He only knew that there were fifth leveled powerhouses in the Shang Qing Sect, but he never knew about this. He also believed that the Honor Demon wouldn't lie to him.
In other words, if he is discovered by the Shang Qing Sect, then he will be in danger!
This made his expression change and he felt a pressure he has never felt before.
"Aye, give up. Though I don't know what you are going to take, I do know that once you are discovered by the Shang Qing Sect, nobody can save you. "
The Honor Demon sighed, hoping that Ling Xian would give up. That way, he wouldn't have to risk himself.
Sadly, he was disappointed again.
"No, I can't give up."
Ling Xian's expression was determined. That fortune was related to the future of the world and it was related to whether or not he can reach the pinnacle. Therefore, even though he was unlucky enough to encounter that giant monster, he didn't want to give up.
Plus, as long as he plans carefully, he shouldn't be discovered by the Shang Qing Sect.
"You!"
The Honor Demon froze. Seeing Ling Xian's determined expression, he swallowed what he was about to say. Though he hasn't known Ling Xian for a long time, he knew very well how stubborn this young man was.
As long as he made up his mind, he wouldn't change it easily.
"Demon, there is no need to try and convince me. As long as I plan carefully, the Shang Qing Sect won't find out."
Ling Xian shook his head and looked at the Honor Demon in a serious manner, "I am not asking you to fight with me. I just want you to help me when I am in danger."
"You mean, if you are unlucky enough to be discovered by the Shang Qing Sect, you want me to help you stop a few powerhouses?" The Honor Demon frowned.
"That's right." Ling Xian nodded, "Same as last time. You only need to stop them and buy me some time."
"But this time, my opponents are not on the same level." The Honor Demon sighed. Even he didn't want to provoke a giant like the Shang Qing Sect.
"I wonder if you are willing to accompany me into the tiger's den?" The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, he was confident and at ease.
This unparalleled elegance made even the Honor Demon exclaim.
Looking at the smiling young man before him, he bitterly smiled, "Do I have a chance to say no?"
"You don't."
Ling Xian teased, "If you say no, then I will defeat you right now."
"Oh well. I, the Honor Demon, have traveled across the world and rarely meet an opponent. Why would I be afraid of the Shang Qing Sect?" The Honor Demon smiled proudly. His demonic energy poured out of him, shocking everything in the area.
Ling Xian's eyes revealed a look of shock. He didn't think the Honor Demon had such courage. However, the Honor Demon's next statement made him speechless.
"Alright, I am so scared."
The Honor Demon's expression changed and he looked like he was about to cry, "Ling Xian, you have to plan this out well. You cannot let the Shang Qing Sect find out."
"You are afraid before the battle even begins. Demon, you …" Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile, unsure of what to say.
"You think I want to? That is the Shang Qing Sect, one of the most powerful forces in Yuezhou!"
The Honor Demon sighed, "Let's make this clear. You have to swear to the heavens that if I help you, you will never use the Demon Defending Monument to suppress me."
"Not a problem."
Ling Xian brightly grinned, knowing that the Honor Demon was dealt with. Next, it was time to plan his fortune.
"Then swear it. The sooner we finish this, the sooner I can enjoy my carefree life." The Honor Demon urged.
Ling Xian nodded softly and his expression turned serious. Then, he extended three fingers and pointed at the sky. He swore to the heavens.
The content stated that if the Honor Demon tries his best to help, then he will never be able to use the Demon Defending Monument to suppress the Honor Demon.
After the oath was made, the sky darkened. Then, a thunderous rumble echoed, signifying that the oath was in effect.
If any party disobeys, they will be punished by God and turn into dust.
"Not bad, not bad. Now I don't have to worry about you cheating."
The Honor Demon smiled in satisfaction and the giant rock in his heart finally landed. However, when he remembered the giant Shang Qing Sect, he was immediately shrouded in a shadow.
He could only silently pray that Ling Xian's plan was flawless and that the Shang Qing Sect didn't find out.
Ling Xian was praying as well. After what the Honor Demon said, he had reevaluated the Shang Qing Sect's capabilities. His conclusion was that if he is found out by the Sect, then he will die for sure. He has no chance of winning.
That fortune was also very important and he had to get his hands on it. Therefore, he had to make sure his plan was perfect and flawless.
"The Honor Demon alone is not enough. I have to get the mysterious man inside the Volcano of Demons."
Ling Xian thought to himself, "Though I am not sure what cultivation level that man has, to be able to be suppressed by the Shang Qing Sect's elders and survive inside the Volcano of Demons for so many years, he must be a terrifying powerhouse."
"Then it's decided. When I return to the Shang Qing Sect, I will first save that man and repay him for helping me suppress my inner demon."
Ling Xian made up his mind and straightened his back, "Demon, let's go. It's time for us to move."
"We are moving now? I say, in any case, we're on the same boat. Shouldn't you tell me the truth? How confident are you? "
The Honor Demon stared at Ling Xian, hoping to hear some good news from him.
"I am 99% confident that I won't be found out by the Shang Qing Sect. But if I am, then the two of us will have to pray that we will find a good family in our next lives."
Ling Xian softly grinned. His expression was as calm as ever.
There are many things in this world that you cannot avoid even if you know it's dangerous. That fortune was something he had to do.
Whether he was stubborn or stupid, he wasn't going to give up.
Of course, he wasn't going to do something he knew he was going to die. The reason why he was going was because he had some confidence.
"I feel like I am on a pirate's ship …"
The Honor Demon's face looked like he was about to cry, "Ling Xian, can you let me go? I have more than 100 concubines at home. If I die, what are they going to do? "
"That won't do. Since you are on the ship, then come on shore with me."
Ling Xian's smile didn't diminish as he stared in the direction of the Shang Qing Sect and mumbled, "Don't worry, I will not let this ship sink to the bottom of the ocean."
