How the hell would I know what the Demon Venerable had stolen?
Chen Luoyang rolled his eyes at the Demon Venerable's words.
Since he didn't know what it was, he couldn't be sure if the real Demon Venerable cared about it or to what extent.
Then what kind of attitude should I, Chen, take?
The Demon Lord had made it clear that the stolen treasure was in his hands, and it seemed like he was going to make a deal with the Demon Lord. In that case, to the Demon Lord, what kind of bargaining chip was acceptable, and what kind of price was unacceptable?
Chen Luoyang's mind was racing.
He asked nonchalantly, "Is it in your hands?"
The Demon Venerable smiled, "Of course. I'm here today to discuss a deal with you sincerely."
Chen Luoyang used the Demon Venerable's remains and said casually, "A deal?"
Based on the Demon Venerable's arrogance in the past, if the Demon Venerable wanted a certain treasure in the Mortal World, he should have come directly to compare the size of his fist.
If he wanted to test Old Demon Tang, he should have done the same.
Now that he was being so polite, showing goodwill, and acting like it was a fair deal, there must be another reason.
If it wasn't his own Mountain and Sea Realm, then it must be related to the Qingwei Realm, Saha Realm, and the other four realms.
The Demon Venerable had arranged a battle with Young Master Tian from the Xihe Realm. This Demon Venerable might have a bigger enemy, so he didn't want to make more enemies.
In fact, the Demon Venerable was indeed testing him today, but to test the possibility of an alliance.
However, lowering his stance right from the start was not good for the negotiation. What was the Demon Venerable trying to do?
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Luoyang's mind. On the other side, the Demon Venerable said, "It is indeed a deal. Old Demon Tang, you don't have to be so suspicious. I'm still waiting to see your battle with Young Master Tian."
Chen Luoyang said calmly, "What do you want to trade?"
"I want the Jun Tian dagger that the Human Emperor used in the past." The Demon Venerable said.
Chen Luoyang wanted to roll his eyes again.
Who the hell knew where it was?
Was it hidden somewhere in the Mortal World, or was it in the hands of the real Demon Venerable?
Wait … Feng Ang said that it was about the Human Emperor and that the Demon Venerable wanted to meet the Demon Venerable.
If the item was in the hands of the Demon Venerable, it meant that it had nothing to do with the Human Sovereign.
Thinking of this, Chen Luoyang gradually sorted out his thoughts.
The so-called Jun Tian Dagger was still in the hands of the Human Emperor.
But if the Human Emperor was still alive, the Demon Venerable could just look for the Human Emperor. Instead of looking for the Red Dust Master, the Demon Venerable, that thing was most likely in … the Human Emperor's Mausoleum?
This proved from another angle that the Human Sovereign had really fallen.
Does the Human Emperor's Mausoleum really exist, and is it in the Mortal World?
"Why disturb the rest of the dead?"
Chen Luoyang guessed as he dealt with his opponent without batting an eyelid.
The Emperor's Mausoleum was really in the Mortal World, and there were burial objects in it. The Demon Venerables did not take anything, and if the Demon Venerables wanted to touch the mausoleum, they had to consider the Demon Venerables' attitude.
From the looks of it, the relationship between the Demon Venerable and the Human Emperor, the two rulers of the Mortal World, was indeed friends and not enemies.
"You buried him with your own hands, including the Jun Tian Dagger. It's not surprising that you don't want to be disturbed. But Old Demon Tang, let's not beat around the bush. He already has an inheritor. Given time, the inheritor will open the mausoleum to inherit his legacy. You won't stop him from having his own inheritor, right?" The Demon Venerable sneered, "I'm not interested in other things. I just want to take the Jun Tian Dagger."
Chen Luoyang deliberately kept silent for a while and then said again, "Then let's wait for his inheritor."
"Sure." The Demon Venerable smiled and said, "I'm still patient."
"You can't do it yourself." Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "Then send someone to do it."
The Demon Venerable was surprised, "You're afraid that I'll go against a dead man?"
Chen Luoyang said unhurriedly, "This old man will not step into it either."
Amidst the bloody storm, there seemed to be a pair of eyes brighter than the sun and moon staring at the dark palace in front of them.
Chen Luoyang seemed to be able to feel the other's gaze pass through the palace and look at the Demon Venerable's remains.
Black mist curled around the remains, blocking the other's gaze.
The entire palace seemed to be shrouded in black mist as well, entangling with the bloody storm outside.
The powerful aura made even Bie Donglai and Feng Ang feel pressured.
To be honest, Chen Luoyang didn't want to clash with an existence like the Demon Venerable right now.
On one hand, he didn't have much capital, and he had a powerful enemy like Young Master Tian.
On the other hand, he wasn't sure how much power the Demon Venerable's remains had.
Even though he had killed Ling Cang and Jiang Yi with a single move, the Demon Venerable was clearly an opponent on a different level. Would the same move reveal his true strength?
Not being able to completely kill Jiang Yi was already a problem.
If he really did clash head-on, he would have to borrow the power of the artifact in the cauldron that hadn't been refined yet. That wasn't something he could handle.
However, facing the Demon Venerable in front of him, he still had to maintain a strong attitude.
Otherwise, the Demon Venerable wouldn't have been so easy to talk to.
"Then Feng Ang it is," the Demon Venerable said nonchalantly as the bloody storm subsided.
Chen Luoyang nodded to himself.
He had made the right bet.
This Feng Ang had come to the Demon Venerable's side to deliver the visiting card, so he had probably been prepared to take on this task.
"Sure," he said casually through the Demon Venerable's remains.
The black mist around the palace also dissipated.
"I'll stay in the mortal world. When the Human Emperor's Tomb opens, I'll take the Jun Tian Dagger-Axe," the Demon Venerable said. "Old Demon Tang, you don't mind, right?"
"As long as you follow the rules, it's fine," Chen Luoyang said indifferently.
The Demon Venerable laughed. "Good."
He raised his hand, and a black shadow floated out. "This is what you wanted."
It wasn't clear whether it was arrogance or sincerity, but the Great Demon was very straightforward and directly offered up his bargaining chip.
Seeing this, Bie Donglai took it and brought it into the palace.
Chen Luoyang used the Demon Venerable's remains to sense it. It seemed to be a rock made of some unknown material.
This was the treasure that was stolen by that nameless Senior Brother of his?
Chen Luoyang temporarily suppressed his doubts and said indifferently, "If that's the case, I won't keep you any longer. Please do."
The Demon Venerable chuckled. "I look forward to your battle with Young Master Tian."
The bloody demonic wind disappeared from the dark grotto-heaven.
Feng Ang, who had transformed into his human form, bowed toward the palace again. "Junior thanks the Demon Venerable for borrowing the mortal world."
Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "You want to walk in the mortal world?"
Feng Ang replied, "Junior wants to find the successor of the Human Emperor and also wants to meet the Demon Venerable.
If I want to enter the Human Emperor's Tomb to take the Jun Tian Dagger-Axe, I believe I'll have to deal with the two of them. It's better to discuss things in advance than to have a conflict later.
Since junior wants to walk in the mortal world, I naturally don't want to cause trouble for the Demon Venerable. "
In his opinion, even though it was the Human Emperor's Tomb, the Demon Venerable who personally buried the Human Emperor would know where the tomb was. As the successor of the Demon Venerable, Chen Luoyang might be able to join in the fun.
As for the successor of the Human Emperor, there was no need to even mention it.
Chen Luoyang sized him up. Even though this demon was humble in front of the "Demon Venerable," he couldn't be underestimated. His strength was comparable to a Martial Venerable of the Human Race. In the Mountain and Sea Realm, he would definitely be a big shot under the Demon Venerable.
When he stood next to Bie Donglai, their auras were about the same. In fact, he was probably even more powerful than some of the big shots in the mortal world.
If they really entered the Human Emperor's Tomb and fought over it with their own abilities, Feng Ang might be able to win.
However, his goal wasn't to return empty-handed. He was 100% certain that he would get the Jun Tian Dagger-Axe.
Even though the Demon Venerable and the Demon Venerable had an agreement, since Feng Ang had been ordered to enter the Human Emperor's Tomb, he couldn't lose face for the Mountain and Sea Realm.
He would stay in the mortal world and enter the Human Emperor's Tomb, instead of taking the Jun Tian Dagger-Axe and handing it over to the Mountain and Sea Realm. This was a small competition between the two paragons using their subordinates.
He wasn't in the mood to compete with Chen Luoyang and Xu Ruotong right now. However, he did want to get to know the most famous rising star of the mortal world.
A deep and dignified voice came from the main hall. "As long as you follow the rules, you can do whatever you want."
In the mortal world, there were hundreds of rivers running into the sea, and many sects were mixed together. Even though there hadn't been such a top Greater Demon before, Buddhism, Daoism, and Devil Dao existed in the world together, and they often fought and killed each other. The Demon Venerable had never cared about them, so adding Feng Ang to the mix didn't matter.
However, the mortal world was the mortal world. Once you entered the mortal world, you were a person of the mortal world. It was a taboo to be a traitor.
After the Demon Venerable came out of seclusion, the Bitter Sea Devil Buddha bloodline immediately dared to clash with the Western Paradise, and they no longer avoided the Saha Realm.
Feng Ang could fight for himself in the mortal world, but he couldn't easily invite other Greater Demons from the Mountain and Sea Realm over, unless the Demon Venerable agreed.
"Junior understands." Feng Ang, who looked like a tall youth, bowed.
"Go," Chen Luoyang ordered.
Feng Ang immediately took his leave.
Bie Donglai looked at him from the side and grinned. "You look like a tough opponent. Are you interested in sparring with me?"
"There will be a chance." Feng Ang smiled and left the Dark Paradise. He revealed his true form, a huge single-winged horse, and disappeared.
In the Dark Paradise, Chen Luoyang's attention was focused on the treasure the Demon Venerable had given him, and he carefully analyzed its mysteries.
But soon, his mind trembled, and he turned back to his true self.
This horse was really fast, and it was really direct.
It had openly come to the East Zhou Dynasty's capital, Heavenly Seal City.
Speaking of which, how did the Mountain and Sea Realm know so well about the appearance of the Human Emperor's successor?
In the mortal world, there were only a few people who had confirmed the news about the East Zhou Empress. Many people were just guessing.
Did it have something to do with the Demon Venerable's so-called Jun Tian Spear?
Before the banquet ended, an uninvited guest arrived outside the city.
Chen Luoyang sat still and let the Empress handle it.
The people of the East Zhou Dynasty were very uneasy.
Chen Luoyang and the Ancient God were still in the city, but there were experts outside the city. Who knew if they had any contact?
Fortunately, the Empress and Feng Ang didn't fight, which made the officials of the East Zhou Dynasty breathe a sigh of relief.
After a while, the Empress returned to the palace with Feng Ang, who was in human form.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell that a Greater Demon was in human form, but Chen Luoyang, Cheng Shuzhi, Xu Qizhen, and the others could naturally tell.
The people of the East Zhou Dynasty were stunned. The Empress waved at Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang stood up unhurriedly and left the banquet with the East Zhou Empress and Feng Ang.
