407 What a shameless bastard, he even dares to acknowledge his son?
The demon in the Tribulation Period guarding this place is none other than Jiang Xiao’s former right-hand man - Chen Pan.
Others may not be clear about the weight of the four words "Tiancheng Lingjie", but Shen Pan, as the governor of the demon world, understands what it means better than anyone else.
"What do you want to do?" He stared at the second elder and the other two warily, forcibly suppressing the spiritual energy surging in his body, but his whole body was like a sword drawn from its sheath, ready to strike out at any time.
Mu Zisong and Ao Yu both used their internal energy to defend themselves, ready to attack at any time.
The second elder smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, little brother. We are here to save the demon world."
Chen Pan didn't believe it: "Aren't you three aware of the grudges between the two worlds?"
The second elder said in an orderly manner: "Let's put it one way or the other. You attacked the Tiancheng Spirit Realm because the Demon Realm was dying, and Jiang Xiao wanted to find a way out for the people in the Demon Realm."
"Now that we have discovered why the demon world is dying, we would like to discuss countermeasures with you."
Chen Pan still didn't believe it: "You guys would be so kind?"
The second elder smiled and said, "I've said it before, the reason the Demon Realm is like this is because the Devourer is secretly absorbing the vitality and spiritual energy of the Demon Realm. When the Demon Realm dies completely, the next unlucky one will be the Tiancheng Spirit Realm. We are saving you, but we are also saving ourselves."
"How do I know whether the Devourer you mentioned is real or fake?" Shen Pan asked.
The Second Elder did not have any evidence to prove the existence of the Devourer, but she was well prepared and took out a piece of soft black hair from the Sumeru Ring.
This short piece of black hair looked very ordinary, but when the Second Elder used spiritual fire to burn it, it didn't burn it at all.
Shen Pan sensed a familiar aura from it, hesitated for a moment, and then a small burst of thunder popped out.
The thunder touched the end of the black hair and bounced back twice, almost injuring Shen Pan, causing him to exclaim: "Your Majesty?" He looked at the second elder in disbelief and asked anxiously, "What did you do to His Majesty?"
The second elder smiled happily: "Don't worry, your Majesty is fine. I showed you this just because I want you to know that the news I'm talking about is also the news that Jiang Xiao wants to convey to you."
It was the second time that Ao Yu heard Jiang Xiao's name. He felt confused and secretly asked Mu Zisong, "Is Zhizhi talking about my son?"
Mu Zisong rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.
This bastard is so shameless, he even dares to acknowledge his son?
Ao Yu was so confused that he didn't notice his rolling eyes. He sent a message again: "Why did I hear Zhizhi calling 'Jiang Xiao' and she was talking about the Demon Lord? She wouldn't be so bold as to name her child after the Demon Lord, would she?"
Mu Zisong still ignored him, but this time it was not out of dissatisfaction between rivals, but because he began to panic.
After reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage, one will be able to have a certain degree of Heavenly Sensitivity. The Heavenly Sensitivity of the Mahayana cultivators will be even higher.
As long as they don't want to die, no one would name their child after a Mahayana Demon Lord.
It can't even be a coincidence, because when naming, personal inspiration will make people subconsciously avoid such names.
Recalling the magical powers displayed by Jiang Xin and Jiang Xiao when they fought Jing Yunpeng and others before, Mu Zisong now suspected that the little guy was the incarnation of the Demon Lord.
Although he had never targeted Jiang Xiao, he almost injured Jiang Xiao by mistake while pursuing Zhi Zhi. He didn't know whether the Demon Lord would hold a grudge against him.
There is another little guy, Jiang Xin. I wonder who he is and why he looks even more powerful than Jiang Xiao?
Could it be that Jiang Yichen could really give birth to such a promising daughter?
Mu Zisong was brainstorming and wanted to ask several times, but he held back because the Second Elder was still exchanging witticisms with Shen Pan.
The Second Elder specifically asked Jiang Xiao for this strand of Jiang Xiao's hair before coming to the Demon Realm.
The little guy was very easy to talk to. Although he didn't know what the Second Elder was going to do with them, he obediently let her cut a bunch of them.
When receiving the elixirs and talismans as compensation from the Second Elder, Jiang Xiao was particularly generous and gave a portion to Jiang Xin, which made Jiang Xin feel embarrassed. She asked the Second Elder if he wanted to cut a lock of his hair as well.
Seeing that Shen Pan had calmed down because of Jiang Xiao's hair, the second elder said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce myself, my slave Gu Qingzhi."
Chen Pan retracted his gaze from the black hair and replied in a deep voice: "I'm Chen Pan."
"My name is Mu Zisong."
"My name is Ao Yu."
After the four people briefly introduced themselves, the second elder said, "The Devourer left here because he mistakenly believed that the Demon Realm was dead. But now he has discovered that the Demon Realm is still alive and is looking for traces of the Demon Realm in the Astral Realm. Once he finds it, the remaining vitality and spiritual energy of the Demon Realm will be sucked dry. At that time, everyone in the Demon Realm will die."
Chen Pan was still skeptical: "The vitality of the demon world is indeed sparse, but it has recovered a lot over the years. How do I know whether what you said is true or not?"
Ao Yu snorted, "This is just a little bit of life after recovery. How many years will it take for you to recover to the original state?"
Shen Pan did not answer but asked: "According to what you said, the Devourer's realm is far higher than ours, how can we defeat him?"
This question stumped the Second Elder, and she did not give a direct answer: "First we must realize that the Devourer is our common enemy, only then can we proceed to the next step. Otherwise, even if you conquer the Tiancheng Spirit Realm and seek a glimmer of hope for the demon race, it will be useless, because the Devourer has already locked onto the location of the Tiancheng Spirit Realm, and will go there sooner or later to suck everything dry."
"Then why doesn't he go there now? Instead, he turns around and looks for the Demon Realm?" Shen Pan asked.
"Because we have the Immortal Master Mingchen." The second elder said proudly.
Hearing this name, Shen Pan frowned unconsciously: "Is she really still alive?"
The second elder cleverly skipped this question and went straight to the essence: "The Immortal Venerable has set up a protective barrier for the Tiancheng Spirit Realm, which has temporarily saved all the sentient beings in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm and prevented the Devourer from descending. But the Demon Realm has no barrier. As long as the Devourer finds your exact location, it can descend at any time. What will you do then?"
As an eyewitness of the battle between spirits and demons a hundred thousand years ago, Chen Pan knew how terrifying Immortal Master Mingchen was, and she also knew that there was no one in the demon world with the same combat power as her who could set up a barrier of the same power.
He learned a lot of information about the Devourer from the Second Elder. If this thing really came to the Demon Realm, everyone would die.
"You just said that you are here to save the demon world. How do you plan to save them?" Shen Pan asked the second elder.
The second elder smiled sweetly: "Can you make the decision in the demon world?"
An unnatural look flashed across Shen Pan's face, but he quickly returned to normal: "I am the Archon of the Demon Realm."
"Why did I hear that in addition to the Archons, there are also Demon Lords and elders in the Demon Realm?" asked the second elder.
"If it's for the good of the entire demon world, I'm sure I can convince the elders."
Ao Yu was always concerned about the name "Jiang Xiao" and couldn't help asking, "What about the Demon Lord?"
Chen Pan asked suspiciously, "Haven't you already met His Majesty and come here to convey His Majesty's intentions?"
Ao Yu was silent for a moment.
Mu Zisong cursed inwardly: "Idiot."
The Second Elder sighed and said, "He has never seen it. He came here on a whim and is not familiar with these things."
Shen Pan had always been skeptical about what the Second Elder said. He didn’t find any loopholes at this moment, so he didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he asked about what he cared about most: “How do you plan to save the Demon Realm?”
"I can't make the decision on this matter alone." said the second elder.
"Then find someone who can make the decision." Shen Pan said impatiently.
He was a little anxious. He believed most of what the Devourer said and felt that it wouldn't be long before this person came to the Demon Realm.
Before that, he had to come up with a plan to deal with it.
Mu Zisong was dissatisfied with his attitude towards the Second Elder: "Why are you so anxious? You speak as if you alone can make the decision in the entire Demon Realm. If you have the ability, call all the elders of the Demon Realm first."
"I'll call them over, can you also call the person in charge?" Shen Pan asked.
Just as he was about to call for help, Mu Zisong suddenly fell silent.
The three of them came out in a hurry and only had a brief discussion before leaving, but did not elect a leader.
In the absence of Immortal Venerable Mingchen, the many cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm are not willing to submit to each other, and it is unclear who will be the one in charge for a while.
Especially since the three of them were only in the initial stage of tribulation, they could not dominate those old monsters who were at the peak of tribulation.
Ao Yu and Mu Zisong simultaneously thought about the possibility of persuading their own ancestor who was at the peak of tribulation.
The second elder was much more relaxed, as she only had one person in charge, and that was Taoist Master Zhuyue.
Based on her understanding of her master, as long as the demons do not cause trouble and ensure to live in harmony with the sentient beings in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm, Taoist Master Zhuyue will accept the demons to temporarily live in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm.
But before that, she had to find Taoist Master Zhuyue.
The second elder smiled and said, "Before that, I would like to ask you for some information. Have you seen this person?"
The second elder raised his slender white jade hand, concentrated his spiritual power in his palm, and soon took on the appearance of Taoist Master Zhuyue.
When they saw him, Mu Zisong and Ao Yu both gritted their teeth, and their demonic power splashed everywhere.
Chen Pan glanced at the two of them in confusion, and after making sure that the anger was not directed at him, he took a step back silently and wisely, not understanding what the two were angry about.
He carefully examined the appearance of Daoist Master Zhuyue and shook his head: "I have never seen him. Are you sure he is in our Demon Realm?"
"Not sure." The second elder looked helpless, "I just saw him being besieged by several demons."
Just from looking at this, Shen Pan couldn't tell the Taoist Master Zhuyue's cultivation level, but since he was able to cross the star realm and come to the demon realm, it was expected that his cultivation level was not low.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is this person's cultivation level?"
"It turned out to be the Tribulation Crossing Stage. I don't know why it became the Fusion Stage when it came to your Demon Realm." Ao Yu said unhappily.
"We haven't confirmed that the person is in our Demon Realm." Chen Pan refuted, thinking that the Second Elder was easier to communicate with. "I will go to the area where the demons are active in the near future. If I can find this Taoist friend, I will definitely inform Taoist friend Gu. I just don't know what the relationship between the two is?"
"They have nothing to do with it!" Mu Zisong said unhappily.
Chen Pan always felt that the atmosphere between these three people was weird.
He was an outsider and didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs. The reason he asked this question was simply because he was afraid that his words were not reliable and that even if he found Taoist Master Zhuyue, the other party would not believe him.
Chen Pan pursued efficiency in his work. He could see that the Second Elder was the boss among the three people, so he said to the Second Elder directly: "Or you can give me a token."
"You're dreaming!" Ao Yu and Mu Zisong refused in unison.
The way they were protecting their food aroused the curiosity of Shen Pan, who did not want to get involved. He looked at the three of them and asked thoughtfully, "What is the relationship between you three?"
Mu Zisong held his head high and said, "I am Zhizhi's Taoist partner."
"You're talking nonsense! I am Zhizhi's Taoist partner!" Ao Yu shouted angrily and straightened his back.
Chen Pan's eyebrows were raised high along the two men's backs that were almost arched, and then he looked at the charming appearance of the second elder, and suddenly he realized.
It turns out that this female cultivator in the Tribulation Period is actually a Mei cultivator!
Could it be that this guy named Zhuyue is also her lover, which is why he is hated by these two?
Chen Pan thought he had found the truth, and said to the Second Elder: "The three Taoist friends please take a rest for a while, I will send someone to look for Taoist friend Zhuyue."
There aren't many inhabited places in the demon world, so we should be able to find it quickly.
"Thank you." The second elder expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"Fellow Daoist, please follow me into the mansion and rest." Chen Pan gestured with his finger in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
The second elder looked at the cave atop the mountain and declined with a smile: "Daoyou, you don't have to greet us. This is our first time in the Demon Realm, and we want to walk around and take a look."
Chen Pan knew that he couldn't keep them, so he didn't force them: "Okay, please do as you please, three Taoist friends."
He used his spiritual power to write a rune in the air and handed it to the second elder, "If you need to find me for something, you can activate this rune."
This is a way of communicating in the demon world. After using one's own spiritual power to activate the runes, one can contact the owner of the runes within a certain distance.
The second elder was not stingy either. She took out a communication jade token and was about to give it to Chen Pan, but Mu Zisong and Ao Yu stopped her at the same time and took out a communication jade token and handed it to Chen Pan.
Chen Pan couldn't help but laugh: "The three Taoist friends are really generous."
Ao Yu snorted coldly: "I just don't want you to take Zhizhi's things."
Chen Pan smiled and didn't bother with the two jealous men. He took the communication jade tokens from them and figured out how to use them with just a glance.
After the two sides exchanged contact information, Shen Pan said goodbye and left.
In addition to sending people to look for Taoist Master Zhuyue, he also had to find the elders as soon as possible to report the matter of the Devourer.
Another thing is that Chen Pan is a little concerned about Jiang Xiao's affairs.
The body of Demon Lord Jiang Xiao is still sealed in the spiritual realm of the demon world, but when the elders stabbed Jiang Xiao in the back, he vaguely sensed that some of Jiang Xiao's power flowed into the Tiancheng spiritual world.
Chen Pan had never told anyone about this matter, and had always wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Tiancheng spiritual world alone to find out what was going on.
But he couldn't find the exact path to the Tiancheng spiritual world.
This time when he returned to the capital, Chen Pan decided not to mention anything related to Jiang Xiao, and only talked about the Devourer.
I hope that even if the elders have a falling out with him, they can still consider the overall situation.
Shen Pan thought secretly about how to convince the elders and soon walked away, not noticing Ao Yu and Mu Zisong, who were so jealous in the city that they were about to materialize.
"Zhizhi, the message has been delivered, let's go back." Ao Yu said.
Mu Zisong rarely agreed with his point of view: "There is nothing fun in this barren demon world. They are trying to suck our vitality all day long. They are simply asking for their own death."
"If you want to go back, go back. I haven't finished my work yet." The second elder was really worried about Taoist Zhuyue, so he shook off the hands of the two and strode forward.
Mu Zisong and Ao Yu looked at each other and exchanged a look that only they could understand.
The next moment, the two men attacked the second elder at the same time.
Even if Zhizhi is taken away by force, she cannot be allowed to see Zhuyue.
Otherwise, when Zhuyue recovers and fights one against two, both of them won't have any chance of winning, and he and Zhizhi will never be able to continue their love!
