Chapter 167 Deception
"Born into karma from the moment he was born, it will hinder Kong Xuan's cultivation," Yuanshi righteously admonished Tongtian, "This is all the sin of you, his master. Kong Xuan was born prematurely, who knows if it will cause any problems in the future."
"Second Brother, just tell me what you want to do?" Tongtian was speechless. Although Kong Xuan was born ahead of schedule, the consequences were definitely not as serious as Yuanshi said.
“Alright, you are my younger brother, I should take responsibility for you,” Yuanshi sighed. “Let’s leave Kong Xuan with your second brother for now, and your second brother will try to make amends for Kong Xuan.”
"Is that really true?" Tongtian was half-believing, half-doubting. When had his second brother ever been so good to him? Willingly cleaning up his messes—how could this be so unbelievable?!
Seeing this, Yuanshi did not force the issue and directly said, "If you are unwilling, your second brother will not force you. Fine, leave the Black Lotus behind. Chang Hao is at a critical moment, so you must not create karma for him."
“Second Brother, I was wrong. Let the Golden Winged Bird be born naturally, whenever it is born.” Tongtian immediately admitted his mistake. “I saw that the Jade Void Palace was missing a bird under the corridor, so I let my nephew Kong Xuan stay in the Jade Void Palace for the time being. He can sing a few songs in his spare time to relieve your boredom.”
Tongtian lowered his head and winked at Kong Xuan, saying, "Your second master uncle is unusually kind and wants to settle your karma. You'd better behave yourself while you're in the Jade Void Palace and win your second master uncle's favor."
"Chirp..." Kong Xuan blinked his small, beady eyes, indicating that he understood.
Even though Kong Xuan was still young, he understood that it was not a good thing to incur karma from birth. But if Kong Xuan had to choose, he would still choose to be born early and sincerely thank his master for choosing him from the two eggs.
Yuanshi remained noncommittal, allowing Tongtian to fuss over him. Tongtian indeed hung a small wooden swing made of paulownia wood under the corridor for Kong Xuan to stand on. He looked back every few steps, reluctant to leave Kong Xuan temporarily in Yuxu Palace.
Away from Jade Void Palace, Tongtian secretly touched the World-Destroying Black Lotus hidden in his sleeve. Luckily, the World-Destroying Black Lotus was almost lost, but fortunately, he used Kong Xuan to divert his second brother's attention.
He would go to the East Sea later to test the combination of the Black Lotus and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Every day the Black Lotus was used was one day less, and Tongtian was filled with reluctance...
Yuanshi Tianzun was very satisfied with his success in persuading Tongtian to keep Kong Xuan. He examined Kong Xuan and then went to refine elixirs for him...
Yuanshi took out a pill and gave it to Kong Xuan, saying, "Eat it, eat more so you can grow faster." He then discreetly collected the feathers that Kong Xuan had dropped while fluttering around.
Kong Xuan knew that the pill was very effective for him, and he eagerly waited for his second master to feed him the medicine every day, even though the pill had some side effects, such as hair loss.
Oh well, anyway, the feathers fall out quickly and grow back quickly, and the newly grown feathers are even more vibrant and dazzling. I suppose every phoenix sheds feathers during its growth process.
Guang Chengzi, who comes uninvited every day to serve his master, has gentle eyes. Beneath his master's cold and stern exterior lies the gentlest heart in the world. He is too pure and disliked by the world. All the slander against his master is just jealousy.
Don't be fooled by Master's cold attitude towards them every day; it's because he has high hopes for them. Senior Brother Xuandu is so ungrateful, complaining all the time. He's not acting like a proper senior brother at all.
It was his senior brother Duobao who convinced him.
The Kunlun Mountains are peaceful and serene, but the calamities between heaven and earth are ever-increasing. In the Ruins of Return, willows sway in the wind, creating a tranquil scene.
Luo Hou was furious. He and Hongjun were in such a terrible state, yet the innate demon god was living so carefree. How could he tolerate this?
"Yang Mei, get out of here!" Luo Hou slammed his fist into the barrier in anger, but unexpectedly found that the barrier's power was weakening.
Luo Hou immediately raised his eyebrows, disregarding any further discussion. "The Dao is waning while the Demonic path is rising. So that's how it is. Another great calamity is about to begin. I've finally waited for this day."
Luo Hou laughed loudly, "The Heavenly Dao's fortune is unstable and it can't even take care of itself, so of course it can't suppress my demonic path. Hongjun, you're really unlucky."
Luo Hou plotted how to make things difficult for Hongjun, hoping for the complete collapse of the Heavenly Dao. Unfortunately, no matter how weak the barrier was, it did not dissipate, and he could not leave the Demon Realm.
If one were to forcefully send out demonic energy, the journey would be long, and by the time it reached the person he wished to bewitch, the power of the bewitchment would have long since dissipated, making it impossible to induce inner demons in them.
Yangmei revealed a face on the tree trunk. "Luo Hou, where else can I go if I'm not here? Chaos is Hongjun's territory, and this is the only place in the prehistoric world where the Heavenly Dao's control is weakest. The Heavenly Dao will not forgive us innate demon gods." Yangmei said innocently.
"I have never seen a primordial demon god as cowardly as you. Go and cause trouble in the prehistoric world. Are you still a primordial demon god?" Luo Hou was furious. They were fighting Pangu, and this guy only cared about escaping. "Cowardly, incompetent, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, you have disgraced the primordial demon god."
"You two are pretty tough, one half-dead and the other a Dao cultivator, quite capable." Yang Mei admitted that he was indeed cowardly, incompetent, and a bully who preyed on the weak, but so what?
At least he is living well now. He doesn't have to worry about being killed by another innate demon god to seize his power of law, nor does he have to worry about being punished by the Heavenly Dao.
Luo Hou was so angry he almost fell over. What value did this guy have besides his innate divine and demonic body?
Luo Hou stroked his chin, gazing at the only large tree in his demon realm. Its dark leaves and blood-red flowers looked sinister and terrifying. If that treacherous Jin Guang saw it, who knows how he would ridicule him.
Rahu was ultimately reluctant to use his own flesh and blood to nourish the demon realm, but wasn't there a vibrant innate demon god's body right in front of him?
He's such a useless piece of trash, yet he's making good use of it, generously helping Yang Mei realize his value.
Luo Hou was plotting how to send Yang Mei to her death.
Tell Yang Mei that the golden light that extracted his Primordial Purple Qi from the Chaos is still alive in the primordial world? Let Yang Mei take revenge?
The next second, Luo Hou immediately rejected the plan. If Yang Mei, that cowardly fellow, saw that the golden light was stronger than when it was in chaos, he would definitely run away without a trace and would never dare to take revenge.
He needs to confuse the public and make Yangmei mistake someone else for someone else so that he can instigate another great calamity in the primordial world. If he plans carefully, even the Heavenly Dao might collapse.
"Yang Mei, do you still remember the guy who extracted your Primordial Purple Qi from the Primordial Era?" Luo Hou said with ill intent.
"I remember." Yang Mei forgot that Pangu could not possibly forget the guy who stole his Primordial Purple Qi. After all, Pangu had not caused him any real harm, but that guy had destroyed the Primordial Purple Qi, which meant a glimmer of hope for survival.
It is important to know that it was thanks to this glimmer of hope that Yang Mei was able to turn danger into safety multiple times.
"I know his whereabouts, and I can tell you, but you must do a few things for me first." Luo Hou pondered which influential primordial beings he should try to corrupt their inner demons.
This is a rare opportunity, so we must plan carefully.
"What? He's still alive?" Yang Mei was startled at first, then shrank back. "Never mind, I don't need to know where he is. Anyway, I'm no match for him."
"You're really useless..." Luo Hou twitched his lips. No way, he'd better make sure Yang Mei was completely fooled before he was not Luo Hou.
