However, since entering the demon realm, he has found the situation there to be extremely complicated. He had no idea how his demon realm interface was locked or how to open it. He had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea and planned to meet with Xi Fu when he had time, ask him about the cause and effect, and then think of a solution.
Unexpectedly, this Great Immortal Tongxuan, for his own ambitions in the demon realm, actually figured out the key to opening the demon realm interface for him, which was truly effortless.
"Ahem... Lord Yue Lao, the people of the Holy Realm have a very strong sense of self-respect, so it's best to avoid using such titles as those from the Demon Realm. As for this old man, I have long seen through the affairs of men and women, so how could I dare to trouble Lord Yue Lao to arrange marriages? Wouldn't that be to cut off my own path to immortality?"
Upon hearing Wang Yao's words, Tong Xuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly coughed twice before speaking to Wang Yao.
"Yes, yes, it's the Holy Domain, the Holy Domain... I misspoke in my haste. I meant to arrange a marriage between Na Langshuai's youngest son and Lady Lian's youngest daughter."
Wang Yao realized he had misspoke and hurriedly corrected himself, but inwardly he was suspicious. How could this Great Immortal Tongxuan say that matters of men and women were tantamount to severing his immortal path? I see so many couples in the immortal realm. Could it be that this Great Immortal's cultivation method is different?
It makes sense, as cultivation in the Immortal Realm is difficult. This old fellow was probably so desperate that he practiced some kind of technique that abstained from sexual desire. Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help but feel a lot of pity for this Great Immortal Tongxuan in front of me.
What's the use of having superb immortal powers if you can't find a wife? He even claims to have seen through the ways of men and women long ago, but that's probably just sour grapes. Since he can't find a wife, he can only come to the demon realm to cause trouble. Look at our Lu Xian, he has a harmonious marriage and works properly in the Heavenly Court.
It seems that a stable family life is indeed the best way to maintain social order.
Thinking this way, Wang Yao felt that he had gained a great deal of insight.
"In that case, let's not delay and go to the Yi Clan to take a look?" Now that Wang Yao knew the location of the key to opening his demon realm interface, he could no longer sit still and wanted to ask the Great Immortal Tongxuan to take him to the Yi Clan.
"Lord Yue Lao, don't be in a hurry. We must go to the Yi Clan, but before we go, you must first meet the patriarch of my Zhang Huang Clan, Commander Lang," Tong Xuan said with a smile.
"Oh? What do you want to see him for? I don't know if the talisman can be broken. If it can't be broken, then General Lang probably won't be able to do anything. If it can be broken, I naturally have ways to reassure General Lang about the life of his young son." Wang Yao said nonchalantly.
Although Wang Yao was willing to arrange this political marriage between the Zhanghuang and Yi clans for the sake of his own demon realm, he had absolutely no interest in the wars between the demon races. Seeing Tongxuan's fanatical enthusiasm for the demon realm, he became even more wary.
He deeply resisted seeing Commander Lang and Lady Lian, and even the patriarch of any clan in the demon realm.
"No, no, Lord Yue Lao, I have a compelling reason for taking you to see Commander Lang." The Great Immortal Tongxuan hurriedly shook his head.
"I have worked hard in the Zhanghuang clan for hundreds of years and have gained the utmost trust of the clan, especially from Commander Lang. Commander Lang has appointed me as the clan's Grand Elder, which is the second most prestigious position in the Zhanghuang clan after Commander Lang. This position is naturally conducive to me realizing my ambitions."
"But as you know, I am not a member of the Holy Domain race, nor was I born as an insectoid. So there are still some members of the clan who are envious of my position. Although I don't care about the covetousness of these petty people within the clan, for the sake of the greater cause, I must, of course, avoid internal strife as much as possible."
"In order for Lord Yue Lao to arrive in Zhanghuang tribe smoothly, I not only directly ordered our tribe's embassy in Shu tribe, but also used the Zhanghuang Express. Commander Lang and the tribe's high-ranking officials must know about this."
"If you avoid them and go directly to the Yi Clan, they will definitely have many other speculations. After all, the Old Man of the Moon is a serving immortal. His sudden appearance in the Holy Domain will cause a lot of speculation, not to mention within my Zhang Huang Clan, even if other clans know that you have come to the Zhang Huang Clan."
"Therefore, it is very necessary for you to go and see Commander Lang to clear up the doubts within the clan. This is also my humble request," said the Great Immortal Tongxuan earnestly.
After listening to the explanation from the Great Immortal Tongxuan, Wang Yao couldn't help but think of the butterfly spirit on the Zhanghuang Express who went so far as to use magic to extract information from him. It seems that the Zhanghuang Clan is not simple at all.
"Lord Yue Lao, there's no need to worry. I've met Commander Lang before; he's a rare and wise ruler. He certainly won't make things difficult for you," the Great Immortal Tongxuan continued, seeing that Wang Yao still looked hesitant.
"Very well, as the saying goes, a guest should follow the host's lead. Since the Great Immortal thinks I should meet that General Lang, then let's go and meet him. But I wonder when we should go?" Wang Yao glanced at Hui Shuo, who was dozing off after eating his fill of snacks and fruit, and nodded.
This General Lang treated Hui Shuo quite well, buying all of Hui Shuo's Buddhist amulets and even offering to build a temple for him. Given how he took care of him, it would be right for him to go and see him. However, he was focused on unlocking the demon realm and didn't want to waste too much time in the Zhanghuang clan.
"General Lang's city, Tianchao, is not far from here. It's getting late, so why don't I invite a few friends over and we can play a few rounds of mahjong? Tomorrow morning, I'll accompany Lord Yue to pay our respects to General Lang." Seeing that Wang Yao had agreed, Tongxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but suggested that Wang Yao play mahjong.
"Um..." Wang Yao had heard the two butterfly spirits on the Zhanghuang Express mention that Tongxuan was good at playing mahjong, but he didn't expect the old guy to be so addicted. He didn't have the time to play around with him here.
“The sun is still high in the sky. Do we really need to go through so many procedures to see Commander Lang? If seeing him is too troublesome, let’s hurry to the Yi tribe. We don’t need to waste time here,” Wang Yao said.
