"What turmoil in my realm of gods and demons needs to be quelled? It is clearly your Heavenly Court that has torn up the Six Realms Agreement and arbitrarily disrupted the balance between my realm of gods and demons!" Before Si Chen Xingjun could speak, a chubby, apple-shaped fellow in the crowd opposite him shouted at Ao Guang in a shrill voice.
"Judging from what you're saying, do you want to fight again?" A voice suddenly rang out from the north. Wang Yao looked at the person and saw that it was none other than the headless War God.
"Fight again if you want, do you think we demons are afraid of you?" The apple-shaped creature was not intimidated by the God of War and said proudly.
Wang Yao discovered that this apple-shaped creature also had no head. Its round, apple-like shape was actually its body. However, unlike the War God, it didn't speak through its belly button. Wang Yao stared at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out where its mouth was.
"Xia Geng, do you have any shame? I've already forced you to reveal your true form, and you're still being stubborn. What else do you want to do? What are you planning to use to fight me?"
At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West's voice rang out. Wang Yao looked and found that she was standing to the side and behind the Star Lord of the Morning Star. Because she was blocked by other immortals, Wang Yao did not see her at first.
“You…it’s your Heavenly Court bullying the weak with the many…” Apple’s voice sounded very unconvinced after hearing the Queen Mother of the West’s words.
"Bullying the weak with the many? Hahaha... What a joke! When did you demons become the weak? In my memory, bullying the weak with the many has always been your demon race's specialty, hasn't it?" The Unyielding God Lord beside the War God Lord laughed heartily.
Apple was about to say something more when a tall, dark-skinned man next to him reached out and stopped him.
"Xia Geng, stop talking. The demon race is now almost extinct, and the demon realm exists in name only. I, the Demon Lord, admit that we have fallen for the trap set by the foreign god..."
"Tongtian, are you out of your mind? What do you mean by 'foreign gods' and treacherous schemes'? It was clearly the barbarians who bewitched us, causing us to mistakenly believe in the city sacrifice ritual. In fact, it is the Heavenly Court that should bear the main responsibility for failing to cleanse the demon race and spreading poison and scourge to the demon realm!"
Xia Geng then started arguing with the big, dark-skinned man.
Wang Yao listened to their arguing without any clue whatsoever. He turned his head and saw that King Yama, Emperor Song, General Lang, Princess Jinxiu, and a group of other Yama kings and demons were all around him, smiling and gesturing at him.
There were probably too many Mahayana cultivators present, and these demons and ghosts were afraid of offending them, so they didn't dare to greet Wang Yao. Wang Yao, however, didn't have so many taboos. He raised his arm and hooked Lang Shuai's shoulder.
"Brother Lang, how have you been?" Wang Yao said with a smile.
He was being somewhat insincere in his words. Compared to before, Commander Lang had aged considerably. His body was hunched over, and his face was covered in wrinkles. He looked no different from a seventy or eighty-year-old man in the human world. Judging from his appearance, he was not only not unwell, but was seriously ill.
It's only because Wang Yao has a good eye; otherwise, who could connect this old geezer with the spirited, seemingly middle-aged Lang Shuai from the demon realm?
"Greetings, Wang Xian!" Lang Shuai greeted in a low voice with a beaming smile. Princess Jinxiu, standing beside him, also smiled slightly at Wang Yao. She hadn't changed at all and looked even more beautiful than when she was a young girl.
"Brother Lang, if I remember correctly, you still owe me a wedding banquet, right?" Wang Yao couldn't help but ask, looking at the couple.
"I remember. Once things are settled here, as long as Wang Xian is free, Commander Lang will drink with you until you're completely drunk." Commander Lang nodded repeatedly, his face beaming.
"What do you mean by 'drink until you drop'? At your age, you still don't know how to take care of your health. Do you even care about your kidneys?" Princess Jinxiu reprimanded Lang Shuai with a cold face.
"I...I just happened to run into Wang Xian, so how can we express our gratitude to him if we don't have a good drink together?" Lang Shuai was a little embarrassed by Princess Jinxiu's retort, and hurriedly used Wang Yao as an excuse.
"Lord of the Moon, my husband, my wife, and my mother have always thought highly of you. We were unable to invite you to our wedding, but we are determined to do so this time. However, drinking is bad for your health, and my husband is not what he used to be. He went to the hospital just before we went to fight in the realm of gods and demons..."
Princess Jinxiu explained softly to Wang Yao.
"Oh dear, you... how can you bring up the hospital before even inviting anyone for drinks? You're just... our marriage is all thanks to Lord Wang Xian, what's the big deal about having a good drink with him? Even if we drink ourselves to death, it'll be worth it!"
After hearing Princess Jinxiu's words, Commander Lang became visibly anxious.
"What nonsense are you spouting? What are you talking about, death and life?" Princess Jinxiu's eyes widened immediately, and her voice unconsciously grew louder, drawing the attention of all the ghosts and demons around her.
“Yes, yes, the princess is right. Health is the most important thing. And I just heard the princess say that Brother Lang’s problem is with his kidneys?” Wang Yao hurriedly interrupted Princess Jinxiu and asked Commander Lang.
“Times have changed. Our demon realm is now stuck in its ways, and our medical skills have declined drastically. Those quack doctors might have made a mistake. Let’s not talk about this…” Lang Shuai shook his head repeatedly, unwilling to discuss his health.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that... Um... I remember the Big Apple was captured by the Queen Mother of the West, wasn't it? Didn't we conquer the Decapitation Demon City? Why are we having a meeting here again?" Wang Yao asked, following Lang Shuai's tone, to voice his doubts.
"You don't know? I don't know either. We just passed Pengqiu City when we received a message from the immortals instructing us to retreat to the Whispering Forest. The commander-in-chief is here for a meeting. I don't know what happened." Commander Lang replied in astonishment.
