This time, the Demon Lord's gaze finally landed on Luo Jianqing. His blood-red, peach-blossom eyes fixed intently on the azure monk, a gaze that barely registers. A faint smile flashed across his face, and the Demon Lord's expression instantly turned cold again. He said calmly, "Is there any room for a youngster like you to interrupt me when I'm speaking?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon Lord waved his sleeves, intending to let Luo Jianqing retreat.
Unexpectedly, Luo Jianqing raised his head and said, "I am a descendant of Yuxiao Peak and a disciple of Venerable Xuanlingzi! Since the Demon Lord wants to call my master "senior", then this junior can also interject on his behalf! My master is in good health, there is no need for the Demon Lord to worry too much!"
After saying this, Venerable Yuqingzi's face showed satisfaction and joy, but he raised his arm to block Luo Jianqing. Taihua Mountain had never had to bow to the Demon Dao Palace, let alone this Demon Venerable's desire to suppress Junior Brother Xuanlingzi. Jianqing's words were good, but the Demon Venerable was not a good-tempered and reasonable person.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Luo Jianqing's disrespectful words, the Demon Lord's beautiful face changed expression, his eyes fixed on Luo Jianqing. Luo Jianqing was naturally unfazed and met his gaze calmly. The two stared at each other for a long time, but the Demon Lord's eyes suddenly showed annoyance, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Luo Jianqing, I will not argue with a young man like you. Back off!"
Luo Jianqing did not retreat and still stood beside Venerable Yuqingzi. Everyone was just sweating for him, but they saw that the Demon Lord seemed to pretend not to see it and continued with the next thing.
The elders from the four major sects and eight major families presented gifts to the Demon Lord in turn, and the one from Taihua Mountain was the last.
Yu Qingzi pondered for a moment and handed a storage ring to Luo Jianqing. Luo Jianqing understood and, holding the ring, walked up the jade steps. Luo Jianqing said, "Taihua Mountain wishes the Demon Lord a happy 2,700th birthday and presents this gift."
After saying this, Luo Jianqing placed the ring on a jade plate beside him. Before he left, he heard a cold voice echoing in his mind: "Luo Jianqing of Taihua Mountain, you are so rude, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Hearing the name "Luo Jianqing of Mount Taihua," Luo Jianqing paused, feeling it sounded familiar. He calmly sent a message, "Why would Senior Demon Lord embarrass a junior? I think you and my master are old friends, so you wouldn't embarrass me."
The Demon Lord sneered: "I have always wanted to kill your master."
Luo Jianqing calmly transmitted his message, "Then please feel free to go as you please, Senior. My master is waiting at Mount Taihua."
"you!"
The voice transmission ended in the blink of an eye. Luo Jianqing turned and left, but unexpectedly heard another voice transmission: "You angered me today, and you're not afraid that I will kill you. But what if I tell you that I...will kill Mo Qiu to vent my anger?"
His steps suddenly stopped, and Luo Jianqing turned around abruptly, his eyes cold: "Mo Qiu is your apprentice!"
The Demon Lord smiled and said, "So what? I don't need a life anymore."
Luo Jianqing stared at the Demon Lord in silence for a long time, and finally said in a voice transmission: "If you kill my lifelong friend, I will kill you for the rest of my life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jianqing walked away, returning to Yu Qingzi's side. He didn't appear to be reacting in any particular way, but his hands were already clenched beneath his sleeves. Demon cultivators are always cold-blooded and ruthless, acting arbitrarily. The Demon Lord's words... might not be a lie. If it was really because of his actions today that Mo Qiu...
Luo Jianqing's eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth.
As expected, the Demon Lord only dared to threaten me like this because of his great strength. Strength is the foundation of one's life!
The Demon Lord was unaware of Luo Jianqing's thoughts. After delivering the birthday gift, Yu Qingzi took the initiative to inquire about the Blood Spirit Fruit. The Demon Lord calmly stated that he had killed nine demon cultivators to obtain the Blood Spirit Fruit, and that it was meaningless and was only used for cultivation.
Upon hearing that the Demon Lord had killed nine demon cultivators, Yu Qingzi felt deeply ashamed, but he couldn't blame them. Demon cultivators killing demon cultivators was their own business. After all, the number of people the Demon Lord had killed was known to all cultivators. If he couldn't break through, he would sooner or later be reincarnated into the animal realm for over three million lifetimes, and receive his due.
Thus, this "unworthy" birthday celebration came to an end. Everyone was about to return home when Yu Qingzi said coldly, "My Taihua Mountain's first disciple still needs to fight a life-and-death duel with the Lord of Yudu City. Demon Lord, are you willing to be a witness?"
Hearing this, the Demon Lord was slightly startled. He glanced at Luo Jianqing and asked, "What happened again?"
Yu Qingzi found the word "again" a bit strange, but without giving it much thought, he told them everything that had happened in Yudu. When the Demon Lord heard they had actually been to Yudu, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he glanced casually at Luo Jianqing. But after hearing the Yudu City Lord's dirty thoughts, his expression gradually darkened.
The Demon Lord waved his sleeves, and with a loud bang, the fat city lord He Xiao rolled into the hall.
Originally, the Demon Lord wanted to kill He Xiao outright, euphemistically calling it "giving Taihua Mountain some face." However, Luo Jianqing stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Senior Demon Lord, I am willing to fight He Xiao!"
The Demon Lord frowned slightly, but after a while, he nodded in agreement.
He Xiao hadn't expected the Demon Lord to actually take his life. He was initially terrified, nearly pissing himself, but upon hearing Luo Jianqing's plea, he was overwhelmed with joy and excitement. This beautiful woman was so beautiful, how could she be so foolish? He could take his time with the fight. He wondered how long he could touch her, and where he would touch her...
A life-and-death duel suddenly began.
He Xiao said with a righteous look: "This fellow Taoist has a low level of cultivation, you attack first."
Luo Jianqing smiled upon hearing this. He raised his hand and pulled out a sharp sword from the sword pattern between his eyebrows. Frost appeared in the world, and time froze slightly. Luo Jianqing looked up at the lecherous fat pig and asked, "Are you serious?"
