"With your words of comfort, young friend, I am much more at ease. However, before shattering the void, I hope you can resolve the troublesome tribulation clouds above your head..."
The Supreme Demon Ancestor's expression was indifferent, and his words showed no emotional fluctuation. However, Li Sisui couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Although his words had won Li Sisui's favor, if he dispelled the tribulation clouds and this person went back on his word, wouldn't it all be for nothing?
Because of the heavenly tribulation restraining him, this person was so polite. If the heavenly tribulation were gone, who could guarantee that he wouldn't immediately lash out? However, Li Sisui thought again and speculated based on the information he had verified so far that the divine tribulation above the Supreme Demon Ancestor's head should also be summoned by the protagonist's halo. If the old demon regretted it after it was dispelled, the divine tribulation would most likely return. Thinking this way, Li Sisui finally felt much more at ease.
Seeing that Li Sisui's expression was solemn and he did not act immediately, clearly still having reservations about him, the Supreme Demon Ancestor muttered to himself:
"This young man is cunning and cautious by nature. Coupled with his destiny, his future is limitless. Although he is only at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm, that transparent short sword he just used was full of strangeness. Not only did he not crush it, but he also moved freely in and out of the Demon Mountain, which has no spiritual energy at all. I really don't know how many secrets this kid has..."
After a brief silence, Li Si took the lead and stepped forward. Now that he had figured it out, there was no need to hesitate any longer. He strode towards the Supreme Demon Ancestor. When he arrived in front of the Supreme Demon Ancestor, the dark clouds above his head completely dissipated, and the purple moonlight once again shone on the Demon Mountain.
He hadn't noticed it from a distance, but once Li Sisui got closer to the Supreme Demon Ancestor, he understood what innate oppressive power meant. The Demon Ancestor was at least three meters tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular build. Although shrouded in a black robe, the explosive power of his body was palpable. Standing in front of him, Li Sisui looked like a little chick...
That aura of someone who had long held a high position and looked down on all living beings swept over him. Only after Li Sisui took several steps back did the suffocating pressure ease. The Demon Ancestor's eyes flickered, his expression complex. When he felt a lightness all over his body and the heavenly tribulation above his head completely disappeared, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and then said coldly:
"You can leave, but she has to stay on the Demon Mountain!"
The Supreme Demon Ancestor raised his hand and pointed, referring to Leng Rushuang in Li Sisui's arms!
This is exactly what I feared. The divine tribulation had barely dissipated when this old fellow went back on his word. It seems another thrilling ordeal is inevitable. Li Sisui looked helpless, a hint of anger lurking beneath the surface. Demonic cultivators are indeed as rumored—cold-blooded, brutal, bloodthirsty, and utterly untrustworthy. Sigh…
The Supreme Demon Ancestor was constantly watching Li Sisui. Seeing the latter's emotional fluctuations, he immediately realized that his tone had been inappropriate and quickly explained:
"Young friend, don't overthink it. Let me finish. This woman has consumed and refined the Tongshi Pill, so she will have no chance to cultivate immortality from now on. She can only turn to demonic cultivation. Bringing the dead back to life is just the most basic effect of the Tongshi Pill. The other heaven-defying effects can only be perfectly manifested in demonic cultivators!"
Outside of Demon Mountain, demonic energy is thin. Unless one relies on bloodlust and constant battle, it's difficult to maintain a pure demonic root. With her talent and the extraordinary effects of the Tongshi Pill, as long as she stays on Demon Mountain, with my assistance, she can rival me in less than a thousand years. I promise you, young friend, I will take her as my last disciple and teach her with utmost care; I will not break my word!
Li Sisui breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how it is. It seems he was being petty this time. He wondered what Leng Rushuang would think after waking up and learning that he needed to become a demonic cultivator. But no matter what, it was impossible for Li Sisui to watch her die...
All roads lead to Rome. So what if she's a demonic cultivator? With Leng Rushuang's extraordinary talent, she shouldn't be too bad off. What's more, she has the heaven-defying effects of the Tongshi Pill, plus the sudden appearance of a powerful master. Her luck seems pretty good. Li Sisui couldn't help but feel a little envious!
"If she were conscious right now, she could decide for herself whether to stay or leave. But she is unconscious now, so I can only continue to take care of her. If she can accept all of this after she wakes up, returning to Demon Mountain should be just a matter of time, right?"
Since we've already given Leng Rushuang the Tongshi Pill, we might as well go all the way and see it through to the end. If we leave her on Demon Mountain now, it's fine if the old demon keeps his promise, but what if he has some other ideas? Wouldn't that just harm her? He can't do that!
The Supreme Demon Ancestor hesitated slightly, then slowly nodded. If Leng Rushuang could accept the identity of a demon cultivator after she woke up, with her talent, if she wanted to achieve something on the path of demon cultivation, she would naturally have to return to Demon Mountain. Only the endless demonic energy here was the most suitable place for demon cultivators to cultivate!
"Since you have made your decision, young friend, I will not say any more. However, this place has experienced the Tribulation of Pills and the Tribulation of Gods, and the space is in turmoil. It is no longer suitable for breaking through the void. If you do not mind, young friend, please come with me to my residence to rest for a while. Then I will escort you two away from Demon Mountain."
The Supreme Demon Ancestor spoke sincerely and was gentle. If the other cultivators of Demon Mountain had seen this scene, they would have been shocked. When did the Supreme Demon Ancestor, who was decisive and ruthless, become so gentle and humble?
Li Sisui quite enjoyed the Supreme Demon Ancestor's attitude. He had rarely seen such a reasonable person along the way. Since he had decided to believe, he no longer cared about anything else and just let things take their course. So he smiled and nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, the Supreme Demon Ancestor's eyes flashed with joy. Finally, he had made the person in front of him lower his guard a bit. If he had kept him in a state of vigilance, even if he had been safely sent away, he probably wouldn't have left a good impression. In that case, not only would he have lost a Tongshi Pill, but all his previous efforts would have been in vain!
Then, the Demon Ancestor waved his hand, his black robe billowing, and the three of them disappeared from the spot in the next second. Li Sisui felt a darkness before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already on the top of the mountain. The ground reflected a crystal-clear purple-gold light, and the materials were exquisite. Looking up, he couldn't help but feel shocked. Could such a magnificent and huge palace be the mansion that the Supreme Demon Ancestor had mentioned?
Isn't this a bit too extravagant?
Above the majestic palace gate hangs a plaque of unknown material, emitting a faint halo. Under the purple moonlight, it appears even more noble and mysterious. On the plaque are four large characters written in a flowing, elegant style: "Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace"!
More than a hundred guards stood on either side of the palace gate. Upon seeing the Supreme Demon Ancestor suddenly appear, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and proclaimed in a resounding voice:
"Welcome back to the palace, Demon Ancestor!"
"Pass down the order: all guards of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace, immediately enter a state of combat readiness without fail. Activate the palace's protective formation to its maximum. I have important matters to attend to, and do not allow anyone to disturb me. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!"
"I will obey the Holy Decree of the Demon Ancestor!"
The guards fell silent, their voices unusually loud, before scattering. Li Sisui, carrying Leng Rushuang, looked around with curiosity, then followed closely behind the Supreme Demon Ancestor, stepping over the high threshold, passing through the majestic palace gates, and disappearing from sight…
