Divine Envoy

"The Hidden Forest Mountain is strictly managed. You can't just wander around in their caves. Chu... you need to be careful later," the Cat Great King said nervously to Chu Liang.

This place was a large stone cave hollowed out from a significant portion of the mountain. Even with such vast internal space, it still couldn't accommodate all the demons after setting up the wedding venue and numerous guests.

So, the weaker little demons were having their banquet outside.

Demons of the East Mountain Cat Clan's strength, if strictly ranked, should have been eating by the ditch at the foot of the mountain. It was only thanks to being part of the bride's family that they could barely squeeze into a designated area to sit.

However, the ones walking and moving around were the Great Demons they usually held in awe, so the Cat Great King was inevitably on tenterhooks.

Because he knew that there was someone in his group today who was here to cause trouble.

"I'll act according to the situation." Chu Liang pretended to look around curiously and whispered, "Don't be too nervous either. You look like you have a guilty conscience. Just relax a bit."

"Oh, okay..." The Cat Great King nodded and started to untie the belt on his pants...

"Hey, hey, hey, brother." Chu Liang quickly grabbed him. "Relaxing and being open are two different things..."

"No, I'm taking out the congratulatory gift I'm going to give the Tiger Great King later," the Cat Great King explained.

He fumbled around for a long time and took out a pearl of average quality, but it was as big as an egg and should be quite valuable.

Given the living environment of the East Mountain Cat Clan, it was already very difficult for them to produce such a jewel. It should be considered a family heirloom.

No wonder he had a pained look on his face. He turned to the few little cat demons he brought and said, "You guys must eat more later, eat your fill! If you can't finish it, take it with you. Don't leave any behind!"

The other guests who arrived also brought generous gifts. Although most of the demon race in the mountains were not wealthy, the demons present were all prominent figures in the surrounding area, so they weren't too shabby.

Over there, an old fox demon of considerable age, wearing a small hat, was acting as the master of ceremonies. After making a note, he loudly announced what a certain Demon King had sent.

There were quite a few pearls, jade bi, coral, and agate. Chu Liang also learned for the first time that demons would also treat exquisite human objects as treasures.

After the Tiger Great King returned with the bride, he first went to the back hall of the cave to change clothes.

The moment Chu Liang first saw the Tiger Great King, he felt a surge of restlessness from the Red Name Slayer Sword in the White Pagoda.

It seemed... this righteous sword had finally encountered evil entangled with bloodlust.

It desired to slay the red name!

It seemed the Tiger Great King was indeed a wicked person who had committed many evils. This also increased Chu Liang's confidence in today's plan.

Just as the scene was noisy and lively, a shout suddenly came from the entrance of the cave: "The Divine Envoy has arrived—"

Suddenly, all the demons in the entire cave fell silent. Almost instantly, it was completely quiet, and all the demons looked towards the entrance.

There, a tall figure with a black cloak and a bronze mask had appeared.

"Who is this?" Chu Liang asked in a low voice.

"I don't know," the Cat Great King shook his head.

"Then why did you suddenly stop talking?" Chu Liang asked in confusion.

"Everyone stopped talking... so I got scared too," the Cat Great King said with a frank expression.

"..."

This reminded Chu Liang of the scene when a terrifying face appeared at the back window of the classroom in the past. As long as one person who was talking suddenly shut up, everyone else would quickly become quiet. In fact, many people didn't see what happened.

The black-cloaked figure called the Divine Envoy quickly walked in, followed by four small demons. The four small demons were working together to carry a very long object, covered with red silk and tied with large red flowers, making it impossible to tell what it was.

"Oh my, oh my! Divine Envoy, you have graced us with your presence. This humble one failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me, Divine Envoy!" The Tiger Great King immediately came out from behind, his demeanor extremely respectful, completely lacking his previous arrogance.

"No need for such courtesy, Tiger King." The so-called "Divine Envoy" had a steady voice and smiled slightly. "I heard you are getting married today, so I specially brought you a gift. Bring it in!"

With a wave of his hand, the small demons behind him lifted the red silk.

With a rustling sound, a Zhangba Halberd with a flowing dark golden luster was revealed beneath the red silk. It was ancient and heavy, sharp and chilling, faintly carrying an indescribable divine aura.

"Wow—" The demons were in an uproar.

Any demon with a bit of discernment could see how powerful this weapon was.

It was definitely an ancient divine weapon!

"This..." The Tiger Great King's eyes immediately lit up. "This is a divine weapon..."

"Indeed, this item is called the 'Mountain River Suppressing Halberd'. It is an ancient divine weapon ranked one hundred and forty on the human race's Myriad Treasures Record," the Divine Envoy said with a smile. "The Tiger King is a hero of this era, and he should be equipped with this divine weapon to dominate the world!"

Mountain River Suppressing Halberd?

Chu Liang suddenly realized. No wonder he felt it looked familiar when he saw it just now. It turned out he had seen it in the human world's Myriad Treasures Record.

However, he clearly remembered that the Myriad Treasures Record stated that this item belonged to the Tiangang Gate, one of the Divine Nine.

Could this Divine Envoy actually snatch such a divine weapon from the hands of the Tiangang Gate?

He wondered what his background was.

"Such a divine weapon... How did you obtain it, Divine Envoy?" The Tiger Great King naturally knew how much an ancient divine weapon could enhance one's power. He stroked the halberd's shaft, unable to put it down.

"Haha, it's quite a coincidence. On the way here, I happened to encounter a human genius. His skills were not bad, but his mind wasn't very sharp. With a little trick, I took his weapon. Upon seeing this treasure, I realized it was perfect as a gift for the Tiger King," the Divine Envoy said.

"Good, good, good! Thank you, Divine Envoy!" The Tiger Great King exerted force and gripped the Mountain River Suppressing Halberd with one arm, swinging it around twice.

The air roared, and all the demons who felt the chilling glint felt a chill run down their spines.

Bang!

The Tiger Great King was satisfied. He withdrew his hand and stood the halberd on the ground. Even this withdrawal carried the force of wind and thunder.

It was indeed the power of an ancient divine weapon.

"Then, taking this opportunity, why don't we announce that news as well?" The Tiger Great King looked at the Divine Envoy and asked.

"Indeed, that is also why I came," the Divine Envoy nodded.

"Good!" The Tiger Great King walked onto the high platform and said loudly, "All you demon races present here today, I have gathered you here not only for my marriage but also to announce an important piece of news!"

"In these past few days, I have traveled among the various mountains and have spoken with many Demon Kings, asking you to submit to my Hidden Forest Mountain," the Tiger Great King swept his gaze around, his authority pressing, making the demons below the stage dare not look directly at him. "And I can lead you to do something great!"

"Now, I will tell you what that great thing is!"

As the Tiger Great King said this, he suddenly turned his head, bowed, and invited the Divine Envoy to also step onto the high platform, yielding the stage to him.

The Divine Envoy ascended the stage, and his entire being exuded a solemn aura.

"Fellow demon race brethren, some of you know that I come from the Seven Kings Ridge, west of the Western Regions. And we, these envoys, travel throughout the human world to deliver a message to you."

"God."

"Is about to return!"
