Demon General Long-Scale, the Outcome Is Set

"Qianhe, honestly, I'm very pleased with you. Are you interested in joining the Corpse Herding Hall?"

Uh…

Four-Eyes was stunned, and Zhong Bai was too.

"Patriarch Qinghe, you are the patriarch of the Corpse Herding Hall, and Qianhe is a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. Although both are from Maoshan, still…"

"Hmph! Is that all?"

Patriarch Qinghe said with some disdain, "Those are minor issues. It's just about a disciple being trained by two halls. Back when I, the patriarch, was in the mortal realm, this was quite common in Maoshan.

At that time, a single hall rarely had enough power to cultivate a Golden Core True Monarch, so two halls would work together.

I, the patriarch, think highly of you, Qianhe. You have the potential for a Golden Core, and coincidentally, the Corpse Herding Hall has something that would suit you perfectly!

If you're willing, I, the patriarch, will personally go to the Law Enforcement Hall to negotiate. I imagine your Law Enforcement Hall would be happy about it too."

With one moment of praise and the next of satisfaction, Zhong Bai felt there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Furthermore, he was currently still a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. Even if his master truly agreed to such a thing, it wasn't something he could decide now.

"Patriarch Qinghe, this disciple cannot make decisions rashly. Everything must be decided by my master!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhong Bai felt a wave of nausea surge from his internal organs. He vomited violently, expelling a mouthful of clotted blood.

From the blow he had just taken, Zhong Bai only felt a series of sharp pains in his waist.

Coupled with the pre-existing soreness in his right arm, Zhong Bai was truly depleted now.

"Fine, you sly little rascal. I, the patriarch, will discuss this with your Law Enforcement Hall's patriarch in the Underworld. For now, you two young ones should quickly recover your True Essence and await your master's rescue."

With that, Patriarch Qinghe looked at the distant stone wall. The Crimson Viper General seemed to have awakened!

The Crimson Viper Swarm, which had been at a loss regarding Zhong Bai and Four-Eyes, now seemed to be on a pilgrimage.

They surged towards the stone wall like a tide!

A faint roar, growing louder, echoed from afar. In an instant, cracks appeared one after another on the previously smooth stone wall.

Immediately after, the stone wall crumbled into fragments, and a figure with a serpent's lower body and a human-shaped upper body slowly emerged from within…

Although its upper body had transformed into a human form, crimson stripes were still etched onto its skin.

Its head was also covered in dense fleshy growths, and its cold eyes held a sinister, cunning, bloodthirsty urge.

"Father, please avenge my second and third brothers!"

A Crimson Viper Demon, appearing from who knew where, spoke in human tongue, clearly a Demon Soldier that had refined its horizontal bone in its later stages.

Hearing his eldest son's mournful plea, the Long-Scale Serpent General's entire body visibly trembled.

Its blood-red eyes scanned the surroundings.

Countless descendants lay motionless on the ground.

Even his two sons had met tragic ends.

"Who did this…"

The Long-Scale Serpent General asked coldly. Almost all the serpent demons looked up at Zhong Bai and Four-Eyes with angry gazes.

Following the gaze of the serpent swarm, the Long-Scale Serpent Demon also began to focus on Zhong Bai and Four-Eyes.

With just a single glance, Zhong Bai felt immense pressure. Is this the strength of a Demon General comparable to a Foundation Establishment True Person?

Four-Eyes felt his hairs stand on end. The vague sense of danger made his body tremble slightly.

Sweat pouring down, Four-Eyes unconsciously moved closer to Patriarch Qinghe's spirit tablet.

At this, Patriarch Qinghe, hovering above the spirit tablet, felt somewhat speechless.

It's just a minor Demon General in the mid-stage. He had slain countless pieces of trash like this in his time.

However, now he could only sigh, watching this little serpent show off…

…………………………………………………

"Taoist cultivators!"

The Long-Scale Serpent General gnashed its teeth, its entire body consumed by a rage that ignited in that very moment.

"You killed my sons, slaughtered my descendants! You will die by my hand!"

As flames surged from within the Long-Scale Serpent General, the surroundings were almost instantly transformed into a sea of fire.

Yet, the weaker serpent demons were not scorched; instead, they seemed to revel in it.

In an instant, fireballs rained down on Zhong Bai and Four-Eyes. Even through the invisible barrier, Zhong Bai felt the intense heat of the flames.

Fortunately, Patriarch Qinghe's divine sense was present, and the invisible barrier repelled all the flames surging from the void.

The Long-Scale Serpent General, who had initially thought he could easily suppress them with a raised hand, was startled.

When he launched several more fireballs but still couldn't break through the invisible barrier, he truly began to take them seriously!

"No wonder you dared to come to my Crimson Viper Den. So you had something to rely on…

But it's all useless. If I want you dead, no one can protect you!"

In an instant, Long-Scale General flew forward, striking out with a palm engulfed in towering flames. The blow slammed into the invisible barrier, and a terrifying ripple of air spread outwards. Some snake demons, unable to dodge in time, were thrown back by the shockwave and died on the spot.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?!"

Long-Scale General's face burned with humiliation. The threats he'd just uttered now seemed hollow as he watched the other party remain completely unharmed.

"I refuse to believe this turtle shell of yours can hold up forever!"

Long-Scale General lunged to ram the invisible barrier again. Just then, a jade talisman shot towards him. Before he could make it out clearly, the talisman transformed into a stream of light, enveloping him.

Thunder struck from a clear sky. When the lightning bolt descended and hit Long-Scale General, he felt his dignity completely shattered.

With a loud boom, the lightning spread downwards. The previously exquisite and spirited Long-Scale General was now pitch black, and a faint smell of burning flesh hung in the air.

Long-Scale General had only suffered minor injuries, but the insult was unbearable.

"Ah! You truly deserve to die!"

His eyes blazing red, Long-Scale General leaped into the air, transforming into a several-dozen-meter-long demonic body. His massive form began to relentlessly ram the invisible barrier!

Today, if he didn't brutally kill these two human cultivators before him, he swore he wasn't a snake!

Inside the barrier, it was naturally Zhong Bai who had just activated the jade talisman. Three of his five jade talismans were now used, leaving only two for self-preservation.

Seeing that the talisman couldn't seriously injure the opponent, Zhong Bai didn't want to waste any more.

"Heh heh, even if he's a mid-stage Demon General, it would take him several hours to shatter this barrier I've set up with my divine sense.

You two had better pray that kid Changsheng gets here soon…"

As he spoke, Patriarch Qinghe observed Zhong Bai and Four-Eyes with interest.

Seeing that both of them were calmly sitting and recovering their True Essence without much panic, he smiled in satisfaction.

"Four-Eyes, though troublesome, is still quite competent. And Qianhe from the Law Enforcement Hall truly is something!

Hmm, it's decided. If the two halls cultivate them, perhaps a Golden Core True Monarch might truly emerge!"

Muttering to himself, Patriarch Qinghe was completely relaxed. Although by rules, he shouldn't overstep and attack demons, Heh heh, with Maoshan's influence in the Underworld, if they truly moved against this little snake demon, who would dare say anything?

Scaring Zhong Bai and Four-Eyes was fine, but if True Immortal Changsheng didn't arrive in time, Patriarch Qinghe would still have to intervene when the moment called for it.

Therefore, the Long-Scale General before them was destined for tragedy, destined to be slain by Maoshan!

You need connections to get by in this world, don't you?

What if it's overbearing and unreasonable? Just one phrase: good and evil cannot coexist!

Heh heh, I wrote Maoshan a bit too domineeringly, but it's true that you need connections to get by…

Alright, to put it plainly, it's all like this.

Ahem, this book will probably be available next week, at the latest the Monday after, on the 21st. It will be a daily release of ten thousand words, possibly three chapters totaling ten thousand words, or four chapters totaling twelve thousand. Either way, I'll definitely satisfy everyone.

Finally, please continue to give your monthly votes, investments, reads, favorites, recommendation tickets, and tips, okay, no tips... Wuwuwu...
