The Fox Borrows the Tiger's Might
"Heh heh, ignorant brat, spouting nonsense, begging for a quick death... Gah!" The yellow-haired old monster's words abruptly stopped, his eyes widening to the size of eggs. The other two monsters also widened their eyes, held their breath, and stared intently at the token in Yue Qianchou's hand, their smiles and arrogance vanishing instantly.
There is nothing superfluous on the dark token. On the reverse is the word "order", which is held in Yue Qianchou's palm. On the front is a pair of deep eyes carved on it. If you look at it carefully, you will find that there is a strange feeling that is difficult to get rid of, and your attention is deeply absorbed in it.
The three monsters shook their heads, finally managing to tear their attention away from the token, their faces turning deathly pale in an instant. The alluring woman stammered, "Ghost... King... Token!"
Yue Qianchou's face was ashen, and he slowly put away the token. Suddenly, an aura burst forth from his body, engulfing the three trembling figures. This kind of aura was unique to those in positions of power who had long controlled the lives and deaths of others; it was not something that could be faked. The three no longer dared to doubt that he was spouting nonsense and casually using the Demon King and Ghost King to shield them from disaster, and they all subconsciously took a step back.
The alluring woman's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but the moment she looked up, she met a pair of cold, merciless eyes that looked at her like an ant, as if they could crush her at any moment—just like the eyes on the Ghost King Token, indifferent to everything! Terrified, she lowered her head again, her body trembling even more. The three monsters secretly wished they could slap themselves. Knowing they couldn't see through the other's cultivation level, why weren't they more cautious? Didn't they consider that if the other person didn't have some skill, would they dare to roam the Demon Ghost Domain like this?
Kou Xuehua and the others were dumbfounded. The man who had just been so arrogant, saying he wanted to eat their flesh, was now as scared as a mouse in front of a cat, terrified by Yue Qianchou and not daring to lift his head. They didn't see the token Yue Qianchou was holding in his palm, nor did they hear what the alluring woman stammered. They only saw Yue Qianchou push the three monsters away, and they guessed that he had something in his hand that frightened them.
The three women slowly lowered their swords. They already held a blind admiration for Yue Qianchou Xiao Wanqing, and had never had the chance to see him unleash his power along the way. They never imagined that when he truly did, even the monster that Kou Xuehua feared and couldn't handle would be so terrified. Looking at Yue Qianchou's back, as majestic as a mountain and as unfathomable as an abyss, they felt a sense of security. Their eyes sparkled with wonder, filled with admiration.
"What? You're not going to eat my flesh anymore?" Yue Qianchou's voice drifted over like the cold air from an ancient ice age, devoid of any emotion, causing the people behind him to tense up.
Strangely, the three monsters were initially startled by his words, but after exchanging glances, they calmed down. Yue Qianchou suddenly saw a fierce glint in their eyes, as if they were about to do something big.
Yue Qianchou's heart skipped a beat, realizing he was in trouble. Damn it! He'd gone too far with his bravado; the three monsters probably thought he wouldn't let them off and were now considering taking a desperate gamble. His mind raced, and he spoke in a much gentler tone, "Fine, ignorance is no excuse. Judging from your appearance, you three haven't ventured deep into the southern Demon Ghost Domain's heartland! Those who have seen my master and me there wouldn't dare treat me like this in the Demon Ghost Domain. Even the Demon King and Ghost King here wouldn't dare."
The three monsters shuddered again, their eyes wide with shock. His master was in the heart of the Demon Ghost Domain? There was indeed a person in that place according to legend, someone that the demons and ghosts of the Demon Ghost Domain dared not even mention. Most of the low-level demons and ghosts didn't even know about him. How could he possibly know? Then there was only one possibility left: his master might really be that person. Otherwise, why would the Ghost General's Ghost King Token be given to an ordinary person? But they had never heard of that person having a disciple!
Suddenly, the alluring woman bit her lip, bowed, and pretended not to understand, asking, "May I ask who your master is? Could you tell us so we can broaden our horizons?" The other two demons also looked at him in agreement.
Damn it! None of the pretty women in this place are simple characters, but no matter how smart you are, you'll still have to drink my foot bath water. Yue Qianchou glanced at her and sighed leisurely, "As expected, you three ignorant little demons. Fine, I'll tell you my master's name so you can broaden your horizons and know who you can't afford to offend."
The three demons respectfully agreed repeatedly.
"My master's surname is... Bi... Shut up!" Yue Qianchou suddenly changed his tone and shouted sharply, as if he had remembered something. He didn't forget to turn his head and glance at the people behind him, then turned back and said in an icy tone, "Is my master's name something you can just ask about?"
The three demons exchanged glances. Sure enough, he was surnamed Bi. In this Demon Ghost Domain, only one person with the surname Bi was qualified to reside in the central Demon Ghost Domain —that was Bi Changchun, whose cultivation had reached the Spirit Transformation stage and who commanded respect throughout the entire Demon Ghost Domain Bi Changchun. Coincidentally, Yue Qianchou's actions, as seen by the three, seemed to suggest he didn't want those behind him to know who his master was, which was why he told them to shut up. If their master wasn't detached from worldly affairs, why worry about others knowing his name?
"We were wrong... Please forgive us, sir... We will never dare to inquire about your master's name again." The three demons had indeed intended to kill him to silence him, but now that they realized what they had done, they were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy repeatedly, and dared not have any more improper thoughts.
Just kidding. Anyone who knows Bi Changchun knows he's notoriously cold-blooded and ruthless. He can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist. If you displease him, there's never any reason to talk about it. There's only one outcome: death without mercy! If Bi Changchun's disciple were to have an accident in this area, which of the demons and ghosts in this area could escape? They would all be wiped out with a wave of his hand, their disciples buried with him.
Kou Xuehua and the others were stunned. At first, they thought Yue Qianchou was saying that his master's surname was Bi, but later they realized that he was telling them to shut up. They figured he must be making a fuss to scare the three demons. Otherwise, even if Elder Guan's name, they believed that few people in the Demon Ghost Domain would know it.
Yue Qianchou was secretly delighted; Bi Changchun's name was indeed effective in this area. After the three demons had kowtowed enough, he calmly waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'm not one to hold grudges. Since I said ignorance is no excuse, you three can rest assured and get up! Don't make me unhappy again, or there won't be a next time."
The three demons meekly got up and stood by his side, waiting for his orders.
"No need to be nervous." Yue Qianchou patted the old monster with yellow hair on the shoulder, looked around and laughed, "Look at how shrouded in spiritual mist, it has a bit of the misty Jiangnan region in the mortal world. The scenery is quite unique, let's go up the mountain and take a look!"
The three demons hurriedly bowed and led the way. But then they heard Yue Qianchou mutter softly behind them, "We could bring Master to take a look at this place sometime."
Upon hearing this, the three demons were stunned and stumbled, nearly collapsing in fright. They exchanged glances, wryly smiling. "My ancestors! Your arrival is trouble enough; please, please don't bring your master along! If he takes a dislike to us, a mere wave of his hand could mean the end of us!" But they couldn't utter a word of refusal. Would they not welcome Bi Changchun? If word got out, would they still have any place in the Demon Ghost Domain?
