The Well-Mannered Demon Lord
Zhang Yang could not refuse the departure of Gudoer and the other Demon Lord, because the Demon Lord had not recovered their strength and were already in a weakened state.
Now that all the other Demon Lord have recovered, only a Demon Lord have not. In addition, these few Demon Lord have contributed a lot to the Azure Cloud Sect, so it is only right and proper that they be allowed to recover their Demon Lord.
However, Gudoer was too cunning, and the fact that Gudoer had joined forces with other Demon Lord always made him uneasy.
That's why he hoped that Gudoer would eventually come back.
"No problem!" Gudoer readily agreed. "My strength should be restored in a year, and I'll come back then! By the way, the younger generation doesn't need to leave; let them stay in the Azure Cloud Sect."
I think you'd be interested in having Azure Cloud Sect disciple come and challenge them, right?
When the time is right, you should contact them.
Zhang Yang nodded; he did indeed have such a plan.
Since the Azure Cloud Sect disciples are very likely to clash with the Devil Race in the Prodigy Battlefield, it's good for them to get used to it beforehand.
Subsequently, Gudoer, Gu Meiying, and several other Demon Lord who had not yet regained their strength set off together for the Overseas Demon Domain.
Gu Xue and Gu Yin, having fully recovered their strength, remained at the Azure Cloud Sect.
Gudoer and Gu Meiying, along with several other Demon Lord, traveled at full speed and arrived at the Overseas Demon Domain in two days.
"My lord!" Many Demon Lord paid their respects to Gudoer, including the newly arrived Dao Realm Demon Lord and a group of lesser Demon Lord.
Gudoer waved his hand and said calmly, "Gu Yan, Gu Bing, Gu Qiang, you must set off for the Azure Cloud Sect immediately. Zhou Xuansheng has become True Immortal Realm and will probably make his move soon. Gu Yan will be the one to stop him then."
"Only use 80% of your strength, don't kill Zhou Xuansheng, he still has a use!"
"Yes!" Gu Yan nodded.
Subsequently, the three Demon Lords at the Dao Realm Pinnacle also set off for the Azure Cloud Sect.
After the three Demon Lord left, Gudoer looked at the newly arrived Demon Lord from the Demon Realm and asked, "Pi Lin, what are the Demon Venerable's orders?"
"Yes!" Pi Lin nodded.
When the Gu Xue asked last time, Pi Lin replied that he had no other instructions and that everything was up to the few Demon Lord.
Now, Gudoer inquired, the answer was different again.
"The disappearance of the Creation Spirit Hall is no accident," Pi Lin said solemnly. "The Demon Venerable Lord believes that a tremendous change must have occurred, and he demands that we investigate the cause thoroughly."
Furthermore, more than twenty years later, the Demon Venerable Lord hopes that Your Highness can return.
Gudoer shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Finding the cause is no problem, but His Highness is probably lost!"
"Huh?" Pi Lin exclaimed in surprise.
Gudoer sighed and said, "This kid is too vigilant. I've tried many methods, but none of them have been able to get him to open the Demon Domain. Since he doesn't follow the Demon Dao, he naturally can't go back. But I can rest assured that one day in the Future, we will definitely see him among the great figures of the world. It's just... at that time, he will no longer be a member of my Demon Dao!"
Pi Lin couldn't help but give a wry smile.
This is getting messed up...
Gudoer looked at the little Demon Lord and instructed, "Once we enter the Prodigy Battlefield, find a way to provoke him and make him demonize! He's consumed Devil Fruit; as long as his killing intent returns, the demonization should succeed..."
As for the consequences of provoking him, Gudoer didn't care.
They are Demon Lord, not good people!
"Yes, sir!" the many little Demon Lord answered in unison.
After a moment's thought, Gudoer said, "I'll go to Heavenly Heart Island first, settle things, and then come back to recover my cultivation."
Then, he left the Demon Domain and headed straight for Heavenly Heart Island.
He stopped a thousand miles from Heavenly Heart Island and sent a telepathic message to the Heavenly Heart Island: "Gudoer of the Demon Realm requests a meeting with Lady Heavenly Heart!"
On Heavenly Heart Island, Lady Heavenly Heart's expression changed upon hearing Gudoer's telepathic message.
Following the Ghost Realm Envoys, has the Demon Lord arrived as well?
Compared to the menacing arrival of the Ghost Realm Envoys, this Demon Lord was much more polite.
She pondered for a moment, then went alone to meet Gudoer, looking around as she asked, "What do you want to say?"
Gudoer smiled slightly, "Madam, there's no need to be nervous... In terms of cultivation level, I'm equivalent to the True Immortal Realm, and the Demonic Weapon in my hand is equivalent to Immortal Artifact. The reason I've come to see you is to discuss something."
Lady Heavenly Heart fell silent.
She understood what Gudoer meant and slowly asked, "What exactly is your purpose?"
Gudoer pointed towards the Demon Domain not far away and said, "That place is our Devil Race Demon Domain, where several of our kin reside... you can think of them as True Immortal Realm. We are here for the Prodigy Battlefield, so you have no need to panic."
Lady Heavenly Heart turned pale and couldn't utter a single word.
How could she not panic?
Even if Heavenly Heart Island used all its resources, it wouldn't be able to withstand the power of several True Immortal Realm, would it?
"One of the reasons we're staying here is to help Heavenly Heart Island defend against the Ghost Realm Envoys who will appear in a few years," Gudoer said earnestly. "That Ghost Realm Envoys is here to destroy Heavenly Heart Island."
But we are not.
Of course, we didn't go without any reward for helping Heavenly Heart Island defend against the Ghost Realm Envoys.
The Immortal Artifact, the Years Shuttle, carries the Time Power; it seems we'll have to take this Immortal Artifact with us."
He simply recounted the events without any intention of discussing them with Lady Heavenly Heart.
"We have a cooperative relationship with the Azure Cloud Sect," Gudoer continued. "The alliance between Heavenly Heart Island and the Azure Cloud Sect also makes them allies of us for now!"
"We've taken the Years Shuttle, and we can offer you some compensation. Madam, you can tell us what you desire."
Lady Heavenly Heart looked at the polite but rude Demon Lord before her, who was now uttering the most impolite words, leaving her somewhat bewildered.
Stealing Immortal Artifact, and doing it so openly and honestly?
But what could she do?
You won't agree?
Did they discuss it with them?
Lady Heavenly Heart smiled bitterly and asked, "How do you plan to compensate us?"
The Immortal Artifact is definitely lost, so what would be the best thing to retrieve?
She didn't know.
"How about I offer you a few options, Madam?" Gudoer said with a smile. "First, I can guarantee that Heavenly Heart Island will not be affected by this Prodigy Battlefield, and that the people of Heavenly Heart Island can enter the Prodigy Battlefield safely. Of course, once they enter the Prodigy Battlefield, it will be none of our business."
Secondly, we'll steal an Immortal Artifact to return to you.
Thirdly... life on Heavenly Heart Island is far too difficult in this world, why not join our Demon Realm!
"We in the Demon Realm would very much welcome the abilities of Heavenly Heart Island."
Lady Heavenly Heart fell silent again.
This... really is...
It's true that if you're weak, you'll get bullied!
Lady Heavenly Heart was filled with bitterness; what choice should she make?
Join the Demon Realm?
Is that place safe to go?
Isn't this like throwing lambs to the slaughter?
Stealing someone else's Immortal Artifact to repay a debt?
Where else can you steal Immortal Artifact?
Other sects, having had their Immortal Artifact stolen, naturally wouldn't dare to cause trouble for the Demon Lord. But wouldn't other sects dare to cause trouble for Heavenly Heart Island?
Therefore, there is actually only one road to Heavenly Heart Island!
However, this is equivalent to losing an Immortal Artifact for nothing...
Thinking of this, Lady Heavenly Heart felt a pain in her chest from anger.
She said expressionlessly, "Sir, you didn't give me any other options... I can only choose one."
Gudoer shook his head and said, "Madam, you may feel you've lost out now, but you'll realize how much you've gained later. Farewell!"
Gudoer turned and walked towards the Demon Domain.
Lady Heavenly Heart snorted coldly and returned to Heavenly Heart Island.
She felt that today was a really terrible day!
