Schemes to Subdue Two Great Demon Saints

"Haha..."

A Demon Saint with a deer's body, a sparrow's head, and horns laughed wildly, "Such a mere Human Race dares to be insolent in front of me, Fei Lian?"

Fei Lian?

Gu Changqing was slightly taken aback, then said, "And this one beside you must be Demon Saint E Lai, right?"

"It's your grandpa, E Lai!"

E Lai wore a fierce expression.

"Good, very good."

Gu Changqing nodded with a smile. Although E Lai wasn't one of the Ten Great Ancient Demon Saints, he was as renowned as Fei Lian.

Legend had it that King Zhou had two sycophantic ministers, one named Fei Lian and the other E Lai.

He wondered if these were the same two.

Anyway, he hadn't seen Fei Lian or E Lai in Chaoge before.

"Martial Nephew Changqing, these two are Demon Saints, with the strength of Quasi-Sages. Do you want me to deal with them for you?"

In Ran Deng's eyes, Gu Changqing was indeed strong, but not strong enough to contend with a Quasi-Sage.

"No need," Gu Changqing refused. "They're just two outdated Demon Saints."

Are you kidding? If you deal with them, where will Di Xin find capable generals later? These two certainly weren't truly loyal before, but don't I have them now?

Seeing Gu Changqing's confidence, Ran Deng remembered the Merit Treasure he possessed and felt relieved.

That's right, Merit Treasures are specifically designed to counter evil demons!

Fei Lian scoffed, "Hmph! Kid, you're not old, but your mouth is quite big."

Gu Changqing smiled, "Not only is my mouth big, but my strength isn't small either. Want to make a bet?"

"Bet on strength with us? Hahahaha..."

Even the experts of the Western Sect wanted to laugh.

You, a human, are going to compare strength with a Demon Clan member? Isn't that ridiculous?

Even Ran Deng wouldn't be so arrogant.

Fei Lian immediately replied, "Alright, I, this Demon Saint, will make a bet with you!"

I thought it would be a tough battle, but I didn't expect victory to come so easily.

Although he wasn't known for his strength, he was still a Demon Saint, and a member of the Demon Clan!

How much strength could Gu Changqing possibly have? No matter how extraordinary his talent, his bone age is still there.

He can hide his cultivation, but not his age!

How much strength can a young man in his twenties or thirties have?

Fei Lian then said, "If I win, you release the people of the Western Sect, alright?"

"Alright!" Gu Changqing replied, "If I'm lucky enough to win by even half a point, then you and E Lai will pledge loyalty to me."

"Deal!" Fei Lian agreed without hesitation, then added, "How do you want to compete?"

Gu Changqing smiled, "If you can withstand one of my palm strikes without falling back, then I lose."

"Good!" Fei Lian said smugly, "I can take ten of your palm strikes!"

Gu Changqing secretly sent a message to Di Xin, "Di Xin, lend me the Kongtong Seal for a moment."

"Alright!" In Chaoge, Di Xin agreed without thinking, then said, "Teacher, how did I just..." Di Xin didn't finish his sentence before the Human Emperor Seal within him vanished.

Gu Changqing directly used the exchange function. With one billion Merits, the Kongtong Seal was in his hand.

"I'll return it to you later!"

After speaking, Gu Changqing cut off contact with Di Xin.

With the Kongtong Seal in hand, can't I flatten a Demon Saint like you?

Gu Changqing quietly integrated the Kongtong Seal into his right hand and asked Fei Lian, "Are you ready?"

If Fei Lian truly intended to escape, few in the Primordial World could stop him.

But a gamble...

"Come on!"

Fei Lian beckoned to Gu Changqing with a finger.

Gu Changqing leaped up, striking Fei Lian with a palm from his right hand.

This palm strike was utterly unremarkable.

That's it?

The demons looked bewildered. This was letting up?

Ran Deng quietly turned away. I don't know such an idiot!

By the looks of it, that palm strike could shatter a large rock.

Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva was also dumbfounded. Did this kid change his mind? Does he want to intentionally lose the match?

Fei Lian, looking bewildered, sent out a palm strike, carefully controlling his strength, afraid of accidentally killing Gu Changqing.

If he accidentally killed Gu Changqing, and Saint Tong Tian came after them, their Demon Clan's last sanctuary would be gone.

Then...

Bang!

Fei Lian flew backward!

How is that possible?

The sudden reversal made everyone turn their heads.

Fei Lian's mind reeled even more.

That palm strike seemed unremarkable, with no discernible laws, yet it contained immense power.

He even had the illusion that if the other party hadn't held back, he wouldn't have even been a speck of dust.

"How was that?" Gu Changqing chuckled. "Want another chance?"

With the super brick in hand, what is there to fear from Fei Lian or E Lai?

"What happened?" E Lai asked, helping Fei Lian up. "Are you intentionally going easy?"

Fei Lian gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

If I were intentionally going easy, why would I have come here?

Gu Changqing looked at E Lai and said, "E Lai, do you want to try too?"

"I'll try if you want me to!"

E Lai said, striking a palm at Gu Changqing.

He simply didn't believe that such an ordinary palm strike could be that powerful!

Fei Lian wasn't known for his palm strength, but he was!

Boom!

E Lai flew backward, directly smashing into a mountain peak, breaking it.

The more force he put into his strike, the greater the rebound.

And the result... the more miserable he was!

Gu Changqing flew above E Lai and chuckled, "Want to go again?"

No matter how great your strength, can it be greater than the Kongtong Seal?

Heh!

E Lai looked bewildered.

He kept feeling like something was off. He was a Demon Saint!

A Demon Saint known for his strength!

How could he lose to a Human Race cultivator?

Why?

Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Nüwa...

Tell me, why?!

Am I a fake Demon Saint?

E Lai fell into self-doubt.

Ran Deng's eyes narrowed. He roughly guessed that Gu Changqing had used a magic treasure.

What kind of magic treasure could be so powerful?

The Heaven-Turning Seal isn't even this outrageous!

By this time, Fei Lian also reacted, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Before the match, there was no agreement that magic treasures couldn't be used.

Cunning human!

Fei Lian sighed inwardly, came before E Lai, helped him up, and said, "E Lai, we lost."

"Why?"

E Lai looked confused.

Fei Lian ignored E Lai, turned to Gu Changqing, and said, "Since you want us to pledge allegiance, can you at least tell us how we lost?"

Gu Changqing extended his right hand, and the Kongtong Seal floated into his palm.

The Kongtong Seal?

No wonder I lost!

"You cheated!"

Seeing the Kongtong Seal, E Lai immediately lunged at Gu Changqing.

How shameless!

We agreed to compete with palm strength, but you secretly used the Kongtong Seal!

"Come back!"

Fei Lian grabbed E Lai, saying, "A bet's a bet. We didn't agree beforehand that we couldn't use magic treasures."

Seeing Fei Lian's reaction, Gu Changqing thought a little more highly of him.

Anyone who survived the Witch Demon Calamity was certainly not an ordinary figure.

Holding the Kongtong Seal, Gu Changqing smiled. "You have no reason to complain about losing to the Kongtong Seal."

"Swear your allegiance."

"You'll be proud of your choice today in the future."

Gu Changqing wasn't afraid of them reneging. If they did, he wouldn't mind killing them on the spot.

"Fei Lian willingly pledges allegiance to Gu Changqing of the Human Race."

"E Lai willingly pledges allegiance to Gu Changqing of the Human Race."

The two Demon Saints made their Heavenly Dao vows.

Even if they were unwilling, a loss was a loss.

Congratulations, Host, on recruiting two Great Ancient Demon Saints. Reward: 100 billion Merits.

100 billion?

Recruiting Ancient Demon Saints is this good? 50 billion each?

Considering there weren't many Ancient Demon Saints left, Gu Changqing quickly accepted it.

Anyway, he could cultivate for a few more years.

This was worth it!
