Earlier, Chen Shuangbai and his two companions had sped through the water mansion's gate, tearing a large opening in it and sneaking inside.
Those who were closer could clearly see his face, but those who were farther away probably wouldn't recognize him at first glance.
But Mo Jia pointed it out in a single sentence.
The atmosphere became even more delicate.
Daoist Xuanqing's eyes darted around, and he made up his mind. He laughed and said, "So it's True Person Xuhong of the Jade Spring Sect! I've long admired your name; it's legendary!"
"I had a guess just now, but I dared not confirm it."
"Now that the Demon King Moling has confirmed it, it is indeed a case of heroes emerging from among the young!"
Chen Shuangbai smiled faintly but didn't reply. He simply looked calmly at the one person and three demons and said in a low voice, "I do have the means to break the restrictions on this palace gate, but there are conditions for me to take action."
condition?
Before Daoist Xuanqing could speak, the Demon King Huaguang snorted coldly, his contempt almost overflowing, and sneered, "Conditions? Why don't I beat you up first and see if you can still come up with conditions!"
The Demon King Shuiying frowned slightly. He keenly sensed Chen Shuangbai's extraordinary abilities, but he didn't know what to say, so he simply remained silent. As for Mo Jia...
The Golden Core Demon King of Black Wall Cave looked at Chen Shuangbai with interest and said, " King Huaguang, please calm down for now. After all, we don't know if forcibly breaking this restriction will affect the treasures inside."
"If this True Person Xuhong can break the restriction, that would be ideal."
One person and four demons, each with their own thoughts.
But faced with the cauldron inside, emitting azure light, money still swayed people's hearts. Even if she had some objections to Chen Shuangbai, she ultimately agreed to his conditions.
Chen Shuangbai's condition was simple: after the restriction was lifted, he could take one treasure.
Demon King Huaguang was extremely angry, but Demon King Shuiying and Mo Jia both put pressure on him, so even someone as proud as him had no choice but to agree.
After reaching an agreement, Chen Shuangbai did not delay any longer. He walked to the front of the main hall, and the [ Fallen Toad Light ] burst forth from between his eyebrows, falling onto the three light curtains in front of the hall, which were the three restrictions.
The triple light barrier seemed to be corroded, revealing cracks one after another under the sweeping eerie light, before finally dissipating completely, revealing the scene inside the hall to everyone.
Whoosh!
A beam of colorful light passed over the crowd, flew into the hall, and swept towards the square cauldron, as if it intended to grab it and run away.
But the cauldron seemed heavier than ten thousand jun (a unit of weight), and no matter how the colorful light rolled over it, it did not budge an inch. Instead, the colorful light was dragged down by it and immediately fell, revealing the strange and beautiful figure of the Demon King Huaguang.
"Huh?"
He let out a soft "hmm," then turned his head to see the unfriendly gazes of the crowd.
Even the Demon King Huaguang felt a pang of unease, but still stubbornly insisted, "I was merely helping you test the mysteries of this cauldron."
You don't need to look at me like that!
The two humans and two demons went inside.
This square cauldron stands in the very center of the hall. It is dark blue-green in color, with four legs and two handles. The body of the cauldron is carved with countless intricate cloud and animal patterns. It has no lid, and a bluish-green light gushes out from the mouth of the cauldron.
The two humans and three demons flew into the air and looked into the cauldron, but they could only see green light surging out, and they could not see what was inside. Even Chen Shuangbai's pupil Divine Ability could not see clearly.
It's definitely good stuff.
As Chen Shuangbai pondered this, she noticed that the human and demon beside her also had their eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought.
"I'll take this cauldron."
His words caused a stir among those present.
Daoist Xuanqing was the first to step forward, his tone indignant, "No way!"
Chen Shuangbai looked over with her jade-like eyes and said indifferently, "Everyone, don't forget the agreement we just made."
Daoist Xuanqing was momentarily speechless, his tone softening slightly, but his attitude remained resolute. He shouted, "An agreement is an agreement, but as you yourself have seen, True Person Xuhong, there are no other treasures within this palace besides this square cauldron."
"If you take it, wouldn't we have wasted our time and effort?"
The three demon kings also looked displeased.
Especially the Peacock Demon King Huaguang, who opened his mouth and said sternly, "See? I told you long ago, human cultivators are treacherous and cunning, and the most untrustworthy... You two still harbored illusions, thinking..."
Whoosh!
Before the Demon King Huaguang could finish his sentence, his demonic heart was already pounding. Under this deadly crisis, the Golden Core Demon King emitted a five-colored light from behind, but was struck head-on by a golden and jade-colored light, which sent him flying out of the palace and disappearing among the many palace gates.
After a few breaths.
The golden and jade-colored light flew back from outside the hall and landed in Chen Shuangbai's left palm, transforming into a golden and jade magic ring that was constantly moving and had many demon-subduing proverbs floating on its surface. It emitted a dazzling golden and jade-colored light.
The remaining people in the hall, apart from Chen Shuangbai, the one human and two demons, immediately became alert, their eyes warily fixed on Chen Shuangbai who had suddenly attacked.
Daoist Xuanqing was especially frightened. He subconsciously took half a step back, his jade whisk trembling slightly, and his voice was somewhat hoarse. " True Person Xuhong... what... what are you doing?!"
The two Golden Core demon kings also looked at Chen Shuangbai with great suspicion.
Chen Shuangbai held the [ Azure Sea Hanging Rainbow Dragon-Binding Ring ] in his left hand, showing no intention of taking it back. He looked at Daoist Xuanqing and the two demon kings, his expression calm and his tone indifferent. "Everyone, there's no need to be nervous."
"I'm simply asking the Demon King Huaguang to leave temporarily so we can have a calm and peaceful discussion."
"Talk?"
Mo Jia was also taken aback by Chen Shuangbai's audacity, and said coldly, "You injured someone, and you still want to talk to us?!"
Chen Shuangbai eyes darted around, finally settling on the demon king. Her tone was utterly indifferent as she slowly spoke:
"I think everyone has misunderstood what I just said."
And so, the man and the two demons heard the Daoist utter these words—
"The conditions I just presented were not a request, but rather an explanation."
Daoist Xuanqing's face turned red and purple.
Mo Jia's face turned ashen. Even though the Demon King Shuiying was considered to have a good temperament among the Golden Core Demon Kings, his expression was not good at this moment. He was also incredulous at Chen Shuangbai's domineering attitude.
Splash!
A sound like the deep sea echoed from inside the hall. In the blink of an eye, Mo Jia transformed into the terrifying Ink Spirit Python, with a single horn on its head and three protruding rings on it. Its body was covered with scales, layer upon layer, gleaming like metal with a cold light, carrying the aura of blood and gore. Its two eyes, as big as cartwheels, stared intently at Chen Shuangbai.
Mo Jia's chilling voice came from the python's mouth, venomously saying, "A mere Early Golden Core Stage cultivator, who has only condensed his Golden Core less than ten years ago, has quite the arrogance!"
Facing this behemoth, Chen Shuangbai showed no fear whatsoever. The [ Azure Sea Hanging Rainbow Dragon-Binding Ring ] in his left palm slowly rotated, and the Daoist's clear yet arrogant voice rang out in the hall.
"Then... there's nothing more to discuss!"
That's all.
Inside the hall, frost and snow swirled, wind and thunder roared, water vapor filled the air, and a scene of stench and bloodshed unfolded.
