Chapter 717: Chapter 718 The Secret of the Coffin

"Heh, if your father weren’t from the demon sect, do you think our Deputy Sect Leader would allow you to act recklessly? You would have been executed outside Black Dragon Island long ago," ridiculed a top demon sect expert.

Ye Wudao’s gaze was fixed on Dugu Ao as he asked, "What exactly is going on here?"

"This is a long story," Dugu Ao said lightly after taking a sip of tea. "Your father was once the Great Protector of the demon sect and had a close relationship with me! His strength and talent were not inferior to mine. In fact, he even had a chance to replace me and become the new Sect Leader of the demon sect, commanding a million members. Unfortunately, your father’s purpose in joining the demon sect was not that simple."

"Oh?" Ye Wudao looked puzzled.

"Our demon sect possesses a Book of Life and Death, which, along with the Shennong Scripture held by your mother, is known as one of the two great ancient scriptures. Combined, they could find the method to revive the dead!" Dugu Ao said with a faint smile. "Your father stole the demon sect’s Book of Life and Death, and when the matter was exposed, it implicated your entire family!"

"What?"

Ye Wudao couldn’t believe it and turned his gaze to the old rascal by his side.

"Godfather, did my father really steal the demon sect’s Book of Life and Death?"

The old rascal, puffing on his pipe, shook his head and said, "This matter is of great significance. You better remain ignorant until you reach the realm of War Saint!"

Then, the old rascal said to Dugu Ao, "Heh, Deputy Sect Leader Dugu, don’t you think so? It’s best not to involve the younger generation in the grievances of the past. This kid might not be much, but his character is still far better than that old demon, your father!"

"Heh, if I wanted to vent my anger on him, would this kid still be here?" Dugu Ao spoke with a ghostly smile, then asked, "Old rascal, you are not enjoying your days leisurely at Kunlun, so what brings you to our demon sect today?"

"Heh heh, obviously to propose a marriage!" the old rascal said with a grin.

Propose a marriage?

All the demon sect experts looked on with curiosity.

"Heh, I wonder which lady of the demon sect caught old rascal’s eye?" Dugu Ao asked with a smile.

"Your newly adopted daughter, Su Yueli," the old rascal said outright.

Whoosh!

Su Yueli!

Upon hearing these three words, dozens of War Saint-level experts in the demon sect angrily stood up.

"Old rascal, don’t you know Su Yueli is our Deputy Sect Leader’s adopted daughter?"

"Our Deputy Sect Leader has no daughters and regards the young miss as the apple of his eye, fearing she might melt away in his hands!"

"You are also a great power of Dragon Country. At your age, to covet our demon sect’s young miss is truly disrespectful and shameless!"

"Hey hey, meals can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken carelessly. Who said the damn old man wants to marry your demon sect’s young miss?" the old rascal retorted, glancing at the crowd, then pointing at Ye Wudao, he continued, "It’s him!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh whoosh!

All the demon sect experts stared intently at Ye Wudao. If looks could kill, Ye Wudao would have died ten thousand times over!

"Indeed, I have come today to take Yueli home!" Ye Wudao declared resolutely.

"Impudent!"

"Ye Wudao, what status are you to covet our Deputy Sect Leader’s daughter, the young miss of the demon sect?"

"Simply a toad lusting after swan meat!" a group of the demon sect’s top experts sneered.

Dugu Ao said with a charming smile, "Heh, old rascal, as you can see, it’s not just me; the entire demon sect disapproves!"

"Heh, Dugu Ao, whether you agree or not, you will have to agree," the old rascal said authoritatively.

These words from the old rascal instantly set off the fury in the room!

Bang!

An enraged top demon sect expert slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Old rascal, are you really taking our kindness for weakness?"

"This isn’t Kunlun; this is the demon sect!"

Dugu Ao sipped his tea, a terrifying murderous intent flitting across his eyes as he said softly, "Heh, old rascal, are you threatening me?"

"Threatening?" The old rascal laughed and replied, "If you feel threatened, then yes, consider it a threat!"

Boom!

Every one of the demon sect’s top experts stood up, their eyes fixed on the old rascal as if they were ready to start a fight at any moment.

Dugu Ao, sipping his tea, said, "Old rascal, I admit you are strong, but you should still think thrice. Don’t get yourself involved because of an outsider!"

"Dugu Ao, those words would carry some weight if they came from your father, but you, you’re not worthy!" the old rascal said with even harsher words.

Bang!

Dugu Ao was utterly furious as he erupted with a terrifying aura.

The old rascal’s eyes reflected a hint of surprise, "Seventh-rank pinnacle War Saint? Heh, no wonder the old demon willingly gave up such a huge inheritance to go into solitary confinement, leaving the demon sect in your hands, Dugu Ao. You have made no small progress in recent years!"

Hiss!

Seventh-rank pinnacle War Saint!

Ye Wudao sucked in his breath sharply upon hearing Dugu Ao’s realm!

Too terrifying!

He himself was only at the sixth-rank War Emperor realm!

And Dugu Ao was a full two major realms and then some above him!

"Old rascal, do you think I’m worthy enough to be your opponent?" Dugu Ao asked, his eyes full of murderous intent.

This was, after all, the Deputy Sect Leader who commanded a million in the demon sect. A single look or word from him could make the world shudder!

The old rascal took a puff from his dry pipe and declared, "You’re still not worthy to be my opponent!"

"Old rascal, as the saying goes, the older the person, the thicker their skin. You really epitomize that perfectly!"

"The shameless have no rivals in this world!"

"Even on the brink of death, you dare to be so arrogant!" the group of demon sect experts scoffed.

Ye Wudao broke out in a cold sweat for the old rascal!

Old man!

Would it kill you not to boast?

The very Deputy Sect Leader of the demon sect, a seventh-rank pinnacle War Saint, not worthy to be your opponent!

"Heh, since old rascal is unwilling to make a move, surely you don’t expect Ye Wudao to do it, do you?" Dugu Ao looked at Ye Wudao with a disdainful face.

In his eyes, Ye Wudao was nothing more than an ant at the War Emperor level!

Something he could extinguish with a flick of his finger!

"Heh, it’s not him, but his father!" the old rascal pointed at Ye Wudao and then abruptly rested his hand on the coffin.
