The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 746

Chapter 746: Chapter 742: Discuss the World Chapter 746: Chapter 742: Discuss the World Hundreds of Li outside of Jilei Mountain, in a dark valley, there were indeed a dozen large green arrays set up, functioning rapidly, releasing rays of green light.

Black Skeleton, Manager Ma, the Black Tiger Demon Creature, and other demons who previously attacked Jilei Mountain were all here. However, they all looked disheveled, and many of the little demons were severely injured.

“Damn it! I didn't expect that the old bull would suddenly arrive at a crucial moment. Fortunately, Honorable One, you were thoughtful and set up the Yimu Immortal Array in this valley in advance, and quickly teleported us back. Otherwise, we would all have died under that Banana Fan.” Manager Ma cursed angrily, then respectfully spoke to Black Skeleton.

The other demons also agreed and praised Black Skeleton for his foresight and wisdom.

The Purple Pheasant and Bald Big Man who had previously attacked Jilei Mountain also came over, and these two were surprisingly Black Skeleton's subordinates.

“The Jade Fox Clan and Bull Demon King are close. If Jilei Mountain was attacked, the Bull Demon King would not sit idly by. Also, the reason I arranged for you to attack Jilei Mountain was to draw the Bull Demon King here,” Black Skeleton said indifferently.

“I see, you thought well ahead. What shall we do next?” The Black Tiger Demon Creature, who was captured by Shen Luo after a single move and was quite ashamed, perked up after hearing Black Skeleton's words and asked.

“You can rest and recuperate here for now. I have some preparations to make. Once that's done, I guarantee even that Bull Demon King will have to obediently obey our orders,” Black Skeleton said with a hint of a smile on his lips.

Although the other demons did not understand, they all agreed.

Inside the cave mansion of Cloud Brushing Cave, Shen Luo was surrounded by golden light, with the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi gathering from all directions. His mana expended from the previous battle quickly recovered.

Just as he was about to continue consolidating his cultivation level, a knock on the door resounded from outside.

Shen Luo investigated with his Divine Sense, and his face showed a trace of surprise. He got up and opened the door.

A tall figure stood outside – it was the Bull Demon King.

“So it's the Ping Tian Saint, please come in,” Shen Luo said with a smile.

“Brother Shen, there's no need to be so formal. We, from the Demon Clan, don't like these rituals. If you respect me, you can simply call me Old Bull,” the Bull Demon King laughed heartily.

“If that's the case, I will boldly address you as Brother Niu,” Shen Luo said, knowing the nature of the Demon Clan and not insisting otherwise. He laughed heartily.

The Bull Demon King was magnanimous, and Shen Luo was also very generous. The two went through some formalities and quickly became familiar with each other.

“May I ask the reason Brother Niu visited me?” Shen Luo asked after inviting the Bull Demon King to sit down.

“Brother Shen, I suppose you've heard about my relationship with the Fox Clan, haven't you?” The Bull Demon King sighed slightly and asked in return.

“I heard some about it,” Shen Luo truthfully nodded.

“Back then, I rashly made a decision that brought a great enemy upon us, causing the Jade Face to die in tragedy. I've been feeling guilty all these years and have been trying hard to compensate the Fox Clan. However, as you've seen, the Ten Thousand Years Fox King has always been cold towards me. Brother Shen, you are a prestigious guest of the Fox King. If there's an opportunity in the future, could you please speak well of me and fulfil this long-standing wish of mine? I would be eternally grateful,” the Bull Demon King said earnestly.

“Since Brother Niu has spoken, I cannot refuse. I will certainly find opportunities to appease the situation on your behalf. Actually, I think that while the Fox King may seem cold towards you on the outside, he recognizes your worth on the inside,” Shen Luo earnestly promised, and then added.

“Really?” The Bull Demon King's face lit up.

“I am confident that I was not mistaken. When Brother Niu first arrived, the Fox King's initial joy instantly turned into anger, a reaction that needs no further interpretation,” said Shen Luo.

“I hope so,” the Bull Demon King replied with a hint of happiness.

“Right, when I was conversing with the Fox King earlier, he mentioned that your visit to Jilei Mountain was intentionally meant to seek me out. What is the purpose?” asked the Bull Demon King, his happiness dissipating.

“What does Brother Niu think about the current state of the world?” Shen Luo responded with a question of his own after a moment of silence.

“The state of the world? With the rise of the Demon Clan, chaos has been churned across the land, forcing humans, demons, and immortals alike to retreat. Why would Brother Shen ask such a question?” The Bull Demon King asked, a hint of surprise fleetingly gracing his features.

“With the current world in chaos, it's said that everyone has a responsibility when the world is in fortune or calamity. Although my powers are insignificant, I can't bear to see the living beings suffer at the hands of the Demon Clan. I am trying to negotiate alliances with various strong factions to resist the Demon Clan. Is Brother Niu willing to join forces with me to accomplish this monumental task for the sake of the world's populace?” Shen Luo asked passionately, watching the Bull Demon King attentively.

Hearing Shen Luo's words, the smile slowly disappeared from the Bull Demon King's face, replaced by a touch of indifference.

“It seems that Brother Niu is not interested in this?”, Shen Luo asked, hiding a slight disappointment beneath his calm expression.

“May I ask from which Immortal Mountain Brother Shen hails?” the Bull Demon King inquired.

“I am a mere Freelance Cultivator. However, I was fortunate enough to have visited the ruins of Mount Fangcun once and acquired a few skills and secret techniques, so I suppose you could consider me half a disciple of Mount Fangcun.” Shen Luo replied truthfully.

“A disciple of Mount Fangcun? No wonder there's a breath of the Huangting Technique upon you, but I also sense my Third Brother's Qi, Peng Demon King, on you.” Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King's indifferent expression softened a little.

“The details of this story are somewhat lengthy. Previously, I was escorting a group of people to the Eastern Sea … ” Shen Luo recounted his experiences of being swallowed by the Peng Demon and gaining Peng Demon King's Gold and Silver Wings, although he chose not to reveal his encounters with Li Jing, the Heavenly Book, and the Xuanhuang Tower in the belly of the Peng Demon, instead explaining that he and Ao Hong had combined their efforts to find a way to escape from the Peng Demon's belly.

“What! My third brother has fallen?!” The Bull Demon King exclaimed with a huge change in expression, abruptly standing up.

“Please accept my condolences, Brother Niu,” he replied, not knowing how to comfort the Bull Demon King.

“The glory days when our Demon Race's seven Great Saints held sway across the world were majestic indeed. I never thought my third brother would fade away so silently,” lamented the Bull Demon King, pounding his chest in grief.

“From my observations and the narrations from the people of the East Sea Dragon Palace, it seems that the Peng Demon King had been controlled by the Demon Clan with Demonic Qi. The demonic body couldn't bear the onslaught of Demonic Qi, resulting in the body turning into White Bones.” Shen Luo shared the details once the Bull Demon King had somewhat calmed down.

“Damned demons! You killed my third brother. I swear we won't be called demons if we don't avenge him!” the Bull Demon King exclaimed with rage.

Shen Luo was quietly pleased by this turn of events.

“Brother Shen, thank you for bring me the news about my third brother. But tell me the truth, are you acting on behalf of others, seeking to build an alliance with this old bull to fight against the Demon Clan?” The Bull Demon King abruptly swiveled his head towards Shen Luo, his gaze sharp as a blade.

Shen Luo was caught off guard by the Bull Demon King's intense gaze, that made it feel as if his secrets were laid bare.

“This Bull Demon King has an incredibly strong Soul Power, he has definitely reached the Taiyi Realm!” He was inwardly taken aback.

“Since Brother Niu has been forthright in his query, it is only right for me not to obscure the truth. Yes, indeed, there is someone who wishes to join forces with you, and so entrusted me to come to Jilei Mountain on their behalf,” Shen Luo said without hesitating, choosing not to conceal the truth from the Bull Demon King.
