Chapter 515: Chapter 11: Can Bend and Stretch

Facing the crisis, Qing Yu stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed.

Sword Light danced around his body—green Sword Qi swirling, shredding everything foreign.

Xuanyin Sword Armor.

Frost bite and ax force assaulted him, but both were obliterated by the barrier of Sword Qi. Qing Yu didn’t need to move a single step to neutralize the combined attacks of two opponents.

"Is that all it comes to?" Qing Yu shook his head with a sigh, his tone showing a hint of disappointment, or perhaps just contemplation.

"Stop, you two outcasts, and you sir."

At that moment, the Demon Young Master lifted his hood, revealing a sinister face.

Hmm... yes, sinister.

It must be said that the level of the world also impacts how certain traits are pronounced. For example, in Qing Yu’s previous life, ordinary people trying to give an evil grin would only end up grinning awkwardly.

But in this world, once you reach the Divine Origin Realm, with spiritual power to show your true nature, not just an evil grin, even a ghostly smile or stars-like bright eyes could be realistically expressed.

Ahem, back to the matter at hand, the boldness of the Demon Young Master was not due to his sinister face but rather the dark-glowing command token in his hand.

The command token, flickering with black light enveloped by Demonic Qi, presented a significant threat to Qing Yu.

"If you still refuse to stop, then don’t blame me for using this Heavenly Demon Absolute Slaughter Order."

The Heavenly Demon Absolute Slaughter Order. Although Qing Yu did not know the origins of this item, he could sense the threat it embodied.

If this so-called Heavenly Demon Absolute Slaughter Order were to be activated, he feared it would leave him either dead or severely wounded.

Gliding gently, Qing Yu’s figure slowly landed on the low wall behind, his gaze indifferently overlooking Tong Pi and Shi Xuanlan, who had also ceased their movements.

"Hmph, I’ll spare your life this time," Tong Pi said gruffly as he slammed his giant axe into the ground, carving a huge gash, then walked over to the side of the Demon Young Master.

On the other side, Shi Xuanlan also quietly floated over to the other side of the Demon Young Master.

"This gentleman here, I am Bai Shaoling from the Heavenly Demon Palace. These two are Shi Xuanlan and Tong Pi from the Shiyin Hall of our palace. May I ask for your distinguished name?" said the Demon Young Master Bai Shaoling.

’This Demon Young Master, his disposition seems to have changed quite a bit.’ Qing Yu noticed that the previously haughty and unparalleled Demon Path noble now assumed a humbler stance, but Qing Yu did not think less of him for it; rather, he noted that this person’s mental state seemed substantially elevated from before.

In the past, aside from his decent Martial Arts skills, arrogance was written all over the Demon Young Master.

To be honest, Qing Yu found it hard to see a man so full of arrogance succeeding in the Demon Path.

Remember, the Demon Path is different from the Righteous Path—often, it’s a place where disliking someone is a reason enough to draw a blade to kill. Just like Yun Wuyue, who developed a murderous intent after being harassed by the Demon Young Master a few times.

In the Righteous Path, even if you’re like a bothersome fly, hovering around knight-errant women or holy women all day, you’d only face some hardships and adversity.

Of course, there might also be some hidden attacks by guards of the women, but it won’t be as direct as in the Demon Path.

To Qing Yu, if it were the old Demon Young Master, even if he had a powerful backing, he would still face difficulties in the future. But the current Demon Young Master, who knows how to bend and flex, whether or not he can become a significant figure on the Demon Path is unknown, but at least he wouldn’t be killed by some old demon due to a moment of hotheadedness.

Perhaps it was the humiliation he had suffered previously at the hands of that old man, Lin Huaigou from Nanjiang Fisherman, that made the today’s Demon Young Master shed his arrogance, showing considerable progress from before.

He had certainly become a noteworthy opponent.

However, that was all.

Qing Yu was now in the True Pill Realm, while the Demon Young Master was still hovering in the Divine Origin Realm. By the time he advanced to the True Pill, Qing Yu might have reached the peak of the True Pill Realm or even ascended to Divinity.

It wasn’t just him, others like Yuan Jianyi, aside from Shi Jue, who always kept hidden deeper than the sea and had absorbed a great deal of spirit and blood energy from the Divinity Realm, the rest would only fall further behind Qing Yu if they didn’t advance to the True Pill soon.

"This does seem a bit negotiable. I am the Hidden Mirror Man," Qing Yu said with a deep chuckle, "tell me, what business brings you to me?"

"You..." Tong Pi once again couldn’t help but grip his huge axe, wanting to fight Qing Yu.

Previously the Demon Young Master Bai Shaoling had refused to reveal his real name, and now he himself used a clearly forged name. Wasn’t this toying with people?

Dark blue frost marks quietly climbed up Tong Pi’s arms. He turned to see Shi Xuanlan gently shaking her head.

The opponent had actually shown mercy before; otherwise, with his elusive movement technique, bypassing them and directly killing the Demon Young Master would have been effortless.

Even the surprisingly strange attack from before, if it really had been a matter of life and death, would have left the Demon Young Master dead by now.

Under such circumstances, it was better not to show off.

Tong Pi and Shi Xuanlan’s subtle gestures naturally did not escape Qing Yu’s notice. Seeing this, Qing Yu simply ignored Tong Pi’s dissatisfaction and continued to focus on the leading Demon Young Master.

The earlier action was only to subdue these rebellious Demonic People, making them understand their place. To act again now would be a loss.

"Your Excellency, we come this time to make a deal with the Shadow Pavilion," the Demon Young Master looked Qing Yu in the eye, "Last June, in Cuige Town, the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance came forth, and everyone competed for it. I was fortunate to snatch the upper half of the ’Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation’ from Gong Ziyu. I thought I had gained greatly, but unfortunately, the most crucial pages of the ’Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation’ still remained in Gong Ziyu’s hands."

"So, you want those fragment pages of the ’Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation’?" Qing Yu asked.

"Indeed," the Demon Young Master nodded, "We don’t need the lower half of the ’Geodetic Secret Manual’; having the complete ’Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation’ is enough. Just let us obtain those fragment pages, and the Heavenly Demon Palace will give Yu Jian Manor a lesson."

"This does sound like an intriguing deal..."

The former Gong Ziyu shook his head, "Unfortunately, Gong Ziyu has died. If you want those pages, you might have to go underground and ask Gong Ziyu himself."

"Your Excellency, let’s speak openly, the Azure Dragon Association has always been covertly supported by the Shadow Pavilion, and this, our Heavenly Demon Palace has verified. We have also thoroughly searched the body and mansion of Sixth Prince Feng Chaonan of Northern Zhou; however, let alone those fragment pages, even the complete book ’Geodetic Secret Manual’ is nowhere to be found.

Thus, do you still deny that Gong Ziyu was working for the Shadow Pavilion?" the Demon Young Master directly countered.

Softly yet firmly, the earlier low posture didn’t mean he was now weak, this Demon Young Master had truly grown.

’Pity Wuyue probably won’t give you the chance,’ Qing Yu thought silently.

Wuyue had a determined intent to kill, and for some reason, the Yin Demon Sect had been deploying forces recently, preparing to target the demon envoys of the Heavenly Demon Palace patrolling various regions. It seemed the Demon Young Master’s days were numbered.

Well then, the author overestimated himself, initially thought he could achieve five updates today, but turns out only four updates are possible tonight. Seems like aiming for five updates will require including daytime hours.
