"It is truly impolite of me to fail to warmly welcome the Lord of the Court. Five-Colored Enchantress, why don't you offer me a seat and serve me tea?"
"General, you're too kind."
As Zhao Muzun gazed at Teng Xie, who was sitting in the War General's chair, he couldn't help but recall that this demon was just one of the vanguards of the Demon Realm back then, but now he was in charge of the Demon Realm and commanded all the demons.
It is truly a case of times changing.
"Does the Court Master have come to visit in secret because of some personal matter he wishes to discuss with me?"
"Uh, this."
Zhao Muzun also realized what he was doing sneakily. The Public Court had already signed an agreement with the Demon Realm, and he had a legitimate reason to come openly.
"No, I have come here because the Public Court has a matter that requires the assistance of the Demon Realm..."
Zhao Muzun explained that to awaken Wolongxing, the Demon Realm's secret technique of skull-piercing magnetic shock was required. He then asked, "I wonder if the Demon Realm would be so kind as to offer their assistance?"
"Well... offering help is no problem, but as for whether I'll be stingy, you know me, Master. I never make promises without conditions."
Zhao Muzun nodded. Now everyone knows that the Demon Realm's War General won't act without a reason. "War General, please speak freely about your conditions."
"The conditions... Well, Lord Court, your secret visit is perfect. I have some things to say, something that can be said by me and heard by you, and it will only take place here in this main hall. I won't acknowledge it outside of here."
Hmm? Zhao Muzun's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "What shady business do you have to discuss with me? This is getting interesting."
"Don't worry, General, I won't tell anyone about this conversation. Please feel free to speak your mind."
"Oh dear, the Court Master is indeed a straightforward person. Then I'll be frank. I have three conditions. First, the Court must commission the Seven-Skill Divine Camel to forge a weapon."
As he spoke, Tengxie conjured a small piece of Demon-Slaying Holy Silver and a three-inch-long piece of Evil Blade. "This weapon requires the perfect fusion of these two materials."
Zhao Muzun took the two materials and a thought struck him: what secrets lay behind them?
"Alright, I will do my utmost to make this happen. And the second point?"
"Secondly, the Court will no longer target Youyan Zhengfu. The Demon Realm has recently been cooperating with Youyan Zhengfu, though of course, it has nothing to do with any conspiracy to overthrow the martial world. However, I also hope that Youyan Zhengfu can continue to operate smoothly for a while longer. And for this, the Court Master needs to find a suitable reason himself, without involving the Demon Realm."
The demon realm has indeed secretly cast its net far and wide; though it appears calm on the surface, there are actually undercurrents surging beneath... "This matter is not difficult."
Zhao Muzun never intended to benefit the martial arts world; he only wanted to benefit himself and awaken Wolongxing to uncover the secret of the divine artifact.
"And what about the third one?"
"Third, the Court Master will need to cooperate with me on something in the future. This matter will not affect the Court Master's personal interests, but I cannot disclose the specifics at this time."
Zhao Muzun pondered for a moment, sensing that the other party was becoming increasingly profound and unfathomable, but still nodded and said, "Alright, the general can make his request when the time comes."
"Ah, it was truly a pleasure to talk with the Court Master. He is an excellent person to converse with; we should continue to maintain this good relationship."
Zhao Muzun nodded. This was also one of the purposes of his visit: to use the resources of the Public Court to help him improve his relationship with the Demon Realm. In the future, when he plotted to seize the divine artifact, he would definitely be able to borrow the power of the Demon Realm.
"That would be for the best."
after.
After the deal was finalized, Zhao Muzun secretly left the Demon Realm and returned to the Public Court. From afar, he saw Tian Sheng Ziyue. Inside the Public Court, energy erupted, creating a loud and lively scene.
He quickened his pace and frowned to himself. Who released the Crouching Dragon Journey?
Could it be the holder of the Heavenly Journey, that so-called demon monk, Immovable?
No, this person is extremely arrogant; he'll just come and rob us directly... Could it be...?
Zhao Muzun suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately slowed down... If he was a step too late and Wolongxing snatched the artifact, he could follow Wolongxing and take advantage of the situation to get the artifact without anyone noticing.
however.
Just as Zhao Muzun was making his plans, he saw a blurry figure flash by, and then Wolongxing transformed into a purple light and chased after him.
Oh no! Zhao Muzun was immediately alarmed; someone had beaten him to it!
Zhao Muzun quickly transformed into a beam of light and flew away, arriving at the courtroom in a short while.
The backyard was a scene of ruins. Nanming Daozhen, Chu Junyi, and Bo Hongyan all had red lips. More than a dozen of the four generals' subordinates and the martial arts people who had joined the Public Court were all blown to pieces.
Zhao Muzun quickly adopted a concerned expression and asked in a deep voice, "Is everyone alright? What exactly happened?"
"Who knows!"
Nanming Daozhen was furious and shouted, "That damned Wolongxing suddenly barged in! Ru Duling, Bo Hongyan, and I fought back with all our might, but suddenly a figure rushed into the warehouse..."
"Report! Your Excellency, both of you have commanded... something terrible has happened!"
Suddenly, an officer rushed in, interrupting Nanming Daozhen, which only fueled his anger. "Nonsense! You're only just realizing that?!"
"The Daodu Commander."
Chu Junyi, calm and composed, stopped Nanming Daozhen from venting his anger and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"Someone has killed the Guardian of the Divine Artifact, Thousand Waves, and stolen the power to shake the heavens!"
"ah?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Zhao Muzun was especially anxious and rushed to the storeroom, only to find that the power to shake the heavens had indeed been stolen. Fortunately, the protection of the unsolvable and the power to shake the heavens were hidden in different secret compartments, and with the help of the Crouching Dragon Journey to pursue the artifacts, the person who stole the artifacts did not have time to search for them.
"Ah, the thousand waves..."
Despite his inner resentment, Zhao Muzun's performance was flawless, conveying his emotions perfectly. After a period of deep sorrow, he began to consider how to explain the situation to the four of them, and how he would personally safeguard the indissoluble barrier.
Furthermore, now that this has happened, he needs to contact Yin Qiujun as soon as possible to find out who released Wolongxing.
the other side.
"Public courts are nothing special, hahaha..."
Gui Liangtianxia looked at the power to shake the heavens in his hand and laughed smugly.
He had expected the court to present him with some difficult problems, but when he arrived, he found that they had only prepared a minor protector. Couldn't they have at least sent Ye Xiaochai to guard the artifact?
However, the appearance of Wolongxing is quite suspicious, and it seems that there are still people with ulterior motives in the dark.
But it doesn't matter. Now that we have three divine artifacts in hand, with the power to shake the heavens and the five crippling moves, who can defeat us?
Gui Liangtianxia became increasingly smug, even having the urge to storm into the Demon Realm and kill the Demon Realm's War Commander with a single blow.
The sharp tassel merged into his head, making Gui Liangtianxia's thinking extremely fast, but also infinitely amplifying his desires.
Fortunately, he... I don't know if he can be called rational, but at least he can weigh the pros and cons.
The Demon Realm can be dealt with last. The most urgent task is to determine the fate of Tianji, the Unbreakable Protection, and the Buddha Zen Seal technique, as well as to address the Buddha Sword.
After Gui Liang Tianxia merged with the Sharp Senses, he saw more and clearer illusions. He already knew that the Buddha Zen Seal and the Buddha Decree were the nemesis of divine artifacts, and he was going to set a trap to target the Buddha Sword.
However, before that...
