Chapter 1321 -1320: Demon Tiande, The Battle Begins
“Brother Xu…,” Wang Li hesitated for a moment upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, but eventually retreated.
“Are you Hong Jun?” Xu Zimei glanced at him and asked with interest.
“Who are you? Are you from the Seventy-Two Mountains or the Thirty-Six Caves?” Hong Jun asked, frowning.
He found it peculiar that Xu Zimei didn’t seem afraid upon seeing such a formation.
In his anticipation, the other party should be terribly frightened.
Thus, he became suspicious of Xu Zimei’s identity, but he knew all those who were stronger than him.
“My identity doesn’t matter,” Xu Zimei shook his head and said.
“I’m just asking you, how do you plan to handle this matter?” freёwebnoѵel.com
“Handle it how?” Before Hong Jun could speak, Hong Ze sneered grimly from the side.
“According to the rules of our Demon Race, harming a fellow clansman is punishable by death.”
“I wasn’t asking you,” Xu Zimei dismissed Hong Ze, focusing his gaze entirely on Hong Jun, who was Hong Ze’s father.
At this moment, Hong Jun was somewhat indecisive.
The key was that Xu Zimei’s behavior was too bizarre.
“Do you know the Mountain Master here?” Hong Jun wasn’t in a hurry.
After all, the person couldn’t escape; he felt it was better to clarify.
“I don’t know him, but I’ve heard your name,” Xu Zimei said.
“How to deal with you naturally falls to the Demon Ritual Hall; you don’t need to ask me,” Hong Jun remarked.
Just as the two were debating, whispers could be heard nearby.
“Lord Demon Tiande is here.”
The crowd watching the spectacle naturally parted ways, and an elderly man walked in.
In fact, this Demon Tiande was merely over two hundred years old.
For mortals, he would be considered an ancient elder, but for practitioners, he was merely part of the younger generation.
Many practitioners maintain their appearance, keeping as youthful as possible.
But this Demon Tiande made himself appear older because he supervised rituals and needed authority.
This appearance was a form of authority.
“What are you all doing?” Demon Tiande lightly rebuked.
The sound was like thunder, causing ears to tremble.
“Each of you should be practicing, not crowding here to watch the spectacle.”
“Brother Tiande,” Hong Jun stepped forward, smiling in greeting.
“What does Mountain Master Hong mean?” Demon Tiande ignored his pleasantries, instead turning his gaze to the nearly thousands of Demon Race members from Sun Mountain behind him, frowning as he asked.
“Brother Tiande misunderstood; I brought the people from Sun Mountain to take a stroll,” Hong Jun smiled.
“And incidentally inquire about a matter.”
“What matter?” Demon Tiande asked.
Brother Tiande also knows that my son went to the Demonic Path this time. Although it’s not extremely dangerous,
there’s always a chance, so I gave him my Demon Martial as protection,” Hong Jun smiled.
“But now I’ve heard someone attacked him in the Demonic Path and stole the Demon Martial.
What do you think should be done, Brother Tiande?”
“You speak falsely,” Wang Li retorted immediately upon hearing this, his face flushing with anger.
“Clearly, that Hong Ze wanted to use Demon Martial to kill us.”
“It’s fine,” Xu Zimei patted Wang Li’s shoulder, stepping forward steadily.
He waved his right hand, Demonic Qi coalescing in his palm.
The Blackflame Kylin was released.
A formidable aura swept with black flames, continuously surging around.
Seeing Hong Jun and others, it became excited, wanting to rush forward.
But Xu Zimei directly stomped it to the ground, rendering it immobile.
“Return the Demon Martial to me,” Hong Jun’s expression changed, he said angrily.
“I’m only going to say this once, so listen carefully,” Xu Zimei said calmly.
“Hong Ze instigated the conflict first, trying to kill us with this Demon Martial.
But he was no match for me, so I seized the Demon Martial and, out of kindness, spared him.”
With that, Xu Zimei smiled, looking at Demon Tiande and asking, “How will you handle this?”
“You’re lying,” Hong Ze felt somewhat guilty but defended himself.
“No one knows the affairs of the Demonic Path, what you say doesn’t count as evidence.”
But Xu Zimei didn’t bother with him, simply keeping his gaze on Demon Tiande.
“Let’s end this matter here,” Demon Tiande pondered briefly and looked deeply at Xu Zimei.
He then said, “Since no one knows the affairs of the Demonic Path and there were no casualties, let’s waive it.”
Hong Jun furrowed his brows slightly, as he had expected Demon Tiande to be unsympathetic.
He was always stern and disciplined.
“How can we let him off so easily,” Hong Ze protested discontentedly.
But Hong Jun said, “It’s okay to let it go, but you must return the Demon Martial to me.”
His thought was to let it pass temporarily and later investigate Xu Zimei’s identity.
If it was someone he couldn’t afford to offend, he’d simply leave it be.
But if this was just some ordinary kid, then he’d definitely settle the matter properly.
“The Demon Martial cannot be returned to you,” Xu Zimei shook his head and said.
“I spared his life; keeping this Demon Martial isn’t excessive.”
“It’s just a Demon Martial; with your Sun Mountain’s power, you could cultivate a new one,” suggested Demon Tiande.
“Brother Tiande, I respect the position of your Demon Ritual Hall, but if you aren’t fair, today’s matter will escalate to the Clan Leader, and don’t blame me for not giving face,” Hong Jun said, his expression grim.
His face had been rebutted multiple times, and he was also somewhat annoyed.
As the Master of Sun Mountain, even when the Clan Leader saw him, he’d always give some face.
“I have said all I needed to say; since it’s like this, it’s up to you now,” unexpectedly, Demon Tiande declared he wouldn’t intervene.
“Boy, regardless of your background, today you must return the Demon Martial to me,” Hong Jun shouted fiercely.
He directly lunged at Xu Zimei, intending to suppress him.
“If you want it so much, then have it,” Xu Zimei smiled.
Looking at the Blackflame Kylin below, he gave it a direct kick.
The Blackflame Kylin soared through the air like a missile.
Seeing this, Hong Jun’s expression changed slightly, wanting to catch the Blackflame Kylin, after all, it was his Demon Martial, he couldn’t bear to harm it.
But when he caught the Blackflame Kylin, the strong momentum directly knocked him flying.
“Mountain Master,” the demons from Sun Mountain beside him saw this and were all infuriated.
However, Hong Jun quickly stood up, blocking the furious demons rushing over.
“Boy, you do have some skill, no wonder you’re so arrogant.”
Though his voice was calm, it was powerful, evidently quite angry.
The Demonic Qi around him was growing stronger.
A crackling sound like firecrackers kept ringing overhead.
Someone glanced up, feeling that the firmament with the demonic clouds was becoming increasingly dark.
“I must teach you a lesson today,” Hong Jun said.
He was originally the Mountain Master, attacking a junior could make him infamous, but now he had a legitimate reason.
A cry from the Demon Golden Crow resounded in the sky, as the enormous Demon Golden Crow spread its wings behind Hong Jun.
