As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1736: 453: The 12 Demon Gods’ Recruitment Plan, Lord Dog Long Time No See in Qi Tian City [Monthly Ticket Requested]
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Whoosh—
A ferocious burst of demon energy swirled wildly, blending with savage intensity, as the horrifying aura from the Black Bull Demon God Venerable seeped out, apparently twisting the space nearby.
This occasion marked the emergence of his actual body. Detecting an oddity, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable opted to hurry there in person, driven by the instinctive dread from his demon soul.
He placed faith in such instincts. Yet, reaching the yard housing the Bull Demon and encountering the Night Bat Demon God, his inner turmoil dissolved at once.
Enveloped in roiling demon energy, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable displayed just a dark bull's head, eyes glowing crimson, brows knit as he regarded the Night Bat Demon God in front.
“Night Bat, did something happen?”
“Did that Bull Demon attack you?”
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable found himself compelled to inquire.
Still, the Night Bat Demon God stayed highly deferential, cupping hands and inclining the head: “I have been monitoring the Netherworld Ox Demon’s situation at all times and have not detected any abnormalities.”
At these words, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable’s doubts gradually dissipated. He cast a look at the Night Bat, noting the other's intact state free of grave wounds, and let the matter drop.
The Night Bat ranked among his most reliable subordinates. With the Qitian Temple’s legacy on the verge of unveiling, the Night Bat’s role in scouting and collecting treasures proved vitally crucial.
Influence from the Strange Temple God Divinity had sparked the rise of various demon clans in the human realm. To date, even nations such as Great Vista and Da Li Royal Court had seen the birth of many demons.
Beyond these realms, the demon kin replicated the Strange Que’s Deceit Demon Cave by forming the Ten Thousand Rivers, amassing vast numbers of demons. As their ranks swelled, so did their craving for vital resources.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable offered the Night Bat some encouragement.
As if perceiving a hint, the Night Bat bid farewell and dissolved back into nothingness, slipping away through a faint slit no thicker than a strand of hair.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable swung his gaze toward the imposing Bull Demon in the yard, whose chill stare fixed upon him.
A dark bull and an adorable bovine faced off, appearing to lock eyes through the void.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable gave a faint smile — though he embodied the authentic bull.
Whereas the Bull Demon… merely donned a deceptive guise.
Rumble—
Dark winds billowed, demon energy churned, prompting the Black Bull Demon God Venerable to withdraw promptly, heading back to the City Lord’s Mansion. There, he settled into position, extending his perception across the three gates, pinpointing every human powerhouse entering the city.
With the trials ongoing, an increasing tide of mighty figures flooded into the city.
The guardians at the three entrances, all at the One Disaster One Tribulation Realm, paled against numerous human experts arriving at the One Disaster Two Tribulations Realm.
Furthermore, the earlier demise of the Heavenly Crane Demon God had instilled caution among many demon gods, who shied from desperate clashes, dreading a fate akin to the Heavenly Crane Demon God’s demise, which seemed imprudent.
After all, the Qitian Temple God’s resonance loomed near, and as demons, they held a natural edge in syncing with the Qitian Demon Saint’s Temple God resonance.
Engaging human cultivators in combat might lead to wounds, which was tolerable, but perishing and forfeiting the Qitian Temple God resonance could dash hopes of further progress, marking true folly.
The resonance from a Three Pure Bizarre Temple’s temple god promised immense gains!
Should one fully claim the Qitian Temple God’s resonance inheritance, future entry into the Deceit Demon Cave and ascension to the All Gods Camp might await!
In the outer city’s courtyard of Qitian City.
Li Che, masked as the Bull Demon, observed the Big Black Bull’s departure, exhaling deeply in relief.
Nevertheless, the veiled killing intent in his gaze stood boldly revealed.
Ever since this Big Black Bull schemed against Xi Xi, aiming to seize her for dispatch to the Strange Que’s Deceit Demon Cave, Li Che had forged an unyielding resolve to slay this Big Black Bull.
Indeed, this foe was a Black Bull Demon God Venerable at the Two Disasters Realm.
The heavenly tribulation of the Two Disasters Realm earns the title Venerable. What defines a Venerable? In the path of cultivation, reverence and honor bestow that status.
How could Li Che stay composed with such a formidable entity targeting his own daughter?
Besides, this Big Black Bull stood not alone but as a proxy for the myriad demons of the Ten Thousand Rivers and the Deceit Demon Cave, a powerhouse within the All Gods Camp!
Li Che’s eyes lowered. Xi Xi’s ties to the Prison Lotus Camp were unavoidable.
From the moment Xi Xi embraced the Third Prince Temple God’s resonance legacy, her bond with the Prison Lotus Camp had been sealed.
She had even risen as the Daughter of Prison Lotus…
Li Che remained unaware of the Daughter of Prison Lotus’s importance, her rank, or its implications inside the Prison Lotus Camp…
Yet, given the Deceit Demon Cave’s high regard for her, the Daughter of Prison Lotus undoubtedly held a remarkable position in the Prison Lotus Camp!
“Fortunately… Xi Xi remains in the human world, beyond the All Gods Camp’s reach for now.”
Li Che adjusted the Bull Demon mask against his face.
The human world’s Heaven and Earth Will imposed restrictions, a shield that protected human cultivators and Xi Xi alike.
Buzz—
A mental pivot later, he slipped once more into Mo City Fengdu.
Within Fengdu.
A massive bat carcass sprawled across the uneven terrain of Mo City, battered by relentless ink-black rain that rinsed its form, while twisted, ebony blood seeped out.
This hue wasn’t its blood’s natural shade; poison had altered it.
A toxin fierce enough to fell even a Demon God at the One Disaster Two Tribulations Realm.
Near this enormous bat corpse, a lithe silhouette lingered, draped in a dark cloak like a scholar, drawing out essence blood and poison from the fallen bat’s remains.
