241: Golden Crow Iron Square

"What treasure?"

Before Chen Heng could react, Bai Jun, his eyes shining, leaned over.

This kid's reaction to hearing about a treasure was even greater than Chen Heng's; he practically had 'I want it' written on his face.

"Ahem, this is the treasure that has been passed down through generations of our Golden Crow Royal Family."

The Demon Emperor lightly coughed and pulled out a fist-sized cube from his embrace.

"This treasure is called the golden crow iron square. It contains the demonic power our Golden Crow Royal Family has accumulated from ancient times until now."

"When each Golden Crow falls, all of their power is absorbed into this golden crow iron square."

"I actually don't know how much immense energy is accumulated in it, because I can't use it."

The Demon Emperor's face showed some embarrassment; after all, it was quite shameful that he couldn't use his own family heirloom.

Chen Heng showed no hint of politeness, directly snatching the golden crow iron square from the Demon Emperor's hand.

But no matter how he looked at it, up, down, left, or right, this thing seemed to be nothing more than a solid, large iron lump.

However, its feel was vastly different from steel, seemingly some kind of special alloy Materials.

"Mr. Chen, don't squeeze it randomly! Once you accidentally touch it..."

But before the Demon Emperor could finish his sentence, the seemingly solid golden crow iron square cracked open.

...Chen Heng, the Demon Emperor.

Immediately after, a dazzling golden light burst forth from within the golden crow iron square.

Terrifying heat waves spewed out from that tiny opening, directly igniting the surrounding air.

Even the eyebrows on Chen Heng's face and the hair on his forehead were not spared, directly burned to ashes.

Bai Jun, nearby, was no better off; his entire face had not a single hair left.

"Good heavens!" Chen Heng quickly closed the golden crow iron square again.

Yes, he closed it purely by brute force.

This golden crow iron square was indeed incredible; the temperature of its core was even higher than when he activated his Hanba Bloodline.

This thing felt to Chen Heng like a small sun confined within a container... wait a minute!

Aren't Golden Crows the sun?

Could it be that there's really a small sun confined inside?

"Mr. Chen's strength is truly remarkable, huh." The Demon Emperor chuckled awkwardly; it was the first time he had seen someone able to close the golden crow iron square by brute force.

One must know that once the golden crow iron square is activated, it must be closed using the appropriate method.

Closing it purely by brute force... it's hard to imagine.

"The item is good, I'll keep it." Chen Heng nodded, tucking the golden crow iron square into his snake skin pouch.

"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now. We'll come visit you when we have time later."

Chen Heng waved his hand, intending to leave, but was immediately called back by the Demon Emperor.

"Mr. Chen, if you don't mind, please take Luo Shuo with you."

The Demon Emperor pushed Luo Shuo forward.

"This child grew up in the Divine Demon Domain and has never seen the outside world."

"Moreover, this child is not weak, possessing the strength of a Demon Saint, and can help with odd jobs while accompanying you."

"Demon Saint?" Chen Heng scrutinized the grinning Luo Shuo before him; he truly hadn't expected Luo Shuo to be a Demon Saint.

"Big Brother Chen, I have both Black Phoenix and Golden Crow Bloodlines, possessing the Bloodline talents and secret techniques of both races. I definitely won't hold you back!"

Luo Shuo's left fingertip ignited with black flames, while his right hand held crimson-gold flames.

"Yes, yes, yes, I can also undergo Rebirth from fire, so even if I die, it's not a big problem."

Seeing Chen Heng's expression unchanged, Luo Shuo quickly began to vigorously promote himself.

"Can you fly?" Chen Heng rubbed his chin; he was a little tempted.

Not being able to fly had always been a pain in Chen Heng's heart; even the Dragon mount he acquired was a crawling snake that couldn't fly.

"Yes!" Luo Shuo nodded vigorously, immediately revealing his true form and transforming back into his original appearance.

"Big Brother Chen, look, I can Incarnation as a Black Phoenix and also Incarnation as a Golden Crow. If you like, I can even be a mix of both!"

A Black Phoenix, occupying more than half of the camp, appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Good heavens, that's impressive." Chen Heng stroked the feathers on Luo Shuo's body with great satisfaction.

"Are you really comfortable entrusting him to me?" Chen Heng turned to look at the Demon Emperor.

To be honest, he really liked this kid, Luo Shuo.

After all, he could fly, was a Divine Beast, and could transform into three forms.

Where could one find such an excellent mount?

"Of course, I'm comfortable. It's good for this child to go out and gain experience with Mr. Chen."

"Our Golden Crow and Black Phoenix races have long lifespans; without accidental demise, they can live for tens of thousands of years."

"Even wandering the world with you for a hundred years is but a flick of a finger."

"Alright, then you'll follow me from today onwards." Chen Heng nodded, gently patting Luo Shuo's outstretched bird head.

"What about me, Master!" Snake Green couldn't bear to listen anymore; her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Chen Heng, who had found a new favorite.

"You and the siblings Zhu Ri and Zhu Chang will go and guard the house together." Chen Heng thought about it and felt that Snake Green's strength was still too weak, making it easy for things to go wrong if she stayed by his side.

"Once your strength reaches that of a Demon Saint, you'll be qualified to stay by my side."

..."I understand, Master." Snake Green bit her lower lip, nodded, and said nothing more.

"Nothing else, right? Let's go."

Seeing the Demon Emperor nod with satisfaction, Chen Heng jumped onto Luo Shuo's back.

Bai Jun followed closely, jumping up after Chen Heng.

"Are all the parts from the evil Dragon installed?" Chen Heng asked, glancing at the brand-new Dragon skin pouch on Bai Jun's waist.

"They're all installed neatly, not a single piece left." Bai Jun opened the Dragon skin pouch to show Chen Heng.

"Let's go." Chen Heng waved at the Demon Emperor, then Luo Shuo flapped his wings and took off.

"Mr. Chen, our Eastern Demon Alliance always welcomes you as a guest!" The Demon Emperor actually had many words of gratitude he hadn't spoken.

Due to his status as Demon Emperor, there were some things he couldn't say aloud.

But Chen Heng's great kindness to the entire Eastern Demon Alliance he would never forget.

"Record Mr. Chen and Young Master Bai in the annals of the Eastern Demon Alliance."

After Chen Heng, Bai Jun, and Luo Shuo disappeared into the night sky, the Demon Emperor regained his original dignified appearance.

"All of you, remember the auras of Mr. Chen and Young Master Bai. As soon as these two enter the territory of the Eastern Demon Alliance, report it immediately."

"The leader of any city must personally go to welcome them, with no excuses for refusal."

"Understood?"

In the night sky, Chen Heng experienced for the first time the feeling of flying in an airplane without its shell.

There was no gentle breeze at all; the fierce wind slammed into Chen Heng's face like a heavy hammer.

"Big Brother Chen, wait a moment, I'll use a Wind-Sheltering Talisman to create a windless area."

Bai Jun, braving the strong wind, moved towards Chen Heng, pulling out a Talisman from his Dragon skin pouch.

The moment the Talisman was activated, the surrounding strong wind immediately vanished, and Chen Heng's floating hair fell back onto his shoulders.

"Luo Shuo, let's go to Heavenly Demon City first. I'm going to deliver something to that little fox, Hu Ling."
