746: gloat

"No need for formalities."

The colossal entity coiled above the long sky remained as majestic as ever.

"Heavenly Venerable, our Clan's Disciple was ambushed in the Eastern Barrens. If successful, it could provoke a war between our Western Border and the Eastern Barrens."

"The person behind this has ulterior motives."

"Now that we have a clue, this Junior cannot stay long. I must return to the Clan and report this matter to the Old Ancestors."

Clan Elder put away the two arms that had lost their Dao charm, then respectfully spoke to the entity above the long sky again.

"You may go."

Mo Xuan was happy to have peace and quiet and didn't care about the departure of these two envoys from the Kunpeng Clan.

Moreover, with the Kunpeng taking action, he wouldn't have to worry about the matters of Red Fragrance Tower and the Four-Armed Spirit Clan.

That's right.

This feeling of not having anything weighing on his mind was truly comfortable.

It was like a low-level worker throwing all their tasks to others to handle.

"Lord Heavenly Venerable, regarding the previous proposal, I hope you will consider it again."

Clan Elder finished speaking.

Boom!

He transformed, turning into a giant, ten-thousand-foot-long, gray-black, winged fish covered in patterns.

This was a ten-thousand-foot Kunpeng!

The Kunpeng gently flapped its wings, carrying the young figure in the air and the small Kunpeng into the void.

"Kunpeng, truly formidable..."

Zhou Xiutong sighed softly.

The young man beside Clan Elder was also in the Void Refining Realm, similar in cultivation to her.

The two had secretly exchanged several blows, with neither gaining an advantage.

Although it was only a test, neither had used their true strength.

But it was still possible to discern many things.

If Kun Lingzi knew that the two had fought to a draw, he would surely be shocked.

His eldest brother was a truly formidable individual; among those of the same Realm, only the core inheritors of the other four Supreme Bloodlines were qualified to contend with him.

A Genius was merely the threshold to meet his eldest brother.

An existence that could match his eldest brother was extremely rare throughout the entire Western Border Demon Domain.

Even if Kun Lingzi considered himself exceptionally talented, he would not dare to boast in front of his eldest brother.

"Boss, what proposal was it?"

"That Kun Lingzi is quite unreliable. What did Boss say before, it was something like... seeing one spot, you can see the whole spotted spirit leopard."

"Seeing a falling leaf, it's as if you know autumn has arrived."

"That Kunpeng Clan is definitely unreliable too."

"Boss, don't let them trick you."

Heavenly Scorpion, with Demon Venerable Mu Xue, who was bowing her head uneasily beside him, scurried up.

Coming to Zhou Xiutong's side, he looked gravely at the place where the ten-thousand-foot Kunpeng had disappeared.

Although he was secretly filled with envy, as Kunpeng were naturally blessed with unique advantages.

But his face was righteous and stern.

"Boss also said before, 'If the lower beam is not straight, the upper beam will be crooked.'"

"From this, one can see a glimpse."

Heavenly Scorpion spoke words that surprised Demon Venerable Mu Xue beside him.

He was full of vigor and spirit.

But perhaps it was just a misconception, Heavenly Scorpion vaguely seemed to hear a sigh.

"Alas..."

Mo Xuan sighed in his heart.

He truly must have been blind back then.

"Hehe~"

"Uncle Scorpion, wasn't that saying 'to see the whole leopard from one spot, to know deep autumn from one leaf'?"

"And it should be 'if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked.'"

Zhou Xiutong withdrew her gaze and chuckled softly.

Her voice was gentle and pleasant to the ear.

Heavenly Scorpion's body trembled.

"Gah..."

"Yes, yes, yes, it has to be Niece Xiutong."

"Boss said it exactly like that back then, right, Boss?"

Heavenly Scorpion secretly cheered up, seeking confirmation from the majestic Black Giant Serpent.

Another faint sigh seemed to appear in Heavenly Scorpion's ear.

Heavenly Scorpion looked around but found nothing.

"Alas..."

Mo Xuan had a headache. He was a cultured snake, so how did he end up with an illiterate scorpion?

"This is..."

Left with no choice, Mo Xuan changed the subject, knowingly asking, and looked towards Demon Venerable Mu Xue.

"This Junior Bathing Snow, greets Heavenly Venerable!"

Demon Venerable Mu Xue, who had been bowing her head, not daring to speak, trembled in her heart. That gaze merely looked over, and it made her spirit tremble.

She subconsciously responded respectfully.

"Fellow Daoist Bathing Snow."

Zhou Xiutong followed Mo Xuan's gaze and greeted Demon Venerable Mu Xue.

Demon Venerable Mu Xue's mind was tense, and she hastily returned the greeting.

She had never imagined that one day she would see such a legendary existence.

Even a Void Refining Demon Saint was an existence she dared not aspire to.

And now, not only was there a Void Refining, but also a Supreme Heavenly Venerable before her.

Perhaps, even if she were to die now, she would have no regrets.

"Hehe..."

As Demon Venerable Mu Xue answered, Heavenly Scorpion on the side began to fidget.

This fidgeting made Mo Xuan's brow twitch repeatedly.

Headache.

He hadn't expected this eyebrowless, big-eyed Heavenly Scorpion to have such a day.

"A visitor is a guest, treat them well."

Mo Xuan didn't want to stay any longer and instructed Heavenly Scorpion.

Before his words finished, his massive and majestic body had already vanished above the long sky.

"Hoo~"

After Mo Xuan disappeared, Demon Venerable Mu Xue subconsciously let out a breath.

The pressure from the Heavenly Venerable was truly too great; if not for her courage, she would probably have collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Moreover, facing this Heavenly Venerable, there was also a not-so-obvious, yet somewhat peculiar and uncomfortable feeling.

She didn't know what this feeling was.

Heavenly Scorpion didn't know either, and even Zhou Xiutong didn't know.

Perhaps only those Clan members with Dao Companions would know.

This was clearly the feeling one gets when meeting their father-in-law or parents-in-law.

"Boss just left..."

"Old Scorpion still had so much to say..."

Heavenly Scorpion scratched his head, feeling a bit regretful.

Beside him, Demon Venerable Mu Xue, listening to Heavenly Scorpion's soliloquy, trembled in her heart.

She subconsciously swung her pincer and tapped Heavenly Scorpion's forehead.

But after hitting him, Demon Venerable Mu Xue regretted it.

She had hit him out of habit, completely forgetting that Zhou Xiutong was still present.

Heavenly Scorpion was bewildered. Where had he made a mistake this time?

However, fortunately, he had prior experience; even if he felt he hadn't made a mistake, he was still wrong.

Zhou Xiutong found it amusing.

"Uncle Scorpion, Fellow Daoist Bathing Snow, I will return this blood puppet to the Clan and take my leave first."

After Zhou Xiutong spoke, she stepped out with the blood puppet remaining in the air, disappearing from the two demons' sight.

"Tell me, why did you deceive me?"

After Zhou Xiutong left, Demon Venerable Mu Xue completely relaxed.

Her large pincer twisted at Heavenly Scorpion's waist, making him grimace in pain.

"Hiss~"

"How did I deceive you?"

Heavenly Scorpion felt wronged; he hadn't said a single lie.

He really did have a Heavenly Venerable Boss.

"Who told you not to believe me?"

Heavenly Scorpion shouted.

Demon Venerable Mu Xue's heart paused, and her movements stiffened.

The pain in his waist disappeared, and Heavenly Scorpion sighed in relief.

But a moment later, a stronger pain came.

"Your not deceiving me is also a way of deceiving me."

Demon Venerable Mu Xue twisted once, released her pincer, and mumbled, her voice getting softer and softer.

"There's such a saying?"

Heavenly Scorpion was completely lost.

Lost in Bathing Snow's thoughts.

"Hehe~ A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Heavenly Scorpion, oh Heavenly Scorpion, you are seeking your own death. I can't save you either; you'll have a lot to suffer in the future."

At the bottom of the Gui Zhou Island sea, within the solemn Profound Palace, a coiled Black Giant Serpent gloated.
