58: Lion's Demand

Furthermore, Yang Mei was also the Chaos Demon God of Space, ranked third during the Chaos Period.

Inviting Yang Mei was equivalent to inviting a stabilizing ballast stone.

Hongjun could only agree to Yang Mei's conditions.

What Hongjun did not know was that Yang Mei had already attained the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable.

As soon as the Dao-Demon Conflict ended, he could immediately demand that Hongjun fulfill his promise.

While Hongjun was plotting against Yang Mei, Yang Mei was likewise plotting against Hongjun.

The Ancestor of Reincarnation had actually humiliated him so, and he was even at the very top of the Heavenly Dao's Kill List.

Thus, Hongjun was all the more determined to invite the Ancestor of Reincarnation to participate in the Dao-Demon Conflict.

As long as the Ancestor of Reincarnation participated in the Dao-Demon Conflict, Hongjun would ensure that Reincarnation would surely die.

If Reincarnation did not die, it would be unworthy of the humiliation Hongjun suffered today.

He wanted to see what kind of extraordinary conditions Reincarnation could possibly demand.

"I wonder, Fellow Daoist Reincarnation, what will it take for you to help me fight Luo Hou together?

As long as the conditions are not too ridiculous, I shall naturally agree."

Hongjun forced a smile, doing his best to control his expression.

This made the Revered Master and disciple pair, Reincarnation and Xuan Qing, unable to resist laughing.

Indeed, this feeling of 'you hate me, yet you need me and cannot kill me' was truly refreshing.

"Laugh, go ahead and laugh, soon you won't be able to laugh anymore.

I want you to pay the price of your lives for today's behavior.

Especially Xuan Qing, this mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal ant, who actually dares to mock me.

Once Reincarnation is slain, there will be no Reincarnation to back you up.

I will light you like a sky lantern and extract your Primordial Spirit to be scraped by the Nine Nether Astral Winds for a hundred thousand long periods of time.

I will also ensure you can never undergo tribulation and Reincarnation!"

Hongjun imagined with extreme malice how he would deal with this Revered Master and disciple pair.

The two naturally knew some of Hongjun's thoughts at this moment, certain that he was brewing some poisonous scheme.

But the Ancestor of Reincarnation had already attained the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable; with strength, one could truly do as they pleased.

Since Hongjun wanted to plot their deaths, he naturally wouldn't be polite to Hongjun.

He would not only humiliate Hongjun but also make him pay a heavy price.

"Oh? Since Fellow Daoist Hongjun has said so, then I shall state my requirements.

Since I am helping Fellow Daoist in the Dao-Demon Conflict, if we win, you can soar to the sky, attain the Dao as a Heavenly Dao Sage, and join the Heavenly Dao.

Then this is your battle for attaining the Dao.

Since it is your private dispute and concerns your attainment of the Dao,

I will give you a discount for the sake of our many years of friendship.

You must have many good things on you; I'll just take eight or ten Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

If you have any innate supreme treasures, you can also give me one or two; I won't mind having more."

The Ancestor of Reincarnation directly asked for eight or ten Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and even innate supreme treasures.

This was an even greater 'lion's opening' than when Taiqing made a wish to Father God Pangu.

"Pfft!"

Xuan Qing spat out the spirit tea he had just taken a sip of.

Even Xuan Qing was stunned by his own Revered Master's exorbitant demand.

Good heavens, I didn't see it coming; Revered Master actually has such a black-bellied side.

He was treating Hongjun like a mark in a grudge book.

After hearing the conditions Reincarnation set, Hongjun also spat out his spirit tea just like Xuan Qing.

"What's this? Is Fellow Daoist Hongjun dissatisfied with my spirit tea?

If you're dissatisfied, there's nothing I can do; I only have spirit tea of this Rank.

If Fellow Daoist is willing to pay out of your own pocket, that is also an option,"

the Ancestor of Reincarnation continued, directly giving Hongjun no Face at all.

Since he had already offended Hongjun, why bother giving him Face?

Besides, since the other party already wanted the lives of both Revered Master and disciple, why should Reincarnation show any respect?

"I must endure! I must endure! To completely kill off you two bastards, I will endure!"

Hongjun gnashed his teeth in his heart.

If he weren't in the Reincarnation Daoist Arena and didn't need Reincarnation to block disasters for him in the Dao-Demon Conflict,

Hongjun would truly want to immediately act and slay this pair of Revered Master and disciple, Reincarnation and Xuan Qing.

They were simply bullying him too much; the feeling Reincarnation gave Hongjun was the humiliation of someone dancing on his grave.

"Fellow Daoist Reincarnation, I'm afraid I cannot satisfy this request. My Innate Spirit Treasures were not simply blown in by the wind.

They were obtained through my hard work traveling the Great Desolation in search of Opportunity.

Eight or ten? I simply cannot satisfy that.

In that case, I might as well leave first; it would be better to invite other Fellow Daoists."

Hongjun immediately stood up and looked at the Ancestor of Reincarnation in anger, making a move as if to leave.

"Leaving? Then I won't see you out. It's not like I'm begging to participate in some bullshit Dao-Demon Conflict.

Go, go, it's more peaceful once you're gone. Isn't it better for me to comfortably Cultivate and attain the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable?

I won't even have to worry about losing my life in some bullshit Dao-Demon Conflict.

Wouldn't you say so, my dear disciple?"

Reincarnation spoke casually while picking his nose.

"Exactly, exactly. Revered Master shouldn't get involved in this; you should attain the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable sooner.

With the strength of the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable, who in this Great Desolation would dare say a word against you?

With such strength, though the Great Desolation is vast, where could you not go?

Revered Master, once you attain the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable, I will also benefit by association.

Then, I would be a Celestial Venerable's disciple; who in this Great Desolation would dare touch me?

Even those Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal would have to think twice before moving against me."

Xuan Qing spoke, glancing sideways at Hongjun, coordinating with his Revered Master.

Hearing this, Hongjun would surely sit back down and plead once more.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Hongjun's figure paused—or rather, he never intended to leave in the first place.

He only wanted to see the reaction of the Revered Master and disciple pair, Reincarnation and Xuan Qing.

The result was that Hongjun's Face was once again slapped loudly by them.

"Damn it, these two have me cornered because they know I have no other choice.

I must make this fellow Reincarnation participate in the Dao-Demon Conflict.

Otherwise, once he attains the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable, even the Heavenly Dao won't be able to plot against him so easily.

And that little bastard Xuan Qing—once Reincarnation attains the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable,

this brat will be a Celestial Venerable's disciple. Before I attain the Dao as a Heavenly Dao Sage, I would have to think twice before touching him."

Hongjun stood in place, his eyes darting around; he couldn't leave, yet staying was awkward. He was truly in a difficult position.

"Eh? Fellow Daoist Hongjun, why haven't you left yet? I thought you had already gone.

My apologies, my apologies, I didn't notice, and I let Fellow Daoist hear the conversation I just had with my beloved disciple.

I'm truly sorry; my disciple and I didn't do it on purpose."

The Ancestor of Reincarnation acted surprised; this point-blank ultimate move of mockery was cranked to the maximum.

"Senior Hongjun, I am truly sorry. This Junior did not know you hadn't left yet, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to discuss matters concerning you."

Xuan Qing also cooperated perfectly, bowing to Hongjun and apologizing with fake fear and trepidation.
