66: Qiankun Bag

In the dead silent valley, a wild roar suddenly echoed.

"Roar, roar… Boss is mighty and dominant!"

The Three-Headed Dog's ill-timed shout startled all the stunned Demon Kings.

Mo Liyun, dripping with cold sweat from his fright, secretly mused, "This human really seems to be from the outside world. It's a good thing I didn't try to act tough, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

He then gloated, looking towards the Black Bear Demon Emperor in the distance.

At this moment, the Black Bear Demon Emperor's chest was a bloody mess, and he leaned against the mountain wall, panting heavily, looking somewhat dispirited.

Lin Mu's sword not only severely injured his body but also shattered his vital essence.

Once the vital essence dissipates, his cultivation will drop to that of an eighth-level demon beast.

The Black Bear Demon Emperor weakly opened his eyes; Lin Mu stood ten feet in front of him, staring coldly.

"A ninth-level Demon Emperor, yet nothing more than this."

Lin Mu took a few more steps forward, pressing his heavenly dao sword against the Black Bear Demon Emperor's throat, and said,

"Now I ask, you answer. Say one more word of nonsense, and you'll face the consequences."

The Black Bear Demon Emperor nodded helplessly, remaining silent.

"The divine stone you snatched from Mo Liyun, where is it now? I don't sense its aura on you."

As soon as the Black Bear Demon Emperor appeared, Lin Mu had already probed him, but there was no heavenly dao stone aura on him.

The Black Bear Demon Emperor paused in surprise and said, "You can actually sense the divine stone's aura? Who exactly are you?"

The heavenly dao sword in Lin Mu's hand suddenly pierced the Black Bear Demon Emperor's skin, warning, "I am asking you now. You only need to answer the questions. Don't ask what you shouldn't know."

The Black Bear Demon Emperor nodded repeatedly in fear: "Yes, yes, yes, I did snatch a divine stone from Mo Liyun."

"But not long after I got it back, I lost it to someone else in a bet."

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow: "You are a Demon Emperor, after all. Who could win a divine stone from you?"

"That's a long story..."

"Cut it short. I don't have time for your nonsense," Lin Mu interrupted the Black Bear Demon Emperor.

"Uh, alright. I lost it to the Old Dragon King of the Endless Sea, Long Yuan."

Lin Mu extended his hand, and Mo Liyun, who was in the distance, was seized by him through the air.

"Is there a Dragon King named Long Yuan in the Endless Sea?" Lin Mu asked Mo Liyun.

"There is indeed a Dragon King in the Endless Sea, a Dragon Emperor who has lived for tens of thousands of years, but I don't know his name."

Mo Liyun spoke of the Dragon Emperor with eyes full of reverence.

"Since he's lived for tens of thousands of years, how do you not know his name?"

Mo Liyun said somewhat awkwardly, "The Dragon Emperor resides in the central region of the Endless Sea, millions of miles from here. I've never seen him; I only know of his existence from ancient records."

"Has he never visited the demon race's territory?" Lin Mu asked faintly.

"Probably not. It's said that the Dragon Palace has countless rare treasures. Why would he come to this godforsaken place?"

Seeing Lin Mu looking at him again, the Black Bear Demon Emperor hastily explained, "Don't listen to this stinky snake's nonsense. His status naturally can't reach the Dragon Emperor's presence."

Lin Mu took out the Nine Nether Map and found the location of the Endless Sea.

However, it didn't mark the location of the Dragon Palace; it only had a large red character "Danger" written at the Endless Sea's position.

Lin Mu rubbed his brow, feeling a bit speechless.

After traveling through several places this time, he still hadn't obtained the heavenly dao stone, which made Lin Mu somewhat irritated.

"How did you lose the divine stone to that Dragon King? Was it because you were no match for him?"

The Black Bear Demon Emperor grinned and said, "Not really. My old bear loves to gamble with people. That day, I lost a bet."

"Speaking of which, I get angry. That Old Dragon King tricked me."

"That day, he challenged me to guess when it would rain and when it would stop."

The Three-Headed Dog, who had just run over, scoffed, "You big bear are truly foolish, betting with a Dragon King on when it will rain. Haha!"

"At the time, I was hot-headed. Only after he left did I realize I'd been tricked."

"I wanted to go back and get the divine stone, but that Old Dragon King ran quite fast, and I couldn't find him."

Lin Mu watched the Black Bear Demon babbling on, then impatiently interrupted him, saying, "Is your summoning of the demons here related to this matter?"

"En, uh, there is indeed a connection," the Black Bear Demon Emperor said awkwardly.

"In recent centuries, foreign races have frequently invaded the demon race, all because the demon race is too disorganized."

"That Old Dragon King comes to my demon race as if he's strolling through his own backyard, appearing and disappearing without a trace."

"Therefore, I had the idea of unifying the demon race."

Although Lin Mu was not a so-called saint, nor did he possess the noble quality of compassion for all living things.

However, as a human, he naturally could not stand by and watch the demon race unite and grow strong.

With a plan in mind, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke, "Since you don't know the whereabouts of that Dragon King, there's no need to keep you alive."

Feeling Lin Mu's killing intent, the Black Bear Demon Emperor hurriedly knelt, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"Immortal, spare my life! I am willing to serve you. I also have a treasure I'm willing to offer you."

Saying this, the Black Bear Demon Emperor conjured a cloth bag out of thin air.

Just as Lin Mu reached out to take the cloth bag, the bag's opening suddenly widened, and a strong suction pulled everyone into the bag.

The Black Bear Demon Emperor immediately stood up, gripping the bag's opening with both hands and tying it securely with a rope.

"Haha. Ignorant child, what if you're strong? You still fell into my qiankun bag (cosmic bag)."

The Black Bear Demon Emperor patted the still wriggling qiankun bag and said mockingly,

"Save your strength. This qiankun bag of mine can contain the sun and moon and melt all things. You all just wait to be melted into blood."

After speaking, he couldn't stop laughing excitedly.

"You seem to be celebrating too early."

A strange yet familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The Black Bear Demon Emperor spun around abruptly. When he clearly saw who was speaking, he was so frightened that he immediately retreated several steps.

Lin Mu looked at the Black Bear Demon Emperor with a playful expression: "Keep laughing. Why aren't you laughing anymore?"

The Black Bear Demon Emperor threatened with a trembling voice, "Don't come any closer. Your people are in my hands. Let me go, and I'll give them to you."

He shook the qiankun bag in his hand.

"I never accept threats. They are just a few subordinates," Lin Mu said emotionlessly.

The Black Bear Demon Emperor was choked by Lin Mu's cold words, momentarily unsure how to respond.

Seeing Lin Mu approaching him step by step, holding a long sword.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He tossed the qiankun bag into the sky and loudly shouted, "Explode."

He planned to use the destructive power generated by the qiankun bag's self-detonation to buy himself time to escape.

But something that shocked him again happened.

As soon as the qiankun bag flew into the air, a phantom image flashed, and it actually landed safely in Lin Mu's hand.

Lin Mu casually opened the qiankun bag and released the Three-Headed Dog and the others.

Then, he aimed the bag's opening at the fleeing Black Bear Demon Emperor and softly commanded, "Collect."

The Black Bear Demon Emperor, who had already fled several hundred meters, was instantly sucked into the bag.
