Chaos Spirit Field

The strange fragrance of the Heavenly Demon Grass was an irresistible lure to the demonic beasts, like a cat at fish or a dog at bones, instantly igniting their deepest desires. This alluring scent spread rapidly, causing a considerable commotion. Numerous demonic beasts were eager to attack. Had the Heavenly Demon Grass's scent not quickly vanished without a trace, a terrifying wave of beasts would have swept over.

At this moment, Master Gui was sitting steadily on Xiao Hei's back. Suddenly, he keenly smelled the faint scent of the lingering Heavenly Demon Grass in the air. He immediately became excited and shouted loudly, "Idiot! Head northeast and take a look!"

Xiao Hei was feeling incredibly frustrated. He had thought he'd gotten rid of this annoying old man, but he'd only been teasing him. Now he had to act as his mount, being ridden by a turtle. It was truly humiliating!

At that moment, Zhao Shanhe noticed Xiao Hei descending from the sky, and the Turtle Master on its back. However, he felt no joy at all, but instead a heavy heart. He could tell at a glance that the old man riding Xiao Hei was no ordinary being, his cultivation unfathomable, even comparable to his adoptive father. So, he respectfully stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Junior Zhao Shanhe greets you, Senior! The demon beast you ride is my spiritual pet. If it has caused you any damage, I am willing to double the compensation. Please, for the sake of my father, Li Changsheng, the Second Elder of the Dan League, please spare it."

At this moment, the Piyao standing nearby suddenly said, "Piyao, hello to the Black Tortoise Demon King!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanhe's eyes widened in shock. He had never imagined that the old man before him was actually from the demon clan. He secretly groaned, thinking that he had really gotten into big trouble this time. Recalling Qian Duoduo's words, he realized that the Merchant Alliance still had some respect among the demon clan. He hurriedly pulled out a token from his pocket, engraved with the three characters "Xianbao Pavilion". He gripped the token tightly and said to Master Gui with trepidation, "Senior, this is the guest token of the Xianbao Pavilion. I'm sure you recognize it. To be honest, Qian Dafu of the Xianbao Pavilion is my father-in-law. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Zhao Shanhe wanted to slip away, but suddenly he felt that he could not move, and the title of Qian Dafu was no longer effective.

Master Gui ignored Zhao Shanhe, frowning slightly. He asked with some displeasure, "Piyao, why did you also sign a soul contract with this boy? Don't you know the consequences of doing so?"

The Piyao lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Xuanwu Demon Emperor, I was abandoned by my family and exiled to this barren land. I am impressed by the master's strength, and I am willing to accept this."

Zhao Shanhe watched the so-called Black Tortoise Demon King approach, his heart pounding with panic. He couldn't move or speak. He should have gone to the Endless Sea earlier. If he'd been hunted by a Nascent Soul cultivator, he might have had a chance to escape. But facing a Spiritualization Demon King, he'd be like meat on a chopping block, at the mercy of the enemy. Worst of all, this old man was groping him. Could he be another demonic beast with a particular fetish? He truly regretted his decision. "Mingyue, Tianshuang, your husband is no longer clean."

Master Gui said indifferently, "Boy, I have no interest in men. When did Qian Dafu accept a son-in-law like you?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shanhe felt the restraints on his body suddenly disappear. He hurriedly explained, "Senior, please calm down. I recently married Qian Dafu's third daughter, so it's normal that you didn't know. As for that tripod, it was a token of love given to me by Miss Qian Duoduo. Please do not open that storage bag!"

Master Gui threw the storage bag aside with disgust on his face, cursing, "You stinky boy, you actually collect feces. Do you have any special hobbies?"

Zhao Shanhe quickly explained, "Senior, you've misunderstood. This excrement is used to cultivate spiritual fields. As the saying goes, if you want spiritual herbs to grow well, organic fertilizer is essential. Given your status and position, you naturally look down on this little thing of mine."

Without a word, Master Gui emptied the contents of his storage bag onto the ground and put them into his storage equipment. He said, "You're quite wealthy, kid. With your shameless demeanor, you look more like the son of a wealthy man. Li Changsheng's last name is Li, so why is yours Zhao?"

Zhao Shanhe's heart tightened, and he asked cautiously, "Excuse me, Senior, do you have any grudge against Li Changsheng?"

Master Gui's eyes were as calm as water, and he responded calmly, "There is no hatred."

Zhao Shanhe finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "To be honest, Li Changsheng is actually my adopted father. Bullying the younger generation is unbecoming of a master and will be ridiculed by the world. If this loophole is opened, all the Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators will come to bully the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and the world will be in chaos."

"You have a point. For Qian Dafu's sake, I will spare your life. You may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life. Enslaving the demon race is truly treasonous."

Zhao Shanhe argued forcefully, "Senior, I find it difficult to agree with your statement. I have never considered the demon race as slaves. Xiao Hei and Pi Yao signed soul contracts with me. They followed me willingly because of my personal charm. Moreover, many major sects have guardian beasts. Does this constitute treason?"

"You little brat, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't change the fact that you've violated the rule of Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain that prohibits bringing spirit pets into the mountain. Come with me to Monster King City first and wait for Qian Dafu to come and redeem you."

Hearing this, Zhao Shanhe was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. He had only almost become Qian Dafu's son-in-law, not his real son-in-law. This trip was truly uncertain, and he could only take things one step at a time. He couldn't help but resent Xiao Hei for looking for trouble. He had come with a powerful attack, provoking a Spiritual Transformation Stage Demon King. How foolish! He would definitely roast him later.

If Xiao Hei heard Zhao Shanhe's thoughts, he probably would not have the heart to show his courtesy. After arriving here, he was deeply attracted by the peerless appearance of Pijiao. He suddenly changed from a ferocious Qiongqi into a pug, circling around Pijiao and constantly flattering it.

The Piyao ignored it, thinking that a weak chicken that had not yet reached the Dan stage was not worthy of the noble Piyao and was not as charming as its master.

When Zhao Shanhe heard Pi'er's thoughts, he broke out in a cold sweat. He was not as awesome as Xu Xian, who could have a love affair that transcended racial taboos.
