I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 181: We Can't Delay Any Longer

The Demon King sighed.

Indeed, they didn't take the Sunflame Dynasty, a power that didn't even have a Mahayana cultivator, seriously, let alone some unheard-of city within its territory.

But now, I have to pay attention to it.

The Demon King raised his finger, a faint white light emanating from its tip, then flicked it, sending it flying towards the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord.

The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord reached out and caught the white light, then gently crushed it, and a memory immediately flooded into his mind.

After a while, he came to his senses.

"Your Majesty, I cannot see through that human."

The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord was honest. His words made the Myriad Demon Emperor raise an eyebrow and say with a half-smile, "Of course, even I can't."

"Then he must possess a treasure to conceal his aura... Does Your Majesty believe this human's true cultivation level is at the Mahayana stage?"

Yun Falcon Demon Lord may seem like a silly goose, but his thoughts are often quick.

Moreover, there is a striking overlap with the Demon King.

"What you think is similar to what I think."

"If that's the case, then Su Jinxi's willingness to become his pet must mean she's been deceived... After all, with such a treasure, he could probably disguise himself as a Saint-level being, and Su Jinxi, who's only at the tenth level of Tribulation Transcending, might have fallen right into his trap."

The Demon King remained silent, waiting for the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord to finish his analysis.

"Then I understand Your Majesty's meaning."

The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord nodded: "That human, I cannot defeat him on my own. Since that's the case, it's better to expose his disguise and then let Su Jinxi see the error of her ways." Although he didn't know why Su Jinxi would be willing to be a pet.

But since the Demon Emperor ordered her to return, she knew what the wise thing to do was to act accordingly. As for that human... the Demon Realm was far too large for a mere individual to challenge.

In this demon realm, there are still some ancient monsters who have lived even longer and cannot stand to see demons being treated as human pets.

If he doesn't know what's good for him, then he'll suffer the consequences.

The Demon King gazed intently at the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord: "You know what to do."

"I see."

The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord nodded, transformed into a streak of light, and vanished in an instant.

……

Nianling Sect, Council Hall.

"This is the report on the disciples' training trips this month, and there are a few promising talents who deserve further training."

Sect Master Zhu Ling placed a list in front of Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling picked it up, glanced at it, and nodded.

"Very good, don't be stingy with the rewards. My Nianling Sect is not lacking in these things right now."

"Yes."

Zhu Ling nodded.

Xiao Ling sat in the chair, gazing at the scenery outside the window, and his mood improved considerably.

Nearly three months later.

The Nianling Sect, after a period of anxious anticipation, has begun to feel a little more at ease.

Since the last duel in Jingku Valley, Elder Xiaoling was taken away by King Yanxuan and threatened alone, completely outmaneuvering that rogue and domineering.

That King Yanxuan made an outrageous demand!

Xiao Ling was instructed to find the reclusive master Gu, the one at the medical clinic, and use every means possible to obtain a sacred-grade treasure. The Nianling Sect naturally wouldn't do something so unreasonable and obviously unrewarding.

After discussing with the sect leader, elders, and others, Xiao Ling adopted a solution.

drag.

Procrastination is always the most moderate and effective expedient.

And so, it dragged on for three months.

At first, Xiao Ling, Sect Master Zhu Ling, and several elders were very worried, fearing that Yan Xuan Wang's patience would eventually wear out and then the Nian Ling Sect would suffer a great calamity.

However, a long time has passed since then.

Although three months is usually just the time it takes for these cultivators to go into seclusion once, when the Nianling Sect is facing such heavy pressure, no one is in the mood to go into seclusion, so the passage of time naturally feels slower.

Now, they even harbor a sliver of hope that King Yan Xuan has forgotten about this matter.

Besides Xiao Ling.

He knew that King Yanxuan was not the kind of person who would forget things, nor could he possibly forget such a matter; delaying would likely eventually prove ineffective.

"...That King Yanxuan has been silent for a long time."

Zhu Ling said in a low voice.

"Don't mention him, it's bad luck."

Xiao Ling glared at her, and Zhu Ling quickly shut her mouth.

"Three months have passed already, perhaps he has already forgotten about it..."

The Third Elder, Wu Rong, also spoke up quietly.

"Forget? Impossible. He'll remember sooner or later, and then... what should we do?"

Xiao Ling frowned, looking worriedly out of the hall, but he had no choice but to take it one step at a time.

"You're right." A deep and powerful voice suddenly echoed through the hall, startling everyone. Someone had invaded the Nianling Sect!

But just as they were about to make a move, the owner of the voice appeared in the hall, and his aura and appearance made everyone present turn pale.

"I am indeed not a forgetful person."

King Yanxuan stood at the gate, then walked in step by step, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire hall before finally landing on Xiaoling.

"Elder, it's been a long time."

"Yan...King Yan Xuan".

Xiao Ling swallowed hard, trying to remain calm, and forced a smile, saying, "I wonder what brings King Yanxuan here today..."

"Hehehe, do you still remember what you owe me?"

King Yanxuan sneered: "I entrusted you with a task several months ago..."
