The corners of the Demon Lord's mouth curled into a dark smile as he slowly leaned down. "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to serve me, I will never treat you unfairly!"
After saying this, he whispered something into the ear of the Lizard Spirit. Then, he turned to glance at Jing Yue and with a whoosh, transformed into a cloud of black mist, instantly disappearing into the southwestern sky.
The Demon Lord's eyes swept over the woman standing foolishly to the side. Having lost her magic power, she held no value for him. Yet, as long as she remained, the Lizard Spirit would help him because of her.
"Oh dear, oh dear! What a heartless father," a sigh came from behind the stone wall of Tianshan Peak, immediately catching the Demon Lord's attention. He turned and shouted at the stone wall, "Who is hiding there? Come out!"
A figure emerged from behind the stone wall, dressed in a black cloak and wearing a Ghost Face Mask that concealed his identity completely.
The Demon Lord's red pupils contracted quickly. He slowly clenched his hand and stared at the suddenly appearing Mysterious Masked Man. "Hmph, I thought you were someone important; turns out you're just an ant too afraid to show your face."
"Such harsh words!" The Masked Man seemed unfazed, crossing his arms over his chest. "I'm not here to fight; I just want to discuss a deal with you."
A deal? Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord finally relaxed his grip. The person before him didn't seem inclined to fight, so he couldn't help but sneer. "How interesting; I didn't expect anyone in this world would dare to make a deal with me. Do you think you're something special? Do you want to leave on your own or should I send you to hell?"
"Haha, don't be so quick to judge; I haven't said anything yet!" To show his sincerity, the Masked Man reached up and removed the cloak covering his head, then took off the mask from his face.
"Hmm?" Upon seeing the Masked Man's face, the Demon Lord frowned and then burst into laughter. "I never expected it would be you. How interesting! In that case, I'll make an exception and listen to your proposal."
The dark corners of his mouth revealed a contemptuous smile as the true identity of the Masked Man was voluntarily exposed to the Demon Lord. The turbulent undercurrents between demons and humans surged once more.
On Dagula Mountain, a red figure stood atop a height gazing down below. Bored, he touched his mouth and yawned.
"I'm so bored! The boss actually sent me to do such a dull task. Old Wolf isn't even here to practice with me; my skills are getting rusty! I really want to find someone to spar with!" Fire Rat looked around at the imperial city and yawned again.
He formed a circle with his hands and peered through it with his Red Eyes. Immediately, he spotted a figure nearby and smiled. "Oh? It seems like there's someone there?"
He squinted at the family crest embroidered on the arm, and a look of unusual excitement couldn't be concealed at the corners of his mouth: "An Exorcist, from a legitimate family no less. I really am quite lucky!"
Below the mountains, Ouyang Zhentian happened to arrive here, less than a hundred miles from the Skyward Mountain Demon Sealing Tower. The air was thick with the oppressive aura of demons.
With eyes as sharp as an eagle's, he scanned the surroundings. The dense forest concealed Killing Intent everywhere, as if pairs of eyes were watching him, waiting for the right moment to strike.
With a loud rumble, a series of piercing sounds came from the slope ahead. Ouyang Zhentian quickly turned his head to look, only to see a massive black mist rushing towards him.
Demons, he realized immediately. The momentum was fierce and clearly not from ordinary beings. He quickly took a step back and drew the Golden Silk Great Ring Blade from behind him, making a sound as it was unsheathed.
"Hmph!" Ouyang Zhentian snorted coldly, raising the large blade in his hand that shimmered with golden light. His eyes flashed with coldness as he channeled energy from his dantian directly into the blade, its brilliance shining like flames.
"Exorcism Essence: Xuantian Demon-Slaying Slash!" he shouted angrily. The large blade spun in his hand, creating two cross-shaped gales. Snowflakes began to swirl in the air as a silvery power struck into the sky, slashing towards the black mist like an Ice Pillar.
The black mist shifted direction and with a whoosh landed lightly on an adjacent clearing, moving gracefully as if unharmed by the attack.
Ouyang Zhentian frowned and sheathed the Golden Silk Great Ring Blade, turning to face the unexpected guest who had landed nearby: "Who are you?"
"Hehe!" The Fire Rat's eyes revealed intense Killing Intent, its pupils shaped like crescent moons. It licked its lips as if savoring something and stood up: "That's what I want to ask you."
"Hmm?" Ouyang Zhentian stared at the Fire Rat's bizarre appearance, which looked just like a mouse. He quickly realized: "Are you that general under the Demon Lord: Fire Rat?"
The Fire Rat wore an expression of surprise, raising an eyebrow and covering its mouth as it laughed: "I didn't expect that after being in hiding for over a hundred years, someone would still recognize me. It seems it's indeed good to get out and about!"
Indeed, Ouyang Zhentian's expression began to show excitement: "What a stroke of luck! To find you without even trying hard—today is your day of reckoning, Fire Rat."
"Just dealt with one of the Ninth Rank, and now another one shows up." Fire Rat crossed his arms and continuously sized up Ouyang Zhentian in front of him. "What rank are you? That so-called Saint Ten?"
The Ninth Rank? Isn't that Xiao Ranfu? Ouyang Zhentian's brows furrowed tightly. This guy named Fire Rat didn't seem easy to handle. He slowly shook the Golden Silk Great Ring Blade in his hand and declared, "Saint Ten, Third Rank: Ouyang Zhentian!"
"Third Rank, huh!" Fire Rat stroked his chin and glanced around with a sideways look. So it's the Ice Element Exorcist, which means it's a combination of Wind and Water, plus manipulation abilities, allowing him to wield three powers.
Moreover, he had just used the Five-Character Formula, causing snowflakes to swirl in the air, and the ground beneath them began to freeze. It seemed that being Third Rank indeed had its merits. Fire Rat became extremely excited, extending his claws and laughing arrogantly, "Old man, encountering you is your biggest mistake. Let's see who takes down whom today!"
Swish! Swish! Swish! Fire Rat lunged at Ouyang Zhentian with his claws extended. Wherever his fiery fingertips passed, they struck against the great ring blade with loud clinks. The area around Fire Rat was engulfed in flames, melting the ice on the ground into a pool of stagnant water.
This is troublesome. While Ouyang Zhentian countered Fire Rat's attacks, he looked down at the melting ice layer on the ground. This guy actually has fire properties; in terms of advantages and disadvantages, his ice abilities held no advantage at all.
In no time, their battle reached a stalemate. Yet Fire Rat seemed far from satisfied, waving his hands to raise the temperature of the entire forest. The snowflakes melted before they even touched the ground.
This was the first time Ouyang Zhentian encountered such a tricky opponent. However, this guy was a major general under the Demon Lord. If he lost here, how would he stand in the Exorcism Realm afterward? The Ouyang Clan would surely be ridiculed by others. Therefore, today he must fight to preserve his reputation.
As Ouyang Zhentian faced Fire Rat's sudden attack and their battle intensified, on the other side Azure Wind Sword One was chasing after a plume of black smoke in the sky, arriving at a secret base he had never been to before.
Nether Abyss? He frowned as he looked around at the environment and noticed four large characters carved into the stone wall. This place was said to be the territory of the Serpent Empress back in the day. After the Serpent Empress was sealed away, no one had come here since; it had been empty for over a hundred years.
After the black mist descended from the sky, it immediately vanished without a trace. Azure Wind Sword One cautiously surveyed his surroundings when he suddenly discovered a dark cave. Without hesitation, he walked inside.
