Chapter 313: Demon Lord of Peaceful Sky
"My fellow Daoists, do not overthink this; as a mere practitioner of the Dao, I naturally would not engage in actions that go against the heavens and reason."
Shen Gongbao spoke with righteous indignation, but his words effectively cursed the five cultivators under their breath. It was just a roundabout way of insulting them.
Shen Gongbao continued, "To be honest, my journey to the Langya Mountain Range concerns a matter that involves countless lives and is also related to the Cat People Clan that you have recently been vying over. I hope that you, my brothers, can lend me your strength. I can see that you are all formidable beings who can stand against heaven itself."
The five were somewhat dizzy with his words, yet also drawn in by them.
"What matter?" hurriedly asked the middle-aged man with a goat-like face, the idea of it concerning countless lives sounding quite intimidating.
"The Cat People Clan are an ancient and unique race; their depth is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Otherwise, they would have been divided among the Human Clan long ago. How could they have waited until today?" Shen Gongbao said solemnly, appearing like a savior. He was clearly setting a trap.
The five cultivators began to frown as they followed Shen Gongbao’s line of thought. Indeed, with the Cat People having existed for tens of thousands of years, how could they not have something up their sleeve?
"You mustn’t divulge what I’m about to tell you. Since we meet by the water—what fate! I’ll let you in on a secret. I recently happened to encounter a Cat Person. Do you know what it wanted to do?" Shen Gongbao’s voice lowered, subtly making the five men start to believe him.
The middle-aged man with a goat-like face likewise lowered his voice and asked, "What did it want to do?"
"It was looking to send a message to a recently risen Demon Lord of the Demon Clan!" Shen Gongbao said, feigning an ugly expression.
Demon Lord!
