If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 183 is terrifying!

The Black Demon King felt his right shoulder being pressed down. He instinctively tried to jump away, but his demonic power froze in an instant and he couldn't mobilize it at all.

His expression changed drastically, and a sense of panic instinctively arose in his heart.

The Crimson Scaled Serpent and Emperor Xie both widened their eyes as they saw a demonic figure appear behind the Black-Hearted Demon King. It was a mysterious figure surrounded by dark purple demonic energy.

Master of the Dao Sword!

Di Xie immediately guessed the true identity of Mo Ying, and he froze, too afraid to move.

He dared not move, while the Black Demon King was unable to move.

Gu An stood behind the Black Annoyance Demon King. He originally wanted to hear some information from the Black Annoyance Demon King, but then he thought, what's the point of listening? Just search his soul and that's it.

It's enough to confirm that the Black Demon King is hostile to the human race!
Despite his best efforts, the Black Demon King was unable to mobilize his demonic power or separate his soul from his body. He caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, which brought his fear to its peak.

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, he had never felt such fear.

Even when he was defeated by the Demon Emperor, he was never this afraid.

This is fear of the unknown!

The other party subdued him with one hand, shattering his understanding of the world.

He struggled to open his mouth, trying to speak, when suddenly a terrifying divine sense rushed into his mind, causing his eyes to instantly lose their luster.

The little red-scaled snake quickly jumped down from the branch. It lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, and said, "I meant no harm... Senior, please don't kill me..."

Di Xie remained silent. Although he knew that the Sword Master Fudao would not kill him, the Sword Master Fudao's sudden appearance still frightened him.

This reminded him of the scene of the demon master being killed.

What exactly is the cultivation level of the Sword Master Fudao?
It should be noted that although the Black-Hearted Demon King was not one of the Seventy-Two Great Demon Kings, his cultivation was not much weaker than that of the Demon Master, and his domain was a demon area that Emperor Xie could not conquer.

Seeing that the Sword Master Fudao did not answer, Di Xie and the Red Scaled Snake could only wait.

They dare not run away.

Even the Black Demon King was suppressed, how could they possibly escape?
As for attacking the Sword Master Fudao, that would be courting death!
"So this is the Sword Master Fudao... So the rumors were true..." the little red-scaled snake thought in fear.

Upon hearing that the Demon Master had been killed by the Sword Venerable Fudao with a single axe blow, it found it absurd and impossible. However, even if it wasn't that exaggerated, the fact that the Sword Venerable Fudao could kill the Demon Master was enough to make it fearful.

When the Demon Emperor assigned it this task, it nearly collapsed.

It had finally managed to adjust its mindset along the way, but it almost broke down again tonight.

Too scary!

No, that's terrifying!
This is even more terrifying than it going to see the Demon Ancestor!
After all, the Demon Ancestor wouldn't suddenly appear...

The two demons waited for two hours, during which time each second felt like an eternity, and they endured extreme torment.

At this time.

Gu An's right hand ignited with a blue flame, which quickly covered the Black Demon King.

Under the watchful eyes of the two demons, the Black-Hearted Demon King was burned to ashes in a very short time, leaving not even his soul behind.

You have successfully seized 7090 years of lifespan from the Black-Hearted Demon King (Nirvana Realm Level 3).

Not bad!

It wasn't a wasted trip!
Judging from the memories of the Black-Hearted Demon King, he was a renowned genius among the demon race, who once even overshadowed the Demon Emperor. Unfortunately, the Demon Emperor later had a great opportunity and surpassed him.

If he hadn't come to the Tai Xuan Sect, he could have lived for another 70,000 years.

Isn’t it good to be alive?
Why do you have to cause trouble?
Gu An thought to himself, his gaze following the red-scaled snake.

The demon core of the Black Demon King fell into Gu An's hands, and he put it into his storage bag for future use.

It's a pity that the Black Demon King didn't bring a storage bag or storage ring. That guy is too arrogant and hasn't used any magical artifacts for many years.

The little red-scaled snake quickly asked, "Senior, are you the Sword Master Fudao?"

Although it had already guessed, it still had to ask, since it concerned the mission arranged by the Demon Emperor.

"Mm," Gu An replied.

The little red-scaled snake breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "His Majesty the Demon Emperor invited me here, hoping to join forces with you to fight against the existence behind the Demon Master and the Demon Ancestor. After the Demon Calamity ends, the Demon Race is willing to live in peace with the Human Race. After all, this continent is too vast, and there is no need to fight for the extinction of a race."

"Who is behind the Demon Master?" Gu An asked.

Black-hearted Demon King had no memory of the Demon Master's backer, nor any scenes of him interacting with cultivators of the Seven Star Spirit Realm. However, he was the Demon Master's confidant and a pawn cultivated by the Demon Master. The Demon Master deliberately prevented him from becoming one of the Seventy-Two Great Demon Kings so that he could fight against the increasingly powerful Demon Emperor in the future.

The little red-scaled snake replied, "Your Majesty said that the being called the Ancestor of Destiny is of unknown human or demon nature. His cultivation is extremely powerful, and he could easily seal Your Majesty's demonic power. The Ancestor of Destiny is very likely the legendary Loose Immortal, who is two major realms higher than the Mahayana Realm!"

A wandering immortal!

This was the first time Di Xie had heard of this realm. He stood aside, very reserved.

Gu An asked, "How exactly will we cooperate?"

He needs to see sincerity.

The little red-scaled snake said, "His Majesty is in a land of demons and cannot easily wage war, but he will send demons to support the human race. These demons are all secretly cultivated by him. They can fight as demon companions of the Tai Xuan Sect, and let Di Xie lead them. His Majesty can then declare to the outside world that Di Xie has betrayed us!"

"How many demons, and what realm?"

“Three Mahayana Realm cultivators, ten Profound Heart Realm cultivators, and a thousand demons, whose cultivation level is at least at the Transcendent Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Di Xie looked at the red-scaled snake in surprise. He hadn't expected that his father had secretly cultivated so many powerful demons.

It seems that Father Emperor had planned this all along! Di Xie smiled; this was the first time he had acknowledged his father.

Gu An also felt that the Demon Emperor was very sincere, and this force could indeed help the human race.

Seeing that the Sword Master Fudao remained silent, the little red-scaled snake added, "Since ancient times, demons have destroyed humans, and humans have destroyed demons, in an endless cycle. Only the Holy Land has endured. His Majesty finds this strange and wants to change this situation. To use a line from your Tai Xuan Immortal's book, when will this cycle of revenge end?"

Gu An turned around and left with a sentence: "Have him take you to see the elders of the Tai Xuan Sect."

He walked into the darkness as if he had never been there.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sword Master. When the continent is at peace in the future, the demon race will surely remember your kindness!"

The little red-scaled snake spoke loudly, its tone excited.

Di Xie bowed to Gu An, showing great courtesy.

After a while, the little red-scaled snake breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "The Sword Master is so terrifying. That was the Black-Hearted Demon King! He died just like that, without even a chance to resist."

Di Xie's eyes were firm as he said, "Just as you said, when will the cycle of revenge end? In the darkness, Heaven is watching everything. Perhaps the Sword Master of the Dao is the savior who will change the suffering of the continent."

The little red-scaled snake nodded; it thought so too.

……

Autumn colors covered the mountains and rivers. Gu An was strolling around the Third Medicine Valley, inspecting the various areas. An Xin accompanied him from behind.

A month has passed since the night the Black Demon King was killed.

The Tai Xuan Sect remained calm, but Gu An noticed that a large number of disciples were building teleportation arrays on the edge of the sect, including Di Xie. Clearly, the Tai Xuan Sect was willing to cooperate with the demon race.

At this critical juncture, the human race is retreating continuously, and the situation is becoming increasingly critical. The Tai Xuan Sect wants to take a gamble, and the reason why they dare to gamble is because of their trust in the Sword Venerable Fudao.

for a long time.

Gu An stopped and gave An Xin a few words of advice before leaving alone.

Anxin watched Gu An's retreating figure, blinked, and felt that her master's temperament had become even more outstanding, giving her a feeling that she couldn't quite describe.

It was this very quality that made her increasingly attached to Gu An. Whenever she saw him, she wanted to get closer, and even without saying a word, she didn't find it boring.

Gu An flew on his sword and quickly arrived at the teleportation platform, heading towards Xuan Valley.

After arriving at Xuan Valley, he quietly left, not to Tianya Valley, but to another part of the Taicang Dynasty's territory.

In a mountain forest, the trees were fallen, and there was blood and flesh everywhere. They were all monster corpses, a horrifying and unbearable sight.

Covered in blood, Zhang Bukui leaned against the mountain wall, panting heavily. His long hair was congealed into strands by the blood plasma, his chest was covered with hideous wounds, and his eyes were full of exhaustion.

He encountered another major battle.

Since the great calamity of demons broke out, he has frequently encountered monsters that want to eat him, and even evil spirits have attacked him.

He had to fight a battle almost every three or four days.

He was constantly injured, constantly recovering, and even narrowly escaped death; he was exhausted.

He wanted to give up many times, but whenever he thought of Uncle Gu's encouragement, he was filled with strength and gritted his teeth to persevere.

"I wonder if Uncle Gu is alright. There are more and more powerful demons roaming the world these days. I hope he hasn't encountered any danger..."

Zhang Buku looked at his blood-soaked hands and thought silently.

He had no relatives or even friends left in the world, so he could only think of Uncle Gu to distract himself and ease the pain.

He didn't notice that there was a figure watching him from above.

It was Gu An.

Gu An's aura vanished into nothingness, and Zhang Bukui, with his cultivation level, could not detect it at all.

Seeing Zhang Buku's injuries, Gu An couldn't bear it.

Since their last parting, he had been using his divine sense to probe Zhang Buku from time to time.

According to Gu An's observation, Zhang Buku is kinder than most people in the world. He never bullies people or demons, and he will stand up for the weak. However, few people or demons are willing to accept him. Even if they are saved by him, they will only stay together for a few days before parting ways.

Zhang Bukui was always looking for companions to make himself less lonely. No matter how many times he was injured, he never harbored resentment. The most dejected time for him was when he met Gu An and wanted to commit suicide.

Given his temperament and experiences, Gu An ultimately couldn't bear it and decided to lend him a hand.

He used his supernatural power, the Nine Transformations of Heaven and Earth, to transform into a sparrow, which descended from the sky and landed in front of Zhang Bukui.

He chirped a few times, attracting Zhang Bukui's attention.

Zhang Buku looked up at it, forcing a smile, and said, "Little sparrow... are you concerned about me?"

Gu An hopped forward, then turned back and continued to chirp.

Zhang Bukui did not respond. Gu An continued forward and then turned back again.

Now Zhang Bukui understood. He endured the pain and asked, "You want me to come with you?"

The sparrow chirped a few more times. Seeing this, Zhang Bukui mustered his strength, stood up, and limped after the sparrow.

He left a long trail of blood, which began to gleam in the sunlight.
