Chapter 1012 Mask
Zhou Jiongming listened to his detailed account and nodded slightly from time to time.

He felt that he himself probably couldn't do what Leng Tieya did.

Courage, composure, ruthlessness, and precision are the keys to today's achievements and successes.

After Leng Tieya finished speaking, Zhou Jiongming asked, "Do you think we can destroy the Yougu Sect?"

Leng Tieya said, "We can't destroy them."

The power of the Nether Bone Sect is beyond imagination.

The reason I can handle things so easily is because I have gained those memories.

The Great Heavenly Demon Palace possesses many wondrous techniques, but none possess such divine power; otherwise, the current situation would not be as it is today.

Trying to crush someone with sheer strength is not an easy task.

Most importantly, the Yougu Sect is half in the Demon Realm and half in the Monster Realm, and they can still be resurrected.

Even now that we know the secrets of the Ghost Bone Flower, we still cannot completely annihilate the entire Ghost Bone Sect.

Seeing that things were not going well, they ran towards the demon realm. Did they intend to be chased all the way to the demon realm?
Once they reach the Demon Realm, the demon experts will be weakened by the Demon Realm. It is still the territory of the Nether Bone Sect. If they dare to go there, the Great Heavenly Demon Palace will definitely suffer.

Zhou Jiongming frowned, his gaze intense.

Leng Tieya said frankly, "The steward understands this as well, doesn't he?"

Zhou Jiongming snorted and said, "It seems you know quite a bit about the Yougu Sect."

Leng Tieya said, "If they were so easy to wipe out, they would have been gone long ago."

Zhou Jiongming said coldly, "So, all our efforts this time have been in vain?"

"...It can hone the skills of both outer and inner palace disciples, so it's not a waste of effort."

"How sarcastic!" Zhou Jiongming snorted.

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "If I hadn't fought against the Great Demon of the Yougu Sect, I wouldn't have been able to improve like this."

“That’s true.” Zhou Jiongming nodded.

The progress at Lengtieya has exceeded expectations.

Clearly, this kind of fighting is more suitable for his cultivation.

However, each Great Demon King has a different way of cultivating. Fighting is suitable now, but traveling might be more suitable after a while, or even later, seclusion might be more suitable.

The cultivation of the Great Heavenly Demon has no fixed method and is constantly changing. It all depends on luck and whether one can find the right cultivation method at the right time to make rapid progress.

Such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by in a lifetime. Leng Tieya was extremely lucky to have encountered it, which is truly enviable.

Zhou Jiongming said slowly, "The Yougu Sect is too cruel and poses a great threat to us. We should destroy it."

"Does the steward have a solution?" Leng Tieya asked.

Zhou Jiongming said, "Start with the demon realm, find their headquarters, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

“The Demon Realm…” Leng Tieya frowned and said, “Going to the Demon Realm would weaken our cultivation and be too frustrating… Do we have a base there?”

“There is a secret location,” Zhou Jiongming said, “but our strength is too weak; we can only gather information.”

Leng Tieya asked, "How many disciples would it take to destroy the Yougu Sect in the Demon Realm?"

"And find out their true strength, how many experts they have, and how many experts it will take to wipe them out. Then, we'll strike with lightning speed." Zhou Jiongming looked at him intently.

Leng Tieya chuckled: "Does the steward perhaps want me to come over?"

"how?"

"...You really want me to go?" Leng Tieya asked in surprise, "Alone?"

“The quality of soldiers is more important than the quantity. You are extremely lucky right now and are very skilled in killing.” Zhou Jiongming said, “Sending other inner palace disciples over there will not help you but will only be a hindrance.”

"The steward thinks too highly of me," Leng Tieya said.

He understood Zhou Jiongming's meaning.

The most crucial thing for me is that I have a magic weapon that can break through the air, so I can escape at any time.

Even a Great Demon King would be in mortal danger upon arriving in the Demon Realm. As a Great Demon King himself, and possessing a Void-Piercing Demonic Artifact, he was indeed the best candidate.

Zhou Jiongming said, "I'll give you another Cloud Concealment Robe; the two can be stacked."

Leng Tieya pondered.

Zhou Jiongming said, "Here's another demon god mask for you."

Leng Tieya raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Jiongming said, "Once you put on the Demon God Mask, the demon race will not be able to detect that your aura is different."

"The Cloud Concealment Robe alone is not enough?"

"The Cloud Concealing Robe can hide one's aura, making it ideal for sneak attacks and assassinations, or for escaping. However, at close range, it contains not only demonic energy but also many other auras, making it difficult to conceal from the demon race."

"What other uses does the Demon God Mask have?"

“Even if you use demonic energy, they will still think it’s demonic energy,” Zhou Jiongming said. “It’s practically flawless.”

Leng Tieya asked curiously, "Steward, how many of these demon god masks do we have in our palace?"

“There were originally six, but four of them were damaged one after another, leaving only two. One of them has already been given to Junior Brother Hu, so this is the only one left.” He said, clapping his hands.

Zheng Shanggong, who had been standing not far away, bowed slightly and turned to leave.

When he returned, he carried a small box on the tray in his hands. The small purple lacquered box was only the size of a palm, its faint luster shimmering with a sense of vicissitude and antiquity.

The purple box was presented to Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya opened it without hesitation, and inside was a soft silk scarf.

Moon white, at first glance it looks like a silk handkerchief, old and rough, as if it had been used for a long time.

Leng Tieya looked at Zhou Jiongming.

Zhou Jiongming said, "Why not give it a try?"

Leng Tieya picked up the silk scarf.

It feels supple and light, so light it seems weightless, like it's floating in the air.

When it was placed in front of him, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, making him breathe a sigh of relief.

He thought it would have a strange smell, but he never expected it to be so pleasantly fragrant.

He spread his hands out, forming an oval shape, and pressed it against his face.

As if it were magnetic, it immediately adhered to my face, and with a slight coolness, it seemed to penetrate beneath my skin.

So I reached out and touched it.

The touch felt just like skin, and the sensation on my face was like being stroked by a hand.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Wonderful!"

With his super-sensory perception, he could clearly see the changes in himself; he no longer had the characteristics of a demon and looked like a monster.

He had been to the demon realm before and had killed many demon experts outside Phoenix Imperial City, so he knew everything.

Masculine, rugged, and strong.

His blood and qi were fierce, like a furnace, and it was clear at a glance that he was a great master of the demon race.

His cultivation as a Great Heavenly Demon was also revealed through the Demon God Mask.

It resembles a great celestial demon of the demon race.

He also knew that he was in the Demon Realm, and if he went to the Monster Realm, he would be weakened.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Jiongming: "Can it be kept secret from the demon realm?"

Zhou Jiongming shook his head: "We can fool the demon race, but we can't fool the demon realm."

Leng Tieya sighed, "Alas... what a pity."

“It’s already rare to have this,” Zhou Jiongming said. “It was obtained by a great demon by chance. If it weren’t for it, we would have a hard time establishing ourselves in the demon realm.”

Leng Tieya nodded slowly: "Alright, then I will go and take a look at the Demon Realm."

Zhou Jiongming extended his left hand.

Leng Tieya extended his right hand and pressed it against Leng Tieya's palm.

After a moment, Leng Tieya nodded solemnly.

Zhou Jiongming used the Soul Pearl to pull another Soul Pearl over and bring it into contact with Leng Tieya's Soul Pearl.

From then on, Leng Tieya was able to communicate with this Soul Pearl.

The owner of this Soul Pearl is Hu Chaoen, the Great Demon King residing in the Demon Realm.

You can contact Leng Tieya directly once you get there.

"Master Steward, what about Master Zhu..."

"I will tell Junior Sister Zhu that you can go to the Demon Realm as you wish."

“Yes.” Leng Tieya nodded.

He already knew about the other locations, but he couldn't say it directly.

The Great Demon Palace can search slowly; with their abilities, they'll find it sooner or later.

He wanted to be the first to absorb the aura of the Netherworld Soil and the wisp of aura from the Netherworld Bone Flower.

If they act together with Zhu Qingzhi and the others, they will be constrained and find it difficult to make their own moves.

It is best to get away now, as it is the most advantageous time to proceed.

……

On the lakeside in the valley, Chu Liezhao opened his eyes and looked at a slender girl who floated in.

The young woman was beautiful and gentle. She approached gracefully, clasped her hands in greeting, and handed a bamboo tube to Li Miaotan.

Li Miaotan nodded slightly, opened the bamboo tube, took out the letter, quickly glanced at it, handed it to Chu Liezhao, and said with a smile, "The good news has finally arrived."

Chu Liezhao asked, "Will the Yuanzhen Dynasty really give up?"

“Since Mother has said so, it must be true,” Li Miaotan said.

Chu Liezhao nodded slowly.

That's right. The Empress is very steady in her actions and wouldn't speak recklessly.
