Chapter 979 Recovery
Song Zhixia's eyes immediately lit up, and she jumped up, opened the window, and looked down.

Fulai Restaurant is a circular structure with a central courtyard containing a circular stage.

Opening the window reveals the entire stage, as well as parts of the first and second floors.

She saw the patrons on the first and second floors get up one after another, some drinking their fill, others calling their friends, and rushing outside.

They were clearly vying for the Canghai manuscript.

She turned her head to look at Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang, who were sitting steadily, as if it were none of her business.

She scolded playfully, "Second sister, don't just sit there! Are we not going to go and rob it?"

Song Lianshuang said softly, "Little sister, didn't you hear what Brother Leng said? It's not a good thing."

“But…” Song Zhixia felt that even if there were risks, it was worth a try.

Song Lian Shuang shook her head and said, "Think about it, how many Heavenly Demons have become Great Heavenly Demons because of it over the years?"

Although I am talented, I am not exceptionally gifted or outstanding.

Even the most outstanding person in their generation may not be able to become a great demon simply by writing in the vast ocean.

Entering the Great Demon Palace and cultivating step by step, the chances of advancing to the Great Demon realm are far greater than those of the Canghai Handbook.

Therefore, there is no need to seize it.

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "Are the Meng family's experts so easily discovered?"

"Hmm—?" Song Zhixia's bright eyes flickered, and she asked in surprise, "They're fake?"

"Shouldn't we at least have one in the open and one in the shadows?" Leng Tieya said.

This is the most basic and simplest technique; the Meng family would not have been unaware of it.

Didn't these demons expect this?
Many probably thought of this, but still ended up joining in the fun, partly out of wishful thinking, and partly because being in a group can lower one's intelligence, and being swept up by emotions can lead to a loss of composure.

More importantly, the Fulai Restaurant is not far from the Lu residence, and is within the range of the super-sensory coverage.

The demons returning to the Meng family split into three groups.

Meng Qi and two Meng family experts formed one group, two Meng family experts formed another group, and two more Meng family experts formed a third group.

One of the paths in the Monkey King's path is Yang, while the other two are Yin.

Neither of these two experts knew whether the Canghai manuscript they possessed was genuine or not.

Only Monchi and two other skilled fighters who accompanied him knew which route was the real one.

Leng Tieya nodded to himself as he read.

This is not only to guard against outsiders, but also against the Lu family and the Meng family's own experts.

It can only be said that they are indeed a top family and have a lot of experience in doing things.

This also prevents these experts from succumbing to temptation and making mistakes.

What Leng Tieya found even more disheartening was that all three of their groups were actually fake.

While others use a mix of feints and real attacks, the Meng family's move is a complete deception.

All three paths are false; the true handwritten letter from Canghai remains in the Lu family.

The handwritten letter from Canghai was kept in the Lu family's secret chamber, sealed in a special container to prevent it from escaping.

However, he had already established a strange spiritual connection with Canghai's handwritten letter, and could sense its presence.

I could clearly sense that Canghai's handwritten letter was inside the Lu residence.

The demons outside were completely fooled and their efforts were all for nothing.

Song Zhixia persisted: "We won't fight over it, but we can go and watch the excitement."

Song Lianshuang laughed and shook her head.

Song Zhixia hurriedly said, "Second sister, I really won't snatch it, I'm just here to watch the fun!"

Song Lianshuang said, "Little sister, there's nothing interesting to watch in this commotion, it's quite ugly. Why don't you read a book or play the zither?"

“I love watching the excitement, Second Sister!” Song Zhixia shook Song Lianshuang’s arm.

Song Lian Shuang's body was shaken from side to side, but she only smiled and did not agree.

Song Zhixia's bright eyes darted around, and she turned to Leng Tieya with a charming smile, "Brother Leng, don't you want to see the Meng family suffer?"

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "The Meng family won't be unlucky; those who join in the fun will be the ones who suffer."

Song Zhixia snorted and said, "No matter how strong the Meng family is, they can't stop so many Heavenly Demons, can they?"

"Then shall we just watch the excitement from afar?" Leng Tieya smiled at Song Lianshuang.

Song Lian Shuang glared at Song Zhi Xia: "Won't this cause trouble? Especially since your relationship with the Meng family is too sensitive."

The Meng family believed that he had instigated the demons to steal the Canghai manuscript, which deepened the enmity between them.

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "Even if we don't go, the Meng family will think that I am the one who caused trouble. Let's stay away and not get too close so that we don't get splashed with blood."

“Yes, yes, yes.” Song Zhixia quickly agreed: “Brother Leng, Second Sister, let’s go quickly.”

……

They arrived at a mountaintop outside Zhongyun City and witnessed a fierce battle in front of a grove of trees. A group of powerful demons were besieging Monchi and two middle-aged men in the center.

The three formed a pincer movement, with Monchi charging ahead and the two middle-aged men protecting his flanks and rear.

Monkey's fists were like hammers, invincible and almost no one could withstand a single blow.

Those who besiege are all Heavenly Demons; those below the Heavenly Demon level will not come up to their deaths.

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, the sword's edge was as solid as a physical object, its power astonishing; wherever it passed, tree branches shattered and rocks shattered.

But the blades and swords vanished and disappeared the moment they touched the bronze hammers conjured by his fists.

If you get close to him, the moment you touch his fists, you'll be sent flying, spitting blood in mid-air.

The other two middle-aged Meng family experts did not appear particularly strong, but they were not weak either. Those who tried to launch a sneak attack from behind were all stopped by them.

Monkey's fists swung wildly like hammers, his feet moving at incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, they had entered the woods.

The forest could not deter the burning desires of the demons, who followed them inside.

Leng Tieya and the two women stood on the mountaintop, watching as the trees disappeared at a visible speed, turning into clearings.

It looked as if a giant serpent was devouring these trees, forming a long passage.

“These guys.”

Song Zhixia broke off a tree branch and waved it vigorously, drawing circles towards the demons below.

Seeing how incompetent they were, she shook her head repeatedly, looking disappointed in their lack of ambition.

Song Lian Shuang whispered, "Is this the power of the disciples of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace?"

"He's not practicing the Meng family's inner cultivation method, is he?" Leng Tieya asked.

Song Lian Shuang shook her head: "The Meng family's martial arts are sword techniques, but his fist techniques should be the extraordinary techniques of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace."

Song Zhixia said, "When he fought with you, Brother Leng, he wasn't this imposing."

"Maybe he's letting me win?" Leng Tieya laughed.

Song Zhixia rolled her eyes at him, displeased with the way he coaxed her like a child.

Song Lian Shuang said, "They can't stop Meng Qi, so they all want to retreat."

She noticed that fewer and fewer Heavenly Demons were impacting the area, and many of them hesitated and did not move.

Leng Tieya said, "If I were Meng Qi, I wouldn't let them go. It would be a good opportunity to establish our authority."

Monchi's defeat in his own contest actually damaged his reputation.

Many demons inevitably thought that Meng Qi was all talk and no action, and that the Meng family had also declined.

This is a golden opportunity for Monchi to salvage his reputation and that of the Monchi family.

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Qi's voice rang out: "Cang Hai's handwritten letter is here, who dares to snatch it?!"

He held up a long tube, as long and thick as an arm.

He shook the machine violently twice and laughed loudly, "You want to steal it? Come on, knock me down and take it!"

He continued laughing loudly, "Leng Tieya broke through to the Great Heavenly Demon realm with this!"

"Rob--!"

The surrounding demons surged forward again, seemingly desperate.

Leng Tieya shook his head.

Song Zhixia sighed, "I have to say, this Meng Qi is really ruthless."

Song Lian Shuang said, "This is fake, isn't it?"

“It’s fake.” Leng Tieya nodded.

"So even if someone steals it, it doesn't matter," Song Lianshuang said. "He just wants to use this battle to rebuild his reputation, doesn't he?"

Leng Tieya nodded.

Song Zhixia flicked the branch and snorted, "This is really troublesome."

She hadn't expected that everything was so scheming and backstabbing; she felt like a fool.

Leng Tieya suddenly laughed and said, "They're getting tough now. Meng Qi is in for trouble!"

He saw a middle-aged man appear from a distance, like a leaf drifting in the wind, but moving incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, he was outside the demon horde, tall and thin, standing with his hands behind his back.

The weariness and dejection between his brows could not conceal his handsome appearance.

"Does Sister Song recognize him?" Leng Tieya gestured with his lips.

Song Lian Shuang gently shook her head: "Your cultivation is very strong?"

"He's only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Great Heavenly Demon," Leng Tieya said. "He's far stronger than Meng Qi."
