Chapter 984 The Strange Sword
Leng Tieya said, "The Soul-Suppressing Seal is also very important to me."

Monkey paused.

The Soul-Suppressing Seal is a demonic artifact, equally important to the Great Heavenly Demon, and even more powerful in its hands.

Therefore, exchanging the relics of the Canghai Patriarch for the Soul-Suppressing Seal is not very reliable.

But since this is a decision made within the government, all I can do is try to persuade them, not hold them back.

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "If it were you, Young Master Meng, would you use the Soul-Suppressing Seal to exchange for it?"

"...I didn't know back then that the Canghai Handwritten Book could allow the Heavenly Demon to enter the Great Heavenly Demon realm, and even the entire manor was unaware of it. Only you, Young Master Leng, discovered it."

Leng Tieya took out a token from his sleeve and waved it in front of him, laughing, "I am now also a disciple of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, so I will call you Senior Brother. We are no longer outsiders, so don't try to fool me."

"..."

Monchi stared at the token.

Leng Tieya threw it to him.

Monchi took it and examined it closely, finally confirming that it was real.

Leng Tieya has become an inner disciple of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, and more importantly, his status is higher than his.

The Great Heavenly Demon Palace is divided into an inner palace and an outer palace. Anyone who enters the Great Heavenly Demon Palace becomes a disciple of the inner palace.

Even though Leng Tieya had just entered the Great Demon Palace, he was allowed to directly enter the inner palace because he was a Great Demon.

Leng Tieya asked, "Senior Brother Meng, what are the relics of your Meng family's Ancestor Canghai?"

"It is said to be the sword of the Ancestor Canghai, named Canghai Sword."

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "This sword should contain the sword intent of Ancestor Canghai, right? Isn't it worth treasuring?"

A master swordsman's sword is often inseparable from him, and over time, it inevitably absorbs his spirit and retains his sword intent.

The sword intent of the Supreme Heavenly Demon is no ordinary sword intent; it contains the mysteries of the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

This is extremely important for the Great Heavenly Demon who seeks to comprehend the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

“Now that we’ve become fellow disciples, we can’t lie to you, junior brother,” Meng Qi sighed and said with a wry smile, “This sword is said to belong to Ancestor Canghai, but whether it actually is or not is a matter of doubt within the clan.”

"Why?"

"This sword has no sword intent, and there are no marks on it."

"...This sword is going to be exchanged for my Soul-Suppressing Seal? Am I a fool?"

"What I'm taking advantage of is your curiosity about Ancestor Canghai and your yearning for the Supreme Heavenly Demon."

“Who wouldn’t want to be a Supreme Heavenly Demon?” Leng Tieya shook his head: “But I’ve only just become a Great Heavenly Demon, and I’m still far from being a Supreme Heavenly Demon. I’m not in such a hurry, and I won’t easily fall for that trick.”

"In addition to this Canghai Sword, we will also include a relic of the Canghai Ancestor."

"what?"

"Grandmaster Canghai also left behind a notebook, which records his insights into martial arts."

Leng Tieya exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this even more precious? You're giving it to me too?"

"Outsiders can't understand these notes."

"Why can't I understand?" Leng Tieya asked, puzzled.

"The writing above is too esoteric, so esoteric, it's like rambling."

"A sword whose origin is unknown, and a martial arts notebook whose meaning is unclear, which may not even belong to the Canghai Ancestor?"

"..."

"The Meng family is too shrewd," Leng Tieya said with a wry smile. "They invited me here just to play with me. What if I don't give in?"

"The clan won't do anything to my junior brother."

"I don't think so... Now that I'm a disciple of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, they won't do anything to me. But if I weren't a disciple of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, it would be a different story, wouldn't it?"

“Junior brother, you are, after all, a Great Heavenly Demon. They won’t force you,” Monchi said with a smile.

Offending a Great Demon Lord comes at a high price, and once a Great Demon Lord goes all out, his destructive power is astonishing; he won't take this step until the very end.

"Bribery..." Leng Tieya laughed, "How about I take a look at these two items first?"

“Okay,” Monchi readily agreed.

……

Leng Tieya watched Meng Qi leave, then turned to Chi Haoyang: "Mr. Chi, what do you think?"

Chi Haoyang shook his head and remained silent.

He felt that the Meng family was acting recklessly and inexplicably, and that the arrogance of a large family had resurfaced.

However, they won't say anything inappropriate or cause trouble.

Ultimately, the decision is not up to others; it is up to Leng Tieya himself to make it.

Leng Tieya strolled around the small courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at the exquisite layout, and laughed, "They've figured out my weakness."

"A handwritten letter from Canghai?" Chi Haoyang asked.

Leng Tieya nodded slowly.

Chi Haoyang said, "If this Canghai Handwritten Book is truly so miraculous, why has it remained unknown all this time? ... It must be just luck, right?" In all these years, Leng Tieya is the first person to enter the Great Heavenly Demon Realm because of the Canghai Handwritten Book.

Were all the previous demons really that stupid?

Obviously not, it was a coincidence, a fluke.

"It was indeed a stroke of luck, but it was also fate... I still believe in fate."

“Young Master, all I know is that the Supreme Heavenly Demon achieved his status without any inheritance,” Chi Haoyang said slowly.

This means that even if one receives instruction from the Supreme Heavenly Demon and inherits his mantle, one cannot become the Supreme Heavenly Demon.

You can't become an unparalleled demon by following someone else's path.

With no path forward to follow, one must find one's own way.

This is a path that no one can help you find; you have to find it all by yourself.

Leng Tieya said, "By reading the martial arts notes and sword intent of the Supreme Heavenly Demon, one may not become the Supreme Heavenly Demon, but one can quickly improve the Heavenly Demon realm."

“...That’s true.” Chi Haoyang nodded.

As the two were talking, Monchi appeared out of nowhere, carrying a long box.

One look at its appearance and you can tell that it contains a long sword.

The long, purplish-blue box was placed on the stone table, and when it was opened, it indeed contained a long sword.

The scabbard was a deep blue, just like the color of a clear sky.

The sword hilt is painted with clouds.

When the two are combined, they resemble blue sky and white clouds.

Meng Qi solemnly took out the longsword and handed it to Leng Tieya with both hands: "Junior brother, this is the Canghai Sword."

Leng Tieya examined the sword but didn't reach out. Instead, he pointed to the purple lacquer box and said, "Senior Brother Meng, put it here for now."

Puzzled, Monchi put the longsword back into its case and turned to look at him.

Leng Tieya said, "Don't break it, or the Meng family will hold you responsible."

Monchi chuckled: "Junior brother, you're being too cautious."

"It's always better to be careful," Leng Tieya shook his head.

Only by being careful can you ensure a safe journey.

I've encountered this kind of situation, being unfairly accused, quite often, both in this world and in my past life.

Monchi smiled and shook his head, saying no more.

Leng Tieya examined the longsword and activated his super senses.

However, under the super-sensory illumination, the sword did not exist.

He reached out and gently touched the hilt of the sword, then touched the scabbard.

The hilt has a warm, smooth feel, and the scabbard is both soft and firm, offering an excellent grip.

What is real and tangible does not exist under extrasensory perception; it is empty and devoid of anything.

If what the eyes see is wrong, surely the senses can't be wrong too, right? What the eyes see and touch at the same time is actually fake?
He was puzzled by the situation before him.

Meng Qi asked, "Junior Brother, have you discovered anything?"

"What discovery?"

"Is there anything special about this sword?" Monchi asked.

Leng Tieya laughed, suddenly vaguely guessing some of Meng's intentions.

They felt they had a special relationship with Ancestor Canghai after seeing themselves pushed into the Great Demon Realm by Canghai's handwritten inscription, so they wanted to figure out the mystery of this sword through their own efforts.

Monchi was baffled by his laughter and looked at Chi Haoyang with great confusion.

Chi Haoyang, however, kept a straight face and remained silent, simply staring at the sword.

Leng Tieya asked with a smile, "Mr. Chi, can you see the mystery behind this sword?"

Chi Haoyang frowned and stared at the sword for a long time before finally shaking his head: "I can't tell."

Meng Qi hurriedly asked, "Junior brother, is there really something mysterious about this?"

Leng Tieya shook his head: "It might be, it might not be, I can't be sure."

Monkey's spirits immediately lifted.

This means that this sword is indeed mysterious!
Leng Tieya flicked his fingers lightly.

"Ding..." A clear sound came from inside the scabbard, like the roar of a dragon.

"A fine sword," Leng Tieya said slowly. "Indeed, a fine sword."

He could sense the sword's eagerness to be used.

He couldn't see the sword with his superhuman senses, but he could feel its wonders through the touch of his skin.

This sword contains the aura that is faintly emerging from the Canghai's handwritten letter.
