Chapter 987 Guarding
The Soul-Suppressing Seal is a demonic artifact. Even if a Heavenly Demon is no match for a Great Heavenly Demon, he can still protect himself and escape unscathed with this seal.

Even if a great demon wielding this seal cannot be invincible, he can still far surpass his peers.

If a top-ranking Great Heavenly Demon possesses this seal, he can practically dominate the world.

He had no hope that Leng Tieya would hand over the Soul-Suppressing Seal.

After all, if it were me, I would never hand it over; I would hold onto it tightly until my death.

He never imagined that he could exchange this item for something so ethereal and elusive as the relics of the Canghai Ancestor.

Leng Tieya's head was completely fuzzy.

They felt that the world was vast and they could go anywhere. They felt that once they went to the Great Demon Palace, they would be safe and sound and could devote themselves to cultivation.

All I can say is that they were too young and naive.

There is also open and covert struggle and competition within the Great Demon Palace.

He will regret it if he suffers a loss in the future.

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "Senior Brother Meng, haven't I done more than enough?"

Monchi clasped his hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you, junior brother."

He also thought Leng Tieya was stupid, but he also felt that Leng Tieya was not stupid.

Perhaps the relics of the Canghai Patriarch do indeed contain great mysteries, but the Meng family simply hasn't discovered them yet.

But what's done is done, there's no use in regretting it now, we can only wait and see.

Regardless, by discarding the Canghai Ancestor's relics, which were useless to the Meng Clan, obtaining the Soul-Suppressing Seal was a huge win for the Meng Clan.

This can be considered a win-win situation.

Leng Tieya said, "Then I will take my leave to avoid having to go back on my word."

“Junior Brother isn’t that kind of person.” Meng Qi’s heart skipped a beat, then he smiled and asked, “When is Junior Brother going to the Great Demon Palace?”

"It will be over in a couple of days," Leng Tieya said. "Then we'll meet again at the Great Heavenly Demon Palace. Farewell."

"I'll see my junior brother off." Monchi addressed his junior brother with great affection.

Leng Tieya, carrying the box, nodded to Meng Chi and left.

Monkey breathed a long sigh of relief.

Meng Chi also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, your senior brother is very straightforward."

Knowing his bottom line in advance, they made targeted bets and thus successfully obtained the Soul-Suppressing Seal.

However, if Leng Tieya were too greedy and insatiable, thinking that the Meng family would have to pay even more, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Leng Tieya entered the Great Heavenly Demon realm at a young age, a time when he was full of vigor and ambition. It is truly remarkable that he knew when to stop.

Monchi smiled wryly and said, "He is indeed decisive, but I doubt we can become friends."

Although it wasn't his intention to marry Lu Qiaozhen, he had blocked his path to marrying her, which was tantamount to the hatred of having his wife stolen.

The hatred of killing his father and the humiliation of having his wife stolen are the greatest shames and disgrace.

I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I were in that situation.

"Let's try our best to make up for it," Meng Chi said. "This man has a bright future ahead of him, not to mention he has a letter from Cang Hai."

Monchi sighed, "Yes."

Meng Chi said, "Play to his tastes. I think he likes the things of the Supreme Heavenly Demon."

Monchi shook his head: "Uncle, where am I supposed to get the supreme demonic artifact?"

"It is said that the Lu family has one," Meng Chi said. "The Lu family also produced a supreme demon, but it was too long ago, and most people don't know about it anymore."

Monchi immediately perked up.

“Our relationship with the Lu family is still quite good,” Meng Chi said with a smile. “Go and find a way to ask for it and give it to your junior brother. That should be able to ease the tension.”

"...Can it really work?" Monchi hesitated.

He felt that if he were in that situation, he would find it hard to forgive the person who took his woman.

Even if it's something you like.

"I think this person is good at taking things in stride, so I might as well give it a try. Even if we can't become friends, we shouldn't become enemies."

“…Yes!” Monchi nodded through gritted teeth.

-

Leng Tieya carried two boxes in his hands and floated along with Chi Haoyang.

Chi Haoyang remained silent.

Leng Tieya smiled and said, "Mr. Chi, if you have something to attend to, please go ahead and do your work."

Chi Haoyang shook his head: "I'm fine."

"Not going back to the Chi family?"

"I'm not going back," Chi Haoyang shook his head and said, "I have no more attachments to the Chi family."

Leng Tieya said, "Then come to my house, be a worshipper, enjoy a peaceful life, and if you have any trouble, you can also exchange ideas and study with me."

Chi Haoyang pondered.

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "You can also go to the Great Heavenly Demon Palace; I'm sure they won't refuse."

The Great Heavenly Demon Palace holds a prestigious position and maintains a cold and aloof attitude, but that depends on who they are dealing with.

As for the Heavenly Demon and those below him, they are naturally beyond his reach and must be looked up to.

The situation is different for the Great Heavenly Demon.

If a Great Demon wants to join the Great Demon Palace, as long as his background and character are acceptable, they will almost never refuse.

Chi Haoyang comes from the Chi family, and since he has already reconciled with the Chi family, and the person who framed him has committed suicide, he has no problem.

Entering the Great Demon Palace is not a problem.

Chi Haoyang pondered.

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "Then let's go to the Great Demon Palace and travel together?"

Chi Haoyang is not very old, and he may not have given up his pursuit of the supreme demonic path.

Then they would tend to choose to go to the Great Demon Palace.

"I'd better go to the Leng family's place," Chi Haoyang said slowly. Leng Tieya looked at him in surprise.

After becoming a Great Demon, the Leng family had sufficient protection, and no one dared to provoke them.

Moreover, the Leng family is guarded by a Great Heavenly Demon and possesses a treasure that protects their residence, making them not so easy to deal with.

Of course, it would be even better if Chi Haoyang went, as the addition of a Great Heavenly Demon would significantly increase their strength.

“I don’t want to stay in the Chi family, and I can’t cultivate in peace anywhere else. Staying in the Leng family is good enough,” Chi Haoyang said. “Besides, there’s also Canghai’s handwritten letter.”

As the young master of the Leng family and a Great Demon King, Leng Tieya had no need to bow down to the Meng family.

Agreeing to exchange the Soul-Suppressing Seal was not an attempt to curry favor, but rather a way to gain an advantage, and not a small one at that.

The root of the problem likely lies in Canghai's handwritten letter.

“…Alright.” Leng Tieya nodded slowly: “Then Mr. Chi, you will be responsible for guarding this Canghai Handbook.”

Chi Haoyang nodded solemnly.

Leng Tieya floated along, smiling as he said, "It seems Mr. Chi has also figured it out."

"Is Canghai's handwritten letter truly mysterious?"

"After all, it is formed from the essence, energy, and spirit of an unparalleled demon." Leng Tieya said slowly, "Mr. Chi, if you have time, you should practice your calligraphy more."

"Is it related to calligraphy?"

“If you are proficient in calligraphy, you will have a deeper understanding of this handwriting. ... Mr. Chi, your entry into the Great Demon Realm is also related to this handwriting, so you have an understanding of it. Others may not be able to do it.”

“Young Master, I’ve never understood,” Chi Haoyang said, puzzled, “why are others unmoved by Canghai’s letter?”

Why has the Canghai Manuscript been in the Meng Clan for so many years, yet no disciple has been moved to enter the Great Heavenly Demon Sect, except for Leng Tieya, an outsider?

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "This Ancestor Canghai is an exceptionally talented person with outstanding aptitude. Therefore, the threshold for Canghai's calligraphy is high... These Meng family disciples cannot unleash the mysteries of Canghai's calligraphy."

“…I see.” Chi Haoyang chuckled.

Ultimately, the reason is nothing other than that the Meng family members are too incompetent and not worthy of being beneficiaries of Canghai's handwritten works.

This Patriarch Canghai was indeed quite arrogant.

……

In a small courtyard on the west side of the Leng residence, there is a plaque outside the courtyard with the three large characters "Canghai Hall".

The handwriting is brand new and full of vigor, like three eagles ready to spread their wings and fly away at any moment.

Chi Haoyang is the owner of this small courtyard.

After having tea with Leng Tieya, he took his leave.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, Leng Yuqing hurriedly came to greet him: "The patriarch has emerged from seclusion and wants to see you."

Leng Tieya chuckled: "Finally, you have time to see me. Let's go."

Leng Yuqing glared at him and said, "Stop being sarcastic and speak properly to the patriarch!"

"Big sister, I am now the Great Heavenly Demon."

"You are the Supreme Demon King, my brother, and the son of the family head!"

"So you're acknowledging me as your son now?" Leng Tieya said dismissively.

"Stop complaining. You're already lucky compared to your older brother!"

"...Alright, see the patriarch."

Leng Tieya said no more, his casual expression turning solemn.

Leng Yuqing nodded in satisfaction.

……

The small lake in the back garden is like a mirror, with the bright sunlight shimmering on its rippling surface.

In a small pavilion in the middle of the lake, a thin middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the fish swimming in the lake.

A gentle breeze swept across the lake, entered the pavilion, and fluttered his green robe.

He was calm and indifferent, like a statue.

When Leng Tieya and Leng Yuqing arrived at the pavilion, he still had his back to them, gazing at the lake.

Leng Yuqing said, "Patriarch..."

Leng Tieya shook his head.

Leng Yuqing tugged at his sleeve and glared at him fiercely.

Leng Tieya coughed lightly and said, "Isn't the patriarch going to congratulate me?"

Leng Dongge seemed to wake up, slowly turned around, and stared intently at him.

Leng Tieya said, "It seems the patriarch is not here to congratulate me, but to question my crimes."

Leng Dongge said in a deep voice, "You returned the Soul-Suppressing Seal to the Meng family?"

"Yes, it was returned to the Meng family. There was no other way; we couldn't afford to offend them."

“Heh!” Leng Dongge let out a cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning.

"Does the patriarch resent that I showed too much weakness?" Leng Tieya said calmly.

Leng Dongge snorted: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?"

"You're disturbing the patriarch's seclusion, so you're giving me a heads-up?" Leng Tieya feigned surprise. "Could this be the Soul-Suppressing Seal of the Leng family, bestowed upon me?"

"You are a direct descendant of the Leng family!"

"What does it matter whether it's the legitimate branch of the family or not?" Leng Tieya said, "The Soul-Suppressing Seal I stole doesn't belong to the Leng family, does it?"

"That's a demonic artifact!"

"So what if it's a demonic artifact? Does that mean it belongs to the Leng family?"

“You—!” Leng Dongge glared at him angrily.

Leng Tieya said, "As the head of the family, aren't you supposed to be strict and impartial? Just because I'm your son, does that mean I have to suffer losses? Does that mean I have to make selfless contributions to the Leng family?"

"The Leng family will not mistreat any of its members who make contributions!"

"Haha..." Leng Tieya laughed loudly, his laughter unrestrained.
