Chapter 988 Discovery
Leng Dongge's handsome face was clouded with anger as he glared coldly at Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya was about to laugh a few more times when Leng Yuqing suddenly tugged at his sleeve, interrupting him.

Leng Tieya had no choice but to stop laughing and shook his head, saying, "I really couldn't help it."

"Is that so ridiculous?!" Leng Dongge scoffed. "Am I wrong to say that?"

Leng Tieya said calmly, "My elder brother is a case in point."

Leng Dongge paused.

Leng Tieya said, "I don't want to end up like my elder brother."

Leng Dongge's face was gloomy, his eyes burning like flames as he stared intently at him.

Leng Tieya met his gaze expressionlessly.

"Patriarch," Leng Yuqing sighed, "Let it go."

Leng Dongge glared at her, then looked coldly at Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya said, "The Soul-Suppressing Seal has already been sent out, and it's too late to go back on it. There's no need to say more."

Leng Dongge snorted and said, "You acted on your own initiative!"

"If I report everything, will the Leng family avenge me? Will they prevent the Lu family from breaking off the engagement?" Leng Tieya sneered.

Leng Dongge paused.

The key reason for the Lu family's broken engagement was indeed the Leng family's lack of strength.

This is not only a disgrace to Leng Tieya, but also a disgrace to the Leng family.

Fortunately, Leng Tieya intervened in time and defeated Meng Qi, thus saving face for himself and the Leng family.

Leng Tieya said, "Canghai's handwritten letter is already displayed in Canghai Hall. Leng family disciples can go and take a look, but those below the Heavenly Demon level don't need to waste their time."

Leng Dongge snorted: "Canghai's handwritten letter can really help the Heavenly Demon step into the Great Heavenly Demon realm."

"Who knows?" Leng Tieya said, "And Mr. Chi is here to help me. If I really offend him, he will leave immediately. Just that alone is enough for me to be fair to the Leng family, right?"

"Not bad," Leng Dongge snorted.

Adding a Great Heavenly Demon to the Leng family has indeed greatly increased their strength.

Having one Great Demon King in charge is completely different from having two Great Demon Kings in charge.

Leng Tieya said, "I am about to head to the Great Heavenly Demon Palace. Does the patriarch have any further instructions?"

Hearing his sarcastic tone, Leng Dongge snorted and said, "I know you're complaining that I didn't pass the position of family head to you."

Leng Tieya said bluntly, "Why can't you pass it on to me?"

He was completely open and honest in front of Leng Dongge, and his desire to be the head of the family was simply his desire to be the head of the family.

Every member of the Leng family wants to be the head of the family; it would be strange if they didn't.

Leng Dongge said in a deep voice, "Do you think being the head of the family is an easy job?"

"Is it some kind of arduous task?" Leng Tieya frowned. "Is it so overwhelming that you can't breathe? Is that why you're so eager to hand over the position of head of the family?"

Leng Dongge shook his head: "It seems you think I'm trying to harm you."

Leng Tieya said, "If I don't become the head of the family, then should my second brother? And how could Father bear to harm my second brother?"

Leng Dongge said, "Neither of you will be the head of the family."

Leng Tieya frowned and asked, "Then who should we send it to?"

He believed Leng Dongge was biased, but he didn't believe Leng Dongge would harm him.

He was curious about just how much trouble it would cause for the position of head of the family to be passed on to outsiders rather than to the two of them.

"Let's see what they're capable of, and see if they can compete for the position of family head based on their abilities."

"They will find out something."

"Let those who are willing take the bait. Even if they know the truth, they won't give up and will still fight for this position."

Leng Tieya said, "I have rendered great service to the family, so I should be rewarded, right?"

"what do you want?"

“…I don’t know.” Leng Tieya sighed. “I really don’t know what else my family can give me.”

Leng Dongge snorted, "You underestimate the Leng family!"

Leng Tieya said, "Then tell me, what can you give me, a Great Heavenly Demon, so that I can broaden my horizons?"

Leng Dongge hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll be right back. Wait for me."

He got up and left.

Once his figure disappeared, Leng Yuqing glared fiercely at Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "Big sister, did I say something wrong?"

"Why are you mentioning my older brother!" Leng Yuqing said irritably.

Leng Tieya said, "He won't let it go unless we mention our elder brother." "You shouldn't have mentioned our elder brother!" Leng Yuqing snorted, "You've broken a taboo!"

Leng Tieya smiled; he didn't think mentioning his elder brother, Leng Baichuan, was taboo.

Leng Yuqing asked, "You really aren't going to compete for the position of family head anymore?"

"We'll see," Leng Tieya said. "It seems the position of family head isn't so wonderful. I'm afraid I won't be able to refuse it even if I want to in the future."

If he can become the number one in the Leng family in the future, then the position of family head will be beyond question.

At that point, the head of the family will have no choice but to pass on the position.

He felt that with his own qualifications, plus the help of the main body and Chu Liezhao, it wouldn't be difficult to do it.

Leng Yuqing and he speculated about what trouble might be brewing regarding the position of family head. Just then, Leng Dongge returned.

He was holding a small red box in his hand.

The small, purplish-red box, about the size of a ring, was entirely a deep purple.

He placed it on the stone table, opened it, and inside was a round bead.

The bead was jet black, with a few strands of gold thread weaving through it at an extremely fast speed.

Upon seeing the black bead, Leng Tieya's expression darkened slightly, and he frowned, asking, "What is this?"

He instantly felt a sense of familiarity.

It was both cold and scorching, an extremely strange aura.

A warning bell rang in his mind, urging him to stay away from the black bead.

“This looks like a beast core,” Leng Dongge said. “I don’t know which kind of demon beast’s beast core it is, but I obtained it through a fortuitous encounter ten years ago.”

Leng Tieya took a deep breath and slowly closed the box: "Where was this found?"

"You don't like it?" Leng Dongge said, "Then I'll change it to something else... There are quite a few such rare items in the manor; this is the foundation of a great family!"

"Foundation? Does it contain any supreme demonic artifacts?" Leng Tieya scoffed. "Where was this beast core discovered?"

“…At Danyang Peak.” Leng Dongge snorted, “We’ve searched the entire area, but there’s no trace of this demonic beast. After all, who knows how many years have passed.”

The Leng family indeed lacked items belonging to the Supreme Heavenly Demon, which put them at a disadvantage compared to the Meng family. They had nothing to say after being rebuffed by this kid.

Leng Tieya pondered.

He searched his memory for the name Danyang Peak and quickly found it.

It's more than a thousand miles away from Zhongyun City, a distance that's neither too close nor too far.

Seeing Leng Tieya's expression, Leng Dongge asked curiously, "What is its use?"

Meng Shi had failed to appreciate the beauty of Canghai's handwriting for so many years, but he discovered it.

This black bead had been gathering dust in the corner of his study. Could it be that he finally discovered its wonders?
Leng Tieya shook his head: "Was there anything else discovered at Danyang Peak?"

"only this."

"That's good." Leng Tieya breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll take this bead with me; it can't be left here."

"What's wrong with it?" Leng Dongge frowned. "Speak up!"

He noticed that Leng Tieya showed no joy, but rather seemed to be on high alert, so he guessed that this was not the good thing he had expected.

Leng Tieya shook his head and said, "It's really hard to say. I'll go to the Great Demon Palace and ask...who else in the palace has come into contact with this pearl?"

"After I got it, I didn't find out what was so special about it, so I put it in a corner and nobody touched it."

"That's good." Leng Tieya said slowly, "Patriarch, you really are lucky to be alive."

"Is it dangerous?"

“Extremely dangerous, it’s best to stay away.” Leng Tieya’s face darkened.

He thought of those evil sects in Xiaotianwaitian, and all the innocent people who died at their hands.

Leng Yuqing said, "Little brother, take that quickly and go to the Great Demon Palace to see what's going on."

Leng Dongge looked at Leng Tieya with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Leng Tieya was too lazy to say more, so he stood up and said, "I will then set off for the Great Heavenly Demon Palace."

"Come back and visit more often," Leng Yuqing said. "Don't just disappear like an arrow shot down!"

Leng Tieya nodded.

He felt a sense of unease when he thought of the black bead.

The heretical sect master, an extraterrestrial demon.

He would never forget the Venerable Ones he had personally fought when he was in the Lesser Heavenly Realm.

I always thought they weren't in the outer heavens, but in another world.

But now their presence has been detected.

Could there be an evil lord in this world?
