The First Marquis of Daxuan

call!
Su Mu descended from the sky in a disheveled state, his face still showing lingering fear.

"Individual strength is indeed insignificant in the face of divine might."

Su Mu sighed inwardly, "Even with my current cultivation level, I almost perished in there."

Recalling what had just happened, Su Mu felt a lingering fear.

He reacted quickly; as soon as he saw the tornado forming, he immediately began to flee.

In the end, I still got caught up in it.

The tornado was so powerful that it nearly destroyed everything.

Moreover, the tornado contains a mixture of various energies, but no spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If a martial artist is trapped in it, it is as if they have been trapped in a dead end.

Even with his strength, it was a great struggle for him to escape.

I wonder how Zheng Deshan is doing now.

"If the means of survival left to him by the Martial Ancestor were insufficient, then he would probably be doomed."

Su Mu thought to himself.

Although Zheng Deshan is also a Heavenly Profound Realm expert, he follows the True Essence lineage and does not have a physical body as strong as Su Mu's. It would probably not be easy for him to escape from that world-destroying tornado.

"I don't know if this tornado was formed naturally or was the result of the battle between the Seventy-Two Thieves and the Celestial Venerable back then."

Su Mu calmed his breathing and thought to himself, "Zheng Deshan said that a peerless demon was suppressed under the Taixu Stele. This is something that even Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Gou Ye did not know."

However, Zheng Deshan seemed to have no reason to lie.

Although Gou Ye is a descendant of the Celestial Venerable, the Gou family has been in decline for many years, and Gou Ye's current status in the Taixu Sacred Realm is not high, so it is not surprising that he does not know this matter.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, was in the same situation; his status was even lower than that of Gou Ye.

"It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't. If what Zheng Deshan said is true, then the Taixu Stele cannot be moved easily."

Su Mu continued to think, "In that case, if my brothers from the three states of Lingnan want to obtain opportunities, they can only come to this desolate wilderness."

But the depths of the wilderness are fraught with danger. Even I would have had a hard time escaping that tornado, let alone my brothers.

It's simply unrealistic to send them here for trials.

It seems I have no choice but to abandon the Taixu Stele for now and retrieve it when I am confident in dealing with that peerless demon.

With a somewhat regretful sigh, Su Mu finally had the mind to observe his surroundings.

In his haste to escape the tornado, he had no time to determine his direction.

He himself doesn't even know where he is now.

"Hmm? What is this place?"

Su Mu looked around, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

On that day, he led Dongfang Liuyun, Gou Ye, and the Demon Lord westward, venturing deep into the wilderness for tens of thousands of miles.

Although he was swept away by the tornado for an unknown distance, it probably wasn't more than ten thousand miles.

Logically speaking, he should still be in the wilderness right now.

But the scene before them was completely different from the wilderness.

The name "Wild Wilderness" itself suggests that it is a barren and desolate place, with towering Gobi Deserts and endless yellow sand.

On the desolate continent, there is a suffocating, foul atmosphere everywhere.

But now, the scene before Su Mu was one of beautiful mountains and clear waters.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this a paradise on earth.

Of all the scenery Su Mu had ever seen in his life, there were few that could compare to what was right before his eyes.

Looking around, this must be a deep valley, surrounded by towering cliffs covered with wildflowers, and in the distance, waterfalls cascade down.

The lush green grass stretched out before us, merging with a grove of trees.

Su Mu took a deep breath; the air was fresh, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so rich that it almost materialized.

The last time Su Mu felt such a concentration of spiritual energy was on Zhangjia Island in the South China Sea.

Zhangjia Island is named because of a remnant spiritual vein; here—

Su Mu's heart stirred slightly. Could there be a spiritual vein here as well?
A glint flashed in his eyes, and he was about to use his Fiery Eyes to see what was going on here.

That's when.

suddenly.

Footsteps sounded.

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly became more vigilant.

He turned around and saw a boy of about thirteen or fourteen standing not far away, staring straight at him.

The moment Su Mu saw the other person, he was immediately drawn to their pair of snake-like eyes.

"Big demon!"

In an instant, Su Mu understood the other party's identity.

For Su Mu, who came from the Taiping Division, identifying demons was a basic skill. Moreover, the other party's snake eyes were almost naked and undisguised.

"I haven't seen anyone in so many years."

The great demon licked his lips, grinned, and said, "I've almost forgotten what a human tastes like."

The pair of snake eyes kept expanding and contracting, sometimes appearing as triangles and sometimes as circles, which looked very eerie.

Su Mu felt a surge of alarm; the moment the great demon looked at him, he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

At the same time, his pupils began to change, turning golden yellow in an instant.

Amazing skill, sharp eyes!
With his Fiery Eyes activated, Su Mu felt an extremely dense demonic aura surge into the sky before him.

All the demons he had ever seen in his life combined did not possess a demonic aura as strong as the great demon before him.

Instinctively, Su Mu took a step back.

As Su Mu instinctively stepped back, the great demon also took a step back.

It stared intently into Su Mu's eyes, its face showing a wary expression.

"Fiery eyes! You are the successor of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill?!"

It couldn't help but speak up.

Su Mu's heart stirred slightly, but his face remained expressionless.

"Good eyesight."

Su Mu spoke slowly, his voice as calm as still water.

"Since you have such keen insight, why do you dare to be so insolent in front of me?"

Although the origins of this powerful demon are unknown, it is clear that the opponent is somewhat wary of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique.

Su Mu was experienced and knew what to do in an instant.

Since the other party is afraid of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, he naturally has to use his position to intimidate them.

"Humph!"

The great demon's eyes held deep apprehension, but he coldly snorted, "If he had come in person, I might have given him some leeway, but you are merely a junior."

Although the great demon said this, Su Mu still keenly sensed the fear in its words.

Su Mu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He had seen many people who were wary of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, and these people were all powerful figures who were renowned in their respective regions.

What exactly did that senior among the Seventy-Two Thieves who cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique do to make so many powerful figures so wary of it?

Now, a powerful and unfathomable demon has shown such a wary expression simply because he discovered that the Demon has cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques.

Su Mu's Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques were only at the minor level, and there was still a considerable distance to go before reaching the major level.

However, it is clear that this great demon is unaware of this.

The opponent's strength is unfathomable. Taking action before figuring out their true strength is clearly a bad strategy.

Thoughts raced through Su Mu's mind.

"Junior? Who do you think you are, daring to treat me as a junior?"

Su Mu spoke coldly.

"Boy, you are looking for death!"

The great serpent's eyes turned triangular, and it spoke with murderous intent.

Seeing the murderous aura emanating from the great demon, Su Mu felt a sense of relief.

The fact that the other party is clearly very angry but dares not make a move means that they are indeed afraid.

Since the other party didn't dare to make a move, Su Mu felt relieved.

He flicked his sleeves, slowly straightened his clothes, and took out a chair from his storage space.

After casually sitting down, Su Mu finally looked at the other person.

"I'm right here. Do you dare kill me? Can you even kill me?"

Su Mu said calmly, looking directly at the other person without showing the slightest fear.

The great demon's aura solidified, and a hint of shame and annoyance flashed deep in his eyes.

It squinted at Su Mu, its expression hesitant.

"If you don't have the guts, then don't put on a life-or-death stance."

Su Mu said calmly, "Why don't we sit down and have a chat?"

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu raised his hand and a table appeared in front of him.

He raised his hand again, and a tea set appeared on the table.

Su Mu picked up a leaf and gently placed it into the teapot.

In an instant, the aroma of tea filled the air, and the rising steam transformed into all sorts of wondrous sights.

"Enlightenment Tea?!"

The great demon's pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints, and he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Its gaze toward Su Mu had changed from apprehension to fear.

It had initially harbored some doubts about Su Mu's identity.

But Su Mu not only developed a keen eye for detail, he also casually took out Enlightenment Tea!

Neither of these can be faked.

Most importantly, these two things shouldn't exist in the same person, in principle.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill and the Enlightenment Tea represent two people.

Does this young man in front of me represent both of those people?
"Sit down and have some tea."

Su Mu poured two cups of tea, placing one in front of himself and the other opposite him.

His movements appeared nonchalant, and his expression was understated, but only he knew that his heart was bleeding.

This is the Enlightenment Tea.

Enlightenment Tea: Every single piece you use reduces the remaining supply!
The price of showing off is too high.

Only in this way can we completely intimidate this great demon on the other side.

The other party seemed unfathomable, and I might not be their match if we were to fight.

Moreover, he still didn't know where this place was.

This is the only method we can use now, to intimidate the other side so they dare not make a move.

"You're letting me drink this tea?"

The great demon's face showed surprise, and he said in a deep voice.

Its voice trembled slightly.

"Otherwise what? Is there perhaps a third person here?"

Su Mu suppressed his heartache and said calmly, "If you don't like it, I won't force you."

Snort!

Before Su Mu could finish speaking, the great demon had already pounced forward and poured the cup of Enlightenment Tea into its mouth.

After drinking the tea, the great demon's face showed an expression of intoxication.

It disregarded Su Mu's presence, sat cross-legged, and instantly unleashed a terrifying aura.

Su Mu looked at the other person, a look of shock appearing on his face.

Previously, even with his Fiery Eyes of Truth, Su Mu could see that the other party possessed overwhelming demonic energy.

But at this moment, the opponent released his aura without reservation, and Su Mu realized just how strong the opponent was.

"This aura could never belong to an eighth-tier demon; it's a ninth-tier demon!"

Su Mu felt a chill run down his spine.

A ninth-tier demon is equivalent to a Heavenly Fate Realm expert.

This was the first living expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm that Su Mu had ever met.

Su Mu secretly rejoiced that he was fortunate enough to be cautious enough not to attack the great demon right away.

Otherwise, he would probably already be their prey.

No matter how confident Su Mu was, he didn't think he could defeat a ninth-tier demon.

"Enlightenment Tea can actually help even a ninth-tier demon. Could I have inadvertently helped it increase its strength?"

Su Mu thought to himself.

But then he thought about it again, and it seemed that whether the strength of this ninth-order great demon improved or not didn't make any difference, since he couldn't beat it anyway.

The Enlightenment Tea has already been brewed, so it shouldn't be wasted.

Su Mu picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he closed his eyes and began to comprehend the vital energy of the Great Dao.

The scene suddenly became a bit strange.

A powerful demon, and a commander of the Taiping Division whose profession is to slay demons and eliminate evil.

The two of them sat facing each other, no more than ten feet apart, and each entered a state of cultivation.

In fact, if either side were to harbor malicious intent, they could seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the other.

If you are interrupted while trying to comprehend the energy of heaven and earth, you will at best gain nothing, and at worst suffer a backlash from the energy, resulting in serious injury.

But both sides seemed to completely trust each other.

That great demon possessed ample confidence.

For Su Mu, whether he was on guard or not was meaningless. With the strength of the ninth-tier great demon, if the other party really wanted to attack him, no matter how much he guarded, it would be useless.

Instead, it's better to be open and honest; otherwise, the other party might think you have nothing to fear.

I don't know how much time passed like that.

The great demon was the first to open its eyes, a look of surprise flashing across its face.

"It really is Enlightenment Tea! I never imagined I would have such an opportunity."

The great demon was overjoyed.

It subconsciously looked up at Su Mu.

Su Mu's eyes were slightly closed, and his aura fluctuated.

"So young, yet already at the peak of the Heavenly Profound Realm, no wonder—"

It could tell that Su Mu didn't just look young; he was actually quite young.

At several decades old, compared to the cultivation level of the Heavenly Profound Realm, he was practically no different from an infant.

Before this, the youngest Heavenly Profound Realm cultivator it had ever seen was over a hundred years old.

"Such a genius, what is he doing here? Could it be—"

The great demon's face gradually darkened. "Trying to bribe me with a cup of Enlightenment Tea is wishful thinking!"
With my status, how could I possibly become a demon pet for a human junior?

However, out of consideration for the Enlightenment Tea, I can overlook your offense and spare your life.

It was confident in its cultivation and did not want to bully Su Mu, a junior, so it did not disturb Su Mu's comprehension of the energy of heaven and earth. Instead, it quietly waited for Su Mu to wake up.

…………

This wasn't the first time Su Mu had drunk Wudao Tea.

With the help of the Enlightenment Tea last time, he comprehended the Law of Creation of Heaven and Earth.

After drinking the Enlightenment Tea, Su Mu focused all his energy on the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique.

From the reaction of this great demon and the reactions of many powerful figures in the past, Su Mu had already realized that the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique was extraordinary.

He broke through to the Heavenly Profound Realm using the Nine Tribulations Suppressing Prison Scripture, but his Eight-Nine Profound Technique remained at the minor completion stage. Previously, Su Mu had been preoccupied with various matters, and even when he finally accumulated some points, he used them to improve his other skills.

This encounter with the powerful demon made Su Mu realize that strength is the most fundamental thing.

Without strength, no matter how high his Qiankun Creation Technique is improved, he will be helpless when encountering a powerful enemy.

Having been swept to this strange place by a tornado, they encountered an unfathomable demon.

Left with no other choice, he had to resort to this low-class trick to fool the other party.

When he was weak, he had no choice but to resort to all sorts of schemes and tricks to fight his enemies.

He's already at the Heavenly Profound Realm, yet he still has to scheme like this.

Ultimately, it comes down to his lack of strength.

If his Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques are now at their peak, then even if he encounters a Celestial Venerable, he can still deliver two punches.

If he had that kind of strength, would he need to be afraid of this great demon?
A single punch can shatter the opponent into pieces.

Of course, achieving the perfection of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique is still a long way off, but mastering it is something worth striving for.

Having mastered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, his physical strength reached the Heavenly Profound Realm. Although he still couldn't compare to a Heavenly Fate Realm expert, he at least had a better chance of struggling.

Therefore, after drinking the Enlightenment Tea, Su Mu began to comprehend the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique.

Immersed in his insights, Su Mu lost track of time before a thought crossed his mind, and he summoned his system panel.

On the system panel, the number of points required to master the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique has been reduced to 500 million.

And the points Su Mu has accumulated so far—

Points: 510 million

Su Mu was overjoyed.

Enlightenment Tea alone is not enough to elevate his Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill to the Great Perfection level.

However, if you add the system panel, that will be enough.

All those points he painstakingly accumulated over so long were for this moment, weren't they?

and so--

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mu clicked on the system panel as soon as the thought crossed his mind.

As the 500 million points on the system panel disappeared, a surge of power flowed into Su Mu's body out of thin air, instantly filling his entire body.

An indescribable amount of information was simultaneously injected into his mind, instantly causing his consciousness to churn.

Su Mu felt as if his whole body was about to explode. In his mind, he seemed to be practicing the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique over and over again.

Sometimes it's under the scorching sun, and sometimes it's in the dead of winter.

Beneath a towering waterfall, in the depths of the ocean abyss, tens of thousands of feet above the ground—

In any harsh environment, you could always find him practicing shirtless.

After cultivating in this way for countless years, his body finally became so powerful that it broke through the limits.

…………

The great demon with serpentine eyes was sitting there, dozing off listlessly.

Suddenly, it abruptly raised its head, its eyes looking at Su Mu, a sharp glint flashing in its pupils.

boom!
An invisible aura emanated from Su Mu and rapidly spread outwards, creating visible ripples.

Su Mu's body collided at a speed visible to the naked eye several times faster than normal, and then returned to its original state.

This was repeated time and time again.

His muscles flowed like water.

Black gas rose from his pores, and his entire body began to radiate a dazzling golden light.

The snake-eyed demon's pupils turned into triangles, with light flashing within them.

Within its field of vision, Su Mu's body seemed to become transparent.

It was a delicate and exquisite feeling.

"The Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, now fully mastered?"

The great demon with serpent eyes was shocked. "At the age of only a few decades, he has already cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique to the great perfection."

This is the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, the most difficult to cultivate in all the heavens.

Even for a peerless genius, it would take at least a hundred years of arduous cultivation to master the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique.

How on earth did he do it?
What incredible talent!

Even with its vast experience and knowledge, it was astonished by this talent.

While it's rare for someone to reach the Heavenly Profound Realm before the age of one hundred, it's not entirely unacceptable.

However, the cultivation method practiced by this Heavenly Profound Realm cultivator is the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, which is known as the most difficult to cultivate, and its value is completely different.

"Sorry to have had a slight realization. I've kept you waiting."

Su Mu opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the snake-eyed demon, and slowly spoke.

The great serpent-eyed demon felt a chill run down its spine when Su Mu looked at it.

Who was the last person to give it this feeling?
That guy later became a Celestial Venerable, I think.

"Time means nothing to me; I am not like you short-lived humans."

The great demon with serpent eyes chuckled coldly and said.

Compared to humans, demons obviously have a much longer lifespan.

Even with the same level of cultivation, a human's lifespan cannot compare to that of a demon.

"Kid, just tell me straight, why did they send you here?"

The great demon with serpent eyes said in a deep voice.

"them?"

Su Mu's heart stirred, and in a flash, he understood the meaning of the Serpent-Eyed Demon.

Clearly, the Serpent-Eyed Demon had misunderstood.

It thought that Su Mu's appearance here was at someone's behest, but it never expected that Su Mu's appearance here was a complete accident.

As for who the Serpent-Eyed Demon was referring to, Su Mu had some guesses in his mind.

He was probably the strongest among the Seventy-Two Thieves who had cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique.

Su Mu still doesn't know the other party's name, only that the other party once fought against the Heavenly Venerable and was able to escape unscathed.

Among the Seventy-Two Thieves, that one is probably the strongest in combat.

A powerful figure with the cultivation level of the Heavenly Fate Realm who could fight against a Heavenly Venerable.

Also, there's Senior Uncle Li, who can refine the Enlightenment Tea.

Several people who came from the Taixu Sacred Realm had this misunderstanding before.

In fact, Su Mu's martial arts skills and the treasures he possesses can easily lead to misunderstandings.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill is a legacy of the Seventy-Two Thieves, and the Enlightenment Tea is also unique to the Seventy-Two Thieves.

All of this combined makes it hard not to mistakenly believe that he is a successor of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Many times, even Su Mu himself was a little confused.

Is he really a successor to the Seventy-Two Thieves?

In a way, he did indeed inherit the legacy of the Seventy-Two Thieves; in a sense, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he was the successor of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Of course, there was no need to explain these things to the great snake-eyed demon.

Why do you think I've come here?

Su Mu didn't answer but asked a question instead.

He couldn't answer.

He didn't even know the origin of this snake-eyed demon.

If he talks nonsense and the other party exposes his lies, wouldn't all his previous efforts have been wasted?

He used up a whole Enlightenment Tea to successfully fool the other party.

Barry is only half of 90.

The closer it got to this point, the more cautious Su Mu became.

He absolutely would not allow anything to go wrong at the last minute.

"Humph!"

The serpent-eyed demon didn't think much of it, snorted coldly, and said, "Go back and tell them to stop daydreaming."

I would never become anyone's demon pet!

Even the Heavenly Venerable is not worthy to make me bow down and submit!

Seeing the excited snake-eyed demon, Su Mu suddenly understood.

The other party actually thought he came here to subdue her and make her his demon pet.

This is somewhat interesting.

Having a ninth-tier demon as a pet sounds exciting.

If we could really take this snake-eyed demon as our pet, what would Emperor Yang Xiuhu be to worry about?
No matter how many trump cards Emperor Yang Xiuhu has, once the ninth-tier demon appears, Emperor Yang Xiuhu will surely be annihilated.

In the face of absolute power, no amount of scheming will work.

A ninth-tier demon is equivalent to a powerful being in the Heavenly Fate Realm, which is almost the pinnacle of martial arts.

As for the Celestial Venerable, that is an existence that has transcended the realm of martial artists, and ordinary people will never see a Celestial Venerable in their entire lives.

"Excuse my frankness, but this is a rare opportunity for you."

Su Mu looked at the great demon with snake eyes and slowly spoke.

His statement was also ambiguous.

In the ears of the Serpent-Eyed Demon, it was interpreted as him becoming Su Mu's demon pet being a rare opportunity.

The great demon with serpent eyes had a gloomy expression and let out a cold snort.

It acknowledged that the young man before it possessed extraordinary talent, and if he did not die, he might achieve remarkable things in the future.

In other words, this kid has the potential to become a Celestial Venerable!

In a sense, this kid wasn't exaggerating.

For ordinary demons, becoming the future Heavenly Venerable's pet is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But for it, it's not like that.

What kind of existence is it?

A ninth-tier great demon, among all the demons in the world, who can be stronger than it?

Its ambition is to become a tenth-tier demon!

It is a great demon aspiring to become a tenth-tier demon, so how could it become a junior's pet?

Even if this kid has a bright future, it still won't work!

There is no one in the world who is qualified to make me bow down and submit.

Even if the Heavenly Venerable were here, I would say the same thing.

"I would never, ever, become anyone's demon pet!"

The great demon with serpent eyes said firmly.

"Although I know you're exaggerating, I'll reluctantly believe you anyway."

Su Mu said slowly, "To be honest, if you really had this ability, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

Su Mu was unaware of the snake-eyed demon's situation, but he suspected it wasn't good.

This place looks like a blessed land, but the great demon with snake eyes is clearly not happy.

It may not have stayed here voluntarily, but rather was trapped here by people.

Therefore, Su Mu ambiguously provoked the other party.

Being reduced to this state can be interpreted as being trapped here, or it can be interpreted as being only a ninth-order demon and not yet breaking through to the tenth order.

As for how to interpret it specifically, that's up to the great snake-eyed demon himself.

This leaves the other party with ample room for imagination.

really.

The serpent-eyed demon's expression grew even more unpleasant.

Even though it was a powerful demon with extraordinary cultivation, it was still somewhat embarrassed and angry to have its weaknesses pointed out to its face.

If it weren't for its fear of Su Mu's identity and background, it would have swallowed him whole long ago.

This creature, which has cultivated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, has never eaten before.

This kind of thing must have a good chewy texture.

"Sharp-tongued!"

The great demon with serpent eyes said coldly, "Even if you talk until the heavens break, you will not be able to shake my will."

“If you are willing to submit, then I will look down on you.”

Su Mu said calmly, "If you don't even have this much spirit, what use is such a demonic pet to me?"

The serpent-eyed demon frowned.

This sounds like a compliment, but why does it feel so awkward?

what.

Why do you think that someone's unwillingness to become your demon pet is a sign of your respect for them?

Does someone need your respect?
The great demon with serpentine eyes let out a cold snort.

If it weren't for the person behind you, even if you had mastered the Eight or Nine Mysterious Techniques, I could still crush you with one hand!
Although Su Mu pretended to be calm, he kept secretly observing the snake-eyed demon out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that the Serpent-Eyed Demon showed no intention of making a move, Su Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the serpent-eyed demon's behavior, it seems unaware of the defeat and death of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have shown such a wary attitude.

Therefore, we cannot easily let the other party know that the Seventy-Two Thieves have been defeated and killed.

Otherwise, without restraint, who in the outer realms could be a match for this great demon with serpent eyes?

Let alone the outer realms, even if we include the Taixu Sacred Realm, without the Heavenly Venerables appearing, there probably aren't many people who could defeat this Serpent-Eyed Demon.

If the Serpent-Eyed Demon knew that Su Mu had no one backing him, it would probably be the first to kill Su Mu.

Fortunately.

It seems unlikely that this serpent-eyed demon will leave this place.

"I'll be frank with you: if you don't want to be a demon's pet, then I can't help you."

Su Mu pondered for a moment and then said, "In that case, how about we make a deal?"

"You, make a deal with me?"

The serpent-eyed demon sneered, "Do you think I'd fall for your tricks again?"

again?

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Serpent-Eyed Demon had been tricked by the Seventy-Two Thieves?
That's why it's so vigilant?
This is truly a case of the predecessors blocking the path for future generations.

"In terms of age, you are much older than me."

"In terms of cultivation, I'm only at the Heavenly Profound Realm, while you're a ninth-tier Great Demon. I'm far inferior to you."

Su Mu said seriously, "In that case, how could I possibly lie to you?"
It's not that I'm belittling myself.

If I were to lie to you, you could slap me to death. Why would I dare to lie to you?

"That's true."

The great demon with serpent eyes nodded in deep agreement.

This kid may have a promising future, but that's all he has to do with it.

In terms of current cultivation level, I am far superior to him.

How can this kid compare to those old guys from back then?

Those old foxes have all lived for over a thousand years; they're incredibly shrewd and experienced.

Besides, I've been in seclusion here for many years, and I'm much smarter than I was back then.

How could this kid possibly fool me?
"I see you have some self-awareness, so I'll give you a chance."

The great demon with serpentine eyes said arrogantly, "Tell me, what kind of deal do you want to make with me?"
If you can persuade me, what harm is there in me giving you a little something in return? (End of Chapter)
