All the demon kings raised their cups, but their gazes never left Lu Qingxuan and the other two demons.

Lu Qingxuan didn't pay much attention to this. After drinking a cup, he began to enjoy the food on the table.

Seeing that Lu Qingxuan remained so calm and composed amidst the demons, the surrounding demon kings couldn't help but look at him with new respect, and were convinced that this demon was no ordinary being.

However, this was not enough to make them forget the purpose of their trip.

After a moment, a demon king slowly stood up and looked at the three demons, Lu Qingxuan and his companion: "Fellow Daoists, you have come from afar. I have a jar of fine wine here. Please have a taste."

As he spoke, the demon king waved his hand, and a little demon came carrying a jar of wine.

Before the person even arrived, the aroma of wine permeated the entire mountain.

Despite smelling the aroma of the wine, Lu Qingxuan frowned slightly, not because he could detect a strong smell of blood in the wine.

The little demon collapsed after drinking a cup of wine, and the smell of blood grew stronger.

Upon smelling this aroma, the surrounding demon kings understood immediately and looked at Lu Qingxuan and the other two demons with amusement.

The two demons, Tiger Power and Sheep Power, also realized the secret in the wine, and their expressions immediately darkened.

"This wine is called Human Spirit Wine. It is brewed from the blood and flesh of infants less than ten days old. Just this one jar requires a hundred of them. Fellow Daoist, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?" the demon king said with a faint smile.

These words shocked everyone present.

Tiger Power Immortal's eyes widened, filled with rage. Although the black snake demon also ate people, it seemed child's play compared to this demon.

One jar of wine requires the flesh and blood of a hundred infants, which shows how many infants died at the hands of this demon.

The Great Immortal Yang Li also had a livid face, and his whisk was clenched so tightly that it made a cracking sound.

Unlike the two demons, Tiger Power and Sheep Power, the other demon kings had obviously heard of this wine and looked on with longing.

However, they did not ask for it, but instead watched Lu Qingxuan with expressions of anticipation.

They wanted to know whether Lu Qingxuan would drink the wine or not.

Under the gaze of the demons, Lu Qingxuan remained unmoved, glancing at the wine cup before calmly looking at the speaker.

The demon king looked like a jackal, with a pointed snout and monkey-like cheeks, covered in gray fur, and his eyes gleamed with an oily green light. He was none other than the jackal king of the Jackal Cave.

"May I ask how to address this fellow Daoist?" Lu Qingxuan asked.

The demon king proudly declared, "I am the Great King of the Jackal Cave."

Lu Qingxuan nodded and said, "King Jackal, did you use the flesh and blood of a hundred infants to make this jar of Human Spirit Wine?"

The Jackal King grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Not bad, this wine is quite good. You can't usually get to drink it even if you want to. Today, you three fellow Daoists have come from afar as guests, so I specially brought it to entertain you. Isn't that sincere enough?"

The surrounding demon kings let out a low chuckle, their eyes full of mockery.

Lu Qingxuan nodded, his gaze fixed on the jar of wine. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Where did those infants come from?"

The Jackal King was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Naturally, they came from the village down the mountain. Those mortals have so many offspring all year round, what difference does it make if a few are missing?"

Tiger Power Immortal could no longer contain himself. He stood up abruptly, drew his steel sword three inches from its sheath, and roared, "Bullshit! You bastard, you think you're in the right to take lives?!"

The Jackal King's expression changed, and he stood up, sneering, "What? I kindly offered you good wine, and you don't appreciate it? What? You want to draw your knife? Do you really think this is your Zhongnan Mountain?"

Tiger Power Immortal was about to make a move when Lu Qingxuan stopped him.

"Brother, please calm down," Lu Qingxuan said.

Tiger Power Immortal gritted his teeth, sat back down angrily, his tiger eyes fixed on Jackal King, wishing he could devour him alive.

Seeing Tiger Power Immortal sit down, Jackal King curled his lip as if he felt sorry.

As long as Tiger Power Immortal makes a move, they will have a reason to capture Lu Qingxuan and the other two. At that time, they will have as much incense and prayer power as they want.

Noticing the expressions on the faces of the demon kings, Lu Qingxuan sneered, stood up abruptly, and said, "You all have arranged this Hundred Demon Banquet today, ostensibly to entertain guests, but you all know the real reason behind it..."

He paused, his gaze falling on the Jackal King, his voice gradually turning cold.

"However, you are underestimating us three brothers by using this evil wine that is condemned by both gods and men."

The Jackal King sneered, "What? You're afraid to drink?"

Lu Qingxuan ignored him and turned to King Black Cloud, saying, "King Black Cloud, as the host, have you tasted the wine at this banquet today?"

King Black Cloud's face stiffened, and he said awkwardly, "This...this was brought by Brother Jackal. I naturally didn't have time to taste it."

Lu Qingxuan nodded, then looked at the Jackal King again and said calmly, "Jackal King, I will not drink your wine today, not because I dare not, but because I disdain it."

"To brew wine with the blood and flesh of infants is an outrageous and immoral act. If you can harm other people's children today, you can harm other people's parents tomorrow. How are you any different from a beast?"

The Jackal King flew into a rage, kicking over the table in front of him and shouting, "Lu Qingxuan! I treated you with the best wine because I respected you as a guest, and not only do you not appreciate it, but you dare to insult me? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen lesser demons behind him drew their weapons in unison, eyeing him menacingly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Tiger Power Immortal and Sheep Power Immortal also stood up, one gripping a steel knife tightly, the other raising a whisk, confronting the lesser demons.

The other demon kings all wore mocking expressions and showed no intention of offering any advice.

Lu Qingxuan remained unmoved, simply watching the jackal king with a gaze as calm as a stagnant pool.

"Are you sure you want to do it?" Lu Qingxuan asked.

The Jackal King sneered, "What? Scared?"

Lu Qingxuan looked at King Black Cloud: "Is this also the King's intention?"

King Black Cloud frowned but remained silent.

Lu Qingxuan's earlier words also displeased him. They were all demon cultivators, so what if they ate a few people?

Seeing this, Lu Qingxuan didn't ask any further questions. He cupped his hands to King Black Cloud and said, "In that case, King Black Cloud, my two brothers and I will not eat at this banquet today. Farewell!"

After saying that, he walked down the mountain with the two demons, Huli and Yangli.

"Stop!" A sharp shout came from behind.

Lu Qingxuan kept walking, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"I told you to stop right there!" The Jackal King's voice was even more furious, and he flashed forward to block the three demons.

Behind him, a dozen or so lesser demons completely blocked the path down the mountain, their faces showing hostility.

"Is there anything else?" Lu Qingxuan asked calmly.

The Jackal King sneered, slamming his demon-headed broadsword into the ground, shattering the rocks. He roared, "You've humiliated me in front of so many of my fellow cultivators today, and you think you can just walk away like this?"

Lu Qingxuan: "Then what do you want?"

The Jackal King grinned, sneering, "Simple. Either you kneel down and apologize to me, and give me half of the Three Immortals Shrine, or..."

He brandished the demon-headed broadsword in his hand, "I'll let you taste the flavor of this blade!"
