The Flesh Demon Lord bared his teeth, blood dripping between them. "What exactly are you trying to say? If itâs all nonsense, donât delay my lesson for this kid! Otherwise, he might really think he has a bit of skill."
Jiang Sha raised his left hand, and his index finger brushed over the back of Fan Wubingâs hand.
Fan Wubing was surprised to find that without his permission, she could draw out a strand of Qi, and it was Demonic Qi cultivated from the âBlood Calamity Immortal Skillâ!
Jiang Sha directed Fan Wubingâs Demonic Qi into the center of the hall. "Ladies and gentlemen, why donât you have a good sense of this."
The demons all sensed this strand of Demonic Qi, everyone except for the Greedy Demon Lord who continued reading his book.
Then they were all shocked by the purity of this Demonic Qi, as if... as if it was the Qi of the Celestial Demon that acknowledged them as Demon Lords!
The Beast Demon Lordâs cat eyes narrowed into a slit. "How is this possible! Even my Demonic Qi isnât this pure!"
The Rot Demon Lord swallowed, "Indeed, such pure Demonic Qi!"
The Charm Demon Lordâs voice was soft and sweet. "So pure I almost want it to be tainted by some clean Qi."
Jiang Sha said leisurely, "Now you believe he is qualified to participate in the Demon Lordâs meeting, donât you?"
The Flesh Demon Lord widened his eyes. "Impossible! How could such pure Demonic Qi exist in the world? Jiang Sha, it must be another one of your deceptions!" He exploded a mass of blood Qi, obliterating everything around him. "Where? What did you secretly modify this time?"
Fan Wubing watched his reaction and thought, it seems even fellow Demon Lords are quite afraid of Jiang Shaâs mysterious abilities.
The Rot Demon Lord looked at the Flesh Demon Lord disdainfully and mocked, "Brain-dead fool. Still havenât figured it out yet?"
"Fuck your mother, tell me then, whatâs going on?" The Flesh Demon Lord stared intently at the flowers growing out from the Rot Demon Lordâs eyes.
The flowers on the Rot Demon Lordâs body shivered and quivered. "He is the legendary Blood Demon Lord, you know!"
The Flesh Demon Lord suddenly paused, then blushed furiously and shouted, "Bullshit! His Path of the Demon Lord hasnât even started, what makes him the Blood Demon Lord!" He was extremely distrustful of Jiang Sha, his round eyes trembling, "Jiang Sha, this is definitely one of your tricks! Youâre a complete madman! Deceiving, scheming, mocking! You even spare no one in Slaughter Hall!"
Jiang Sha understood that deep down, the Flesh Demon Lord was inherently distrustful of her. Any evidence she tried to prove Fan Wubingâs qualification to attend the Demon Lordâs meeting would be seen as deceit and mockery by him.
However, allowing him to continue like this would make it impossible for the Demon Lordâs meeting to proceed smoothly.
Jiang Sha asked, "Then, what will it take for you to acknowledge it?"
The Flesh Demon Lord sneered, "Blood Demon Lord? Pfft! Is he worthy? Jiang Sha, are your legs crippled, and your brain not working? The Path of the Blood Demon Lord has never been walked by anyone to this day. Where did you pick up some bastard to pretend to be the Blood Demon Lord? Or is he your bastard child with some wild man?"
This remark displeased the Anger Demon Lord. "Flesh Demon Lord, youâve gone too far with your words."
The Flesh Demon Lord glared at her dismissively. "Get lost, little girl. You donât even realize your own status as the disgrace of the Demon Lords."
"You!" Of course, the Anger Demon Lord wasnât actually a little girl. Even though she was the youngest among them, she was still a thousand years old. But her disposition was indeed soft, and she teared up after being yelled at.
Jiang Sha smiled and said to her, "Itâs okay. If there must be a disgrace among the Demon Lords, it definitely wouldnât be you."
It was clear the Anger Demon Lord admired Jiang Sha greatly, and she immediately felt better, smiling.
Fan Wubing quickly used Divine Soul Communication with Jiang Sha, "Whatâs going on? You didnât say anything about making me the Blood Demon Lord before we came!"
But Jiang Sha did not use Divine Soul Communication and spoke directly to everyone: "Itâs not about making you the Blood Demon Lord; rather, you are already the Blood Demon Lord."
Fan Wubing was a bit bewildered and still used Divine Soul Communication, "Isnât becoming a Demon Lord supposed to require walking some Path of the Demon Lord? I donât recall taking any such path."
Jiang Sha chuckled, "No worries, you can just walk it now." This was also meant for the Flesh Demon Lord.
The Flesh Demon Lord said coldly, "Jiang Sha, you have such gall, saying just walk and youâll walk?"
"Itâs not up to me, but the Celestial Demon," Jiang Sha glanced at him, then raised her left hand and made a drawing motion with her index finger in the air.
A line of blood appeared out of nowhere, from which a supreme will poured forth, accompanied by extremely pure Demonic Qi.
The Greedy Demon Lord noticed this, put down his book, and with a smile said to Jiang Sha:
"Slaughter Demon Lord, communicating with the Celestial Demon without reason can blow back on you, you know."
"Itâs not without reason," Jiang Sha then looked at Fan Wubing, "How about taking a walk?"
Fan Wubing was displeased with Jiang Shaâs last-minute addition of this role to him, "You didnât say anything about doing this kind of thing before we came."
"Would you go for a walk then, please?" Jiang Shaâs tone took on a hint of pleading.
This stunned everyone watching.
They couldnât believe that the Slaughter Demon Lord, who could overturn an entire Imperial Dynasty with a wave of her hand and destroy an Immortal-grade cultivatorâs sect, would speak in such a tone, and that the other party was somewhat dissatisfied.
Unbelievable!
The Anger Demon Lord was undoubtedly the most affected. She had always respected and admired the Slaughter Demon Lord, seeing her as a role model. But a role model actually pleading with someone? She cautiously watched Fan Wubing, like she was staring at an enemy.
The Rot Demon Lordâs eyes widened, "Did I hear that right? Slaughter Demon Lord, are you pleading with him? Isnât he your personal servant?"
Jiang Sha responded with a faint smile, "I asked him to stay and care for me."
As soon as these words came out, the reactions from the other demons became even more intense.
The Anger Demon Lordâs hostility grew even stronger,
The Charm Demon Lordâs gaze grew hotter, almost dripping, silently promoting Fan Wubing to the second spot in this yearâs "People to Enchant First,"
The Flesh Demon Lord spat in disdain, "Ugh! Jiang Sha, arenât you ashamed!"
The Beast Demon Lord was curiously watching Fan Wubing.
But only Fan Wubing knew that Jiang Sha had said that deliberately to put pressure on him. She enjoyed doing such things, manipulating others with her every word and deed. Yet somehow, Fan Wubing couldnât bring himself to dislike her. In fact, staying by her side felt relaxing and natural. He didnât know if this feeling was something Jiang Sha had deliberately cultivated or if it came from the heart.
Fan Wubing glared at Jiang Sha, "If you donât discuss things with me beforehand next time, Iâll..."
"Youâll do what?" Jiang Sha was curious about how he would threaten her.
Fan Wubing realized he didnât have much leverage besides threatening to leave her. But in truth, Fan Wubing was quite tempted by her promise to teach him that wondrous skill that kills invisibly in twenty years.
A threat to run away certainly wouldnât work.
Fan Wubing thought for a moment. Jiang Sha seemed to love cleanliness, showering before bed and upon waking every day.
He then tilted his head up and loudly declared, "Then I wonât help you take your bedtime bath anymore!"
Jiang Sha was momentarily stunned.
The other demons were also stunned.
Then, Fan Wubing felt a strong killing intent. He turned his head and found, to his horror, the usually gentle Anger Demon Lord was staring at him with the look of someone ready to grind his bones into dust.
Damn! This girl is extreme!
No, sheâs a Demon Cultivator, so isnât being extreme pretty normal?
Truth be told, this threat did somewhat catch Jiang Sha off guard. Jiang Sha showed an uncharacteristically troubled expression, hesitated for a while, and conceded:
"Alright."
She had compromised, but the Anger Demon Lordâs desire to eliminate Fan Wubing intensified.
Conversely, the Charm Demon Lord wanted even more to seduce him into a life of wanton debauchery.
Fan Wubing couldnât stand these Demon Cultivators; there wasnât a normal one among them.
Of course, a normal person couldnât become a Demon Lord anyway.
Fan Wubing glanced at the Flesh Demon Lord, then plunged headfirst into that blood thread, stepping onto the Path of the Blood Demon Lord.
The Flesh Demon Lord laughed wildly, "Did you see that foolâs eyes when he looked at me? He wants to kill me!" He bared his teeth and said, "So terrifying. He is, in fact, the seventy-five thousand eight hundred and forty-second person to want to kill me this year. But guess what? All those people were eaten up."
After saying that, he let out a burp.
The other demons didnât take it seriously.
Itâs just the Flesh Demon Lordâs habitual madness. You canât really kill him, so ignoring him is the best choice.
