Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the Lu family’s main hall, under Lu Qinghou’s lead, a group of descendants of the Lu family paid their respects to the old ancestor, Lu Cangmang, and offered gifts.
The scene was festive and lively!
In the massive hall, Lu Cangmang’s laughter continued to ring out.
However, just as everyone was immersed in the excitement of the party, a shocking roar suddenly rang out from the crowd.
“F*ck!”
“How is this possible? Lu Yunxiao feeds his body to the demon?”
Boom!
The sudden shout startled everyone.
When they looked in the direction of the sound, they saw a thin man holding a Heavenly Treasure Mirror with a look of extreme shock on his face.
At the same time, he looked at Lu Yunxiao with eyes full of fear.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Under everyone’s gaze, he pushed the crowd away in a panic and ran out of the Lu family’s residence with fear in his heart as if he had gone crazy.
What was going on?
This person’s strange actions attracted the attention of many people.
Many people took out the Heavenly Treasure Mirror to check the news. They all wanted to see what could make that person so afraid.
However, it would have been better if they did not take a look, but the moment they did, everyone gasped in shock.
“What? Lu Yunxiao is feeding the demon with his own body?”
“How is this possible? Isn’t lu Yunxiao an esteemed disciple of the Xuantian Sect? How could he do such a thing?”
“Dammit, he’s raising demons!”
“Oh my God, is this true? The demon is right beside me?”
…
The news from the Heavenly Treasure Mirror terrified everyone.
Whoosh!
In an instant, they pulled away from Lu Yunxiao and tried to avoid him as if they had seen a ghost.
Many timid guests even ran out of the Lu family’s residence.
This sudden turn of events disrupted the birthday celebration. Patriarch Lu was not the only one trembling. Even Lu Cangmang’s eyes widened in shock.
They all looked at Lu Yunxiao in disbelief.
“Dammit!”
“Why would the owner of the Human World Tower pay attention to a nobody like me? Who’s trying to harm me behind my back? To reveal the news of me feeding myself to a demon at the birthday ceremony is basically sending me to my death.”
Lu Yunxiao roared in his heart.
He hated the person who had plotted against him behind his back to such an extreme!
However, although his heart was filled with hatred, Lu Yunxiao was very calm on the surface. Even when everyone was looking at him, he did not panic.
Because he knew that once he showed any signs of panic, he would confirm that he was feeding his body to demons.
So even if it were true, he could not admit it!
Moreover, he was living in symbiosis with the nine-headed demonic ape. Even a Heavenly realm cultivator should not be able to detect it.
How could these people, who were only mortals, realize his secret?
As long as he did not admit it, no one could do anything to him!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunxiao calmed down!
“Yunxiao, the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, wrote that you are feeding your body to the demon. So what’s going on?”
Lu Cangmang’s rich voice rang out.
His eyes were fixed on Yunxiao as if he was trying to find some clues about the demon in him.
However, Lu Yunxiao was well prepared, so he did not panic!
“Old ancestor, this must be a joke by the Human World Tower owner. It can’t be taken seriously.”
“In this world, who doesn’t know that rearing demon is an unforgivable crime? Even a Deva realm cultivator wouldn’t dare to do such a thing, let alone a mere Dao Palace cultivator like myself.”
“All of this is complete nonsense!”
“Someone must have found the owner of the Human World Tower and deliberately spread rumors on the Heavenly Treasure Mirror to harm me. They want to kill me!”
Lu Yunxiao put on a pitiful expression.
Hearing this, everyone looked at one another.
“Uh, the owner of the Human World Tower would publish false news?”
“Bah! What a load of nonsense!”
“For so many years, the owner of the Human World Tower has never made a mistake. Since he announced this in the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, it must be true!”
“Raising a demon is a great crime! I’m sure Lu Yunxiao wouldn’t dare to admit it!”
“Won’t we know once we verify if he has fed his body to the demon?”
…
The crowd was abuzz with discussion!
Compared to Lu Yunxiao’s one-sided story, they were more willing to believe the Human World Tower, known to publish truthfully.
Therefore, no matter how much Lu Yunxiao tried to defend himself, he could not change the people’s doubts about him.
Many people even began to suggest that he verify his identity!
Thinking of this, many people could not help but look at Lin Wudao.
His brutality was well-known!
If Lu Yunxiao had fed the demon with his body, he would never let it go.
“Hah.”
“As expected, they’ve shifted the responsibility to me.”
Lin Wudao’s eyes were cold.
He was confident that this incident was directed at him.
Just as Lin Wudao was deep in thought, a hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
“Lord Lin of the Demon Subduing Division is very sensitive to demons!”
“I heard he has demonized water specially used to deal with demons. If he douses it on his body, he can make a demon reveal its actual appearance. So we will know if Lu Yunxiao is raising demons after we try it!”
That voice was ethereal!
Although it did ring out in the hall, Lin Wudao could not find the spear.
Seeing this, Lin Wudao’s killing intent surged!
Whoosh!
He quietly put his hand behind his back. In an instant, a wisp of divine light from the Origin Stone merged into the void and silently turned into a doppelganger.
In the darkness, he walked around the hall, looking for any suspicious person.
With the help of God’s Spiritual Eye, Lin Wudao controlled his doppelganger and sneaked up on Li Longxiang.
Coincidentally, Li Longxiang’s voice resounded again at this moment.
“Lord Lin, since Lu Yunxiao said he is innocent, please help to verify it.”
“The Demon Subduing Division has been in contact with demons for a long time. I’m sure they can tell us the truth!”
Lin Wudao found Li Longxiang speaking and was determined to kill him as he spoke.
“I’ll kill you after I’ve dealt with Lu Yunxiao!”
Then, Lin Wudao retracted his thoughts.
He realized that everyone’s eyes were on him.
Even Lu Yunxiao too!
However, unlike the others’ anticipation, there was an inexplicable panic and uneasiness in the depths of Lu Yunxiao’s eyes.
“Since everyone has requested it, then let’s verify it!”
Lin Wudao stood up slowly.
Under everyone’s gaze, he turned his hand and took out a palm-sized jade bottle. Then, he walked toward Lu Yunxiao.
“This is a bottle of demonic water. It can identify the actual body of a demon!”
“As long as a person has a demonic aura, nothing can escape from this demonic water. So, Lu Yunxiao, do you dare to try it?”
Lin Wudao’s face was indifferent.
Meanwhile, a fierce and powerful aura gushed out and enveloped Lu Yunxiao.
Facing the demonic water, he panicked!
His face changed rapidly.
“What, do you refuse? So, you’re raising demons?”
Buzzzzzz!
An ice-cold long blade appeared in Lin Wudao’s hand, and its brutal edge swept through the entire hall.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yunxiao was filled with hatred!
“Hmph, I didn’t rear any demons. So why would I be afraid?”
“Since that’s the case, let’s try it…”
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic water in Lin Wudao’s hand was spilled.
“No! Don’t!”
Lu Yunxiao cried out in alarm, his expression extremely panicked.
Yet, it was too late!
The demonic water had all fallen on his body.
“Ah!”
Accompanied by shrill screams, a jet-black demonic aura suddenly rushed out of Lu Yunxiao’s body.
Roar!
At the same time, a nine-headed demonic ape appeared behind him.
Everyone was terrified!
“How dare you, Lu Yunxiao! You’re not human!”
An ice-cold roar suddenly sounded.
Lin Wudao did not hesitate. Instead, he immediately raised his blade and slashed.
