Tang Luo, holding the Yin-Yang Grinding, approached the image of the Demon King with a full-faced smile. He held out the giant Grinding tool so that the Demon King could clearly see how his old friend was trapped.
The Blood God trapped in the mill, seeing Tang Luo’s action, felt outrageous shame and shouted, “Fox, don’t meddle in my affairs, don’t agree to whatever he demands, humans are nothing but despicable!”
He was deeply resentful that he attempted to obstruct with an innate air arrow before the fusing blood technique could be executed, considering such behavior cowardly. He harbored great hatred in his heart.
But how could the Divine Soul trapped in the Yin-Yang mill possibly make his voice heard? Therefore, the Demon King could only see his old friend shouting in the giant mill, adding a layer of sadness to an already desperate scene.
Seeing the Blood God trapped, the Demon King understood that the tide had turned against him. In two months, he could recover a bit and threaten with a self-explosive divine soul. However, facing Tang Luo now, he couldn’t think of any countermeasures.
An aged voice, as if depleted of all strength, said in despair, “What do you propose?”
With this conceding remark, the Demon King felt his pride evaporating. He was no longer the transcendent Demon King who, with a casual flick of his demonic tail, made mountains tremble a thousand years ago.
His old friend was no longer the Blood God who had once reigned supreme in Longzhou. They were nothing more than two faint and feeble remnants of souls now.
To speak nothing of Han Wu present before them, even the descendants of the strongest human, who appeared innumerable generations later, could toy with them at their fingertips in this Minor Spiritual Realm.
The Demon King, who still believed that Tang Luo was a descendant of the Han Family, could no longer maintain his demon king’s pride. All he wanted now was to save his old friend’s life.
Though he had only seen the Yin-Yang Grinding for the first time, he had clearly seen how even the Blood Fiend’s Divine Light, said to be able to dissolve anything, was ground down to its most fundamental spiritual power by the currents of the mill, flooded and dispersed. How could his old friend’s soul be any exception?
Hearing the Demon King’s sudden despair, Tang Luo chuckled and said, “The youngster plans to use your old friend’s life to make the honorable Demon King carry the can.”
“Carry the can?” Although he didn’t know what the request was, the Demon King heard the key point in Tang Luo’s words. He couldn’t believe that the latter would actually release the Blood God. So, he clarified, “Will you really let him go?”
“Of course, as long as Lord Demon King agrees, we still need your old friend’s help with this can,” Tang Luo laughed and answered.
Originally, he entered the Minor Spiritual Realm to save some youngsters. Even after encountering a group of mechanical puppets with red light flashing in their eyes, his goal changed.
After confirming that the Demon King would not hesitate to explode his divine soul to hide the fact that there was another living being in the Minor Spiritual Realm, he thought of using this secret to do something.
“Why should I trust you?” the image of the Demon King asked. After such a major event, he could no longer regard the youth in front of him as a junior. It was even harder for him to convince himself to trust the other party. Could the latter really keep his promise to release his old friend if he carried the can? He was very doubtful now.
Tang Luo chuckled lightly, “Lord Demon King, think about it, from the moment I entered the Minor Spiritual Realm, I never deceived you. Strong players’ game, winning or losing is always a thin line. You asked me to enter the jar, I entered. But you can’t say I’m low and vile if I break out of the jar. In this world, who only allows winning and not losing. Don’t you think so?”
“Hehehehe.” The Demon King’s laughter was full of bitterness. “My old friend is right, I am still too weak. If you didn’t stop the old friend from making his move a month ago, how could you have broken out of the jar.”
A thousand years ago, he was deceived by Han Wu and lost his nine-tailed fox lineage; a thousand years later, because of his word of honor, he got his old friend in a tight spot!
The Demon King felt that he was always wrong, always able to make the worst decisions at key moments. Everyone said that the fox clan was cunning, but why was he so stupid
Tang Luo, who was so clever, how could he not hear the bitterness in the Demon King’s words. However, he had a different opinion.
“But don’t think Lord Demon King is stupid, on the contrary, you have my respect.”
“A thousand years ago, you were deceived by Han Wu, causing your downfall. If I were in your shoes, I would be enraged, seeing all of the human race as enemies. But Lord Demon King, you were able to appreciate me, and you kept your promise before the palace gate. I think that is commendable.”
“To tell you the truth, even if your old friend had launched an attack in front of the palace, I was 100% confident that I could escape. But if those clans were injured or killed, then we would truly become immortal enemies.”
“Lord Demon King, your seemingly foolish act is actually very wise, because it gives you and your old friend a chance to live.”
From the moment he entered the Minor Spiritual Realm, Tang Luo had a great respect for the nine-tailed Demon King. Even if the two were adversaries, he did not want to destroy that respect in his heart. If only based on results, the Demon King was indeed a complete failure.
He fell for Han Wu’s scheme, was trapped in the Bewitching Dragon Array, and had to fight against two human sanctifiers alone, without even having a chance to manoeuvre. In the end, he dissipated, his divine soul extracted and trapped in the Minor Spiritual Realm forever.
Such a complete failure should not garner a positive evaluation, right? Forgive me, but Tang Luo is not a man who values results above all. Because there is a simple reason.
From a human perspective, the nine-tailed Demon King’s failure was simply because he was too kind.
Even with one’s toe, one can figure it out. The nine-tailed Demon King, who needed the intervention of two human sanctifiers and the Bewitching Dragon Array to be killed, must have been an overwhelmingly powerful creature, scaring the entire world.
The Information regarding such a powerful Lord Demon King engaging in any evil deeds has neither been heard nor noted in any ancient books. The only legend about him is the origin of the Fox Immortal Temple, a story about the Fox Immortal protecting the human race.
If this Demon King had been a bit more ferocious, selfish, or even timid, the human race would have been helpless if he had simply wanted to escape.
And the existence of a hostile Demon Saint with full hatred towards humans would have put the human race in a terrifying situation. Tang Luo dare not even imagine.
A transcendent Demon King who failed because of his excessive purity and kindness, if you still use the harshest language to criticize him, then it is to bow down to evil once again.
Everyone knows that it’s easier to be a bad person, and everyone knows that it’s more comfortable to be selfish. With those simple-minded kind fools, can’t they react after suffering losses?
But in this world where everyone wants to be a villain, if you still want to be a good person who doesn’t suffer losses, you need stronger power and means, and most importantly, wisdom.
Because of the memory of his previous life, Tang Luo has a lot of compassion, which gave him a vague feeling that he might indeed meet an unpleasant end one day.
Therefore, he was very grateful that he had met this Demon King at such a young age, who served as a wake-up call for him.
It also made him make a decision. It is certainly possible for a kind person to fail, but he should not be completely defeated. Since this Demon King was willing to explode his divine soul to protect his old friend, then let him be, when he himself was in an advantageous position..
