Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru immediately shut up and moved away from each other as quickly as possible.
Both of them looked disgusted.
The lobby fell silent again.
Xu Changqing's eyes widened in disbelief, and he murmured, "As expected, it has to be my junior brother!"
Jing Tian glanced silently at Tang Xuejian. He had been frequently scolded by her lately; could it be that she might also be...?
Tang Xuejian's eyes met Jing Tian's, and the girl's face instantly turned red. She put her hands on her hips, embarrassed and angry, and said, "You stinky Jing Tian, what are you looking at? I am the eldest daughter of the Tang family, and you are just a pawnshop clerk. What are you thinking?!"
Jing Tian quickly waved his hand, "I didn't think too much about it, you're the one overthinking it!"
Tang Xuejian glared at Jing Tian, ready to unleash her fury, but then remembered what Chu Yang had said. So she could only swallow her anger and glare fiercely at him.
Jing Tian felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze. He silently turned around and walked towards Chu Yang, cupping his fists and saying, "I heard that the Daoist Master specifically asked me to come and find the Five Elemental Pearls. I am just a mortal. I wonder what the Daoist Master's intention is in doing this?"
All eyes were on Chu Yang, and Xu Changqing was also very curious about him, but the situation was urgent and he had no chance to explain.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Yang asked, "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
Reincarnation?
Reincarnation?
Everyone remained silent. Jing Tian frowned, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.
Tang Xuejian asked timidly, "Master Chu, do you mean that Jingtian's past life was extraordinary?"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "To be precise, it should be his previous life's previous life."
Jing Tian was a little confused and asked blankly, "Is it the previous life, or the life before that..."
Chu Yang slowly said, "The story should begin with the conflict between the realms of gods and demons."
"The Demon Lord Chonglou, who destroyed the Demon-Sealing Tower, was a formidable opponent in the Six Realms, but a thousand years ago, he had a worthy adversary, the God General Feipeng."
"Due to the increasingly frequent conflicts between the realms of gods and demons at that time, the two accidentally discovered a new immortal realm that did not belong to one of the seventy-two immortal mountains during the battle. Later, they fought a duel in private over the ownership of this place."
"Fei Peng and Chong Lou fought many times, but the outcome was always uncertain. They gradually developed a mutual respect for each other. However, the rules of the God Realm were strict. Fei Peng's private fight with the Demon Lord without the Heavenly Emperor's permission was a violation of the Heavenly Law."
"In the end, the gods sent someone to intervene in their duel. Fei Peng was distracted and lost, and even his sword was knocked down to the mortal realm. Chong Lou felt that his victory was unfair and remained resentful, wanting to fight Fei Peng again."
"Demon Lord Chonglou felt that the God Realm had too many rules, like a cage that did not grant him freedom. He did not want to see a hero like Fei Peng trapped in his own cocoon, so he persuaded Fei Peng to join the Demon Realm."
"Fei Peng was unwilling and willingly returned to the God Realm to receive punishment. In the end, he was cast into reincarnation by the Heavenly Emperor and became a mortal."
"This is how the story begins."
Upon hearing this story, everyone felt sorry for General Fei Peng of the God Realm, and from Chu Yang's words, they also sensed the cold indifference of the God Realm.
No one thought General Fei Peng had done anything wrong. His reason for fighting Demon Lord Chonglou was simply out of loyalty to the divine realm and a desire to seize the unclaimed new immortal realm.
Isn't the so-called Heavenly Law just an excuse that the Heavenly Emperor made because he felt that Fei Peng had offended his dignity?
Tang Xuejian secretly glanced at Jing Tian a few times and shook her head inwardly. How could she believe that this blockhead in front of her was General Fei Peng from the God Realm?
Xu Changqing frowned. "That's why Demon Lord Chonglou said such strange things to Brother Jing. He already knew that Brother Jing was the reincarnation of General Feipeng!"
"Just to complete that unfair duel, he actually destroyed the Demon-Sealing Tower without hesitation, plunging the world into misery?!"
"As expected of a demon, he cannot be judged by ordinary standards!"
Jing Tian looked at the demonic sword beside him, his face turning bitter. It turned out that the disaster at Mount Shu was directly related to him.
For a moment, he felt that he was the source of suffering.
Seeing his absent-minded appearance, Chu Yang reached out and patted his head, laughing, "Fei Peng is Fei Peng, and you are you. The two cannot be confused. The meaning of reincarnation is that all past events are just fleeting clouds."
"He is looking for Fei Peng, while you are Jing Tian. The past relationship has nothing to do with you; the relationship in this life is what you should cherish."
"Although Demon Lord Chonglou was able to overpower the Six Realms, he was ultimately blinded by his obsession and failed to see this point."
The voice just fell.
A terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon Leizhou, and a crimson figure stood in the sky, looking down upon the world.
"You say I can't see through obsession?"
"Who gave you the audacity to speak so recklessly!"
The sound exploded in everyone's ears like rolling thunder.
The Demon Lord has arrived!
Chapter 145. The Demon Lord is a Treasure Trove
145.
"Speak of the devil, and he appears..."
Chu Yang felt somewhat helpless. Spoiling plot points like this was indeed a sin against heaven, and what was even more embarrassing was being caught by the person involved.
Demon Lord Chonglou looks very angry.
"We're all on the same side, can we sit down and talk?"
Before Chu Yang could finish speaking, Xu Changqing had already attacked in anger.
How could he, as the chief disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect, tolerate the culprit who destroyed the Demon Locking Tower?
Sword energy shot straight into the sky!
"Hmph! Even Qingwei doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of me, yet you, a mere little Taoist priest, dare to make a move?"
Chonglou's eyes flashed with a cold light, and red demonic light gathered in his palm. He then slammed his palm horizontally, unleashing a chilling aura that pressed down fiercely on Xu Changqing.
The crimson demonic light forcefully broke through the sword energy, engulfing Xu Changqing along with it.
Upon seeing this, Chu Yang flashed and appeared out of thin air beside Xu Changqing, placing a hand on his shoulder before disappearing again.
Chonglou said with considerable surprise, "You do have some skill. Then take another move from me!"
Chu Yang cupped his hands and sneered, "The Demon Lord who roams the Six Realms is actually a shameless bully who uses his power to oppress the weak. Meeting him today is truly disappointing."
Chonglou's face darkened, filled with murderous intent. "What did you say?"
Looking at the familiar "red-haired monster," Jing Tian felt little fear and said directly, "What Master Chu said is not wrong. You have cultivated for countless years and are a well-known figure in the Six Realms. Bullying a few mortals here, what is this if not bullying the weak?"
"I really don't know how I ever enjoyed dealing with someone like you..."
Jing Tian's unintentional remark struck a nerve with Chong Lou. He valued this assessment of his "lifelong enemy" highly, and upon hearing it, Chong Lou was like a volcano about to erupt.
The dark clouds over Leizhou are piling up.
Tang Xuejian grabbed the dazed Jing Tian and said urgently, "Are you crazy! How dare you provoke him? Be careful he gets angry and kills us all. He looks so petty..."
Lin Yueru covered Tang Xuejian's mouth with her hand, saying with tears in her eyes, "Your mouth is even more unlucky, you'd better keep it shut!"
The veins on Chonglou's temples bulged, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
"Sharp-tongued! You did learn something good from all those ordinary people back then!"
He took a deep breath, first coldly glancing at the trembling Tang Xuejian, and then said to Chu Yang, "You are a mortal, and I am the Demon Lord. It is indeed unfair for me to suppress you with my cultivation. You should draw up the terms, and we must have a fight today!"
Chu Yang gave Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian a thumbs up, and the two of them grinned foolishly, their faces showing a smug expression, just like elementary school students being praised by their teacher.
"Senior is magnanimous, truly worthy of the title of Demon Lord."
"Stop talking nonsense! Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. If you lose, you won't have the chance to spout off here."
Chu Yang stepped forward, shook his sleeves, and smiled, "In the Six Realms, who doesn't know that the Demon Lord is exceptionally brave and skilled? This junior is not talented, but I would like to have a contest of strength with you, senior."
Everyone was shocked and looked at Chu Yang as if he were a madman.
A mortal trying to outmuscle the Demon Lord?
This is something that only someone who has lost their mind could say.
Lin Yueru tugged at Li Xiaoyao's sleeve, swallowed hard, and whispered, "What's wrong with Daoist Chu? Could it be that the pressure is too much and he's gone mad?"
Li Xiaoyao irritably shook off his hand, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you're crazy, Brother Chu won't be!"
Lin Yueru said anxiously, "Who in their right mind would think of this?"
Li Xiaoyao said firmly, "I believe in Brother Chu. Ever since he saved us on Immortal Spirit Island, I've felt that there's nothing in this world that he can't do."
Lin Yueru pursed her lips, her emotions gradually calming down.
Chonglou remained indifferent and bluntly stated, "I'll assume you've lost your mind and give you another chance to say it."
Chu Yang smiled without saying a word, his eyes filled with provocation.
"If you lose, I won't kill you, but I'll break every bone in your body."
"What if I win?"
"I'll grant you one wish!"
"A word is settled!"
Demon Lord Chonglou descended from the sky, standing in the middle of the Yun Mansion's courtyard, his gaze fixed on Chu Yang as he asked, "How shall we compete?"
Chu Yang, bracing himself against the Demon Lord's powerful aura, walked up to him and then drew a circle at their feet with his sword.
