CHAPTER 1498: CHAPTER 1498 THREE DEMONS SUBMIT

This Da Heiniu is at the Nascent Soul Realm Peak, clearly a level below Daoist Huo Ju’s Soul Ascension Stage cultivation level.

However, its bloodline is special, being that of the Ancient Savage Bull, and wielding the Thunder Drum Golden Hammer, it surprisingly doesn’t fall behind at all.

A bull and an Old Lvv battled loudly on the martial arts field, finally finding the place too small, and went out to fight by the Huai River.

The Golden-Winged Roc and the Sea Demon Ape were quite sociable, quickly getting familiar with Bald Dog and the Ground Rat Demon King.

The four of them joined shoulders to drink wine, shouting that they would go to the seas of this world to claim some territory, otherwise their cultivation level would be wasted in vain.

Reflecting on hardships and sweetness, the four demons even reminisced about life outside.

The Golden-Winged Roc wiped away tears, its hooked beak trembling, "It’s a pity for my Big Brother the Black Dragon King. If only it were still here."

Chu Feng, listening nearby, frowned and asked, "What, do you blame us for killing your big brother back then?"

"No, these are things of the past."

The Golden-Winged Roc shook its head repeatedly, its life in their hands, where would it dare to blame anything.

Long Fei told them, "You all treated the Black Dragon King as a big brother, but he might not have regarded you as brothers."

"What do you mean?"

The Golden-Winged Roc and the Sea Demon Ape both looked at Long Fei.

Long Fei took out an Image Retention Stone and placed it on the table, revealing an image from inside.

This image was of the Black Dragon King’s second son cursing hysterically during the destruction of his Nascent Soul, "Long Fei, you bastard, I won’t let you off even in my next life. I hate with all my heart, if only my King Father had sooner swallowed the bloodlines of the Golden-Winged Roc and the Sea Demon Ape, how could I let you be so arrogant."

The Golden-Winged Roc and the Sea Demon Ape stared blankly at the dragon-shaped Nascent Soul, a bit at a loss.

The Sea Demon Ape’s throat itched as it said, "Your meaning is, my big brother intended to kill us?"

The Golden-Winged Roc also glared as if about to breathe fire.

Long Fei put away the Image Retention Stone and told them, "I don’t mean to sow discord among you brothers, but it seems, your big brother and nephew indeed had this intention. As you know, the Dragon Clan bloodline relies on swallowing the bloodlines of other great demons to evolve. Given your unique bloodlines, your big brother having such thoughts isn’t surprising."

The two demons drank silently for half the day.

Bald Dog comforted them, "Alright, these are all past matters. Going forward, let us brothers open our hearts and show loyalty, supporting our master together. If the master ascends to immortality, we will undoubtedly reap great benefits."

The Ground Rat Demon King raised his cup and said, "Indeed, look at my Ground Rat clan. Originally, it was just a minor family. Since following the master, we’ve constantly been improving our bloodline, now even evolving golden fur, continually reverting to our ancestral form. Our master is a person of great fortune; following him is sure to lead us right."

Demons are straightforward, without much deceit.

Having reached this point, the Golden-Winged Roc and the Sea Demon Ape also let go of past grudges.

They both rose, and knelt on one knee before Long Fei, saying, "Master, we apologize for past offenses. From now on, through fire and water, we will have no complaints."

"Alright, get up and let’s drink!"

Long Fei smiled lightly, raising his hand for them to rise.

To gather followers, mere intimidation isn’t a long-term plan; it must come with benefits, making them feel it’s advantageous to follow you.

He took out two items from his Storage Ring, and handed them to the Golden-Winged Roc and the Sea Demon Ape.

The two items shone with star and moon light, precisely the Star Moon Fruit from Mount Heng.

"What’s this?"

The Golden-Winged Roc’s eyes widened, its heart skipped a beat.

These uniquely shaped fruits were evidently no ordinary items.

Bald Dog couldn’t help but gleam with excitement, exclaiming, "Master, you’re too biased!"

Having tasted some last time, it naturally knew the benefits of these items.

"We’ve tasted these before. They’re extremely beneficial for washing marrow and cutting veins, and forging a great demon’s body."

The Ground Rat Demon King laughed happily, not as greedy as Bald Dog.

Long Fei smiled at Bald Dog, "Don’t complain. You ate the most last time; eating more now would be ineffective."

"Isn’t it my due?"

Bald Dog whispered, its eyes spinning towards Long Fei’s Storage Ring.

It knew better than anyone, how many treasures Long Fei’s Storage Ring held.

Long Fei ignored it, addressing the Golden-Winged Roc and the Sea Demon Ape, "Your magical weapons were confiscated by me back then; now I return them to you. In the future, when better magical weapons are available, I’ll give them to you."

He took out a purple longsword and a pair of Thunder Drum Golden Hammers.

The purple longsword belonged to the Golden-Winged Roc, named the Purple Light Sword.

The Thunder Drum Golden Hammers belonged to the Sea Demon Ape, both Earth Immortal Magical Treasures, not considered top-notch in this world.

"The master is thoughtful."

The Golden-Winged Roc knelt in gratitude, cracking a piece of the floor where it knelt.

The Sea Demon Ape likewise knelt on one knee, solemnly knocked its head to Long Fei in a respectful bow.

The two demons weren’t ones to be smooth talkers, much steadier than Bald Dog.

Their bloodlines were unique, making it difficult to transform into human form like Da Heiniu.

The Golden-Winged Roc retained its hooked beak, with eagle feathers on its head.

The Sea Demon Ape was covered in white fur but lacked monkey-like traits, appearing very mature.

A group of people drank and ate meat, and about two hours later, Da Heiniu and Daoist Huo Ju returned from their fight.

Both were drenched in sweat, joyfully shoulder-to-shoulder, leaving everyone wide-eyed in astonishment.

Da Heiniu patted Daoist Huo Ju’s shoulder with laughter, "This Old Lvv, strong and sturdy, despite being older, doesn’t lose to me; I truly admire him."

Daoist Huo Ju laughed, "You’re quite a calf, indeed living up to the Ancient Savage Bull bloodline, truly powerful. I also admire you, henceforth you are my sworn brother."

They sat down as if nothing happened, lifting wine bowls to drink a bowl first.

Da Heiniu looked around, seeing everyone staring at them, said embarrassedly, "What’s wrong, do we have flowers on our faces?"

Daoist Huo Ju laughed, "Don’t be surprised, we bonded through the fight, and promise not to bicker anymore. I, Old Lvv, raise a toast to everyone, becoming a member of our new family."

At an advanced age, speaking subtly.

Chu Feng asked, "Daoist Huo Ju, you are the Wudang Supreme Elder, with blood feuds against us, do you sincerely join us?"

Daoist Huo Ju wiped the wine from his mouth and said, "What nonsense Supreme Elder, all flattery from Wudang disciples. I’m just a donkey, once ridden by the Wudang Ancestor. To repay the Old Ancestor’s favor, I agreed to be the Guardian Elder of Wudang Mountain. Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother for them. Henceforth, don’t call me Daoist, I’ve washed away past sins, just call me Old Lvv from now on."

Long Fei, together with Ji Wanrong, Chu Feng and the others, chuckled and returned Old Lvv’s Fire Steed Smoking Pipe to him.

Simultaneously took out a Star Moon Fruit, giving it along.

Daoist Huo Ju was quite knowledgeable, immediately exclaiming in surprise upon seeing the fruit, "Is this Mount Heng Sect’s Star Moon Fruit?"

Everyone glanced at each other, asking him, "You’ve seen these?"

Daoist Huo Ju cried out, "Of course I’ve seen them, they are indeed a Spiritual Root from Mount Heng. Previously, Mount Heng Sect used this item to lure powerhouses from the Cultivation World, regularly hosting a fruit tasting event. Later, as the sect declined, the event was gradually canceled. I had the privilege of observing once with the Wudang Ancestor, but unfortunately, only from a distance, never tasted it myself."
