NOVEL NEXT Chapter 35
Feeding Demons With His Body
Three days later, it was the 500th birthday of the ancestor of the Lu family, Lu Cangmang. The Tianyuan Ancient City was filled with a festive atmosphere. Many guests came in droves.
In the Demon Subduing Division, Lin Wudao was ready to go to the Lu family to congratulate them on Zhao Xuanxiao’s behalf. But, just as he walked out of Star Seizer Courtyard, he saw Li Bingtian and the two others.
“Congratulations, Brother Lin!”
“Congratulations!”
…
As soon as they met, the three cupped their fists and congratulated him.
Everyone had bright smiles on their faces.
Lin Wudao could not help but feel puzzled.
“Why are you all so happy?”
“Brother Lin, you still don’t know? Prince Li Yang and the Demon Subduing Division of Yuan State have already reported to the capital of the Li Dynasty about you killing the demon and suppressing the remaining members of the Netherworld Devil Sect.”
“I heard that His Majesty admires you a lot!”
“Under Prince Li Yang’s strong recommendation, he’s preparing to promote you to the position of Deputy Governor. So this matter is basically in the bag. His Majesty’s decree will be sent in half a month.”
“You’re the fastest person in the history of our Yuan State’s Demon Subduing Division to promote.”
…
Li Bingtian and the others kept talking.
What?
The Deputy Governor of the Demon Subduing Division?
Lin Wudao nodded calmly upon hearing the news.
It seemed that Prince Li Yang was not lying. He did have a say in the affairs of the Li Dynasty.
“Thank you for taking care of me!” Lin Wudao replied politely.
“Brother Lin, you’re being too polite. We’re all working for the Li Dynasty, and we’re family. Your achievements have been witnessed!”
“Besides, Chen Taiji doesn’t deserve it!”
“That’s right!”
“It’s only right to help each other.”
…
A few of them agreed.
Lin Wudao was powerful, so building a good relationship with him was necessary.
In the future, perhaps they would need to rely on him!
“Oh right, Brother Lin, are you planning to go to the Lu family to celebrate their ancestor’s birthday?”
“That’s right!”
“Previously, the Governor asked me to go on his behalf, so I have to…”
Lin Wudao nodded slightly.
“In that case, let’s go together!”
Together with Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan, the group of six left the Demon Subduing Division, chatting and laughing.
…
The Lu family was not far from the Demon Subduing Division!
Half an hour later, Lin Wudao and the others arrived.
Looking up, he saw the Lu family was already decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The sound of drums was endless, and guests came in an infinite stream.
Everyone had faint smiles on their faces.
The place was filled with a festive atmosphere.
“Oh, Governor Li, Governor Yan, Governor Dugu, and Lord Lin, you’re all here! Your presence brings light to our humble home. Quickly enter….”
An old man who looked like a housekeeper greeted them with respect.
He then personally led them into the main hall of the Lu family.
There were many guests gathered inside. When they saw Li Bingtian and the others, they all stood up and greeted them. They also cast a few glances at Lin Wudao.
This newly appointed Lord of the Demon Hunter Hall was in the limelight!
His fame had long resounded throughout the entire Tianyuan Ancient City and even spread to the capital of the Li Dynasty. He had long been regarded as a demon-subduing hero by countless cultivators.
At the same time, his brutal means also made many people afraid.
They all kept a respectful distance from such a cold-faced God of Death!
Lin Wudao ignored them and followed Li Bingtian and the others to the main hall.
He looked around and realized that Lu Qinghou was greeting the guests outside the hall. There was an old chair at the head of the hall.
It seemed that it was prepared for Lu Cangmang.
The Lu family had a vast network of connections. Lin Wudao saw many Dao Palace realm cultivators at the scene.
There were even a few Paramita realm cultivators!
Whoosh!
Just as Lin Wudao was looking around, a commotion suddenly broke out from the crowd outside the hall. Then, a spirited old man in embroidered clothes strode over.
Although he looked a little old, he exuded a powerful aura from head to toe, gaining the respect of many guests.
He had perfected the Dao Palace realm!
Lin Wudao glanced at him and then looked away.
This ancestor of the Lu family was only slightly weaker than Zhao Xuanxiao of the Demon Subduing Division.
In Tianyuan Ancient City, he could be considered a top expert!
…
“Is Yunxiao still not back yet?”
Lu Cangmang sat at the head of the hall and asked Lu Qinghou without turning his head.
“Uh, he’s on his way.”
“He should be here soon. But, ancestor, please wait a little longer.”
Hearing this, Lu Cangmang’s expression was calm, and he did not say anything.
Taking advantage of the silence, he quietly observed the people present. His deep eyes swept across Li Bingtian and the others. When he saw Lin Wudao, he paused for a few moments.
“Ancestor, this is Lin Wudao, the newly-appointed Lord of the Demon Hunter Hall. He was the one who killed the demon and suppressed the remaining evil of the Netherworld Devil Sect.”
“It is said that he will be promoted to Deputy Governor soon,” Lu Qinghou explained in a low voice.
Hearing this, Lu Cangmang nodded his head.
“Lord Lin is young and promising. His future is limitless.”
He praised.
Lin Wudao glanced at him. His expression is still indifferent.
“He became famous at a young age. He’s indeed aggressive.”
Lu Cangmang chuckled and ignored Lin Wudao.
In his eyes, Lin Wudao was merely a junior with some strength and happened to kill a demon and suppress a few insignificant masters of the Netherworld Devil Sect.
Once he became famous, he would become complacent!
Such a person would not be able to go far.
His future achievements would also be limited!
Therefore, he did not continue to pay attention to Lin Wudao.
Whoosh!
Coincidentally, at this moment, a bright stream of light streaked across the sky. It eventually became an ancient spiritual boat and stopped before the Lu family.
A young man in embroidered clothes with an extraordinary temperament stood on it.
“Lu Yunxiao is back!”
“It’s said he’s the most outstanding son of the Lu family in the past thousand years. He’s already reached the Dao Palace realm at a young age. He’s a peerless genius.”
“Other than that, he has also followed a master from the Xuantian Sect.”
…
Many discussions could be heard from the crowd.
Buzzzzzz!
At this moment, Lin Wudao also looked in the direction of the voice.
Boom!
Because of God’s Spiritual Eye, what he saw differed from the others.
When Lin Wudao glanced over, he immediately saw a powerful demonic aura soaring into the sky and turning into a nine-headed demonic ape behind him.
Its face was highly ferocious!
This demon was even more potent than Prince Li Yang’s wife, Leng Qingyue.
He had already reached the upper position of the seventh rank!
“Lu Yunxiao indeed feeds demons with his body.”
Lin Wudao’s eyes glowed with a cold, murderous light.
At the same time, he also thought of the note and the demonic water the mysterious man had given him. He was now very suspicious of the other party’s intentions and motives.
Was it to plot against Lu Yunxiao? Or was he scheming against Lin Wudao in the dark?
Lin Wudao was not sure yet!
“However, I should be able to reveal the answer soon,” he thought.
…
Lu Yunxiao had no idea about Lin Wudao’s killing intent.
Surrounded by the crowd, he went straight to the main hall.
“Paying my respect to the old ancestor. I wish the old ancestor eternal life and to be as powerful as the sun in the sky!”
Lu Yunxiao said respectfully.
Hearing this, a bright smile bloomed on Lu Cangmang’s aged face.
“Good! Good! Good!”
“My Lu family’s wonderful son is back. So let’s start the banquet…”
His loud voice spread throughout the Lu family.
Everyone could feel Lu Cangmang’s happiness and joy.
However, they were unaware that, at this moment, two uninvited guests had already quietly blended into the crowd.
Looking at the joyous and peaceful scene in the hall, Li Longxiang’s lips curled into a cold smile.
“Since the banquet has started, let’s begin…”
He took out the Heavenly Treasure Mirror.
At this moment, there was already a message displayed on it.
[ Breaking news: Lu Yunxiao, the Inner Sect disciple of the Xuantian Sect and the young master of the Lu family in Tianyuan Ancient City, uses his body to feed a demon at the upper position of the seventh rank: the nine-headed demonic ape! ]
A fantastic show was about to start.
