Episode 74: Golden Peng Demon King

  "Where did this monk come from, daring to fight recklessly in the territory of the Wan Yao Alliance......" This long, drawn-out shout was extremely fast and loud, almost echoing throughout the entire sky. At the same time, a massive amount of demonic energy suddenly emerged, swiftly inserting itself into the battlefield between the two powerful scattered immortals.

  In an instant, Li Yan, the old Taoist, and this newly arrived demon formed a triangular standoff, with powerful air currents compressing the surrounding air, forcing it to surge outward in all directions.

  Li Yan and the old Taoist priest turned their eyes at the same time, but saw that the newcomer was a tall and slender young man, wearing a golden robe. Although he looked ordinary, his strength was not to be underestimated, having nearly three thousand years of Taoist practice, equivalent to a second-level loose immortal, although not comparable to the old Taoist priest and Li Yan.

  When he saw Li Yan, it was okay, but when he saw the old Taoist priest, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Li Lingfeng, Old Man Li, why haven't you died yet?"

  "You're dead!" The old Taoist heard this and couldn't help but blow his beard and glare, at this time, he also recognized the person who came. He was so angry that he said: "It's you, Jin Peng! I didn't expect that after 200 years, you've actually cultivated to the level of a Demon King?!"

  Li Yan heard this and couldn't help but frown, these two people actually knew each other, he was surprised that he couldn't help but be taken aback. At this time, the Jue Xian sword moved to his left hand, and with a stretch of his right hand, he pressed down on the hilt. At this moment, he had to raise his spirit to the limit in order to face the strong enemy.

  Jin Peng couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh and said, "Senior, let's call it quits for now. If we keep fighting, the commotion will get too big and the Security Bureau will come looking for us."

  "What's a Security Bureau? What sect is it?" Upon hearing this, the old Taoist was taken aback.

  Li Yan was also one of those who couldn't help but be stunned, now he finally understood why this old Daoist had attacked Huang Hu as soon as he came up. It turned out that this guy had been in seclusion for too long and didn't know that the world had changed greatly, whether it was the secular world or the cultivation world.

  Three people hung in mid-air, chatting one after another for a while before Li Yan and the old Taoist finally understood that nowadays, the cultivation world and the secular world are no longer like they used to be with many sects. The entire cultivation world is divided into three major forces: the Orthodox Alliance, the Demonic Alliance, and the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance, standing on equal footing. Anyone who has achieved cultivation will register and record, and there will be no more mutual conquest among them. Moreover, in order to maintain balance and ensure development, the three major forces have joined with the country to form a security bureau, which is responsible for managing some rule-breaking cultivators.

  Abroad, the major cultivation circles are also like this. The era of beheading demons and killing ghosts is over, now everything emphasizes law, even the strong in the cultivation world are no exception. After all, cultivators who can rival the three major alliances are hard to find, even if you look at the entire earth, there are only a few.

  "How could this be?" The old Taoist's sense of justice seemed to be a bit too strong, and upon hearing Jin Peng's words, he couldn't help but feel a momentary loss of consciousness.

  However, Jin Peng Yao Wang seemed to be not too concerned about it, but instead introduced very enthusiastically: "Li Lingfeng, your Shu Shan Jian Pai is now one of the six pillars of the Zheng Dao Alliance, with its headquarters located in Qinglong Mountain in the capital. If you have time, go take a look. Your senior brother Li Lingtian is currently the vice president of the Zheng Dao Alliance, and his cultivation is very powerful. He is also one of the top ten masters in the cultivation world, and he's really formidable!"

  Thus, I bid farewell. After a moment of distraction, Li Lingfeng left with some disappointment. Having spent his whole life slaying demons and monsters, he found that after closing the mountain pass, he discovered that it was now a socialist harmonious society. The orthodox and evil demonic paths, as well as humans and demons, were actually living in peace with each other. This made him feel bewildered and his heart was filled with melancholy.

  As he watched Li Lingfeng's stubborn bull nose leave, the Golden Peng Demon King couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He had a deep understanding of the other party's overbearing strength and was not willing to fight this old Taoist priest, which would be purely self-inflicted suffering. Even if his own cultivation were to advance further and reach the level of a third-tribulation scattered immortal, he feared it would still be difficult to compete with a sword cultivator renowned for their attacking power.

  In comparison, Li Yan was shocked. Although he had arrived a step late, the struggle between Li Yan and Li Lingfeng was something he had witnessed with his own eyes. To be able to fight evenly with the abnormal Li Lingfeng, or even gain the upper hand, was no easy feat.

  "I don't know which senior you are, forgive me for my poor eyesight, I couldn't recognize you?" In fact, as he asked with his mouth, he was really puzzled. Among the current cultivation world's top experts, even if he hadn't seen them before, he had at least heard of them, but he definitely hadn't seen this person in front of him before.

  Li Yan had roughly digested the words of Jin Peng Yao Wang and had a general understanding of the cultivation world on this planet, which was much stronger than what he knew before. When asked, he calmly replied: "My name is Li Yan, I have never set foot in the cultivation world before, you don't know, it's not something unusual."

  "It's no wonder." The Golden Peng Demon King had no opinion on Li Yan's indifference. He wasn't a person without insight, and it was easy to see that the other party was using their divine soul manifestation at this moment, which showed that their cultivation was strong and profound, and they were at least an existence above the third calamity scattered immortal. With a gaze that spanned the world, they were top-notch masters, and having some temperament was only normal.

  After a brief moment of contemplation, he immediately pulled out a white jade business card from his body and handed it to Li Yan with respect, saying: "Li Yan, senior, this is Xiao Yao's business card. If you need anything in the mortal world, feel free to contact me."

  Li Yan took the business card and flipped it over, only to find that it had just a name and a phone number on it. There was nothing special about it, except for the small defensive formation attached to the back of the card.

  "Alright, I've got it. If there's anything, I'll look for you." Li Yan responded casually, stuffed the business card into his wallet and tossed it into the void.

  Jin Peng Yao Wang saw the situation, his face involuntarily let out a bitter laugh. It seemed that he had overestimated himself. The other party's performance made it clear that they didn't take him to heart. But this was also good. For someone with such profound and unpredictable powers, who had always been reclusive and rarely showed up, having less contact with them meant fewer troubles for him.

  Li Yan didn't know what the other person was thinking at this moment, otherwise, he wouldn't mind letting the sword out of its scabbard and stabbing it a few times on the opponent's body. He glanced at Fan Zhuo lying on the ground in the distance, this poor vampire count, who now only had half his life left, and this was because their bloodline had a relatively strong recovery ability, otherwise, with his cultivation, he would have been finished after taking Huang Hu's heavy blow.

  "Everything else is up to you now, I believe that with your strength, you should be able to handle the aftermath here." Li Yan didn't waste any more words, and with a swift movement, his body merged with his primordial spirit, transforming into a dazzling cyan light that pierced through the sky.

  Jin Peng Yao Wang just used a dazed god's kung fu, and saw the cyan light that Li Yan transformed into. After spinning in mid-air for half a circle, it was wrapped around the half-dead vampire Fan Zhuo, breaking into the void, and disappeared into the endless night sky without a trace.

  "Consider yourself lucky, otherwise, even if you have a Safety Bureau permit, I'll still cripple you. You think you can take the sacred object that fell in China back with you? Don't even think about it." As he spoke, a dazzling blood-red glow flashed on Jin Peng's hand, and then a wine cup-shaped red crystal cup appeared in his hand.

  This crimson agate cup is crystal clear throughout, and inside the cup, there is a small cluster of **. Under the moonlight, it appears even more eerie and mysterious. Ordinary people might not be surprised, but if that Vantablack were here at this moment and saw it, he would definitely exclaim in shock: "This... how is this possible?!"

  Could it be that this crimson glass cup has some sort of hidden secret?
