Chapter 2376: Broken Horn Blood Punishment

The Eight-Armed War Demon might not have noticed, but the Spike Demon could see that the demon standing beside the Eight-Armed War Demon was an elder demon, and a very rare Fear Demon at that.

Among the Inferior Demons, Elder Demons hold a status slightly higher, comparable to the Demons themselves.

Once they become a Demon, they are destined to become a Demon Monarch.

However, Elder Demons are particularly rare, firstly because they find it difficult to produce offspring, and secondly, while their attack power is formidable, their bodies are extremely fragile. Clad in powerful protective armor, they are undoubtedly a terrifying presence on the battlefield.

This Fear Demon appears young, but has horns on its head and underdeveloped wings at its back. If it still has teeth, it will surely become a Fear Demon Monarch in the future.

“Pre… predecessor. May I know how to address you?”

The Spike Demon stepped forward, bowed slightly to Cong Shuai, and then spoke.

“My name is Duan Jiao, Blood Punishment.”

Cong Shuai proudly announced, as taught by the old Prophet and Lu Gou.

The Spike Demon nearly fell to the ground; the surname “Blood Punishment” was renowned in the Demon Abyss.

The Demon Abyss produced three Fear Demon Monarchs, all from the Blood Punishment Clan.

However, when the Blood Punishment Clan invaded the Taoyuan World back then, they suffered heavy casualties, and only one of the three Fear Demon Monarchs survived.

Now, another Fear Demon named Blood Punishment has appeared. If the remaining Fear Demon Monarch were to learn that their lineage still has a Fear Demon among them, they would likely come personally to confirm it.

Thinking of this, the Spike Demon’s heart leapt with joy at encountering a treasure, and he hurriedly approached Cong Shuai: “So, you are the young master of the Blood Punishment Clan. Young Master Duan Jiao, how have you been faring in the Taoyuan World all these years? The Great Lord has always longed for news of his kin. Why haven’t you passed on intelligence to the elder?”

“The Great Lord? Who are you referring to? I don’t understand.”

Cong Shuai was puzzled, as Lu Gou had told him that the Demon Monarchs of the Fear Demon lineage had all perished. How then could there be another Great Lord mentioned by the Spike Demon?

“Of course, I mean the ancestor of your lineage. Gravely injured and on the brink of death, he broke through to the Demon Monarch Realm. Now, he is a member of the Demon Abyss Council. Let’s go, let’s go meet the Frost Wolf Great Lord. Once you see him, you’ll understand.”

The Spike Demon pulled Cong Shuai inside, while the Eight-Armed War Demon stood awkwardly by, knowing nothing about the Blood Punishment Clan and thus simply smiling foolishly at the situation.

“Spike, you mentioned having news earlier. What’s the news?”

The Frost Wolf Demon Monarch and the Five-Headed Demon Servant entered from outside, followed by a few more demons and Wang Xi.

Seeing Wang Xi, Cong Shuai’s eyes narrowed. Wang Xi was the spy arranged by Tang Ming and others beside the old demon of West Desolation. Seeing Wang Xi closely following a demon with five heads, Cong Shuai immediately understood.

No wonder the old demon of West Desolation did many unexpected things; it turns out the old demon of West Desolation was actually a demon of the Demon Clan.

“Great Lord, it’s wonderful news. The War Demon we sent over has returned. Over there, he encountered enemies from the Blood God Plane, and it was this young master of the Blood Punishment Clan who saved him.”

The Spike Demon smiled as he brought Cong Shuai forward for an introduction.

The ten pupils of the Five-Headed Demon Servant constricted, and the Frost Wolf Demon Monarch looked at Cong Shuai in surprise.

A Fear Demon’s head is indeed astonishing.

Years ago, when the three Fear Demon Monarchs fell, the Great Lords of the Demon Abyss Council ordered that the bodies of the Fear Demons be found, alive or dead.

However, the battlefield was too chaotic back then, and three Fear Demons were still missing.

According to the Five-Headed Demon Servant, one of them was a strong person in the Demon Monarch Realm, confirmed to have died at the hands of Lu Gou, and the body became Lu Gou’s treasure.

Judging by Cong Shuai’s soul age, it shouldn’t be too high, meaning he should be the descendant of a living Fear Demon.

“This is truly unbelievable. My Blood Punishment Clan brother, why don’t you contact the Demon Abyss? If Fear knew of your existence, he would surely bring you back to the Demon Abyss for proper training.”

The Frost Wolf Demon Monarch looked at Cong Shuai in amazement and said.

The Five-Headed Demon Servant just snorted: “Frost Wolf Great Lord, let’s talk inside. I think I know why this Blood Punishment brother doesn’t want to return to the Demon Abyss.”

Cong Shuai’s pupils constricted, wondering if his identity had been discovered. No, I have to speak as instructed by the Old Prophet before.

“Great Lord, friends, I only saved this little one for the sake of our lineage. I still have some matters to attend to. If you have some Immortal Rice, please support me with some, and I won’t stay long.”

Cong Shuai looked at Frost Wolf Demon Monarch and Five-Headed Demon Servant with indifference, showing no intention of going inside.

“Well, Brother Five-Headed, what’s going on? Aren’t we tribesmen? Brother, don’t worry, we absolutely won’t harm you.”

The Frost Wolf Demon Monarch stood there awkwardly, looking to the Five-Headed Demon Servant for help.

From the Five-Headed Demon Servant’s words, he could tell that the Five-Headed Demon Servant must know some secrets.

The Five-Headed Demon Servant waved his hand, and the surrounding Inferior Demons left. He coughed: “Frost Wolf is a newly promoted Demon Monarch, and his background shouldn’t be the Fear Great Lord. I am the Attendant Student of Great Lord An Wen. Great Lord An Wen and Great Lord Blood Punishment were very good friends. All these years, I’ve remained in the Taoyuan World, serving as the City Lord of West Desolation City among humans.”

Cong Shuai’s pupils constricted; indeed, this guy was the old demon of West Desolation.

Seeing the change in Cong Shuai’s expression, the Five-Headed Demon Servant’s face also showed a slight smile: “Got it? Let’s go, let’s go inside and talk.”

Cong Shuai hesitated for a moment. Although it was different from what the Old Prophet and Lu Gou had arranged, he still nodded and followed them inside.

Adapting to the situation will make things more real. From the Five-Headed Demon Servant’s words, he learned a crucial piece of information.

The Fear Demon Monarch was called Blood Punishment Demon Monarch, and the current Fear Great Lord seemed to have a poor relationship with Blood Punishment Demon Monarch.

To be precise, the Blood Punishment lineage was the direct lineage of the Fear Demon Monarch. He was a direct descendant, while the Fear Demon Monarch was merely a collateral branch that had grown up. His search for the descendants of Blood Punishment Demon Monarch likely had no good intentions.

The group walked inside together, and the Five-Headed Demon Servant had Cong Shuai sit on the other side of the Frost Wolf Demon Monarch and then waved for people to bring out the Immortal Fruit.

Seeing the Immortal Fruit, Cong Shuai swallowed, and without hesitation, took out two and swallowed them.
