Chapter 2747 - 54: Snake Maiden Gazing in the Mirror_3

Suddenly, he halted his movement, stopped in his tracks, and pointed a sword he bought by the roadside obliquely towards the ground.

The hem of his garment shattered the evening breeze, and the sharp intent to kill was held back.

The Gale Killing Sword was in its prime, and the iron sword discussed avidly by many demons was not to be revealed when concealing one’s identity.

Coincidentally, from the opposite direction came a large, masked figure clad in night clothes. This fellow also had his face covered but carried two straight knives on his back—

A name suddenly emerged in Chai Asi’s mind, the Peaceful Ghost Messenger of the sect-destroying, deity-slaying renown!

It was said this demon travels with dual knives at night, leaving no trace of deities or ghosts wherever he went.

He grew vigilant but showed no fear.

This fellow had the power to slay deities, which was formidable. But with the Ancient God by his side, what was there to fear?

The two who met during this long night journey were originally strangers, but encountering each other in such circumstances left both inevitably wary. Neither knew if the other harbored any hostility or was intentionally blocking the path.

The hand holding the knife and the one gripping the sword remained equally steady.

The tension in the air was palpable, and a fight could break out at any second.

"Don’t make things more complicated, move!"

The same command resonated in the minds of the two demons, albeit from different identities.

Chai Asi shifted left with his sword, seeing the masked, large demon also move aside.

Both silently widened the distance between them and, after passing through the dark alley, sped away from each other.

The Peaceful Ghost Messenger hadn’t appeared for several days, hadn’t he? It was said he was being hunted relentlessly by the Black Lotus Temple, unable to find a place to hide. Why show up tonight, and for which Evil God? Or is he planning to risk everything against the Black Lotus Temple?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, but Chai Asi wasn’t in the mood to watch the show as he continued towards his destination.

...

Night had deepened.

The Blood Moon hung high.

A shadow slinked sneakily to the exterior of an elegant courtyard. After ensuring no one was around, it flipped over into the courtyard.

His movement was exceptionally graceful, the entire process silent.

But as soon as he landed in the courtyard, he raised both hands.

Because a thin sword was already pointing at his throat.

The sword-wielding demon was dressed in elegant clothes, looking suave and dashing. It was none other than the newly crowned king on the Heavenly List, Lu Qilang.

The speed of this sword was too fast, leaving no time to react.

The thin sword at his throat only needed to advance slightly, and his life as a demon would end.

Yet Chai Asi, who came here masked, felt calm and composed inside.

With the Ancient Divine Mirror by his side, what did he have to fear? Whatever the sense of inspiration king, if you truly want to kill me, the Great Ancient God would not sit idly by! Even pressing you to death with one finger would be excessive.

Of course, his eyes still showed a hint of fear.

Chai Asi surrendered with raised hands, his tone tense and urgent: "King, Little Monster visits deep into the night to report an urgent matter!"

He had figured it all out during the daytime at the inn.

The reason for sneaking into the Fruit and Flower Club was to use the route of the Moyun Ape Family to enter the upper echelons of Mo Yun City.

But Yuan Mengji was blatantly using him, planning to discard him after use.

This path not only failed but became a shackle on his back.

If he wants to leave the Moyun Ape Family now and switch allegiance, who could be trusted? Who would be willing to offend the Ape Family for him? How many choices are there in Mo Yun City?

But the current Mo Yun City was not limited to the few of the past!

Isn’t Lu Qilang, whom Yuan Mengji aims for, also an option?

What does the Moyun Ape Family have to compare with the Divine Scented Deer Family?

How does Yuan Mengji compare to Lu Qilang?

If Chai Asi, the Destiny Monster, must temporarily bow to evil forces, and needs a powerful backer during his development stage... Is it not clear whom he should cling to?

Even if he has to endure humiliation, there’s no need to put up with that fool Yuan Mengji, right?

So... King Lu, I, Chai Asi, have come to pledge allegiance!

Lu Qilang wasn’t concerned with the mood of this uninvited guest; he simply lifted his thin sword lightly, cutting through the veil to reveal Chai Asi’s rather ordinary face.

"Who are you?"

"Chai Asi, the Gale Killing Sword Chai Asi. Recently participating in the Jin Yang Martial Contest." Chai Asi confidently announced his name.

Lu Qilang raised an eyebrow: "What’s the matter?"

Chai Asi put on a troubled expression: "This matter involves Little Monster’s life, but after careful consideration, I decided to report it to the King."

Lu Qilang sheathed his sword with disdain and walked towards the room: "If it’s something difficult to say, then don’t say it."

Chai Asi realized clearly that this king of inspiration was far beyond the likes of Yuan Mengji and didn’t buy into his act at all.

He immediately dropped his affected demeanor and hastily caught up: "Yuan Mengji plans to target the Akatsuki King by gathering experts to snatch food from your mouth. He has already contacted me to slay the Akatsuki King in my name, preventing any disputes between you and the Ape Family."

Lu Qilang, upon hearing just this, understood the whole story and chuckled: "Yu Xin’s bait only caught him? It seems the most foolish young master of Mo Yun City is indeed this Yuan Mengji. To have a clever Little Monster like you under such a guy is quite rare... but the gate of the Divine Scented Deer Family isn’t so easily entered."

This was an implicit acceptance of allegiance but required Chai Asi’s continued performance.

"I am determined to win a top ten position in the Mo Yun City Jin Yang Martial Contest." Chai Asi immediately demonstrated his worth: "Regarding the Akatsuki King situation, I can also continue to feign cooperation with Yuan Mengji, providing you with intelligence, and even backstab at a critical moment!"

Lu Qilang laughed, casually tossing over a jade bottle.

Seeing Chai Asi scramble to catch it, Lu Qilang then leisurely walked towards the room: "This Elixir for enhancing your foundation is a reward for you. Go back now."

See, what does it mean to be magnanimous? What truly defines a noble family?

Chai Asi was overjoyed, showering flattery at the retreating figure.

But Lu Qilang, who truly didn’t listen to flattery, had disappeared into the courtyard after a few steps.
