Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Founding Nanlu Demon Sect, The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Fierceness
Translator: 549690339
The Nanlu Mountain Range stretched for hundreds of miles.
To its northwest was a peak approximately three thousand meters high, shrouded in mist and clouds all year round, with breathtaking scenery.
Midway up the mountain, there was a cave abode.
Long Qitian, Li Hanshao, and Wu De knelt in front of the cave, gazing reverentially at a middle-aged man with a mustache-split beard.
“Your two maids are quite pleasing. I, the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch, will reluctantly become the Supreme Elder of the force you’re establishing,” said the Shape-shifting Beast, gently stroking his mustache-split beard with a satisfied smile.
“We’ve seen the Supreme Elder!”
The three of them knelt in unison, their eyes brimming with ecstasy.
“By the way, what’s the name of the force you three are establishing?” the Shape-shifting Beast asked curiously, still fondling his beard.
The three exchanged glances, their expressions odd.
Because they hadn’t actually thought of a name for the force they wanted to create.
Seeing the constipated look on the faces of the Whitefloat Three Heroes, the Shape-shifting Beast harrumphed, “It seems you three are unreliable, not even knowing what force you’re building. You dare to come here and amuse me, you fools!”
“Spare our lives, Demon Lord!”
The three of them hurriedly kowtowed, begging for mercy.
Seeing this, the Shape-shifting Beast gently stroked his beard, looking over the splendid landscape before him, and felt a surge of boldness in his chest, “Well then, since that’s the case, I, the Demon Lord, will personally establish a force. It shall be called… the Nanlu Demon Sect! As for you three, you’ll start off under my command.”
“Yes, we’ve seen the Sect Master!”
The Whitefloat Three Heroes were filled with worry.
Their initial plan had been to have the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch serve as Supreme Elder and step in at crucial moments while they themselves would act as Sect Leaders, holding the real power.
But now, their plan to steal the roost had backfired, and not only had they failed to become the Sect Leader, but they had also inadvertently committed themselves to working for the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch.
Alas!
Thinking of this, the Whitefloat Three Heroes were on the verge of tears.
“What, you’re not happy that I, the Demon Lord, have become the Sect Master?” Seeing the constipated looks on the trio’s faces, the Shape-shifting Beast harrumphed coldly.
The Whitefloat Three Heroes immediately kowtowed and said, “No, we’re delighted. Congratulations to the Sect Master, and we hope that the Sect Master’s cultivation will advance further, leading us to take over Whitefloat City and create a true star-level force!”
“Why should we take over Whitefloat City?” The Shape-shifting Beast showed a look of doubt; he had seen the dangers of Whitefloat City before and did not dare to make trouble there.
On hearing that they couldn’t attack Whitefloat City, Long Qitian and the other two were dumbfounded.
What was the point of establishing the Nanlu Demon Sect if they couldn’t go into the city and strut their stuff?
Seeing that the trio didn’t speak, the Shape-shifting Beast waved his hand, “Alright, you may go now. The Demon Lord wants to rest, heh heh heh!”
After speaking, the Shape-shifting Beast blew a breath and sent Long Qitian and the others flying out, then proceeded deeper into the cave with a smile resembling that of a lecherous man.
At the foot of the mountain.
Long Qitian, Li Hanshao, and Wu De had nothing to say to each other.
“Li Hanshao, it was your lousy idea to invite the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch to be Supreme Elder. And what happened? We can’t even be the Sect Leader now, and I lost my two maids in the process!” Long Qitian angrily shook his sleeve.
Wu De paced back and forth, unsure of what to do next.
Li Hanshao clenched his fists tightly, his head hung low; suddenly, he heard the roar of a tiger in the distance, and his eyes lit up. “We haven’t lost out after all!” he exclaimed.
Wu De scratched his head, asking, “What do you mean?”
Li Hanshao revealed a cunning smile, “Idiot! Don’t you understand the principle of borrowing the tiger’s fierceness? From now on, we’ll act in the name of the Nanlu Demon Sect and declare that the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch is the Sect Master. Who would dare disrespect us?”
After all, the Nanlu Demon Sect had already been established, and with the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch as Sect Master, they could leverage his reputation to get things done.
“Brilliant!” Realizing this, Long Qitian clapped his hands together.
Wu De raised his eyebrows before giving a thumbs up.
Afterward, the three exchanged glances, each of them letting out a “gaga gaga” bizarre laugh.
Whitefloat City.
Long Tianxing, dressed in a black robe.
After inquiring for quite some time, he heard that Long Qitian had once visited a brothel named “Liuxiang Pavilion,” so he decisively stepped inside.
“Oh! Young man, you’re not old enough to be here, you shouldn’t come to this place!” a female worker at Liuxiang Pavilion said in a coquettish voice.
“Sister, could you wear a bit more clothes? Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?” Long Tianxing eyed the woman, having never seen such a scene before, and suddenly swallowed hard.
“Giggle giggle giggle, you really are too young, you don’t understand anything. Hurry along now, we can’t do business with you.” The woman grabbed Long Tianxing’s shoulder and started to push him outside.
“I’m here to find someone!” Long Tianxing quickly explained his intention, “I’m looking for my cousin Long Qitian, to persuade him to repent and turn over a new leaf.”
The patrons around, hearing this statement, thought Long Tianxing was trying to get Long Qitian to stop coming to the brothel. They all laughed and said, “That guy is beyond redemption, a lost cause!”
Long Tianxing assumed they meant that Long Qitian would never give up his evil ways, so he stamped his foot on the ground, unleashing the aura of Qi Refinement Level Six to intimidate everyone present, “No, I can beat him into submission!”
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.
“My goodness, he’s an Immortal Master!”
Many patrons were so frightened that they hid under the tables, shivering, and the scene suddenly descended into chaos.
“People of Liuxiang Pavilion, heed my words. From today onward, your establishment belongs to the Nanlu Demon Sect. Anyone who dares to disobey, step forward… Eh, it’s you!”
A familiar voice came from outside Liuxiang Pavilion.
The person wasn’t there yet, but the voice had already resonated throughout the establishment, yet it abruptly stopped before he could finish speaking.
That was because Long Qitian, the speaker, was already standing in front of the entrance to Liuxiang Pavilion, and upon seeing Long Tianxing, his expression changed drastically.
“Long Tianxing, it’s you again!” Wu De also appeared, pointing at Long Tianxing and cursing loudly.
“You people from the Misty Sect really are like bad pennies!” Li Hanshao too showed up at the scene, and upon seeing Long Tianxing, he was immediately filled with anger.
“It seems I didn’t beat you into submission the last time!” Long Tianxing released a strong aura, and a Vitality Bullet blasted out.
“Let’s gang up and thrash him!” Long Qitian leaped into the air, first dodged the Vitality Bullet, then immediately cast a First Grade Spell known as Vajra Palm, his palm as tough as metal, striking toward Long Tianxing.
Wu De and Li Hanshao attacked simultaneously, and the three of them, at the peak of Qi Refinement Level Five, took action together, creating blinding lights and fierce energy surges, which blew away the tables and chairs in Liuxiang Pavilion, sending everyone around flying haphazardly.
Since the floor was covered in marble tiles, Long Tianxing was unable to use Earth Escape. Instead, he switched to using Binding Spirit Rope, twining the light rope around the wooden beams of the ceiling. With a strong pull, he ascended into mid-air.
The Whitefloat Three Heroes lunged into empty space.
Long Tianxing immediately seized the opportunity, firing a Vitality Bullet at each person, taking them all down, then used Binding Spirit Rope to entangle Long Qitian and the other two, completing the “Triple Kill” successfully.
“We are disciples of the Nanlu Demon Sect, and the Sect Master is the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch. How dare you touch us, are you looking for death?” Li Hanshao screamed at the top of his lungs.
“Thousand Faces Demon Monarch!” The patrons around, upon hearing this, all turned pale with fear.
“Who is the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch?” Long Tianxing was stunned and turned to ask the crowd.
“Immortal Master, the Thousand Faces Demon Monarch is a powerful being in the Element Gathering Realm; you really mustn’t provoke him!” said a fat man clad in a brocade robe with a look of reverence on his face.
“So, it’s the Element Gathering Realm. Although that’s very powerful, I am under the Sect Leader’s orders—I swear to make Long Qitian repent and reform or else, I will beat him into submission,” Long Tianxing said without hesitation and started beating Long Qitian relentlessly.
“Cousin, stop it, please!”
“Cousin, I know I was wrong, I will change!”
“Stop hitting me, it hurts!”
“Brother, you are the true brother, please stop!”
No matter how piteously Long Qitian cried out, Long Tianxing did not cease his assault until he had beaten Long Qitian so severely that he was twitching at the corners of his mouth and frothing at the mouth.
