Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 969 - 965: Opinions
Song Lianshuang slightly frowned, looking at him with worry.
Simply breaking off the engagement was already infuriating, but knowing someone deliberately targeted him, disgusted him, it was even more maddening.
If Leng Tieya couldn’t hold back now and went to seek revenge against Meng Qi, it might just be what Meng Qi wanted.
"Meng Qi is now of Heavenly Demon First Grade." Song Zhaozhong patted Leng Tieya’s shoulder: "Hold back a bit, this fellow is cruel and vicious."
If Leng Tieya dared to confront him now, he might at least be crippled, or even lose his life and return to the Demon Abyss.
Returning to the Demon Abyss without reaching the Great Sky Demon level would mean living a life in vain, all in this lifetime would be abandoned, too regrettable.
Song Lianshuang said, "Brother Leng, just pretend you don’t know for now, find a chance and deal with him secretly."
The existence of the Soul Suppressing Seal empowers him extraordinarily, but Meng Qi is a genius of the Meng Family, at Heavenly Demon First Grade, and also a disciple of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace.
Killing him now would mean killing a disciple of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, which would incite a pursuit from them.
Leng Tieya laughed: "I’m currently at Third Grade, too weak, can only endure."
"Yes, endure." Song Zhaozhong said: "Wait until cultivation improves, then consider revenge."
Leng Tieya contemplated silently.
Song Lianshuang frowned and said, "I never expected Meng Qi to use such despicable means, Lu Family is also quite something,... could it be Miss Lu intends to marry Meng Qi?"
Thinking it through, even if Lu Family produced two disciples for the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, there was no need to be so absolute, there’s still a long life ahead.
Only by aligning with the Meng Family’s high branch, would they submit such a pledge.
Song Zhaozhong laughed: "Second sister truly is clever, guessed right immediately."
"Miss Lu really plans to marry Meng Qi?"
"Not Meng Qi, but a disciple of the Meng Family." Song Zhaozhong said: "Meng Qi has standards, how could he fancy Miss Lu?... Moreover, Meng Qi has long had affections."
"Who does he like?" Song Lianshuang asked.
"Junior Sister Qiao." Song Zhaozhong expressed: "She’s deemed the most beautiful in our Great Heavenly Demon Palace, like a fairy descended to earth."
"Junior Sister Qiao..." Song Lianshuang shook her head: "If she’s that beautiful, why haven’t I heard?"
"Junior Sister Qiao is the daughter of an Elder of our Great Heavenly Demon Palace." Song Zhaozhong said: "This Elder is a genius among geniuses, famous from a young age, Junior Sister Qiao not only inherited the Elder’s talents, but even surpasses them,... we’re relying on age to be ahead now, but soon she’ll surpass us."
"So formidable..."
"She never leaves the palace, thus remains unknown, once she does, she’ll quickly become famous, known by everyone."
"With such beauty, there must be many suitors?"
"Aside from those already married, who wouldn’t want to marry Junior Sister Qiao?" Song Zhaozhong shook his head.
"What about you, brother?" Song Lianshuang laughed.
"Me? Haha, I have self-awareness." Song Zhaozhong rubbed his chubby face.
His thick brows and big eyes on a round face weren’t ugly, but certainly not handsome.
Song Lianshuang said: "Brother, though you look plain, your talent extraordinary, and character superb."
"Alright, alright." Song Zhaozhong waved his hand, grinning: "Don’t let Tieya tease me,... Tieya, what will you do?"
"...Go out for a walk." Leng Tieya said: "Set these aside, focus on cultivation, take a turn in the Demon Realm, and also the Human World, broaden the horizons."
"Mm, good idea." Song Zhaozhong nodded: "But be careful in the Human World, a formidable figure has emerged there, Ninth Prince of Jade Dynasty Chu Liezhao, also Twelfth Prince Consort of Phoenix Dynasty, best to keep distance."
"He’s very formidable?" Leng Tieya asked.
He had an inexplicable weird feeling.
Song Zhaozhong sighed: "Very tricky, best to avoid."
Leng Tieya asked: "Won’t the Great Heavenly Demon Palace send masters to eliminate him?"
This was one of the purposes of performing the Heavenly Transmigration Technique on the original host, to understand the Demon World’s movements, especially those targeting himself.
"The Great Heavenly Demon Palace plans to eliminate him." Song Zhaozhong snorted: "Can’t let him act so arrogantly."
"How to eliminate?" Leng Tieya said: "Can’t they send masters directly to kill him?"
"The question is who to send, no one wants to go," Song Zhaozhong said: "Everyone knows he’s hard to deal with, Qinggong is superior, and has incredible instinct for danger, too elusive, too troublesome."
"Masters abound in the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, isn’t there anyone sure to kill him?"
"Heavenly Demon First Grade could, but they’d be weakened to Third Grade upon going, wouldn’t pose a threat to him."
"Must it be Great Sky Demon?"
"Great Sky Demons don’t have to follow Great Heavenly Demon Palace’s orders."
Leng Tieya said: "Great Sky Demons received favors from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, don’t they heed its call, offer help?"
Song Zhaozhong shook his head: "They can listen and assist in other matters, but with this they all avoid."
Leng Tieya frowned: "Because Chu Liezhao is tricky?"
Song Zhaozhong said: "Not just because of that, but also because of Chu Liezhao’s wife Li Miaotan, the Phoenix Bloodline is terrifying,... moreover, it’s quite dangerous for Great Sky Demons in the Human World."
"Dangerous?"
"Once a Great Sky Demon appears in the Human World, they’ll be detected by the Observatories and Fengtian Palace, and besieged, losing the greatest advantage of our Demon Clan."
Leng Tieya said: "Sounds like Chu Liezhao can’t be killed?"
He showed a look eager to try.
Song Zhaozhong quickly urged him to be cautious, not provoke Chu Liezhao, lest he be killed instead.
Too many Demon Clan experts have died at Chu Liezhao’s hand, one less wouldn’t matter.
The eager look on Leng Tieya’s face finally faded, he sighed: "Ok, I’ll be careful."
——
Song Zhaozhong and Song Lianshuang walked side by side on the street, ignoring the surrounding bustle.
Song Lianshuang said: "Brother, you’re not getting along with Meng Qi, right?"
Song Zhaozhong smiled at her: "Second sister, you’re too clever, I can’t stand Meng Qi bullying our Zhongyun City?"
"Brother, you’re not that benevolent." Song Lianshuang said.
Brother’s appearance of honest simplicity was highly deceptive, concealing his cleverness and prowess.
"I really can’t tolerate Meng Qi’s actions." Song Zhaozhong snorted: "Always using sinister methods to plot."
Song Lianshuang nodded.
Song Zhaozhong said: "This Third Young Master Leng, doesn’t match the rumors."
"Hearsay is unreliable," Song Lianshuang said: "Brother Leng is not at all rash and impulsive, rather calm and very formidable."
"Taken a fancy to him?" Song Zhaozhong chuckled: "Why not marry him?"
"Brother—!" Song Lianshuang immediately coquettishly rebuked: "What nonsense are you speaking!"
"Second sister, you’re of marriage age,... though his reputation is ruined now, the Family Head likely won’t agree." Song Zhaozhong sighed: "He’ll find it difficult to marry a good wife."
The reputation’s already tainted, everyone knows of the humiliation he endured, marrying him means sharing in this humiliation, utterly unnecessary.
Moreover, there’s concern he won’t recover from such disgrace and setback, won’t achieve Great Sky Demon level.
Song Lianshuang sighed: "This method is too sinister."
Song Zhaozhong said: "After this ordeal, he’s unlikely to hope to succeed as Family Head anymore, best to leave Zhongyun City, leave this shameful place, start wandering the world, awfully pitiable!"
Song Lianshuang said: "Brother, you feel pity, Brother Leng might not, he could consider it unfettered freedom."
Song Zhaozhong shook his head: "If he can’t avenge this, he won’t become Great Sky Demon, his future is ruined, second sister, you should also spend less time with him."
Song Lianshuang rolled her eyes at him.
