Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 990 - 986: Discovery

Leng Dongge’s handsome face was clouded with gloom as he coldly glared at Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya was about to laugh a few more times, but Leng Yuqing tugged his sleeve sharply, interrupting him.

Leng Tieya had no choice but to stop laughing, shaking his head, "Couldn’t hold it in."

"It’s that funny?!" Leng Dongge snorted, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Leng Tieya said calmly, "You, my brother, are a prime example."

Leng Dongge paused.

Leng Tieya continued, "I don’t want the same outcome as you."

Leng Dongge’s expression darkened, his eyes blazing like fire, glaring intensively at him.

Leng Tieya faced him expressionlessly.

"Family Head," Leng Yuqing sighed, "Let’s just leave it be."

Leng Dongge shot her a glance, then coldly turned back to Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya said, "The Soul Suppressing Seal has already been sent out; it’s too late to regret, no need to say more."

Leng Dongge huffed, "Acted on your own!"

"If I reported everything, could the Leng Family have avenged me? Could they prevent the Lu Family from breaking the engagement?" Leng Tieya snorted.

Leng Dongge paused again.

Regarding the Lu Family breaking the engagement, the crux surely lay in the Leng Family’s lack of strength.

This was not only Leng Tieya’s humiliation but the Leng Family’s shame as well.

Fortunately, Leng Tieya acted in time, defeated Meng Qi, and thus restored his own and the Leng Family’s face.

Leng Tieya said, "Canghai’s Handwriting is already displayed in Canghai Hall, Leng Family disciples can go view it, but those below the Heavenly Demon need not waste their time."

Leng Dongge huffed, "Can Canghai’s Handwriting really help a Heavenly Demon advance to a Great Sky Demon?"

"Who knows?" Leng Tieya said, "And Mr. Chi came to help me; if we really offend him, he’d just leave. Just for this, I’ve lived up to the Leng Family, right?"

"Not bad," Leng Dongge huffed.

Having added a Great Sky Demon as a tribute indeed greatly boosted the Leng Family’s strength.

Having one Great Sky Demon is entirely different from having two.

Leng Tieya said, "I’m heading to the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, Family Head, do you have any advice?"

Hearing his sarcastic tone, Leng Dongge snorted, "I know, you’re blaming me for not passing the Family Head position to you."

Leng Tieya said bluntly, "Why can’t it be passed to me?"

He was straightforward in front of Leng Dongge, wanting to be Family Head simply because he wanted to be Family Head.

Every Leng Family disciple wants to be Family Head, not wanting to is what’s strange.

Leng Dongge said sternly, "Do you think being Family Head is an easy task?"

"Is it a hard task?" Leng Tieya frowned, "So oppressive that you can’t breathe? That’s why you can’t wait to hand over the Family Head position?"

Leng Dongge shook his head, "It seems you think I’m trying to harm you."

Leng Tieya said, "If I don’t become Family Head, would second brother? How could Father bear to harm second brother?"

Leng Dongge said, "Neither of you would be Family Head."

Leng Tieya frowned, "Then who will it be passed to?"

He believed Leng Dongge was biased, but didn’t believe Leng Dongge would harm him.

The Family Head position would rather be passed to an outsider than to the two of them, making him very curious about how troublesome this position could be.

"Let’s see their abilities, compete for the Family Head based on merit."

"They’ll notice the signs."

"Those who desire will take the bait; even knowing this, they wouldn’t give up, and still compete for the position."

Leng Tieya said, "After my great contribution to the family, there should at least be a reward, right?"

"What do you want?"

"...I don’t know," Leng Tieya sighed, "I really don’t know what more the family could give me."

Leng Dongge huffed, "You underestimate our Leng Family!"

Leng Tieya said, "Then tell me, what can you give a Great Sky Demon like me, so I can expand my perspective."

Leng Dongge pondered briefly, "I’ll be back shortly, wait."

He stood up and left directly.

As soon as his figure disappeared, Leng Yuqing fiercely glared at Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya smiled, "Big sister, I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?"

"Why bring up big brother!" Leng Yuqing snapped.

Leng Tieya said, "If I didn’t bring up big brother, he wouldn’t let it go."

"Still shouldn’t have brought up big brother!" Leng Yuqing huffed, "You’ve stepped on a taboo!"

Leng Tieya smiled; he didn’t consider mentioning big brother Leng Baichuan a taboo.

Leng Yuqing said, "Are you really not pursuing the Family Head position anymore?"

"Let’s talk about it another time," Leng Tieya said, "It seems the Family Head position isn’t all that wonderful, I’m just afraid in the future, I’d want to step down and couldn’t."

If he becomes the first in Leng Family in the future, the position of Family Head would be indisputable.

By that time, the Family Head would have no choice but to pass the position on.

He believed that with his own aptitude, plus the main body and Chu Liezhao’s assistance, it wouldn’t be difficult to achieve.

Leng Yuqing speculated with him about how troublesome the Family Head position was, and while they spoke, Leng Dongge returned.

He held a small red box in his hand.

The purplish-red small box seemed ring-sized, exuding a deep purple hue throughout.

He placed it onto the stone table and opened it, revealing a round bead inside.

The round bead was jet black like ink, with a few strands of golden threads shuttling within, moving at a great speed.

As soon as Leng Tieya saw this Black Pearl, his face darkened slightly, frowning, "What is this?"

He suddenly felt a familiar sensation.

A cold yet searing, extraordinarily peculiar aura.

A warning sounded in his mind, urging him to stay away from this Black Pearl.

"This seems like a Beast Pill," Leng Dongge said, "I don’t know from which kind of Demon Beast, it was a rare find from ten years ago."

Leng Tieya took a deep breath, slowly closing the box, "Where did you find it?"

"You don’t like it?" Leng Dongge said, "Then I’ll switch it for something else, ... There are quite a few such peculiar items in the mansion, that’s the heritage of a noble family!"

"Heritage? Then are there any items of the Supreme Heavenly Demon?" Leng Tieya snorted, "Where was this Beast Pill found?"

"...At Dan Yang Peak," Leng Dongge huffed, "I’ve searched all over there, didn’t find traces of this Demon Beast, not knowing how many years have passed after all."

Indeed, the Leng Mansion didn’t have anything of the Supreme Heavenly Demon, in this aspect it’s inferior to Meng Mansion.

Leng Tieya pondered.

He searched Dan Yang Peak’s name in his mind and found it quickly.

Over a thousand miles from Zhongyun City, neither too near nor too far a distance.

Leng Dongge, seeing Leng Tieya’s expression, curiously asked, "What purpose does it serve?"

The Meng Family hadn’t discovered the marvel of Canghai’s Handwriting for so many years, but he did.

This Black Pearl had always sat in the corner of his study, collecting dust, could it be that he discovered its marvel too?

Leng Tieya shook his head, "Any other things found at Dan Yang Peak?"

"Only this."

"That’s good." Leng Tieya sighed in relief, "I’ll take this pearl with me, it can’t be left here."

"What’s wrong with it?" Leng Dongge frowned, "Speak up quickly!"

Leng Tieya shook his head, "Hard to say, I’ll have to ask at the Great Heavenly Demon Palace,... who else in the mansion has interacted with this pearl?"

"I got it back then, couldn’t find its mystery, so left it in the corner, nobody touched it."

"That’s good," Leng Tieya spoke slowly, "Family Head, you’re really fortunate."

"Is it very dangerous?"

"Extremely perilous, best to stay away." Leng Tieya’s face turned grim.

Leng Yuqing said, "If that’s the case, then quickly take it away, go to the Great Heavenly Demon Palace and find out what’s going on."

Leng Dongge looked suspiciously at Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya was too lazy to explain, got up and said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll set off for the Great Heavenly Demon Palace." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Come back often," Leng Yuqing said, "Don’t just disappear without a trace!"

Leng Tieya nodded with a smile.

He then thought of the Black Pearl, vaguely sensing trouble.

Evil Sect Venerable, Outer Heaven Demons.

When he was in Little Outer Heaven, he personally fought with the Venerable Statue, something he’ll never forget.

He always thought they weren’t in Outer Heaven, but in another world.

Now he’s discovered their aura.

Could it be that there are Evil Venerables in this world as well?
