Fan Wubing suddenly realized, "So, the Blood Demon Dao can help me comprehend the Destiny Dao?"

Jiang Sha smiled, "That’s what they say, but it’s quite far off, no need to rush. In the near term, the biggest benefit of your identity as the Blood Demon Lord is being able to attend the Demon Lord’s Assembly."

"..."

"Don’t feel disappointed. I can give you more treasures as a reward for you, okay?"

Fan Wubing pouted, "Are you coaxing me like a child, thinking a piece of candy would work?"

Jiang Sha immediately touched her left index finger to his forehead,

Then, a prompt appeared before his eyes—

["Infernal Flame Heart Technique"]

[Type: Immortal Dao Divine Techniques]

[Grade: Immortal Mid-grade]

[Infernal Flame Heart: When this divine technique is used, it burns the will of all enemies within a certain range, dealing damage equal to 10% of the maximum soul strength per second, with the range depending on soul strength]

Whoa!

The sister technique to the "Infernal Flame Body Technique"?

Fan Wubing immediately grinned widely, saying with a full smile, "Thank you, Sister Sha!"

Jiang Sha laughed, "Giving candy indeed works."

Fan Wubing blushed slightly, "Then how about giving a bit more?"

Jiang Sha replied in a gentle tone, "Candy is for rewards; you have to perform well."

"Alright." Fan Wubing sighed, "If I’d met you sooner, I wouldn’t have had such a hard time." Who doesn’t love a walking treasure trove?

Jiang Sha laughed, "Didn’t you meet me quite early on?"

Fan Wubing paused, suddenly realizing something, gasping and looking at Jiang Sha with wide eyes, "Back then... the one who completely killed Ke You Demon Lord was you!"

Jiang Sha softly said, "Mm."

"Weren’t you both on the same side? Why!"

"Because he learned what he shouldn’t have known."

Fan Wubing immediately understood that Jiang Sha was also implying for him not to ask further.

"Alright. So, how did you see me back then?"

Jiang Sha thought for a moment, "A strange child."

"And now?"

"A strange child."

"... Are you saying I haven’t improved?"

Jiang Sha laughed, "Why not take it as a compliment for sticking to your roots? Don’t always think of the worst."

"Alright."

Jiang Sha is an enigmatic person, like a pair of eyes in the dark, you can never be sure if she is watching you from the shadows. Fan Wubing always felt it was better to stay away from her, but when with her, he felt less pressure. It was strange yet ordinary. He wondered if this feeling was also something she painstakingly curated.

The two of them remained silent within the will of the Celestial Demon for a while.

Fan Wubing asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Nothing more."

"Then why are we still staying here and not leaving?"

Jiang Sha smiled, "Here, I am whole. So, I want to stay a bit longer."

"..." Fan Wubing paused, then said, "Then I’ll stay with you for a while."

Jiang Sha didn’t linger long and left after a while.

When Fan Wubing returned to the Demon Lord Hall, a supreme will suddenly burst from him as the center.

All the Demon Lords felt this will and their pupils shrank, hearts racing, and soon they became devout, like believers in awe of the Celestial Demon’s will.

Soon after, in the hall with the eight thrones, a ninth throne began to slowly appear. Fan Wubing glanced at Jiang Sha, who nodded at him with a smile. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, ascending to the Blood Demon Lord’s throne.

The Beast Demon Dao’s eyes glowed faintly, "Demon Lord’s Throne! He really is the Blood Demon Lord!"

The Rot Demon Lord laughed delicately, "This is truly incredible. The Blood Demon Lord, the legendary Blood Demon Lord."

The Charm Demon Lord’s gaze at Fan Wubing was as intense as a small sun, especially when seeing him sit on the throne, her eyes were almost filled with hearts as she unabashedly said, "I really want to see the Blood Demon Lord rolling his eyes under me!"

The emergence of the Blood Demon Lord was a massive shock to everyone.

Even the Greedy Demon Lord put down his book, looking at Fan Wubing with interest.

The Anger Demon Lord wasn’t concerned with who became the Blood Demon Lord; her eyes were only on the guiding Jiang Sha. So, when everyone’s eyes were on Fan Wubing, hers were solely on Jiang Sha’s face. She distinctly noticed that the way Jiang Sha looked at Fan Wubing had a sense of "affection." For a moment, she felt like something was being taken away from her by Fan Wubing.

And when she looked at Fan Wubing and met his gaze, she was startled, timidly shrinking her neck. She lowered her head, a bitter expression on her face, and couldn’t help but wonder, if she weren’t so timid, would she also be cherished by the Slaughter Demon Lord?

The Flesh Demon Lord did not change his attitude because Fan Wubing became the Blood Demon Lord, and coldly laughed,

"You’ve all been tricked by Jiang Sha!"

The Beast Demon Lord glanced at him, "Flesh Demon Lord, what are you trying to say?"

The Flesh Demon Lord said disdainfully, "Which Demon Lord hasn’t gone through extreme hardship, treading the Path of the Demon Lord over and over to become a Demon Lord? How is it that suddenly some kid shows up, claiming to be the Blood Demon Lord, and you really believe it? Let me say this again, this guy was brought by Jiang Sha, how many times has Jiang Sha fooled us?"

Jiang Sha laughed, "I generally don’t fool fools."

The Flesh Demon Lord stood up, rage surging, "Who are you calling a fool!"

The Greedy Demon Lord quickly laughed to smooth things over, "Hey, let’s avoid meaningless quarrels, don’t forget we’re gathered today to discuss the Path of the Nether Demon Lord."

The Flesh Demon Lord quickly picked up on the topic, "Right, we called the Demon Lord’s Assembly for the Path of the Nether Demon Lord. That time, with the Path of the Demon Lord opening, there was no need for other Demon Lords to discuss in detail." He pointed at Fan Wubing and said, "Who is this so-called Blood Demon Lord, have you seen him before? What has he done to deserve being the Blood Demon Lord!"
