Chapter 227 Gu Ba: Grabbing Territory? It’S Better To Grab Wang Xiu! (7200 Words)
Chapter 227: Gu Ba: Seize territory? Better to seize Wang Xiu! (7200 words)
The communication token in front of Wang Xiu kept ringing more and more frequently.
A large number of people were sending him private messages.
They were willing to pay a high price for accurate information.
Wang Xiu had been ignoring them, so they kept sending messages, becoming more and more anxious.
The Demon Dao side was already in chaos.
Everyone wanted to know firsthand information to facilitate their planning.
The higher-ups offered unimaginably generous rewards.
It was said that whoever could obtain Wang Xiu's head would be rewarded with a baptism of true demon blood, allowing them to undergo a rebirth and potentially obtain true demon bloodline, soaring to the sky.
It should be noted that the bloodline of an adult true demon is comparable to that of the top human experts.
It is no weaker than an Earth Immortal.
It is a transformation on the level of life, with astonishing benefits.
Finally, Wang Xiu replied nonchalantly: [I've changed my mind now, the previous conditions are not enough! You need to sweeten the deal!]
"Don't go too far!"
"Are the materials for refining an Earth Immortal artifact not enough? Is the blood of a pure-blooded divine beast descendant not enough? What else do you want? Don't tell me you want an Earth Immortal artifact directly?"
"The previous conditions were already the limit, don't think your information is so rare, we can get it too!"
"..."
The demonic group was furious. This guy actually raised the price at the last minute?
Did he take them for fools?
Wang Xiu directly responded in the chat group: [There are still a few days before Three Purities Saint Child comes down the mountain, no rush, take your time to consider! I can only tell you that every day that passes, the price of what I want increases by ten percent...]
After saying this, no matter how much of a storm was stirred up in the chat group, Wang Xiu didn't care.
He directly closed the chat group.
Logged off.
Then, using another Nascent Soul demonic cultivator's communication token, he logged into the chat group.
To check the situation inside the group.
Black Heaven Sect's sixth elder: [Don't go too far! Leave a way out for yourself, we'll meet again in the future!]
Gambling Heaven Pavilion's thirteenth elder: [Even if we give you the things, can you keep them? You should know your own capabilities!]
Mysterious Nether Sect's eighth elder: [He logged off!]
Black Heaven Sect's sixth elder: [Damn it, does he really think he has us in the palm of his hand?]
Wang Xiu only said that he would increase the price on the original basis, but didn't say by how much.
This was the most frightening.
Not mentioning the conditions often made them more frightening than the conditions stated openly, and it was likely that they couldn't bear it.
Gambling Heaven Pavilion's thirteenth elder: [But now, he's the only one who knows about the information, and it seems to be accurate for now!]
Black Heaven Sect's sixth elder: [I always feel that there's something strange about this. The route of Three Purities Saint Child's actions should be top secret. How could someone else know? Could it be that someone from the righteous path is fishing?]
Gambling Heaven Pavilion's thirteenth elder: [Of course, there's a possibility like that. Even if we want to trade, we must verify their identity to avoid not knowing how we died!]
Mysterious Nether Sect's eighth elder: [Are you planning to trade?]
Gambling Heaven Pavilion's thirteenth elder: [How is that possible? I, in my entire life, hate being blackmailed the most. This kid has gone crazy with greed. When the time comes, I'll let him have the money but not the life to use it!]
[Ding!]
Detected someone nearby bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +233 mana!
Black Heaven Sect Elder Six: Not bad, I never trade with people like him. Let's maintain a united front and not contact him... He wants to raise the price, so we'll let his information rot in our hands. When he panics, he'll naturally be willing to make a move!
Ding!
Detected someone nearby bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +255 mana!
Senior Elder of the White Bone Sect: Support! Although I'm not a good person, I am definitely a principled demon. I refuse to raise the price!
Ding!
Detected someone nearby bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +233 mana!
Ninth Elder of the Venomous Gate: Same here! I can't stand his bad habits!
Ding!
Detected someone nearby bragging, congratulations to the host for gaining +266 mana!
"..."
Wang Xiu listened to this series of system prompts with a strange expression.
Subconsciously, he took out the communication token he had just received and opened it. Sure enough... private messages had already been sent to him one by one.
Elder Six of the Black Heaven Sect: Brother, I was abrupt earlier. With these conditions, I agree, but you must promise me... not to sell the information to others!
Thirteenth Elder of the Gambling Heaven Pavilion: At a glance, I can tell that Fellow Daoist is not an ordinary person. I accept these conditions and consider it making a friend, but we must trade face to face!
Ninth Elder of the Venomous Gate: Brother, take a look at whether my sincerity is enough?
"..."
Along with the chat messages, there were also pictures sent, mostly lists that listed a large number of rare treasures.
None of them were ordinary items; each one was extremely rare.
But Wang Xiu could tell at a glance that these villains were being cunning and playing tricks on him.
The so-called Earth Immortal materials did not necessarily mean they were core materials for Earth Immortal artifacts. Some materials used to refine ordinary Saint Weapons could also be added when refining Earth Immortal artifacts.
They were just using these to make up the numbers.
Wang Xiu simply replied: Not enough!
Not only was it not enough, but he also would not accept selling the information to only one party.
If they wanted to compete, they would compete to see who could offer a sufficient price first and be the first to obtain accurate information from him.
He would not accept any sealing of the deal.
All parties increased their offers once again.
The rarity of the items reached a new level, diverse enough to make any demonic cultivator's eyes greedy.
Wang Xiu still replied: Not enough!
...
Black Heaven Sect.
In the main hall.
"How is it? Did he agree?" The Black Heaven Sect Master sat high up, his gaze disdainful, exuding a fierce aura. Behind him was an endless darkness, an astonishing presence.
As an old and top-tier force in the demonic sect, the Black Heaven Sect's background was astonishing and difficult to estimate.
Those who could become the sect master not only had reached the Saint Manifestation realm in terms of strength but also possessed means far beyond ordinary people.
"He didn't agree, Sect Master. He said it's still not enough!" Below, Elder Six held the communication token, his face full of bitterness.
"Not enough? Ask him what he wants!" the Black Heaven Sect Master said.
"We asked, but he didn't say. He just told us to keep raising the price!"
"Then you tell him, this is the limit, if he doesn't sell, forget it!" The Black Heaven Sect Master was furious. It had been a long time since anyone dared to play such tricks in front of him. It was simply infuriating. If that guy were in front of him, he would definitely tear him into pieces.
"...Master, he completely ignored me!" Elder Liu's face was filled with distress.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall erupted in commotion.
The other side seemed very confident, not worried at all that the information wouldn't sell.
"Now the initiative is in his hands. If we don't buy, someone else will!" In a corner of the hall, a shadow slowly twisted and emitted a grating voice, completely silent.
If it didn't speak, no one would know that there was still someone in that shadow.
"So, what do you mean?" The Black Heaven Sect Master looked towards the shadow and asked.
"Tell him that the price can still be negotiated, but it must be done face-to-face, not through communication tokens. The sincerity is not enough!" the shadow said.
"If we add more, I'm afraid it will exceed what I can bear!" The Black Heaven Sect Master pondered.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of the goods!"
"..."
...
Similar scenes were happening in various Great Demon Sects.
Almost all the demonic sects expressed a similar attitude.
The price can be negotiated, but not through communication tokens. It must be done face-to-face. Everyone needs to sit down and talk. Such a big deal can't be understood through communication tokens!
And even if it's settled like this, the transaction still needs to be done face-to-face.
No difference!
Wang Xiu agreed, but added a condition that he must trade face-to-face with a big figure from the Demon World.
Or rather, the attitude he expressed was that he only wanted to negotiate with big figures from the Demon World.
He didn't want anyone to intervene in between.
Either that, or there's no need to talk!
Without much hesitation, the other party agreed, and both sides agreed on a time and place. Wang Xiu put away the communication token.
That night.
Wang Xiu left behind an incarnation of his divine soul at Spirit Turtle Peak.
His true body quietly left Three Purities Immortal Gate through a teleportation array.
...
Blackwater City.
Located in the wilderness, in a remote location, a lonely ancient city stood. Under the city walls, there were piles of bones, forming small mountains.
The soil beneath their feet was a deep brown color.
It was rumored that this place was once extremely prosperous, but a great ancient battle broke out, and millions of lives perished. The resentment and death energy here were overwhelming, turning it into a ghost city.
Mortals dare not live here, and righteous cultivators find this place ominous.
But people from the Demon Dao find it just right.
So it became the most famous demonic den, where all sorts of notorious Demonic Cultivators, known far and wide, could be seen.
Wang Xiu walked on the streets of Blackwater City.
At this moment, he was dressed in a black robe, exuding a cold and evil aura. He blended in perfectly with the surroundings.
Under the black veil of his hat, were a pair of eyes as calm as an ancient well, as if they had seen through the vicissitudes of the world, the changes of the sea.
Even the surrounding evil deeds have been done, self-proclaimed as a fully accomplished Demonic Cultivator.
Encountering him, people instinctively move aside, feeling timid, secretly wondering where this Great Demon came from.
This aura, at the very least, has taken the lives of tens of thousands?
Suddenly, he stops in the middle of the street, slowly raises his head, and without any warning, slaps his palm.
Boom!
In an instant, runes fill the sky, strange demonic patterns brand the void, transforming into a gigantic demonic claw, reaching towards the darkness, directly shattering a courtyard and capturing a few figures.
"What terrifying demonic cultivation!"
"Who is this person? With such strength, he is definitely not ordinary!"
"I have never heard of a Great Demon like this within the South State territory!"
"..."
All the Demonic Cultivators are shocked. This overwhelming Heavenly Demon aura, if it were a human, how far would they have cultivated their demonic cultivation? What kind of terrifying disaster have they caused?
"Who... who are you? What do you want? Release us quickly!"
"Do you know who we are? If you don't release us, be careful of losing your heads!"
The few captured Demonic Cultivators have a bewildered expression, filled with fear in their hearts, but they boast arrogantly.
Boom!
Wang Xiu waves his hand, and several heads explode directly, blood splattering everywhere.
Only one survivor remains.
The group of evil beings trembles in fear. Without any hesitation, he kills people, cruel and bloody. He is indeed an old demon.
"I've come to make a deal. Where are the people?" Wang Xiu speaks with a cold and indifferent voice, carrying a hint of wickedness.
Since he entered Blackwater City, someone has been watching him.
He arrived at this place, and his divine sense silently spread throughout half of Blackwater City, but he did not discover a single trace of a true Demon Race.
Obviously, those Demon Race members are still very cautious and hiding deep, instead sending a group of human Demonic Cultivators to first investigate Wang Xiu's background.
Afraid that he is an undercover agent from the righteous path!
"What deal? I don't know what you're talking about!" The only survivor tries to argue, but Wang Xiu directly crushes his head with one hand, instantly reading his soul.
Afterward, he changes direction and walks towards a building in the city.
Along the way, he summons a gigantic blood-red skull, releasing a boundless Blood Sea that covers the sky.
Wherever it passes, all the Demonic Cultivators in the vicinity, once caught in it, will die and turn to ashes.
That is not a Law Treasure, but a condensation of spell runes.
It is an extremely astonishing demonic cultivation technique.
"Ah—"
"Where did this madman come from? Killing people at the sight of them?"
"Just like those brutes from the Asura Sect, if someone even glances at him, he wants to kill!"
"Who looked at him? I didn't even look at him!"
"..."
All the Demonic Cultivators are filled with fear, fleeing in all directions, in a panic and disarray, cold sweat pouring down.
On this day, Blackwater City encounters a great calamity.
Countless demonic cultivators are cleansed.
Finally, arriving in front of that attic, there were hundreds of demonic cultivators here, standing in formation, seemingly waiting for him.
Above the attic, four figures looked down.
One of them was a woman, enchanting and alluring, dressed provocatively, seemingly only wearing a few ribbons that couldn't cover anything.
A group of demonic women from the Joyous Union Sect, easily recognizable.
Wang Xiu slowly raised his head, looking at the four people, without saying a word.
"You're not a Ghost Dao person!" Among the four, a man dressed in white lightly shook his folding fan, appearing relaxed, but speaking with a feminine tone.
He was known as the White Cloud Gentleman.
He sounded noble and upright, once a young master of a prestigious family.
Because his family was not harmonious since childhood.
He detested any relationship between men and women, feeling that there shouldn't be these two genders in the world. He had a sudden idea to merge the two genders into one.
To verify his idea, the number of men and women who died by his hands was already countless.
From infants to adults.
Even the elderly, he didn't discriminate.
Later, he actually researched something, which was said to have been used on himself.
He had a notorious reputation and was already well-known on the wanted lists of major Immortal Gates.
His strength was extremely strong, an experienced Astral Projection stage demonic cultivator.
Chilling.
"What does it matter?" Wang Xiu was indifferent. Ghost Dao person was just his pseudonym in the group, the real person had long been completely exposed by him.
"Even your identity is concealed, how can we trust you to do business with us?" the White Cloud Gentleman said softly, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Originally, I didn't plan to do business with you!" Wang Xiu said.
"A big shot from the Demon World isn't someone anyone can meet! Your demands are too many and too verbose. If you directly reveal the information, maybe you can leave alive today..." another person sneered.
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining +666 mana!]
Obviously, they had no intention of doing any business and planned to forcibly seize it.
"Giggle~ Don't scare others! This young master, you just need to tell us the information. After we verify its authenticity, we won't shortchange you! At least, I can accompany you and have some fun..." the Joyous Union Sect demonic woman laughed coquettishly, her voice carrying a bewitching charm that made one's blood boil. Her charm technique was obviously well-practiced.
However, the next moment, she couldn't laugh anymore.
"Has no one ever told you that your laughter is very unpleasant?" this voice suddenly sounded in the Joyous Union Sect demonic woman's ear.
Wang Xiu had disappeared without anyone noticing, appearing behind the four people.
All four were shocked, their hearts skipping a beat, unable to figure out how he had done it.
Boom!
The ninth elder of the Joyous Union Sect, also an Astral Projection stage demonic cultivator, reacted quickly, disregarding the exposure of her spring scenery. She raised her hand and released a sea of pink mist formed by Heavenly Demon patterns, eroding people's hearts with boundless power.
She seemed to dance in place, waves of seductive curves one after another.
As if all the male creatures in the world would lose their minds and be controlled by desire upon seeing this scene.
Yellow Springs Annihilation Hand!
Wang Xiu made his move, demonic energy surged throughout his body, dense and intense, the sky filled with a strong aura of death. He extended a giant palm, directly piercing through the sea of mist.
The ninth elder of the Joyous Union Sect screamed and spat out blood, flying backward.
Immediately after, a hand grabbed her long hair, pulling her back and stepping on her.
With one kick, the body of the ninth elder of the Joyous Union Sect was completely crushed.
At the same time, a pitch-black vortex rose from above, crazily absorbing the essence and mana of the ninth elder of the Joyous Union Sect, ultimately devouring her completely, leaving nothing behind.
All of this happened extremely quickly, in the blink of an eye.
The three people next to him, Baiyun Gongzi and the others, only had time to make one move each before they were blocked by Wang Xiu. They also witnessed the violent death of the ninth elder of the Joyous Union Sect!
The three of them were instantly shocked, their eyes filled with fear as they stared at Wang Xiu: "Who are you?"
The demonic power of this person in front of them was extremely terrifying and bizarre.
They had never heard of it before.
But it was unexpectedly powerful!
The people of the Joyous Union Sect, although not skilled in combat, were at least Almighties in the Astral Projection stage. Yet, they didn't even have time to use their Law Treasures and were refined to death.
Almost instantly killed!
Wang Xiu didn't waste any more words with them and attacked directly.
He had previously obtained several secret techniques from Gu Ba of the Demon Race. They were usually not easy to use, but now, when he displayed them, he had no reservations.
Suddenly, demonic energy surged like the sea, covering the sky and earth, pressing down.
The few people were shocked. Wang Xiu was too strong, beyond their expectations. Even if they joined forces, they might not be his match.
"Calm down, this is a misunderstanding. Our tone just now was wrong!"
"We can help you contact important figures from the Demon World, don't act impulsively!"
"..."
They panicked, but it was too late. Wang Xiu was like a demon god in this world, suppressing the three of them with overwhelming force. In a short period of time, he killed them all, refining their blood and turning it into pure energy to nourish himself.
Boom!
The building collapsed and turned into ruins.
Blackwater City fell silent.
Countless demonic cultivators hid in the darkness, trembling with fear. Everything that had just happened frightened them.
"Tell the people behind you that if they want to do business, they should come with sincerity!" Wang Xiu sat casually on top of the ruins, speaking casually and strangely, as if talking to the air.
In the shadows, several figures disappeared quickly.
"Oh my god! Who is this person? There is actually such a great demon in the South State?"
"Baiyun Gongzi and the others have been acting recklessly in the South State for so many years, but they haven't been caught by the major Immortal Gates. Now they actually fell here!"
"To single-handedly take on four opponents, destroying them effortlessly, this is too strong!"
"It is said that he made a deal with the people from various Great Demon sects to trade information about the Three Purities Saint Child, only doing business with important figures from the Demon World. But the various Great Demon sects went back on their word and only sent a few demonic cultivators. Now they have all failed!"
"Those important figures from the Demon World also have concerns. This person's identity is doubtful. It's hard to say that he's not a spy from the righteous path, fishing for information!"
"A spy from the righteous path? Are you kidding? This person is more like a demon than anyone else. I even suspect that he also came from the Demon World. His demonic skills are terrifyingly powerful, killing people like slaughtering pigs..."
"He definitely can't be a spy!"
In Blackwater City, countless people were discussing.
Wang Xiu's demonic skills were too powerful. When he displayed them, the demonic energy was overwhelming, covering the sky and sun. This kind of thing couldn't be faked.
Moreover, his methods were ruthless, even more so than a demon lord.
He killed anyone he saw!
Even when righteous cultivators subdue demons and eliminate evil, they at least let people understand why they were killed! But Wang Xiu didn't. He was undoubtedly a killing god!
Those with discerning eyes can see that Wang Xiu has cultivated several extremely powerful Demon Dao techniques, all of which he has achieved great proficiency in.
To reach such a level of cultivation in Demon Dao techniques, it is impossible without doing things that even the heavens cannot tolerate.
This is the most difficult aspect of being a righteous Daoist going undercover in Demon Dao.
When you succeed in going undercover, it is also difficult to maintain purity in your heart!
Even if your heart is pure, your body is not clean!
...
"They were all killed? So quickly?"
The various Great Demon sects quickly received the news and were all shocked. Although they did not send their strongest experts, people like Bai Yun and others were already formidable, yet they were directly killed.
"He is so arrogant, directly slaughtering almost half of Blackwater City and shouting at us from a distance!"
"Based on the current situation, although his identity is unclear, the possibility of him being an undercover agent from the righteous path is unlikely!"
"If that's the case, why not go and meet him? Bring some good things with you. It's not certain if a real deal will be made, so let's observe and see if he trades with someone else first!"
The members of the Black Heaven Cult discussed, and the hidden group of Demon Race in the shadows made the decision to go.
"What a decisive person, it makes me itch~"
Inside the Joyous Union Sect, a succubus with a crimson tongue licked her lips, staring at the image stone in front of her with desire in her eyes. Her body curves were explosive, only covered by a thin veil that could not conceal her exquisite figure, appearing and disappearing.
"This person doesn't seem easy to provoke, and I don't know what special means he has. We should be careful! Or maybe I should accompany you?"
Behind a hazy veil, a figure with extreme charm lay on its side, with astonishing curves.
That was the sect master of the Joyous Union Sect, who had not revealed her true face for a long time and was most proficient in the arts of yin and yang.
But when it came to seduction, she was still inferior to the succubus in front of her.
"Hehehe, just a human, no matter how strong he is, how strong can he be? Besides, he is a man..." The succubus giggled, twisting her alluring curves and slowly disappearing into a teleportation array.
"He is just one person, he can't stir up much trouble. It's good to go and see!"
The other Great Demon sects also sent Demon Race members, bringing a large number of elite experts.
But they had an unspoken agreement that the top figures of each Great Demon sect did not make a move.
The powerful experts above the Saint Manifestation stage also remained silent.
They were the foundation of each Great Demon force and would not act easily. Once they made a move... they had to be prepared for an endless battle with the righteous path.
Now is obviously not the time!
The news spread.
The previously almost silent Blackwater City became lively again.
More and more powerful individuals gathered here, causing turmoil. Every once in a while, a demonic sect would descend, led by powerful Demon Race experts, causing a sensation.
But despite the sensation, the Demon Sects still acted cautiously. An invisible formation covered the sky and earth, preventing any movement or sound from transmitting outside.
There must be spies from the righteous path in Blackwater City.
Until the trade is completed, all means of transmitting messages will be blocked.
The first to be affected is the communication tokens.
The ruins of that attic were crowded with people.
Everyone looked from a distance at Wang Xiu, who was leaning against a pillar, as if he was cultivating with closed eyes, whispering to each other.
"You, kid, it's a pity you didn't become a demon!"
A voice sounded within Wang Xiu.
It was the Demon Emperor Gu Ba.
Wang Xiu did not completely refine him, but temporarily sealed him. After all, losing such a cheat that can infinitely gain experience would be a real pity.
"Do you think I can become a demon?" Wang Xiu asked in return.
"Your methods are even more demonic than demons themselves!" Gu Ba sneered, watching as Wang Xiu displayed various demonic techniques, brutally killing many demonic cultivators.
Now, he had to dig pits for the major Demon Races, making them jump into their own graves.
It's a pity that these Demon Races were still unaware. They probably still believed that they could control the situation, not knowing what kind of monster they were about to face.
"I'm targeting your own kind, but you don't seem angry?" Wang Xiu curiously asked.
"Own kind? Hahaha, the Demon World has countless bloodlines, and the major clans constantly wage war against each other. It has never stopped for thousands of years. Where does 'own kind' come from?" Gu Ba, the Demon Emperor, sneered.
Wang Xiu had heard a lot from him, and he knew that the situation in the Demon World was also very complicated.
But he thought that since the major Demon Races could unite and attack the Ashen Essence World, they should have some sense of alliance.
"But if they fail, won't your plan to invade the Ashen Essence World be abandoned?" Wang Xiu asked.
"If it's abandoned, then so be it. What's the big deal?" Gu Ba, the Demon Emperor, shrugged, seemingly indifferent.
According to what he said, the Demon World was vast, and spatial cracks and passages leading to other small worlds were often discovered. So when a Demon Race discovered a passage, they would launch an attack on the other side of the passage.
This was a common occurrence in the Demon World. They were born for war and slaughter.
But... in the end, what was the purpose of this war and slaughter?
"In the end, all races are fighting for their own living space!" At this moment, Gu Ba, the Demon Emperor, sighed, as if he had become a philosopher.
The Demon World was vast, but there were also many branch forces. Even down to each small race, space and resources were limited.
So they had to conquer!
But now, Gu Ba, the Demon Emperor, realized that there was a more direct way!
As long as he could assist Wang Xiu in returning to his position, when the Demon Emperor returned, he would be able to unify the Demon World just like in the past, and no one would dare to defy him.
Moreover, Wang Xiu was a human, born and raised as a human.
Without a foundation in the Demon World, his Ghostly Demon Race would become Wang Xiu's foundation!
In this way, his Ghostly Demon Race would also become a great clan that had produced a Demon Emperor!
This was the foundation for eternity!
In the end, everyone was fighting and competing for these things, right?
So, Gu Ba, the Demon Emperor, now saw it very clearly. All these demons and whatnot, fighting and snatching, were just superficial.
The true belonging of the Demon Race in the future would still be on Wang Xiu.
As for whether Wang Xiu would become a demon, Gu Ba wasn't worried at all!
After all, a person who could condense the Emperor Demon Seal, a person who could master the supreme techniques of many Demon Races to the pinnacle!
If he couldn't become a demon, then this world would be too crazy!
"You don't admit it now, it's just your thoughts imprisoning you! Destiny will eventually tell us the answer... You will definitely become the one and only Demon Emperor of all ages!" Gu Ba, the Demon Emperor, said like this.
"..." Wang Xiu looked at his sincere eyes and couldn't refute for a while.
It's over, this guy is not bragging anymore, he's bragging about me!
The problem is, there's no reward from the system for bragging about me!
...
"It's you, do you want to make a deal with us?"
A cold voice came.
Wang Xiu looked up, surrounded by a chaotic group of demons, with demonic energy surging. Countless demonic cultivators surrounded him.
This trade was finally about to begin!
