Chapter 854: Chapter 854

Bai Jin respectfully replied, "Disciple has never seen the Demon Ancestor, but upon seeing you, I couldn’t help but want to bow in reverence. Though you sit upon a stone, your majesty is undeniable, and I seem to see countless demons bowing beneath this stone."

Your seat is unsurpassed in dominance, your eyes scornful of all beneath them, your flowing hair bespeaks pride, and in your hands, you play with the starry river.

Disciple has never seen one so towering and aloof, overlooking Heaven and Earth. Thus, I boldly surmise the Demon Ancestor is before me."

"Haha~" Luo Hou laughed heartily and said, "In the Mysterious Sect, there indeed emerged a remarkable fellow. I’ll have to mention this to Hong Jun when next we meet."

Bai Jin forced a laugh, thinking, the Demon Ancestor intends to get me into trouble!

The Demon Ancestor waved his hand, saying, "Wutian, Kui Gang, you two withdraw!"

"Yes!" Buddha Ancestor Wutian and Dharma Ancestor Kui Gang bowed respectfully, and their figures instantly vanished into the dead silent starry sky.

Bai Jin grew even more apprehensive, unsure of the Demon Ancestor’s intentions, so his smile became even brighter.

"Bai Jin, you’re indeed hard to find. I had the entire Demon Realm search high and low, yet you were nowhere to be found. Are you hiding from me? Or do you deem me not worthy of your visit?"

"How could that be! I report to the Demon Lord that I have actually been busy preparing a gift for the Demon Ancestor. Just as the gift was ready, I couldn’t wait to present myself."

Luo Hou’s expression slightly shifted. At this moment, Bai Jin being here signified less of him being found than it did his own emergence. Were he to continue hiding without forming a Demon Sect, who knows when he would have been found?

Here we go, life or death hings upon this moment. Bai Jin extended his hand and respectfully said, "Please have a look, Demon Ancestor."

A divine light suddenly appeared, and within it, a golden-hued deck of playing cards radiated with the resonance of the great Tao, which even Saints couldn’t easily decipher.

Bai Jin immediately said, "Some of my Eldest Uncles and Second Uncles divined earlier that I would enter the Demon Realm and especially instructed me to bring gifts to you, Demon Ancestor.

This deck of playing cards is meticulously crafted by my Master, using materials that are nothing short of the rarest treasures under Heaven and Earth. It assures absolute fairness, such that even Saints can’t cheat. Upon hearing of the Demon Ancestor’s entrapment within the Demon Realm, my Master specifically sent me to deliver this for your amusement. Please, accept it, Demon Ancestor."

Luo Hou extended his hand, and the deck of cards flew to him like a golden dragon, cascading into his grasp.

Upon gripping the golden cards, Luo Hou immediately sensed the great Tao within, sharp and unyielding. Each card seemed like an unparalleled Immortal Sword. He couldn’t help but praise, "What a Tongtian Sect Master! The Four Immortal Slaying Swords emerge through my hands. Just as they should be his due."

Bai Jin immediately chuckled and said, "Respected Demon Ancestor, indeed my Master holds great admiration for you and has asked me to wish you well on his behalf."

Luo Hou flipped his hand, storing the cards, and said, "When I eventually leave the Demon Realm, I will indeed visit the Tongtian Sect Master."

Bai Jin extended his hand again, and a green light appeared, within which a purple brocade box emerged, marked with a Taiji Seal.

Luo Hou beckoned, and the brocade box flew into his hand. Calmly, he said, "Taishang!"

"Demon Ancestor, your insight is indeed unparalleled; nothing escapes your discerning eyes. This is a gift from Master Taishang, containing oolong tea leaves specially cultivated by him. Please, sample it, Demon Ancestor."

Upon receiving the tea leaves, Luo Hou detected the Saint’s aura within them—Supreme Water, tranquil like a precious mirror nurturing all things, yet when in motion, unstoppable like a torrent, truly Taishang’s great Tao.

"Taishang Sect Leader’s kindness is received. When I leave the Demon Realm, I must indeed visit Taishang to debate the Tao."

Bai Jin kept producing holy artifacts one by one.

"I report to the Demon Ancestor that this is a delicacy from Second Uncle Primordial. Please rate it, Demon Ancestor."

"Haha~ For the Primordial Venerable to make such a tempting delicacy, it tastes quite good. I must visit Yuxu Palace someday and have him cook for me personally."

Bai Jin was speechless. Haha~ Let’s see if you can remain so bold then.

"Demon Ancestor, this is a sculpture carved by Nuwa herself, offered to you, Demon Ancestor."

"Is this... a sea serpent playing in the water?"

"No, it’s a Divine Dragon venturing out to sea, symbolizing Demon Ancestor breaking free, as the Divine Dragon who roams Heaven and Earth without restraint," Bai Jin earnestly explained.

Luo Hou’s mouth twitched slightly. No matter how you frame it, that’s a sea serpent playing.淡然说道:"女娲娘娘的礼物吾收下了."

Bai Jin raised his hand again, and a small red-skinned creature with a "ying-ying-ying" sound slowly descended, and he respectfully said, "Demon Ancestor, this is the Divine Beast Iron-Eating Beast sent by Ping Xin Empress, representing the friendship of the Underworld. I’ve brought it as a gift for you."

In fact, Bai Jin had intended to raise this Iron-Eating Beast himself, but over time he forgot, leaving it sealed in a pocket of spacetime. It was now serving a new purpose.

Luo Hou reached out and summoned the little Iron-Eating Beast, smiling, "Though I’m confined here in the Demon Realm, I’ve heard of the Underworld Iron-Eating Beast, the most cherished of Ping Xin’s pets."

Earlier, Luo Hou was somewhat suspicious that Bai Jin’s gifts might only be his own declarations, but now Luo Hou was completely convinced. Tongtian’s cards and Taishang’s tea could possibly have been in Bai Jin’s possession, but who would store food as Primordial Venerable’s delicacy or even an Iron-Eating Beast cub from Ping Xin would be too much trouble? Thus these gifts truly seem to come from the Primordial Saints.

Though Luo Hou outwardly appeared composed, even somewhat dismissive, internally he was heavy-hearted. He couldn’t even calculate Bai Jin’s position, yet they could deduce Bai Jin would fall to the Demon Realm. Could their Tao paths really surpass mine? Have succeeding generations become this formidable?

Bai Jin was oblivious to Luo Hou’s inner thoughts, continuing to smile innocently and said, "Demon Ancestor, my Master, my Eldest Uncles, and Second Uncles sent me to deliver these gifts to you, and also asked me to convey a message."

"It’s that my being in the Demon Realm is by chance, and my Master, Eldest Uncles, and Second Uncles ask for your care and consideration for the disciple."

Bai Jin hastily added, "Demon Ancestor, rest assured, this disciple has always been obedient and will never act recklessly." His heart was pounding with panic—hopefully, the Demon Ancestor would show lenience to him!

The Demon Ancestor’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, coldly saying, "Are they threatening me?"
