Chapter 11, Battle with the Demon Clan

Old Dragon King laughed smugly and said, "Spread this news far and wide; it will then be the Demon Clan's gamble against him, and our Dragon Clan will be able to withdraw with ease."

Aoguang anxiously said, "What if the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot really falls into the hands of the Demon Clan?"

The Old Dragon King patted Aoguang on the shoulder and said, "Stolen goods — would our Dragon Clan ever acknowledge them? Since it didn't come from our hands, all we need to do at that time is firmly insist that chariot is a fake. Moreover, this young friend is not a simple man; the Demon Clan won't find it easy to succeed."

A fake... a fake? Aoguang's mouth twitched, and he said, "Old man, does your conscience not bother you?"

"Your grandparents perished long ago in the calamity."

Old Dragon King said triumphantly, "And besides, this isn't being bad—it's being wise, boy. You still have a long way to go to become a Dragon King. Better learn well."

...

Bai Jin was riding the Kui Niu underwater, urging, "Move! Quickly!"

Kui Niu said joyfully, "Brother, you actually managed to get your hands on the Dragon Clan's Nine Dragons Chariot. You're amazing!"

Bai Jin let out a cold chuckle and said, "That old fox, the East Sea Dragon King, intends to divert a disaster. He actively gave me the Nine Dragons Chariot; that old guy was definitely not well-intentioned."

Kui Niu said solemnly, "I thought he was quite nice!"

"Do you believe that he has already informed the Demon Clan about the Nine Dragons Chariot in my possession?"

"That can't be! I don't think he's that sort of person - aren't you kin?"

"What Aoguang said before was right, the Old Dragon King is just an Old Silver Coin."

Boom~

A fiery Divine Sword descended like a heavenly punishment from the sky, and the East Sea was instantly set ablaze by towering waves. Hissing sounds filled the air as water evaporated, shrouding the sea's surface with a dense fog.

Bai Jin, mounted on the Kui Niu, was sent flying from the seabed and shot up above the surface like a cannonball, steadying himself in mid-air.

Above the tumultuous Demon Clouds in the sky stood the armor-clad Bi Fang Demon God and thousands of strong warriors from the Demon Clan.

Bi Fang stretched out his hand, and a flaming Divine Sword emerged from the seabed, cutting through the steam that enveloped the sea, landing in Bi Fang's grasp.

The Bi Fang Demon God eyed Bai Jin and his mount Kui Niu, a flash of joy crossing his eyes. To think it was the Primordial Strange Beast Kui Niu - with proper nurturing, the Demon Court might soon add another Demon God to its ranks. As for Bai Jin, he was of no concern, just a Golden Immortal Level White Crane Demon with mediocre potential and limited future achievements.

The Bi Fang Demon God bellowed sternly, "Who dares to steal from the Demon Court? Surrender the Nine Dragon Chariot, and your lives may be spared!"

Bai Jin whispered, "See, I told you so, didn't I?"

Kui Niu nodded repeatedly, his Brother is wise indeed.

Bi Fang Demon God shouted again, "Answer me; did you not hear?"

Bai Jin looked up with a naive smile and said, "We're just cultivators dwelling in seclusion in the East Sea, planning to visit relatives on the Primordial Continent."

"Nonsense! Hand over the Nine Dragon Chariot, submit to the Demon Court and you shall not be killed," Bi Fang reprimanded.

Bai Jin's face was full of innocence as he said, "I really don't know anything about a Nine Dragon Chariot. We're just two ordinary little cultivators."

Kui Niu also nodded repeatedly, they couldn't fight, so they had to concede.

"The East Sea Dragon King has already spilled the beans; you still dare to argue."

Bi Fang sneered and said, "Qu Yang, capture them."

"Yes!" A Wolf Demon, clad in armor, bellowed, "Follow me!" Dozens of the Demon Clan wailed and rushed excitedly toward Bai Jin and his companion.

Bi Fang watched coldly from the sidelines, a sense of anticipation secretly rising within his heart, looking forward to Kui Niu's performance.

Kui Niu said anxiously, "Senior brother, what do we do now?"

The naive smile faded from Bai Jin's face and he said helplessly, "I really don't want to fight!"

A cold light flashed in his hand and an Immortal Sword appeared, with two characters on the hilt: Qingyun.

Holding the Qingyun Sword, Bai Jin floated up and watched attentively as the dozens of members of the Demon Clan charged towards him, recalling the trajectory of the Sword Dao in his mind. His long sword traced through the air, the Sky-opening Sword.

A bright light flashed past, and with the sounds of plop, plop, plop—blood splattered, dozens of demons were instantly slain on the spot, leaving none alive including the Wolf Demon Qu Yang, as flesh and blood scattered in the air.

The demons on the cloud head were all shocked, instinctively taking a step back. One must know that Qu Yang was a Great Demon at the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm, yet couldn't withstand even a single move.

Bai Jin's body wobbled, his mana instantly pouring out as if hollow, and he settled himself on top of Kui Niu.

Even in Kui Niu's eyes, shock was apparent as he yelled out in his heart, "Senior brother is awesome~!"

Bai Jin gripped the Immortal Sword tightly, his heart tinged with faint regret. To think that he could only execute a single move; if he could proceed with consecutive strikes, even fighting a Taiyi Golden Immortal might not be impossible.

Bi Fang's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes filled with shock. This sword technique even made him sense a hint of crisis.

Bai Jin looked up at Bi Fang, the Demon God, smoothed back his hair, and said, "Well, since the East Sea Dragon King has already made his move, there is no point for me to keep hiding. Indeed, the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot is in my possession, but I'm afraid I cannot give it to you. This Nine Dragons Incense Chariot is meant to be taken and presented to my master, so I hope the Demon God will make it easy for me.

Oh, by the way, I come from Kunlun Mountain."

A flicker of surprise flashed through Bi Fang, the Demon God's eyes – the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain?! Then his eyes filled with greed once more. The Nine Dragon Chariot, the Innate Spiritual Treasure Immortal Sword, and that sword technique, all could be his if handled cleanly. What of the Three Pure Ones? Would they really climb the Heavenly Court to avenge a single disciple?!

Bi Fang spoke with a heavy voice, "Since you are a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, I will give you this face."

Bai Jin smiled and bowed, saying, "Many thanks, Demon God."

As Bai Jin bowed, a cold glint flashed in Bi Fang's eyes. He suddenly stretched out his hand and made a fierce grab towards Bai Jin. The overwhelming Bi Fang Divine Fire blazed forth, coalescing into a kilometer-sized fiery bird claw, swooping down towards the two of them, locking down a piece of heaven and earth—inescapable before it even touched down.

Bai Jin, taking advantage of the moment, spun his hand above his head. A Tai Chi Diagram appeared in the sky. As the fiery bird claw landed on the Tai Chi Diagram, it instantly crumbled into flames, pouring into the Tai Chi Diagram's Yang Eye like rivers entering the sea.

Bai Jin raised his head and said, "To launch a sneak attack is not befitting of your status as a Demon God. What comes around goes around; now take a move from me."

His hand gesture reversed, and from the Yin Eye of the Tai Chi Diagram, a Divine Sword of flames flew out instantaneously towards Bi Fang, with a speed like a flash of light.

Boom—a loud explosion, a sea of flames spread across the sky.

"Ga~" From within the sea of fire, a Bi Fang Divine Bird burst forth, its body bathed in blood as it frantically fled towards the sky.

Bai Jin lowered his hand, and the Tai Chi Diagram also faded away.

Kui Niu asked excitedly, "Senior brother, what is this Taoist skill? It's so powerful, can you teach me?"

Bai Jin said, "This is called Qiankun Great Shifting. Later on, you can ask Master about it. I cannot teach you."

Kui Niu nodded repeatedly, memorizing the name in his heart—Qiankun Great Shifting.

Bai Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he prepared the Taiji Diagram from his eldest uncle. The Primordial World is indeed full of treacherous hearts, each one an old fox. A Daluo Golden Immortal used his full power to deal with a mere junior Golden Immortal; truly, an innocent little white rabbit like him should stay under the protection of powerful figures, watching the world's changes with amusement.

Bai Jin patted Kui Niu's neck and said, "Let's go! We return to Kunlun."

Kui Niu summoned thunderclouds and flew towards the Primordial Continent.

Amidst the surging sea, two figures quietly rose up, none other than the East Sea Old Dragon King and Aoguang.

The East Sea Old Dragon King sighed, "Didn't I tell you? He isn't easy to deal with. His background must be incredibly astonishing!"

Aoguang casually responded, "Yes, yes!" His eyes gleaming as he looked ahead, where many members of the Demon Clan had died, including a few Golden Immortal Level Great Demons—all resources! Harvesting the fallen, a must-do task.
