--- Chapter 173 ---

After leaving Su Ling'er and Ni Yeyue in the hands of Shizu, Yu Long went to another area of Misty Tiger Peak. And the first thing that greeted him in this shady part of the mountain was Yun Canghai's fist. 

Bam!

Watching the incoming fist, Yu Long tilted his head casually and kicked the old fossil revered as the Demon King in the stomach. 

"Ack!" 

Yun Canghai groaned in pain as he crashed into a row of trees, breaking them one after another. Yu Long held his strength a lot, yet he clearly didn't seem to hold back enough. 

"Buahaha, I won the bet!" A heartful laugh echoed in the area. 

Yu Long recognized this voice and turned around, seeing his grandfather on the tree branch. 

"Old Demon, you must give me three jugs of good wine now!" Xu Sanshan laughed heartily and clapped his hands rapidly like a child winning candy or something.

Before Yu Long comes to check them out, Yun Canghai and Xu Sanshan argue about random things, leading them to bet on whether Yun Canghai could land a sneak attack on Yu Long or not. 

Upon learning this, Yu Long could only stare at them dumbly. 

"..." Yu Long. 

Hua Minghai, who explained this scenario to Yu Long, lowered his head and said, "My Lord. I tried to stop them, but my cultivation base and overall strength are lower than theirs..." 

Yu Long sighed, "It's not your fault." 

"I know my Grandpa. Even though he has a Royal's Bloodline, he's wild out of the forest." 

"I can hear you, brat!" Xu Sanshan complained, but Yu Long ignored him.

"As for Yun Canghai, He's the Demon King and the Demon known for being devious." Yu Long finished his words. 

Yun Canghai clutched his stomach in pain and won't accept Yu Long's slander easily, "Fuck you!" 

What a 'nice' day Yu Long had in this world. 

"Anyway, where are Fen Juechen and Sikong Du?" Yu Long asked Hua Minghai. 

Hua Minghai scratched his neck awkwardly and pointed at the massive tree nearby. The sheer thickness of this tree could rival four basketball courts.

Yu Long squinted his eyes, seeing Fen Juechen and Sikong Du punching the wood with their bare hands. 

"After leaving the Heavenly Sword Villa early and meeting Yun Canghai, they received his teaching." Hua Minghai explained briefly. "Since Body Refiner, Yun Canghai told them to refine their flesh even further." 

"Such an old-fashioned training." Yu Long commented honestly. 

"Don't you think so, Old Man?" 

Xu Sanshan glanced at Yu Long and waved his hand dismissively, "Old-fashioned training is enough for them for now. Their foundation is decent for someone who flash-trained their bodies in two weeks, but they crumbled easily in a long battle." 

"I didn't criticize Old Demon's teachings because he had eyes for something like this." 

"Hmph, although I'm old, I'm still the Demon King Yun Canghai!" Yun Canghai returned with trembling legs. 

Yu Long peeked at his trembling leg and chuckled, "Sure." 

"Y-You!" Yun Canghai was furious. "Old Devil, you should teach your grandson some respect!" 

"Bwahaha, that's my grandson for you!" Xu Sanshan laughed in return. 

Yu Long rolled his eyes, "Whatever, just sit down. I have something to say to you, Yun Canghai."

"I don't wanna." Yun Canghai childishly folded his arm and swayed his head.

"This is about the Illusory Demon Realm." 

Hearing that, Yun Canghai immediately chopped a small tree and sat on the stump. "Go on." He responded with a solemn look. 

"Woah." Hua Minghai and Xu Sanshan were impressed. Yu Long could control this wild Demon King with just a few words. 

Yu Long sat on a rock and said, "I'll be straightforward with you, Old Man." 

"I've found my way to the Illusory Demon Realm, and my conquest on that continent is inevitable. You already experienced one of the methods yesterday, as one of my subordinates could easily teleport us to anywhere in this realm with ease." 

"Now, your role in this operation is..." 

"W-Wait, wait, I'm not helping you conquer my homeland, brat! Are you nuts?" Yun Canghai was bewildered by this development. Before Yu Long finished his words, he firmly rejected this plan already. 

Xu Sanshan rubbed his chin at this sight and commented, "Hey, Old Demon. Let Yu Long finish, or you might regret your decision later." 

"Fine..." Yun Canghai responded softly. 

"Brat, continue." 

Yu Long snorted at this emotional Old Man and continued, "Your role will be the Diplomatic Representative and a messenger. Since you are the Demon King, you must hold quite an authority in the Illusory Demon Realm, right?" 

Yun Canghai put on a troubled expression and murmured, "A diplomatic representative and messenger..."

"Although I'm the right hand of the Demon Emperor, he and the Little Demon Emperor have passed away for quite a while now... The illusory Demon Realm cannot run without a monarch, so the Little Demon Empress should be the one who takes the throne." 

"As the monarch, the Little Demon Empress might hate me. But I have something to help with that problem." 

Before the Demon Emperor fell into the enemy's trap, he gave the Demon Emperor's Seal to Yun Canghai for safekeeping. 

He also instructed Yun Canghai to never give the seal to anyone, not even the Little Demon Emperor. But now that the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor have passed away, the only sole heir is Little Demon Empress.

Yun Canghai knew the importance of the Demon Emperor's Seal as it was the key to entering a 'special' area, and the Little Demon Empress needed it!

"You said messenger earlier. What kind of message do you want me to convey to the Little Demon Empress?" 

Yu Long smiled and said, "I want you guys to surrender to me." 

"Are you joking?" Yun Canghai couldn't help but ask.

"I'm serious, serious." 

Since the Illusory Demon Realm is his homeland, Yun Canghai thought about the pros and cons of Yu Long's proposal.

Yet he cursed in frustration a few seconds later. 

"Fuck!" 

No matter how much Yun Canghai thought about it, he couldn't find a reasonable way for the Illusory Demon Realm to protect itself from Yu Long's force. 

"I don't have any other choice, am I?" Yun Canghai gazed at Yu Long wryly.

Yu Long shrugged, "Feels free fighting Muzan and Shizu." 

Even if we took Yu Long out of the force, Yun Canghai knew Muzan and Shizu alone were enough to decimate the Illusory Demon Realm. And he'd rather fight the Four Great Sacred Grounds face-to-face than those two monsters. 

"This is bullying..." Yun Canghai was sure that Yu Long proposed this plan because he didn't want to dirty his hands. 

"You have three seconds to decide." Yu Long whistled carefreely.

"Kuugh, you're more Demon than me." 

"Thank you for the compliment." 

"It's not a compliment!" Yun Canghai panted, having his chest up and down in mixed emotions. 

After a while of grumbling, Yun Canghai gritted his teeth and answered Yu Long's plan, "Ugh, I agree." 

"Good." Yu Long laughed while throwing something at Yun Canghai. 

Yun Canghai caught the item and found it was a spatial full of jade bottles. "What's this?" He brought one out.

"It's a True Heart Opening Liquid." Yu Long answered and dug his ears lazily. 

"True Heart Opening Liquid!" Xu Sanshan blurted when smelling a familiar scent. "You improved the Great Heart Open Liquid, Yu Long?" 

"Yup, I gained some new herbs recently, and with them, the True Heart Opening Liquid was born. It's ten times more effective than the Great Heart Opening Liquid, but one can only consume three per month." 

"What is the use of this liquid?" Yun Canghai felt left out. 

Hua Minghai stared at Yun Canghai enviously and said, "Heart Opening Liquid is a miraculous drug invented by My Lord. It can open one's profound veins, but its greatest effect is increasing sensitivity." 

"Simply put, you can feel the surrounding profound strength better and comprehend natural phenomena faster. The one in your hand is the best version so far." 

"What!" Yun Canghai was shocked and hugged the bottle like a precious treasure. This thing is better than Overlord Pellets from the Illusory Demon Realm.

"Don't be jealous. Here is your portion." Yu Long handed another spatial ring to Hua Minghai and his grandfather. He also brought two more spatial rings for Fen Juechen and Sikong Du. 

"Okay, my matter here is over." 

"See you later!" He was about to kick the ground when Xu Sanshan called him out.

"Wait, Yu Long!" 

Yu Long glanced at his grandfather, "What's the matter?" 

Xu Sanshan patted his chest and said, "Go to your grandma. She has something to say." 

"Grandma?" Yu Long had a premonition. 

A bad one at that. 

"Yeah. Nannan is waiting for you at the Misty Tiger Peak's yard." Xu Sanshan nodded with a mysterious smile. 

Even though Yu Long has a hunch, he still follows his Grandpa's words and goes to the yard.
