C209 Blessed by Misfortune

"That's impossible! "How could you …" The leader said in surprise.

Just at this moment, a miserable scream suddenly came from Lin Xi's side. Soon after, the five flags around Lin Xi all collapsed into dust. The transparent barrier surrounding her also couldn't bear the pressure and collapsed along with the flag. All of a sudden, all of the demons swarmed over. Endless magic techniques and treasures rushed towards Lin Xi who had yet to react.

"Stop!" The leader roared loudly. His petrified hand instantly enlarged and reached out in front of Lin Xi, blocking the attack that was like a tidal wave.

"Lord?" The group of demons stopped their attacks. One of them, seeing the Leader's actions, shouted in confusion.

"Withdraw your attack!" The leader roared, and all of the demons immediately withdrew their weapons and ran behind him, standing in a large group.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Lei's heart went blank, he turned his head to look at Tian Cheng Yang.

Tian Cheng Yang also shook his head slightly, showing that he did not understand.

However, the next action he took blinded a piece of titanium alloy.

The leader of the demonic beasts walked in front of Zheng Lei. With a 'pa' sound, he placed a hand on his chest and knelt in front of Zheng Lei. He loudly shouted, "Greetings, Master!"

"Master... Master... "Master?" Zheng Lei's mouth was wide open as he pointed at himself. "You called me master?"

The group of demons behind the leader were unable to react for a moment. After being fiercely glared at by the leader of the demonic beasts, they immediately fell to their knees with a loud crashing sound.

"What the f * * k!" Zheng Lei sighed and said, "Does that mean you'll all be my little brothers from now on?"

"Yes, we pay our respects to Master!" The leader roared.

Zheng Lei pinched his own face and confirmed that he was not dreaming. Then he said in shock, "What's wrong with it? What exactly is the matter with the swelling? "How did you suddenly acknowledge me as your master?"

Lin Xi nudged him and said softly, "Hurry up, what are you doing here?"

Confused, Zheng Lei asked, "What's the hurry?"

"Hurry up and accept it. Such a great opportunity, how can we miss it?"

"Oh, oh, uh, hello everyone …" Zheng Lei turned his head and smiled at the group of demons kneeling on the ground.

"Greetings, Master!" The group of demons shouted at the same time.

Hm! So impressive! So many people kneeled before me. Zheng Lei muttered in his heart as if he couldn't believe what was happening. Looking at the crowd of people kneeling on the ground, he laughed foolishly and said, "Hello everyone!"

"Greetings, Master!"

"Hehe, nice to meet you all!"

"Greetings, Master!"

"..."

Lin Xi watched on from the side, both angry and amused. This kid, why did he only say these three words at such a critical moment? Thus, he poked Zheng Lei's back with his finger and whispered, "Say something else. Always saying three words."

"Uh …" Zheng Lei Qing cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Comrades, thank you for your hard work!"

"Welcome, Master!"

"Uh … um, you guys can go back."

"Understood, Master!" With a loud swoosh, the group of demons disappeared, leaving only the leader. Zheng Lei quickly pulled him back and said, "Hey, wait a moment."

"Yes, Master." The leader demon stopped and asked, "Master, do you have any orders?"

"Um, I just got to know everyone. Introduce yourself."

"Yes, master. My name is Shi Qing, and my original form is a stone. I have been in human form for 1300 years."

"Wow, 1300 years!" Good boy, Zheng Lei calculated in his heart, this Xiong Quan's age is actually five hundred times his own.

"That... Shi Qing, what's going on here? Why are you all here? And there's so much of it? "

"Master, we were ordered by the Demon Ancestor to wait here for you."

"Don't call me master from now on. My name is Zheng Lei, you can call me by my name or Er Lei Zi."

"Yes, master!"

"Why are you calling me master again? In the future, don't scream anymore, how do you know that I am your master? "

"Master …"

"Don't call me master!"

When the Demon Ancestor set up the Thousand Monster Cave, he gave us two missions. One is to protect the sacred object, the other is to wait for the arrival of the master, in order to prevent the little ones under you from secretly going out, and then placing the Thousand Monster Pot here as well. There are restrictions left behind by the Demon Ancestor on this pot, so other than her and her, no one else is able to get close to or obtain it.

"Who is the Demon Ancestor?"

Shi Qing revealed a troubled expression and said, "This … The Demon Ancestor has decreed that no information about her is allowed to be leaked. "

"Oh? Then forget it. What is the holy object that you are protecting?"

"It's a painting."

"A painting? Whose painting is this? "

Shi Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know. The Demon Ancestor said that he would leave it for the fated one to retrieve."

"Then am I destined?"

"I don't know."

"Then what is the purpose of this painting?"

"I don't know."

"Then how long will you protect them for?"

"I don't know."

What a stone, Zheng Lei thought. Why is it so dull and ignorant? Forget it, getting this pot was already a huge blessing. As for that item, it was probably not that easy to get.

When he thought up to this point, Zheng Lei scratched his head to take a look, then said to Shi Qing, "Shi Qing, can you release the person that was captured earlier?"

"I'm sorry Master, I don't have the ability."

"Damn!" You're the one who caught him, and now you're telling me that you don't have the ability, is that right? "

When Shi Qing heard that Zheng Lei's tone was off, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I'm sorry Master, right now the Thousand Goblins Bottle is not under my control. If you want to release her, it's only a matter of thought."

"Oh, so it's like that. Alright then, you can leave. I'll call you if you need anything."

"Yes, Master."

Finished speaking, Shi Qing's body flashed and disappeared.

Then, Zheng Lei turned his head to look at Tian Cheng Yang, he shook the Thousand Goblin pot in his hand and said: "Master, how is it? Am I doing well this time? "

"Enough!" "You stinking brat, hurry up and release Fellow Hu." Tian Cheng Yang laughed as he scolded.

"Alright!" As Zheng Lei spoke, he said to the Thousand Demon Pot, "Release them!"

There was no reaction from the Thousand Demon Pot.

"Eh? I clearly wanted to release my grandteacher and grandma, but why can't I? " Zheng Lei scratched his head and said.

Lin Xi reached out her hand to touch the bottle, but before she could reach Zheng Lei's side, she felt a strong repulsive force. Helpless, she could only stand on the spot and say, "Ask Shi Qing again, what's going on?"

"Mm. Alright." Zheng Lei nodded his head and then focused his attention on the Thousand Goblins pot.

After a long while, Zheng Lei's mind started to blur. There was a vague outline of a city.

Where is this place? Zheng Lei's heart was filled with questions. Could it be the world inside the Thousand Demon Pot?

After staring blankly for a moment, Zheng Lei asked in his heart: "Where's Shi Qing?"

"Master!" You called me? " Shi Qing's voice sounded by Zheng Lei's ear.

"Oh, yes, I was looking for you."

"What is Master looking for me for?"

"I just did what you said. Why can't I release grand-teacher grandma?"

"Master, are you looking at the world in front of you right now very blurry?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"That's it. Because your cultivation is not enough, although you are the master of the Thousand Monster Gorge right now, you can only call out a few monsters with very low cultivation."

"Ah?" It can't be? Then when will I be able to release Ancestor Grandmother? "

"When Master can see the world clearly, then he can."

"How long would that take?"

"I don't know either."

"Then can I summon those demons?"

Shi Qing was silent for a moment before he replied, "I should be thinking of the Mist Demon's level."

"That half demon?"

"Yes."

"How are you demons categorized?"

"We are divided into nine levels …" Shi Qing grumbled as he explained the hierarchy of the demon clan to one side, directly giving Zheng Lei a headache.

"If that's the case, then your first step should be about the same as us ordinary people. If we're divided like this, then our cultivation base should be divided into nine levels. According to your classification, when will I be able to release grand-grandma?"

Shi Qing thought for a moment and said, "On the fifth floor."

The fifth level, the fourth step of cultivation. Zheng Lei calculated in his heart, then he couldn't help but sigh and say, "This will take a long time."

Shi Qing replied, "Master, if her cultivation isn't enough, even if she wasn't personally picked by the Demon Ancestor, she would still have to wait until you reach the fifth layer."

"Oh, okay then. Let's do it like this. I'll call you if there's anything else."

"Yes, goodbye Master."

Zheng Lei slowly opened his eyes. Tian Chenyang hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

"I can't." Zheng Lei said in a low voice.

"What!?" Tian Cheng Yang and Lin Xi cried out in alarm at the same time.

"How can this be? Weren't you already the owner of the Thousand Goblins Kettle? How could it be like this? " Lin Xi asked nervously.

Zheng Lei's face turned bitter and said, "Because my cultivation is not enough yet."

"Yes, I knew it. I didn't think that I would let Lei'er use this demon pot so easily." Tian Cheng Yang nodded his head in realization, and continued to say: "Then, did you ever ask when you would be able to release Fellow Hu?"

"Yes, he said he would wait until my fourth step cultivation level." It had to be known that Zheng Lei had only just stepped into the second step, and the path of cultivation did not mean that one would be able to survive after leveling up. Perhaps there were people who would be stuck at a certain stage for their entire lives, and this phenomenon was quite common in the world of cultivators. There was a difference of two levels; Zheng Lei did not know how long it would take for him to practice it with his own talent.

"The fourth step ah, ah, is always accompanied by blessings and misfortune, nevermind, let's go. Maybe if Fellow Hu is sealed in the Thousand Demon Pot, there will be a lot of trouble." Tian Zhen Yang sighed, then turned around and walked into the cave.

Lin Xi and Zheng Lei looked at each other, but did not say anything as they followed Tian Cheng Yang.

Zheng Lei stood on the spot and watched as the two continued to move forward. If they were among ordinary people, then most likely they would be taken as father and daughter.

Not knowing why, Zheng Lei looked at the current Tian Zhen Yang, feeling a faint sense of loneliness from his body. Perhaps it was due to the mutual appreciation between the two of them, but there was suddenly one less person, resulting in a psychological drop between the two of them. However, these feelings were also only a guess on Zheng Lei's part. The true thoughts in Tian Cheng Yang's heart, only he himself could know.

This sudden development had caused some injuries to Tian Cheng Yang and Lin Xi, but it had also brought Zheng Lei good fortune. If it weren't for this trip, he wouldn't have gotten his hands on the Thousand Demon Pot.

Tian Zhen Yang walked along the roadside as he thought to himself, I temporarily don't know what grade this thing is, but from Shi Qing's words, this thing's grade is definitely not low. Furthermore, who was the Demon Ancestor? No matter if it was him or Lin Xi, neither of them knew who the Demon Ancestor Shi Qing spoke of was. As for Zheng Lei, there was no need to talk about him.

To be able to use one of the nine yin meridians of the entire earth as the foundation to construct the Thousand Monster Cave and this Thousand Monster Pot was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.

Could it be that behind Zheng Lei, there was an important figure that no one knew about controlling all of this? Just who was this person? Regarding Zheng Lei's identity, Tian Chenyang had once probed Hu Mei, but Hu Mei had never said it. She had only vaguely revealed a single sentence: He was someone from a long time ago.

The person from a long time ago, how long was that? Was it when the human race was still in the middle of draining blood? After all, the demon ancestor Shi Qing spoke of was definitely not a simple person. To be able to seal a group of demons in the ten thousand demon pots and then seal them in the earth vein, it took countless years before he managed to get Zheng Lei and the others over. Just this point was enough to prove the strength of the demon ancestor.

Tian Chenyang constantly searched his mind for information, but he was unable to find out who Zheng Lei's past self was.

He turned his head to look at Zheng Lei, this brat was still immersed in the excitement of getting the demon jug. He kept looking at it along the way, just about to drill into it to see what was going on.

Seeing his Master looking at him, Zheng Lei chuckled. He did not say anything, but continued to play with the Thousand Demon Pot in his hands.

Tian Cheng Yang smiled as he shook his head, then sighed in his heart: Ah, this kid, I really can't figure out who he was in my previous life. Which supreme deity could have such a big hand, and which deity has not returned to the Heaven Realm after so many years? Forget it, who cares about him so much. Since my memories from my previous life were my disciples before I woke up, I will take good care of him. Whether it is for public or private, I must not shirk my responsibilities to nurture him.

"Ouch." Zheng Lei and Tian Cheng Yang were both interrupted by Lin Xi's shout. Zheng Lei raised his head and saw Lin Xi frowning slightly. A hand touched his forehead and gently rubbed it. It was obvious that he had hit the wall of the passageway.

"Junior Sister, what are you thinking about?" Such a wide road can actually hit the head? " Tian Chenyang asked.

Lin Xi's face turned slightly red. "Uh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about something."

"Cousin, you have to be careful. What if there's a God of Stones or a horse? What if it breaks?" Zheng Lei also said.

Lin Xi turned her head to look at Zheng Lei and rebuked, "You don't need to care? Mind your own business! " His face turned even redder as he turned around and walked away.
