Nong Zizai left with a sullen face.
He had hoped to find shelter with Gao Fei, but Gao Fei hadn't given him the ti of day, which left Nong Zizai quite frustrated.
"Zhu Dahe." Gao Fei's mouth curled into a cold smile, "You'd better not co looking for revenge, or else I will make your death a miserable one."
Honestly, Gao Fei didn't take Zhu Dahe seriously. In the eyes of others, Zhu Dahe was formidable, a renowned Gu Art Master just one step away from Grandmaster status, with a far-reaching reputation in Miaojiang. However, in Gao Fei's view, Zhu Dahe was insignificant and posed no threat to him.
...
Where had Zhu Dahe gone?
Probably no one could have guessed.
Zhu Dahe returned to the black hole and then took the Teleportation Array to the Demon Clan's Holy Land. Why did he return there? Because he couldn't accept his fate. After waiting for over a decade, soone else had beaten him to it, and he was truly unwilling to let it go.
He decided to return to the Demon Clan's Holy Land to look around and see if there were any other fortunes to be found.
"Heavens, can't you favor just once?"
"I've spent over a decade here, living a life worse than death; surely you owe so compensation?"
"I don't ask for much; just a little compensation will do."
...
Zhu Dahe muttered to himself as he walked.
"Puchi!"
A crisp sound ca from underfoot, as if he had stepped on sothing.
Zhu Dahe moved his foot away, crouched down, and brushed the sand aside, revealing a black and shiny object. At first glance, it seed like a stone, but on closer examination, it felt different.
"What is this thing?"
A look of confusion appeared on Zhu Dahe's face.
"Buzzing..."
The stone-like object suddenly shook.
"Ah?" Zhu Dahe jumped in fright: "It can move too."
"Sizzling..."
The black object suddenly cracked open, and a puff of black smoke drifted out. Before Zhu Dahe could react, the smoke turned into a sharp arrow and shot straight into Zhu Dahe's head.
"Ouch..."
Zhu Dahe scread, holding his head. It hurt, it hurt so much. His head felt like it was about to explode!
"Ah!"
Zhu Dahe fell onto the yellow sand, rolling back and forth in agony.
"Who are you..." Zhu Dahe asked with a trembling voice.
"Hahaha! I am the Demon Lord!" A strange voice ca from Zhu Dahe's mouth, raspy and unpleasant to the ear.
"Demon Lord? I don't even know you. Why do you want to harm ..."
"It's your bad luck! I was originally in slumber, but you woke up. In order to escape my bonds, I had to perform Body Snatching on you. To be honest, your Physical Body is quite subpar compared with the one I had before; I would have never settled for it then... but now... it will have to do."
"Please... spare ... I am begging you..." Zhu Dahe pleaded tearfully. He deeply regretted his decision, wondering why he ever ca back. Now, a demon was about to take over his Physical Body.
Given the chance to do it all over again, he definitely wouldn't have co back.
When it cos down to it, Zhu Dahe just had awful luck. He had lain in wait here for over a decade, never once rousing the sealed Demon the whole ti; it must be said his luck wasn't too bad... but unfortunately, good luck can't last forever. On Zhu Dahe's second entry into the Demon Clan's Holy Land, he accidentally awakened the sealed Demon and... was Body-Snatched by the demon...
Ultimately, it was a disaster of his own making!
He could have lived, but instead, he sought his own doom!
"Speaking of which, I should thank you. If you hadn't disturbed my sleep, I would still be in hibernation, and I wouldn't have been able to perform Body Snatching on you. Even though your Physical Body is a bit lacking, it's still very important to . With your Physical Body, I can leave this place and never have to endure the pain of being sealed again."
"No, please don't..."
A few minutes later.
Zhu Dahe's screams ceased; his soul had been Devoured by another, and from then on, his Physical Body belonged to soone else.
"Hmm." Zhu Dahe stretched his arms, kicked his legs, and then shook his neck: "Well, it feels okay... It's a pity about the lost Cultivation though!" Zhu Dahe sighed: "Back then, I was genuinely a Transcendance Tribulation Stage Great Cultivator. And now... I have taken over a re mortal's body, and restoring my previous Cultivation level... that's not going to be easy."
"Hmm... Zhu Dahe... that na doesn't sound too bad..."
"Gu Art?"
"This Zhu Dahe is actually a Gu Art master?"
...
As the demon took possession of the Physical Body, it also absorbed so of Zhu Dahe's mories.
"This Gu Art is quite interesting," Zhu Dahe grinned: "Before I can restore my Cultivation, I'll act using Zhu Dahe's identity for now. Once I've regained my power, I'll reveal my title as Demon Lord and reinvigorate the Demon Clan!"
"The Little Thunder Sound Monastery and the Demon Sky Tower were both taken by soone nad Gao Fei?"
Through Zhu Dahe's mories, the demon found out sothing, sothing that greatly infuriated him.
"The Little Thunder Sound Monastery is a possession of the Buddhist Sect, losing it is no big deal, but the Demon Sky Tower is different! The Demon Sky Tower is the Demon Clan's supre treasure, a symbol of the Demon Clan! It absolutely can't fall into the hands of outsiders! We must take it back!"
"The hateful part is that this physical body's strength is too weak, not a match for that Gao Fei at all."
"For now, bear it. Wait until I've raised my strength, then I'll take the Demon Sky Tower back!"
Zhu Dahe's eyes flickered with sharp lights.
...
Three days later.
Gao Fei, Lu Hao, and Xu Lingxiu left Nine Bends Fort. Upon arrival, Xu Lingxiu was unconscious and could only be carried by Lu Hao. But on the way back, Xu Lingxiu had woken up, her health recovered, chatting and laughing beside Lu Hao, appearing very happy.
After erging from the mountains, the three of them drove back to the capital.
And so, the storm had co to an end.
On the road, Lu Hao received a phone call and then beca downcast.
"What's wrong?" Gao Fei asked.
"Feng Yan just called ."
"Feng Yan?"
"She knows, she knows about the thing between and Xu Lingxiu."
"Oh, what did she say?"
"Her tone was quite calm, but..." Lu Hao said with a bitter smile, "I can feel it, she's very angry and very hurt."
"Deal with the ss you've created yourself," Gao Fei offered no help, "You promised Xu Lingxiu you'd be with her, a man must keep his word! But... Feng Yan has been good to you as well. Even though she's not that pretty, she has a great character. If you let her go, you'll definitely regret it."
Lu Hao blinked, "Brother Fei, are you suggesting... I take both of them? Ouch! Why are you pinching !" Lu Hao turned to glare at Xu Lingxiu.
"Thinking about other won in front of ! You're lucky I didn't outright kill you; I've been nothing but polite!" Xu Lingxiu said through gritted teeth.
"I..." Seeing Xu Lingxiu so infuriated, Lu Hao felt a bit weak inside, and he turned to Gao Fei, "Brother Fei, you help ..."
"Forget it." Gao Fei waved his hand dismissively, "Solve your own ss, don't bother with it."
"Sigh..." Lu Hao let out a heavy sigh, "Let it be. Worst cos to worst, I'll beco a monk, sever all ties with worldly troubles, and never worry about won again."
"You dare!" Xu Lingxiu's eyes widened.
"Push , and I'll do it," this ti, Lu Hao did not back down.
"You..." Xu Lingxiu was so angry she trembled, "If you've got the guts, then beco a monk! I'll beco a nun if it cos to it, and we'll see who's afraid then!"
A smile curled up in Gao Fei's mouth, thinking: This guy, Lu Hao, surely won't have an easy life ahead.
Whether it was Xu Lingxiu or Feng Yan, neither was an easy one to deal with; for Lu Hao to smooth things over with these two won wouldn't be an easy task.
While driving, Gao Fei listened to Lu Hao and Xu Lingxiu bickering and found it quite amusing.
...
After returning to the capital, Gao Fei parted ways with Lu Hao and Xu Lingxiu and checked into a hotel by himself.
He took a hot shower and then lay on the bed watching TV, a reality show was on, quite interesting.
It had been a long ti since he had been so relaxed.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Just then, the phone by the bed began to ring.
Gao Fei glanced over and saw it was Xia Tao calling. He picked up the phone and answered, "Hello, Old Xia, what's up?" After spending so ti together, Gao Fei had co to regard Xia Tao as a friend, a particularly good one, so he spoke more casually.
"Mr. Gao, I need a favor from you, and you must agree," Xia Tao said.
"Tell , as long as it's within my power, I will definitely help you."
"Can you co to the base and give so guidance to my subordinates?"
"Guide your subordinates?"
"Yes, even though my subordinates are elites, they're still far behind you, especially in combat, they're no match for you! I would like for you to give them so pointers, help them improve their strength, so that they'll have more security when carrying out missions in the future."
"I see," Gao Fei stroked his smooth chin, not sure when he had beco fond of this gesture. Whenever he contemplated sothing, he would instinctively stroke his chin, a subconscious act, completely uncontrollable by the mind.
"Is it a difficult request?" Xia Tao asked, "If it is... then forget it..."
"I can agree," Gao Fei said, "But my ti is quite limited."
"It won't take too much of your ti," Xia Tao sounded pleased to have Gao Fei's agreent, "Just three days, okay?"
"Fine, three days." Gao Fei nodded, "I'll do my best to guide them, how much they can learn will depend on their insight." Honestly, Gao Fei really did not want to agree, but due to friendship did not have the heart to refuse. After all, Xia Tao had helped him many tis, Gao Fei felt obliged in both sentint and reason to not refuse Xia Tao.
You have to repay a favor you owe.
