After Jing Yan put the Moon God Bell into his pocket, the four of Bu Yun discussed for a moment, leading to the current scene.
The temptation of the Emperor Weapon Moon God Bell was simply too great.
They didn’t have the courage to snatch it directly from the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Now that the Moon God Bell was in Jing Yan’s hands, there was much room for maneuver, presenting both offensive and defensive options.
The reasoning was simple. They would get the Moon God Bell from Jing Yan. Even if the Great Demon Lord came looking for it, they could have an excuse. If they returned the Moon God Bell to the Great Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, surely, they would each receive a generous gift?
On the other hand, if the Great Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain didn’t immediately find them to retrieve the Moon God Bell, they could take it to Nightmare City. With their bined strength, it would be difficult to guard the Moon God Bell, but in Nightmare City, they could offer it to an important figure there, which also promised enormous benefits.
In any case, obtaining the Moon God Bell first wouldn’t harm them.
Upon hearing Tian Ba Overlord’s words, Jing Yan’s inner cold sneer deepened.
These people first told him how terrifying the Great Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was and then asked him to give them the Moon God Bell to handle. Did they take him for a three-year-old child?
Not to mention that Jing Yan’s strength was above these four overlords, even if he were weaker, he would never hand over the Moon God Bell to them easily.
To Jing Yan, the actions of these four appeared somewhat laughable.
"I appreciate the concern from the four fellow Daoists."
"The Great Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is indeed very powerful, and I may not be able to resist the Great Demon Lord."
"However, I still intend to bear this burden myself, so as not to implicate the four fellow Daoists," Jing Yan said slowly.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, you..." Tian Ba Overlord’s expression changed slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, do you suspect we four intend to deceive you and take the Moon God Bell?" Niu Yan glared at Jing Yan with large eyes.
In truth, their intention was indeed to deceive and take the Moon God Bell.
"Do not deceive yourself!"
"The Great Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is not someone you can withstand. Fellow Daoist Yan Shu was killed by the Great Demon Lord in one move. Does Jing Yan believe he can survive in the hands of the Great Demon Lord? If you possess the Moon God Bell, the Great Demon Lord will not let you go." sighed Sovereign Zong Ming.
Among these overlords, only Bu Yun Overlord spoke little to Jing Yan. In fact, Bu Yun did not fully support the intentions of the other three overlords, so he felt somewhat ashamed.
"There’s no need to say more. This Moon God Bell is an Emperor Weapon, and since it is in my hands, I will not relinquish it easily. If the Great Demon Lord wishes to reclaim it, he must possess the requisite strength," Jing Yan replied firmly.
The faces of Tian Ba Overlord and the others grew increasingly grim.
They exchanged glances.
Among these overlords, surely some harbored thoughts of seizing it, but recalling how Jing Yan had blasted away the Youlong Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, they could not help but feel apprehensive and wary. Although their strength might slightly surpass that of Youlong Demon Lord, it was not by much. That purple Thunder Light Jing Yan unleashed to kill Youlong Demon Lord was likely an Immortal Technique, and they were not confident in being able to withstand it.
Those who harbored ill designs could only suppress such thoughts. The risk of attempting to forcibly take the Moon God Bell from Jing Yan was too great.
"Since Fellow Daoist Jing Yan is not appreciative, I shall take my leave," said Tian Ba Overlord as he turned and left without looking back.
Immediately after, both Zong Ming and Niu Yan flew away.
Bu Yun Overlord looked at Jing Yan and said, "Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, the Great Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain’s power is indeed terrifying, and our words earlier were not exaggerations. I mention this now not to ask you to hand over the Moon God Bell to me, but to urge you to be cautious."
Bu Yun Overlord spoke sincerely.
"Hmm, I will be cautious, thank you, Fellow Daoist Bu Yun," Jing Yan said, clasping his hands towards Bu Yun Overlord.
Bu Yun returned the gesture and then bid farewell and left.
After the four overlords departed, Jing Yan returned to Bai City. By this time, under the mand of the Bai Family’s upper echelons, the battlefield had been cleaned up, and a large number of treasures had been collected. This time, the entire demon army from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was wiped out, leaving behind a substantial amount of resources.
"Mr. Jing Yan, all the resources left by the demons of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain are here," Bai Wentai personally presented a large amount of resources to Jing Yan.
This time, Ten Thousand Demon Mountain was slaughtering the city. If Jing Yan hadn’t appeared, they all might have already perished by now. Although these resources were precious, Bai Wentai understood the importance.
Jing Yan nodded and his Divine Thought enveloped the numerous Storage Magical Treasures.
To the current Jing Yan, ordinary resources were meaningless. He still had trillions of Black Crystal Stones on him.
Being in the Immortal Venerable Realm, he only cared for special Spells and rare materials.
Among these resources left by the demons, there weren’t many materials. Jing Yan’s Divine Thought swept over them, picking out the materials he could use and transferring them to the Qiankun World.
"Family Head Bai, you may distribute the rest," Jing Yan said, pointing to the large number of offensive and defensive magic treasures and Storage Magical Treasures.
"How can I accept this?" Bai Wentai shook his head repeatedly.
"Family Head Bai, please do not decline. This time with the demons from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain slaughtering the city, Bai City has suffered tremendous losses. The city’s formations and buildings have been severely damaged and need a lot of resources to be repaired. Furthermore, many people are injured and need Elixirs for healing. Besides, these items are of no use to me," Jing Yan said resolutely.
Seeing that Jing Yan was not merely being polite, Bai Wentai stopped protesting. Naturally, he did want these resources seized from the demons. So, after expressing his thanks, he quickly ordered people to take away all the remaining resources.
At this time, Bai Bingli and others came over.
Jing Yan had showcased immense divine power by slaying numerous demons, with even the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain falling at his hands. Bai Bingli and the others witnessed this and, as such, dared not even breathe loudly in Jing Yan’s presence. They constantly expressed their gratitude for saving their lives.
Jing Yan treated them warmly and, after saying a few words to his disciple Bai Bingli, they also left the courtyard to assist in restoring the city buildings.
"Family Head Bai, there’s a matter I need to discuss with you," Jing Yan pondered for a while before speaking cautiously.
"Please, Mr. Jing Yan, feel free to instruct," Bai Wentai replied.
"That Moon God Bell, do you know about it?" Jing Yan asked.
"I am aware. The golden barrier that covered Bai City earlier was the energy emitted by the Moon God Bell," Bai Wentai nodded.
"The Moon God Bell is currently in my possession. I’ve heard that the Great Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is exceptionally formidable, and he will certainly take action to reclaim the Moon God Bell. I’m somewhat concerned that this might implicate Bai City," Jing Yan said slowly.
Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Bai Wentai’s expression turned somewhat peculiar. His eyes showed a hint of worry, though he did not appear overly anxious.
