Please, Young Master, Slay the Demon!-Chapter 44 - Command_1
Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Command_1
Chapter 44 -44 Command_1
God.
In the language of the Demonic Clan, this title represents an ancient and supreme existence.
Human Cultivators progress through Three Levels and Nine Boundaries, but the Ninth Realm Tongxuan has always been a realm of legend, reaching it makes one a rarity in thousands of years.
Three thousand years ago, a peerless Demon Emperor of the Demonic Clan ascended to this supreme realm, becoming the world’s first Tongxuan Realm Demon God, and the only Tongxuan in the mortal realm at that time.
A great calamity descended upon the Human Cultivators.
The Demon God wreaked havoc everywhere and even a successive wave of Immortal Sects couldn’t stop him. Faced with the absolute power in the world, no quantity of humans could ever be enough. It seems that under the leadership of the Demon God, the Demonic Clan was about to conquer the Nine States and Four Seas.
In the face of this deadly crisis, seven elders from Shu Mountain at the Tianyuan Realm brought the Peerless Divine Artifact, Demon Suppressing Pagoda, and sacrificed six of them to finally seal the Demon God in it.
This battle established the Demon Suppressing Pagoda as the number one divine artifact in the Mortal Realm.
The reason is simple. Tongxuan Realm was God, and there existed an immeasurable chasm between God and all other creatures that was not to be challenged, not to be conquered, and not to be surpassed.
But the existence of the Demon Suppressing Pagoda leveled that schism.
Only it could do this, thus it is the supreme divine artifact, no one can dispute this.
But it was rumored that even the Demon Suppressing Pagoda couldn’t annihilate it, it could only seal it. Therefore, during the long years that followed, the Demonic Clan has always been attempting to break through Shu Mountain Sect, to open the Demon Suppressing Pagoda and release that Demon God. Alas, all members of the Demonic Clan who tried this, openly or covertly, inevitably ended up trapped inside the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.
Until five hundred years ago, the Demon Suppressing Pagoda disappeared.
Shu Mountain has yet to provide a concrete reason, or perhaps, they themselves don’t know.
Initially, there were rumors in the martial world that the Demon God broke the Demon Suppressing Pagoda and escaped. Shu Mountain hid this news fearing it could cause panic in the Mortal Realm.
However, after five hundred years, there were no messages of the Demon God’s return, and such rumors gradually subsided.
Three thousand years is too long, and the present Human Clan has long forgotten that terrifying era.
But…

The Demonic Clan always remembers!
They miss those days when the Demonic Clan ruled the world and the Human Clan was on the run.
To the west of the Western Regions lies the boundless Far West Land. It’s wild and cruel, yet it houses the world’s largest Demonic Clan forces.
Its establishment was by the seven strongest Demon Kings who had fled to the Far West Land after the remnants of the original Demon God were chased down.
Named the Seven Kings Ridge!
Seven Kings Ridge has always been dedicated to the revival of the Demonic Clan, it has never given up the hope of welcoming back the Demon God. For the Demonic Clan living in the lands of the Human Clan, Seven Kings Ridge is akin to a distant and noble sanctuary.
And this Divine Envoy in question had come from Seven Kings Ridge.
With shocked gasps and astonished murmurs filling the scene, Chu Liang was also quite startled.
Originally, he came to handle a romantic dispute and had never expected an unexpected harvest.
The return of the Demon God?
If this news is true, it would be enough to shake the Nine States and Four Seas!
The Divine Envoy proclaimed this news with a devout voice, before opening his arms wide.
“The Tiger King is our representative from Seven Kings Ridge to expand the territory. We want to gather our power within the human territory, waiting for the day when God truly returns…”
“…that’s when we rise!”
“Those who are willing to follow in the footsteps of God, join Hidden Forest Mountain. Of course, if you are unwilling, we will not force you. God loves every member of the Demonic Clan.”
…
Though his speech was not lengthy, it set off an explosion in the crowd.
God is to return, and pledging loyalty to the Tiger King is to join God’s camp early. This instantly made many Demon Kings present electrified with red flaming eyes.
Previously, when the Tiger King was lobbying around, many minor Demon Kings were wavering. After all, even if his forces were powerful, there is no need to serve under him if one is living comfortably.
However, in the name of God, things were vastly different.
Many of the demon kings who were hesitant or resolute in their refusal might change their minds in this instant.
Even the Cat King was slightly out of breath.
Chu Liang glanced at him with slight apprehension, fearing that this fellow’s heart would suddenly turn red with ambition and stand up to expose his deceit.
Thankfully, Cat King seemed to still be clear-headed and hadn’t forgotten the purpose of this trip.
When the noise increased, and all the demonic creatures were discussing the envoy’s words, Cat King whispered, “Warrior Chu, we need to act quickly. Once the Tiger King returns to his bridal chamber, we’ll be running out of time.”
The wedding of the Demonic Clan was much simpler than the Human Clan in terms of rituals. After the divine envoy finished speaking, he appeared to have other tasks at hand and hastily left with his retinue.
Once he was gone, Tiger King gestured grandly, then picked up a large jug of wine and began to toast table by table.
Looking around, Chu Liang stood up and left the banquet as well.
According to the plan, Lady Ming, who was now waiting in the bridal chamber, should poison the candles and the wine. When Tiger King was sufficiently inebriated, he would be tricked into drinking the poisoned wine.
Hiding in the dark, Chu Liang would then launch a surprise attack, aims to assassinate him with a sword.
If the target were a cultivator of the Fourth or Fifth Realm, Chu Liang would never proceed in this manner. But if it were a high-ranked demonic creature, it might be worth challenging.
If there was any problem, he could simply crush the jade talisman and summon his master. Given Chu Liang’s understanding of Empress Feng, she should be sober and able to arrive in a short time. Knowing this, he dared to undertake such a risky plan.
Before Tiger King returned to his bridal chamber, Chu Liang needed to sneak in and hide.
So, he began to slink towards the back of the cave.
Behind the hall were the dwellings of Tiger King and some big demons in the Hidden Forest Mountain, akin to a rich family’s backyard, which was where the bridal chamber was located.
The residences of ordinary monsters were usually lax, but the Tiger King was slightly stricter, with numerous small demons patrolling the rear courtyard.
However, at this time, the small demons around him were all drunk, and the guards weren’t paying attention. Chu Liang nearly sneaked into the rear courtyard unnoticed.
Just then, a bull demon adorned with two large horns approached him, abruptly patted Chu Liang’s shoulder, and shouted, “Password!”
“Huh?” Chu Liang’s heart immediately tightened.
There was a password?
The Tiger King’s tight controls over Hidden Forest Mountain were certainly justified given his originating from Seven Kings Ridge.
He couldn’t help but reach out to touch the flying sword bracelet on his left hand while mumbling, “Tiger covers the king.”
Immediately, he prepared his sword, ready to strike and kill the bull demon should the latter attack. After that, he would ignore all else and immediately summon his master.
However…
The outcome was unexpected.
The bull demon nodded after hearing Chu Liang’s response and then passed by him without a care.
Huh?
Chu Liang was stunned, could he have guessed the password correctly?
This was absolutely absurd.
Due to this unexpected turn of events, Chu Liang took another look at the bull demon’s back. The bull demon walked confidently into the rear courtyard, along the way met two patrolling little demons.
One of them shouted, “Password!”
The confident bull demon replied, “Tiger covers the king!”
Immediately, both little demons pulled out their weapons and yelled, “Spy!”
At that moment, the bull demon turned his head and looked at Chu Liang with eyes full of bewilderment and surprise as he lost half of his horns due to the large gesture…
He looked utterly lost and deceived.
