Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

Several elders who were about to step forward froze on the spot, at a loss for what to do.

"Clan chief?"

An elder tentatively called out.

Wolf Howler ignored him.

The darkness in his eyes disappeared, and his eyes regained their clarity.

He slowly turned his head.

Looking at Wolf Shaoxuan in front of him.

The father and son looked at each other.

After a brief silence.

On Lang Xiaotian's majestic face, the muscles twitched slightly.

Then.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes blazed with an unprecedented fervor and awe.

"Shao Xuan."

Wolf Howler's voice trembled slightly.

"you're right."

"As a father, I was indeed too short-sighted!"

He grabbed Lang Shaoxuan's shoulder with his other hand, the force so great that Lang Shaoxuan's bones creaked.

"This child..."

"No, sir."

"Truly an unparalleled expert!"

The father and son spoke in unison.

His tone was filled with the feeling of "I am the only one who is sober while everyone else is drunk".

The elders on both sides of the main hall were completely dumbfounded.

This is...

What on earth happened?!

The clan chief who just wanted to lock his son in a water dungeon and break someone's neck.

Why did the young master touch my shoulder?

They suddenly changed their tune?!

And you're all joining in calling him a tough guy?!

Are these two, father and son, from the Black Flame Wolf Clan, possessed by evil spirits?!

but.

Under the perfect logical closed loop of the Seed of the Heavenly Demon.

Lang Xiaotian didn't think anything was wrong with him at all.

Even if there are any abnormalities, they will be instantly suppressed by the Heavenly Demon Seed, which may even take over consciousness.

In his subconscious.

Through his contact with Shao Xuan, he had vaguely sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the ape youth, an aura as unfathomable as an abyss.

That's definitely not some kind of True Realm!

That was an unparalleled being capable of crushing him!

What's a woman compared to befriending such a formidable person?

What's the big deal about giving away an industry?

This is called investment!

That's called having a broad perspective!

"Shao Xuan, you did a great job."

Lang Xiaotian patted his son's shoulder with satisfaction, his face full of admiration.

"Tonight's welcome banquet must be a grand affair!"

"Bring out all the finest spirit wine from the City Lord's mansion!"

"As your father, I must personally offer a toast to that esteemed gentleman!"

Wolf Shaoxuan smiled slightly.

"Father was wise."

The father and son smiled at each other, their joy palpable.

It was as if the tense standoff from just moments ago had never existed.

"but."

Lang Xiaotian's smile suddenly faded.

His brows furrowed slightly.

He sighed, his tone revealing a deep worry.

"Let's put aside the matter of befriending adults for now."

"Right now, we still have a huge problem that we haven't solved."

Lang Shaoxuan's expression also turned serious.

"Father, are you referring to... the mission assigned by the envoy of the Primordial Demon Sect?"

Lang Xiaotian nodded heavily.

He walked up the steps of the main hall, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the gloom outside the hall.

"One hundred thousand top-grade fire spirit mushrooms."

"Pay in full within three months."

"This is simply an impossible task."

Lang Xiaotian gritted his teeth, his voice filled with extreme frustration.

"The finest Fire Spirit Mushroom only grows deep within the Crimson Flame Crater."

"What place is that?"

"That's the lair of a ferocious beast!"

Lang Xiaotian turned around and looked at Lang Shaoxuan.

"Ferocious beasts are different from us demonic beasts."

"We demons, though bloodthirsty, at least possess intelligence and know how to seek advantage and avoid harm. If we can't win, we know to run and beg for mercy."

"But what about those ferocious beasts?"

"They have absolutely no intelligence!"

"Their minds are filled only with the most primal instinct to kill!"

"Even if you cut off half of its body, it will still crawl over with its intestines hanging out and tear your throat apart!"

"Not afraid of death, unaware of pain."

"Most importantly, the Crimson Flame Crater is teeming with ferocious beasts at the True Formation Realm, and even a beast king at the Transcendent Realm!"

Lang Xiaotian punched a stone pillar next to him.

The stone pillar is covered with cracks.

"Should we send our Black Flame Wolf Clan to that perilous place to gather 100,000 top-grade Fire Spirit Mushrooms?"

"What's the difference between this and sending us to our deaths?!"

Wolf Shaoxuan fell silent.

He knew his father was telling the truth.

The ferocious beasts possess extremely powerful physical bodies; at the same cultivation level, demons are no match for them.

Going to the Crimson Flame Crater to collect herbs is risking your life.

"Your Excellency, this is a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for us."

Wolf Shaoxuan said in a low voice.

"Making things difficult?"

Lang Xiaotian sneered, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"He's pushing me!"

"A month ago, the people from the Beginning Demon Sect approached me, wanting to recruit my Black Flame Wolf Clan to become their vassals."

"Having a top-tier sect as a backer is usually a good thing."

"but!"

Wolf Howler's voice rose a few decibels.

"Their condition for me to join the demon race is that I must fall into the demonic path!"

"Accepting the demonic energy infusion from the Primordial Demon Sect will corrupt your true spirit!"

"Once I fall into the demonic path, will I, Lang Xiaotian, still be me?"

"It's good that the initiation was successful."

"If I fail, I will become a demonic puppet who only knows how to kill and has lost all self-awareness!"

"How could I, the dignified patriarch of the Black Flame Wolf Clan, possibly agree to such conditions?!"

Lang Xiaotian took a deep breath.

I declined.

"As a result, a feud was formed."

"That special envoy didn't say anything on the surface, but then he assigned me this mission with a ten-fold chance of death."

"If he fails to complete the task, he will have a legitimate reason to slaughter my Sky Wolf City!"

Inside the main hall.

Silence fell once again.

The domineering nature of the Primordial Demon Sect made everyone feel suffocated.

Accepting the mission means certain death.

Not answering means certain death.

The Black Flame Wolf Clan seems to have reached a dead end.

"Father."

Lang Shaoxuan raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

"Perhaps, we can ask that ape lord for help tonight."

"With his strength, if he were willing to lend a hand..."

Lang Xiaotian shook his head with a wry smile.

"Shao Xuan, you're too naive."

"That lord may be an unparalleled powerhouse, but even if he is strong, can he be stronger than the ferocious beasts in the Crimson Flame Crater?"

"Besides, there are tens of thousands of fearless beasts there."

"In my opinion, that person is at most a top-tier existence in the Transcendent Realm."

Human strength has its limits.

"Even he would be worn down to death in such a desperate situation."

The father and son remained silent.

His face was full of worry.

......

Meanwhile, on Su Yu's side...

A quiet underground room.

The dim light of the luminous pearl gently spilled onto the bluestone floor.

Su Yu sat cross-legged.

His tattered white robe was already soaked with sweat and purplish-gold blood.

in vivo.

The "Primordial Chaos Creation Body" crushes the violent medicinal power of the Nine-Turn Life Bone Witch Pill bit by bit.

It merges into the source of the flesh, which is riddled with holes.

The parched Xingyuan Cave is beginning to regain its vitality.

a drop.

Two drops.

Three drops.

Pure physical mass, like a lake that has been parched for a long time and is now receiving rain, rises gently upwards.

Rest assured and heal your wounds.

As for the turbulent waves outside, and the inescapable net of the Xuanhuang Dao Court and the Jiuli Witchcraft Tribe.

Not worth mentioning.

As long as you don't actively reveal the aura of the divine kingdom.

On the remote edge of the Demon Abyss of Ten Thousand Spirits, who could have imagined that the most powerful figure in the town, wanted by the entire world, was actually there?
