Chapter 981: Chapter 977: Redemption

Song Zhixia’s eyes immediately sparkled as she leaped to her feet, opened the window, and looked out.

Fulai Restaurant is a circular structure, with a central courtyard and a circular stage in the middle.

By opening the window, the entire stage could be seen, as well as parts of the first and second floors.

She saw the patrons on the first and second floors rise one after the other, either finishing their drinks in one gulp or calling to friends, and heading outside.

Clearly, they were going to fight over Canghai’s Handwriting.

She turned her head to look at Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang, sitting calmly as if they were uninvolved.

She chided, ”Sister, don’t just sit there, aren’t we going to join in the scramble?”

Song Lianshuang spoke softly, ”Little sister, didn’t Brother Leng say that it’s not something good.”

”But...” Song Zhixia thought that even if there was a risk, it was worth a try.

Song Lianshuang shook her head and said, ”Think about it, how many Heavenly Demons have used it to become Great Sky Demons over the years.”

Even though she had good talent, she was not the exceptional genius of the generation.

Even if someone were the top of their generation, Canghai’s Handwriting might not help them become a Great Sky Demon.

Entering the Great Heavenly Demon Palace and cultivating step by step, the chance of advancing to a Great Sky Demon is much higher than with Canghai’s Handwriting.

So there’s no need to fight for it.

Leng Tieya laughed, ”Can the experts of the Meng Family have their whereabouts discovered so easily?”

”Hmm—?” Song Zhixia’s bright eyes twinkled with surprise, ”Are they fake?”

”At least a visible and an invisible one, right?” Leng Tieya remarked.

This is the most basic and simplest tactic that the Meng Family would not overlook.

Could these Demon Clan members below not think of it too?

I bet many thought of it but still wanted to join the bustle, partly out of luck, and partly because being part of the crowd lowers intelligence, and emotions lead to a loss of calm.

More importantly, the distance between this Fulai Restaurant and the Lu Mansion is not far, just within the range of the Super Sense.

The Demons returning to the Meng Family split into three groups.

One group consisted of Meng Qi and two Meng Family experts, another two experts formed a second group, and a third group was made up of two additional experts.

Meng Qi’s group was the visible one, and the remaining two groups were the invisible ones.

These two groups of experts did not know whether the Canghai’s Handwriting they held was real.

Only Meng Qi and the two experts with him knew which route was the real one.

Leng Tieya nodded secretly in approval.

This not only guarded against the outside but also the Lu Family and even the Meng Family’s own experts.

It can only be said that they deserve to be a top family, their actions are indeed experienced.

This also prevents these experts themselves from being unable to resist the temptation and making mistakes.

Leng Tieya was more impressed that all three paths were actually fake.

Others are a mix of truth and falsity, whereas the Meng Family’s tactic is false through and through.

All three routes are fake, and the real Canghai’s Handwriting is still in the Lu Family.

Canghai’s Handwriting is hidden in a secret room of the Lu Family, sealed by a special container, leaking no aura.

Yet he has already established a strange spiritual connection with Canghai’s Handwriting, sensing its presence.

He clearly sensed that Canghai’s Handwriting was within the Lu Mansion.

The Demons outside were being completely tricked, busy for nothing.

Song Zhixia was unwilling to give up, ”If we’re not going to join the scramble, let’s at least go see the excitement.”

Song Lianshuang chuckled and shook her head.

Song Zhixia quickly said, ”Sister, I promise I won’t join in, just watching the excitement!”

Song Lianshuang said, ”Little sister, this excitement is nothing good to watch, it’s rather ugly, better to read a book or play the zither.”

”I like watching the excitement, sister—!” Song Zhixia shook Song Lianshuang’s arm.

Song Lianshuang swayed back and forth but only smiled without agreeing.

Song Zhixia’s bright eyes turned, and she coyly smiled at Leng Tieya, ”Brother Leng, don’t you want to see the Meng Family suffer?”

Leng Tieya laughed, ”The Meng Family won’t suffer, those joining the hustle will.”

Song Zhixia snorted, ”No matter how strong the Meng Family is, they can’t block so many Heavenly Demons, right?”

”Then shall we stand back and watch from afar?” Leng Tieya looked at Song Lianshuang with a smile.

Song Lianshuang glared at Song Zhixia, ”It won’t cause trouble, right? Especially since your relationship with the Meng Family is too sensitive.”

Being identified by the Meng Family as instigating the demons to seize Canghai’s Handwriting would deepen the grudge.

Leng Tieya laughed, ”Even if we don’t go, the Meng Family would still think I was being tricky, we’ll stay a bit further away, not too close to get splashed.”

”Right, right, right.” Song Zhixia eagerly agreed: ”Brother Leng, sister, let’s go quickly.”

...

They arrived at a mountaintop outside Zhongyun City and saw a fight in front of a forest.

A group of Demon Clan experts were besieging Meng Qi and two middle-aged men in the center.

The three formed a triangular formation, with Meng Qi charging ahead and the two middle-aged men guarding his flanks and rear.

Meng Qi’s fists were like hammers, unstoppable, with almost no opponent able to take a single move.

Those who besieged him were all Heavenly Demons; anyone below that wouldn’t dare sacrifice themselves.

Blades flashed like bolts of silk, and the Sword Aura was substantial and powerful, shattering branches and exploding stones wherever it passed.

But as soon as the blade light and Sword Aura touched the copper hammer formed by his double fists, they annihilated and vanished.

If anyone approached, they would be sent flying upon contact with his fists, coughing blood in the air.

The other two middle-aged Meng Family experts didn’t show overwhelming strength but were not weak either, blocking those attempting stealth attacks from behind.

Meng Qi’s fists swung wildly, his feet moved tirelessly, and his speed was incredible.

In the blink of an eye, he had already entered the forest.

The trees couldn’t withstand the fiery hearts of the Heavenly Demons, who followed them inside.

Leng Tieya and the two women stood atop the mountain, watching as the forest visibly lost patches of trees, turning into open clearings.

It was as if a giant serpent was devouring these trees, forming a long pathway.

”These guys.”

Song Zhixia broke off a branch and waved it forcefully, drawing circles towards the Demons below.

Seeing them so ineffective, she shook her head, frustrated at their lack of progress.

Song Lianshuang spoke softly, ”Is this the prowess of a disciple from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace?”

”He’s not practicing the Meng Family’s mental method, is he?” Leng Tieya commented.

Song Lianshuang shook her head, ”The Meng Family’s Zhen martial art is Swordsmanship; his Fist Technique should be a rare skill from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace.”

Song Zhixia said, ”When he fought you, Brother Leng, he wasn’t this impressive.”

”Maybe he was holding back?” Leng Tieya laughed.

Song Zhixia rolled her eyes at him, dissatisfied with him humoring her as if she were a child.

Song Lianshuang said, ”They can’t stop Meng Qi; they want to retreat.”

She observed that fewer Heavenly Demons were attacking, many hesitated to act.

Leng Tieya said, ”If I were Meng Qi, I wouldn’t let them go, it’s a perfect opportunity to establish authority.”

Meng Qi’s defeat in the previous match actually harmed his reputation.

Many Demons couldn’t help but think Meng Qi was all show, that the Meng Family had declined.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Meng Qi to restore his and the Meng Family’s reputation.

Just as he finished speaking, Meng Qi’s voice rang out: ”Canghai’s Handwriting is here, who dares to come and take it!”

He held up a long cylinder in his hand, as long and thick as an arm.

He shook it forcefully a couple of times, then laughed loudly: ”If you want to snatch it, come on, defeat me, and it’s yours!”

He continued laughing loudly: ”Leng Tieya used this to break through to a Great Sky Demon!”

”Snatch—!”

The surrounding Heavenly Demons rushed forward again, frenzied as if risking their lives.

Leng Tieya shook his head.

Song Zhixia sighed, ”I must admit, this Meng Qi really has a ruthless streak.”

Song Lianshuang said, ”This is fake, right?”

”Fake.” Leng Tieya nodded.

”So even if someone snatches it, it won’t matter.” Song Lianshuang said, ”He just wants to use this battle to reestablish his prestige, right?”

Leng Tieya nodded.

Song Zhixia waved her branch dismissively, ”This is really troublesome.”

She didn’t expect it to be all about scheming, feeling like a fool herself.

Leng Tieya suddenly laughed, ”Here’s a tough challenger, Meng Qi’s in trouble!”

He saw a middle-aged man appear from afar, floating like a leaf in the wind, but moving at high speed.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the outside of the crowd of Heavenly Demons, tall and thin, standing with his hands behind his back.

The dust and downcast look couldn’t hide his handsome appearance.

”Sister Song, do you recognize him?” Leng Tieya gestured with his mouth.

Song Lianshuang shook her head slightly, ”Is his cultivation very strong?”

”About a paper-thin distance away from the Great Sky Demon.” Leng Tieya said, ”Far stronger than Meng Qi.”
