Chapter 985: Chapter 981: Exchange

Chi Haoyang slowly opened his eyes.

Worn out, aloof, calm.

His body gently floated upwards, as if supported by an invisible force, extending his legs to slowly step onto the ground.

The whole person was already completely different.

The previously gaunt and downtrodden body was now as strong as a pine, imposing and towering.

This was the confidence of a Great Sky Demon, standing on the pinnacle of the Demon World, able to overlook all demons.

Most importantly, even in death, the memories of this life would remain in the Demon Abyss, to be recalled upon achieving Great Sky Demon again.

”Thank you, Young Master.” He solemnly cupped his fists.

Leng Tieya smiled, waving a hand: ”Sir, are you planning to return to the Chi Family first?”

To return home without flaunting one’s wealth is like wearing a fine garment at night, unseen.

After becoming a Great Sky Demon, the thing Chi Haoyang most wanted to do was surely to return to the Chi Family.

To shock all the Chi Family, and to be able to hold his head high, venting the frustrations in his heart.

Simultaneously, to find the person who framed him and take revenge.

Chi Haoyang’s eyes flickered, revealing a longing look: ”I should go back and take a look.”

Leng Tieya said, ”I will be going to the Great Heavenly Demon Palace someday. You can stay with the Chi Family; no need to come with me.”

”Yes.” Chi Haoyang said solemnly: ”If the Young Master has any commands, just send someone with a letter.”

Leng Tieya laughed and said, ”I won’t be courteous. Before going to the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, I must visit the Meng Family first. Would you accompany me?”

No matter whether it is about Canghai’s Handwriting or the Soul Suppressing Seal, a visit to the Meng Family is necessary.

The Meng Family also has Great Sky Demons, but if we deploy two Great Sky Demons, the Meng Family won’t be able to retain us.

Intimidating the Meng Family, so they won’t dare act rashly, would make it easier to have a peaceful discussion.

”Alright.” Chi Haoyang solemnly cupped his fists in salute.

”Then we’ll meet in Zhongyun City six days later.”

As Leng Tieya spoke, his figure began to blur, then disappeared.

——

Morning

The bright sunlight shone upon the Leng Mansion.

Outside the main gate of the Leng Mansion, a group of attendants surrounded Leng Yuqing.

Leng Yuqing, her jade-like face composed, looked coldly at Leng Tieya, frowning: ”Third Brother, think it over again.”

”Big Sister, I’ve really thought it through.” Leng Tieya said helplessly: ”At this time, Canghai’s Handwriting should have safely returned by now, all is well.”

”And the Soul Suppressing Seal?” Leng Yuqing said: ”How could they possibly let you off? They will definitely find ways to deal with you.”

”I am now a disciple of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace; the Meng Family wouldn’t dare.”

”They can pretend not to know.”

”Can they possibly impersonate this?” Leng Tieya took out a token from his sleeve and shook it: ”Just rest assured.”

”I really don’t know why you insist on going to the Meng Family; it would be best to stay far away. Why bother going? ...Is there some benefit?”

”You understand me, Big Sister indeed.”

”What benefit?”

Leng Tieya said: ”Canghai’s Handwriting isn’t complete, and this Meng Changhai is a Supreme Heavenly Demon; I want to see if he has other items.”

”...Would you exchange with the Soul Suppressing Seal?”

”That depends on whether what they offer is worth it.”

”...Little brother, think it through. This is a Demon Artifact.”

”Does the Family Head have any thoughts?” Leng Tieya turned to glance at the Leng Mansion’s gate, shaking his head: ”This isn’t the Leng Family’s Demon Artifact; it’s my Demon Artifact.”

”You’re still part of the Leng Family.” Leng Yuqing said: ”Don’t say such distant words.”

Leng Tieya, not wanting to say more, said: ”Alright, Big Sister, be wary of the Lu Family, let’s go.”

”Be very careful. At the critical moment, abandoning the Soul Suppressing Seal is no matter; you are what’s most important.”

”Only Big Sister thinks so; we’re leaving.”

Leng Tieya smiled somewhat mysteriously, waved a hand, and turned to drift away, disappearing in the blink of an eye at the end of the street.

Leng Yuqing watched his disappearing figure and sighed.

She had thought that with her little brother becoming a Great Sky Demon, everything would change.

But now it seems, nothing seems different.

The Family Head, because of his wife, neglects her little brother, which is quite unwise; is he getting senile?

Thinking of this, she sighed lightly, looking apprehensively at the mansion gate.

At this time, the mansion gate suddenly felt unfamiliar, even a bit strange.

Her previous understanding seemed shallow; she never really understood the Leng Family.

...

Leng Tieya exited the West City Gate and joined up with Chi Haoyang who was waiting nearby.

Seeing Chi Haoyang full of Essence Qi, with all his desolation and oppression completely gone, he laughed: ”Sir’s visit to the Chi Family, was it fulfilling?”

”Very good.” Chi Haoyang smiled, filled with emotion: ”Becoming a Great Sky Demon, things indeed are different; all faces are smiling, and everything around becomes friendly.”

Leng Tieya laughed: ”Would anyone dare to show unfriendly faces to a Great Sky Demon? Has the revenge been taken?”

”I returned on the first evening, but I didn’t take action. That night, the person who framed me committed suicide.” Chi Haoyang shook his head: ”I didn’t have to lift a finger.”

”Did he commit suicide, or was it forced?” Leng Tieya asked: ”Could it be the Chi Family forced him to suicide?”

”Very likely.” Chi Haoyang said: ”He was a mid-level in the family, with parents above and children below, many attachments. He lived well, so it was naturally a forced suicide.”

”Couldn’t vent the pent-up frustration.”

”Actually, it’s for the best, avoiding personal action means less killing.”

”Haha...” Leng Tieya chuckled: ”Sir, it turns out, does not like killing; this is quite contrary to our Demon World.”

”I don’t want to be weak, but it’s something in my bones that can’t change.” Chi Haoyang sighed: ”Maybe it’s related to my previous life.”

Leng Tieya nodded, refraining from asking about his previous life, who he was, or what he did.

This is taboo.

The two chatted as they traveled, passing through endless forests and towering mountains.

As Great Sky Demons, their Demon Yuan had undergone a qualitative change, making their speed incredibly fast, their figures almost a blur.

Within half a day, they reached the Meng Family, a thousand miles away.

The grandeur of the Meng Mansion was much greater than that of the Leng Mansion.

Occupying an entire street, with a three-layered gatehouse, it was both ancient and splendid.

One look at this main gate, and it was clear this was a millennia-old aristocratic family, unlike the ordinary.

As they appeared, the four guards in front of the gatehouse turned pale.

They deliberately exuded their presence, the imposing force of a Great Sky Demon was like a towering peak, as if the mountain was about to topple, inducing an urge to flee.

Leng Tieya, smiling warmly, looked at the four, gently said: ”Please inform the Young Master Meng Qi that Leng Tieya from Zhongyun City is visiting.”

The four guards were momentarily stunned upon hearing this, the leading guard cupped his fists with a smile: ”So it’s Young Master Leng, the fifth young master has already instructed, please follow me.”

Leng Tieya nodded: ”Where is Young Master Meng?”

”The fifth young master is in seclusion for cultivation, instructed me to inform him when Young Master Leng arrives, and he will emerge to entertain.”

”Young Master Meng is indeed very hospitable.”

The middle-aged guard led them through a side gate into the Meng Mansion, then headed east, passing through three moon gates to a small courtyard.

Here, a maid served tea and refreshments, while the middle-aged guard accompanied them.

After the duration of one incense stick, Meng Qi appeared before Leng Tieya.

Meng Qi was momentarily stunned seeing Chi Haoyang.

Leng Tieya chuckled: ”Young Master Meng, you recognize Mr. Chi, don’t you? Thanks to our last contest, Mr. Chi has ascended to the Great Heavenly Demon Realm.”

Meng Qi’s face was stiff, forcing a smile as he cupped his fists: ”Congratulations to Mr. Chi.”

Chi Haoyang solemnly cupped his fists, remaining silent.

Leng Tieya took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and directly remarked, ”Young Master Meng, your family’s invitation wasn’t about the Soul Suppressing Seal, was it?”

”Well... Can Young Master Leng return the Soul Suppressing Seal?” Meng Qi’s expression was earnest, yet a bit embarrassed.

Leng Tieya smiled but said nothing.

Meng Qi said, ”Our family possesses a relic from Ancestor Canghai; would you exchange it for the Soul Suppressing Seal?”

Leng Tieya laughed: ”Now that you know Canghai’s Handwriting can allow a demon to ascend to a Great Sky Demon, you still want to exchange Canghai’s relic for the Soul Suppressing Seal?”

Meng Qi sternly replied: ”The Soul Suppressing Seal is more important to our family!”
