Chapter 168: Human Wisdom, Who Dares to Kill My Son?

"Hum..."

Enlightenment, enlightenment; so-called enlightenment is to comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Beings of this realm possess incredible, unfathomable power in every gesture, as if they could even command Heaven and Earth itself.

As this Great Demon of Enlightenment launched a fierce attack, Liu Moxuan, within Niankong Villa, also silently made her move.

Things having reached this point, even though Liu Moxuan knew she had made a poor strategic move, she had no choice but to fight.

With so many Great Demons gathered around Niankong Villa, Gu Shengxi was their target, and her son Gu Nianmo was also their target. Since they had already killed their way to the doorstep, how could Liu Moxuan dare to hold back?

Inside Niankong Villa, Wang Qinghe had also stepped out. Holding Gu Shengxi in her arms, she stood with Gu Nianmo in the villa, watching with complex eyes the battle in the firmament where every movement carried the power of Heaven and Earth.

"I should leave now..."

Wang Qinghe's gaze was so complex; after all, regarding Liu Moxuan, Wang Qinghe truly did not have much affection at first.

It was not just Liu Moxuan; she felt no affection for Jiu Jiu either.

Gu Jiangming's women all felt that the other women were the bad ones on the outside; wanting them to have any affection for each other was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Yet, seeing Liu Moxuan fighting the Great Demon of Enlightenment to protect her, even gambling the entire Niankong Villa, how could Wang Qinghe's heart not be complex?

"It is already too late to leave now!"

"There are too many Great Demons of Heaven and Earth Enlightenment outside. Even if you want to leave, Auntie, I fear you cannot get out of Niankong Villa!"

Gu Nianmo looked at Wang Qinghe beside him. Unlike Liu Moxuan, he did not have much ill will toward Wang Qinghe, and could even call her Auntie Wang Qinghe for Gu Shengxi's sake.

Although Gu Nianmo was not particularly fond of this aunt of his, he was very fond of his younger brother, Gu Shengxi.

Perhaps having inherited Gu Jiangming's sense of responsibility, Gu Nianmo felt that since Gu Shengxi was his younger brother, he had the duty to protect him, just as Gu Jiangming and Liu Moxuan had protected him in his childhood.

"Hum..."

Inside Niankong Villa, Gu Nianmo had acknowledged a sister for his own mother. Outside Niankong Villa, three or five more Great Demons of Enlightenment no longer concealed their auras, stepping out from the Void, their eyes revealing endless greed as they fiercely headed toward Niankong Villa.

"You all wish to lay hands on the Human Emperor Supreme of our Human Race; have you asked our Human Race?"

The moment these three or five Great Demons attacked, both Liu Moxuan and the Great Demon she was fighting felt a sense of urgency. Yet, before the two of them could draw those three or five Great Demons into the battlefield, an aged sigh spread from outside Niankong Villa.

Accompanying the spread of this sigh, an aged figure erupted with the strength of Heaven and Earth Enlightenment, and regardless of the endless malice surrounding him, he charged straight toward those three or five Great Demons.

"Old Man Taicang!"

In Niankong Villa, besides Liu Moxuan, Gu Nianmo, Wang Qinghe, and others, there were other cultivators of Niankong Villa.

Even though their strength was insufficient to touch this battlefield, they still guarded Gu Nianmo and Wang Qinghe closely.

Gu Nianmo was their Young Master, and the Gu Shengxi in Wang Qinghe's arms was the young Human Emperor Supreme of the Human Race.

From the perspective of Niankong Villa, they were willing to die for Gu Nianmo; from the perspective of the Human Race, they were prepared to fight to the last drop of blood this time.

Gu Nianmo had not traveled the world, so he did not recognize Old Man Taicang, but the others in Niankong Villa recognized this Human Race powerhouse of Enlightenment the moment they saw his figure.

"Human Race..."

"A race like pigs and dogs; why should we seek the consent of your Human Race for what we wish to do?"

Old Man Taicang's combat power was extremely strong. As soon as he entered the fray, he directly entangled the five Great Demons who had already attacked.

Old Man Taicang knew that it was impossible to rely solely on his and Liu Moxuan's power to resist six Great Demons, but he still led those five Great Demons into the battlefield.

This was the simplest strategy of driving a wolf to swallow a tiger. Niankong Villa's power was too weak, and these Great Demons all wanted the Supreme Bone and Qilin Divine Blood; drawing them into the same battlefield would instead make these Great Demons wary of each other.

Eight beings of the Enlightenment Realm fought together in the firmament, the terrifying shockwaves causing the sky to tremble.

They harnessed the power of Heaven and Earth, appearing like gods and demons descending to the world.

A massive, booming sound resounded through the Four Wilds and Eight Desolations, and everyone in the entire world with the ability to do so cast their gaze toward the vicinity of Niankong Villa.

Beings of the Enlightenment Realm naturally had long lifespans, and each was a pillar of their own race.

If not for immense interests involved, these beings of the Enlightenment Realm would almost all be transcendent and aloof from the world.

But at this moment, above Niankong Villa, there were already eight such transcendent beings, and there were countless more Great Demons of Enlightenment hiding in the shadows.

Just as Old Man Taicang joined the battlefield, a sneer came from the Void.

Clearly, the Human Race's previous helpless state had truly given these Great Demons a show to watch.

"I am curious, if the Red Lotus Demon Venerable were here, I wonder how many of you would dare to call my Human Race a race like pigs and dogs?"

Only a voice could be heard from the Void, with no figure to be seen, yet near Niankong Villa, another Human of Enlightenment wreathed in lightning walked out slowly.

This Human of Enlightenment wreathed in lightning wore Daoist robes, and his face was aged.

When he walked out, he clearly bowed slightly to the four directions, but the words he spoke caused those Great Demons of Enlightenment to falter abruptly.

Although the old man in the Daoist robe did not carry much threat in his words, and was even gentle, few of the previously clamoring Great Demons responded.

These Great Demons might look down on the Human Race, but none of them would ever look down on Gu Jiangming, the Red Lotus Demon Venerable.

If it were the Gu Jiangming who had not yet shown his strength, it would be one thing, but Gu Jiangming had killed six Great Demons of Enlightenment and severely wounded three in that valley battle, already proving the terror of his strength.

Having cultivated to the realm of Heaven and Earth Enlightenment, these old demons were very clear that unless one had divine artifacts or similar items on their person, it was extremely difficult to kill even the weakest of Enlightenment beings.

Yet Gu Jiangming had killed them, and not only killed them, but killed six in a row.

Such strength, even for the Great Demons who often sneered at the Human Race, was something they dared not disrespect or fear.

"Your Human Race's Red Lotus Demon Venerable is indeed very strong; in a one-on-one fight, even we old things who have lived for tens of thousands of years might not be his match, but is your Human Race's Red Lotus Demon Venerable truly still alive?"

"Even if he is alive, his injuries will likely take several years to recover from, right?"

Someone among the Enlightenment beings hidden in the Void responded. The voice was identical to the previous one; even though it had been silent for a moment, the voice still carried a sneer when it spoke.

"Father..."

In Niankong Villa, Gu Nianmo listened to the verbal exchange between the two in the world, and thought of his father, who went by the name Red Lotus Demon Venerable.

Regarding his father, Gu Nianmo's memories were already very hazy, so hazy that in his memory, he seemed to have always lived with his mother.

But Gu Nianmo knew very well that his father had always been there; he had always been secretly protecting Niankong Villa. It was just that besides Niankong Villa, his father had more, more important things to do.

Gu Nianmo's feelings for his father were complex; having a younger brother appear out of thin air, it was impossible not to be complex...

However, Gu Nianmo did not resent Gu Jiangming for not appearing sooner. His own strength was also quite high, and he understood that once one cultivated to his mother's realm, wanting to kill a being of the same realm was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Yet his father had killed six Great Demons in one breath.

Under these circumstances, even any mortal of the Human Race who knows of the existence of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable would know that the injuries on the Red Lotus Demon Venerable are likely extremely severe! "The one speaking outside is the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain of the Human Race!"

"During the internal strife of the Human Race previously, the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain had briefly entered the Human Territory, and later uprooted the mountain and left."

This time, Wang Qinghe actually recognized the identity of the one outside Niankong Villa; Wang Qinghe was not entirely ignorant of the Human Race, at least she had some impression of the few Dao-Enlightenment experts of the Human Race who were not in the Human Territory.

"Alive, he should be alive!"

"Injured, he should also be injured; within a hundred years, the injuries of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable may be very difficult to heal."

"But have you all truly prepared to become enemies with the Red Lotus Demon Venerable?"

"You all know clearly that once we reach this realm, unless it is crushing strength, it is a difficult matter to kill us."

"The Red Lotus Demon Venerable killed six Dao-Enlightenment experts in nine days; perhaps those six were the weakest among the Dao-Enlightenment, although we all know this is impossible, it is even more terrifying."

"If I have not investigated wrongly, that young son of the Human Emperor Supreme that you all want is the son of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable."

"Even if you all obtain the Supreme Bone, which one among you truly has the certainty to advance further within a hundred years?"

"If you cannot, when the Red Lotus Demon Venerable comes out of seclusion, your lives are not something that one cannot take!"

"This Heaven and Earth is large, yet also small; being targeted by a Demon Venerable capable of killing us, even if one obtains the Supreme Bone, I fear the future years will be lived in fear and trepidation!"

The Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain did not enter the battlefield at the first moment; at this moment, he did not look like a Daoist, but rather like a lobbyist.

He stood outside that Niankong Villa, his Daoist robe moving with the wind, his words gentle like fine rain and spring breeze, yet the words spoken made one have to ponder.

Especially after the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain pointed out that Gu Shengxi was the son of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, the malice of those Dao-Enlightenment great demons suddenly stagnated at this moment.

They were all old demons who had lived for tens of thousands of years; they naturally understood that if the words of the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain were true, even if one of them truly obtained the Supreme Bone, they would likely be constantly hunted down.

As the words of the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain fell, the intensity of the entire battlefield outside Niankong Villa slowed down.

Those old demons who had not yet decided whether to strike were silent for a long time at this moment; the atmosphere outside the entire Niankong Villa was truly strange.

Inside Niankong Villa, Gu Nianmo also cast his gaze upon that Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain.

He did not know how this Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain had obtained the information, but he vaguely felt that the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain and that previous voice should have been prepared from the very beginning.

The Old Man Taicang employed the strategy of driving the wolf to swallow the tiger, while the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain sang in harmony with that Dao-Enlightenment expert hidden in the Void outside Niankong Villa, pointing out the pros and cons in a few words, employing the strategy of beating the grass to startle the snake.

It must be said that the wisdom of the Human Race is truly extraordinary; at least at this moment, those great demons were truly thinking seriously.

"Just using a reputation to shock those people so they dare not act rashly, Red Lotus Demon Venerable, how majestic!"

"However, the wisdom of the Human Race..."

"Four Dao-Enlightenment experts of the Human Race, instead, deterred over seventy Dao-Enlightenment great demons into a temporary stagnation."

"The Human Race, perhaps they really are not as unbearable as I saw before!"

In the Dragon Palace, the old Dragon King also saw that the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain and that Dao-Enlightenment expert hidden in the dark were singing in harmony, but he also had to admit that the wisdom of the Human Race seemed to really have something to it.

The old Dragon King had also looked down upon the Human Race before, but after this incident, the old Dragon King remembered the wisdom of the Human Race clearly.

"Can the old Daoist's scheme succeed?"

"But to be able to make these old demons hesitate just by relying on his own reputation, that kid really makes one have to admire him!"

On the battlefield, the Old Man Taicang sighed lightly in his heart.

The three Dao-Enlightenment experts who walked out of the Human Territory had discussed it when facing the siege of Niankong Villa.

It is just a pity that the time was too short, and they could only discuss such a rough scheme in a short time.

But looking at it now, everything seems to be developing in a good direction?

"The Red Lotus Demon Venerable is indeed very strong, but no matter how strong he is, can he be an enemy to our seventy-plus Dao-Enlightenment experts?"

"We do not need to monopolize the Supreme Bone; each of us can just cut off a particle or two of powder!"

"If I have not guessed wrong, that Qilin Divine Child should also be the son of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, right?"

"His Qilin Divine Blood will be even easier to divide!"

"Everyone, since we are no match for the Red Lotus Demon Venerable alone, then let us unite!"

"Even if we do not cut up the Supreme Bone, we can fully comprehend the Supreme Bone together; as long as the Red Lotus Demon Venerable dares to show his face, we will kill him together. At that time, how the Supreme Bone is distributed will be our own internal affair, will it not?"

Seeing that the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain's strategy of beating the grass to startle the snake had already seen initial results, however, the next moment, a clear suggestive voice came from the Void of this Niankong Villa again.

With the rise of this suggestive voice, the many old demons outside Niankong Villa once again revealed their malice.

They were not willing to return empty-handed like this, and now this voice gave them a new line of thought.

Since the Red Lotus Demon Venerable can kill any one of them, then they can just comprehend the Supreme Bone together!

If the Red Lotus Demon Venerable dares to come, their seventy-plus Dao-Enlightenment experts will surely be able to make the Red Lotus Demon Venerable unable to return!

As for whether the Red Lotus Demon Venerable will come?

Having killed his two sons in succession, if the Red Lotus Demon Venerable does not show his face even then, perhaps this Red Lotus Demon Venerable is not as terrifying as they thought! With the malice filling the sky sweeping over Niankong Villa once again, almost visibly, the complexion of this Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain slumped.

But the next moment...

"I heard that someone wants to kill my two sons in succession?"

"I wonder if you can stand out and let me take a look, to see who it is that wants to kill my sons???"
