Chapter 282: Demon Saint Bai Ze
When the first birthday banquet dispersed, Niu Mowang and the others were already drunk; the moon was in the middle of the sky, and Niu Mowang and the demon kings who came to congratulate were still drinking.
Su Chen was not familiar with the demon race in Xi Niuhe Zhou and did not participate in it; just as he was about to return to the guest courtyard to rest, a sound transmission fell into his ears.
"Advisor Su, Friend Jiutou is presumptuous, wanting to have a separate chat with you."
Su Chen's footsteps paused, and he turned his head to look at the corner of the banquet hall.
Friend Jiutou Insect stood by the corridor pillar, his moon-white long robe fluttering slightly in the night wind, bowing slightly to Su Chen, his posture respectful.
Su Chen thought about it; he was confident in his current cultivation base and was not afraid of any conspiracy from Friend Jiutou Insect, so he nodded.
He also wanted to know what Friend Jiutou Insect wanted to say.
The two left the Banana Cave one after the other, walking east along the mountain path of Mount Cuiyun.
The moonlight was good, the spiritual energy in the mountains was misty, and fireflies occasionally flew between the grass and trees, dragging faint light tails.
After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, Friend Jiutou Insect stopped by a stream.
The gurgling sound of the stream sounded very relaxing.
"Advisor Su." Friend Jiutou Insect set up a sound-insulation restriction around the two, then turned to look at Su Chen and spoke.
His eyes at this time were completely different from the banquet; there was no deliberate respect and concealment.
"The matter at the banquet was Friend Jiutou's abruptness."
"If you called me here just to apologize, forget it; it's better to say something useful." Su Chen sat on a large rock by the stream, picking a blade of grass and holding it in his mouth at will.
Friend Jiutou Insect was silent for a breath and laughed: "Advisor Su is quick-spoken, then I won't be twisted and pinched either. Advisor Su is right; I am indeed a descendant of the ancient feather race."
He raised his hand, a strand of demon power surged from his sleeve, turning into a phantom in his palm.
In the phantom, a giant bird with nine heads spread its wings and roared angrily, covering the sky and the sun, its momentum terrifying.
"Ancient Demon Saint Gui Che is my ancestor."
Su Chen chewed the blade of grass in his mouth without any surprised expression.
Friend Jiutou Insect saw this and was not surprised.
The probe at the banquet had already let him understand that Su Chen must have a certain understanding of him.
So Friend Jiutou Insect simply put away his disguise, and his aura climbed steeply.
His Heavenly Immortal realm cultivation base surged rapidly, and his true cultivation base of the early stage of Tai Yi Jin Xian was released without reservation.
Su Chen remained calm and composed.
Friend Jiutou Insect saw this and continued: "I hid in Bi Bo Tan, waiting for an opportunity. This matter has nothing to do with the Demon Alliance, and it will not be unfavorable to Great King Niu and the several Great Sages. Telling Advisor Su my true form today is in the hope that the Advisor can keep this secret for Friend Jiutou."
He finished speaking and bowed his head slightly.
A Tai Yi Jin Xian bowing his head to another Tai Yi Jin Xian was enough to show Friend Jiutou Insect's fear of Su Chen.
Su Chen spat out the blade of grass in his mouth, looked at Friend Jiutou Insect, and asked: "I am curious, is that ancestor of yours, Demon Saint Gui Che, still alive?"
Friend Jiutou Insect was stunned upon hearing this; he thought Su Chen would pursue his specific purpose in Bi Bo Tan, but he didn't expect Su Chen to ask this question.
"Ancestor, has already fallen in the Lich War." Friend Jiutou Insect answered quickly.
Su Chen nodded and continued to ask: "If I'm not wrong, the opportunity you are waiting for has to do with the Fomen, right?"
This sentence came out, and Friend Jiutou Insect's pupils contracted violently.
Friend Jiutou Insect stared at Su Chen, his lips moving, his breathing becoming rapid.
He could accept Su Chen seeing through his cultivation base; after all, the two Dao laws Su Chen had displayed were enough to prove Su Chen's extraordinary nature.
He could also accept Su Chen recognizing his bloodline; after all, the characteristics of the ancient feather race Gui Che lineage were not untraceable to true great powers.
But how could Su Chen know that the opportunity he was waiting for had to do with the Fomen?
This matter was something the elder behind him had spent thousands of years of painstaking effort, calculating with the power of deduction that could reach the heavens, to calculate the heavenly secret.
Su Chen, a Tai Yi Jin Xian, why would he know such a major event?
"You..." Friend Jiutou Insect's voice was dry, "How would you know these things?"
Su Chen didn't answer; he stood up, looked at Friend Jiutou Insect's reaction, and confirmed that Friend Jiutou Insect had indeed come for the Journey to the West Great Tribulation.
In the original Journey to the West, Friend Jiutou Insect instigated Wan Sheng Dragon King to steal the Buddha treasure sarira from the Golden Light Temple in Jisaiguo, which was a tribulation on the road to obtaining the scriptures.
Now Friend Jiutou Insect had laid out his layout in advance, hiding in Bi Bo Tan, waiting for this opportunity.
And a demon descendant at the Tai Yi Jin Xian level who could lay out a layout on the Fomen's scripture-obtaining route and attempt to fish for a share of merit in the Journey to the West Great Tribulation must have someone pointing the way behind him.
Most of the ten great demon saints of the ancient demon court fell in the Lich War.
And Bai Ze, the head of the ten great demon saints, was suspected to be still alive.
Demon Saint Bai Ze knew astronomy above, geography below, understood the feelings of all things, and was the person most skilled in deducing heavenly secrets in the entire demon race.
After the Lich War, Bai Ze disappeared, neither seen alive nor dead.
The appearance of Friend Jiutou Insect today confirmed those guesses.
Bai Ze should be alive; he brought a group of descendants of the ancient demon court into seclusion.
"You don't have to be so nervous." Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his tone flat, "If I wanted to do you harm, I would have done it at the banquet; why wait until now."
Friend Jiutou Insect took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"What exactly is Advisor Su's purpose? Might as well speak directly."
He knew that Su Chen not exposing his identity and being willing to talk to him must have a purpose.
Su Chen looked at him and smiled slightly.
"I want to see someone."
"This person, I think you should be very familiar with. That is the head of the ten great demon saints of the ancient demon court, Bai Ze."
When Su Chen said this name, his voice was not loud, but for Friend Jiutou Insect, it was no less than a thunderclap ringing in his ears.
He opened his mouth, and not a single word could come out.
Demon Saint Bai Ze was the biggest secret of their hidden demon race.
The existence of that elder was the foundation for their ancient remnants to continue to this day.
And the Su Chen in front of him actually knew that Elder Bai Ze was still alive; this was not good news.
"Advisor Su." Friend Jiutou Insect's voice was tight, "I cannot agree. The matter of Elder Bai Ze is not something I can decide."
"I didn't ask you to decide." Su Chen waved his hand, "I asked you to introduce me. Whether to see me or not, Elder Bai Ze will decide for himself."
Friend Jiutou Insect was silent, and the sound of the stream was exceptionally clear in the night.
For a long time, Friend Jiutou Insect opened his mouth: "I can pass the message for you. But whether Elder Bai Ze is willing to see you, I cannot guarantee."
"Enough." Su Chen nodded.
He took out a jade slip from his storage space, left a piece of information with his spiritual sense, and handed it to Friend Jiutou Insect.
"Give this to Elder Bai Ze. After reading it, I think he will see me."
Friend Jiutou Insect took the jade slip and couldn't help but ask: "What is written inside?"
Su Chen turned and walked toward the mountain path, leaving behind one sentence.
"A matter that will interest Elder Bai Ze; if Elder Bai Ze is willing to see me, you will come to Flower Fruit Mountain to find me."
Friend Jiutou Insect held the jade slip, stood by the stream, and watched Su Chen's back disappear into the moonlight.
The night wind blew, he looked down at the jade slip in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He came to find Su Chen tonight originally to ask him not to reveal his identity.
As a result, Su Chen knew more and more.
`What is the background of this person? `
Friend Jiutou Insect was very curious, actually knowing so much about himself.
Friend Jiutou Insect put away the jade slip, concealed his cultivation base again, and returned to the Banana Cave.
And Su Chen returned to the guest courtyard, pushed open the door, sat on the stone stool, and thought about the matter of Bai Ze.
Bai Ze was the last spark of the ancient demon court; if this person could be pulled into the game, the pattern of the Demon Alliance would be completely different.
In the future, perhaps there could be one more possibility. ===== CHAPTER 283 =====
