Chapter 583

A moment later, in the great hall of the central army's traveling palace.

Feng Qingyang looked down at the grim-faced, ferocious Heavenly Slaughter Demon Immortal Emperor and Heavenly Swallow Demon Immortal Emperor, who raised their eyebrows in puzzlement.

What's up with these two demons? Did they cultivate themselves stupid in their rebirth? Are they planning to challenge me or what?

Could it be that they still have some heaven-defying trump cards?

The three Junjian Tian waiting behind also sensed that the atmosphere was off; they all focused their full attention, ready to rush forward at the slightest movement from the two demon beasts ahead.

From their recent conversation with the sect master, they already knew the identities of these two demon beasts: the former supreme peak Immortal Emperors who once shook the immortal realm—the Heavenly Slaughter Demon Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Swallow Demon Immortal Emperor!

That identity is quite frightening! Their palms were sweating, but as long as they dare to act against the sect master, it doesn't matter who they are—even the heavenly king himself would not stop us!

"Aren't you the two renowned wills of the phantom realm? Speak up—what business do you have with me?"

After their rebirth, the Heavenly Slaughter and Heavenly Swallow Demon Immortal Emperors have reshaped their physical bodies, no longer being formless phantom wills.

The Heavenly Slaughter's true form is a mutated ancient ferocious beast, somewhat resembling the Dark Emperor, but its skin is not the Dark Emperor's deep black; it is a dark hue tinged with red, and its twin horns are a different color—gilded—making it look more mysterious and noble.

The Heavenly Swallow's true form is an ancient strange beast, the seven-headed bird, with seven heads and fourteen wings, each head huge as a boulder, majestically perched upon its neck.

Its feathers are not uniform; each stands erect, shimmering like burning flames—blazing red, occasionally streaked with black, like hidden shadows within fire, or as if woven from blood and night; every feather glows with a mysterious light, as if recounting ancient legends.

Feng Qingyang finished speaking calmly.

Heavenly Slaughter stepped forward and said, "We two have come to discuss a major matter with you, so the fewer who know, the better."

Having said that, Heavenly Slaughter gave a meaningful glance toward the three Junjian Tian behind.

Heh, interesting.

"Junjian Tian, you three step back first; go and prepare the troops—we'll soon head to the three upper realms of the Tianyu Immortal Realm."

Feng Qingyang gave the order.

I really want to see what trick these two demons are up to.

"We obey," the three Junjian Tian replied in unison, clasping their hands in salute.

It seems these two former demon emperors are not here to cause trouble.

Indeed, with their current cultivation, the sect master could slay them with a single glance—well, not exactly; even at their peak they'd likely not be a match for the sect master, who is invincible!

"Senior, just now there were many people… we wanted to save face."

"Now that everyone has left, we two will kowtow to you; please, senior, don't blame us."

After the three Junjian Tian left, the aura of Heavenly Slaughter and Heavenly Swallow instantly deflated, and they thudded to their knees on the ground.

Feng Qingyang:???

I had already decided whether to crush you with my gaze or my will—what on earth are you doing?

Seeing the figure on the main seat remain silent, Heavenly Slaughter and Heavenly Swallow each felt a jolt in their hearts.

Oh no! Did our performance just now go too far and anger the senior?

You know this senior is a terrifying existence beyond Immortal Emperors; even if we two recovered to our peak cultivation we wouldn't be a match, let alone now!

"Senior, please hear our explanation!"

"We two sincerely wish to join your sect and serve you!" Heavenly Slaughter Demon Immortal Emperor explained hastily.

Heavenly Swallow added: "Yes, senior, everything we have now is thanks to you; if you hadn't brought us into this world, our lingering consciousness would have long dissipated, so we wish to repay you."

The methods of those above Immortal Emperors are simply heaven-defying—for instance, the flow of time in this world they created reaches an unimaginable degree!

In the outside world, two months equal twenty thousand years here—a time-space ratio of over one to a million; that is, one day outside equals over a million days inside, nearly three thousand years! This is absolutely absurd!

And this is probably just the tip of the iceberg of that being's powers.

So why bother with petty pride? If you must kneel, then kneel!

"Then tell me what you two can do; my sect doesn't lack a couple of first-level divine lords."

"Like this: considering your sincere intent to join, I'll give you a chance. My Qingyun Sect's Qingyun Legion has just been formed and still lacks foundation; you two should join the legion to fight for the sect."

Feng Qingyang pondered briefly and then decided to let them join the legion.

This is the best arrangement; when they were in their conscious form, they were recorded by the Eternal Spirit Shaping Vessel, allowing them to freely enter and exit that world, so they can train together with the legion.

Moreover, their past lives were peak Immortal Emperors with great potential; within the Eternal Spirit Shaping Vessel they can accelerate their growth, and given time they will become pillars of the sect.

"Thank you… senior… sect master! Thank you, sect master!"

Heavenly Slaughter and Heavenly Swallow both lit up with joy and hastily clasped their hands in thanks.

Heavenly Swallow's smile looks a bit sinister, with its seven huge heads all laughing at you—you'd say it's frightening…

"Sect master, what should we two do in the legion?"

After Heavenly Slaughter asked eagerly, he then listed their strengths: "Well… we two excel at charging into battle, surprise attacks, assassinating enemy leaders, and withstanding pressure and blows."

He still hopes for a good posting, mainly because he is eager to advance and wishes to earn more military merit to gain the sect master's favor.

"By the way, sect master, we two are also good at guiding the way," Heavenly Slaughter added at the end.

For example, when marching through an immortal forest teeming with demon beasts, our usefulness would be evident—our aura naturally suppresses immortal beasts below the demon emperor level, making us ideal for leading the way.

"Guide the way?"

Just hearing those two words, Feng Qingyang almost couldn't hold back—"Goddamn guide the way," why does that phrase sound so grating?

After suppressing the urge to crush them with his hand, Feng Qingyang said: "If that's the case, then you two shall serve as the legion's vanguard generals; when the time comes, you'll be first in line for the shock troops and surprise attack missions."

Hmm… can still show the way.
