Chapter 667: The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant

"Who!!?"

The moment he heard the voice, Shuda, who had seemingly still been trading blows with his brothers, suddenly turned his head and glared in the direction the sound came from. Seeing no one, he roared with a ferocious expression:

"You guy playing god and acting like a ghost!"

"Get out here right now!!!"

Following their eldest brother's intimidation, the remaining two brothers reacted quickly; Shuer and Shu San brandished their weapons, guarding Shuda on the left and right.

"Get out here!"

"Get out!"

The three brothers, who looked as if they were cast from the same mold, simultaneously glared at a corner of the sky above the forest, where the rain outlined an unusual space.

Although it was the dead of night and raining, the three rat demon brothers had not abandoned their perception of the outside world. They had been cautiously observing their surroundings; their seemingly idle chatter was actually a facade, merely a ploy to lure Dong Yushu into revealing a flaw.

They had tracked her all the way here, and although the trail had gone cold and they could no longer find Dong Yushu's scent, they had discovered the unusual nature of this place by sheer coincidence.

The three brothers were rat demons by birth and were most skilled at tunneling and earth-shifting, yet the ground of this seemingly ordinary forest was as hard as metal, making it impossible for them to tunnel through.

Something is wrong!

There must be something wrong here!

The three brothers believed Dong Yushu had used a special Secret Technique to hide here, but due to instinctive caution, they had not rashly broken in, attempting instead to lure the snake out of its hole.

But now, an uninvited guest had intruded.

Who is it!!?

"Noisy."

Just under the glare of the three Shu brothers, the space in mid-air trembled slightly, shedding its external disguise to reveal a tall figure.

Whoosh.

"Hmph, do you think I need your nonsense? This Divine Servant has no intention of hiding or skulking about."

The man wore a Nu Opera Robe and a fierce-looking Angry-Eyed Nu Mask. The face outlined on the mask was bizarre, possessing a full nine eyes; apart from the original two, the other seven eyeballs were darting around, scanning the area as if they were alive.

Most peculiar of all was the pair of brilliantly colored Crimson Wings extending from his back. He did not flap them, but simply stood in the sky with his arms crossed, arrogantly looking down at the three Shu brothers at his feet.

"Speak, what evil deeds are you doing here?"

What the hell is this thing!?

Looking at this getup, Shuda's pupils constricted, feeling that the opponent might not be easy to deal with.

Divine Servant?

... A spokesperson for the Immortal God?

Before that "Divine Servant" had spoken, the area he occupied had been completely empty. In the perception of Shuda and his brothers, the opponent had appeared out of thin air, likely having teleported to this location.

Is it a coincidence? Or does he know something?

Could it be that that arrogant woman really escaped, managed to pass on the news, and brought a Divine Servant here?

Tsk!

Damn it!

Shuda narrowed his eyes, several thoughts flashing through his mind, but he decided not to expose himself yet. His right hand moved slightly, signaling his two brothers not to speak, letting him handle the conversation.

Shuda did not intend to strike first; he would pretend to know nothing, see why the other party had come, and probe his bottom line before doing anything else.

If this Divine Servant was truly just passing by, then it was better to avoid trouble and let him leave.

But if he had truly come for the three of them, then... Heh, then they would take him down!

Even if he is a Divine Servant, there is nothing to fear!

This is the Southern Border; even an Immortal God would not dare to act recklessly, and at most, they could only send a Divine Servant of the No-Form Realm. A Divine Servant of the Ask Dao Realm would be hunted down by the Yuwen Family immediately.

Having received a response from his two brothers, Shuda took a secret breath and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Whose messenger are you?"

Shuda's tone was much calmer and sounded somewhat respectful, which made the Divine Servant very satisfied while simultaneously making him look down on the three of them even more, seeing them as nothing but three cowardly wretches.

"Heh, since you have asked with such sincerity, this Divine Servant will show mercy and tell you!"

The winged, masked Divine Servant cupped his hands toward the void in the upper right, bowing respectfully: "My master is the Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord, ordained by the Heavenly Court! I am the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant under the Divine Lord's seat!"

"It is actually the Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord!!!" Shuda exclaimed, stepping back twice as if shocked.

Seeing this, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant gave a smug smile, putting one hand behind his back, appearing even more arrogant: "Haha! I didn't expect a foolish fellow like you to have some knowledge; to have actually heard the name of the Divine Lord is not bad at all."

While Shuda appeared shocked, he was already cursing up a storm in his heart.

Knowledge?

Damn it, I don't know any Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord at all!

This Divine Lord, that Dao Lord, and that one called Immortal Lord—who could remember them all!

Damn it, I flattered you a bit, and you're actually climbing up my nose!

Shuda was fuming inside, but he still did not explode, because he had already gauged the opponent's strength—at least at the Wuxiang Mid-stage. If a conflict broke out, the three brothers might not be able to successfully keep him here.

Endure for a moment, and the wind and waves will calm!

Take a step back, and the sea and sky will open up!

Get this guy to leave first.

Thus, Shuda led his two brothers in bowing to the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant, lowering their heads and saying respectfully: "I wonder what business brings you here, Divine Servant? Is there anything you need our three brothers to help with?"

To avoid trouble, the three brothers had lowered their posture very, very low, bordering on groveling.

However, they never expected that their loss of face and submissiveness would not satisfy the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant.

On the contrary, the brothers' actions had enraged him!

"Who told you to stand!!?" the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant roared in anger, his wings shaking behind him, and he said hatefully: "Since you understand my noble status and know I am the Divine Lord's messenger, how dare you stand? Why don't you kneel down immediately!!?"

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant drew a Long Whip and lashed it out with force, producing a cracking sound.

Crack!

Kneel?

This guy wants us to kneel for him?

"You motherf..." Shuer had a fiery temper and couldn't help but start to curse out loud, but he was grabbed by Shuda, who turned his head sharply: "Big Brother!!? Why are you stopping me!"

At this moment, Shuda still held onto a glimmer of hope; he stopped his enraged brother and pressed him down to the ground.

Then, with a face full of grief and indignation, Shuda glared at the Divine Servant and said in a hoarse voice: "Why must you force us brothers, My Lord!?"

"We are all cultivators; although you possess great strength, what reason is there for us to kneel and bow?"

"What's more, you and I are both of the Demon Race; is there not even a shred of kinship between us!?"

Shuda had thought his words might move the other party, but he did not expect it to make the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant sneer: "Pfft! Hahaha! How truly laughable!"

"You say that I am also a demon?"

Spreading the Crimson Wings behind his back, the eyes on the mask of the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant shone simultaneously, and he laughed loudly:

"No, no, no! I am not that kind of lowly creature!"
