Chapter 461: Wisely Outwitting the Demon King Jiao

~10 min read 1,927 words

Jiaomowang looked at the furnace of pills he had just refined and muttered:

"It has been a long time since I saw Kunpeng; this time I will bring him some of my new pills.

Let him have a taste of my craftsmanship."

Jiaomowang packed six pills, gave instructions to his subordinates, and then swaggered toward Guyue Mansion.

The minor demons responsible for surveillance outside Guyue Mansion saw Jiaomowang swaggering over and immediately ran into the mansion to report:

"Lord Guyue, that Jiaomowang has come."

Upon hearing this, Duan Fengyun waved his hand and said:

"Everyone, act according to the plan.

Kunpeng, I will leave the performance to you in a moment."

Kunpeng Demon Saint nodded and said:

"Yes, my lord!"

Duan Fengyun directly turned invisible and stood to the side, silently watching everything.

Kunpeng Demon Saint sat upright in the seat that should have belonged to Duan Fengyun.

At this moment, Jiaomowang arrived happily in front of Guyue Mansion, and Jiaomowang shouted unceremoniously:

"Go quickly and tell Kunpeng that his old friend has arrived, and tell him to hurry up and come out to welcome me."

"My lord, please wait a moment."

The minor demon trotted off to the mansion to find Kunpeng Demon Saint.

After hearing the minor demon's report, Kunpeng Demon Saint followed the minor demon out.

Upon seeing Jiaomowang, Kunpeng Demon Saint said enthusiastically:

"Little Brother Jiao, long time no see.

It has been fifty years since we last parted.

I didn't contact you, and you didn't come to see your old brother; this makes me very sad."

Jiaomowang said sheepishly:

"Old Brother Kunpeng, it is not that I am busy.

You know I am a person who likes alchemy; once I get into it, I forget the time. I just finished a furnace of pills recently and was just preparing to come see you, old brother.

As a result, I didn't expect you to send me a message.

Old brother, I heard from my minor demons that you had joined a force called Guyue Mansion?

Why did you suddenly call me over?"

Kunpeng Demon Saint pretended to look around cautiously, took Jiaomowang's hand, and said:

"Little Brother Jiao, let's talk inside."

Jiaomowang nodded and followed Kunpeng Demon Saint into Guyue Mansion.

Walking into Guyue Mansion, Kunpeng Demon Saint sat directly on Duan Fengyun's grand throne.

Seeing this, Jiaomowang joked:

"Old Brother Kunpeng, this seat should be the seat of the Master of Guyue Mansion.

What is wrong, old brother? Do you want to replace him and become the new Master of Guyue Mansion?"

Kunpeng asked in return:

"Little Brother Jiao, tell me, is a soldier who does not want to be a general a good soldier?

I, Kunpeng, a generation of Demon Saint, how can I always be under his Guyue?

This time I invited you over because I want you and me to work together to get rid of Guyue, so that Guyue Mansion will be ours.

I wonder, Little Brother Jiao, are you willing to take this gamble with me?"

Jiaomowang had not witnessed Duan Fengyun's methods and did not know much about Duan Fengyun. Hearing his brother say he wanted to take down Guyue and become the master of the mansion himself, Jiaomowang raised both hands in approval.

Jiaomowang said:

"Old Brother Kunpeng, if you want to finish off that Guyue and become the master of this Guyue Mansion yourself, I, as your brother, will definitely support you one hundred percent.

Tell me, how do you want me to help? I will definitely assist with all my might."

Kunpeng Demon Saint said:

"I am no match for that Guyue. I want to ask you, little brother, if you have any colorless and odorless poison that can make that Guyue swallow it without him knowing, so that we can get rid of this Guyue without any effort."

Jiaomowang patted his waist and laughed: "Old Brother Kunpeng, do you still not trust me?

I have everything here, especially medicine.

But where did Guyue go? Why haven't I seen him?"

Kunpeng Demon Saint laughed loudly:

"Little Brother Jiao, just think, if Guyue were here, would I dare to sit in his seat?

He recently had new plans and took other demon kings to look at territory; I am in charge here now.

Little Brother Jiao, what do you think of this Guyue Mansion?"

Jiaomowang nodded and said:

"This place reminds me of what Huaguo Mountain looked like when we swore brotherhood with Sun Wukong hundreds of years ago.

It seems this Guyue must also be a peerless fierce person.

Old Brother Kunpeng, do you have the confidence to deal with such a ruthless person?"

Kunpeng Demon Saint muttered to himself:

"How could it not be?

A person like Guyue, if you become his enemy, you will definitely be eaten until not even your bones are left."

"So I must obediently listen to him now, otherwise I wouldn't even know when I might be killed one day."

Hiding in the shadows, Duan Fengyun laughed aloud:

"Am I that terrifying?"

If Hu Wang and the others heard Duan Fengyun's words, they would definitely answer with certainty:

"Yes, you are very terrifying."

Kunpeng Demon Saint looked toward Jiaomowang and said:

"I just said, are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born with a special status?

How could I, Kunpeng Demon Saint, submit to another? I am determined to take Guyue Mansion."

Jiaomowang said:

"Brother Kunpeng, I support you.

Since that is the case, how do you want me to help you?"

Kunpeng Demon Saint said:

"Guyue has gone out now; when he returns, I will arrange a welcome banquet for him.

At that time, I will introduce you to him, and you will present your poison pill to him, telling him it is a pill for longevity.

Once he is poisoned, this Guyue Mansion will be ours.

When that time comes, I will be the boss, and you can take the second seat; how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Jiaomowang was instantly energized; Jiaomowang was not one who could sit idle, and hearing that Kunpeng Demon Saint wanted to stage such a grand operation, Jiaomowang was also incomparably excited.

"Good, Brother Kunpeng, then it is a deal.

Once the deed is done, we shall be the new masters of this Guyue Mansion."

Kunpeng Demon Saint smiled and said:

"Haha, good, then it is settled.

Brother Jiao, the journey must have been exhausting.

I have had someone prepare some food; let us eat something and have a drink.

That Guyue has a few bottles of fine wine; I will take one out for us to taste, as if we two are starting our victory banquet early."

Jiaomowang was also a lover of wine, and upon hearing about fine wine, he immediately laughed:

"Whatever Brother arranges is fine."

Soon, a few minor demons brought up the food.

Kunpeng Demon Saint brought out the wine he had already prepared for Jiaomowang, and the two began to drink while eating.

The excited Jiaomowang did not notice at all that a little 'seasoning' had been added to his wine.

This bit of seasoning was, of course, added to Jiaomowang by Duan Fengyun himself.

Duan Fengyun transformed into a drop of water and went directly into Jiaomowang's stomach.

Looking at Jiaomowang's devious schemes, Duan Fengyun shook his head and said:

"Looking at these devious schemes, this Jiaomowang is not a good thing at all.

Today, watch how I, this Venerable One, deal with you properly; you actually dared to plot against my Guyue Mansion.

I will make you regret coming into this world."

Having said that, Duan Fengyun directly manifested a Xiaodao and began to tidy up Jiaomowang's intestines. Originally, Jiaomowang felt nothing, but as Duan Fengyun used more and more force, Jiaomowang finally felt discomfort in his stomach.

Jiaomowang rubbed his stomach and said:

"Brother Kunpeng, why do I feel such pain in my stomach, as if someone is stabbing my stomach with a knife?

Do you have this feeling?"

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng Demon Saint guessed that it must be Duan Fengyun who had made a move, but since Duan Fengyun had not yet spoken, he certainly did not dare to say anything.

Kunpeng Demon Saint retorted:

"No, Brother Jiao.

Did you eat something bad before you came?"

Just as Jiaomowang was about to answer, his stomach hurt even more; he felt as if his stomach was about to be pierced through.

Jiaomowang clutched his stomach, rolling on the ground in agony, and said:

"Brother Kunpeng, save me quickly!"

"No one can save you!"

Duan Fengyun's voice appeared in Jiaomowang's mind.

Hearing Duan Fengyun's voice, Jiaomowang looked around and asked suspiciously:

"Who is speaking? Why are you being so sneaky?

Come out quickly!"

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Jiaomowang, aren't you trying to conspire with Kunpeng Demon Saint to seize my Guyue Mansion?

Now you are asking who I am instead; then tell me, who am I?"

Upon hearing this, Jiaomowang's expression changed drastically:

"You are Guyue!"

Jiaomowang looked at the indifferent Kunpeng Demon Saint to the side; he could not fail to understand the situation now.

Jiaomowang gritted his teeth and said:

"Kunpeng Demon Saint, you backstabbed me!"

"We have a friendship spanning thousands of years, yet you are now actually colluding with Guyue to scheme against me?"

"Kunpeng Demon Saint, do you have any brotherly sentiment left at all?"

Kunpeng Demon Saint replied:

"Brother Jiao, as the saying goes, when disaster strikes, everyone flies their own way."

"I am actually helping you now; Lord Guyue possesses great talent and bold strategy. If you pledge your allegiance to him, I guarantee you will surely make a name for yourself in the Demon Realm one day."

Jiaomowang said disdainfully:

"Pah, with these methods of his, he wants me to submit? I, Jiaomowang, will never submit to him."

Kunpeng Demon Saint did not speak; he silently watched how Jiaomowang would look after joining Guyue Mansion later.

He knew Duan Fengyun's methods; given Jiaomowang's willpower, he would certainly submit in a moment.

Duan Fengyun did not make a sound; he followed the same pattern and planted the Beast Taming Method inside Jiaomowang's body, turning Jiaomowang into his own beast pet.

"Jiaomowang, open your mouth."

Jiaomowang originally wanted to ignore Duan Fengyun, but he discovered that his own hands and feet simply would not listen to him, and his mouth opened wide on its own.

Duan Fengyun flew up and jumped out from Jiaomowang's mouth.

After coming out, Duan Fengyun looked at Jiaomowang and shouted:

"Jiaomowang, why have you not knelt down yet?"

Upon hearing this, Jiaomowang's legs trembled, and he actually knelt straight down.

Seeing this, Jiaomowang said in disbelief:

"How could this be? Guyue, what have you done to me?"

Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Nothing much, I just added a little something to you."

"From now on, you must obediently listen to me, otherwise I will make you wish you were dead."

Seeing this, Kunpeng Demon Saint knew that Jiaomowang must have also fallen for Duan Fengyun's trick. To prevent his brother from suffering, Kunpeng Demon Saint stepped out to play the peacemaker:

"Brother Jiao, Lord Guyue is a good big brother; if you follow him, you will definitely fare better than you do now."

"Hurry up and agree to it."

"If you wait until you have suffered a bit before acknowledging him as your big brother, that would not be worth it."
