Chapter 471: The Angry
Sun Wukong looked at Duan Fengyun and asked:
"Guyue kid, what are your plans now?
I can tell that the kid Chenxiang will definitely cause a scene of wreaking havoc in Heaven in the future.
I reckon it won't be any smaller than the trouble I caused eight hundred years ago. Won't you step in to help him then?"
Duan Fengyun laughed:
"Chenxiang and I are as close as brothers; of course I will help him."
Upon hearing the two's conversation, Yuding Zhenren patted his head and said:
"Why is it that now your disciple is going to wreak havoc in Heaven again?
Must everyone in my Yuding Lineage go and wreak havoc in Heaven once?"
Duan Fengyun laughed:
"That's for sure. This should count as the graduation exam for your Yuding Lineage.
To pass the exam, one must wreak havoc in Heaven once."
Duan Fengyun looked at Yuding and Sun Wukong; he hadn't been to Guyue Mansion for a long time, and while he still had time, he wanted to go back and take a look first.
So Duan Fengyun spoke up:
"Friend Yuding, this old Daoist, I have some matters to attend to, so I will head back first.
You two master and disciple haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, so I imagine you must have plenty to talk about.
You two chat slowly, I'll be off.
Friend Yuding, I came empty-handed and didn't bring you any gifts.
Just keep these few jars of wine for now; I'll bring more to visit you in a while."
After leaving behind a few jars of wine, Duan Fengyun departed directly.
Watching Duan Fengyun's departing back, Sun Wukong muttered:
"This Guyue is too mysterious. Master, do you think this person is good or bad?
You taught him the Tiangang Thirty-six Transformations and the Pitian Divine Palm; once he enters the Demonic Path in the future, it will be a great disaster for the Three Realms."

After all, Sun Wukong had already cultivated to become a Buddha, so he was still very concerned about the crises of the Three Realms.
Yuding Zhenren laughed:
"You must trust your master's eye for people. Although this guy Guyue looks unreliable,
he is definitely not a bad person. I believe he will not do anything to bring disaster to the Three Realms."
After hearing Yuding Zhenren's words, Sun Wukong grumbled in his heart:
"Then what about Yang Jian?
In your heart, Yang Jian is your pride!
But look at the things Yang Jian has done; are those not things that bring disaster to the Three Realms?"
While Sun Wukong was silently grumbling about Yang Jian, Yuding Zhenren was also wondering whether or not to tell Sun Wukong about Yang Jian's affairs.
After some thought, Yuding Zhenren finally gave up on this idea.
After all, Yang Jian's identity was of great consequence; if Sun Wukong found out, it would be a disaster if it affected Yang Jian's plans.
Therefore, Yuding Zhenren chose to continue keeping secrets for Yang Jian.
The master and disciple exchanged pleasantries, while Duan Fengyun, having left Yuding Zhenren's Cave Abode, had now arrived at Gou Wang's territory.
Having become a newly promoted Demon Saint of the Monster Race, Gou Wang was full of motivation in his work, and under his leadership, Hu Wang, Qingshe Wang, and Xiang Wang were also uncharacteristically diligent.
"Reporting to Gou Wang, Lord Guyue has arrived."
Hearing that Duan Fengyun had returned, Gou Wang immediately led Hu Wang, Qingshe Wang, and Xiang Wang out to meet him.
Ever since Duan Fengyun had assigned them their duties a year ago, Duan Fengyun had disappeared.
The group was accustomed to Duan Fengyun's elusive nature, but they were still very excited to hear that he had returned.
"Lord Guyue, you have finally returned!"
Gou Wang said enthusiastically, along with the other three Demon Kings.
Duan Fengyun looked at the well-managed minor demons and nodded with satisfaction:
"Gou Wang, well done. You have not let down this master's expectations of you.
It is clear that you have managed these Demon Soldiers very diligently this past year.
I wonder how Kunpeng Demon Saint and Jiaomowang are doing?
You four tidy up and come with me to pay a visit to Jiaomowang and Kunpeng Demon Saint."
"Yes, Lord."
Gou Wang and the others shouted in unison.
Duan Fengyun led the four of them to Kunpeng Demon Saint's territory first; seeing that it was also well-managed, Duan Fengyun nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, Kunpeng Demon Saint, having already received the report from the minor demons, had already rushed out.
Because Duan Fengyun did not hide his strength, Kunpeng Demon Saint looked at Duan Fengyun in shock.
He knew Duan Fengyun's previous strength—it was the same as his, at the early stage of the Shenren Realm—but after only a year of not seeing him, Duan Fengyun had actually reached the peak of the Shenren Realm, and by the looks of it, he would soon reach perfection.
Kunpeng Demon Saint couldn't help but sigh; indeed, comparing oneself to others only leads to frustration.
However, the higher Duan Fengyun's strength was, the happier Kunpeng Demon Saint was.
He was now a subordinate of Duan Fengyun; the stronger Duan Fengyun's strength was, the higher their Guyue Mansion's status would naturally rise within the Monster Race.
Therefore, the strength of the group was important, but in the end, it still depended on the strength of the Demon King.
Only with higher strength could Duan Fengyun stand firmly within the Monster Race.
Kunpeng Demon Saint bowed to Duan Fengyun and said:
"Congratulations, Lord Guyue, congratulations, Lord Guyue.
Congratulations to you, my Lord, for your strength reaching a new, higher level."
Duan Fengyun waved his hand and laughed:
"It is nothing. If our Guyue Mansion wants to occupy a certain status within the Monster Race, then I must strive to improve my strength."
"However, you must believe that after I, Guyue, become stronger, I will also lead you all to become stronger together."
"I am not the type of person to forget the brothers who followed me to conquer the world."
After speaking, Duan Fengyun took the Immortal Pill Bottle he had obtained from Taishang Laojun's Tushita Palace out of the Void.
Looking at the Immortal Pill Bottle in Duan Fengyun's hand, Kunpeng Demon Saint pointed at the pill bottle in Duan Fengyun's hand with a look of great shock and said:
"Master, this pill bottle of yours looks familiar to me."
"Could this be Taishang Laojun's Immortal Pill Bottle?"
Back when Kunpeng Demon Saint had sworn brotherhood with Sun Wukong, he had once seen this pill bottle on Duan Fengyun, which was why he felt a sense of familiarity.
Duan Fengyun nodded and said:
"Correct, what I hold is indeed Taishang Laojun's Immortal Pill Bottle."
"Kunpeng, are you very curious about how my magic power increased so quickly?"
"What I relied on is precisely this Immortal Pill in my hand."
Kunpeng Demon Saint said with an excited face:
"It really is you, Master, to actually be able to get this Immortal Pill from Taishang Laojun."
"Among the people I know, besides Sun Wukong who caused havoc in Heaven several hundred years ago, no one else could pull off such a feat."
"I am truly impressed by your ability, Master; you are truly possessed of great Divine Ability."
Kunpeng Demon Saint showered Duan Fengyun with flattery, while Duan Fengyun wore an expression of enjoyment.
After all, flattery is the kind of thing that, as long as it is done well, makes people feel very comfortable.
As for Gou Wang and the others, they only had one thought in their minds right now.
"Pah, I couldn't tell, this guy Kunpeng is actually such a sycophant."
Duan Fengyun looked at the few of them; since he had taken out the Immortal Pill Bottle, he would naturally share with them.
Originally, he had kept this bottle of Immortal Pills precisely for them. Duan Fengyun opened the Immortal Pill Bottle, poured out five Immortal Pills, and then gave them one by one to Kunpeng Demon Saint and the other four, saying:
"This is a reward for your work over this past year. As long as you do well, I will absolutely not treat you unfairly."
Kunpeng Demon Saint and the other four looked at the Immortal Pills in their hands and knelt on the ground one after another, saying:
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
Kunpeng Demon Saint and the others all knew the extraordinary nature of the Immortal Pills in their hands.
Taishang Laojun is different from Jiaomowang; if Taishang Laojun's Alchemy were to be called second in the Three Realms, absolutely no one would dare call themselves first, nor would anyone dare call themselves third.
In the eyes of Kunpeng Demon Saint and the others, Taishang Laojun's Immortal Pills were just an unreachable dream for them, yet today they actually possessed such a divine object.
To avoid long delays leading to trouble, Kunpeng Demon Saint and the other four threw the Immortal Pills into their mouths one after another.
After all, these Immortal Pills of Taishang Laojun are coveted by others; only by swallowing them and slowly Refining them is the hard truth.
Seeing the appearance of the few, Duan Fengyun laughed heartily:
"Do not be afraid, with me here, no one dares to snatch them from you."
"Alright, let us go see Jiaomowang."
"Let us see what Jiaomowang has been doing during this past year!"
Duan Fengyun brought the five of them to Jiaomowang's territory.
After arriving at Jiaomowang's territory, the look on Duan Fengyun's face changed instantly.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
After seeing the small monsters managed in an orderly fashion by Gou Wang and Kunpeng Demon Saint, and then seeing the small monsters here in a chaotic mess, Duan Fengyun's anger flared up.
He had entrusted these small monsters to Jiaomowang's management with high expectations, and yet Jiaomowang had brought him such a team.
Seeing a small monster about to go report to Jiaomowang that Duan Fengyun and the others had arrived, Duan Fengyun stopped the small monster.
Today, he wanted to see what this Jiaomowang was doing day after day.
And Kunpeng Demon Saint, seeing this scene, also sighed.
It seems that after so many years, Jiaomowang's bad habits still haven't changed.
Duan Fengyun brought Kunpeng Demon Saint into Jiaomowang's Cave Abode, and Jiaomowang was currently embracing two female monsters.
Jiaomowang, who was in the middle of his excitement, had not noticed the arrival of Duan Fengyun and the others at all.
Watching Jiaomowang having such a good time, Duan Fengyun teased:
"Jiaomowang, you are having a good time, aren't you?"
"These two female monsters look quite nice."
"It seems your life is much better than ours."
Hearing Duan Fengyun's voice, Jiaomowang's face changed drastically; he immediately pushed the female monsters in his arms aside and then ran to Duan Fengyun's front to kneel:
"Master, why have you come?"
"Look, you came without even notifying me, so I could have prepared to welcome you, Master."
Duan Fengyun sneered:
"I should have told you in advance so you could be prepared, right?"
"Jiaomowang, I let you manage things for me, and you managed them into this state?"
Duan Fengyun knew that the nature of a snake is inherently lecherous; it was not that he did not allow Jiaomowang to engage in such things.
However, play must have its limits; Jiaomowang completely cast Duan Fengyun's words to the back of his mind, delaying the entire grand development plan of Guyue Mansion.
Duan Fengyun currently wanted to cripple Jiaomowang, and after Kunpeng Demon Saint perceived Duan Fengyun's murderous intent, he immediately begged Duan Fengyun for mercy:
"Master, I beg you to give Jiaomowang one more chance.
I believe that he will change from now on.
Please give him one more chance."
After all, Kunpeng Demon Saint and Jiaomowang had a friendship spanning several hundred years, so Kunpeng Demon Saint could not sit by and watch Jiaomowang be executed by Duan Fengyun.
