Chapter 480: Chapter 4 Encounter with Old Demon Fang _1

"This is related to the tremendous opportunity I mentioned."

At this point, Hua Tiandu’s eyes suddenly became devout and fervent as he said, "Because the great Lord of Hongmeng has descended to experience the mortal world, and He is now in our realm."

BOOM.

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck in Smoke and Water Sky’s mind.The great Lord of Hongmeng was actually in their world!No wonder Divine Envoys from other worlds had come.They were here to pay homage to the great Lord of Hongmeng!

At this moment, Smoke and Water Sky vaguely guessed what opportunity Hua Tiandu was talking about.To serve the Lord of Hongmeng!Even if one were merely a maid serving tea and water, it would still be a supreme opportunity.If one could be valued by the great Lord of Hongmeng, they could truly soar to the heavens and transform into a phoenix!

"You mean to let me serve..."

"Exactly!"

Hua Tiandu confirmed Smoke and Water Sky’s guess, continuing, "Rest assured, even if you do not gain favor in the eyes of My Lord, when the time comes for the sacrifice, I will offer you up as well."

"Under the might of My Lord, you will transform in an instant, at least becoming an entity of the Immortal’s Secret Realm."

Hua Tiandu then detailed the matters of the sacrifice to Smoke and Water Sky.

"Good!"

Smoke and Water Sky agreed without hesitation. Her engagement to Hua Tiandu had been borne of mutual benefit; they had met only a few times. Now, such a tremendous opportunity lay before her. She naturally wanted to seize it.

Immediately thereafter, Hua Tiandu shared some matters regarding the Lord of Hongmeng with Smoke and Water Sky, to further her understanding and enable her to better serve the great Lord of Hongmeng.If Smoke and Water Sky could gain the favor of the Lord of Hongmeng, then he, Hua Tiandu, would also have connections in high places in the future.This was just like in the ancient mortal dynasties, where people sought to send beautiful women into the palace to become concubines. Once favored by the Emperor, they were truly set.

Hongmeng is not the Emperor. But He is billions of times more esteemed than any Emperor.

Therefore, upon receiving the news, the former Feather Transformation Sect Master, Feng Baiyu, hurried to Hua Tiandu, anxious and hopeful as he asked, "Sect Hierarch, you know I have a daughter, Feng Yaoguang, who is the daughter of myself and the former Sacred Girl of the Infinite Star Palace, Xing Xiaohuang. Is it possible to let her also serve the great Lord of Hongmeng?"

"Feng Yaoguang?"A thought stirred in Hua Tiandu’s mind.Feng Yaoguang was the reincarnation of the spirit of the Imperial Mirror, who would eventually become the wife of the protagonist, Fang Han. She was a woman with a great destiny.

"Sister Yaoguang is talented and ravishingly beautiful; she can serve My Lord."

Hua Tiandu agreed at once. "But I have heard that Sister Yaoguang does not have a good relationship with you..."

"Sect Hierarch, rest assured, I will resolve it properly!" Feng Baiyu declared.

"Mm."

Hua Tiandu nodded. The rift between Feng Yaoguang and Feng Baiyu was only due to her mother being suppressed while Feng Baiyu remained indifferent, causing her to be upset. Their conflict was not too grievous; they were still father and daughter, and reconciling their differences should not be difficult.

"Thank you, Sect Hierarch."

Feng Baiyu was overjoyed and then took his leave from Hua Tiandu to find Feng Yaoguang.

Feng Yaoguang was not at the Feather Gate Sect; instead, she had run away from home and was secretly building her own power on the Chaos Continent, establishing the small Yao Guang Sect. Feng Baiyu did not delay, rushing urgently towards the Chaos Continent to bring Feng Yaoguang back.

Hongmeng was unaware of Hua Tiandu’s arrangements; He was currently dealing strictly with the Demon Queen.

Thus, for the second time since she had grown up, the Demon Queen wept, her tears pouring down freely.

The first time was when the Demon Queen, Liang Bing, joined the chat group. Not knowing Hongmeng’s greatness, she provoked Him, which led to Hongmeng making her cry.

Today was the second time.

「Time flowed on.」

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Within the Dragon Harness Sleeping Palace, Hongmeng looked at the Demon Queen, Liang Bing, who lay limp and had fallen into a deep sleep. Without disturbing her, He left.

"Although her strength is a bit weak, she’s not bad,"Hongmeng silently nodded to Himself."Having accepted the immense Divine Power I infused into her, her strength is sure to advance further."He took a step and appeared upon the Dragon Harness Throne.

"We greet My Lord."

Bibi Dong and the others, seeing Hongmeng, joyously bowed in salute.

"No need for such formalities."

Hongmeng said with a slight smile, feeling refreshed and buoyant after chastising the exceedingly evil Demon Queen, Liang Bing.

"My Lord, Hua Tiandu is waiting outside seeking an audience."

Bibi Dong, with her exquisite and flawless features, looked at Hongmeng, her rose-like lips parted lightly as she reported softly.

"Let him come in," Hongmeng instructed.

"Yes, My Lord."

Bibi Dong rose and walked outside.

Soon, Hua Tiandu, followed by Smoke and Water Sky, walked in after Bibi Dong.

The two knelt and proclaimed, "’We, Hua Tiandu and Smoke and Water Sky, pay homage to the Lord of Hongmeng! May My Lord have eternal life and the Path everlasting!’"

"Rise!" Hongmeng sat on the throne, looking at the two of them.

"Thank My Lord." The two stood up.

"What brings you here?" Hongmeng asked.

"Reporting to My Lord, your humble subordinate was worried no one was attending to My Lord, and also that a guide was needed. Smoke and Water Sky admires My Lord’s reputation and hopes for My Lord’s mercy, to allow her to serve by Your side. She can also fulfill her duty as host, introducing the local customs and traditions of this realm to My Lord," Hua Tiandu spoke with a steady voice, but his heart was in turmoil. Anxious. Uneasy. Fearful. Unsure whether Hongmeng would be pleased.

While Hua Tiandu spoke, Smoke and Water Sky lifted her head, sneakily observing Hongmeng. It was her first time seeing Hongmeng’s true face: a flawless visage, with three-dimensional features, sharp and distinct, like a perfect sculpture. Looking at Hongmeng’s handsome, perfect face, exuding indescribable majesty and grandeur, Smoke and Water Sky couldn’t help but catch her breath, her eyes showing a fascinated gleam.

Suddenly, Hongmeng’s gaze turned toward her. A pair of pitch-black eyes as bright as the starry sky, deep and untainted, with a seemingly gentle surface that held a hint of indifference in their depths. It was like the gaze of ’Heaven’ upon all living beings, treating everything under the sky with fairness and justice, yet also cold and ruthless, never swayed by any creature. In those abyssal eyes, a streak of Divine Power would occasionally flash, emitting an astonishing aura that was both divine and demonic.

Majestic. Sacred. Perfect. Noble.

Her heart fluttered, and she lowered her head involuntarily, feeling unworthy.

"’Granted.’"

Just as she felt anxious, Hongmeng’s voice rang in her ears like a spring breeze after rain, scattering all her unease, filling her with elation and unspoken joy.

"Your subordinate shall take his leave!"

Hua Tiandu’s anxious heart finally settled, his back already drenched with cold sweat. He respectfully withdrew.

Upon leaving the Dragon Harness, he finally straightened his back, a radiant smile appearing on his face.

"’Handle the matters of the Divine Church yourself.’"

Just then, Hongmeng’s voice echoed in his mind.

Hua Tiandu immediately knelt to the ground, attentively listening to the divine edict.

"’Yes, My Lord.’"

Hua Tiandu accepted the order. He lifted his head, but the space in front was empty—the Nine Dragons Chariot had disappeared without a trace.

To this, Hua Tiandu was not surprised.The Lord of Hongmeng had descended to experience the mortal world and would surely venture out on His own. He couldn’t always stay here. Nor could He have all His followers accompany Him.

After Hongmeng left, He began to roam freely throughout the Xuanhuang World.

Sometimes He sat high on the clouds, overlooking rivers and mountains.

Sometimes He journeyed by boat, amid clouds and rains on Mount Wushan.

Sometimes...

「At this moment.」

Above a great river, Hongmeng lay lazily on an Innate Supreme Treasure Ancient Boat, with Bibi Dong and Yunyun in His arms, while Shui Yunji, Liang Bing, and others attended them on both sides.

"By the way, My Lord, in a few days it will be the four-thousandth birthday of Linglong Immortal Venerable."

Smoke and Water Sky, after several days of continuous interaction with Hongmeng, was no longer so nervous and uneasy around Him. Her limpid eyes gazed at Hongmeng with intoxicating admiration. Her red lips parted softly, and her voice, gentle and charming, said, "Linglong Immortal Venerable is the foremost master of our Xuanhuang World. She was once a disciple of the Taiyi Sect, but after obtaining certain opportunities, she was threatened by the high ranks of the Taiyi Sect, leading her to defect and create the Linglong Blessed Land!"

"Linglong Immortal Venerable is considered the foremost remarkable woman of our Xuanhuang World. Would My Lord care to visit?"

"With a beauty present, of course My Lord would want to ’play,’" Liang Bing promptly interjected, emphasizing the word ’play.’

"Are you itching for a punishment?"

Hongmeng cast a glance at Liang Bing. The latter, as if remembering something, suddenly shrank back, her long, shapely legs instinctively clamping together.

BOOM!

Suddenly, just then, a terrifying fluctuation came from ahead. Powerful beings were battling.

Hongmeng looked in that direction, a playful smile appearing on His lips. "Old Demon Fang Han."
