Chapter 9: Apprenticeship to the Demon Lord

Chu Mo glanced at the Demon Lord, his eyes filled with admiration

A hint of fear appeared in the old man's eyes

Fan Wudi's gaze swept back and forth between the Demon Lord and Sunzi, feeling quite perplexed, unable to comprehend the nature of the relationship between Chu Mo and this terrifying young man in black.

Such a commotion occurred here tonight, and this person even kicked that ungrateful beast, Zhao Hongzhi, out in the end

The strength of the other party has completely surpassed his understanding

However, the old man has been through many battles and has seen all kinds of people in his lifetime. Coupled with the recent incident, he has become completely disillusioned with Changsheng Tian.

The old gentleman glanced at the Demon Lord with some surprise and then praised, "You are truly impressive! You guessed the reason in an instant!"

It is said that the Demon Lord is a transcendent figure from beyond the world, wishing to take him as a disciple, yet he desires to become a disciple of Changsheng Tian.

Fan Wudi was about to say something when he heard Chu Mo say: "Grandfather, do not be anxious, let me explain it to you slowly!"

Apart from this, there is no other desire

Chu Mo looked at his grandfather and said, "You should have known just now that he is a beast"

The old man sighed and said, "I did not tell you about this matter because I did not want others to think that I was seeking to repay a favor."

Gazing in the direction of Yanhuang City, Zhao Hongzhi's lips twitched violently, and after a long while, his heart finally calmed down a little

Only because the Demon Lord appears too young

At that time, I was merely a minor officer, leading a team of scouts to investigate the enemy's situation

Given Zhao Hongzhi's background, even ten to twenty years ago, his level would not have been too low

He truly does not dare to stay here any longer, with only one thought remaining in his mind: to leave this terrifying place far behind, to distance himself from that terrifying person

The old man nodded slightly and sighed, saying: "He should not have been saved"

Grandfather! A cry of sorrow echoed from the rooftop

Chu Mo said: "Grandfather, don't keep me in suspense, just tell me quickly!"

Moreover, he is a disciple of the Eternal Heaven; does he not fear provoking the anger of people across the world by doing this

The Demon Lord showed no signs of pride, sitting there with a blank expression.

Even Fan Wudi, the old general who kills without blinking on the battlefield, could not help but slightly close his eyes

On that sharply defined face, there are almost no traces of the passage of time. However, in his pair of eyes, there is a depth that reveals a profound understanding of the vicissitudes of life. Clearly, his age is not as youthful as his face suggests

To be precise, it is a perfect slaughter

Even a slight movement causes excruciating pain

This expression of thanks unexpectedly made the demon lord feel a sense of being flattered, for this was the first time this little rascal had expressed gratitude towards him

The old man has finally regained his freedom. At the first opportunity, he cupped his fist towards the Demon Lord and said: "Although great kindness is not to be spoken of in thanks, I must still express my gratitude to my benefactor for saving my life!"

It also did not mention the matter of the Demon Lord sealing his qualifications and root bone

The Demon Lord beside him also glanced at Fan Wudi, but said nothing

With a tense face and an expressionless demeanor, he said: "I promised you."

In the room of the old general Fan Wudi

The old man chuckled and said, "It is the Pterosaur!"

A significant portion has long been swallowed.

The Demon Lord cast a faint glance at Fan Wudi and said, "I am not doing this for you. If you wish to express gratitude, you might as well thank your own grandson."

However, it seems that one's own grandson has not suffered any losses, no matter how one looks at it

The old man’s chest heaved violently as he coldly laughed and said, "Do you know why Zhao Hongzhi is so wary of me?"

The old gentleman is a straightforward person. If it were an ordinary individual, having just turned a crisis into safety, they would likely remain unsettled for a while. However, he has already begun to make plans for his grandson's future

However, upon seeing that his grandson was safe and sound, he could not care less about his astonishment. He immediately stepped forward, lifted Chu Mo up, and with reddened eyes said: "Good child, you did nothing wrong. It was I who was at fault for saving that beast back then"

The old man slightly raised his eyebrows, secretly pondering the meaning of these two words.

The old man looked at Chu Mo, nodded, and then said: "Fortunately, you have met this ... cough cough ... friend"

Later, upon discovering that I was unaware, they let me off the hook and allowed me to leave, also certain that I had been struck by the Blood Killing Palm and was doomed to die without a doubt

This is sufficient to demonstrate that the power of the man in black has completely surpassed his own understanding

Saying this, he spoke to Chu Mo: "Silly child, why aren't you quickly bowing to your master?"

Unexpectedly, in a deep mountain forest, I witnessed a terrifying battle

He endured it with great difficulty, and first opened his mouth, spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood, mixed with numerous teeth

Although the Demon Lord did not guess the specific reason before, he was able to analyze a general idea.

The disgraceful acts he committed back then were witnessed by you, and you saved him...

Zhao Hongzhi was utterly terrified, at this moment he couldn't even muster a thought of revenge

One urges to hurry, while the other wants to speak slowly

The old man nodded with a bitter smile and sighed

At that moment, the old gentleman suddenly remembered something and rushed out the door, only to find that the outside was already completely empty.

How could a dignified disciple of the Eternal Life Heaven be saved by his grandfather

However, it was ultimately something he had agreed to himself. At that moment, kneeling before the Demon Lord, he said: "Disciple Chu Mo pays respects to Master!"

One day, the child will personally pluck off his dog's head!" said Chu Mo

Rest assured, I have promised to take you as my disciple, and I will definitely keep my word

After resting for a while, he struggled to get up and stumbled away into the distance

Upon further reflection on Sunzi's attitude towards him, the old gentleman seemed to vaguely grasp something.

The cheerful laughter at the moment: "A friend may be named for magic, yet what he practices is the righteousness of a hero! My grandson is fortunate in this lifetime to encounter a mentor like you!"

The Demon Lord nodded and then said to the old man: "I take my leave!"

The old man twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat speechless

"Good child, quickly tell Grandpa what is going on with all of this?" The old man held onto Chu Mo's hand, unwilling to let go for even a moment, carefully examining to see if his grandson was injured or had lost weight

Bang

The fear in my eyes has not only persisted until now, but has instead intensified.

That is also infuriating

The Demon Lord smirked and said, "You can try to steal the egg of the Pterosaur and see if it attacks you, can't you?"

Then it was violently thrown dozens of miles outside the city, with half of its three souls and seven spirits lost.

However, Zhao Hongzhi now no longer feels any pain; he was kicked by the Demon Lord and sent soaring into the sky, directly flying out of Yanhuang City

At this moment, a guard at the door heard the noise and immediately rushed over: "General... how did you come out?"

Chu Mo then recounted in detail his experiences in Changsheng Tian

If such a strong individual could take Sunzi as his disciple...

Chu Mo nodded in agreement and said, "The back of a golden signboard can actually be filled with many dirty things!"

Because he discovered that his grandson was surprisingly not very courteous towards this terrifying black-clad strongman

The window made of hard rosewood was shattered by Zhao Hongzhi

Chu Mo spoke, then suddenly came to his senses and murmured: "I finally understand why he wanted to kill you, so that's it!"

Yanhua City

What is a prestigious sect... What is the number one in the world

What? Chu Moteng suddenly stood up, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief and shock: "The Wind Winged Dragon? This is impossible, right? Although the Wind Winged Dragon is incredibly powerful, it possesses a very high intelligence and is one of the guardian beasts of the human race. How could it attack humans?"

The Demon Lord tugged at the corner of his mouth, found a chair to sit down, and said somewhat impatiently: "If you have something to say to your grandfather, make it quick. Once you're done, we will leave"

The situation is already like this, and I no longer need to conceal anything from him

The old man sighed, looking at the Demon Lord with eyes full of gratitude, and then turned to admonish Chu Mo, saying: "You child, such a powerful figure wishes to take you as a disciple, yet you still refuse..."

Chu Mo was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself that you have sold me out just like that... You do not know how terrifying this demon is

The old gentleman did not know how to address the man in black.

Chu Mo's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he said: "No way? Zhao Hongzhi... has the guts to steal the egg of a Wind Winged Dragon? That is a ninth-tier elemental beast!"

Fan Mansion

At this moment, Zhao Hongzhi was left with only half a breath.

Chu Mo has always been very curious about this matter

I understand everything! Chu Mo said: "No wonder Zhao Hongzhi showed hostility towards me upon seeing this token; it turns out he is afraid of the scandal from years ago being exposed"

Chu Mo scratched his head and said, "At that time, the obsession in my grandson's heart was to worship at the altar of Eternal Life. Who could have imagined... sigh!"

None of this managed to elicit even the slightest reaction from the seasoned guards in my household

Therefore, he had to eliminate grandfather at the first opportunity

The current comparison with the facts is astonishingly consistent

How can there be such terrifying strong individuals in this world

This made the old gentleman even more curious

Zhao Hongzhi trembled as he took out a few pills from his body and swallowed them, regaining a slight amount of vitality

Staring at the grandson who suddenly appeared in front of him, Fan Wudi was somewhat taken aback

However, he spared his grandfather the torment of knowing what he had gone through with the Demon Lord, as he did not want to cause him any worry

Relying on the powerful elixir of Eternal Life and its potent effects, as well as Zhao Hongzhi's own robust constitution

The fact that he was able to steal a Pterosaur egg back then is sufficient to indicate that this person's character is highly questionable

The old man stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally, with a twitch of his lips, murmured: "No wonder they call him the Demon Lord... truly sinister!"

The old man rolled his eyes and pointed at the window: "The window is broken!"

The old man was furious on the spot, slammed the table, stood up, and shouted: "Zhao Hongzhi, this beast! Absolutely shameless!"

I never expected that one of my actions nearly harmed my grandson

However, the old man is very clear that this young man in black is undoubtedly an extraordinary powerhouse

The Demon Lord said softly: "Call me the Demon Lord."

Chu Mo said: "Then, you saved him, helped him heal his injuries, and promised him that you would not speak of this matter, correct?"

The old man sighed and said, "This matter, when mentioned, has already passed fifteen or sixteen years; at that time, I had not yet adopted you."

However, in the end, it was I who was wrong

Even the leader of the Eternal Heaven, including those ancestral-level powerhouses who have lived for one or two hundred years, probably do not possess this ability

Yes, it is flying

A little more, trembling, to retrieve the broken bones from the body

Yet I still feel that by rejecting me in this manner, my grandfather will surely be enraged, and thus, the disgraceful incidents of his past will naturally be impossible to conceal

Then, with a loud bang, Chu Mo jumped down from the roof and rushed into the old man's room. Upon seeing Fan Wudi, he immediately knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down his face: "Grandfather, I am sorry. Your grandson has been unfilial and has caused you trouble again, almost implicating you... I am sorry, I was wrong!"

That was the most terrifying attack I have ever witnessed, do you know what it is

Zhao Hongzhi feels an overwhelming pain

In other words, the Demon Lord agreed to spare Chu Mo's life; otherwise, this single strike would have been sufficient to kill him several times over

At that moment, a single remark from Chu Mo nearly left the old man in a state of disarray.

However, the Demon Lord soon felt that he was too despicable, as he was actually moved by this little brat's expression of gratitude

Saying this, he suddenly grabbed Chu Mo's arm, and in a flash, his figure disappeared

It is unknown how long had passed when Zhao Hongzhi finally awoke, feeling as if he had broken countless bones all over his body

Chu Mo did not respond to the old man immediately, but turned back and gave a slight smile to the Demon Lord, saying: "Thank you"

Simply too filthy

Chu Mo briefly recounted to the old man the events of his encounter with the Demon Lord on the icy plains.

It is my excessive belief in the golden signboard of longevity that has led me to this point
