Bab 35: The Demon King Surrenders
Editor: Atlas Studios
The Demon King slowly woke up from his coma. At this moment, he felt as if flames were burning in his abdominal cavity. His core and physical body that were previously injured were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What's going on here?"
His body trembled, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Ever since he came to this place, he never had even a single good day. He was either in a coma or about to go into a coma. But why did everything suddenly change for him today?
Did someone heal him?
Those three demonic beasts wanted to kill him, as for their Master. No matter which angle the Nirvana Demon King used to look at him, he was nothing but an ordinary person. It was also unlikely that their so-called Master would have any medicine for him, so what was going on?
"It doesn't matter, I should recover first…"
Knowing that this wasn't the time to think about this, the Nirvana Demon King used his spirit to accelerate his body's absorption of the medicine.
Soon, a rich Sage's Truth filled his entire body. In less than an hour, the wounds and his broken bones recovered as if he hadn't been injured, and the energy in his core was also replenished.
The Nirvana Demon King trembled in excitement.
At first, he thought that it would take him one or two years of constant effort to recover even with the support of enough treasures.
He never thought that the liquid medicine in his body was so incredible to the extent that he had already recovered from most of his injuries in such a short period of time.
The Nirvana Demon King predicted that if there were two or three more portions of this medicine, the injuries that the donkey inflicted on him would not only heal, but the injuries he suffered from being suppressed for 8000 years would also be healed!
An Immortal-Grade pill, he had definitely consumed an Immortal-Grade pill!
"Why don't I stay for now?"
The Nirvana Demon King had once planned that once he had recovered enough to move. He would immediately run away. But now, he became a little hesitant.
A prescription that could release Sage's Truth and an Immortal-Grade pill that could quickly heal his wounds… No matter from which angle he looked, this remote residence had a lot of amazing secrets hidden within its confines.
If he could uncover the truth, a comeback for the Nirvana Demon King wouldn't be difficult at all.
However, when he remembered the terror in the form of those three demonic beasts…
He began to hesitate once more.
No matter whether it was—the donkey, the parrot, or the tortoise—he wasn't a match for any of them. The most important thing that he must do right now was to make sure that those three beasts weren't listening to what he was saying.
It was because the Nirvana Demon King was certain that once they saw that he was awake…
Those three would definitely make their move.
The Nirvana Demon King felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it.
Just as he was formulating a plan, he heard footsteps coming his way.
"He took the medicine that Master made, and he will soon recover. Before that donkey left, it repeatedly instructed that in order to prevent an accident, we should give this guy electric shocks at least three times before Master comes back…"
The parrot's voice resounded.
"Three times? Isn't that too many?" The tortoise was taken aback.
"Big Black said that in order to prevent our secrets from being leaked, we have to be more cautious. The more careful we are, the better. In fact, Big Black's original intention was to keep shocking him until Master comes back…"
"I had a hard time persuading Big Black against that idea!"
The parrot's voice was filled with helplessness.
"All right!" The tortoise responded.
"Keep shocking?" The Demon King's face trembled and he almost cursed.
What in the world? Was this something that a human could do?
Fortunately, that donkey isn't here. Otherwise, I shouldn't even think about waking up ever again.
No, I must definitely change my current situation! If not, I can only die in the bed sooner or later.
Depressed, the door of the room "squeaked".
A tortoise and a parrot came in.
Hu!
Knowing that they wouldn't let him off even if he continued to lie down and went into another coma again, the Nirvana Demon King was unable to tolerate it anymore.
Demonic energy filled his body and he violently charged outside.
"Oh no! He's already awake…"
Shocked, the parrot was about to rush out and stop the Nirvana Demon King when it saw that the old tortoise had appeared out of nowhere outside the door.
It pressed one of its claws down…
Thump!
Before he could react, the Nirvana Demon King fell from the air and crashed onto the ground.
Witnessing the old tortoise's claw pressing down onto him, the Nirvana Demon King's face turned pale.
He spewed out as many words as he could in the shortest time possible…
"Wait! Aren't all of you just worried that I will expose your secrets? It's fine as long as I don't spill your secrets, right? But it's not fine if I'm always asleep since no one will help you catch a mudskipper. What's more is that if I am always sleeping, someone will definitely get suspicious!"
If he didn't speak fast enough, he was afraid that he wouldn't have the chance to speak at all.
The old tortoise's attack came to a halt. It looked over to the parrot, obviously letting it decide.
"This…"
Tilting its head, the parrot blinked. Actually, it didn't really know what to do too, but the other party words' seemed to make some sense.
The mudskipper and the like were trivial things, but Master would definitely be suspicious if the Nirvana Demon King didn't wake up despite consuming the medicine.
"Since this is the case, sign a contract with me and become my pet…"
"If you become disobedient and turned evil, then I will kill you directly!"
After a moment of thought, the parrot declared.
When they were in the Forbidden Grounds, they heard the soul remnants talk about pets.
As long as a contract was signed, the master of the pet would know each and every move of the pet. In that case, the former wouldn't have to worry about any betrayal.
"Be your pet?"
The Nirvana Demon King's cheeks twitched. He almost died on the spot from anger.
He—the dignified Demon King—was to become the pet of a pet?
Did they really think that he was so shameless? Did they think that he doesn't have any dignity?
Today…
Even if they persuaded him till the end of times, even if they shocked him with electricity until he was forced into a coma, and even if they beat him to death.
He would never agree to such a proposal!
"You don't agree? That's fine too! Old Man, do as Big Black said. Keep shocking him until he agrees!" said the parrot.
"Okay!" The old tortoise nodded.
It was lazy to speak.
It opened its mouth and bolts of lightning gathered in an instant. But before the bolts of lightning could collide against its target, an anxious voice immediately resounded.
"You guys are vicious indeed… I agree!"
The Nirvana Demon King bit his fingers. A drop of his blood flew into the air and landed between the parrot's eyebrows. Light briefly flashed and a mysterious power surged. In an instant, the contract was successfully forged!
Although unwilling, who could the Nirvana Demon King blame for not being their match?
If he really dared to be stubborn, these two beasts might really obliterate him.
The blood penetrated into the parrot's body, and it immediately felt an extra soul mark in its mind. The soul mark belonged to the Nirvana Demon King in front of it.
The parrot would sense any hostile thoughts from the Nirvana Demon King, and it would be able to kill the latter by virtue of destroying the latter's soul mark.
"Since you are my pet now, you must listen to me. Continue to lie in bed and pretend to be unconscious. You must only wake up when Master comes back. In addition, Master still hasn't started his cultivation journey, and he has no cultivation base."
"When you are in front of him, don't expose your power!" The parrot instructed.
"Okay!" The Nirvana Demon King replied. His face was full of sadness.
After being suppressed for 8000 years, he thought that after escaping this time…
He would be able to directly dominate the world once more and force all of the sects throughout the continent to submit to him. But he had never expected even in his wildest dreams—that he would directly become a pet of a pet.
His heart felt albeit too exhausted!
"Those that take and endure sufferings will surely end up with success! It's not that of a big deal to become a pet. It's not like I became someone else's grandson!"
The Nirvana Demon King inwardly consoled himself. He was about to go back to his room and lie down, but a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.
"That parrot personally confirmed that its Master didn't have any cultivation base. Last time, my demonic energy wasn't successful in occupying its Master's body. In that case, he definitely has a treasure that can resist demonic energy…"
"But what if I used Soul Seizure?"
An idea appeared in the Nirvana Demon King's mind.
If he had some doubts before, he was now 100% certain that the young man—who was also the Master of those three—was just an ordinary mortal.
The Nirvana Demon King might not be able to do anything against those three incredible beasts, but it shouldn't be that difficult to deal with a mortal!
"If I succeed, then I will be the Master of those three demonic beasts. The so-called contract that I had signed just now will no longer exist. By that time, I would be able to treat them in whatever way I want, right?"
The Nirvana Demon King's breathing quickened.
It was easy to seize the soul of an ordinary mortal and occupy that mortal's body. As long as he succeeded, the world would become his pearl.
Kekeke!
Just as he was feeling excited, the Nirvana Demon King sensed something and he turned his head in a hurry.
His eyebrows knitted together for he felt through his divine consciousness that someone had sneaked into the compound!
It was not only him that detected something…
Both the parrot and the old tortoise also looked over in the direction of the disturbance.
…
"Elder Mo, there seem to be spiritual fluctuations inside! There's a battle going on!"
Outside the Secluded Immortal Abode, Yao Zhan—who stood guard outside all this while—sensed something. His eyes immediately brightened.
"En!" Elder Mo Feng nodded. "That Little Uncle-Master had already left just now, yet there are still people fighting inside. This indicates that there are indeed others hidden inside this compound."
"Then what should we do?" Yao Zhan looked over to Elder Mo Feng.
"You wait here! I will sneak inside and take a look!"
Taking a deep breath, Elder Mo Feng slightly trembled and he flew straight into the compound.
"What a strong demonic aura…"
Right as he entered the compound, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Elder Mo Feng's eyes narrowed. He was about to hide and observe everything from the sidelines when he saw a child-like figure before his eyes.
"Nirvana Demon King…"
Elder Mo Feng's pupils shrank and he felt cold all over.
The reputation of a person showed what kind of a person he was.
Although Elder Mo Feng had already made a deduction. He was still shocked and overwhelmed with panic when he saw the Nirvana Demon King with his own eyes.
That guy living here… The Little Uncle-Master of the Immortal Guardian Sect had really joined forces with the Nirvana Demon King!
