Follow the path of Dao from infancy

The young man in the silver robe smiled indifferently, not saying another word, glanced at the kneeling Red God on the ground, and without looking back, he turned and raced away.

Seeing this, the Dragon Lord said to the Wan Shan Demon King, "Old brother, I'll be on my way too, until we meet again!"

The Wan Shan Demon King nodded slightly.

The Dragon Lord looked at the Red God and asked, "Are you willing to come with me to Dragon Gate?"

The Red God felt a bitterness in his mouth. He had cultivated for thousands of years, had adventured all over in his early years, and had heard of the demon powers mentioned by these Great Demon Kings, having received invitations from them in the past.

However, like these Demon Kings, he had declined because he wanted a quiet life.

He had been guarding this ancestral river for four or five hundred years, meditating and apprehending the way here comfortably.

But now, he could feel the implied threat in the gaze of the Dragon Lord Demon King when he spoke.

If he did not agree, he would most likely lose his life.

These three Demon Kings were wanted by the Dayu Divine Dynasty, and since he knew of their whereabouts, he would certainly not be left alive.

"I am willing."

The Red God bowed his head, expressing gratitude, though bitterness filled his heart.

"Good, since that is the case, then come with me," said the Dragon Lord.

"May I pack my belongings?" asked the Red God.

"Granted."

Moments later, the Dragon Lord had taken the Red God and left.

Only the Wan Shan Demon King remained seated in front of the thatched cottage, his expression particularly dark.

Suddenly, a breeze drifted by and a figure in clean clothes slowly emerged from behind him.

The Wan Shan Demon King's expression changed slightly, but he did not turn around.

"You have caused such a calamity this time, do you still insist on going your own way?" the figure in clean clothes said flatly.

"Heh, did he send you to take me back?" asked the Wan Shan Demon King, his eyes displaying ridicule.

"If you're willing to eliminate your demonic nature and cultivate kindness, you can still be redeemed," said the figure in clean clothes.

"You've never lost a son before, have you?" the Wan Shan Demon King scoffed.

"But this time, he wasn't your first," responded the figure indifferently.

"But he was my last!"

The Wan Shan Demon King suddenly turned and roared.

His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the figure in clean clothes, "I will never be able to cultivate another son as bright as him, do you understand? You should know just how terrible my son's talents were, with time, he could have united the entire clan! What damned Holy Palace, what Dragon Gate, they would all grovel at my son's feet and listen to his commands!"

The figure in clean clothes faced his roaring without changing expression, calmly stating:

"Although your son was bright, reaching such a level would require at least a thousand years."

"And given the current situation, I'm afraid he won't have a thousand years."

Wan Shan Demon King glared at him angrily, but he knew that what the other party said was the truth.

To reach that level, at least a thousand years were needed, and that would be considered incredibly rapid progress!

But those guys have become restless.

He took a deep breath, restraining his anger, and said in a low voice, "I cannot go back with you, I want revenge, I also have to avenge Gao!"

"You are obstinate and unrepentant, do you truly seek death?"

The figure's gaze turned sharp.

The Wan Shan Demon King sneered, looking straight at him, "If you want to stop me, come and try."

The figure in clean clothes stared at him for a moment, then slowly said, "Your demonic nature is profound, and you refuse to repent, if you continue to be confused, I can't stop you, but some Cultivation Techniques you should not use in front of others, otherwise don't blame me for coming to capture you!"

The Wan Shan Demon King's expression was stern, but he said nothing.

"This is a Saint Heart Talisman, keep it to save your life, this is your last chance!"

A talisman wrapped in dark green light was handed out by the figure in clean clothes, coldly warning, before his figure vanished in a flash.

The Wan Shan Demon King took the talisman and put it away, his gaze turning dark as he sneered:

"Do they really think I'm a dog? I've cultivated for ten thousand years, I am a king, the king of the mountains and forests, the king of demons!!"

Infuriated, he looked towards the south, where Heavenly Gate Pass lay, and then, turning, he soared into the sky. When he crossed the Red Water River below, he raised his hand and furiously slapped down.

Demonic Qi churned within his palm, surging into the river.

The figures of demons playing in the river were suddenly filled with panic and terror as they looked to the sky in horror.

"Red God, save us..."

Some of the demons called out in fear, but their voices were drowned out.

In an instant, the entire Red Water River turned into a river of blood, its bright red color visible from the sky, resembling a sinuous trail of tears on the land.

And the figure of the Wan Shan Demon King had vanished from the sky.

Shortly after his departure, the figure in clean clothes appeared high above.

Looking down at the river of blood below, he softly chanted a verse and mused to himself, "Is this also considered subduing demons and eliminating evil?"

...

...

The next day.

Li Hao had the Nine Cauldrons Demon King's Treasured Blood escorted back to Qingzhou by Li Hongzhuang.

This was the second favor he was repaying to the Li Family.

Although he heard that they were no longer in Qingzhou, it did not matter, as long as the item was returned to that courtyard.

What followed was only the last agreement, to guard for three years.

Since it was already past half a year, and spring was about to begin,

Only slightly more than two years were left.

The snow outside the Frontier Pass had stopped, but the cold wind still cut to the bone. In two months' time, the regions to the south would welcome the spring rains.

And Liangzhou, being part of the southern regions of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, would see the arrival of spring earlier than places like Yanzhou.

Cangya City was still being built and perfected, the residential buildings within the city continued to rise.

People from the Heavenly Observatory were constructing Arrays on the city walls, and Li Hao flew out of the city to a solitary peak a hundred miles away.

He laid some hidden traps around him and then called up his system panel to check his attributes.

Now, his Physical Body Path, Control Path, Sword Technique, and Fist Technique were all at level 6.
