Chapter 330: A New Testament
The offspring of the Demon Emperor, such a high-ranking demon, hardly seems of a lesser generation. Strong beyond measure, and now he's coming for me.
Wang Xuan frowned, "I'm fine on my own; worst comes to worst, I'll fight him. What worries me is if he targets my parents or goes after ordinary people."
Fang Yuzhu nodded, "Let's set a new rule, a new constraint, as our first order: Immortals and demons shall not harm ordinary people without cause."
Wang Xuan immediately sent a grateful look her way. With this rule in place, everything else would be easier to negotiate. The present world would essentially be at peace, freeing him from concerns about his family's safety.
As for the conflicts among the transcendent, who would fear whom? Time was on his side. Whoever wanted to target him, let them come!
Zhang Daoling agreed, "Alright, let's start gathering people then. Let those strong figures from behind the scenes manifest their ethereal forms to participate. Only after a collective agreement can it take effect."
Then, he looked at Wang Xuan, "This initiative is yours. What do you think it should be called? The Pact of All Tribes, or Modern Immortal-Demon Universal Values, or..."
What kind of terrible names are these? Wang Xuan seriously doubted Lao Zhang's taste, "Is there another option? Just call it the New Covenant, to correspond with that Old Covenant of yours."
Lao Zhang's hand trembled, and the copper mirror hidden in his sleeve fell out. He quickly picked it up again, sighing, "Someone really did establish a New Covenant!"
Wang Xuan keenly noticed that the beautiful face of the female Fangshi also froze for a moment. Her beautiful eyes widened, her red lips parted slightly, looking momentarily dazed.
"Hold on, what exactly is the Old Covenant? And is there a problem with me proposing a New Covenant?" Wang Xuan asked cautiously, feeling a bit uneasy.
"It's nothing, just some messy rumors, all sorts of hearsay, don't worry about it. It's just a name, after all. For instance, I seem to recall a rumor about a young girl who said she would do this and that."
Can you be more specific? Wang Xuan glared at him.
"Breaking vows, getting married, what else could it be?" Zhang Daoling laughed, then added, "There are many old monsters in there with all sorts of vows. For example, there's a shameless old demon who said whoever establishes a new covenant, he would marry them. Would you like to marry him?"
Wang Xuan didn't want to ask any further, feeling goosebumps all over.
"I'm right, aren't I, Immortal Fang?" Although Zhang Daoling was usually elegant, his chuckling demeanor somehow seemed irritating.
Rarely, the usually serene and softly smiling Immortal Fang Fang Yuzhu glared at him fiercely without saying a word.
And at this moment, Fang Yuzhu acted without saying anything, activating the Feathered Ascension Divine Ship. A shower of light rained down.
Vague shadows appeared on the screen; she used the divine treasure to contact the realm beyond. Soon, her true form appeared in the light rain.
Zhang Daoling also took action, holding a bronze mirror to stabilize the void. The screen showed a corner of the beyond, and he too contacted his true form.
Both wore serious expressions, using their divine thoughts to transmit messages. It took a while before they completed their communication.
Nodding to each other, their true selves would go to contact various factions.
Undoubtedly, there are special communication methods within each celestial realm, allowing for swift contact. Otherwise, how could those supreme experts know about the appearance of divine treasures in real-time? It's because they can receive news extremely fast.
Then, as the light rain steamed up, a bright moon reflected on the sea surface.
"Qi Teng, you've arrived," Zhang Daoling called out. A figure appeared in the divine sea and moon, Qi Teng, a true supreme master.
Wang Xuan remained silent. He had killed Qi Teng's subordinate, Zhou Chong, who had repeatedly plotted against him with the Soul Locking Bell.
"Qi Yi, long time no see," Zhang Daoling called out again.
Who was summoned this time? The Demon Ancestor, a man's silhouette, very vague, surrounded by a tumultuous demon aura, blocking the sky and sun, a true world-covering great demon.
Wang Xuan was wary; another powerful being not on good terms with him had arrived.
"Brother Zheng, it's been years, and you're even more distinguished than before," Zhang Daoling said with a smile.
The third person to appear was dressed in black armor, covering even his face. He was the supreme master Zheng Yuantian.
Wang Xuan was speechless, wanting to ask Zhang Daoling if this was deliberate. Why were all the invited his arch-enemies?
Then the fourth figure appeared, holding an ancient banner surrounded by chaotic energy, pressuring the cosmos. With white hair flowing and eyes profound, he was the only one among them who had obtained a supreme treasure, Heng Jun, a highly dangerous being capable of directly slicing through the great curtain to step out.
Wang Xuan felt like punching Zhang Daoling. Each guest was more outrageous than the last, all wanting his life.
"Old Heng, you really did it, obtaining a supreme treasure and making me sigh at the disparity in people's fates," Zhang Daoling commented.
"Is this truly about a new covenant?" Heng Jun asked calmly.
In the depths of the endless demonic clouds, the Demon Ancestor Qi Yi spoke up, his white teeth shining as he smiled, "When it comes to the new covenant, I remember many made oaths back then. If a new covenant is established, a certain supreme immortal maiden would marry off, and a certain old monster would become a servant, haha..."
He laughed heartily, his demonic energy overwhelming and his blood essence mixed with super-material, breaking through the heavens. The entire great curtain seemed unable to contain him, as the golden ocean within the bamboo ship roiled and the divine moon shook violently.
His statement caused many to change their expressions, not looking too pleased. Even the female immortal gave him a cold glance, causing the Demon Ancestor to somewhat rein in his aura and laugh off to himself.
Zhang Daoling had to quickly clarify, "That was too much of a jest. The new covenant has to meet various requirements, and only if the conditions of those days are met. This is not truly a new covenant, so let's not overthink it. Whatever is meant to decay should decay, and those meant to be mortals should prepare to be mortals. Don't get ahead of yourselves."
After a moment of calm, Zheng Yuantian spoke up, "The Banner of God Slaying is here, but where is my descendant? It was obtained by Zheng Wu."
Wang Xuan felt incredibly annoyed. Zheng definitely knew he was a fake yet still brought this up. Was he trying to label the Banner of God Slaying as belonging to the Zheng family?
"Your descendant is dead," said the female immortal.
This moment showcased her terrifying stature. Despite her ethereal beauty and celestial aura, she commanded respect. Even Zheng Yuantian fell silent, not daring to say more.
Wang Xuan felt more and more that Fang Yuzhu was reliable. Looking at the characters Zhang Daoling invited, not one seemed good. He began to doubt whether Zhang Daoling really was that figure from Taoism. Why else would he change his name?
At that moment, the female immortal also began to invite others. The first to arrive was a celestial being in red, gracefully descending upon the divine moon, revealing her stunning true form.
Wang Xuan was speechless, criticizing his own judgment. He had just praised the female immortal for being reliable, yet she invited a demonic celestial maiden. Perhaps it was also his issue. Whoever he invited seemed to have some connection to him. He reflected on himself.
