Suddenly, the lake exploded, and two figures shot into the sky from under the water.
They were the two Demon Kings who had dived into the water not long ago.
“There’s nothing in the water, not even a fish,” a Demon King said. “Yao Qing and the others have disappeared.”
“Disappeared?” The Demon Kings were surprised.
“How can you two come back alive when they’re gone?” Pixiu said coldly.
The two Demon Kings’ faces darkened. What do you mean? Is it our fault that the two of us came back alive?
The two Demon Kings endured the anger in their hearts and said in a low voice, “Lord Pixiu, we didn’t find anything down there. There are no enemies, so there’s nothing we can do.
“Why don’t you go down and check personally, Lord Pixiu? There’s really nothing we can do.”
“All of you, get down!” Pixiu pointed at Tiangou, He Yuan, and the others.
The expressions of Tiangou, He Yuan, and the others froze.
The two Demon Kings who had just been chosen to enter the water sneered gloatingly. You bastards, you didn’t say anything just now. Karma really comes quickly. Isn’t it your turn now?
“Hurry up. Don’t waste my time!” Pixiu said coldly.
Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings had ugly expressions. However, they hadn’t resisted previously, and they didn’t have the courage to resist now. They had no choice but to jump into the lake.
The lake with a radius of hundreds of kilometers was naturally incomparably wide for ordinary people, but it wasn’t too difficult for Demon Kings to search it.
After more than two hours, the Demon Kings rushed out of the water and came from all directions.
“Lord Pixiu, we’ve searched the lake, but we didn’t find Yao Qing and the others. We didn’t encounter any enemies either,” Tiangou said to Pixiu.
They were also a little puzzled about what had just happened. They had just personally searched the lake and indeed didn’t encounter any danger.
Then, where did Yao Qing and the others go?
Escaped?
That was impossible.
They had been watching from above. The perception range of the Demon Kings could completely cover the entire lake. It was impossible for Yao Qing and the other demonic beasts to hide from them.
“Looks like we’re in the right place.” Pixiu’s eyes lit up, and a fanatical expression appeared on his face. “Hmph, there’s no treasure that can escape from me! I want to see how well you’ve hidden yourself!”
A dazzling light lit up on Pixiu’s body, and then his body began to expand. In the light, his body expanded to a thousand feet.
Then he opened his mouth and sucked at the lake.
The lake water formed a water dragon and surged toward his mouth.
The scene was extremely shocking. All the Demon Kings were amazed.
Pixiu was really too strong!
It was a deep lake with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. How much water was there?
With a deep breath, the surface of the lake began to fall at a visible speed.
The Demon Kings were flabbergasted. How big was Pixiu’s stomach? Wasn’t he afraid of exploding?
Pixiu sucked for an hour. An hour later, the bottom of the lake was already visible, revealing the muddy lake bottom.
Pixiu patted his belly and burped. He looked down at the remaining thousand-foot-deep pit with some satisfaction.
“Let’s see how you can hide now!” Pixiu said proudly.
“Search! Search every inch of the lake bottom carefully. I don’t believe we can’t find it!” Pixiu shouted.
Before he could finish speaking, Demon King Ao said, “Lord Pixiu, I think… there’s no need to search.”
He pointed at a place in the lake.
“Mm?” Pixiu nodded and looked at where Demon King Ao was pointing.
“Little Jiao, I’ll give you great merit!” Pixiu said excitedly. He would only remember merits and not rewards!
With a flash, Pixiu descended from the sky and landed directly in the middle of the lake.
In the mud at the bottom of the lake, there was a ten-foot-wide area. There was no mud here, but a pattern of Yin Yang fish.
Compared to the lake that was hundreds of kilometers wide, the ten-foot-wide area seemed very small.
If one didn’t look carefully, they might not discover it.
The Demon Kings landed in front of the Yin Yang fish pattern with Pixiu, their faces filled with confusion.
“Lord Pixiu, is that the Demon Ancestor’s peerless divine weapon?” a Demon King asked doubtfully. Didn’t he say that people would feel that nothing could compare to it?
He didn’t think this Yin Yang fish pattern was that powerful.
“What do you know! This is a smokescreen!” Pixiu said excitedly. “This is it. This is definitely it! It’s just that it’s still sealed. What we’re seeing now isn’t what it really looks like.
“I know where those demonic beasts went. They were taken in by this peerless divine weapon! The peerless divine weapon has a spirit. It’s choosing its master!”
Pixiu narrowed his eyes. “Was there a human-demon among those demonic beasts just now?”
He looked at Demon King Ao and the other Demon Kings.
“Yes…” Demon King Ao didn’t understand.
“Why didn’t you say so?” Pixiu said angrily. “Can you bear the responsibility for ruining my plans?”
Demon King Ao’s expression froze. You didn’t ask.
Why would I think of reporting such a trivial matter to you?
Even if I told you, you might not have listened.
But he didn’t dare say any of this.
“Lord Pixiu, you’re right. I was wrong.” Demon King Ao lowered his head.
“Lord, is there anything wrong with human-demons?” Demon King Ao took the opportunity to ask.
“Hmph, back then, the Demon Ancestor abandoned herself and fell in love with a human. She even gave birth to a child for the human! The peerless divine weapon she left behind can sense the bloodline of a human-demon.”
Pixiu snorted coldly. “A human-demon might obtain the recognition of the peerless divine weapon!”
“Uhhh…” The Demon Kings were speechless. Only a human-demon can obtain the recognition of this peerless divine weapon? Then, why have you been working so hard? You’re not a human-demon.
“What do you know?!” Pixiu noticed the gazes of the Demon Kings and snorted. “A human-demon can get close to the peerless divine weapon, but it doesn’t mean that only a human-demon can obtain it. I have plenty of ways to make it submit!”
Before he finished speaking, Pixiu was already reaching out his palm and grabbing at the Yin Yang fish pattern.
Boom!
Just as Pixiu’s palm touched the Yin Yang fish pattern, a powerful light suddenly erupted from it and blocked his palm.
Then the Yin Yang fish pattern shook violently, causing the entire ground to shake.
The Demon Kings looked surprised and flew into the sky to avoid the tremors on the ground.
Pixiu roared and pressed down with both hands, wanting to grab the Yin Yang fish pattern.
Boom!
The Yin Yang fish pattern emitted a black and white light. Like a millstone, it stirred and pressed against Pixiu’s huge hand.
The two forces collided with an earth-shattering sound.
The Demon Kings were even more shocked. In their understanding, weapons were inanimate objects. This clearly uncontrolled weapon could actually compete with Pixiu.
Could it be that our understanding of weapons was too limited in the past?
Could it be that it’s really as Lord Pixiu said, that we’re ignorant and have too little knowledge?
It was as if a seed had been planted in the hearts of the Demon Kings. This seed had already begun to sprout. As for what it would grow into, it was still uncertain.
Boom!
With another loud bang, Pixiu actually retreated several kilometers.
As the Yin Yang fish pattern shone brightly, the black and white pattern actually shattered with a crack. Pieces peeled off, revealing the true appearance of a weapon!
