Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 383: Awaken the heart demon

The North Sea Demon saw the two of them looking obedient and couldn't help but smile, "You two were so arrogant just now, but now you're like little cats. Why the change in attitude?"

Ying Ying looked innocent and pure, and said cautiously, "If you were being watched by a demon, and there were hundreds of experts outside watching, you would also change your attitude..."

The North Sea Demon burst into laughter.

At this moment, the voice of the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan came from outside the hall, saying, "Senior, those two are my enemies. Please hand them over to me."

The North Sea Demon's face darkened and he said, "Yu Daoyuan, they are your enemies and mine. These two little ghosts played tricks on me and completed the suppression of my seal. It took me three thousand years to weaken the seal, and they fixed it in less than fifteen minutes! This grudge cannot be left unsettled!"

Su Yun whispered, "Senior, you also chased us from here all the way to Tian Shiyuan. So it's only right for us to retaliate..."

The North Sea Demon turned to look fiercely at Su Yun, who quickly shut his mouth.

The voice of the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan came from outside the hall, saying calmly, "Since they are also your enemies, please take action and kill them. Although I also have a grudge against them, as long as I see them dead, I can let go of my revenge. Senior, please take action."

The young man transformed by the North Sea Demon dragged the chains and walked towards Su Yun and Ying Ying.

Su Yun's eyes flickered as he tried to speak in a calm tone, not wanting to provoke the young man. He said softly, "Senior, when I repaired the large stone just now, I refined it. I can activate the large stone and unleash the power of the three great holy weapons."

The North Sea Demon blinked and asked tentatively, "Are you saying..."

Ying Ying, being straightforward, quickly said, "Su Scholar means that if you dare to make a move, he will make you kneel down and recite scriptures like before!"

The North Sea Demon's eyes twitched violently, and he suddenly laughed, "Interesting, Su little ghost is really interesting. No wonder someone said you are a half-demon."

It was obvious that he was still traumatized by the kneeling and reciting incident.

Forcing someone to kneel and recite scriptures was a special hobby of Confucius. Back then, Confucius, Sakyamuni, and Laozi chased and fought the demon all the way here, and suppressed him here.

The three saints and a group of experts couldn't kill the demon, so they had no choice but to leave behind their treasures to seal him. Because of his special hobby, Confucius also made him memorize the three classic scriptures of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

For the past two to three thousand years, the North Sea Demon had been tormented by Confucius' peculiar hobby!

"Who is the person you mentioned?" Su Yun asked cautiously.

The North Sea Demon did not answer, and sneered, "The brat managed to counterattack without anyone noticing, and now he's using it to control me. It's difficult to kill him now... I might even make a fool of myself..."

The God Emperor Yu Daoyuan's lower body was missing, and he was floating in the air, bloodied. He said indifferently, "Why haven't you killed those two little ghosts yet?"

The North Sea Demon lazily replied, "Yu Daoyuan, whether I kill them or not is none of your business. Do I need your permission?"

Yu Daoyuan's eyes twitched, and he smiled, "If you don't want to take action, why not hand them over to me? I can do it for you..."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" The North Sea Demon sneered, "Yu Daoyuan, your moral character is despicable and disgusting, it's nauseating. Your lust and desire have corrupted you. I saw a disgusting scene in your spiritual realm, you and Pan Yang were... I have never seen a saint like you. When I was rampant in Yuanshuo, someone like you, with no moral character, would have been killed by me long ago! Are you qualified to teach me how to do things?"

Yu Daoyuan's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He couldn't help but want to kill the demon immediately, but he was afraid of being manipulated by the demon to break the seal and escape.

He wanted to personally enter the hall to deal with Su Yun, but he was worried about the demon manipulating his moral character. He hesitated.

There was indeed a flaw in his moral character, and the demon didn't see it before, so he didn't dare to take direct action. But after spending more than ten days breaking the seal, the North Sea Demon had observed him for more than ten days and had already seen his flaw!

Entering the hall would probably be walking into a trap!

"Since the senior wants to protect these two juniors, then I will take my leave."

The God Emperor Yu Daoyuan turned around, his face cold, and floated towards the north gate: "Let's go!"

Outside the hall, many experts from the Overseas Heavenly Tower felt extremely frustrated, but they had no choice and quickly followed him.

As the saying goes, one thing suppresses another. The God Emperor Yu Daoyuan could easily kill Su Yun, and Su Yun could activate the holy stone at the back of the hall to suppress the demon with the three great holy weapons. The North Sea Demon could restrain the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan with his power!

Among the three, a subtle balance was formed.

Su Yun walked out from the corner, looking around and observing the progress of the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan and the others.

The North Sea Demon stared at the back of his head and thought, "If I suddenly make a move and kill him, then kneel down and recite the scriptures, I can definitely get away with it..."

Just as he was thinking this, Ying Ying suddenly popped out and said, "Boo!"

The North Sea Demon was so scared that his hair stood on end, but when he saw it was her, he snorted and lay back, resting his hands behind his head, and lazily said, "Stop looking. Yu Daoyuan can't break the seal on the north gate. That seal is used to seal gods."

Su Yun sat down opposite him, and asked curiously, "Seal gods? Why seal gods?"

Ying Ying sat down cross-legged on Su Yun's shoulder and also asked curiously, "Also, with four heads, why are you guarding this place, and who ordered you to do so?"The Northern Sea Demon glanced at them, lazily tugging at the chains on his body, and said, "You ask too many questions. I'm not your prisoner and won't answer."

Su Yun and Ying Ying looked at him.

After a moment, the Northern Sea Demon sat up with a roll of his bones and sneered, "Fine, no fight, no acquaintance. I'll deign to answer some of your questions to relieve the boredom. But let's get one thing straight, I'm not called 'Stubborn Head'; I have a name, and it's Peng Hao."

"Is there a surname Peng?" Ying Ying wondered.

Demon Peng Hao sneered, "Is there a surname Ying? In this vast world, all is possible. I am surnamed Peng!"

Ying Ying, resigned, said, "Alright, you win. Why do you guard this place?"

Demon Peng Hao replied, "I am ordered by the Martial Immortal to guard this place and sever the divine connection between the two realms."

Su Yun was greatly shocked and blurted out, "You're a demon under the command of the Martial Immortal?"

Demon Peng Hao shook his head, "I am not under his command; I simply have a request of him. I have a deep-seated hatred that must be avenged. My enemy is in the Immortal Realm, so I must enter it! I failed to avenge in my previous life and died, so I thought to live another life. But my cultivation is still insufficient to enter the Immortal Realm..."

He fell silent.

Su Yun said, "So you contacted the Martial Immortal by some means, and he has you guard here, severing the pathway between the two realms. He promised that after a certain period, he would let you enter the Immortal Realm to seek revenge. Is that right?"

Demon Peng Hao nodded.

Su Yun asked again, "Why does the Martial Immortal want you to sever the divine connection and cut off the communication between the two realms?"

Demon Peng Hao shook his head, placed his hands behind his head, lay back, and said, "He asked me to do the job; I cannot inquire about the reasons. This Black Iron City that separates the two realms was also dropped here by him. Yu Daoyuan wants to break the Martial Immortal's seal, heh, once he reaches the deepest layer, he will suffer..."

Su Yun got up and paced back and forth, then suddenly stopped and said, "The Martial Immortal strictly forbids anyone from becoming an immortal. Anyone with the power to become immortal will trigger the Immortal Sword to behead them. And now, he has severed the communication between the two realms. Peng Hao, aren't you curious?"

"Not curious."

The demon lay on his back, legs crossed, leisurely saying, "Although I am suppressed here, I am fulfilling his condition by guarding this place. Once the time comes, he will keep his promise and let me enter the Immortal Realm for revenge!"

Su Yun said coldly, "Will the Martial Immortal really keep his promise?"

Peng Hao's legs stopped swinging, and his expression turned cold.

Su Yun continued, "Even if the Martial Immortal keeps his promise, how can you be sure you can take revenge? Peng Hao, is your strength truly sufficient for revenge?"

Demon Peng Hao laughed heartily.

Su Yun let him laugh until he stopped, then continued, "If you were confident in your revenge, you wouldn't have caused the demon turmoil during the era of the Confucian scholars three thousand years ago. I've seen the various demonic spiritual weapons and treasures you've crafted in Black Iron City. So many demonic treasures must have harmed countless beings of the Northern Sea to be forged!"

"I am a demon; it's only natural for me to do such things!" Peng Hao sat up, proudly declaring.

Su Yun stepped behind him and said indifferently, "I know two demons, each with their pride, each with their own do's and don'ts. Their every action is controlled by obsession. Your actions are the same, but even more insane."

Peng Hao's eyes twitched, and suddenly another face grew out of his neck, staring dead at Su Yun.

Su Yun moved to his left and continued, "What drives your insane actions is the obsession with revenge. It's precisely because you know your strength is insufficient for revenge, that even if the Martial Immortal lets you into the Immortal Realm, you still lack the power to take revenge, so you ruthlessly killed the demons of the Northern Sea. You used their spirits to refine treasures. Still unsatisfied, you entered the Heavenly Market to collect ghostly spirits for refinement. Then you set your sights on the billions of beings in Yuan Shuo, attempting to use their lives to enhance your strength, but you kicked an iron plate."

Peng Hao stood up, a face also appearing on his left side, sneering, "Su Scholar, are you trying to induce a demon to develop inner demons?"

Su Yun looked at him squarely, smiling, "It's not me causing your Dao heart to develop inner demons; it's you who have developed them yourself. You've been suppressed for three thousand years, and even if the Martial Immortal keeps his promise and lets you into the Immortal Realm, what awaits you is not successful revenge, but complete failure, with no chance of turning over!"

"Stop talking!" Peng Hao roared with four voices overlapping!

At that moment, four faces burst out of his head, each seeming to have its own body, as if trying to crawl out, their faces twisted and ferocious!

Su Yun was not afraid at all and continued, "The Black Iron City left by the Martial Immortal should have taught you how to open the city gates. The south gate is open because the Confucian scholars opened it while chasing you, and you didn't have time to close it. Since you can open the south gate, you must also know how to open the north gate."

Peng Hao stared at him, silent.

Ying Ying couldn't help but sweat.

Su Yun, seemingly oblivious to the danger, smiled, "You pass the method to me, I'll open the gate, and you can have other possibilities, not just the possibility of defeat."

Peng Hao panted heavily, and after a long while, suddenly four voices said at once, "Fine! I'll trust you once!"
