"Mi Yong!"
Standing within the pagoda, Ling Xiao suddenly called out.
Boom!
Surging demonic energy instantly roiled, and Mi Yong's figure abruptly materialized before Ling Xiao.
"Seriously,do you have to make such a grand entrance every single time you appear?" Ling Xiao sighed helplessly. Die Ying, standing to the side, however, curled her lips into a sweet smile.
"We pay our respects to our Master."
"I acquired a treasure.Consider it a gift for you." Ling Xiao's hand swept out abruptly. A dark light instantly filled the space around them.
A heart-palpitating, terrifying pressure, like a collapsing mountain, descended towards Mi Yong.
"Hmm?"The latter's pupils constricted. Knowing this was a test from Ling Xiao, demonic light surged around his body. He raised his hands and firmly grasped the dark light.
Clang!
A piercing sound of collision reverberated.
In Mi Yong's hands, a pitch-black iron rod now gleamed, an ancient, desolate aura faintly emanating from it.
It was precisely the ancient Divine Artifact given to Ling Xiao by the Cloud Millet Immortal Sect's Divine Marquis elder.
"A fine staff!" Mi Yong's eyes narrowed. As he swung it with both hands, the black staff became a whirlwind, moving up and down with peerless force.
Yesterday,Die Ying had gotten that demonic dagger and had shown it off to him. Mi Yong had felt somewhat jealous.
But now,the divine staff bestowed by the Master was clearly of an even higher grade. How could this not delight him?
"Thank you, Master!!" Mi Yong dropped to one knee, his eyes filled with reverence.
Unlike all the other great demons he had encountered before,while Ling Xiao was extremely cruel to his enemies, he showed immense care towards his subordinates.
What kind of follower wouldn't pledge loyalty to such a master?
Hiss… Still feels like something's missing.
But now,Ling Xiao was frowning, looking at the demon ape before him and shaking his head slightly.
Right! It needs a circlet!
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up. He retrieved the Wind-Fire Golden Chime Ring that Qin Leng had finally pressed into his hands from his Qiankun Bag and gestured towards Mi Yong's head a couple of times.
"A Divine Artifact!!" Mi Yong's eyes widened. Even Die Ying beside him couldn't help but cover her crimson lips with her hand.
Was the Master planning to give Mi Yong another Divine Artifact?
Although they both hailed from ancient times,they had been sealed for a full thousand years.
In ancient times,while the living beings' cultivation was terrifying, Divine Artifacts were exceedingly rare.
But as eras passed and more powerful experts fell,the number of Divine Artifacts left behind in the world naturally increased.
Nowadays,those talented young monsters and freaks didn't even dare to go out without a few Divine Artifacts on them.
It was simply too embarrassing otherwise!
"Mi Yong, do you know why I am rewarding you today?" Ling Xiao's hand shimmered with spiritual light. The golden ring in his hand also radiated a divine glow, then slowly enlarged until it matched the circumference of Mi Yong's head before stopping.
"Master… This subordinate… is humbled and apprehensive." Mi Yong shook his head.
His contribution during this treasure hunt in Sunset Mountain hadn't been particularly great.
In contrast,Die Ying, relying on her illusion arts, had successfully helped Ling Xiao turn the Qin Clan and the Cloud Millet Immortal Sect, two supreme orthodoxies, against each other.
Although the Master had rewarded Die Ying with a Dao Principle Spirit Fruit and a Divine Artifact,what virtue or ability did he possess to deserve two Divine Artifacts?
"Because I feel like it." Ling Xiao grinned widely and directly placed the golden ring on Mi Yong's head.
"Mmm!Now it really looks the part." Now he really has that 'Sun Wukong' vibe.
"Pfft!" Seeing the confusion on Mi Yong's face, Die Ying's face broke into a smile.
But in her heart,she swore to work even harder for the Master in the future.
Mi Yong receiving treasures today was probably due to his loyalty to the Master.
Especially his attitude;it was indeed more proactive than hers.
"Thank you, Master!!" Mi Yong kowtowed, and Ling Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
I've got the big senior brother. The second senior brother is still young. Where's the third senior brother?
Once he assembled the foursome from theJourney to the West, it would probably be time to go fetch the scriptures from the Sacred Church.
How amusing!
Who said a villain's life was dull and monotonous?
That was just because you hadn't discovered the wonders of this world!
Oh,and if it wasn't wonderful, they would just create it with their own hands!
"Train well." Ling Xiao's figure vanished into thin air, and the Eight Desolates Glazed Pagoda was directly tossed into his Soul Palace.
"Hmm? Damnable Ling Xiao!!" From the ninth floor, an angry roar instantly erupted, startling all the demons sealed within the ancient pagoda, sending a sudden chill down their spines.
