676 A Bird of Extremely High Status
âWe are here. Please donât be angry, master. We were afraid of tarnishing your reputation, so we didnât come out.â
The bird was a little speechless. âI shouted three times just now, but you didnât come out. Now youâre afraid of tarnishing my reputation?â
Hearing this, the little demonâs body trembled even more violently. It could not stand up anymore and fell to the ground. It said fearfully, âMaster, what do you want? You can have anything you want.â
âDonât you know what I want? Hurry up and bring it up for me.â
In order to show off its power, the bird deliberately looked up at Master Long and Jiang Ming. The meaning behind its words was obvious.
It said with all its might, âAll demons have to be respectful to me. If they donât obey me, I will punish them. They are also very afraid of me.â
The little demon knew what the bird meant and began to talk to the other demons.
Their discussion was not loud, but it was as if something big was happening.
Jiang Ming and Master Long rubbed their ears. Jiang Ming whispered to Master Long, âAre these demons usually so noisy? I donât know what kind of language theyâre speaking, but it sounds really strange.â
The bird explained, âThey are all very primitive demons. The language they speak is the most primitive language. Itâs normal that you donât understand. The demons who speak a high-level language in the Hundred Demon Tower are at the highest level. You can understand the language of the demons there.â
Hearing this, Master Long could not help but ask in puzzlement, âDonât the demons at the bottom of the Hundred Demon Tower have higher power? In that case, shouldnât they be more proficient in language? Why is it that the highest-level demons are more proficient in the language?â
The bird exploded at this moment. âWhy would you think that? There are no levels here! Some powerful demons like to live in low places, while some weak demons like to live in high places. Now, itâs all messed up! If it was in the past, the weakest demons in the Hundred Demon Tower resided on the highest floor.â
âThe Hundred Demon Tower is in such a mess now.â Master Long was stunned for a moment. âWhere is the guard of the Hundred Demon Tower? Why isnât he here?â
The bird said, âThe old man who was guarding the place has already died. There must be no one guarding it now.â
Master Long did not expect this and could not help but be shocked.
He saw that in the records of the Hundred Demon Tower, many demons were hot-tempered. Moreover, each demon could not tolerate other demons, and they could not partner up with each other.
Now, they could actually swap their camps, which was really shocking.
The bird immediately solved his confusion. âYou people donât have to be so surprised that weâre all on different floors now. In fact, this is very normal. We donât have such a bad temper as recorded in the history books. Weâve just been slandered. Most of the demons have good temperaments.â
At this moment, the little demon took out a dazzling exquisite lamp and knelt down to offer it to the bird.
âMaster, here is a lamp that leads to the Netherworld. I hope you can accept it.â
Not only was the lamp resplendent, but it also carried a fragrance.
Could it be that this fragrance still had some good effects?
The bird seemed to have seen through Ming Mingâs thoughts and explained kindly, âThe fragrance on the waterfall can improve oneâs mood and increase oneâs physical strength and spiritual energy. Itâs just that thereâs nothing much to increase your other power. That fragrance only makes your mood better.â
Hearing these words, Master Long was stunned for a moment and could not help but look at Jiang Ming.
He was secretly envious.
As expected of Ning Caichen, he did not even need to increase his spiritual energy. Presumably, he had only used half of his spiritual energy before.
If it was him, he would definitely not be able to achieve it.
He had already lived for tens of millions of years and had yet to reach this level of power, let alone cultivate for a few more seasons.
However, Ning Caichen had obtained such spiritual energy at such a young age. No one knew whether this was a blessing or if this kid was gifted.
The bird looked at the glass lamp with disdain. âHow can you reduce my anger with just this little thing? Get me something better.â
Jiang Ming grinned.
This birdâs requirements were quite high. Who raised it to be so spoiled?
Master Long still remembered why he had come here. He looked at the bird and asked it carefully, âThere is another sword in the Hundred Demons Tower. Where is it now?â
Unexpectedly, when it heard this word, the bird immediately shrieked, âWhy would you mention the word âswordâ for no reason?â
Moreover, after hearing this word, the other demons trembled all over as if they could not hear this word at all. They immediately transformed into their original forms and hid in the deepest depths, not daring to come out at all.
Jiang Ming was stunned. Then, he looked at the bird and asked curiously, âDoes this word have any special meaning? Why canât I say it?â
The bird was still trembling. Compared to Jiang Mingâs threat, it was trembling even more. It immediately said, âThousands of years ago, someone brought this thing into the Hundred Demon Tower and killed many demons. Fortunately, that person didnât have long to live. He died after killing them. Otherwise, we would be gone now.â
Master Long was dumbfounded. âWhy is the story I heard completely different from yours?â
The bird started to curse, âThose things were all recorded by people. They had never seen the Hundred Demon Tower before. It was just fictional! Can you not be misled by these things? It is because of these things that we have a serious trauma response to this word. I still remember that person cursing and saying that the demons in the Hundred Demon Tower are all pests and that he wanted to kill them all. Otherwise, our brothers and sisters would still be here.â
With that, the demons below began to cry.
Some of the demons cried extremely miserably.
Seeing that the demons were crying for real, Master Long fell silent for a while. After a while, seeing that Jiang Ming did not reply, he took the initiative to start a topic. âLord Ning Caichen, what should we do now? It seems that I canât get this sword back.â
