Chapter 1153: The Demon Saint Who Loses Face
"Meow!"
"Stop shaking it! This sound is awful, it's killing us!"
It is very clear-headed.
But it is precisely because of this clarity that one feels the terror that penetrates to the bone and touches the soul.
Suddenly, it could not muster any demonic power, control its body, or even turn its eyes. Only the clear, melodious bell sound seemed to still echo and cleanse its soul, washing away all its ferocity and arrogance, leaving only the most primal awe.
"Is it unpleasant to listen to?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow, but continued to shake the bell in his hand.
"I think it's alright."
To be honest, the bell only rings in a slightly regular pattern, and the sound isn't particularly melodic, but it's still quite pleasant to listen to.
After all, it's a precious treasure of a civilized family, so it has to be special in a way.
"We're going to die, stop!"
The furry ball begged for mercy frantically.
He didn't stop, but gently touched the golden-eyed cat head in the very center of the fur ball with his toe.
"Can you listen to people properly now?"
"can!"
"Really?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The three cat heads nodded hurriedly, their movements perfectly synchronized, their fur flailing wildly.
Seeing it begging for mercy, Gu Heng stopped ringing the bell, took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed the thick skin on the back of the middle cat's neck, lifting it up completely.
The cat's body hung limply, its three heads tilted to one side, and its tongue lolling out slightly, making it look quite comical.
No matter what kind of cat it is, you can just grab it by the scruff of its neck and pinch it however you want.
Gu Heng had a lot of experience with this.
And you know what, this fur ball looks pretty big, about the size of a lion or tiger when it's lying on the ground, but it's not heavy at all, it's light as a feather.
You can pick it up and swing it around for fun.
"Thank you so much, sir, for sparing my life..."
Golden-eyed Cat took a deep breath, but it still trembled.
"who are you?"
Gu Heng asked.
"I am the Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint, descended from the Heavenly Demon Cat lineage, and affiliated with the Heavenly Demon Tiger Civilization, belonging to the Demon Race Civilization Alliance."
Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint?
Gu Heng remained expressionless upon hearing its self-introduction, but inwardly he was secretly astonished.
Like other civilizations, the Demon Race Civilization Alliance also has its own set of identity divisions.
However, they cannot distinguish the five bloodlines directly like the dragons, phoenixes, and insect races. After all, there are more than a hundred races in this alliance, and they are a mixed bag. Therefore, they are more like human civilizations, which bestow titles upon the members.
Titles cannot be self-proclaimed; they must be issued by the Demon Race General Alliance of the Demon Race Civilization Alliance to be valid. Furthermore, each title is unique and is said to resonate with the gods.
At least that's what the science and technology civilization database says.
The titles are divided into six levels, and only those who have reached the Nirvana Realm can be granted one.
The lowest rank is the Demon General, who is mostly at the initial stage of Nirvana or has shallow experience.
The fifth-rank Demon Lord must have outstanding combat power or achievements in the Nirvana Realm, while the fourth-rank Demon Sage often needs to reach the peak of the Nirvana Realm, namely the "Unique in All Realms" realm.
Starting with the third-class Great Demon Sage, the title is only conferred upon Great Demons at the Concept Realm level.
The Demon Saint is the second rank, second only to the highest rank, the "Great Demon Saint".
There are only twenty-three Great Demon Saints in the entire Demon Race Civilization Alliance. They hold the highest position in the Demon Race Alliance and are extremely respected. At first glance, this seems like a lot, but Gu Heng thought about it again. This number is what the entire Civilization Alliance can offer. If it were distributed among the seventeen civilizations...
There are only two, or at most three, among them who are the best.
This level is not good enough.
Even the Wanchao Civilization, which claims to be among the top-tier civilizations but is actually somewhat exaggerated, has forty Great Demon Saint-level rulers in comparison. The three great divine kingdoms each have at least four such rulers.
Although there are only three left in the Qinggu Divine Kingdom, one of whom is a traitor, they still cannot be taken advantage of.
No wonder they chose to stick together.
By banding together, the so-called demon race finally has a voice in the myriad realms, at least enough to order food.
If they don't band together, the demon race will become someone else's prey.
"Are you the Demon Saint?"
Gu Heng looked the fluffy ball in his hand up and down.
This furry ball claims to be a demon saint, which means it has at least the strength of the conceptual realm's most wondrous stage, and it's even possible that it has entered the immortality stage!
But now it's in my own hands.
How embarrassing!
"Yes, I'm not a top-tier demon saint, but I do have a little reputation within the alliance."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint carefully observed Gu Heng's expression.
"Then what place is this?" Gu Heng asked again.
"This place is the Silent Bone Abyss, a forbidden area designated by the Demon Clan Civilization Alliance. Ordinary demons are not allowed to enter without permission. I was demoted to this place for committing a crime and was ordered to guard this ravine."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint spoke without reservation.
"Ordinary demons are not allowed to enter without permission?"
Gu Heng was even more puzzled.
If that's the case, why does Su Jinxi have memories of this place?
Moreover, these memories were transmitted to her unconsciously, and I always felt that there was a strong obsession within them.
However, considering her personality, she will probably just ignore this "no unauthorized entry" rule.
"Yes, this place is not a good place. We are here because we are guilty and have no time to groom ourselves. We are now so slovenly that we would be afraid to meet our old acquaintances."
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint sighed more and more as he spoke.
Gu Heng thought to himself that no matter how much he groomed this big pig, it would still look the same; it was so slovenly that he really didn't need to worry about it.
"The answer was pretty good."
He loosened his grip, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint fell to the ground. As soon as it landed, it distanced itself from Gu Heng and headed straight for the large blue stone next to it. The fur on its three heads was still standing on end, and it looked Gu Heng up and down with a lingering sense of shock.
This person's strength is only at the level of a Great Demon Sage, but the bell in his hand is incredibly powerful!
It had stayed in this Silent Bone Abyss for too long, almost isolated from the world, and had nearly forgotten those human cultivators who loved to grab good treasures and wait to defeat the strong with the weak.
and.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint seriously doubted that the aura of power he sensed was also fake!
This person doesn't seem to be a distinguished figure; logically, they shouldn't be able to produce such a musical treasure to provoke it.
Yes, their strength is definitely more than that.
"I wonder who you are, Great Venerable One, and why you would venture into this godforsaken place where no demons defecate?"
"I did not intrude intentionally."
Gu Heng explained again, "I intended to go to Tingyu Tower at Jinglong Lake; my visit here was purely accidental."
"Speaking of which, let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. Since you've been guarding this place for so long, you must know the way quite well. Do you know how to get to Jinglong Lake?"
"Jinglong Lake? I know it! I know it!"
The three cat heads of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint tapped forcefully at the same time.
"Jinglong Lake is located southwest of Shenyue Sea. Heading north from here, passing through Tunyun Marsh and Banyue Rock Vein, you will see Shenyue Sea, and Jinglong Lake will not be far away!"
Since this gentleman isn't here to cause trouble, let's see him out as soon as possible!
It'll be easier for it if we leave early!
"Uh, what Mirage Sea, Cloud Swallowing Marsh..."
Gu Heng's face darkened.
He doesn't recognize any of these place names!
"Take me there."
He had a flash of inspiration and immediately came up with an idea.
"Meow?!"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Saint bristled again.

P.S.: I updated my Hextech website yesterday, then went to prepare for my postgraduate entrance exam, and also took a break.
Double update today to make up for it.
