Demon's Diary
chapter-1315

8 days passed in a flash.

On this day, Liu Ming sat cross-legged in meditation in the secret room. Then, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside!

Liu Ming released his Divine Thought to scan the situation outside, and he was shocked slightly.

Liu Ming immediately stood up, flying out from the courtyard in a black light. After a few flashes, his figure appeared at the entrance of Emerald Bamboo House.

A bustling crowd gathered in the initially quiet bamboo forest.

Liu Ming recognized one of the people in the crowd. He was the innkeeper. At this moment, he was talking to the demons in gray robes with a bitter face.

One of the people from the crowd was a muscular demon in a gray robe, and he said, “Why are you so unappreciative as an innkeeper? Our young master likes the environment here, so he decides to reserve this place. We’re generous with the payment.”

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to rent the place out, but all 6 courtyards have already been rented out. Some guests made their reservations a year ago. I really can’t afford to offend them.” The innkeeper replied with a troubled expression. Although the innkeeper feared the muscular demon, he didn’t dare to offend the previous customers as well.

“So, do you think you can offend us instead of them?” Besides the muscular demon in a gray robe, a fat young demon with a round face snorted.

“Young Master, don’t get me wrong! Of course, I don’t mean that. It’s just…” The innkeeper trembled with fright when he heard the fat young demon’s words. He sweated profusely.

These demons in gray robes spoke loudly, which naturally alarmed the people in the other courtyards. After a short while, 8 figures appeared in the open space at the entrance of Emerald Bamboo House. Apparently, they were the demons renting the several other courtyards.

Liu Ming arrived first. After hearing the conversations, he had figured out their intentions, which made him frown.

Judging from the attire of these demons in gray robes, they seemed to be from the same family. However, there was nothing special about them. They seemed to have deliberately disguised their identities.

Although they restrained their aura, Liu Ming’s profound Divine Thought quickly discovered that besides the fat young demon and the muscular demon, there were 3 Celestial State cultivators among them. The rests were Crystallization Period and the Real Pellet State demons.

However, Liu Ming’s heart shuddered when his Divine Thought swept across the browless old demon standing at the back.

Liu Ming did not detect any demonic qi on the old demon, who looked like an old servant. It appeared as if he was merely an ordinary being.

Liu Ming knew in his heart that there was only one possibility for this situation; this person was a demon at the Mystic Comprehending State!

“If I’m not mistaken, this aura should belong to the Kong Xiang Family.” At this moment, Mo Tian’s voice sounded in Liu Ming’s ear.

“The Kong Xiang Family of the 4 great families?” Liu Ming raised his brows and replied through his mind.

“Yes.” After Mo Tian replied, he remained silent.

Liu Ming’s mind ran swiftly for a while. Although Guang Han City was guarded by the army of the central imperial, combat was forbidden in the city. However, it would be a different matter if the party involved were 1 of the 4 great families.

Besides, once a dispute occurred, it would be troublesome if it attracted the attention of others.

At the same time, the muscular demon in a gray robe glanced at Liu Ming and the others, and he smirked slightly. He pushed the innkeeper away, stepped forward, cleared his throat, and shouted.

“I’m sorry to bother your retreat! Our young master finds your Emerald Bamboo House quite pleasing, so we will stay here for a while. However, our young master prefers solitude and dislikes being disturbed, so we kindly request everyone to relocate. Of course, we will compensate you with 3 times the demonic crystals for the rent you have already paid. Does anyone have a different opinion?”

Afterward, Innkeeper Yan looked at ease, but the people beside Liu Ming showed different expressions.

People, who could afford to rent here, did not care about the compensation, but they did not want to offend those people.

Liu Ming had made up his mind, but he was not in a hurry to express his position immediately. Instead, he just watched from the sidelines.

A lazy voice sounded at this moment, but the tone was unfriendly.

“I’m satisfied with my stay here, and I have no plans to give it out. If there’s nothing else, please leave. I will go back to rest.”

It was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe not far from Liu Ming. His eyebrows were sharp as a sword. He looked quite handsome.

Everyone looked in the direction of the middle-aged man.

The fat young demon looked gloomy. The muscular demon in a gray robe even looked livid, but the browless old demon in the corner showed an indifferent expression.

“Hehe, who do you think you are? Fine, then show us how capable you are. Otherwise, you better get lost as far as possible.” The muscular demon in a gray robe exchanged glances with another tall and thin Celestial State demon before grinning menacingly.

As he spoke, the muscular demon in a gray robe made a move and disappeared. The next moment, he appeared next to the middle-aged man in a yellow robe. With a powerful grasp, a giant blood-red demonic claw materialized out of thin air and fiercely lunged toward the chest of the middle-aged man in a yellow robe. It was as fast as lightning.

Judging by the momentum, the claw was about to puncture a bloody hole on the middle-aged man in a yellow robe.

At the same time, space fluctuations appeared next to the middle-aged man in a yellow robe. A tall and thin demon emerged.

As soon as the tall and thin demon appeared, he burst out radiant bloody light, which condensed into countless blood-colored bone spurs about a foot long each. Then, the bone spurs were launched toward the middle-aged man in a yellow robe in all directions.

The 2 demons were determined to kill the middle-aged man in a yellow robe.

Although the middle-aged man in a yellow robe was at the Celestial State later stage as the 2, he was fighting 2 opponents simultaneously. Thus, the 2 demons were confident. Their faces showed a cruel complacent.

The next moment, their expressions instantly froze.

When the blood-colored demon claws were about to strike the middle-aged man in a yellow robe, a light flashed in his eyes. A black shadow shot out after a flash, transforming into a figure with slightly taller height than a person and grabbing the blood-colored claw with 1 hand.

At the same time, black scales the size of coins appeared on the body surface of the middle-aged man in a yellow robe. A black crystal curved horn grew on his forehead.

Clang!

The blood-colored bone spurs shattered when hitting the middle-aged man in a yellow robe, but they shattered, unable to break through the defense of the black scales.

The muscular demon in the gray robe and the thin demon was taken aback. The mystic arts they displayed were powerful, and they knew best in their hearts that even the demon of the Celestial State perfect stage could not easily block their attacks.

The browless old demon on the side opened his eyes with a hint of surprise, but he didn’t move a bit.

As soon as the 3 started fighting, the people around them immediately flew back to avoid getting involved.

Liu Ming mixed into the crowd and retreated more than 30 meters away. Seeing this scene, he also looked surprised. There was admiration in his gaze toward the middle-aged man in a yellow robe.

Liu Ming did not think he could fend off the 2 demons’ attacks without a magic weapon.

“Huh!” Just at this moment, Mo Tian let out a doubtful sound.

“Senior Mo Tian, what’s wrong?” Liu Ming asked in his mind.

“It’s nothing. The middle-aged man in a yellow robe’s technique is quite weird, which is somewhat similar to your demonization…” Mo Tian was slightly taken aback, and he said faintly.

Liu Ming frowned slightly, but he didn’t ask any more questions. He assessed the middle-aged man in a yellow robe with a little purple light in his eyes. At the same time, the robust mental power started to channel in his sea of consciousness.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in a yellow robe sneered. Several black demonic patterns appeared on his face. As he smiled, he looked even more ferocious.

He kicked his feet, burst into black light, and pounced toward the tall and thin demon. Simultaneously, the black demonic shadow that emerged from his body rushed toward the muscular demon in a gray robe.

There was a hint of fear on the thin and tall demon’s face. However, the next moment, he grabbed and released a blood-colored round fan about a foot long in his hand.

The round fan seemed to be made of dozens of blood-colored feathers. A blood-colored gemstone, the size of an eyeball, was inlaid in the middle, emitting strong demonic qi fluctuations.

Holding the fan, the tall and thin demon looked determined. He waved the fan hard at the middle-aged man in a yellow robe who was flying toward him.

A piercing bird chirp sounded as the fan emitted a brilliant bloody light. A giant bird, several meters in size, emerged. Its body was billowing in flames as it swooped down toward the middle-aged man in a yellow robe.

The blood-colored bird emitted strong demonic qi fluctuations that were much stronger than the thin and tall demon. Wherever it passed, the space was distorted.

Liu Ming was startled slightly. The blood-colored fire bird was not a simple spell condensed with ordinary spiritual flames. He could sense the fluctuations of soul in the fire bird.

“This is the mystic art of the Kong Xiang Family. They practice the blood demon technique. They are also proficient in the ancient spirit fusion mystic art which allows them to integrate some demonic beast souls into demonic treasures. Most of the Kong Xiang Family’s core disciples have demonic treasures with existences similar to weapon spirits, making them much stronger than ordinary demonic treasures. You should be more careful when you encounter them in Demon Abyss in the future.” Mo Tian’s voice sounded in Liu Ming’s mind.

Liu Ming was shocked when he heard this.

As Liu Ming and Mo Tian communicated with each other, the middle-aged man in a yellow robe collided with the blood-colored bird.

The middle-aged man in the yellow robe showed a glint of ferocity on his face and did not attempt to dodge. The black horn on his forehead shone and emitted a surge of black wave as he collided with the giant blood-red bird.

Wherever the black wave passed, the air emitted the sound of shattered glass. It was a highly potent sonic attack.
