676 A Bird of Extremely High Status
“We are here. Please don’t be angry, master. We were afraid of tarnishing your reputation, so we didn’t come out.”
A small demon trembled as it came over and explained to the bird.
The bird was a little speechless. “I shouted three times just now, but you didn’t come out. Now you’re afraid of tarnishing my reputation?”
Hearing this, the little demon’s body trembled even more violently. It could not stand up anymore and fell to the ground. It said fearfully, “Master, what do you want? You can have anything you want.”
“Don’t you know what I want? Hurry up and bring it up for me.”
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, “All demons have to be respectful to me. If they don’t obey me, I will punish them. They are also very afraid of me.”
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, “Are these demons usually so noisy? I don’t know what kind of language they’re speaking, but it sounds really strange.”
The bird explained, “They are all very primitive demons. The language they speak is the most primitive language. It’s normal that you don’t 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.”
Hearing this, Master Long could not help but ask in puzzlement, “Don’t the demons at the bottom of the Hundred Demon Tower have higher power? In that case, shouldn’t they be more proficient in language? Why is it that the highest-level demons are more proficient in the language?”
The bird exploded at this moment. “Why 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, it’s all messed up! If it was in the past, the weakest demons in the Hundred Demon Tower resided on the highest floor.”
“The Hundred Demon Tower is in such a mess now.” Master Long was stunned for a moment. “Where is the guard of the Hundred Demon Tower? Why isn’t he here?”
The bird said, “The old man who was guarding the place has already died. There must be no one guarding it now.”
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. “You people don’t have to be so surprised that we’re all on different floors now. In fact, this is very normal. We don’t have such a bad temper as recorded in the history books. We’ve just been slandered. Most of the demons have good temperaments.”
At this moment, the little demon took out a dazzling exquisite lamp and knelt down to offer it to the bird.
“Master, here is a lamp that leads to the Netherworld. I hope you can accept it.”
Upon hearing the little demon’s words, Jiang Ming and Master Long both looked at the lamp that led to the Netherworld.
Not only was the lamp resplendent, but it also carried a fragrance.
Jiang Ming recognized the fragrance from the waterfall and could not help but be confused.
Could it be that this fragrance still had some good effects?
The bird seemed to have seen through Ming Ming’s thoughts and explained kindly, “The fragrance on the waterfall can improve one’s mood and increase one’s physical strength and spiritual energy. It’s just that there’s nothing much to increase your other power. That fragrance only makes your mood better.”
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. “How can you reduce my anger with just this little thing? Get me something better.”
Jiang Ming grinned.
This bird’s 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, “There is another sword in the Hundred Demons Tower. Where is it now?”
Unexpectedly, when it heard this word, the bird immediately shrieked, “Why would you mention the word ‘sword’ for no reason?”
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, “Does this word have any special meaning? Why can’t I say it?”
The bird was still trembling. Compared to Jiang Ming’s threat, it was trembling even more. It immediately said, “Thousands of years ago, someone brought this thing into the Hundred Demon Tower and killed many demons. Fortunately, that person didn’t have long to live. He died after killing them. Otherwise, we would be gone now.”
Master Long was dumbfounded. “Why is the story I heard completely different from yours?”
The bird started to curse, “Those 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.”
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. “Lord Ning Caichen, what should we do now? It seems that I can’t get this sword back.”
