Chapter 287: Chapter 143: The Strongest Demon Technique, Great Reincarnation Technique
Guan Nanfeng looked resolutely at the Third Princess. "Yes, we must control Mu Shiba!"
"Firstly, everyone present thinks Mu Shiba has fused with a Tier Three Celestial Demon Bone, but even a Tier Three Celestial Demon Bone would attract the covetous attention of countless powerhouses! After the disappearance of the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, whether it’s those Great Demons, Demon Kings, or the Demonic Cultivators lurking within Great Xia territory, they will immediately start investigating who obtained the Celestial Demon Bone! Although Mu Shiba’s strength and methods are outstanding and his identity is mysterious, if he wants to nurture the Celestial Demon Bone, he will undoubtedly need to consume large amounts of demon flesh. This consumption could make it possible to trace his identity through the whereabouts of the demon flesh! Under these circumstances, can Mu Shiba guarantee his own safety? Unless he hides within the Secret Realm forever and never comes out... Otherwise, if a cultivator possessing the Celestial Demon Bone is killed, the bone will immediately fall into someone else’s hands! That is a Tier Four Celestial Demon Bone! If it were obtained by a Human Race cultivator, it would be slightly better, but if it were to fall into the hands of a Ninth-Layer Perfection Demon King, wouldn’t a Demon King whose strength rivals that of our Emperor Xiao of Great Xia immediately appear! If that happens, the entire Great Xia will be plunged into a bloody turmoil. The already dire demon disasters across various regions will become even more severe, thoroughly shaking the very foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty! Princess, this matter is of utmost importance, and we can’t afford any hesitation! Besides, we’re only planning to use drugs to control him and protect him. We don’t intend to take his Celestial Demon Bone or his life. This approach is beneficial to him and to the Great Xia Dynasty, with no harm whatsoever! As the Celestial Sect Saintess and the Third Princess of Great Xia, you should prioritize Great Xia. Do you still need to hesitate? Do you still need to consider?"
Having finished conveying her thoughts, Guan Nanfeng looked expectantly at Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er.
Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s eyes flickered continuously.
She understood that what Granny Guan said was indeed correct! However, Mr. Mu had saved her life twice and personally taught her the Demon Capturing Array. Even if he couldn’t be considered a mentor, he was definitely a life-saving benefactor! And yet... just after Mu Shiba obtained the Celestial Demon Bone, she, the one he saved, was supposed to use drugs to control him? Though controlling him and protecting him would also be beneficial to him, how would Mu Shiba perceive it?
After furrowing her brows in contemplation for a long moment, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er said, "This matter indeed is of great importance, but Mr. Mu has saved me multiple times. How could I bear to... Please allow me some time to consider!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Nanfeng’s face turned slightly anxious.
"That Mu Shiba has obtained the Celestial Demon Bone and already gained control over the Secret Realm. Who knows when he might expel all the cultivators present from the Secret Realm? If he hides his identity then, it won’t necessarily be us who find him first! This matter is so urgent; how can we afford to delay any longer!"
A hint of melancholy touched Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s beautiful face.
"How about this: October 20th is my birthday. I will hold a banquet at Great Marsh Prefecture City and use this as a pretext to invite Mr. Mu. I believe he will not refuse. As for whether to use drugs to control him, I will give Granny Guan a definitive answer then!"
Guan Nanfeng shook her head. "Third Princess, this answer isn’t for me. It’s for the Great Xia Dynasty, for countless members of the Xiaoo family, for innumerable cultivators, and for the people of Great Xia! Everything is for Great Xia. I hope the Princess considers this carefully and does not act out of misplaced compassion!"
Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er sighed. "We’ll talk about it then!"
She helped the kneeling Guan Nanfeng to her feet, then looked at the thousand powerhouses present.
"Everyone, Mr. Mu has already collected the Celestial Demon Bone. This Ba Mountain Secret Realm now belongs to Mr. Mu, and I believe it won’t be long before everyone is asked to leave the Ba Mountain Secret Realm. I have a matter that I would like to request your assistance with!
"Firstly, Mr. Mu’s collection of the Celestial Demon Bone from the Ba Mountain Secret Realm is a significant matter. Please ensure you do not divulge this to unrelated parties!
"Secondly, October 20th is my birthday. I will host a banquet at Linshui Pavilion in the inner city of Great Marsh Prefecture City. This event serves two purposes: firstly, to celebrate my birthday, and secondly, to invite everyone to Great Marsh Prefecture City to jointly deal with the several Tier Eight and Tier Nine Great Demons in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range!"
Upon hearing Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s words, the expressions of everyone present shifted.
Yu Jiansheng of Prince Yu’s Mansion cupped his hands and said, "Rest assured, Third Princess. Regarding the Celestial Demon Bone, I will issue a strict order that no one from Prince Yu’s Mansion will leak this information. As for your birthday, I will bring elite members of Prince Yu’s Mansion, along with Wang Linghui, Wang Linglan, Changge, and others. We will certainly come and assist you, Princess, in eliminating the demons!"
Little Yu King smiled. "Don’t worry, Princess. We at Prince Yu’s Mansion had already decided to deal with those demons in the Sealing Demon Mountain Range after leaving the Ba Mountain Secret Realm! With the Princess’s Mansion and experts from the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect joining, we should undoubtedly win the battle!"
Han Li of the Thousand Sword Sect sighed with emotion.
"This time, my many disciples and I thought we were fully prepared and surely had a chance to obtain the Celestial Demon Bone. Who would have thought we couldn’t even get within sixty steps! Mr. Mu’s strength is truly awe-inspiring. This time, my own eyes have been truly opened wide!
"It’s rare that the Princess managed to gather such a powerful figure like Mr. Mu to assist. This is truly a matter for joy and congratulation!
"Rest assured, Princess, I will immediately dispatch people upon my return, and we will arrive at Great Marsh Prefecture City before October 20th to assist you and celebrate your birthday!"
Yang Luochen and Yang Luofeng, the two Tier Eight powerhouses of the Dongfang Mansion, also cupped their hands, indicating they would definitely head to Great Marsh Prefecture on October 20th.
