Chapter 159: Chapter 123: Floral Fiend’s Skill and 2 New Hua Family Demon Generals

Hua Yuelou and the two elders stared at the pills in their hands, trading looks of disbelief. Lu Changfeng’s claim that a single pill could activate a Demon Fiend Bloodline sounded like a fairytale.

But on second thought, Lu Changfeng had no reason to deceive them.

’Could the Saint Master truly possess such heaven-defying abilities?’

As Lu Changfeng’s father-in-law, Hua Yuelou decided to be the first to show his support. "I’ll go first!" he declared, before tilting his head back and swallowing the unknown pink pill.

Lu Changfeng placed a hand on Hua Yuelou’s shoulder. "Father-in-law, I will help you absorb its power!"

Then, Lu Changfeng operated the interface, beginning to transmit the Ancient Floral Fiend bloodline into Hua Yuelou’s body.

All three men present were at the Bone Refining Fifth Layer, possessing outstanding physiques. In addition, the Ancient Floral Fiend’s bloodline was relatively placid.

A one-time transmission of two percent would be no problem at all.

Lu Changfeng infused two percent of the Ancient Floral Fiend bloodline into Hua Yuelou in one go.

A faint floral fragrance began to emanate from Hua Yuelou’s body. A single breath of it was intoxicating.

A moment later, Hua Yuelou’s eyes flew open, filled with ecstasy. "Haha! This is truly my Hua Family’s ancestral Demon Fiend Blood! The Holy Sect Saint Master is powerful indeed! Son-in-law, I can’t thank you enough for this! I finally have a shot at the Rebirth Realm! I can live for another hundred years!"

Afraid the two elders still wouldn’t believe his son-in-law, Hua Yuelou activated the Demon Fiend Bloodline on the spot.

His eyes turned a brilliant blue, his silver hair shifted to a vibrant red, and his features grew more refined and handsome. He looked like an immortal from a field of flowers.

Most striking of all was the dense demonic aura radiating from his body—that was something that couldn’t be faked.

Activating a Demon Fiend Bloodline could greatly enhance a Martial Artist’s physical constitution and raise their ultimate potential.

Hua Zhuri and Hua Yulong shot to their feet, their eyes gleaming with raw desire.

"Father-in-law, we can speak more in a moment. Let me activate the elders’ bloodlines first."

"Alright!" Hua Yuelou replied, stepping aside with great delight.

He inwardly celebrated his wise decision. ’Marrying Yiran to Lu Changfeng was the best choice I ever made!’

’In these chaotic times, you have to seek out and ally with a man of his caliber.’

As a thousand thoughts raced through Hua Yuelou’s mind, he could barely contain his excitement.

On the other side, the two elders had already swallowed their pills simultaneously.

Lu Changfeng stretched out his hands, placing one on each of their shoulders.

With the aid of the interface, he simultaneously transmitted two percent of the Ancient Floral Fiend bloodline into both men.

Two percent of the Ancient Floral Fiend bloodline was more than enough to help them break through to the Rebirth Realm.

Lu Changfeng kept two percent for himself, which he could use to test on other subordinates outside the Hua Family in the future.

「A moment later.」

The two elders opened their eyes, one after the other.

The bloodline transmission was complete.

"I have a Demon Fiend Bloodline! I’m not going to die!" The eldest of them, Hua Zhuri, wept with joy.

He was already over one hundred and thirty years old. If he couldn’t break through to the Rebirth Realm, he would likely die of old age within a dozen years.

For years, he had tried his best not to think about it.

No matter how powerful a person becomes, they will always fear the coming of death.

At that moment, Hua Zhuri couldn’t stop himself from kneeling before Lu Changfeng. "Land Demon Sect, my life is yours!"

Hua Zhuri knew Lu Changfeng’s position within the Saint Demon Sect, and he was making his allegiance clear.

Meanwhile, Hua Yulong had also recovered from his elation. After a moment of thought, he too knelt on one knee. "Land Demon Sect, words cannot express my gratitude for this great kindness."

Lu Changfeng told them both to rise, otherwise his father-in-law would be dying of secondhand embarrassment.

"You two, and you, Father-in-law—the Saint Master’s bloodline-activating Divine Pills are not given for free."

"He hopes that among the three of you, at least two will join the ranks of the Saint Demon Sect’s Ten Great Demon Generals," Lu Changfeng said, delivering the line he had prepared.

Now possessing a two percent concentration of the Floral Fiend bloodline, the three of them could begin their breakthrough to the Rebirth Realm at any time.

They could advance to the Rebirth Realm in half a year, or a year at the most.

Therefore, appointing them to the ranks of the Demon Generals now was merely a formality done in advance.

"The Ten Great Demon Generals?"

"I recall that’s a new position in the Saint Demon Sect, established by the current Saint Master," Hua Yuelou said.

Ever since announcing his decision to join the Saint Demon Sect, Hua Yuelou had been learning everything he could about it, even though he had yet to meet the ’Saint Master’ in person.

"That’s right. Bai Touweng, who is by my side, is one of the Ten Great Demon Generals. Their status is equal to that of a Demon Sect Master."

"A Demon General’s sole duty is to act on the Saint Master’s command, which leaves them with a great deal of freedom," Lu Changfeng explained.

Hua Yuelou and the two elders conferred quietly for a moment.

Finally, Hua Zhuri and Hua Yulong came before Lu Changfeng. Hua Zhuri spoke for them. "Yuelou carries the responsibilities of the Patriarch, so it would be inconvenient for him to be at the Saint Master’s beck and call."

"Yulong and I are willing to become Demon Generals and obey the Saint Master’s commands. Would that be acceptable?"

Lu Changfeng nodded. "That would be excellent."

Lu Changfeng hadn’t wanted Hua Yuelou to become a Demon General anyway. Ordering his own father-in-law around would be awkward.

If anything happened to him, Hua Yiran would surely chew him out.

The two elders becoming Demon Generals was the best possible outcome in Lu Changfeng’s mind.

"Then, on behalf of the Saint Master, I will present this ’Holy Sect Letter Paper’ to you both. With this, you are officially Demon Generals of the Saint Demon Sect."

Lu Changfeng took out two sheets of the letter paper and handed them to Hua Zhuri and Hua Yulong.

"What is this?" the two asked, taking the paper and examining it with puzzlement.

In front of them, Lu Changfeng took out his own ’Law Enforcement Demon Sect’ letter paper and began writing in the air with his finger.

Soon, text appeared on the paper in Hua Zhuri’s hand.

Law Enforcement Demon Sect: Your Majesty, I have completed the mission. Hua Zhuri and Hua Yulong of the Hua Family will become two new Demon Generals of our Holy Sect.

"Huh, words appeared on the paper! Law Enforcement Demon Sect... isn’t that you, Land Demon Sect?"

"Interesting. Land Demon Sect, you’re speaking to the Saint Master. Does that mean the Saint Master can also see the words on this paper?"

Hua Yuelou, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but lean in to look at the letter papers in their hands.

Just then, a response appeared on the paper. It wasn’t from the Saint Master, however, because Lu Changfeng hadn’t yet had time to take out the other sheet of Holy Sect Letter Paper for the Saint Master...

Gluttony Demon Sect: Ooh! If it isn’t the Law Enforcement Demon Sect, who’s never shown his face before. You sound so impressive, Law Enforcement Demon Sect! Can you tell your big sister what your duties are? Are you perhaps meant to punish us when we make a mistake?

Blood Saber Demon Sect: We meet for the first time. Greetings, Law Enforcement Demon Sect.

Bone-Eroding Demon Sect: +1

Demon General Lin Xiong: +2

Bai Touweng: Gluttony Demon Sect, watch your words. The Law Enforcement Demon Sect is the Saint Master’s trusted confidant.

Dark Buddha Demon Sect: Indeed. I have heard the Saint Master praise the Law Enforcement Demon Sect on several occasions.

Sword Killing Demon Sect: Gluttony Demon Sect, mind your tongue. Lu Changfeng is the number one genius of Jiangnan Prefecture. The Saint Master went to great lengths to have him join the Holy Sect.

Demon General Fanyun: Hey! What’s with all the sudden activity?

Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect: ...

Bai Touweng, Xuansha, and Sikong Jue were the three who knew the truth: Lu Changfeng was the Saint Master.

This barrage of warnings immediately startled Yui Ya of the Gluttony Demon Sect.

In a dungeon somewhere in Yong City, Yui Ya was leading several disciples of the Gluttony Demon Sect in a feast of condemned prisoners. She hurriedly wiped the blood from her hands.

After a moment’s thought, she wrote:

Gluttony Demon Sect: Tee-hee! I was just joking. It looks like the Law Enforcement Demon Sect completed a major mission today! Next time you’re in Yong City, I’ll treat you to a meal!

Lu Changfeng read her message and thought, ’Are you planning to treat me to a meal of hearts, livers, and lungs?’

But he let it go. ’I have to maintain my rigid and serious persona,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, the Law Enforcement Demon Sect will command no respect in the future.’

So he replied with a single, indifferent word: "Okay."

In the dungeon, Yui Ya was taken aback. The image of a rigid, unsociable martial arts prodigy who knew nothing but training immediately formed in her mind.

That was the power of text-based chat—a single word could be enough to paint a vivid picture of someone’s personality.

Demon General Hua Zhuri: Greetings, everyone!

Demon General Hua Yulong: Greetings, all!

"Hey, it really showed up!"

"Our Holy Sect is incredible! To think it developed such an advanced communication tool!"

It turned out the two new Demon Generals had finally figured out how to use the letter paper.

After the newcomers had spoken, a chorus of welcomes filled the group chat.

Lu Changfeng took the opportunity to pull the Saint Master’s letter paper out of his pocket and type a message.
