Chapter 280 The Black Wind Demon King Recognizes His Master
"Okay! I promise you!" The Black Wind Demon King agreed without hesitation. For him, as long as he could survive, any conditions were acceptable.
Lin Han nodded slightly, then snapped his fingers. Within a moment, the Black Wind Demon King felt a strange power surge into his body, instantly establishing a connection with the depths of his soul. He understood that this was the mark Lin Han had left on him. From now on, his life and death would be in Lin Han's hands.
"Remember, if you dare to betray me or conceal something, I will immediately destroy you physically and spiritually, and you will never be reborn!" Lin Han warned coldly.
The Black Wind Demon King's heart trembled, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I absolutely dare not have the slightest intention of betraying you."
"Oh... by the way, there's something else I want to ask you." At this moment, Lin Han seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Is the Sky Demon of your demon clan going to break through the seal soon?"
"Master, how did you get this news?" When the Black Wind Demon King heard Lin Han mention the Heavenly Demon, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Lin Han didn't answer directly, but said calmly: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. You just need to answer my questions."
The Black Wind Demon King quickly bowed his head and replied respectfully, "Master, please be advised. Lord Sky Demon is indeed about to break free from his seal. This is a crucial secret within the demon race, known only to a select few. Once Lord Sky Demon breaks free from his seal, our demon race's power will be greatly enhanced, and the entire world of immortal cultivation will face a formidable threat."
Lin Han frowned. The Heavenly Demon's breakthrough would undoubtedly be a disaster for the entire world of immortal cultivation. He knew that as the Inspector of the Divine Mysterious Palace, he had the responsibility and obligation to prevent this from happening.
"Do you know when this demon will break the seal?" Lin Han asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know the exact time, but according to the ancient books of my tribe, the seal of Lord Tianyao has loosened, probably within these few years." The Black Wind Demon King answered truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Lin Han couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself: As expected, just as Master Feng said, the Demon King will break the seal in five years. It's really a bit tricky. I estimate that the strength of the Demon King is probably... at least at the Mahayana stage, right?
Lin Han took a deep breath, his face displaying an unprecedented solemnity. Reaching the Mahayana stage was still a long way off for him. If the Heavenly Demon King truly broke free from the seal, the entire world of cultivation would face catastrophic destruction.
"Looks like I need to speed up my cultivation," Lin Han decided secretly. He knew the weight of responsibility he shouldered. As the Inspector of the Divine Mysterious Palace, he not only had to protect the safety of the human race, but also to maintain peace throughout the entire cultivation world.
"After you go back, carefully monitor the Demon King's every move, especially the movements of the Heavenly Demon. If there is anything unusual, immediately send a message to me through your spiritual sense. Is that clear?" Lin Han said to the Black Wind Demon King.
"Yes, master, I will do my best and will never let you down." The Black Wind Demon King nodded quickly. He understood that his life and death were closely tied to Lin Han. If he did not do his best, his end would be miserable.
"How are you going to report to the Demon King if you don't get the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower this time?" Lin Han suddenly thought of the key issue and continued, "This Seven-Colored Glazed Flower is of great use to me, so I can't give it to you."
Upon hearing this, the Black Wind Demon King showed a bitter smile on his face. He naturally knew the importance of the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower to Lin Han. Moreover, his life and death were now in Lin Han's control, so how could he dare to have any greed in his heart?
"Master, rest assured. I will find a way to report this to the Demon King." The Black Wind Demon King replied respectfully. "I will report the truth, saying that I encountered the Inspector General of the Divine Mysterious Palace. You are too powerful to resist, and you have taken the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower. Although the Demon King is furious, he will not dare to easily become an enemy of the Divine Mysterious Palace. I believe he will give up for now."
But... in order to ensure that I can get away with it, I..."
Thinking of this, the Black Wind Demon King slapped his chest without any hesitation. A black demonic energy instantly burst out from his body, forming a terrible wound with blood dripping.
"What do you mean?" Lin Han frowned and looked at the Black Wind Demon King in confusion.
"Master, this is a self-inflicted injury. I want to prove to the Demon King that I have indeed encountered a powerful opponent, which is why I failed to bring back the Seven-Colored Glazed Flower." The Black Wind Demon King explained, without a trace of pain on his face, as if the palm strike did not hit him.
Lin Han nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation for the Black Wind Demon King's actions. He knew that although the Black Wind Demon King was the demon king of the demon clan, he was not afraid to attack him in order to save his life. This ruthlessness and decisiveness were indeed a sign of his character.
"You go now, and remember, from now on, your life and death will be in my hands. But don't worry, as long as you work for me seriously and have no second thoughts, when the time is right I will give you a pill that is enough for you to break through the Demon King realm and surpass the current Demon King. So you will naturally be able to become the new generation - the Demon King!" Lin Han looked at the Black Wind Demon King and said slowly.
Upon hearing this, the Black Wind Demon King's eyes flashed with ecstasy. As a Demon King, he naturally knew how precious the elixir needed to break through to the Demon Emperor realm was. Once he obtained it, his cultivation would be greatly enhanced, and the entire Demon Clan would follow his lead. Furthermore, Lin Han had promised him the title of the new Demon Emperor, which was undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.
"Thank you, master! I will do my best and will never let you down!" said the Black Wind Demon King excitedly, his eyes full of gratitude and awe.
"Okay, take your men and leave!" Lin Han waved his hand lightly, indicating that the Black Wind Demon King could leave.
The Black Wind Demon King didn't dare hesitate for a moment and quickly left the place with his men in disgrace. He knew that although he had saved his life temporarily, he still had a long way to go. Only by doing his best to serve Lin Han could he ensure his own safety.
Watching the Black Wind Demon King go away, Lin Han withdrew his gaze, then waved his hand, lifting the hearing blockade of everyone around him.
"Sir Inspector, the Black Wind Demon King..." At this time, Su Xinghe stepped forward and asked hesitantly, obviously feeling a little puzzled that Lin Han let the Black Wind Demon King go so easily.
"City Lord Su, you don't have to worry too much. Although the Black Wind Demon King was captured by me today, he is the demon king of the demon clan after all. If he is killed directly, it will inevitably cause greater conflict between the demon clan and the human race. After my "ideological education", he promised me that he would never come to the human territory to make trouble again, so I let him go." Lin Han smiled faintly and explained.
