Demon Pu even began to calculate that as soon as Gu Qingfeng forcibly entered the Blood Slaughter Realm, he would immediately kill Gu Shaoshang!
But he didn’t dare, fearing that it might provoke Gu Qingfeng.
It was just like the hostage-taking bandits in TV dramas, acting as if they were eager to kill, but in reality, they were more afraid of the hostage’s death than anyone else, because once the hostage died, they would die too.
Gu Qingfeng’s steps were tied to the hearts of everyone present, as the fate of the Gu family rested entirely on his next move.
Suddenly, Gu Qingfeng’s footsteps stopped right before the boundary of the Blood Slaughter Realm, pausing for one second, two seconds...
He hesitated and did not enter.
Seeing this, Demon Pu felt a wave of relief. Indeed! He truly cared about his family!
The Gu family also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this unknown ancestor still cared about his descendants. His earlier indifference must have been a ploy to deceive the demons.
However, only Gu Qingfeng himself knew why he had stopped before the boundary of the Blood Slaughter Realm.
Because he couldn’t enter!
The Blood Slaughter Realm was a peak Dragon Transformation-level Yin Domain, its strength unimaginable. It was Demon Pu’s personal domain.
Now that Demon Pu had barred entry, the only way in was to force one’s way in, which meant breaking the Yin Domain.
The problem was, Gu Qingfeng’s current strength was only equivalent to the early stage of Dragon Transformation, far from being able to break a peak Dragon Transformation-level Yin Domain.
Even with his Truth-Seeking Eyes, it was impossible. A Yin Domain was different from an array. Strictly speaking, a Yin Domain was a realm that contained its own rules. The Truth-Seeking Eyes could only see through the hidden rules within the Yin Domain, but breaking it still required raw power.
This was awkward.
He had just been revered as a god, but now, as a “god,” he couldn’t even break through a Yin Domain and was directly blocked outside. Was this going to be a public embarrassment?
Seeing Gu Qingfeng standing there hesitating, Demon Pu thought he was deliberating and quickly said, “Great Deity, the conflict between us is just a minor misunderstanding. There’s no need for a life-and-death battle. If you are willing to spare me, I am ready to offer all my possessions as an apology.”
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes lit up. Demon Pu had kindly given him a way out.
But he had to think of a way to make this act flawless, lest others think that this “god” was too greedy for wealth.
And his disguise must not be exposed!
Today was truly a heaven-sent opportunity. Who would have thought that, with Demon Pu’s cooperation, he would coincidentally become a god? The identity of a god was the greatest treasure of all—a license to roam the world unhindered!
Although his current strength was formidable, being at the early stage of Dragon Transformation still didn’t make him invincible. There were still some who could kill him. But with the disguise of a god, who in the world would dare to challenge him?
In the future, all he had to do was proclaim to the world that Gu Qingfeng, the Dark-rank Demon Eliminator of the Wutong Prefecture Demon Suppression Bureau, was the disciple of a god. Wouldn’t that allow him to walk the world with impunity?
Gu Qingfeng’s mind raced, and he quickly formulated a plan to maximize his gains.
After pretending to ponder for a moment, he finally spoke, “Very well, for the sake of my family, I will spare you today.”
Demon Pu’s face immediately lit up with joy, secretly congratulating himself for betting correctly. Coming to the Gu family had been the right decision.
The Gu family members were also deeply moved. See? The god was willing to compromise for their sake.
“But...”
Gu Qingfeng’s single word made Demon Pu’s heart leap into his throat.
“You must swear before me that from now on, you will never harm the people of the world or slaughter innocent humans. Otherwise, no matter where you flee, I will hunt you down and tear you to pieces!”
Gu Qingfeng’s words were filled with righteous authority, leaving everyone present in awe. He had successfully painted himself as a god who cared deeply for the world and its people.
This statement set the tone for everyone’s perception.
I pursued Demon Pu to protect the world, and now, for the sake of my family’s lives, I have no choice but to let him go. But I must force him to swear an oath not to harm humans.
In this way, the lofty image of a god who loved the world was vividly portrayed!
Moreover, with such a positive image, it would undoubtedly be much easier for him to move through the world as the disciple of a god, far better than being known as a malevolent deity.
Hearing Gu Qingfeng’s words, Demon Pu breathed a sigh of relief. As a plant spirit, he wasn’t as bloodthirsty as beasts. This demand wasn’t too harsh, and what was a mere oath?
Back when he served the Blood Demon, he had sworn countless oaths. And in the end, guess what happened?
The Blood Demon died.
So, Demon Pu had no psychological burden when it came to swearing oaths. All he wanted was to survive this ordeal.
“Great Deity, are you serious?” Demon Pu asked, still somewhat uneasy.
After all, he knew Gu Qingfeng too well. This man had no bottom line, and Demon Pu feared he might go back on his word.
“A god does not jest.”
Gu Qingfeng, now fully immersed in his role as a god, spoke with calm authority.
By now, more and more powerful figures had gathered at the Gu family’s location. Almost all the top experts from the capital had rushed to the scene.
Even the Imperial Preceptor, renowned as the strongest human at the peak of Dragon Transformation, had arrived.
However, with a god present, no one dared to act recklessly.
They weren’t without doubts about Gu Qingfeng’s identity, but the problem was that no one could see through his true strength.
He emitted no aura. If not for the fact that they could see him with their eyes, they wouldn’t even be able to sense his presence. Add to that the fact that a peak Dragon Transformation-level demon kept addressing him as “Great Deity,” who would dare to claim that Gu Qingfeng wasn’t a god?
If he weren’t a god, how could the world’s strongest experts fail to see through his strength?
If he weren’t a god, why would a peak Dragon Transformation-level demon offer all his possessions just to survive?
After much hesitation, Demon Pu felt slightly reassured by the presence of so many powerful figures. He reasoned that a god, of all beings, would care about face and wouldn’t go back on his word in front of so many people.
Besides, at this point, he had no choice but to trust Gu Qingfeng.
And so, he began to swear the oath.
“Very well. Today, I, Demon Pu, swear before the Great Deity that from this day forward, I will never harm the people of the world or slaughter innocent humans. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning, my soul scattered, and my body destroyed!”
As Demon Pu finished his oath, he was shocked to discover that an invisible oath thread, visible only to him, had materialized out of thin air and penetrated his body and soul.
What’s going on!? Is this the Demon Blood Oath!?
As a former bearer of the Demon Blood Oath, Demon Pu knew exactly what this meant.
But why? Why did a casually spoken oath turn into a Demon Blood Oath?
Demon Pu’s gaze followed the oath thread, and to his horror, he discovered that the other end of the thread was connected to... Gu Qingfeng!
How is this possible!
Demon Pu’s face instantly changed, and he was filled with overwhelming dread!
Why is the source of the oath thread him!?
Could it be...
Demon Pu didn’t dare to think further. He felt as if he had stumbled upon some earth-shattering secret, and a chill ran down his spine, as if he had been plunged into an icy abyss.
He’s not a god!
He’s something even more powerful and mysterious than a god!!
He’s an Outer Realm Demon!!!
As soon as this thought emerged, Demon Pu felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen, and even his soul began to tremble.
In that moment, he realized many things.
No wonder the previous Demon Blood Oath had failed. It wasn’t due to age or disrepair—it was because Gu Qingfeng was the Outer Realm Demon!
After all, who would set a trap for themselves?
No wonder he made me swear the oath. He wanted to use the oath thread to track my location at all times!
Since he’s an Outer Realm Demon, that means the Gu family members aren’t truly his kin. So, he didn’t spare me out of concern for his family.
What is his true goal!?
What does he want from me!?
What value do I hold that he would scheme against me!?
