"No one will help you achieve your ambitions, but the old cow will send you to heaven. Go!"
The Bull Demon King revealed his true form and gored to death the two royal priests who were besieging him. With a kick of his horns, the two men shed blood and their bodies were completely destroyed.
As for the Taoist Pingtian and the King of Xiliang Xu Kaipin, they had already dealt with their enemies earlier and slaughtered all the carriages and horses belonging to the Shang royal family.
Xu Yang landed in front of Xu Kaipin.
Xu Kaipin and Heping Tiandao quickly saluted Xu Yang and said:
"Greetings, Master Dongying!"
They were very shocked. Although they had heard about many deeds of Xu Yang, they really didn't expect that a group of Mahayana realm masters, including the so-called person from the upper realm, would be like crying chicks in front of him. They had no power to fight back at all and behaved extremely aggressively, as if they could sweep away everything!
The Bull Demon King changed back to human form, licked his face, walked up to Xu Yang, and said with a somewhat flattering look:
"You are the master of my niece Dongying. I often hear my niece praising you, saying that you are an extremely good master..."
"After meeting you today, I realized that hearing about you is worse than seeing you in person. In my heart, you are simply the most extraordinary man in the world. I wonder if I have the opportunity to..."
Taoist Ping Tian knew what the dead cow wanted to do, it just wanted to become sworn brothers, but that also depended on whether the other party was willing. Obviously, the other party had no such intention, so he interrupted:
"If you don't have anything to say, just get out of here!"
The Bull Demon King stopped talking abruptly and rolled aside obediently, still chattering in front of him: "Old Taoist priest with a bull nose, I will roll away if you tell me to, who do you think you are?"
Ping Tiandao's face turned black in an instant. If Xu Yang hadn't been there, he would really want to chop off the dead cow's head and kick it like a urinal.
Xu Kaipin said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, they are like this every day, they like to quarrel..."
Xu Yang smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's okay, we are all family, Brother Xu, you don't need to be so reserved!"
Xu Kaipin was flattered, but he was the King of Xiliang after all. He had been in power for a long time and had cultivated his energy well, so he looked quite relaxed and said, "Hahaha, then I will shamelessly call you Brother Xu!"
The Bull Demon King, who had just rolled aside, came back and said cautiously and expectantly: "I heard that you are not yet forty. Well, my age in the demon clan, ahem..."
"Brother Niu."
Xu Yang understood what he meant. They were all family, so he didn't worry about seniority or anything like that. After all, according to Xu Kaipin's ranking, he could indeed call the Bull Demon King Second Brother Niu. Besides, Second Brother Niu was really loyal. This friendship alone was much stronger than that of some human beings.
"Well, then... then what about this poor Taoist?"
Taoist Pingtian felt as if he had been assimilated by the Bull Demon King, and his voice became hesitant, as if he found it difficult to speak about it.
"What do you mean by 'you'? You are an old man with a big nose. You haven't even sworn brotherhood with us brothers, but you still want to take advantage of us brothers?"
The Bull Demon King stared with his bull eyes, speaking in a timid yet tough manner.
"You know shit. I just haven't sworn brotherhood with you, but I have sworn brotherhood with Brother Xu for a long time!"
Taoist Pingtian cursed angrily.
The Bull Demon King was stunned when he heard this. He tilted his head and looked at Xu Kaipin, as if asking, "Brother, is this true?"
Xu Kaipin smiled and said, "Don't tease Lao Niu. He is a straightforward person. Although we haven't sworn brotherhood, I have already regarded Taoist Pingtian as a close friend!"
The Bull Demon King glared at the Taoist Master Ping Tian fiercely and said, "You old Taoist master with an ox nose, you actually lied to me again. I... forget it, I won't bother with you anymore!"
Originally, he wanted to say that he would never let this old Taoist priest off the hook, but then he changed his mind and realized that this old Taoist priest's methods were unpredictable and even if there were ten thousand of him, they would not be his match, so he changed his mind in the end.
Taoist Pingtian just glared back at the Bull Demon King and didn't pay much attention to him. This dead bull was like that, saying a few mean words from time to time. If he was really angry, then he would lose.
"Then I will follow Brother Xu's example and call you Fellow Daoist Pingtian!"
Xu Yang looked at the Taoist Pingtian, expressed his goodwill, and said:
"I have seen that Fellow Daoist Pingtian's Daoism is profound. I hope that one day I can have the opportunity to sit down and discuss Daoism with Fellow Daoist Pingtian!"
To be honest, the first time he saw Taoist Pingtian, he was attracted by the ancient art that Taoist Pingtian practiced, but the two of them were not in a hostile relationship, and he could not deal with Taoist Pingtian like he dealt with those ancient freaks. What's more, Taoist Pingtian risked offending the royal family of the Shang Dynasty to come to rescue his disciple and his family. As his master, he could not repay this life-saving grace with evil, so he proposed to discuss the Taoism. If Taoist Pingtian was willing to discuss the Taoism with him, he would certainly not hide anything, anyway, Taoist Pingtian would never suffer any loss. Of course, if he was unwilling, he would not force it. After all, it was just a mysterious ancient art. For him, it was just icing on the cake.
Who would have thought that when Taoist Pingtian heard this, he was so excited that he said:
"Friend Xu is so sincere in his invitation, so I will certainly agree. It is better to start discussing the Dao now than to wait for a better day!"
The reason why Taoist Pingtian agreed so readily was because he had heard of Xu Yang's deeds in Baidi City and knew that Xu Yang was sincere in discussing Taoism and would not keep anything to himself. If he really discussed Taoism with him, all he would give up was an ancient technique, but what he would get was endless treasures. In short, if he treated it as a transaction, he would definitely make money and not lose anything.
Xu Kaipin and Niu Mowang also wanted to discuss the Dao with Xu Yang. After all, although they were both in the Mahayana realm, their combat power was simply horrible compared to Xu Yang. They looked at Xu Yang eagerly.
"Brother Xu, Brother Niu, both of you are welcome to discuss the Dao, but not now, because I still have some unresolved issues!"
Xu Yang looked towards the direction of the capital of Dashang and said with a smile.
Xu Kaipin, Bull Demon King, and Taoist Pingtian all understood Xu Yang's meaning and spoke up:
"I was careless for a moment. How about this? I will go to the capital with Brother Xu to seek an explanation!"
“I want to go too!”
"I have never set foot in the capital of Dashang in my life, and I have not seen whether the capital is as prosperous as the legend says!"
"That's not necessary. Brother Xu, Brother Niu, and Fellow Daoist Pingtian, you can take your men back to Xiliang. I will go to the Great Shang Imperial City alone, and that will be enough!"
