Returning to Valmont's perspective, Lü Dongbin glanced thoughtfully at Valmont and the others.
Whether what they say is true or false.
There is one thing that Lü Dongbin is certain of.
That is, this person named Bai Zhi is definitely much more humane than the eight brutal demons.
As an immortal, he had seen too many things and people to easily discern the truthfulness in a person's words.
At least from Valon's words, it can be seen that the other party is willing to support Bai Zhi.
Although a brutal personality combined with strength can also have the effect of gaining support.
But people's instinctive reactions are completely different.
Thinking of this, he smiled.
"I will go and investigate the things you mentioned in person."
"Alright, alright, please feel free to investigate. Our Miss Bai Zhi's reputation is beyond reproach."
Valon's eyes lit up. As long as they didn't seal people away without saying a word, there was still room for maneuver.
The other members of the Black Hand gang also breathed a sigh of relief and became jubilant.
At least for now, they've kept their house, car, and money safe.
"We are willing to show you the way to Miss Baizhi's city. Is that alright with you?"
Valon took the initiative to extend the invitation.
"also may."
Lü Dongbin nodded. Bai Zhi was shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible for him to predict her exact location. It would be good if someone could lead the way.
He then beckoned, and the ropes binding the Black Hand gang members immediately fell to the ground.
"Do you need my help?"
Seeing the expression on Bai Zhi's face after she hung up the phone, Anubis asked in a calm tone.
Bai Zhi shook her head. "No need for now. I'll have someone gather information and pinpoint the location."
"Before that, I need to find other demons to discuss various matters."
Although she heard the news that Lü Dongbin had been resurrected by the rat talisman, Bai Zhi was not particularly worried.
Even in the original work, this person was the one who sealed the Holy Lord, and could be considered the Holy Lord's super nemesis.
Unfortunately, Bai Zhi is not a demon, so many spells that work against demons are ineffective against her.
Besides, the other party isn't some stubborn NPC. As long as I'm eloquent enough, I might be able to win them over to my side.
After all, as an immortal, and the famous Lu Zu at that, he shouldn't be so unreasonable, right?
However, if someone really acts unreasonably, Bai Zhi is not afraid, because her divine lord will teach them a lesson.
"If you have your own decision, I won't say anything more."
Anubis nodded slightly.
333 Holy Lord: This must be my daughter!
"Isn't one percent of the treasure too much? It's enough for a whole gold bowl."
Seeing the Shadow Legion holding up a golden bowl, the Holy Lord began to worry. He felt that he had really shed a lot of blood.
When has this noble dragon ever felt so humiliated?
He actually condescended to consider this as a mere mortal.
"You're being a bit too stingy. You should at least give me a chest of gold."
A sound reached the ears of the Holy Lord.
At the same time, a strange feeling filled his heart.
"who!"
Bai Zhi slowly pushed open the door where the statue of the Holy Lord was kept, and looked curiously at the Holy Lord hanging on the wall.
She found it rather strange, since the Holy Lord, whether in his soul state or in this disc-like state, clearly resembled an Eastern dragon.
How come once it reverts to its original form, it becomes that strange, bizarre appearance that combines elements of East and West?
"you....."
The Holy Lord's words faltered; it sounded too much like him.
It's so similar, that resonance of dragon blood.
Although they look completely different, the Holy Lord felt that the other person was a perfect replica of himself.
"What am I?"
Bai Zhi looked at the Holy Lord with great interest and asked.
"You...are you really my daughter?!"
After a long pause, the Holy Lord finally uttered those words.
"what?"
"...I don't know, but I do have no father or mother, and I was born from an egg."
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, but did not deny it. Instead, she gave an ambiguous answer.
Holy Lord: !!
He understood, he understood completely. This must be his daughter, no doubt about it!
He is the last dragon in the world. Even if he is sealed in hell, and the remaining fire demon energy creates another demon, it will not be a dragon.
Because he's the only Dragonborn left.
However, he can spit out dragon eggs and create new dragonborn.
Therefore, Angelica dahurica must be his offspring created in the future!
Thinking about this, if he weren't a statue now, he would definitely be moved to tears.
"Ah, my good daughter, you have truly inherited my dragon bloodline. Look at these dragon horns, how handsome they are! And this lovely face, you are truly worthy of being my daughter."
“You must have suffered a lot over the years without me around.”
The Holy Lord's tone suddenly softened, and he began to inquire about Bai Zhi's well-being.
.......
Bai Zhi fell silent; the Holy Lord's sudden enthusiasm was hard for her to bear.
It's impossible for him to actually call the Holy Lord "Daddy."
She simply couldn't do it.
However, seeing Bai Zhi remain silent, the Holy Lord misunderstood.
He felt that Bai Zhi must have suffered a lot in this society to have grown up alone and to have such a different appearance from humans.
I've been a completely inadequate father.
It is said that children should be raised from a young age, otherwise they will not be close to their parents.
But not only did he not take care of the child himself, he also caused the other person a lot of suffering.
“Daughter, don’t blame your father for not taking care of you. I really had no other choice.”
"Because of the seal of the immortal of yesteryear, I am still in this form. But it doesn't matter. From now on, I will teach you a lesson."
"Once I get the talisman back, I will teach you all my wisdom, and you will surely surpass me."
After hesitating for a long time, the Holy Lord cautiously spoke to Bai Zhi.
"No need. My past didn't include you, and my future doesn't have to either."
Bai Zhi put on a cold expression, "I came here just to see what kind of guy you are now."
"However, I will inherit your ideas and rule this world. You can stay here forever."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord immediately became anxious.
Oh no, my daughter not only doesn't acknowledge me as her father, but she also seems to hate me.
How should we deal with this?
Why did I only think about studying magic back then, and not study this aspect of things?
The Holy Lord just wanted to slap himself hard.
And once I've decided to get out of this predicament, I'll take the time to gather some parenting advice.
"My dear daughter, I was sorry for what I did before, but I promise I won't do it again."
After careful consideration, the Holy Lord spoke.
"Who knows? Everyone knows you're a noble dragon and a demon wizard."
"Moreover, isn't your most frequently uttered phrase—'As everyone knows, my Holy Lord does not keep his promises'?"
"I find it hard to believe you when you act like this."
Bai Zhi pursed her lips and pretended to be very disbelieving as she spoke to the Holy Lord.
Hearing this, the Holy Lord felt even more distressed.
His daughter knows him so well, yet he knows nothing about her.
"My daughter, you know I'm not only a dragon, but also a demon, and demons don't keep their promises..."
The Holy Lord suddenly realized he couldn't continue, because he found that he was only making things worse by trying to explain further.
"The devil doesn't keep his word, does he? Humph, I knew it, he'll never change."
"Fine, you can just stay here like this from now on."
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she turned and left.
"Daughter, don't go!!"
The Holy Lord let out a howl.
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, feigning hesitation.
This immediately rekindled the Holy Lord's hope, and he quickly said:
"My dear daughter, actually I've been sealed away for too long, so my brain is a bit rusty and I can't even speak properly anymore."
"My dear daughter, whatever you want, I will definitely do it for you. We are family, and I would never lie to you."
"Really?"
Bai Zhi turned around and asked the Holy Lord with a suspicious look on her face.
"It's true, my Holy Lord never lies!"
Seeing Bai Zhi turn around, the Holy Lord became excited. He felt that he could grant any request now.
He was willing to give Bai Zhi all his fire demon energy.
"Then let me meet the other demons."
Bai Zhi's lips curled up slightly as she stated her conditions.
"See them? Why?"
"You're not even willing to fulfill the first request...?"
Bai Zhi's tone was tinged with disappointment.
“Daughter, those guys are all very cunning and ugly. You are so cute and innocent. What if you get corrupted by them?”
"As your father, I have a responsibility to you."
The Holy Lord spoke earnestly and patiently.
What he was actually afraid of was that his brother would set his sights on Bai Zhi.
