As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1736: The 12 Demon Gods’ Recruitment Plan, Lord Dog Long Time No See in Qi Tian City

Whoosh—
Fierce demon energy billowed wildly, laced with savagery, as the horrifying presence of the Black Bull Demon God Venerable seeped out, apparently distorting the surrounding space itself.
On this occasion, his actual body had manifested. Detecting something off, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable chose to hurry there in person, the anxiety in his mind arising from his demon soul's instinct.
He relied on that instinct. Yet, once he reached the yard outside where the Bull Demon dwelled, and spotted the Night Bat Demon God, the worry in his heart dissipated right away.
Enveloped in roiling demon energy, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable displayed just a dark bull's head, eyes glowing crimson, his brows furrowed while staring at the Night Bat Demon God in front of him.
"Night Bat, did something happen?"
"Did that Bull Demon attack you?"
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable couldn't resist inquiring.
Still, the Night Bat Demon God stayed highly deferential, cupping his hands and bowing: "I have been monitoring the Netherworld Ox Demon’s situation at all times and have not detected any abnormalities."
After listening to this, the Black Bull Demon God Venerable's doubts gradually melted away. He cast a look at the Night Bat and, noting that the other was unscathed with no traces of grave wounds, he stopped dwelling on it.
The Night Bat counted as one of his most reliable subordinates. With the Qitian Temple’s legacy on the verge of opening, the Night Bat was essential for scouting and collecting treasures, a mission of utmost importance.
Thanks to the Strange Temple God Divinity’s effects, various demon clans have arisen in the human realm. Up to now, even in nations such as Great Vista and the Da Li Royal Court, plenty of demons have appeared.
Beyond these realms, the demons imitated the Strange Que’s Deceit Demon Cave to form the Ten Thousand Rivers, amassing innumerable fiends. As their ranks swelled, their craving for resources grew ever fiercer.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable offered some encouragement to the Night Bat.
The Night Bat appeared to notice an oddity, and upon bidding farewell, he merged back into the emptiness, leaving behind merely a slender rift like a strand of hair.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable swiveled around and locked eyes with the immensely tall Bull Demon in the yard, whose gaze chilled him coldly.
A dark bull and an adorable bovine stood facing one another, as if peering through the void.
The Black Bull Demon God Venerable gave a faint smile — too bad, he was the genuine article.
But the Bull Demon... merely wore a deceptive disguise.
Rumble—
Dark winds howled and twisted, demon energy churned, as the Black Bull Demon God Venerable pulled back at once, heading straight to the City Lord’s Mansion. Once in the City Lord’s Mansion, he settled down, spreading his awareness across the three gates, pinpointing every human outpost slipping into the city.
With the contest raging on, increasing numbers of mighty figures poured into the metropolis.
Since the demon gods at the three entrances were all at the One Disaster One Tribulation Realm, whereas numerous powerhouses from humanity arriving were at the One Disaster Two Tribulations Realm.
Furthermore, following the earlier demise of the Heavenly Crane Demon God, many demon gods grew cautious, reluctant to clash desperately, dreading a fate similar to the Heavenly Crane Demon God’s demise, which would prove foolish.
In the end, the Qitian Temple God’s resonance was nearing, and as demons, they held a natural edge in connecting with the Qitian Demon Saint’s Temple God resonance.
Should they fight human cultivators and suffer wounds, it might not matter much, but falling and forfeiting the Qitian Temple God resonance, thus missing chances for greater progress, would be utterly shortsighted.
The resonance from a Three Pure Bizarre Temple's temple god delivered massive gains!
Should someone fully claim the Qitian Temple God’s resonance inheritance, they could even gain entry to the Deceit Demon Cave someday and join the All Gods Camp!
Within the yard of Qitian City’s Outer City.
Li Che, donning a Bull Demon mask, observed the Big Black Bull's departure, exhaling a long breath of relief.
Nevertheless, the concealed killing intent in his gaze shone plainly.
From the moment this Big Black Bull began scheming against Xi Xi, aiming to seize her for dispatch to the Strange Que’s Deceit Demon Cave, Li Che had formed a resolve to slay this Big Black Bull.
Ultimately, this figure was a Black Bull Demon God Venerable at the Two Disasters Realm.
The heavenly tribulation in the Two Disasters Realm earns the title Venerable. What defines a Venerable in cultivation? It's the reverence one commands.
How could Li Che stay composed when such a formidable entity targeted his own daughter?
Besides, the Big Black Bull stood for far more than himself—he embodied the vast demon hordes of the Ten Thousand Rivers and the Deceit Demon Cave, a key force in the All Gods Camp!
Li Che let his eyelids lower. Xi Xi’s ties to the Prison Lotus Camp were unavoidable.
Ever since Xi Xi took on the resonance legacy of the Third Prince Temple God, her path linking to the Prison Lotus Camp had been all but sealed.
She had even risen to become the Daughter of Prison Lotus...
Li Che remained unaware of the Daughter of Prison Lotus's importance, her rank, or what it signified inside the Prison Lotus Camp...
Yet, considering how prized she was by the Deceit Demon Cave, the Daughter of Prison Lotus undoubtedly held a remarkable position in the Prison Lotus Camp!
"Fortunately... Xi Xi remains in the human world, beyond the All Gods Camp's reach for now."
Li Che adjusted the Bull Demon mask against his face.
The human world imposed restrictions from the Heaven and Earth Will, a protective barrier that shielded both human cultivators and Xi Xi alike.
Buzz—
A mere thought sufficed to draw him into Mo City Fengdu anew.
Deep within Fengdu.
The massive corpse of a bat sprawled across the uneven terrain of Mo City, battered by relentless ink-black rain that rinsed its form without mercy, as twisted, shadowy blood seeped out steadily.
This blood's hue wasn't natural; the poison had altered it.
A toxin fierce enough to fell even a Demon God of the One Disaster Two Tribulations Realm.
Next to the enormous bat's remains, a slim silhouette lingered, draped in a dark cloak like some scholar, drawing out essence blood and poison from the fallen creature's frame.
