Chapter 76 The Demon King's Wrath
Zhang Lingyue and her group, who were escorting the remaining five Golden Core descendants, had been living in constant fear and unease ever since they returned to Tianliu City.
They dared not report the news of the enemy's infiltration into the inner city to the Golden Core cultivators in charge of guarding the city, for fear that they would report the situation to the Golden Core cultivators of each family, and they would inevitably be punished.
All we can do now is pray that Wang Xu and his group will return safely.
Fortunately, the rest of them returned three days later. Although none of them had perished, their faces were grim.
Zhang Lingyue looked at her brother and quickly leaned closer to ask cautiously:
"Brother, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
"Indeed...something happened."
Zhang Lingxiao looked bitter. He dared not say it outright, but could only secretly transmit his voice:
"This isn't just a big deal, it's a disaster! It's like the sky has been blown up!"
"ah!?"
The woman looked incredulous, and the others also sensed something was wrong. The Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge of escorting them asked anxiously:
"Senior Brother Wang, what's wrong?"
"Junior Brother Lu..."
Wang Xu dared not respond loudly, and silently cast a spell. Suddenly, a monster corpse appeared before everyone's eyes!
"This is a Blood Fiend Demon Ape... Judging from its size, it must have been a peak fourth-tier demon beast in its previous life."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Lu looked incredulous. The Blood Fiend Demon Ape was one of the best among demonic beasts. Even if the three Foundation Establishment cultivators joined forces, they might not be able to defeat it. Now that it was dead beyond any doubt, it must be that young master surnamed Li who used that fourth-grade top-quality talisman.
Otherwise, there would be absolutely no way to kill it!
"Junior brother is right, this is indeed the Blood Fiend Demon Ape."
Wang Xu glanced at the young man in brocade robes behind him and whispered, "This demonic beast might be one of the offspring of that Blood Fiend Demon King."
"What?"
The crowd looked at the monster's corpse and found it hard to believe that they had killed the offspring of a Golden Core Demon King in one trip.
If it's fake, that's fine. But if it's real, it might trigger a beast tide attacking Tianliu City.
They won't just get a scolding then!
The Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Lu was deathly pale, but managed a weak smile as he asked tremblingly:
"Senior Brother Wang, are you joking with us? How could the Demon King's offspring possibly be near the outer areas..."
"Why should I deceive my junior brother!"
Wang Xu said in a deep voice:
"If he weren't a descendant of a demon prince, how could he possess the Blood Demon King's signature spell, Blood Fiend Transformation!"
At this point, a hint of fear appeared on his face. The Blood Demon Ape clan was already quite large, and when they arrived at the Cloud Dream Pool to pick the spiritual fruit and were preparing to return, they ran into them.
The enemy was furious that the humans had entered their territory and immediately summoned nearby demonic beasts to attack them. Wang Xu and his companions were immediately trapped in a predicament. In addition, after the enemy used the Blood Fiend Transformation, their size was like a small mountain, making it even more difficult for them to escape.
Fortunately, the young master surnamed Li used a top-grade fourth-tier talisman in time, and with the help of everyone attacking together, they managed to kill the opponent.
It is this very point that can lead to both success and failure.
Without this talisman, they would have lost their lives there, but this has caused them enormous trouble.
"It's all that brat's fault!"
Everyone cursed inwardly, but no one dared to show it on their faces.
At this moment, one of the other five Golden Core descendants whispered a suggestion:
"Why don't we report this to the real people and see what they decide?"
"No!"
These words were immediately met with opposition from the young master surnamed Li:
"Besides those present, who knows we went to the outer perimeter? Since no one else saw us, any Foundation Establishment cultivator in the city is a suspect!"
"The Demon King will definitely come to Tianliu City now. If word gets out, it will be very disadvantageous for us and the True People behind us. We should destroy the evidence first!"
"That...that's definitely the case."
Wang Xu's eyes lit up. So what if the Demon King came to Tianliu City? Anyway, the Golden Core cultivators wouldn't let them in to search.
The human and demon races have been fighting for a long time, and countless cultivators have perished in the jaws of demon beasts. What does the death of a demon prince matter?
Even if the Demon Emperor's offspring die, it's the same.
After saying that, he threw out several talismans and burned the monster corpses on the ground to ashes.
Young Master Li nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Zhang Lingyue and the others, threatening them:
"Anyone who speaks of what happened today, I will exterminate their entire clan!"
"Of course, if this matter is resolved, I will personally give another two thousand spirit stones!"
"We understand."
Zhang Lingyue and the others immediately nodded. Even if it wasn't for the spirit stones, they would keep this matter to themselves for the sake of their lives and property.
-----------------
Yunmeng Youtan.
This place was originally a beautiful scenic spot, but because of the great battle between Wang Xu and others, it is now covered with deep ravines.
Not only that, but the fourth-tier spirit tree in the center of the pool was also destroyed in the battle.
"Who, who killed my child!"
At this moment, a large man stood in the air above the dark pool. His upper body was naked, and his body was full of exaggerated muscles. His blood-red hair stood up because of his ferocity.
This burly man was none other than the Blood Demon King.
The day before yesterday, he calculated the days and knew that the spirit tree at Yunmeng Youtan had borne fruit, so he sent his offspring to collect it and take the opportunity to inspect the territory.
Who would have thought that I would suddenly lose contact with him today? I had a bad feeling and, after calculating with my fingers, I realized that he had actually perished!
He initially thought it was his mortal enemy, the White Refining Demon King, who had secretly come to ambush him. However, when he arrived, the Cloud Dream Pool had already been reduced to ruins, and the air was filled with the scent of humans.
"Humans, what audacity!"
The Blood Demon King was surprised that the human race actually dared to venture deep into the inner perimeter. After all, there was an agreement in place, and they had been behaving themselves for the past hundred years. Although many cultivators had secretly come in to seek spiritual treasures, they had never done anything that broke the rules like this.
If the dead beast was not its offspring, then they would turn a blind eye.
But now, there is no room for negotiation.
In his rage, he revealed his true form, which blotted out the sky, and roared at the heavens, causing the nearby low-level demonic beasts to flee in all directions.
Before long, several demon generals came from afar, knelt down before him, and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please accept our condolences."
"It's useless to say these things; let humanity also find some solace."
The demon generals' expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, and one of them couldn't help but ask, "Does the King intend to attack Tianliu City?"
Although they have the upper hand every time a beast tide is launched, that is the result of all the demon beasts in the Wanling Mountain Range combined. Now there are still a few Golden Core cultivators in Tianliu City. What can they do?
Isn't this practically suicide?
"So what? They killed my son, so they have to bleed."
The Blood Demon King was furious, and his Blood Demon Ape clan was inherently tyrannical. If it weren't for preserving the strength of his subordinates, he would have devoured such a question long ago.
The demons knew they could no longer dissuade them, and their hearts were filled with bitterness, but they could only respectfully say:
"As Your Majesty commands, we will immediately return to organize the demons!"
"You have three days!"
After giving his orders to his subordinates, the Blood Demon King suddenly headed towards the territories of other demon kings.
He may be simple-minded, but he's no fool to have become the Demon King.
Going alone would be suicide; he would need to find several demon kings to go with him. Even if they couldn't find the murderer, they would still make the human race pay the price.
"The Evil Tiger has a long-standing grudge against the human race, let's go find him first!"
