Chapter 511 You’re Wrong

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The village girl who was washing clothes beside the river seemed only to be 16 or 17. She looked pretty and seemed to have a mild temperament. But that was all. She was not exactly a beauty.

But the way she washed the clothes was very alluring. Her butt was not plump but it looked very bouncy. The skin under her rolled-up sleeves was smooth and milk-white. She would wipe the sweat from her forehead from time to time and they looked like dewdrops that were about to fall.

She was so focused on her work that she did not notice the evil claw hidden in a nearby bush, which was discreetly approaching her.

But the claw did not pull the girl underwater. Li Ye did not do anything. Actually, there was still some distance between him and the village girl. The claw just gently stroked the back of the girl’s hand.

The girl was startled. She slumped to the ground, trembling in fear. Then she looked at the reeds with terrified eyes. She almost fainted when she saw a giant serpent among the reeds.

But how could a serpent have claws?

If she was a little more knowledgeable, she would have known that this was a flood dragon, which had the head of a tiger and the body of a serpent.

But she did not know this. She screamed and stumbled away. Li Ye was afraid that she would get hurt if she fell on the rocks.

Li Ye descended beside the bush. Then he squatted and sighed, “The last time when I was in Lingyun Canyon, I was told that you like touching girls’ hands to assure yourself that you are still alive. I thought you only want to look like a master. I did not expect you to be a true lecher.”

The creature in the bush was none other than Flood Dragon Demon King, who had shrank his body. This old demon stared at the girl’s fading figure, the obsession plain in his eyes. Xiao Bing believed that the flood dragon was still thinking about the girl’s hand.

When he heard Li Ye’s voice, Flood Dragon Demon King came to himself. He cleared his throat and did not seem to be ashamed at all. Instead, he tried to justify his action by saying, “I have lived for thousands of years. Why would I lie? What I said is true… How smooth her hand is. I have traveled to many rivers and have seen many people and touched many girls’ hands. But this girl’s hand is one of the best I have ever seen. Her fingers are slender and the back of her hand is plump, soft and warm. It is rare in this world!”

Li Ye was speechless when he encountered this creature’s nonsense.

He said heatedly, “The village men will be here with rakes if you don’t leave now.”

The Flood Dragon Demon King laughed, “I have been through this many times and I know how to deal with this. Don’t worry. They won’t be that fast. But I have to tell you something before that. I assume you know that I am not here merely to touch the girl’s hand?”

Li Ye nodded, “You have a message for me?”

“I thought you would say I was here for the sole purpose of delivering a message for you. You are wrong if you think that. I am here mainly for the girl’s hand and I took this opportunity to give you the message.” Flood Dragon Demon King guffawed like a child.

Flood Dragon Demon King reminded Li Ye of the days when he was studying in school back on earth.

His physics teacher was equally as lustful as this creature. Once Li Ye and his classmate went into the teacher’s office and saw that the old and bold man was rubbing a girl’s hand. “This is friction.”

Though his physics teacher tried to appear very serious, the lechery in his eyes was very obvious. Li Ye was shocked then.

Then Flood Dragon Demon King talked about the real matter, “The message is that there are many places in the demon clan’s territory that have an abnormal fluctuation of Spiritual Qi. At first, we thought it was due to some powerful being who was having a breakthrough. So we did not care too much about it. But then there were so many Immortals found in Blackstone Mountain. We deemed this to be unnatural. Roc Demon King is already on his way to investigate.”

Li Ye said casually, “It is not my problem. You need me, a cultivator of Ground Immortal Realm, to lead the battle? I find it hard to believe it if you said I am a crucial part of your plan. You guys are the seven sages.”

“No, you play the most crucial part!” Flood Dragon Demon King sounded very serious.

He straightened his body and told Li Ye everything about the Great Formation of Sky Stars and the Chaos Clock. “Every talent of the demon clan went to the Seven Sages Mountain, but none of them were able to undo the seal made by the Immortal Court. You are a human. We believe you can do it.”

Li Ye did not believe Flood Dragon Demon King’s words, “All of them failed. Why do you believe a human can do that?”

“Because this was the way Founder Kunpeng and the demon kings left to us. We need it to return to the Immortal court.”

Flood Dragon Demon King explained patiently, “Durning the battle between the liches and the demons, the Great Formation of Sky Stars and the Chaos Clock were damaged. The humans were afraid of these two weapons. So they wanted to claim them when they defeated the powerful beings of our clan. But then they found that they could not use them without the demon power or destroy it. Finally, they had to seal it. Founder Kunpeng tried really hard to bring them back. He was seriously injured because of that.”

Li Ye said hotly, “So you think I can unseal it only because I am also a human cultivator? It does not make any sense.”

Flood Dragon Demon King continued, “Before his death, Founder Kunpeng predicted that the demon clan has to go across the human world if we want to return to the Immortal Court. So they created Lingyun Canyon to connect the two worlds. But he was wounded and so preoccupied with setting the formation that he did not have enough time to tell us everything. So I figured it out a short time ago. Think about it. Demons and humans must work together to achieve something great. Isn’t it the same with unsealing the Great Formation of Sky Stars and the Chaos Clock? It is possible and it might be god’s will.”

Li Ye mocked, “Might?”

Flood Dragon Demon King sighed, “We are not that sure about it. But it will not hurt if you give it a try. You came back to ask for more men. But if you help us to unseal the weapons, you can bring any of us to go to the mortal world with you. The power you will get is as powerful as that of thousands of cultivators. Doesn’t it sound perfect?”

Li Ye pondered and thought that there was a price for everything. For the restoration of the demon clan’s power, it did seem risky for him to take a trip to the Seven Sages Mountain.

Li Ye asked, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Flood Dragon Demon King said, “We were worried that you might be afraid! If you knew it is a tough task from the beginning, you might just walk away.”

It was possible and then Li Ye realized something. “So the reason why you did not help me when Macaque King went against me was because you wanted to test my temperament?”

“We needed to confirm, not to test. And it was not us who wanted that test. After all, we all supported the plan for you to go to the Seven Sages Mountain. It was only Macaque King and Lion Camel King, who did not agree.”

Li Ye sneered, “I don’t know why Macaque King needs to test me. I only know that he keeps sending demons to kill me!”

“He can’t kill you because we have been watching over you.” Flood Dragon Demon King said, “So this time when you go to Macaque Mountain, it is better for you to tame him and ask him to give you the key to the formation in Seven Sages Mountain.”

Li Ye’s mouth twitched, “I am only at Ground Immortal Realm and you are asking me to subdue a Daluo Golden Immortal who has lived for thousands of years? Why didn’t you ask me to kill the Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Court?”

”You can achieve anything as long as you have the ambition!” Flood Dragon Demon King said sternly, “We all believe that you can do it.”

Li Ye pondered for a second and said, “I have one condition.”

“Say it.”

Li Ye said, “If I succeed, you must help me deal with Lion Camel King and ask him to give me the Soul-stabilizing Bead.” That item was crucial for Duchess.

“Deal!” Flood Dragon Demon King agreed without any hesitation. “If you can tame Macaque King, Lion Camel King will be helpless. I assume he will not dare to do anything if all the other six sages are there.”

Li Ye nodded. Flood Dragon Demon King was fighting for unification. After all, the possibility to march into the immortal territory was very small unless the demon clan was united as one.

The whole plan was to let Macaque King go against Li Ye, while Flood Dragon Demon King and Roc Demon King would be protecting him secretly. In this way Macaque King would know if Li Ye was capable of bringing hope to the demon clan.

Li Ye had to admit that these elders had wisdom.

“Alright, you can go back now.” Li Ye stood up.

“I traveled a long way to come here. Don’t you think you ought to buy me a drink?” Flood Dragon Demon King sounded like he was one of Li Ye’s best friends.

Li Ye pursed his lips at the direction of the village and said, “They are coming over with rakes. You will be beaten black and blue if you don’t leave now.”

Seeing a bunch of villagers striding over angrily, Flood Dragon Demon King hastily jumped into the water and swam away without any hesitation.

He was at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, yet he fled from a bunch of mortals without any hesitation. It seemed that he was a sensible flood dragon.

Li Ye did not stay either. He did not want to be Flood Dragon Demon King’s scapegoat. He flew away instantly.

All the villagers were angry when they saw Li Ye disappearing in the sky and found no trace of Flood Dragon Demon King. They shouted at the riverside, not seemingly afraid of the cultivators of Immortal Realm at all.

Li Ye returned to the group but did not tell them anything. He was not interested in telling the others about the things Flood Dragon Demon King told him.

Zhenjiang City.

As the biggest city and the capital of the territory of Macaque King, Zhenjiang City’s grandeur was much more impressive than that of Panfeng City. A light shone brightly on the top of one of the skyscrapers. One could see this shining jewel hundreds of miles away. And underneath the building, there were formations providing it with Spiritual Qi to make sure its light would never fade.

For many cultivators of the demon clan, this was the landmark of Zhenjiang City.

The traveler flow of this city was also much larger than that of Panfeng City. So this was a very busy city.

But unlike the bustling streets, City Lord’s Mansion was gloomy as if it was about to rain. The servants and the cultivators were all very cautious when they walked about, not daring to make any noise that might bring a storm on their heads.

Though there were no dark clouds, the compression of a cultivator of Golden Immortal Realm was real. It was because of the City Lord, Zhao Bofu. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Zhao Batian, who was kneeling on the ground.

The force that was sent to destroy the fierce beasts collapsed. None of the three cultivators of Taiyi Real Immortal survived. Sun Bofu also suffered a great loss. But that was not the main reason for his anger.

For Sun Bofu, he could have as many as cultivators as he liked, as long as he was still the Lord of this city. He would never be worried whether he could keep hiring powerful cultivators. Besides, their failure at Blackstone Mountain was because of the Immortals.

Though many of their cultivators died, they now knew that the Immortals were behind the beasts. It was a great contribution to the Macaque King or even the whole demon clan. No one would say that Sun Bofu was useless.

What really drove him mad was what Zhao Batian said after he knew what caused Zhao Dengke’s death.

Zhao Bofu blazed, “You are at Ground Immortal Realm and you lost all your magic treasures. Besides, Zhao Dengke was killed by the Immortals. And that lad took all the credit. Now you are still telling me not to make things difficult for him?”

“Are you a half-wit? I can’t believe my son is so scared of a cultivator who is merely at Ground Immortal Realm!”

Zhao Batian, who was kneeling on the ground, opened his mouth and tried to say something. But Zhao Bofu interrupted, “It is a shame. I have never been insulted like this before. Never!”

“I have lived a reputable life and yet I have such a useless son! You can lose all your magic treasures, your credits and get beaten black and blue. But you should never be afraid of your enemy! A coward is not worthy of being my son!”

Zhao Bofu did not care about his son’s failure to assassinate Li Ye. Macaque King would surely confront him if his son had not succeeded. However, it was nothing, compared with having this unfilial son.

“Father, you are wrong!” Zhao Batian suddenly raised his head and bellowed.
