The Emperor Reigns Them All - Chapter 487
Chapter 487 Want to See the Sea
Since entering the territory of the demon clan, Li Ye felt that he had awakened a special skill. Because of this skill, there were probably two kinds of female cultivators here, those who liked him, and those who liked him very much.
In fact, Li Ye was familiar with the female demons. When an ignorant girl saw her handsome idol, she would act like that. He had seen that too much on the earth. But Li Ye didn’t expect that even the male demons began to like him now.
In his two lives, he had countless confidantes. He walked all over the world with dignity and honor and hated all kinds of unhealthy tendencies, so this experience left him speechless. He even felt a little excited.
Li Ye was never superstitious, but now, he felt a little regret that he didn’t have divination before the action this time. Since he entered the fierce beasts’ nest, he was so dazed by one encounter after another that he almost threw up.
Li Ye pushed the White Wolf away and gnashed his teeth. His eyes were as cold as frost. “Get out!”
The White Wolf flicked the dust that didn’t exist on his robe. He looked serious and righteous. He asked, “Why did you refuse me? Am I not beautiful enough?” Then he turned to look at Hong Xiu and asked seriously, “Who is more beautiful, Master Xu in the north of the city or I?”
“Hehe, you’re more beautiful. How could Master Xu be better than you?”
Hong Xiu was extremely embarrassed. “Let’s get down to business. Master White Wolf, we have a task here this time. Can you keep us safe?”
“It’s a piece of cake.” The White Wolf raised his chin proudly and instantly restored his mighty, noble demeanor. “I don’t dare to say anything else, but in the beast tide, no one has more prestige than me. If I ask them to go east, they will never dare to go west…”
Li Ye snorted. “They can go north or go south.”
“That’s impossible!” Master White Wolf glanced at Li Ye and said earnestly, “Young man, don’t argue with me.”
Li Ye said disdainfully, “If you really have prestige in the beast tide and can completely control the beast tide, why are you in the group of wolves now? You should have commanded the action of the beast tide in the center of the campsite.”
“Young man! You should respect the senior!” Master White Wolf’s face was filled with indignation. However, he sighed, looking sorrowful, as he said in a melancholic tone, “Actually, you’re right. The cultivators in the center of the campsite are the true Big Shots.”
Speaking of this, he gnashed his teeth again and was extremely resentful. “These bastards, I have a blood feud with them. Sooner or later, I’ll drink up their blood for seven days and seven nights!”
Li Ye felt that the White Wolf’s character was very unstable and that his mood changed too quickly. He looked different from time to time.
All in all, everyone sat down on the ground among the wolves. Under the cover of several hundred tall wolves, they didn’t have to worry about any trouble under normal circumstances. Moreover, there were demons in the campsite, so even though Li Ye and Hong Xiu returned to the human figures, there was no big problem.
However, to be on the safe side, Wei Weiwu, Qi Potian, and the other cultivators were still in their original figures.
The target of Li Ye and the cultivator’s operation was the central campsite. Now that he heard that the White Wolf could control the fierce beasts, he was not hurried to go deeper. He wanted to figure out the other side’s strength and see if he could help him. Besides, Li Ye was curious about the mysterious White Wolf. Why could he control the fierce beasts? Why would the wolves listen to him?
Ordinary cultivators of the demon clan couldn’t communicate with fierce beasts.
Why could Hong Xiu communicate with the big gray wolf?
Hong Xiu was mysterious, but compared with the White Wolf, her mystery seemed more acceptable.
“Are you going to the center of the campsite? I advise you not to go.” After Hong Xiu told him their intention, the White Wolf looked arrogant, crossing his arms. “There are Great Cultivators there, and it’s not easy to deal with them. Even I, Master White Wolf, can’t act rashly.”
“There are just some fierce beasts in the Real Immortal Realm and a demon in the Real Immortal Realm. It’s easy to deal with them,” said Li Ye calmly. He glanced at the White Wolf. “Aren’t you in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm? Are you afraid of them who are in the Real Immortal Realm? Well, you’re injured.”
The White Wolf immediately became furious, saying, “I’m a big demon. How will I be afraid of them? Even though I’m injured now, I won’t take them seriously!” Then he glanced at Li Ye and snorted. “Well, you’re in the Ground Immortal Realm, so you won’t know that there are cultivators in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm in the center of the campsite.”Updates by Novel Time Z
“Taiyi Real Immortal Realm?” Li Ye muttered, touching his chin. When he came to investigate the campsite, he really didn’t find out any cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. However, it was normal that he couldn’t sense it because of the big gap between their realms.
However, he still squinted at the White Wolf. “In other words, as a cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, you’re as frightened as a mouse at the sight of a cat when you meet the demons in the same realm with you.”
“Shut up! Don’t think that you can be unreasonable just because you are good-looking!” The White Wolf was so angry that his face turned red. When he finally calmed down, he immediately sneered. “Demons? Do you think that those cultivators in the central campsite are the demons who have transformed into human figures? No, they don’t.”
Li Ye sneered. “If they’re not demons, are they immortals?”
As soon as he said this, he was stunned first.
“Well, you realize how serious this is, don’t you? Are you frightened? Humph, young man!” The White Wolf crossed his arms again and snorted. “Yes, I’ve found that the cultivators in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm in the central campsite are the immortals from the Immortal Court!”
Upon hearing this news, the cultivators were all shocked, and Li Jian and the others even looked frightened.
For demons, the Taoist Immortal Court was like a huge mountain pressing on their heads, making them hard to breathe all the time. The other side was not only powerful but also suppressed the import of Spiritual Qi in the demon clan so that the cultivators of the demon clan were inferior to the cultivators in the Immortal Court in terms of the realm and fewer than them in number.
Li Ye kept silent.
The beast tide this time was different from the past. Not only did it break out at the wrong time, but it was also larger than usual. He thought that there was something wrong with it. He came to the campsite of the fierce beasts this time because he wanted to see if there was a chance to figure out the reason.
In Li Ye’s previous prediction, the abnormal outbreak of the beast tide might be the Macaque King playing tricks behind the scenes. But actually, Li Ye also knew that it was unlikely because once the beast tide broke out, a lot of demons would die. The Macaque King didn’t need to be so indifferent to the demons in his territory.
If this matter was exposed, the Macaque King’s prestige would greatly decline, and he could no longer rule the demons under his jurisdiction effectively. What was more, the other six Great Sages would not tolerate him.
As long as the Macaque King still had some sense, he wouldn’t control the beast tide to deal with Li Ye before he was forced into a desperate situation.
Of course, this was all just his guesses. After all, Li Ye didn’t know much about the Macaque King.
But he didn’t expect that there would be cultivators of the Immortal Court in the beast tide!
Li Ye shook his head. “These guys are really everywhere!”
“So your injury?” Miss Hong Xiu asked with concern. While Li Ye was discussing the current situation with Master White Wolf, as a woman, she was more concerned about the physical condition of her “family member”.
Li Ye glanced at Hong Xiu. When she approached the campsite, she felt anxious. When she was on the periphery of the campsite, she sensed a familiar breath. However, human beings and demons were different. Even though Hong Xiu and the White Wolf had a close relationship, like father and daughter, it was too difficult to have this sense without kinship.
What was going on between Hong Xiu and the White Wolf?
This was a very important question, which was related to Li Ye’s evaluation of the White Wolf’s credibility.
The White Wolf’s mouth twitched, but he pretended to be calm and said, “Oh, I fought him, but I lose.”
Li Ye seized the opportunity to disgust the White Wolf because the White Wolf disgusted him as soon as they met. “Oh, you both are in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, but you couldn’t defeat the cultivator of the Immortal Court.”
The White Wolf took a deep breath and stared at Li Ye fiercely. “Which demon can defeat an immortal in the same realm? Since the Immortal Court suppressed the demon clan, all immortals would practice the secret method for dealing with demons. Can you defeat one of them?”
Li Ye chuckled and said, “To tell you the truth, in the same realm, I can kill an immortal as easily as slaughtering a dog.”
The White Wolf was so angry that he showed his fangs. “Young man, don’t be too arrogant!”
A long time later, the White Wolf snorted. “In a word, it’s not easy to deal with the immortals at the campsite. And although I can control the fierce beasts, so can the immortals at the campsite. Now that I’m injured, I can deal with the cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm, but I can’t compete with them. So you’d better not go inside and leave quickly.”
The White Wolf said the last sentence to Hong Xiu.
Hong Xiu looked at Li Ye. It was up to him to decide.
Li Ye pulled Hong Xiu aside. While she was looking at him in confusion, he glanced at the White Wolf. He asked in a low voice, “Can we trust the White Wolf? I mean, what’s your relationship with him?”
Miss Hong Xiu understood Li Ye’s meaning and showed a warm smile, like the spring snow melting under the morning sun.
That was a long story.
…
In a deep and spacious forest, there was a cave built against the mountain. The door of the cave was blocked by trees and weeds. No one knew how long it had been since no one came in or out.
On an autumn morning, the heavy stone door of the cave was opened slowly, and the trees and weeds were divided into two sides like tides. A white-robed demon in the human figure walked out, looking lazy.Updates by Novel Time Z
The demon stretched himself and yawned greatly toward the morning sun. His young eyes were full of vicissitudes. He sighed and said, “I didn’t expect that I would cultivate in seclusion for such a long time. As spring goes and autumn comes, another hundred years have passed…”
He touched the corner of his mouth and restored his cool nature. At this moment, his eyes became as cold as ice. “I haven’t drunk blood for a hundred years and I’m very hungry. I have to drink some fresh blood… Well, if I can find good prey, I’d better eat their flesh as well. I haven’t tasted it for a hundred years. After all, I miss it a little.”
After he glanced down the mountain, he transformed into a white wolf and flew up to the sky.
A little girl with a pink face was carrying a bamboo basket on her back and panting along the winding narrow mountain road. Maybe because the bamboo basket was too big for her, or because the steep mountain road was too hard to walk, the little girl’s round face was already full of sweat.
On many steep dirt roads, she barely climbed up a path by using both her hands and feet.
On her little white hands with less pronounced joints, dense blood beads oozed from her thumbs, but the little girl didn’t pay attention to it. She looked earnest and determined, as if she was born with an optimistic attitude.
At high noon, the little girl found an herb on the roadside. Her eyes lit up and she moved closer excitedly. Squatting in front of the herb, she observed it for a long time, and then she sniffed it. Finally, she took out a tattered medicine book and checked it for a long time. After she confirmed that it was a very precious herb, she smiled happily.
The little girl put down the basket. Before she could dig out the herb, two hairy white legs suddenly appeared on the stone in front of her. The little girl looked up in confusion and saw a giant white wolf standing on the stone and looking at her. She was so scared that she screamed and sat down on the ground.
Fortunately, the white wolf soon transformed into the human figure, so the little girl was not so afraid. However, what the demon said next dashed the little girl’s hope for life.
The white-robed demon looked down at the little girl coldly, and his voice was indifferent and unquestionable. “Little girl, you are the first person I see after a hundred years of seclusion, so I decide to eat you!”
The little girl jumped up. Instead of crying loudly, she was so surprised that her face turned red. She raised her head and looked at the demon up and down for a while, like a flexible rabbit. Her obsidian-like big eyes were full of innocence and curiosity. “Are you a demon? I’ve never seen a demon in my life! Can you use techniques? Can you fly in the sky or drill into the ground? Can you spit fire from your mouth? Can your hands light up? You’re a demon wolf, so can you howl like a wolf?”
The demon was speechless, but his expression was still indifferent. “Tell me your wish.”
“Wish?” The little red-faced girl looked very doubtful.
The demon proudly said, “I rarely eat human beings. Every time I eat a human being, I have a rule. You’ll become my food, and in exchange, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
The little girl pondered for a moment. “Any wish is okay?”
The demon raised his chin and snorted. “Of course. As a big demon and a master in the Real Immortal Realm, not many things can baffle me. Just tell me your wish.”
“I want…” The little girl bit her finger. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She looked excited. “Well, I want to see the sea! Take me to see the sea!”
“The sea…” The demon was deep in thought. “The sea is hundreds of kilometers away. This little girl is just a weak mortal. It will be a problem to fly with her, so I can’t fly too long or too fast in a day. If we fly for half a day and walk for the other half, how long will it take?”
The little girl seemed to be aware of the demon’s hesitation. She thought for a moment and suddenly rolled up her sleeve, revealing her little white arm with baby fat. Looking at him, she said in a childish voice, “If you are too hungry, you can eat my arm first.”
The demon didn’t know what to say.
He turned around and left. “In that case, let’s go.”
The little girl cheered joyfully. She carried the bamboo basket on her back again and caught up with the demon.
