The Emperor Reigns Them All - Chapter 507
Chapter 507 Seeking Justice for Prince An
He glanced at the demon leopard. Now that the battle was over, the demon leopard, You Daxiao and all the others gathered around Li Ye. “The cultivators in this team are very powerful and obviously, they are under your command. I think that they joined the battlefield under your order. This…”
He looked at You Daxiao. “If I am right, you should be the Roc Demon King’s son.”
You Daxiao said, “Yes, I am.”
The demon nodded and looked at Li Ye again. He thought about how he should phrase his words for a moment. “About a hundred masters in the Immortal Realm are willing to listen to you and the Roc Demon King’s son is willing to help you, so I think that your identity should be very unusual.”
Li Ye smiled and said, “It seems that you have a conjecture about my identity. You can just say it directly.”
The demon stayed silent for a moment and admitted it frankly. “To tell you the truth, I am familiar with someone in the Son of God’s team. When I saw him last time, he was in Panfeng City and under the command of the Lord of Panfeng City… So are you Li Ye, Prince An of the Tang Empire?”
When he said the last few words, his tone changed obviously and he looked at Li Ye expectantly.
Li Ye smiled and said, “I am Li Ye!”
The demon took a deep breath and could not hide his shock. Then he bowed again together with all the Great Cultivators behind him. “Greetings, Your Highness Prince An!”
“You don’t have to be so polite,” Li Ye said.
However, the demon did not get up immediately. “It is our honor to fight side by side with you this time. You are so righteous and we admire you very much!”
He said that hurriedly as if he was afraid that Li Ye would not believe him.
Li Ye certainly believed him. He glanced at the cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage. At the sound of the “Greetings, Your Highness Prince An”, it became very noisy. Several thousand eyes focused on Li Ye, obviously with awe and respect.
Some demons who did not know who Prince An was immediately asked the cultivators beside them. After being informed of Li Ye’s identity and deeds, they all looked shocked.
Li Ye no longer hesitated. This was the best time, so he slowly rose to the sky. Facing all the demons, he suddenly became serious and righteous. “I was invited by the Monkey King to discuss the big plan with the Seven Sages in the demon clan. When I passed Liuxi Town, I learned that the beast tide broke out and brought a great disaster to the demons, so I was angry and joined the battle. Thanks to your help, I managed to eliminate the lair of the beast tide. Thanks to all of you for your friendship.”
As he said that, Li Ye bowed to all the demons and cupped his fists.
The demons immediately shouted loudly together, “We were only able to win the battle due to your valiant efforts in such a desperate situation. We are not worthy of your praise!”
Li Ye’s words of courtesy won more compliments. Then he changed the subject. “To tell you the truth, not all the demons welcome my coming to the demon clan to discuss the big plan. Some demons welcomed me on the surface, but they secretly sent masters to assassinate me several times. I could not stand that, so I killed the demon bear, the Lord, in Panfeng City.”
Upon hearing this news, the demons were furious. “Who wanted to kill Prince An? Prince An is a great hero. Whoever dares to kill Prince An, he is my enemy!”
“Right, as long as Prince An tells us that demon’s identity, we will go and avenge you!”
“Prince An has saved my life. Anyone who treats Prince An like that is my enemy!”
Li Ye raised his hand and pressed it down, as a signal for the demons to be quiet. He continued, “Now, I saw the beast tide breaking out, so I wanted to do something for the demon clan so that the demon clan would no longer suffer from it. However, some demons still wanted to assassinate me! I was sad and angry. I spared no effort to fight the immortal in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm just now because I was disappointed and disheartened and wanted to die.”
“However, heaven’s will is unpredictable. I survived from the full blow of the immortal in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. I am moved by your respect, so I am determined to move forward even if thousands of people try to stop me! Now everyone knows that the immortals are controlling the beast tide behind the scene. If we don’t get to the bottom of this, everyone will have difficulty sleeping and eating, and I can’t move forward as well!”
The demons shouted in unison, “Find the culprit who tried to assassinate Prince An. Find the root cause of the beast tide!”Read More chapter on our Novel Time Z
Knowing that he had the demons’ hearts, Li Ye once again became serious and shouted, “I would like to ask you. Would you like to follow me to invite the Macaque King, the Great Sage of the demon clan here, to seek justice for me and find the demon who tried to assassinate me and bring him to justice? At the same time, ask the Macaque King to find the cause of the beast tide and send some demons to chase after the immortals!”
Li Ye thought if he told the truth that the Macaque King played tricks behind the scene and asked the demons to go to Macaque Mountain and deal with the Macaque King, he was afraid that the demons would not think about it properly and accept it. Moreover, Li Ye did not have much evidence.
Therefore, he changed his statement. Anyway, he did not intend to kill the Macaque King after he went to Macaque Mountain. The Macaque King was in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, so it would be useless, even if he used the Sword of heaven to attack him. He wanted the Macaque King to pay the price, of course, by blackmailing his Magic Treasures and cultivators.
But the Macaque King would certainly be unwilling to submit, so Li Ye wanted to go up the mountain with a team not only for strengthening his momentum, but also for his safety.
Upon hearing Li Ye’s words, the demons replied, “We are willing to go to Macaque Mountain with you, Your Highness!”
“Ask the Macaque King to find the culprit behind the assassination and execute him!”
“If the Macaque King does not lend a hand, we will definitely not accept it!”
“We must seek justice for you!”
“…”
Li Ye was satisfied. Seeing the high-spirited demons and wisps of Luck converging toward him, he knew that there would not be any problem. “I am very moved that you respect and support me so much. How about we rest tonight and head off to Macaque Mountain tomorrow?”
“At your command!”
…
Li Ye intended to get even with the Macaque King and let him pay for his behavior, but he did not know that the development of the territory of the demon clan was about to erupt like a volcano.
After more than two hundred immortals were found in Blackstone Mountain, Li Ye had a premonition that the cause of the beast tide was probably related to the Immortal Court. With his shrewdness, he suspected that the fierce beasts were created by the Immortal Court, but he did not have much evidence.Read More chapter on our Novel Time Z
But many people did things not by evidence but by suspicions.
Not only did the cultivators of the demon clan involved in the battle of Blackstone Mountain know the anomaly here, but some Great Powers, who secretly paid attention to Li Ye and protected him, also paid attention to the beast tide and discovered the large-scale traces of the immortals through the battle. They were shocked and had a vague premonition about something.
When Li Ye rested with the demons who had finished clearing the battlefield in front of Blackstone Mountain, two cultivators in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm suddenly appeared outside the quiet Liuxi Town.
They did not enter Liuxi Town, but met by the river outside the town.
“Old flood dragon, what do you think of it?” a giant roc asked. It landed on a big tree by the river and looked at a boat with a black awning on the river.
“It is different from the past. A large number of immortals appeared in the beast tide this time. And it seems that they could completely control the fierce beasts, so I have my suspicions about their relationship with the fierce beasts.” An old flood dragon coiled on the bow of the boat with the black awning, lay motionless. It spoke slowly, but its murderous intent showed.
“There is no doubt about it! If the fierce beasts were not created by them, how could they control the fierce beasts? I always thought that there is something wrong with the beast tide. Every outbreak has no warnings and no purposes, it is just to kill people everywhere. It does not make any sense!” Roc Demon King was not as patient as Flood Dragon Demon King. Obviously, he was very agitated.
He continued, “Even if the fierce beasts were not created by the immortals but only controlled by them, they are already very terrifying. Moreover, compared with the beast tide, I am more concerned about how the immortals entered the territory of the demon clan. And there are so many of them. Are you too old and too dim-sighted to notice that so that many immortals have come through the Lingyun Canyon?”
On the boat with the black awning, Flood Dragon Demon King snorted with dissatisfaction and said, “Why don’t you do it?”
“No way. I can’t stand the loneliness.” Roc Demon King shook his head. “Actually, I know that the immortals can’t get in under your nose. Thus, there is only one possibility. They have another way to enter the territory of the demon clan! This is a big deal!”
Flood Dragon Demon King heaved a heavy sigh. “Big bird, compared to this, the truly pressing matter now is that the immortals, who have never appeared in the beast tide, took part in the beast tide personally this time. What are they up to?”
Roc Demon King rolled his eyes. “So what you meant is that the immortals are up to something big.”
Flood Dragon Demon King said, “I mean, the beast tide is very likely to be more than one! Since the Immortal Court could send immortals to the territory of the demon clan, their leader would not be an immortal in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm. However, an immortal in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm could take charge of the beast tide in Blackstone Ridge. Then if their leader was in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and the beast tide this time erupted to the extreme, would the territory of the demon clan be overturned?”
Roc Demon King was so shocked that he turned into a human figure. He slapped his thigh hard. “What you said reminded me of something. I came here this time to take care of Li Ye secretly, so I walked about in the mountains and forests. I found that there was something wrong with the fluctuation of Spiritual Qi in some places. It is not only in one place, but in several places!”
Flood Dragon Demon King twisted his body and seemed to be a little uneasy. “Since you have found so many places, then it is really a serious problem!”
“Then what should we do now?” Roc Demon King asked anxiously. Flood Dragon Demon King was, after all, old and well informed, so Roc Demon King asked for his opinion.
“Send an order to ask the cultivators under our command to prepare to fight. If the beast tide is really at its worst, we will have to do something about it,” said Flood Dragon Demon King.
“What about Li Ye?” Roc Demon King asked, “He is going to Macaque Mountain!”
“Let him go.” Flood Dragon Demon King thought for a while and said, “The immortals’ biggest purpose is to eliminate our demon clan. If we want to protect ourselves against the Immortal Court, we have to let the Great Formation of Sky Stars and the Chaos Clock appear, so there is nothing more important than letting Li Ye go to Seven Sages Mountain.”
“But all of this is just our guesses. You first go and organize forces to investigate the anomaly of the fluctuation of Spiritual Qi in various places. Don’t panic. Besides, we still have to take the Macaque King’s key, so it is good that Li Ye is going there.”
Roc Demon King nodded quickly, expressing his complete approval.
