849: Chapter 477: Jia Loulan, Have You Gone Mad?
Without the Southern Extreme Demon Lord, How Can We Possibly Stand Against…
(Part 1)
“There’s no such thing as a Savior, there never was a Savior.”
“I, Yi Chengzi, have made it this far entirely through my own effort.”
“I still have a chance!”
In the deep night, beneath the dark canopy of the sky, a majestic black shadow raced high above at breakneck speed, yet seemingly merged seamlessly with the surroundings, stirring not a whisper of wind.
Relying on his own efforts and the help of countless Deep Red Points, Yi Chen had pushed his True Technique to the twenty-third layer, making this current task seem effortless.
A black-feathered Demon Eagle, its plumage as dark as jet iron and tipped with a touch of snow mountain white, soared high above.
After finishing its meal, the eagle shook its iron feathers and shot upwards.
Suddenly, it found itself blocking the path of another shadow racing across the horizon.
Perhaps too elated, the Demon Eagle let out an extremely piercing shriek.
Screech!
“Yell at your mother, White-headed Eagle!”
Suddenly, a large figure descended abruptly upon the Demon Eagle’s head, flinging it dozens of meters away and leaving it seeing stars.
In mid-flight, the amber eyes of the Demon Eagle sharply focused, yet it failed to catch even the tail light of the shadow that had hit it.
The startled Demon Eagle flapped its wings, trying to take off, only to experience a surge of strange power erupting from its body.
Its dense iron feathers began to fall out and scatter in all directions.
With the loss of its iron feather protection, this apex Predator of the Demon Realm food chain seemed as frail as a turkey running on the ground.
Screech~ Screech~
The shrieking resumed, but this time, the Demon Eagle’s cries lacked its previous joy and were filled with panic.
A Demon Eagle stripped of its feathers was even less than a chicken, because many chickens, even free-range ones, could fly.
Its small fleshy wings flapped frantically as the Demon Eagle tried to slow its fall, but without its feathers, the sky was no longer its domain. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Its descent grew faster and faster.
Screech~ Screech~ Screech~
Thud~
Just as the powerless Demon Eagle crashed onto a Ferocious Beast, a Blood Rock Sheep, which was stealing eggs, turning them both into a pile of mush, the instigator who had flung the Demon Eagle stopped abruptly.
“Newton, you’ve done a terrible thing!”
For some reason, seeing this spectacle improved Yi Chen’s previously foul mood by a notch.
Damn it, this Demon Eagle, oblivious to the times, dared to block his path forward.
Could he, Yi Chengzi, allow this?
Especially after he had recently broken through to the twenty-third layer of his True Technique.
Perhaps the slap that had dissipated some of the anger in Yi Chen’s heart abated a bit more when a flick of Extreme Origin fell onto the pile of mush far away, and only then did he turn around to continue sweeping toward the Southern Polar Royal City.
Although it was Newton who killed the eagle, the corpse had to be collected by him, Yi Chengzi.
Because he was kind~
He couldn’t deny that the death of the Demon Eagle was somewhat linked to his Holy Venerable Jia Loulan.
I didn’t kill the innocent, but the innocent died because of me; collecting its corpse is only reasonable.
“I saw a Demon Eagle lonely atop a sheep~”
“That Rock Sheep had licked river water as salty as the sea~”
“A Demon Eagle falls and meets its end on a shattered Rock Sheep~”
“Demonkin walk by; their bodies covered in the ashes of the Demon Eagle~”
Let the curse words pour forth, for only then can the soul be purified.
It’s not Yi Chengzi, who will endure the pain by smacking the obstructive Demon Eagle out of the way.
After stabilizing his emotions, Holy Venerable Jia Loulan resumed his journey.
Looking at the vast and open night sky, he gradually relaxed the tension in his heart.
“How about it, what if the Eastern Pole Demon Emperor has broken through the fifth layer?
Any obstacle that dares to impede Yi Chengzi’s progress will be met with a fierce punch, to test its mettle.
Moreover—he might not necessarily lose!
Using Extreme Origin Darkness Drive, containing his voice within three feet of his cultivation body, Hidden Dragon Temple Master, Great Justice Martial Alliance Hierarch, Great Qin State Master, Demon Righteous Sect Hierarch…
Holy Venerable Jia Loulan couldn’t help but whistle cheerfully the melody of ‘All Things Alive’ from the Demon Realm.
Rushing across the horizon, even with Yi Chen’s flee speed, it took him a continuous flight of two days and nights to arrive at an extraordinary valley and come to a halt.
According to his terms with the Southern Extreme Demon Lord, all he had to do was wait here to be met by other demonkin.
As for whether this horde of demonkin would know of his arrival, Yi Chen didn’t need to consider.
This valley was close to the half-core region near the Southern Polar Royal City, filled with highly concealed detection magic formations.
If the Southern Pole Demon Nation couldn’t manage even this, he would have slipped into the Southern Pole Demon Nation long ago and given that old Demon Tiger a ‘free haircut’ at night.
It was precisely because he had taken over the legacy of the Western Extreme Demon Country and knew the power of the detection magic formations near the core of the Royal City, that Yi Chen was so honest and did not execute any special operations.
“Southern Extreme Demon Country’s Tiger Slayer pays his respects to the Demon Righteous Sect Hierarch, Holy Venerable Jia Loulan Your Excellency.”
Roughly after half an hour, a robust figure swiftly flew from a remote valley, surveying the area before directly coming to stand beside Yi Chen and bowing deeply.
Hierarchy in the Demon Realm is strict; it is necessary for the weaker to bow to the stronger as a sign of respect.
The Tiger Demon facing Yi Chen, he realized, was an old acquaintance from the time he had a great battle with Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf above Heavenly Wolf River.
This demon had been the watching special envoy for the Southern Pole Demon Nation.
Back then, this Tiger Demon was naturally tailless, which Yi Chen found quite interesting, so he took note of this little Karamido.
In his estimation, this Tiger Demon was worth six to seven hundred Deep Red Points, a substantial amount of money indeed.
With that thought, Yi Chen’s eyes inevitably softened, and he cheerfully lifted the demon with both hands:
“I have long been in communion with the Southern Extreme Demon Lord God, and although we have never met, I am thoroughly familiar with the life history of the Southern Extreme Demon Lord and hold immense respect.”
“In my heart, the Southern Extreme Demon Lord is like a beloved kin of a different father and mother to my Gyalou, a brother in arms.
Your name is Tiger Slayer, right?
You, you have done well, there’s no need for such formality, lead the way ahead.”
“Perhaps in the future, I may need the assistance of my young friend here~”
“Many…
many thanks, Holy Venerable~”
Yi Chen’s unexpected warmth and politeness suddenly sent a chill through the spine of the tailless Tiger Demon Tiger Slayer, and it suddenly remembered a terrible piece of intelligence.
Rumors had it that Sect Hierarch Jia Loulan was indifferent to women, not so much as batting an eye at Youcheng City Lord, the enchantingly beautiful Selena, let alone the various beauties from the ranks of the demon nobility.
“Why…
why is this fellow so amiable toward me?
That look in his eyes…
it’s as if he wants to devour me.”
“Damn…
I should have refused this task in the first place.”
The Southern Extreme Demon Country’s famous handsome Tiger Slayer was in a great internal tumult, receding continuously from Yi Chen’s helping hand and then, without a word, leading the way to an entrance of a secret tunnel, leaving Yi Chen somewhat baffled.
“Why is this guy walking with his butt clenched?”
“He wasn’t like this when he first came to me.”
Inside the dark passageway, Yi Chen watched the Tiger Demon leading the way, and a touch of doubt arose in his Heart Lake.
“Damn it, insolent, to dare to plot against Yi Chengzi, you’re courting death!”
Upon considering a possibility, a fleeting gleam of murderous intent darted across Yi Chen’s eyes, resembling a beast ready to leap.
The sudden surge of a threatening sensation made the Tiger Demon leading the way panic, causing it to increase its pace.
Fear overwhelmed it.
“Damn, if Jia Loulan makes unreasonable demands to the King, demanding me….”
