BXBX NOVEL Chapter 556: Demon City. State Your Name, Incomer
Chapter 556: Demon City. State Your Name, Incomer
A Deluxe Merit cloud slowly passed by.
The world was at peace.
“Oh? So you’re saying the Heavenly Palace is about to battle the Ghastly Ghost King?” Li Nianfan ate his Instant Noodles as he asked Yao Mengji.
Slurp!
Yao Mengji hurriedly slurped up his noodles and swallowed. Then, he replied, “Yeah, Mr. Li. The Ghosts are causing havoc everywhere. The Underworld was obstructed when they wanted to arrest the Ghosts. Both sides were injured when they battled. Most importantly, the Ghastly Ghost King is scheming to attack the Underworld. He also said that he wants to release the evil Ghosts from the Eighteenth Layer of Hell. The Underworld’s more stressed than ever.”
Li Nianfan drank a sip of soup. He asked curiously, “Are they confident that they’ll win? How powerful is the Ghastly Ghost King?”
“It’s difficult to win!” Yao Mengji shook his head and sighed softly. “The Ghastly Ghost King’s an enigma. He has three powerful Ghosts to protect him as his workers. They’re all Resentful Ghosts that are also Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals. The Heavenly Palace wants to defeat them but it’ll be very difficult.”
Li Nianfan asked in a weird tone, “So powerful?”
“According to the people who knew the history of the Ghastly Ghost King, the Ghost is a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. And a powerful one. He’s someone who can create realms!”
Yao Mengji looked fearfully respectful. After all, that was someone who was like Lord Pangu. Then, he continued, “However, he failed during the realm creation process. Before his ultimate destruction, he was so powerful that he survived. Maybe he got lucky. He turned to a Resentful Ghost. In the end, he improved until he got his powers back. Also, he turned that world into the Area of the Ghosts!”
“I can’t believe there’s history like that. The Chaos is truly full of wonders.”
Li Nianfan nodded. He hoped that everything could be successful. Li Nianfan felt like he could interfere with the battle if there was a huge issue. He was the Deluxe Merit Saint after all. ‘The Underworld—is under my protection!’
The Ghastly Ghost King probably would not dare to be merciless.
Slurp, slurp—
Everyone continued to eat their noodles and drink their soup.
Qin Manyun had forgotten about her grace in front of Li Nianfan. She buried her head inside the bowl and slurped loudly. The soup was visibly disappearing.
Soon, Qin Manyun exclaimed with satisfaction after finishing the soup. She smiled.
Her lips were much redder because of the soup. Her cheeks were stained with oil. Her left cheek also had a strand of noodle on it.
She had to say, “So delicious!”
It had been a while since she ate delicacies from the expert. She could not believe that there was a new batch of magical things again.
They were weirded out by the Instant Noodles at first. It was only noodles soaked in some seasoning and hot water. They could not imagine how it would taste good. However, the flavor was unexpectedly wonderful.
It was more than delicious. The noodles, the seasoning, and the water used were incredible treasures. Therefore, they did not want to waste it. Qin Manyun would probably lick the bowl clean if she could, but she was afraid that it was too much in front of the expert.
‘Every meal with the expert allows me to break through easily. It’s as easy as tearing a piece of paper,’ Qin Manyun secretly thought to herself. She followed the expert around to eat and drink. Then, she became an Immortal out of nowhere.
She would probably still be a cultivator from the Yuan Ying realm if she had not met the expert. The difference was...huge!
‘Is this the happiness of relying on a bigshot?’
Yao Mengji pointed forward. He said, “Mr. Li, Demon City’s right there.”
Li Nianfan looked over. He smiled and said, “It’s indeed majestic.”
He saw a huge city wall. It was different from a Human city wall. The city wall was made from clay. Through the city wall, he could still see a lot of the buildings that were taller than the walls. The style was different from a Human city. It looked unique and odd.
However, it was understandable. The city walls were probably made with Demon powers. Demons had an odd taste in beauty. It naturally looked different.
From afar, they could see all sorts of flying beasts circling on top of the city. There were also a lot of roaring beasts on land. It was like a playground for Demons.
“Look, Mr. Li.”
Yao Mengji automatically became a tour guide. “Around the Demon City, there are six tall mountains. One of the mountains is the Fox Mountain, ruled by Little Fox. The other five mountains are ruled by six Demon Kings. This area’s known as the Demon Mountains.”
“It looks like a successful land.”
Li Nianfan nodded. The six mountains that Yao Mengji mentioned were far away. Li Nianfan could only see the outline. They were covered by the mist. Of course, it would only take an hour to arrive if they flew fast enough.
So... They were practically neighbors.
Suddenly, he noticed something. He looked at one of the mountains and felt like it looked familiar. He looked closely and realized the outline of the mountain was a dog’s head with two ears.
He had to arch his eyebrow. “Is that...the Dog Mountain?”
Yao Mengji smiled and nodded. “That’s right. It’s the Dog Mountain. One of us.”
“Haha, what a coincidence. I wonder how Blackie’s doing.”
Li Nianfan laughed. Then, he said, “Blackie hasn’t been home in a long while. I guess that the changes in the world affected him. He probably can’t go home because it’s too far away. He’s too weak to go home.”
Yao Mengji felt troubled. However, he was used to it. He nodded naturally and said, “You’re right, Mr. Li.”
‘Blackie’s too weak?
‘The world will truly be dangerous if Blackie can’t go home...’
Meanwhile.
At Demon City.
Little Green, Wild Boar Demon, and the Black Bear Demon were patrolling around the city.
Those three were considered the OG’s that followed Little Fox. They had been with Little Fox since Fallen Town. Most importantly, they were all badly beaten by Blackie and Xiao Bai before. They bonded through their common suffering. Little Fox trusted them a lot. They were not powerful cultivators but they were considered successful.
Truthfully, how could they be evil when they knew the existence of the expert?
They served Little Fox carefully every day.
Suddenly, a golden Deluxe Merit Cloud slowly appeared on the faraway horizon. It instantly caught a lot of glimpses and attention.
Little Green and the others were ruling the place with authority. When they heard the news, they immediately jumped. Then, they looked up and stared. They all leaped at the same time.
‘It’s the expert!
‘The expert’s here!’
“Hurry, follow me to welcome him!”
Little Green had a shaky and anxious voice. Little Green leaped to the air.
They saw a big Eagle Demon flying toward the expert. They instantly started to sweat and almost cursed out loud. They flew faster.
The Eagle Demon stopped in front of the Deluxe Merit Cloud. It looked arrogant. It asked, “State your name, incomer.”
“State my foot!”
A huge bear paw swooped down from the sky like a heavy hammer. It slapped the Eagle Demon away. A few feathers were left floating in the air.
Then, Little Green and the others stood there with caution and respect. They wore the friendliest smiles ever...
