Chapter 385: Chapter 263: Heavenly God Temple!

Immediately defending his own, he turned towards the subordinates of the Devil Incarnate and shouted:

"Devil Incarnate,

what are you looking at?

It must have been one of your guys talking nonsense!"

The Devil Incarnate confidently said:

"Impossible!

My subordinates are all well-mannered.

Clearly, the voice came from your side."

The Old Monkey Spirit firmly denied:

"Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!"

The Devil Incarnate smirked smugly and said:

"I, the Devil Incarnate, am famously sharp-eared!

There’s no way I heard wrong!

The voice came from over there!"

All of a sudden,

over a thousand Monkey Spirits and five hundred Demon Monsters simultaneously turned their gaze toward the source of the sound.

Which was right around where Li Ping’an was.

"It’s over!

Trouble is brewing!"

Li Ping’an immediately pretended to be clueless and scanned his surroundings dumbly.

But the Monkey Spirits around him weren’t foolish.

They heard one of their own interrupting during their leader’s negotiation,

so they consciously moved aside to the left and right.

Only three Monkey Spirits remained around Li Ping’an.

The target of the Devil Incarnate suddenly narrowed down to three Monkey Spirits.

As soon as Li Ping’an spoke, he would betray himself.

Without delay, he glanced around slyly, completely innocuous, and made a shushing gesture to one of the Monkey Spirits next to him.

Gesturing for that Monkey Spirit not to speak.

Under Li Ping’an’s misdirection,

all the Demons’ attention was instantly on that Monkey Spirit.

Who knew that Monkey Spirit would open his mouth—it said:

"Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhhh!"

Li Ping’an immediately felt a shiver run down his scalp, internally exclaiming:

It couldn’t be such a coincidence!

The Old Monkey Spirit saw and understood that Monkey Spirit’s actions.

He turned to the Devil Incarnate and his subordinates and explained:

"He is a mute.

He couldn’t possibly be talking nonsense!"

The Devil Incarnate then shifted his target to the cluelessly looking Li Ping’an and another Monkey Spirit in front:

"Aren’t there two more here?

You two repeat what was said just now!

Or we start fighting right away!"

Li Ping’an and that Monkey Spirit looked towards the Old Monkey Spirit with faces full of fear.

The Old Monkey Spirit felt powerless.

The Devil Incarnate was already stronger than them,

and this way of handling the situation was already quite generous.

The Old Monkey Spirit secretly hoped that it was not them who had spoken,

hoping to gloss over the incident.

"You two, say it again.

Don’t be afraid!"

The Monkey Spirit standing in front of Li Ping’an immediately spoke up and repeated:

"Why not just swap the caves and be done with it?"

Unexpectedly, this Monkey Spirit had a drake voice,

making what he said sound very unpleasant.

But the Devil Incarnate was still not satisfied:

"Why didn’t you say ’idiot’?"

The Old Monkey Spirit questioned:

"Did that Demon call anyone an idiot just now?"

The Devil Incarnate insisted:

"I don’t care!

Say it again!"

The Monkey Spirit helplessly said again:

"Why not just swap the caves and be done with it? Idiot!"

The Devil Incarnate shook his head and said:

"It’s not him!"

At that moment,

Whether it was his own group of Monkey Spirits from Mount Huaguo.

Or the Devil Incarnate along with the hundreds of underlings.

All the Demon Monsters’ attention had turned towards Li Ping’an.

The pressure suddenly came down on Li Ping’an.

The Devil Incarnate stared at Li Ping’an and commanded,

"You, speak!"

Pretending to be dumbfounded, Li Ping’an broke into a nervous sweat and heaved a sigh of relief.

Deliberately rolling his tongue, he covered his face and laughed,

"Why not just swap caverns and be done with it? Idiot!"

A Cunning Ghost beside the Devil Incarnate chimed in,

"It’s him!"

Li Ping’an immediately got angry, pointing at the Cunning Ghost beside the Devil Incarnate and scolded,

"Hey!

Could you please not slander my innocence?"

The Devil Incarnate heard Li Ping’an’s voice under duress, unmasked.

It was immediately revealed.

The very person, who was mismatching phrases earlier, caught by the Devil Incarnate.

He immediately lifted his steel knife and angrily pointed at Li Ping’an,

"Still say it wasn’t you!"

Li Ping’an felt a jolt through him, just like an electric shock.

Very helplessly, he argued,

"Big brother.

I don’t even know what I’m saying myself.

And you actually understood it?"

After the Devil Incarnate confirmed Li Ping’an was the Demon that mismatched phrases,

He glared at the Old Monkey Spirit and questioned,

"Old Monkey Spirit.

He’s your subordinate.

You should know our rules at Mount Huaguo’s seventy-two caverns."

The Old Monkey Spirit, speechless, glared at the very disgraceful Li Ping’an and couldn’t say a word.

Li Ping’an urgently said,

"Come on!

Even babbling gets me in trouble!

What kind of rule is that?"

The Devil Incarnate smirked and said,

"The rule of Mount Huaguo’s seventy-two caverns is,

The upper ranks speak.

If the lower ranks interrupt,

We cut off their hands!"

Li Ping’an spread his hands and asked,

"Can we just cut fingernails instead?"

The Devil Incarnate became furious,

"Oh!

I didn’t expect you to not only like babbling,

but to also be slick-tongued!

I’m going to use your tongue as a side dish for my drink today!"

The Devil Incarnate looked to his underlings and commanded,

"Bring that disheveled, hairy thing over here that looks like a monkey!"

Li Ping’an currently just wanted to survive.

He didn’t want to offend anyone.

He never imagined that a single complaint would cost him his life.

Facing the ferociously approaching three Ox-Head Spirits from the Devil Incarnate,

Li Ping’an looked pitifully at the Old Monkey Spirit and said,

"Ancestor, save me!"

Li Ping’an was quickly restrained by the three Ox-Head Spirits, ready to be brought before the Devil Incarnate.

After a long hesitation, the Old Monkey Spirit suddenly shouted,

"Stop!"

The Devil Incarnate urgently asked,

"What now? Are you going to break the rules?

Or do you want to fight with the Devil Incarnate right now?"

The Old Monkey Spirit retorted,

"Wasn’t it you who broke the rules first?"

The Devil Incarnate confidently said,

"Yes, yes, yes.

But keep things separate.

Let’s deal with this meddlesome and slick-tongued critter first, then we’ll talk about the cavern issue."

The Devil Incarnate tilted his head towards his underlings restraining Li Ping’an.
