Chapter 1379: Chapter 558: Plotting with a Tiger [Seeking Subscription]

Underground Palace.

After Zhongxuan Demon King left with the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, Zhou Chun did not give up on breaking free from the imprisonment.

He roughly understood the other party’s intention and plan.

From the information revealed in his previous words, it seems that this man must have once been acquainted with a Demon King whose true form was a Burden Turtle, and that the Demon King named "Sky-Supporting Demon King" must be much stronger than him.

Otherwise, Zhongxuan Demon King wouldn’t have spoken with such respect when mentioning the "Sky-Supporting Demon King".

And from the fact that the "Sky-Supporting Demon King" left a piece of his turtle shell to Zhongxuan Demon King to identify the bloodline of the Bearer Tortoise Clan, it’s clear that he still had intentions to support future descendants of the Bearer Tortoise Clan.

Therefore, Zhou Chun speculated that Zhongxuan Demon King taking away the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer at this time was probably to help it break through and advance to the Fourth Order.

It was even possible that the "Sky-Supporting Demon King" also left some powerful treasure for the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, a descendant of the Bearer Tortoise Clan!

And after gaining the inheritance of his clan’s ancestors and experiencing the benefits of following a Demon King, whether the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer’s thoughts would change, no one could say.

However, at this moment, Zhou Chun was full of confidence.

He firmly believed that the deep bond formed between him and the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer over hundreds of years was not something that Zhongxuan Demon King could shake with mere benefits.

If Zhongxuan Demon King was trying to sway the thoughts of the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer through favors and disrupt the master-servant relationship, he was utterly mistaken.

The final result inevitably would be the loss of both troops and generals!

However, the restraints and seals left by Zhongxuan Demon King were not easy to shake off.

For half a month, Zhou Chun had been unable to shake off the suppression and restraint of the stone pressed against his back.

But with the passage of time and his struggle, it became apparent that this suppression was beginning to loosen.

If given more time, he might be able to break free.

Just as he thought he saw hope, Zhongxuan Demon King returned to the underground hall.

Upon returning, he only glanced at Zhou Chun and, somewhat surprised, said, "Oh, it seems like you, young human clan member, have considerable strength to actually shake the seal this king casually placed!"

"Senior Demon King Zhongxuan, please just speak clearly of your intentions; why humiliate the younger generation in this manner!"

Zhou Chun tried hard to raise his head to look at the Rocky Giant but could only see its chest, eventually giving up and speaking with a powerless tone.

He felt that Zhongxuan Demon King did not have the intent to kill him, nor did he mean to kill him.

At least, he didn’t seem to have such intentions right now.

So he could speak boldly of some matters.

Upon hearing this, Zhongxuan Demon King looked at him with slight surprise and said, "You, young member of the human clan, are quite fearless. Normally, when Golden Core Stage cultivators of your kind see this king, they are either tremblingly begging for mercy or bringing out their Nascent Soul Stage elders to scare this king. Yet you do neither!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Chun could not help but smile bitterly and replied, "If begging for your mercy could be effective, it wouldn’t be a problem for me to kneel and beg for mercy! But I don’t believe doing so would be of any use!"

At this point, he continued with a face filled with helplessness, "As for calling out Nascent Soul Stage elders to frighten you, Senior, not to mention whether it might backfire, I don’t seem to have such close and powerful elders either!"

Finally, he spoke frankly and said, "I can face you candidly, Senior, because you are not the first Demon King I’ve seen; I’ve even spotted our human clan’s Divine Venerable from afar. Seeing many, naturally the initial fear wanes!"

"What? You have seen the human clan’s Divine Venerable!"

Zhongxuan Demon King’s gaze focused, looking at Zhou Chun with disbelief.

No wonder he felt this way; nowadays, for cultivators and Demon Kings, Sixth-Order Strong Ones are incredibly rare!

Zhongxuan Demon King, due to his special roots, has already lived for six to seven thousand years and has been a Demon King for over four thousand years!

Yet even so, he has never seen a true Divine Venerable or a Sixth-Order Saint of the Demon Clan.

To him, those existences are merely mentioned in rumors shared by other Demon Kings and people of the same rank from the human clan.

Therefore, hearing that someone like Zhou Chun, a Golden Elixir Early Phase cultivator, had seen a Divine Venerable was shocking.

Seeing its strong reaction, Zhou Chun suddenly sensed an opportunity and murmured with admiration, "I only saw the Divine Venerable fighting from afar, didn’t see their appearance closely!"

His expectations were correct, upon hearing this, Zhongxuan Demon King immediately grew more excited and asked repeatedly, "A Divine Venerable fighting? With whom? Was it with a Saint from our Demon Clan?"

But at this moment, Zhou Chun remained silent instead of answering.

This behavior instantly displeased him, making him coldly say, "Have you forgotten the previous lesson, young one? If you dare play mind games with this king again, I’ll personally perform a soul search!"
