Chapter 484 - 484 172 Demon King Holds a Meeting

484: Chapter 172: Demon King Holds a Meeting 484: Chapter 172: Demon King Holds a Meeting The Ye family had been merry for half a day, and drunken guests soared home on clouds.

On the way back to the barracks, Li Ping’an suddenly remembered why the name ‘Wang Shan’ felt so familiar to him.

He vaguely recalled that a copy of the original “Journey to the West” had circulated in his high school dormitory.

Their patience only sufficed to skim through the havoc in the Heavenly Court, which had sparked a few debates among them.

In the TV dramas, Sun Wukong threw the Heavenly Court into a panic, making the Jade Emperor hide under a table;

In the original story, after kicking over the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Sun Wukong only managed to fight his way into the Hall of Universal Brightness, outside the Lingxiao Hall, where he was stopped by an official named Wang Lingguan.

Sun Wukong and Wang Lingguan were equally matched, and then Wang Lingguan called upon thirty-six generals from the Thunder Department, trapping the monkey completely.

This Wang Lingguan seemed to be called Wang Shan, serving as a protector god and Daoist marshal, renowned as the ‘Great Spiritual Official of the Entire Heavens,’ commanding three hundred heavenly officers.

This Wang Shan, that Wang Shan?

The mighty Heavenly Court official, a disgraced former official of the East Alliance?

Li Ping’an glanced at the imposing Golden Cloud over the spiritual platform, thought about the Wanyun Sect disciple named ‘Li Jing,’ let his imagination run wild for a moment, and then forcibly quelled such wild thoughts.

It was too preposterous.

“Feng Tingzhu?” Li Ping’an called out.

“My lord!

Your orders!”

Li Ping’an said with a smile, “You seem to know many secrets.

Talk to me about this Wanyun Sect, just share what you know.”

Feng Tingzhu bowed and began to recount the heinous murders committed by the Wanyun Sect years ago.

One could say that a significant reason why there are so many rampant demon cultivators in the East Continent today is the example that Wanyun Sect set in the past.

The sounds of reporting from above the clouds gradually drifted away with the clouds;

However, the conversation among the immortals and mortals of that great city gained a few more topics.

In a pavilion at the Wang family’s backyard, the old man Tianli vanished in a flash, not forgetting to kick Ye Zisang on his way out.

The middle-aged scholar known as Wang Shan sat meditatively, fresh blood oozing from various parts of his body, as the Dao Charm around him gradually completed.

…

“Ah, when will these days come to an end?”

In Dong’an City, at the high-end magical implement store belonging to Wanyun Sect.

The outer sect disciple named Niu Qi, wielding a feather duster, swept at the nonexistent dust all around.

As the incarnation of the boisterous mountain monarch Niu Benben, Niu Qi had successfully infiltrated the core area of Wanyun Sect—Castcloud Hall!

Even though it was just the outer part of Castcloud Hall’s magical implement store;

Even though it was just a cleaning job;

Even though…

“Maybe I should just go back.”

Niu Benben mulled over this issue, squatting in a corner of a volcano.

His infiltration into Wanyun Sect was initially to uncover the secrets of the sect.

After spending three years in Wanyun Sect’s outer sect, he had hoped to rise quickly, get in touch with the elders and managers, and extract some important information.

However, due to slow progress in his cultivation, he was unexpectedly sent to a magical implement shop in Dong’an City to do menial work.

Furthermore, he wasn’t even assigned to busier shops that sell affordable magical implements!

“This king will never get ahead if I keep this up!”

Niu Benben looked at himself, then at his good brother Li Jing, with a particularly complex heart.

After Li Jing became a disciple of Elder Yansheng, he soared up high.

With abundant Elixir Pills and magical treasures, his progress in cultivation leaped by the day.

Now Li Jing had been listed as Wanyun Sect’s top Immortal Sprout and, as long as he could enter the Heaven and Earth Bridge realm and condense his Primordial Spirit, he would be recommended to join the East Alliance as an immortal soldier, serving as an apprentice to a Great Enlightened Prospective Immortal.

Who would worry about breaking through with a Great Enlightened Prospective Immortal as a mentor?

Niu Benben didn’t mind that his brother was doing better than him;

It was just unbearable that his brother was doing so much better than him!

“Damn it, this king must use my true body to beat up this Li Jing one day!”

“Enough, enough, this king can no longer stay in Wanyun Sect.

Mother Hu always wanted to use Wanyun Sect to deal with Cailin the Great, but this king can’t always be her pawn.

If I get too involved in these matters, I’m afraid it will bring disaster.”

“Initially, this king didn’t believe in any Great Wealth Immortal having Great Fortune or a Great Enlightened Prospective Immortal being able to uplift a Golden Immortal, but now…”

Niu Benben hummed thoughtfully, pondering a way to extricate himself.

It was actually easy to deal with.

Simply make ‘Niu Qi’ disappear, either by jumping into a river or burning himself in the Pill Furnace, as long as it’s clean, there would be no lingering complications.

Clang!

A sudden gong sounded beside his ear.

Niu Benben immediately recognized that this sound came from beside his true body’s ear!

Controlling ‘Niu Qi,’ he glanced around and ran to the back hall of the magical implement shop, sitting down behind two wooden boxes to doze off.

At the mouth of the volcano, Niu Benben’s huge and muscular true body poked its head out of the lava pool, looking up at a dark cloud descending from the sky.

Niu Benben’s dozens of generals, all formidable demons now in human form, stood around the edge of the volcano mouth, looking up at the dark cloud as if facing a formidable enemy.

Looking above the dark cloud!

Hundreds of demon soldiers in black armor, wielding sharp blades, were led by a Leopard Spirit with a human body and leopard head, bearing three elaborately patterned banners behind him, and holding a gong in his hand.

He struck the gong again and shouted,

“Is the great king of Krazy Mountain at home?”

Niu Benben’s form emerged from the lava pool, a fierce aura enveloping a hundred miles around.

The Leopard Spirit, whose strength was not much inferior to Niu Benben’s, immediately bowed obsequiously and said,

“Greetings to the great king of Krazy Mountain!

“I am a minor signal commander from Mount Futu, sent by our king to invite you to Mount Futu for a gathering!

“Our king has dispatched a total of three hundred and sixty signal commanders.

This time, we aim to convene all the great kings to discuss an important matter!”
