Chapter 125 - 121: Gang Leader, No Please, That Person is Too Fierce

Chapter 125: Chapter 121: Gang Leader, No Please, That Person is Too Fierce

Chen Yuan sighed and lifted the Golden Light Restriction outside.

"Thud"

"Thud"

"Thud"

After several muffled sounds, the inside of the house instantly filled with wails and howls.

Three odd and grotesque Human Demons cried out for mercy, full of resentment and fury.

Not only were their bodies demonized, but their Divine Souls were as well.

"Spare me, sir." A small creature about a meter tall with green scales and dragon horns pleaded with a terrified expression, continuously begging for mercy.

"Yang Wei, I knew you were spineless. We’ve ended up like this, do you really think he would spare you?" The White Tiger, with a tiger head and a human body, clenched his teeth at the Azure Dragon, his eyes brimming with hatred and roaring furiously.

"Chen Yuan, where is the Vermilion Bird?" Instead, Xuanwu, with horns on his head and a dark blue shell, roared in a deep voice with bloodshot eyes.

"Killed!" said Chen Yuan casually.

At these words, Xuanwu went mad.

"Ah, you deserve to die!"

Then, the Essence rushed towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and a strand of golden flame appeared, swiftly enveloping the opponent.

"It seems that, in your case, bastards have indeed mixed with beasts."

He snorted coldly as the strand of golden flame blazed up, enclosing the Essence being confronted.

The intense sizzling sound was followed by a piercing scream from Xuanwu.

The screams were so chilling that they made the White Tiger and Azure Dragon both turn pale.

Chen Yuan turned his gaze toward these two Human Demons, his eyes slowly moving, his tone eerily calm.

"You two, who wants to tell me the roots behind your Demon Sect, I am quite curious."

"Sir, I’ll tell!"

Yang Wei, the Azure Dragon, hurriedly spoke out.

The White Tiger clamped his mouth shut, seeing Azure Dragon take the lead, and cursed him for his lack of backbone.

It was not until Chen Yuan’s stern gaze fell on him and a strand of Golden Core True Fire flickered towards him that his face drastically changed, and following the fate of Xuanwu, he too let out a piercing scream.

Hearing the tragic screams of White Tiger and Xuanwu, Yang Wei was petrified and quickly spilled the beans about their origins.

Three years ago, they were just clan leaders in the mountains outside the border and had some fame in those regions. They happened to ambush a passing merchant caravan and encountered a powerful Human Demon. The gears of fate thus turned, and this Human Demon subdued them, turning them into Human Demons, telling them the methods of transformation and how to deal with other Demons, and then disappeared.

This Human Demon told them that once they became powerful enough, they would become one of them.

However, that Human Demon never appeared again, it seemed like a fleeting whim. Yet, the ambition of the four grew uncontrollably, wreaking havoc outside the border and leading to the current situation.

"One of them?"

"To become a real Demon?"

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow as he heard Azure Dragon’s story.

The reason he asked these things was he wanted to verify the origins of the Feixian Sect, not some rootless entity; to clear his mind - through Golden Scale, he had previously guessed that these guys had significant connections with Demons.

He hadn’t expected it was a Human Demon that led them on this path.

"What cultivation did that Human Demon have at that time?"

Chen Yuan’s eyes gleamed intensely.

"Not sure," the Azure Dragon quickly shook his head.

"Even if I step into the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, thinking back to that person, I still can’t comprehend."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered; it seemed that the term "Human Demon" marked by the Tiger Talisman referred to a vast group.

He fell silent for a long while, his gaze suddenly blazed, and golden light shot directly at the Green Dragon Essence, abruptly stopping in front of it.

A terrifying aura emerged from within, making Azure Dragon’s face fill with horror.

Chen Yuan spoke, asking him,

"Tell me, where is your treasure hoard?"

These fellows had been ravaging outside the border for many years and must have accumulated quite a fortune. Chen Yuan wouldn’t let these guys off easily until he squeezed them dry.

Hearing this, Azure Dragon’s eyes flickered, hesitated then stopped.

"Not telling? Then die!"

The Magic Eye Golden Light shot out of Chen Yuan’s eyes, piercing directly through the Essence.

Azure Dragon felt his Divine Soul being torn apart, cried out in haste, "I’ll tell, I’ll tell!"

"Our Four Symbols, each person’s treasure hoard is only known to themselves, I only know mine."

"Stop the chatter, speak yours, I have my ways for the others," Chen Yuan seeing Azure Dragon begin to talk, paused the golden light, flashing a grin showing his white teeth.

Azure Dragon then disclosed the location of his own treasure hoard.

And afterwards, the room continued to echo with screams.

............

At this moment, inside the White Emperor City, in the east, a vast mansion covering several hundred acres.

Inside the gates were vermilion tiles and carved beams, pavilions, terraces, and waterside pavilions with rock gardens scattered around; every ten steps changed the scene, no less luxurious.

A commotion started within.

At the entrance, Armored Soldiers drove carts in and out of the mansion; the carts were empty going in and fully loaded when coming out, filled with bags of rations or big black wooden boxes.

In the yard, men in uniform, their arms wrapped with black bands, were either pressed to the ground by Armored Soldiers with knives and forks or captured with hands behind their backs, their heads pressed to the ground.

Among them, a heavily tattooed man with a strong presence was surrounded by several soldiers. With a shocked and angry face, as he watched large quantities of money and food in the warehouse being loaded onto carts and taken away, he angrily said, "That’s the Four Seas Gang’s money and food, why are you moving it, I want to report this to our Gang Leader!"

However, the leading Armored Soldier took out an official document.

"This is an order from the Colonel, all the funds, ships, and boatmen of the Four Seas Gang are to be commandeered by the Prefecture for the relief of refugees outside the border."

"Anyone who dares to obstruct will be executed without mercy!"

"You..." The Hall Master of the Four Seas Gang, his pupils fiercely dilated.

Just then, a fierce scream came roaring, carrying with it dark and angry energy.

"What a declaration of merciless execution!"

As the voice fell, a dark figure dropped into the center of the crowd, instantly, a violent gust of wind overturned the front Armored Soldiers, making thudding sounds as they hit the ground.

The newcomer revealed himself, with raised eyebrows and fierce eyes that gleamed coldly, his aura wild as he spoke in a chilling voice:

"So, Xiang Qingtian dares to target my Four Seas Gang, it seems he does not take me, Li Jingyun, seriously."

"If you want the funds, have him come and ask me personally!"

With these words,

A slightly mocking voice came through.

"Boss Li has arrived just in time, I remember you were supposed to be secluded."

With the voice settled, Xiang Qingtian’s figure materialized in the air, revealing himself.

"Xiang Qingtian, what do you mean?" Li Jingyun frowned upon seeing Xiang Qingtian, his voice unfriendly.

"Commandeering the funds and ships of the Four Seas Gang was my order," Xiang Qingtian’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice calm.

"Xiang Qingtian, this is retaliation! Just because last night I, Li Jingyun, did not make a move, but what of it? That was your duty to guard, what does it have to do with us? Helping is kindness, not helping is our right. Don’t you find your action laughable?" Li Jingyun’s face was stern as he continued,

"I respect you as the Colonel, but how can you do anything to me, Li Jingyun, if the Four Seas Gang disrespects you?"

After speaking, his aura surged, and with a sweep of his sleeve to the side, several Armored Soldiers were instantly blown away, eliciting a scream.

"You’re right, but the Four Seas Gang feeds on the rice of White Emperor City, Li Jingyun, usually, your gang is so overbearing, I could barely tolerate it, but this time, spit it all out to me."

Xiang Qingtian’s voice was steady at first, but as he spoke, he stepped forward, and the aura of the Heavenly Pass surged out.

Meanwhile, inside the Sky Patrol Department,

Chen Yuan saw two fireballs in front of him, inside which the screams of the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu could be heard.

He was interrogating these two beings about the location of their treasury.

Just then, his expression shifted slightly, he stopped and looked outside the room.

Following that, he lifted his sleeve, withdrew the two flames, and the next second, his figure vanished from the room.

........

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

Above the Four Seas Gang, thunderous explosions roared.

Two shadows, one whipping up a blaze of flames and the other stirring up furious waves.

Fire and water incompatible, hissing loudly.

Xiang Qingtian and the Gang Leader of the Four Seas Gang, Li Jingyun, were locked in battle, from within came Li Jingyun’s angry shout.

"Hmph, Xiang Qingtian, I was curious how you repelled the demons of the Demon Sect, did you ask for help from Langya Mountain or Feilong Temple."

"Now feeling bold, you think you can squish my Four Seas Gang like soft persimmons."

"I, Li Jingyun, am not a vegetarian."

Speaking, the waves surged, raising a giant wave that slapped towards the sky, pressing down the flames slightly.

Suddenly, a piercing sound whistled.

A flicker of silver brilliance, swift as a shooting star, instantly shot forward.

"Boom"

The giant wave was fiercely shattered.

Inside it, Li Jingyun felt a strong killing intent, his complexion changed, and he abruptly retreated.

His eyes then sharpened, seeing it was a long spear with a triple-pointed double-edge.

Shortly after, a golden thin line fired rapidly from afar, flickering several times before appearing beside Xiang Qingtian.

Li Jingyun, having been named by Xiang Qingtian last night, feared being noticed by those demons, turned and fled, waiting in a place outside the border.

Regardless, he was already prepared, receiving news of the malicious encroachment by the Demon Sect, he had immediately arranged for core members to evacuate with plenty of funds.

However, pressed for time, most of his foundation still remained in White Emperor City.

By dawn, he raced back to check and happened to witness this scene.

Yet unaware of the specific details of last night’s grand battle outside the Prefecture.

He stared at Chen Yuan, his face sullen, squinting.

"Who are you?"

Unexpectedly, from high above, the Four Seas Gang members who remained in White Emperor City from the day before saw Chen Yuan and were greatly startled.

The Hall Master hurriedly used magic to ascend, approaching his own Gang Leader, almost blocking in front of him.

"Leader, that is Chen Yuan!" he quickly sent a message, even though it was a message, he couldn’t help but lower his voice.

"Chen Yuan?" Li Jingyun frowned.

"From the ’Demon Suppression Chronicles’!"

His subordinate Hall Master hastily nodded.

Li Jingyun’s eyes darkened, seeing his subordinate’s anxious demeanor blocking in front of him, he grew impatient, raising his voice, "Move aside, why so nervous, this person has only just breached the Fourth Heavenly Barrier."

His subordinate, startled by their leader’s loud voice, hurriedly said:

"Not possible, my leader, yesterday this man killed four Heavenly Pass Demons and nearly annihilated the Four Symbols of the Demon Sect."

"This man is now the Colonel of the Ninth Mountain!"
