Chapter 293 - 293 292 A Remark Shocks the Audience

293: Chapter 292: A Remark Shocks the Audience 293: Chapter 292: A Remark Shocks the Audience “Please,”

Bai Hong laughed heartily, extending an inviting gesture toward Ye Xuan, and turned his gaze authoritatively to the demon soldiers surrounding them, “Huaguo Mountain stands proudly between heaven and earth, and we are not ones who bully with numbers.

Today, Emperor Dongji visits Huaguo Mountain as a guest.

My boys, put away your weapons.

Would we really let Emperor Dongji witness Huaguo Mountain being the butt of jokes?”

“Yes, Great King.”

Endless demon soldiers sheathed their weapons and even cleared the way.

Pride was evident on the face of every demon, clearly taking pride in Huaguo Mountain.

This scene left Han Guang and the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals dumbfounded.

However, each of them felt a sense of awe for Ye Xuan—this was indeed the demeanor a Heavenly Emperor should possess.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The water curtain parted, and under Bai Hong and others’ lead, Ye Xuan strode into the Shuilian Cave.

As the water curtain closed behind them, Ye Xuan and the various Demon Kings vanished from sight.

Shuilian Cave.

A blessed land of Cave Heavens and Spiritual Energy flowing like water, auspicious and colorful lights criss-crossing through the void.

With spotless white jade tables and a dazzling array of Spirit Fruits and fragrant wines, it was as if one had entered an idyllic paradise.

“Please take a seat.”

Bai Hong sat at the head of the table, grand and imposing, with seventy-two Cave Demon Kings seated on either side.

A group of Little Demons brought in the white jade tables, and a brand new cushion was placed before Ye Xuan.

“My fellow Daoist, please take the seat of honor,” Bai Hong said, emanating the majestic air of a Demon King.

Ye Xuan seated himself on the cushion, a smile perpetually gracing his face, showing no sign of hostility, as if he were simply visiting a friend’s home.

Whoosh!

Bai Hong personally filled a cup with wine and pushed it through the air towards Ye Xuan; the air seemingly twisted slightly as popping sounds echoed faintly.

Pop!

With fingers nimble as shuttles, Ye Xuan caught the wine cup effortlessly; not a single drop spilled from the cup.

Bai Hong and the Demon Kings nodded internally, recognizing that Ye Xuan possessed great Divine Powers.

“My fellow Daoist, this king toasts to you.”

Bai Hong raised his cup and drank it in one gulp, joined naturally by the other Demon Kings.

Ye Xuan, without hesitation, emptied his cup as well.

“Spirit Fruit brew, aromatic and mellow—indeed, it is fine wine.”

Ye Xuan praised aloud, nonchalantly picking up the White Jade Wine Pot and pouring another cup for himself, which he leisurely drank down to the last drop.

This left Bai Hong and the others with a slight frown, unsure of what Ye Xuan was really up to.

“My fellow Daoist, if it were any other day, with the courage you demonstrated today, I would gladly befriend you.

However, you are the Heavenly Emperor, and it’s a pity that our friendship cannot come to be,” Bai Hong said calmly.

“Ye Xuan, we won’t mince words with you.

We treated you with courtesy today because we of Huaguo Mountain do not wish to outnumber and bully our guests.

Once you leave today, upon our next meeting, it shall be the day your body perishes and your path ends,” declared the Purple Dragon King, who hated Immortals, tearing away all pretenses.

“The Purple Dragon King, originally named Ao Qing, the Crown Prince of the South Sea Dragon Palace, committed a celestial violation in his youth by shattering the Nine Revolutions Glazed Lamp bestowed by the Jade Emperor.

He was supposed to be taken to the Dragon Beheading Platform to be executed but was secretly set free by the South Sea Dragon King’s protection, resulting in the South Sea Dragon King being punished by the Jade Emperor.

He was suppressed at the South Sea Sea Eye where he suffered night and day from the searing torment of extreme yin cold fire, enduring millennia of torment.”

Ye Xuan sampled the wine in his cup, his voice calm and steady, yet it caused the Purple Dragon King’s eyes to nearly burst with rage, the intensely terrifying Luotian Immortal Light faintly causing the void to collapse.

“You…

you….” The Purple Dragon King’s fists clenched tightly as he slowly stood up, his gaze towards Ye Xuan filled with an extremely terrifying murderous intent.

Unfortunately for the Purple Dragon King, Ye Xuan completely ignored his fury.

With a smile, he continued, “Although the South Sea Dragon King’s protective nature for his child led him to willingly endure torment within the South Sea Sea Eye, you were relentlessly pursued by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, fleeing in desperation day and night, until you found refuge in Huaguo Mountain where you finally got a chance to catch your breath.”

“I must say, you are indeed intelligent.

Fueled by the power of hatred, it took you merely tens of thousands of years to reach the level of Luotian Mystic Immortal.

Unfortunately, as a son, you were unable to save your father, which deepened your resentment towards the Heavenly Court.”

At this point, Ye Xuan traced a cold smile with his lips as he looked at the Purple Dragon King, his voice eerily probing, “Ao Qing, am I right?”

“I’ll kill you!”

Roar!

A dragon’s cry shook the heavens, and flames billowed.

As Ye Xuan laid bare the Purple Dragon King’s old secrets, the Purple Dragon King completely lost his mind.

Terrifying dragon claws materialized, poised to lash out fiercely at Ye Xuan.

“Younger brother, stop!”

Suddenly, before the Purple Dragon King could strike, Bai Hong’s face darkened as he sternly rebuked him.

This caused the Purple Dragon King’s aura to choke, and turning his head to look at Bai Hong, his eyes blood-red, he said, “Brother, he’s a bastard of the Heavenly Court.

There’s no need for so much idle talk with him.

I don’t need anyone else; I can kill him all by myself.”

“Insolence!”

Bai Hong’s hand slammed down on the table in front of him, instantly pulverizing it.

The terrifying Luotian Golden Light burst forth, causing the Purple Dragon King’s expression to subtly change.

Knowing his elder brother was angered, he could only shoot Ye Xuan a resentful gaze before retreating back to his seat.

“Ye Daoist, I respect you as a person.

I won’t kill you today, but the next time we meet, you and my Huaguo Mountain will be enemies, not friends.

You may leave now,” Bai Hong said with a stern face, issuing the command for Ye Xuan to leave.

Unfortunately for Bai Hong, Ye Xuan remained unmoved, finished the wine in his cup, and glanced at Bai Hong with a hint of enigmatic color in his eyes.

“Bai Hong, one of the Four Chaos Monkeys, although unparalleled in talent, was originally just an ordinary monkey of Huaguo Mountain.

It was only because the Fighting Saint Buddha took pity on the Huaguo Mountain lineage, personally bestowing his Earthly Fiend Seventy Two Transformations and various Divine Power Techniques that you obtained your current status as a Luotian Golden Immortal.

Your greatest wish in life is to protect Huaguo Mountain, to ensure its lineage endures forever.”

“Am I right, Daoist Bai Hong?” Ye Xuan spoke at length.

At this moment.

Bai Hong’s eyes narrowed slightly, a terrifying cold light flashing through them, the Luotian Golden Light around his body was slightly chaotic, and after several seconds had passed, Bai Hong gradually returned to his calm state.

“Ye Xuan, do you really think, out of concern for face, that I won’t kill you today?” Bai Hong said coldly.

“Haha!”

Ye Xuan laughed heartily, his voice creepily saying, “No, no, no, you misunderstand, Bai Hong Daoist.

Let’s not even talk about whether you can kill me.

I’m just reminding you that although Huaguo Mountain has seventy-two Cave Demon Kings and billions of demon soldiers, appearing strong and fearless against the group of Immortals of the Heavenly Court, you should know this is only because the forces of the Heavenly Court are complex and intertwined.

If the Heavenly Court truly wished to wipe out your Huaguo Mountain, you wouldn’t even have the chance to resist.”

“What a joke, my elder brother is a Luotian Golden Immortal.

Unless the three Great Emperors themselves make a move, who could extinguish my Huaguo Mountain?” The Heavenly Peng King said sharply, his gaze towards Ye Xuan growing colder by the moment.

Ye Xuan smiled coldly and said, “Heavenly Peng King, half-demon, half-human, the offspring of Kong Xuan and a mortal woman.

If it weren’t for the various Immortals and powerhouses dreading Kong Xuan’s presence, someone with your record of slaying so many Immortals would have been pulverized by a Great Divine Power long ago, and your soul scattered.

How could you possibly stand here prattling on with me?”
