Chapter 422 - 422 421 Threat

422: Chapter 421 Threat 422: Chapter 421 Threat “Demon Master Kunpeng, whose might shook ancient times, naturally left a legacy that even the three great Demon Kings by his side found deeply alluring, which was understandable.

Ye Xuan firmly believed in one thing, as the saying goes, there are no pies in the sky for the taking.

If the North Sea Dragon King knew about the Kunpeng Inheritance in the Beiming Sea, why didn’t he claim it for himself, instead of openly sharing it with a group of demons?

Ye Xuan did not believe the North Sea Dragon King was some kind of great benefactor.

He suspected that there must be some dangerous oddities within the Beiming Sea, which prompted the North Sea Dragon King to summon a group of demons to jointly seek this immense opportunity.

Of course, Ye Xuan was not the only clever one.

After calming down, the Yinglong King also realized something was amiss, and his gaze towards the North Sea Dragon King was filled with suspicion.

“Ao Daoist friend, I cannot fathom why you would share such a tremendous opportunity with the likes of us,” the Yinglong King stated bluntly, continuously scrutinizing the North Sea Dragon King’s facial expressions, hoping to discern something useful.

“Indeed, you old dragon are the most cunning, and yet today you are so benevolently inviting us to explore the Beiming Sea together.

Could it be that you have some ulterior, devious plot?” the Zidian Demon King asked gloomily.

As the two great Demon Kings expressed their doubts, the greed-fueled reverie of the gathered demons was broken, and they all looked towards the North Sea Dragon King with dark and suspicious eyes.

Clearly, none of the Demon Kings present were fools; upon careful thought, they realized the enormity of the issue.

With the crowd glaring and demonic energy brewing, the North Sea Dragon King’s figure trembled, and he quickly clasped his fists and bowed to the Demon Kings, then sighed, “It’s not that the old dragon refuses to share the Beiming Sea with Daoist friends, but the sea’s seal, although loosening, requires the blood of a hundred demons to break.

The old dragon sits atop a treasure mountain yet cannot enter, leaving me no choice but to share the Beiming Sea with you all.”

As the North Sea Dragon King continued to explain, the several hundred Demon Kings eventually nodded in satisfaction.

This explanation seemed reasonable and dispelled their suspicions.

Kunpeng was the forefather of the demon race, and the Beiming Sea was a sacred place for them.

Even though Kunpeng fell during the great ancient war between witches and demons, his legacy was undoubtedly meant for the demon race, and only they could break the seals of the Beiming Sea by working together.

“The matter of the Beiming Sea, I beseech all Daoist friends to keep it secret,” the North Sea Dragon King bowed deeply to the Demon Kings present.

“Dragon King, rest assured, as long as you can lead us into the Beiming Sea, I assure you that ten percent of the treasures found will belong to the North Sea Dragon Palace,” the Yinglong King offered generously.

Among the Demon Kings present, the Yinglong King had the strongest cultivation and largest influence.

All demons followed his lead, beating their chests in a promise to the North Sea Dragon King, warming the atmosphere significantly.

Ye Xuan’s brows were furrowed, his expression remained calm and unwavering, as if he was merely watching a grand performance unfold.

Although Ye Xuan’s cultivation time was brief, his mind was profoundly deep, and he had once been the Emperor Dongji of the Heavenly Court.

He did not believe a word from the North Sea Dragon King.

Firstly, Ao Shun, who rules the North Sea, is among the Immortal Class, and should he truly discover the Beiming Sea, he was obliged to report to the Heavenly Court, not to gather with a group of demons.

Secondly, the North Sea Dragon King did not have the guts to violate heavenly laws.

If the Heavenly Court discovered his gathering of demons to obtain the Kunpeng Inheritance, no one could save him.

Thirdly, and most importantly, although the North Sea Dragon King appeared extremely sincere in his words, Ye Xuan saw a tinge of urgency through the other’s eyes.

Despite the North Sea Dragon King’s good cover-up, he could not fool Ye Xuan’s Dharma Eye.

Of course, whatever the North Sea Dragon King’s motives were, Ye Xuan had no interest in finding out, nor did he care about the so-called Kunpeng Inheritance.

He had no intention of joining the group of demons to explore the Beiming Sea.”

Yes, that’s right, Ye Xuan had no interest whatsoever.

If he was interested at all, it would be more accurate to say he was far more intrigued by the several hundred Demon Kings present, especially the person known as Dragon King Ao Shun, who had already been marked for death by him.

Ye Xuan was a straightforward man, only convinced by visible benefits; those were the real advantages.

The so-called Kunpeng Inheritance was nothing but an illusion.

Enhancing one’s own cultivation was the only truth.

“Due to the utmost importance of the Kunpeng Inheritance, I propose that for the next ten years, nobody shall leave the North Sea Dragon Palace to prevent word from reaching the outside world.

After the decade is over, we should all enter the Beiming Sea together,” Dragon King Ao Shun declared with domineering authority.

“That’s right, Big Brother Ao Shun speaks the truth.”

“I, too, support this motion.”

“I agree with Big Brother Ao Shun’s proposal.”

Suddenly, the demons voiced their opinions one after another, while Ye Xuan and the others remained silently indifferent, prompting Dragon King Ao Shun to coldly sneer at Ye Xuan and say, “Daoist Kong Li, I am not unreasonable.

You previously took a treasure from Brother Huo Ya.

Return his treasure, and I shall not hold the past against you.”

There was a brief pause as Dragon King Ao Shun continued in a calmer voice, “However, now that Daoist Kong Li has come to the North Sea Dragon Palace and learned of the Kunpeng Inheritance news, it puts us in the same boat.

As long as you stay in your lane, when I obtain the Kunpeng Inheritance, naturally, you will not be left out of its benefits.”

A clear, naked threat!

Dragon King Ao Shun, a Daluo Realm Demon King, had felt from the moment Ye Xuan entered the North Sea Dragon Palace that Ye Xuan was not of the Daluo Realm, and consequently, he did not take Ye Xuan seriously.

Although rumors abounded that the Blood God King died at the hand of Kong Li, Dragon King Ao Shun merely scoffed with contempt, not believing such claims at all.

Even though he had little interaction with the Blood God King, he knew that the Blood God King was of the same realm as he was, both were Demon Kings of the Daluo First Layer Heaven.

How could the Blood God King fall to someone like Ye Xuan, a mere Luotian Golden Immortal?

The notion was utterly absurd.

But upon seeing Ye Xuan in person, Dragon King Ao Shun finally confirmed that Kong Li was indeed just a Luotian Golden Immortal.

Despite his aura being obscure and indistinct, it definitely was not of the Daluo Realm.

Clearly, there was something fishy about the Blood God King’s death.

In the end, Kong Li had benefited from the situation; it was just that the outside world had overestimated his cultivation level, and in reality, the man was falsely reputed.

Bang!

Suddenly, Daoist Huo Ya slapped the table in anger and glared at Ye Xuan, chastising him: “Kong Li, my elder brother is talking to you.

Are you deaf?”

“Daoist Kong Li, as the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances.

Your Heavenly Ridge might be a local hegemon in the Northern Continent, but it’s nothing compared to my Fallen Immortal Cave.

My elder brother is giving you face, so I hope you don’t push your luck,” the Zidian Demon King ominously chided.

“Kong Li, swiftly return Big Brother Huo Ya’s treasure, or don’t blame my Fallen Immortal Cave for not being courteous.”

An entire twelve Demon Kings abruptly stood up, each a Luotian Golden Immortal, evidently all brothers of Dragon King Ao Shun, holding tremendous animosity toward Ye Xuan.
