Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 790 - 727: Entering the All Things Path through the Path of Ghosts and Gods

Chapter 790: Chapter 727: Entering the All Things Path through the Path of Ghosts and Gods

"We three brothers are truly supreme demons!"

At this moment, Baili Niezhen couldn’t help but quietly remind them, "Master, among the Twelve Superior Demons of the All Things Path, there indeed is a supreme demon positioned as the Three Lizard Brothers, their combat prowess is weak, but they truly are among the Twelve Superior Demons!"

Hearing this, Zhang San looked puzzled, and while walking along with the Three Lizard Brothers, he asked with curiosity, "Could you guys explain a bit about what this is all about?"

Zhang San had just learned from White Deer and Ji Diao that ascending positions within the All Things Path was primarily based on combat power.

And then he immediately encountered three beings who together counted as one supreme demon.

Yet even combined, their combat power didn’t seem strong.

Zhang San even felt that the Three Lizard Brothers had only just reached the Spiritual Platform Realm.

This was way too absurd!

"Human race, then let us properly tell you the story of us three brothers..."

As the Three Lizard Brothers began to narrate, Zhang San simply picked them up and placed them on Hu’s back.

After all, constantly looking down was also tiring.

Under the moonlight, a few of them arrived at the peak of a tall mountain.

Although this place was easy to be noticed by other members of the Demon Clan, since Zhang San had already demonstrated his strength, no other demons dared to approach for the time being.

Zhang San took out some food, and while eating with everyone, listened to the Three Lizard Brothers recount their story.

"It turns out our three brothers also have a tough fate, in Longyou Road, there has always been a tradition of praying for rain with lizards..."[注133]

During the narration, Zhang San learned.

Originally, they were just different lizards.

However, once during a rain prayer, a cage full of lizards was captured, and many lizards died of thirst, leaving only them three brothers.

Fortunately, it finally rained then.

Thus, they three were regarded as rain gods by the locals.

Later, even other people who prayed for rain began to offer sacrifices to the three brothers.

So, from ordinary lizards, they stepped onto the Path of Ghosts and Gods, and became demons with cultivation.

Moreover, the three brothers even gained the power to call the wind and summon the rain.

Since then, the three brothers began to help the human race with rain on Longyou Road, thus obtaining the human’s belief and offerings, and gained more Power of Incense Flame.

Then, their rain-calling abilities also became stronger.

At this point, Zhang San was completely gobsmacked.

Zhang San widened his eyes and asked the Three Lizard Brothers, "So, you mean, as long as people believe in your abilities, you then gain these abilities?"

The Three Lizard Brothers suddenly looked at each other, then someone nodded, someone shook their head, and someone looked bewildered.

"So, you three also don’t know how you got the ability to bring rain?"

After Zhang San asked this question, the Three Lizard Brothers all nodded.

Clearly, they also didn’t know exactly what was going on, they just clumsily stepped onto the path of cultivation, and then entered the Path of Ghosts and Gods to become demons.

"Then how did you three become supreme demons?"

Zhang San knew, this way of cultivating through the Power of Incense Flame was typical of the Path of Ghosts and Gods, how did it happen that demons were able to ascend as supreme demons of the All Things Path through this path?

"We three later saved a descendant of the Thousand-Eyed Rat King. Then, in gratitude, the Rat King introduced us to the Master of All Things. The Dominant then granted us the position of supreme demons."

At this point, Zhang San was utterly dumbfounded.

"If you three were to become War Gods, wouldn’t you be invincible?"

Zhang San looked at the Three Lizard Brothers in shock and envy.

However, the Three Lizard Brothers quite rarely shook their heads at the same time.

"Actually, we had tried this method before, but since everyone knows the three of us can only make it rain, no one believes that we brothers have strong combat abilities. Thus, when the demons see the three of us, they always feel there’s a chance to rise to a higher position."

Zhang San finally understood why the Three Lizard Brothers were being pursued.

Being supreme demons with an extremely high status but weak combat abilities, they were just waiting to be killed by other demons if they went outside.

Zhang San could not help but advise, "Since you three are supreme demons, I think it’s safer to stay indoors."

The Three Lizard Brothers felt quite helpless.

"Originally, we were supposed to go drink with Niu Mo today."

"This drinking plan was made a long time ago."

"Exactly, exactly."

"But who could have expected Niu Mo’s Lady didn’t know Niu Mo had been secretly keeping a mistress outside."

"Everyone knew about it, it makes no sense that Niu Mo’s Lady didn’t know!"

"Exactly, exactly."

"Then, while we were drinking, we accidentally let slip about it."

"After it slipped out, Niu Mo’s Lady got angry. Can you blame us for that?"

"Exactly, exactly."

"In the end, the three of us and Niu Mo were all driven out. Brother Niu Mo could only leave Demons Cloud Cave and go to the mistress at Spring Rain Pond."

"We three followed behind Brother Niu Mo, but with somewhat short legs, so we walked slowly and couldn’t keep up, and then we ran into these demons who chased us as if playing with our lives."

"Exactly, exactly."

Listening to this, Zhang San asked, "This Brother Niu Mo, he must be one of the Twelve Superior Demons, right?"

"You know him too?"

"Who doesn’t know him at Longyou Road!"

"Exactly, exactly."

Zhang San smiled softly and said, "Although you three are supreme demons, this journey to Spring Rain Pond seems fraught with danger. How about letting me escort you there? Rest assured, I, Zhang San, Deputy Chief of the Town Demon Office, am definitely not a bad person."

"If you were a bad person, you would have attacked us already."

"Helping us three alone is enough proof that you are a good person."

"Exactly, exactly."

Thus, the Three Lizard Brothers led the way, while Zhang San and his companions protected them, escorting them to near Spring Rain Pond.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang San. Although we have little contact with people from the Town Demon Office, I must say, you are truly a good person."

"We three brothers will remember this kindness!"

"Exactly, exactly."

"Here’s a small gift, a token of our appreciation. It was given to us by our friend, the Thousand-Eyed Rat King, back in the day."

"We’re passing this item on to you today. If you encounter any trouble on Longyou Road, you can go to the tree hollow right at the center of Thousand Pine Mountain, and this whisker will let you meet the Thousand-Eyed Rat King and seek his help."

"Exactly, exactly."

Zhang San originally wanted to get to know Niu Mo’s residence through the Three Lizard Brothers, to make it easier to meet Niu Mo later.

But he never expected to gain such an unexpected benefit.

"Rest assured, Mr. Zhang San, the Thousand-Eyed Rat King is also very easy to get along with."

"I believe you too will become good friends."

"Exactly, exactly."
