Chapter 323: Chapter 343 I Understood
“`
West State.
Within the dilapidated ancient city.
The sky swarmed with demon clouds, blocking out the sun, as a huge figure loomed, vaguely emerging from within.
And on the streets of the dilapidated city.
Chu Yuan stood proudly, surrounded by a golden glow, his head raised towards the firmament, showing no hint of fear.
The sky was obscured by demon clouds, while the ground was encircled with golden light.
Both sides seemed to be in a standoff.
After a long silence, Chu Yuan slowly lifted his head. He was weighing up whether he should throw a ring of light up there to see if that would annihilate whatever was in the sky.
After much thought.
He decided to check out what kind of system template this person had first.
As Chu Yuan maintained the standoff, he activated the system template.
A deep blue screen instantly coalesced before his eyes.
[Investigation Target: Qingyi]
[Race: Demon—Bloodthirsty Azure Bat]
[Cultivation Level: Tribulation Realm]
[Physique: Spirit of Wondrous Talent, Bloodthirsty Physique]
[Assessment: This monster, blessed with natural talent among the Demon Race, possesses dual physiques and robust bloodlines, ranking among the Demon Kings. It is already accomplished. If the host takes it as an apprentice, it can be considered a direct success. Host, please do not make a mistake.]
Tribulation Realm??
He naturally ignored the rest of the template, especially after seeing that assessment about taking an apprentice being a direct success, completely omitting the rest.
Suddenly, Chu Yuan really wanted to try if his ring of light could kill a being from the Tribulation Realm.
Should he give it a try?
Chu Yuan was intrigued.
He slowly extended his palm from the wide sleeve of his robe. The surrounding golden light particles rapidly converged with his will.
Just as he was about to throw the ring of light.
A mighty voice came down from the sky.
“Sect Master, spare my life!!!!”
This voice came thundering down.
It startled Chu Yuan, making him think some fearsome ghost or god was about to unleash an attack, and he almost threw the ring of light he had readied.
He looked up.
And saw clusters of dark purple mist descending.
Once the mist had settled on the ground, a figure walked out from within.
It was none other than the Qingyi Demon King.
The Qingyi Demon King quickly approached Chu Yuan, panic-stricken.
“Chu… Sect Master Chu graces us with his presence, I… I have come personally to welcome you. Please do not take offense, Sect Master Chu. I had no intention of provoking you, it was just an accidental display of grandeur. I had no intention of challenging you!”
The Qingyi Demon King bowed his head, his heart pounding.
He was genuinely afraid of being blamed by the figure before him.
If he were to be cut down with a single slash, he would die wronged.
It was these concerns.
That made the Qingyi Demon King hasten his words, all the while ready to flee at a moment’s notice.
Upon hearing this.
Chu Yuan visibly paused for a moment.
This wasn’t someone looking for trouble with him??
It was instead…
Coming to welcome him?
Chu Yuan was then taken aback.
To think he had assumed the other party was there because of the destruction his earlier ring of light had wrought upon the city, seeking to trouble him.
Now, listening to the Qingyi Demon King’s explanation.
It seemed he was under the impression that he was the East State Hidden Sect Master and had come to pay respects?
Speaking of the East State Hidden Sect, Chu Yuan came up with an idea.
“`
In the past, they from the Wayless Sect always mingled under the guise of being from an East State Hidden Sect, which essentially guaranteed they had offended the actual East State Hidden Sects.
It would be better if, the next time he returned to East State, he took advantage of his Invincible State to wipe out that East State Hidden Sect. Then, their memories would logically adjust, and they would become the true East State Hidden Sect.
Chu Yuan considered this feasible and silently took note of it.
However, the pressing matter was to drive away the Monster at the Tribulation Transcending Stage in front of him and to find his Disciple first.
“Welcome me? There’s no need.”
“Which faction’s Demon are you? Is this city under your protection?”
With his hands clasped behind his back, Chu Yuan spoke nonchalantly.
“Sect Master Chu, I am the Demon King from the Qingyi Demon King’s territory around West State Green Awe Mountain. This city is no man’s land; it is not under my protection!”
The Qingyi Demon King, seeing that Chu Yuan did not seem to take offense, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Demon King, huh… Right, what was it you said about someone ‘should die’? I seem to recall hearing you shout that just now.”
Chu Yuan sized up the situation and, looking up at the Qingyi Demon King, spoke.
“No!! No!! Sect Master Chu, I wasn’t talking about you!”
The Qingyi Demon King, scared out of his wits, vehemently denied it.
“Why do I get the feeling you’re trying to ‘hide three hundred taels of silver here’?”
Chu Yuan stroked his chin, eyeing the Qingyi Demon King from top to bottom.
“What ‘hide three hundred taels of silver here’? I didn’t, I haven’t, I don’t know anything about it! Truly, Sect Master Chu, I wasn’t speaking about you, I was only chasing a Monster. It just fled to this area, and that’s when I made a peep. But then I noticed you, Sect Master Chu, and came immediately.”
The Qingyi Demon King insisted.
“Chasing a Monster? Then, upon seeing me, you came to meet me? So, where’s the Monster?”
Chu Yuan’s response was indifferent.
“The Monster… of course it ran away.”
The Qingyi Demon King said through gritted teeth.
“So it seems I’ve delayed you, have I?”
Chu Yuan touched his chin, speaking slowly.
“No, not at all! Having the honor of meeting Sect Master Chu is more important than anything else; there’s no talk of delay!”
The Qingyi Demon King performed a bow, saying so stubbornly.
“Delay is delay; no need for so much fuss. Tell me, in which direction did this imaginary Monster flee? I will take care of it for you!”
Chu Yuan waved his hand as he spoke.
He looked up towards the Firmament, outwardly calm and composed, but inwardly he was secretly elated.@@novelbin@@
It wasn’t easy for him to finally have a turn to show off. It was quite a challenge.
Previously he had watched his Disciples put on airs one by one.
Finally, fortune smiled upon him, allowing him, someone named Chu, the opportunity to shine.
Whatever the case, he had to display an ‘Invincible’ front in the presence of this Demon King.
“Flee… in which direction??”
The Qingyi Demon King’s face stiffened, unsure of what to say.
He had blurted something out without thinking, having no idea about the direction.
But observing Chu Yuan’s silent demeanor,
His mind raced, and suddenly he had an epiphany.
Considering Sect Master Chu’s abilities, how could he not know that he was lying?
The insistence of Sect Master Chu on the direction was not really about the Monster; it was…
Sect Master Chu wanted the Tiger Clan Demon King, who was insolent during the council, dead.
He wanted a reason to slay the Tiger Clan Demon King, yet he had no good excuse.
Sect Master Chu had come to West State precisely to find an excuse to eliminate the Tiger Clan Demon King.
When Sect Master Chu spoke of the Monster’s escape direction, he was actually asking for the location of the Tiger Clan Demon King, intending to take the opportunity to execute that Demon King!
Yes! That had to be it!
Sect Master Chu, I understand!
The Qingyi Demon King’s eyes suddenly sparkled.
It meant that Sect Master Chu harbored no real killing intent towards him, only requiring the whereabouts of that Tiger.
“Sect Master Chu!! He is in the Western Region! More precisely, a bit south of there. Yes, that’s the direction. The nature of that Monster, it usually lurkes in a forest area there. Just one move from you, Sect Master Chu, and you’ll surely flatten it…”
