Chapter 466: Army of Demon Monarch

Demon Palace.

The wolf king is one of the seven demon kings of the Southern Land, and he ruled the area north of the Southern Land. Within a mere 800 years, he had cultivated to turn from a little demon to the twelfth-level demon king he was now. His talents were rather extraordinary. So he took the area north of the Southern Land, closest to humans. Because of the spirit river, cultivators of the world was never able to cross into Southern Land. Besides, demon beasts had their own demonic aura, which could expel the Five Elements spirit qi of the spirit river, so the spirit river posed no threat to demon beasts, allowing them to come and go freely. Therefore, this became a natural safe shelter for them.

The closer an area was to the spirit river, the more the demon beasts liked to live there, as it allowed them to go out and hunt cultivators and mortals freely, and hide back behind the spirit river if higher-level cultivators pursued them.

But just because of this, there were no humans at all for several kilometers around the spirit river. Not even higher-level cultivators came near it unless they had to. To be able to eat more human meat full of spirit qi, and improve their cultivation faster, the demon clan made a beast tide every once a while, leading the crowd of demons to hunt in areas further away. The time in which they made the beast tide was inconsistent, such that they would hit humans unexpected. And today was the day of a beast tide.

This time, the Demon King’s target is an immortal city several kilometers away. They had long known that the immortal city was populous, and most were cultivators. If they could catch a few Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be able to help him ascend to the thirteenth level.

At first, he didn’t dare to attack an immortal city. But recently, he got the news that two Soul Formation cultivators who used to be in charge of its defense suddenly left the city in a hurry, bringing with them more than half of the Nascent Soul cultivators. Without the Soul Formation cultivators, it would be more than easy for them to attack the city. It was a chance given by heaven.

The wolf king seemed to already see the day in which he rises to the thirteenth level and become the sole King of All Demons in the Southern Land. The wolf king had gathered tens of thousands of demons long ago. And he had agreed with three eleventh-level beast kings nearby to lead the beasts out of the Southern Land and into human habitat once the exact timing was confirmed.

But before they could agree on the exact time of attack, a small demon rushed into the audience hall in panic, interrupting their conversation.

“Your majesty, it’s… it’s no good! It’s no good!” The small demon was running very hurriedly, his face full of horror. His footsteps were so unstable that he tripped and fell on the ground.

“Stop this crying!” The wolf king stared at the small demon, irritated. “Didn’t I demand no disruption when I discuss affairs with fellow beast kings?”

“It’s… it’s not that, your majesty! Something… has happened!” The small demon was even more flurried. His whole demon body huddled on the ground, trembling slightly.

“It’d better be important, or I will eat you!” The demon king released suppression threateningly.

The small demon shook even more severely, and as though in memory of something horrible, his pointed to the outside and said, “Some… some cultivators… had broken in!”

“Human cultivators have broken in!” The wolf king was stunned for a second, and then he started laughing wildly. “Hahahaha… There are actually cultivators who are not afraid of death and dare to come into Southern Land. Good coming!” He looked joyful, not caring about what the small demon said at all. “Let me eat them as a sacrifice to our flag, before we attack the immortal city!” As he talked, he licked his sharp teeth, as though he had already tasted meat. He said to that small demon, “Tell me, where is the person now? Is he still near the spirit river?”

“No… no!” The small demon went all pale. “They… are already outside the palace.”

“Hmph. They have some abilities then.” The wolf king snorted coldly. “But they didn’t come at a good time. It happens to be when I’m counting my troops. There are tens of thousands of my demon army outside. He won’t be able to escape even if he has wings.”

“Your… your majesty, the demon army is already… already gone!” The small demon trembled like candlelit in the wind.

“What do you mean gone?” The wolf king was stupefied, not understanding his meaning.

“The tens of thousands of demon army… not one… not one was left!”

“What! I just checked on them a quarter of an hour ago. How can they be all gone?”

“Really! They… they are all killed by those… those cultivators.”

“Nonsense!” The demon king waved a hand, sending a wind blade which sent the small demon flying across the room. He stood up angrily, not caring anymore about the demon kings beside them, and walked straight out of the audience hall. “I have to see what kind of human cultivator can scare you out of your mind to think that he can stop my demon army!”

With that said, he casually deactivated the soundproofing spell in the audience hall, and stepped out directly. The demonic aura all over his body was released completely, as he shouted “WHO IS BOLD ENOUGH TO COME… OUCH!!!”

Before he finished the sentence, a gigantic demon beast suddenly fell from the sky, and it slammed his whole demon body underneath.

Before he could react, a flash of sword light fell right after. And with a flash, something pierced directly, like a nail through the body of the demon, as well as the demon king underneath…

After that… there was nothing more.

The three beast kings who followed the demon monarch out, “…”

In a split second their faces turned completely pale. They looked up at the sky subconsciously, and only saw that amidst the sky full of sword aura, two strange white figures descended slowly, bringing with them a horrifying suppression, overwhelming them like a flood.

The three beast kings trembled together, and then they kneeled down together as fast as lightning.

“Spare our lives, Great Immortal! We are sorry!”

Lonemoon and Yi Qing were stunned for a second before they reached the ground, their feet stepping on the demon corpse before the audience hall by chance. Yi Qing paid no heed to those beast kings, as he drew out his spirit sword from the body casually.

Lonemoon smiled at the three, “You can transform into human shape. Eleventh-grade demon beasts, I suppose?”

“Yes indeed… Great Immortal!” The three trembled.

“Then are you all the demon monarch ruling this place?”

“No, no… we aren’t! We aren’t!” The three shook their heads rapidly.

“Where is the demon monarch then?”

“…” The three faces paled, and their looks dropped together to the space underneath their feet. Their looks were immensely horrified!

Only then did the two realize that something was wrong. They exchanged a look and leaped from the back of the beast. Yi Qing directly grabbed its tail and flipped it over, and he was stunned immediately. “Hey, why is there another one underneath?” He didn’t see it just now!

A wolf demon two meters long was pressed under the gigantic beast. Its breathing had already stopped, and his body was flattened. Seems that the meat can’t be cooked. What a pity!

“This… is the demon monarch?” Lonemoon was stunned.

(⊙_⊙)

The three beast kings nodded together like chicks pecking grains.

“Er…”

How incapable is this! That he died before entering the scene! They had previously planned a friendly bi-racial talk with it to solve their matters of food, housing and transportation in the Southern Land! Who were they supposed to talk with now?

“What now?” Yi Qing put away his sword and asked.

The corner of Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. What else could they do? The leader had died. They came in vain.

He looked down at the wolf demon dead on the ground. Though it had already died, there was still a strong blood smell and grievous energy around him, which didn’t dissipate after a long time. One couldn’t imagine how many people he had eaten, to have such thick grievous energy. As compared to the totally clean rabbit in the past, this demon king was far worse!
