Chapter 1617 - 677: The Demon King Emerges

Chapter 1617: Chapter 677: The Demon King Emerges

Guangzi was completely stunned.

Did he mishear?

Demon King level!

How could there be a Demon King level expert appearing in the Lion Roar Hills!

Guangzi’s heart pounded like a drum. Wasn’t it said that there was an agreement between the Jiu Provinces Alliance and the two major demon kings of the Central Plains that as long as the Great Divine Power Realm martial artists of the Human Clan didn’t participate in demon hunting, the two major demon kings of the Demon Clan wouldn’t venture out?

But why, on such a deep night, would a demon king appear?

Having been with the Huangquan team for so long, Guangzi had gradually become familiar with the distribution of the demon clan in the Ancient Nine Provinces through osmosis.

Leaving aside the Demon World, there are two major demon kings in the Central Plains region of the Ancient Nine Provinces.

These two major demon kings are the Golden Horn Demon King and the Demon King Tongtian.

The true form of the Golden Horn Demon King is the Golden Horned King Rhinoceros, while the true form of the Demon King Tongtian is the Tongtian Demon Ape.

The figure in front of him now, with a shorter and stronger body compared to the usual robust size of the demon clan, and a horn on his head, was unmistakably the Golden Horn Demon King based on his features.

Earlier, when Di Shen was at the Tongtian Tribe, he had mentioned to Wuyue that the Golden Horn Demon King must have also learned about the Senluo Ghost Fruit King and would certainly send demon generals.

Di Shen guessed half right. The Golden Horn Demon King indeed knew, but instead of sending two demon generals, he personally, along with two demon generals, entered the Lion Roar Hills.

As a Demon King, personally taking action, the Golden Horn Demon King was determined to obtain the Senluo Ghost Fruit King this time.

The Golden Horn Demon King had already been hiding in ambush in this area for several days, yet all five teams were completely unaware of this.

Seeing the demon soldiers under the Golden Horn Demon King’s arrangement working swiftly, Guangzi quickly realized that the news of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King’s appearance must have been leaked.

Sister said the Senluo Ghost Fruit King is a treasure for the demon clan, especially for the strongest of the demon clan.

If they could consume a mature Senluo Ghost Fruit King, a Demon King level could directly reach the cultivation level of a Demon Emperor.

Faced with an opportunity to become a Demon Emperor, none of the Demon Kings of the Demon World would easily give up.

The Golden Horn Demon King must have come for the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.

No wonder, the Lion Roar Eagle Men hadn’t appeared these past two nights in the Lion Roar Hills.

Obviously, the Golden Horn Demon King didn’t want to reveal their whereabouts, so he chose this late hour when other teams were resting to stealthily plan and arrange.

They must be trying to ambush the camp when everyone is off guard.

Afterwards, they could use the Lion Roar Eagles to cover up the truth.

With the demon king in action, there would be at least hundreds of demon soldiers accompanying, including two demon generals in the lineup.

Though it might not compare to the earlier ambush on Fang Ah County in size, each of the soldiers here was several times stronger than those demon soldiers in Fang Ah County, capable of taking ten for one, without a doubt.

Guangzi’s hands and feet were cold; his Medical Essence Divine Needle could handle someone like Dongfang Liuli, a traitor to the Divine Realm, but if the opponent was Demon King level, he would be completely powerless.

Let alone him, even in the five teams, perhaps only Xi Jiuye could handle this Demon King.

But no matter what, Guangzi was unwilling to ask Xi Jiuye for help.

"This won’t do, I have to go back immediately and find a way to tell Sister and the others about this news."

Guangzi thought, moving his feet a few steps.

He happened to step on a dry branch on the ground.

The crack of the branch breaking was extremely subtle, but in the deep night, there wasn’t even the sound of insects around.

The sound reached the ears of the Golden Horn Demon King.

"Who’s there!"

Guangzi was startled, silently lamenting that tonight he might have to meet his end here.

The demon soldiers quickly closed in, and Guangzi secretly clenched his fists, thinking that he must fight to the death, and never fall into the hands of these demons.

"Do you think you can catch me?"

Just when Guangzi thought that he was doomed tonight, suddenly a figure moved faster than him, rushing ahead.

The newcomer was like a force of nature, wielding the fierce power of Reincarnation Gold, rising like a morning sun in the night sky.

Several demon soldiers were instantly killed.

Everyone, including the Golden Horn Demon King, focused their gaze on the newcomer.

"Big Fool?"

Guangzi’s body quivered slightly.

How could it be him? How did he run out?

Originally, after Guangzi distanced himself, Qin Xiaochuan waited for him in the camp for a long while, and when he didn’t return, Qin became worried.

Fearing something might have happened to Guangzi, he went searching for him.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the same demon ambush as Guangzi.

The moment Guangzi accidentally stepped on the branch, Qin Xiaochuan didn’t hesitate for a second and rushed ahead of him, breaking out.

His only thought was that it would be better for one person to be captured than two.

He absolutely couldn’t let Guangzi fall into the hands of these demons.

Even if it meant his death, he couldn’t allow Guangzi to suffer any harm.

After repelling several demon soldiers, without lingering in battle, Qin Xiaochuan gathered all his primordial power and ran wildly in the opposite direction.

At the moment of his turn, Guangzi saw Qin Xiaochuan shape his mouth, signaling him to flee quickly.

"It’s a Human Clan Demon Hunter, catch that kid!"

The Golden Horn Demon King, fearing their whereabouts being revealed, pursued closely with his soldiers.

Only after the demons had all gone did Guangzi come out of hiding.

He was dumbfounded, standing in the pitch-dark night, for a long, long time.

"Big Fool..."

Guangzi’s eyes were slightly prickly, feeling an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

Only then did he realize how much Qin Xiaochuan had come to mean to him.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely tell Sister and the rest. Big Fool, you must stay safe." Guangzi took a deep breath, though every part of him resisted, rationality told him that he couldn’t act rashly at this time, or else everyone would be dragged down, and all of Big Fool’s efforts would be in vain.

Right now, the most urgent thing is to inform everyone about the Golden Horn Demon King and ensure the protection of the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, for if the Ghost Fruit King were stolen, the entire Central Plains region could fall into endless slaughter.

Guangzi didn’t know where Ye Lingyue was currently, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to find Bo Qing and the others first, quickly heading towards the camp.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingyue was in the Hong Meng Heaven, unaware that a crisis was approaching.

"Damn Xi Jiuye, one day I will destroy you."

Ye Lingyue stood by the Rainbow River, repeatedly washing with the Rainbow Water.

She wished she could scrub a layer of skin off wherever Jiu Ye had touched her.

After washing clean, Ye Lingyue’s mood slightly calmed down.

"Huh? The Rainbow River Water seems to be clear again."

Ye Lingyue looked at the reflection in the water; earlier, due to the lack of Hong Meng Heavenly Spiritual Energy, the river water had become muddy.

Now, looking again, the Rainbow River shimmered with five vibrant colors, regaining its former clarity. Could this be the effect after the fifth Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragment was absorbed by the cauldron spirit?
