Chapter 2830 - 85: Three Evil Tribulation Monarch

Chapter 85: The Three Evil Tribulation Monarch, Query of the Malice Plot

The Shenshao Bureau is such a grand scheme.

Because it has boundless possibilities, it carries infinite expectations.

The competitors are not limited to the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.

But throughout the ages!

Some Heavenly Demons competed in Mo Yun City, with Mi Zhiben and Master Xingnian playing against each other for five hundred years.

Even He Huating made his move across time!

Clearly, he has never abandoned the idea of continuing the myth. He failed back then, but set the game in time, waiting till today to continue!

Now, he has announced the "rules of the game," the dead Eternal Youth Spring, waiting to verify truth, judge life and death.

Yet this inexplicable question and answer game, does merely speaking truth suffice?

Amongst the talents present, who doesn’t harbor secrets deep within their hearts? Can these truths really be spoken openly?

The question fell onto Xiong Sansi.

He must answer, cannot speak falsely.

All the monsters cast their gazes.

No one wouldn’t be curious about Xiong Sansi, although he’s listed on the Heavenly List, already quite renowned, in the Purple Wu Hills virtually a household name. Yet what the outside world knows about him is still scant.

His true face hidden beneath the mask, the worries under the black robe, the past he refuses to mention... still often exists in street gossip, but no one can say clearly.

Their shared status as talents within this plot, as competitors and companions.

Curious about Xiong Sansi’s true face, curious about what reaction if he violates the rules.

No one present is blind, no one fails to see He Huating’s weakness, nor his ill intentions.

But once the Shenshao Bureau’s player and still the player, none would rashly wager their life to test He Huating’s hand.

Now everyone awaits Xiong Sansi’s answer.

And he didn’t remain silent long,

He said: "The place I emerged from is called the Thousand Tribulations Cave."

"Never heard of such a place in the Monster Realm..." He Huating slowly looked to Zhu Lanruo: "This young girl seems so knowledgeable, has she heard of it?"

Cannot speak falsely.

Zhu Lanruo shook her head: "Unaware."

Xiong Sansi continued: "The ruling existence there is named Three Evil Tribulation Monarch."

"The world changes, each era produces the strong. My ignorance is far from unusual." He Huating looked again at Yang Yu: "Little monk, do you know this monarch?"

Yang Yu said: "Unaware."

"Peculiar indeed," He Huating remarked, then asked: "What is the Thousand Tribulations Cave like?"

Again focusing on Xiong Sansi, persisting: "What... are you?"

Xiong Sansi didn’t reply at once, instead stepped forward and countered: "No permanent evil laws exist; Elder He, by what standard do you question me, how many questions can I be asked?"

This appears to be a critical question.

And He Huating looked deeply at him, surprisingly gave an answer: "If I can no longer ask, you will know yourself."

Zhu Lanruo’s gaze darted like a rainbow, Lu Qilang pressed a finger to his brow. No genius wishes the named result, nor like Xiong Sansi, in utter ignorance, be the answer testing the game’s dangers. Each strives in their way to discern the game’s full rules.

But as a participant, Xiong Sansi must provide an answer.

Thus he said: "I wasn’t born in the Thousand Tribulations Cave. Many here know my past story."

He Huating’s ghostly gaze swept over, Shujia Lan nodded slightly.

Xiong Sansi’s family destroyed, self cast from a high cliff by enemy, cultivation achieved then returned for revenge... indeed, such a story is known among monsters present.

After all, a very legendary tale, well-suited for telling.

"When I fell there, all consciousness was lost. Upon waking, I was in the Thousand Tribulations Cave." Xiong Sansi said: "I can’t say how vast it is, having never explored it fully.

It’s a gigantic labyrinth, inside are chambered cells.

Each chamber three strides square, only one tightly shut iron door. For a long time, there was my living place.

What kind of place is it?

How should I describe it?"

Xiong Sansi’s voice often grates on the listener’s ears, but at this moment if you truly listen, you’ll find he torments himself too.

Too painful.

What did he endure, for such a distressing voice?

"I can’t give an exact definition to the Thousand Tribulations Cave; I can only describe what I know."

Xiong Sansi said: "I’m not alone as a prisoner there. It holds Demons, the Human Race, even the Demon Race."

He Huating’s eyes like two ghostly embers, silently listening to his tale.

Other demons were drawn in by his story.

"Why would the Three Evil Tribulation Monarch gather us there?"

For the first time, Xiong Sansi’s rough voice took on a lively tone.

He himself gave the answer: "To breed us like grafted plants!"

"Breed" is inherently a positive term.

Yet placed in this context, within that mysterious Thousand Tribulations Cave, it becomes incredibly sinister.

No unconstrained human or demon is without wisdom’s spirit, emotions, and culture, how can they be treated as grafted plants?

"You ask what I am..."

Xiong Sansi used his finger like a dagger, slicing down his left shoulder, revealing bone-like arm armor, with intricate patterns.
