The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 437 The Foundation of the Demon Clan

The innkeeper ran very fast with other two demons. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at a long distance. However, her running route was not straight, but S-shaped. During the running, the demon jackal fell down several times.

However, Li Ye still admired them very much. Since they could run, they were not very weak. For Li Ye, standing was very struggling. After sitting down, he was still dizzy and felt uncomfortable no matter what he did.

Wu You didn’t go far, and her running posture was no better than that of the three demons. She stumbled all the way. While she was running, dust and stones flew in all directions and big holes appeared one after another. People who knew the situation knew that she was pursuing the demons, and those who didn’t know the situation would think that she was demolishing the road. Therefore, Li Ye called her back.

Li Ye leaned against the courtyard wall to breathe. Although the courtyard had collapsed, there were still several intact sections of the courtyard wall. He looked at You Daxiao and said, “Why don’t you go after them?”

You Daxiao said, “I’m mainly afraid that it won’t be long for me to chase after them before they chase after me.”

This was true indeed. Even if the three demons were in a bad state, they were still more powerful than You Daxiao with the cultivation of Spiritual Master Realm.

Wu You ran back so heavily that the ground shook and Li Ye almost fell. She was still angry, and her face was as red as a red apple. “These demons are so hateful. Next time I see them, I must give them a good beating!”

Li Ye thought what Wu You said was reasonable. As soon as they arrived at the territory of the demon clan, they became so embarrassed and didn’t have a good sleep. Although the other side was also embarrassed, it was an internecine end at most. The beginning was terrible. If they met each other next time, Li Ye also thought it was necessary to give them a lesson.

Seeing that Li Ye agreed with her, the Duchess was very happy. She ran to Li Ye and continued to stroke his back to make him feel better.

“Do you know that calabash gourd? It’s said that even Taiyi Real Immortal can be trapped by it. Is it true?” Li Ye asked You Daxiao after he recovered. If it was true, this magic treasure must be indeed very good. After all, the demon fox was only at the Sky Immortal Realm.

You Daxiao sat on the ground and said, “It’s a storage calabash gourd, which is very common in the demon clan. Generally, it has two effects. One is to carry a house with you. Wherever you go, you don’t have to worry about the place to rest. The other is to trap the enemy. Even if the opponent is highly cultivated, once they are trapped by the calabash gourd, they can only die as long as the owner is not in the calabash gourd. It’s hard to say whether Taiyi Real Immortal will be trapped, but people at the Real Immortal Realm can be trapped easily.”

Li Ye nodded, showing that he understood.

“It seems that the demon fox was really ready to sleep with me.” Li Ye thought in his mind. If not, why did she still stay in the calabash gourd when Li Ye and others were all trapped by it? If she wanted to kill Li Ye and others to steal money, she could come out first and set them on fire. Then Li Ye and others would be in big trouble.

And in terms of security, the latter was better. After all, in that case, You Daxiao would not find the calabash gourd and shake it and they would not vomit, either.

“She’s really possessed by sex!” Li Ye sighed.

All of sudden, he had no sense of security. In the mortal world, there was no woman like the demon fox. Even if there were, they dared not do anything. But now they were in the territory of the demon clan, where there were many female demons. They were not constrained by etiquette. It was normal for them to force men.

Li Ye thought it necessary to change his face. After all, his face was too handsome now.

Then an idea suddenly crossed Li Ye’s mind. “Does the beautiful mortal woman feel unsafe while walking outside, just like me now?”

“Those ugly don’t need to worry about themselves. They are safe.”

Wu You was stunned for a moment when she heard Li Ye’s exclamation. She stopped stroking Li Ye’s back and asked while looking at him suspiciously, “Did the innkeeper do anything to you?”

Li Ye said seriously, “She wanted to kill me, but failed.”

“Of course she would fail. No one can kill you.”

Although the courtyard had collapsed, Li Ye and others did not leave. They picked up some dry firewood and broken wood, and set up a bonfire in the yard, ready to continue their journey when it was dawn. The experience in this inn made Li Ye dare not to be careless. Walking at night was not a good choice.

The inn was built near the mountain. The peaks of the two-thousand-year-old mountain rose one higher than the other and some were more than three thousand meters high, looking quite magnificent.

On a rock in front of an ancient pinecone at the top of a hill more than 90 miles away from the courtyard stood a man in a black cloak. The curved moon behind him outlined his figure, making him look more dignified and like a mountain.

The innkeeper, together with the demon wolf and the demon jackal, ran all the way and dared not rest on the way. Soon, they arrived at here.

Although Li Ye and others did not chase them, Wu You’s momentum was too frightening. They haven’t seen any cultivators shake the ground and leave many big holes on the road while running.

She looked so small.

The three demons were sweating and gasping after crossing the forest and arriving at the top of the mountain, especially the demon wolf and the demon jackal. They had already turned into their original appearance, a wolf and a jackal. Now there were so many branches and leaves hanging on their hair, making them look like two wild demons.

When the man saw their appearance, his face was a little strange. His eyes finally fell on the demon wolf and the demon jackal, and couldn’t stand the sight of their embarrassment. He said, “Look at yourselves, you are so embarrassed!”

The demon wolf and the demon jackal looked at each other and were speechless.

The innkeeper sat down on the rock to rest and said unpleasantly, “It’s all because of your good idea. I have never seen a father frame his son like that.”

The man glanced at the innkeeper and said indifferently, “I just asked you to scare them and test Li Ye’s ability by the way to see if he has the quality to achieve great works. Why did you make up your own mind and want Li Ye to test your sexuality? You can’t shift the blame to me.”

Hearing that, the innkeeper blushed. Then she turned around and retorted, “Your arrangement is not good at all. You asked the demon wolf to kill a sheep silently and cut its head. Does that can frighten people? And the pile of bones you buried in the grove in the backyard is the biggest failure! That’s why we’re exposed!”

The man coughed twice awkwardly and said seriously, “Actually, I thought that when the demon wolf and the demon jackal gave Li Ye enough pressure, he would be suspicious. Then, he would be led to find the buried human bones and be more afraid. After that, when you made some noise at night, he would run away in horror...”

The innkeeper sniffed and said, “So you can be sure that Li Ye is useless and can’t lead the demon clan to success?”

“I’m testing him,” said the man seriously.

The innkeeper sneered and said, “You just made us lose face in front of him! If he thinks that the demons are all unwise and our plan is low-level, you will be despised!”

The man was so embarrassed that he became angry and shouted, “Whatever, it’s better than your self-assertion! I didn’t expect that you would tempt him and be pointed at your throat by a sword in the end. What’s more, I’m the Great Sage of Demon Clan, how can you talk to me like that?”

The innkeeper laughed at him and said, “Like son, like father. Your son acted like what you acted just now when he entered the inn.”

“Nonsense!” The man was furious. “It’s like father, like son, not like son, like father!”

The innkeeper did not want to pay attention to him anymore. She turned to appreciate the scenery.

Not surprisingly, she saw the bonfire in the yard.

In the thousands of miles of barren darkness, that small and weak bonfire was the most dazzling existence.

The innkeeper knew who was there without being told.

The demon wolf and the demon jackal were sitting beside the stone and gently picking branches and leaves from each other’s hair in silence. The atmosphere was harmonious. They ignored the innkeeper’s confrontation with the man, as if they were the only two left in the world.

“In any case, you ruined my plan, and now you have to make up for it,” said the man stiffly.

“You want me to deal with Li Ye again? No way! Was I not embarrassed enough?” The demon fox was also angry. She failed to lure Li Ye and was chased by his companion. How could she go back?!

The man hummed and said, “After leaving Lingyun Canyon, they will enter the territory of Macaque King, the Great Sage Tongfeng. As you know, the fucking monkey is on bad terms with the stone monkey in Huaguo Mountain. Because both of them are monkeys, he likes to compete with the stone monkey when he’s free. But he failed every time, so he is angry and resentful.”

“This time, the stone monkey advocated that Li Ye should be allowed to enter the territory of demon clan. Although he and the Lion Camel King could not oppose in front of the stone monkey, they must have bad intentions in secret. Li Ye will finally go to the Demon King’s Palace at the Seven Sages Mountain to break the seal made by the Immortal Court for the demon clan. So he must get the key of the Seven Sages Mountain and open the seven gates all the way to successfully pass the seven magic formations and enter the innermost place of the Demon King’s Palace. Otherwise, with his current cultivation, how can he bear the attack of the formation in the Demon King’s Palace?”

When the man talked about this matter, the innkeeper grew interested. These were all secrets. She was still young and only about 800 years old. Besides, she was not highly cultivated and had only reached the Sky Immortal Realm. She was not qualified to know these things.

She then asked curiously, “What’s there in the Demon King’s Palace in the Seven Sages Mountain? Besides, since Li Ye is here to help the demon clan, why didn’t you just give him the key? Can Lion Camel King and Macaque King deal with five of you? You can ask them to hand over the key!”

The man raised his chin and said proudly, “This is a secret. You do not have the right to know.”

The innkeeper turned around and angrily said, “Then I will not go to Li Ye again even if I will be killed!”

When he heard that, the man’s face stiffened. Seeing that the demon fox was resolute, he had to compromise. He coughed twice and said slowly, “You really don’t have the right to know the details about this matter, but I can tell you that the foundation of our demon clan, the Great Formation of Sky Stars and the Chaos Clock, is in the Demon King’s Palace!”

Hearing that, the demon fox exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth, eyes widened. “You mean the Great Formation of Sky Stars, the supreme immortal weapon we owned when the demon clan was the master of the Immortal Court, and the Chaos Clock, the magic treasure of Emperor Taiyi who was the king of the Immortal Court at that time?”

The demon wolf and the demon jackal also stopped tidying each other and turned around to look at the man in surprise.

The man hummed and said proudly, “In the battle between the demon clan and the Wu Tribe, our Great Formation of Sky Stars broke the Great Formation of Twelve Gods of the Wu Tribe. However, Emperor Taiyi died during the war and human rose. So the demon clan was forced to withdraw from the Immortal Court. But the Great Formation of Sky Stars and the Chaos Clock are the halidom of our demon clan, and the biggest dependence for us to return to our former glory. Thanks to Founder Kunpeng’s desperate protection, they were not ruined!”

The demon fox said curiously, “Then why are they put in the Demon King’s Palace in the Seven Sages Mountain?”

The man was interrupted and gave a dissatisfied look at the demon fox. Finally, his momentum weakened and he said, “Because they are banned by the Immortal Court, and cannot be used.”

The demon fox was speechless.

The explanation made it impossible for her to go on.

The man said, “The biggest suppression the Immortal Court has done to the demon clan is the seal to the flags needed to open the Great Formation of Sky Stars and the Chaos Clock. Compared with that, all other kinds of secret methods the Immortal Court used to deal with the demon clan are insignificant.”

“However, the Immortal Court can’t destroy the flags and the Chaos Clock. Besides, without demon power, they can’t use the two halidoms, so they can only seal them. In order to prevent them from being taken away by the Immortal Court, Founder Kunpeng of the demon clan built the Demon King’s Palace at the Seven Sages Mountain to protect them before he died. When the time comes, the demon clan can untie the seal and use them again!”

“So it is,” said the demon fox

Suddenly, she responded and said, “It’s strange. Didn’t you say that I’m not qualified to know these secrets? What did you say?”

The man immediately became angry. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide himself. “Yes, why did I speak out the whole matter all of a sudden? I didn’t pay attention to it at the beginning and can’t stop myself at all as soon as I start!”

Seeing that, the demon fox smiled indifferently. “With such intelligence, he even wants to test Li Ye. Is he dreaming?”
