The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 454 The Hidden Friend?

At the moment when Li Ye overwhelmed the wrist of Childe Python, he pretended to jump up in spite of himself, face beaming with joy. He was so excited that he raised his arms and shouted, “Ha ha! I won! I won again!”

As he said, he held all the magic treasures that Childe Python put on the table in his own arms. He pretended to be modest and embarrassed, but in fact he smiled excitedly and said, “Brother, I’ll take away all these magic treasures. Alas, brother, you are so heroic. You are worthy of being a hero of the demon clan. There are so many magic treasures, including several with the middle class-ranking. I really have to thank you!”

The muscle on Childe Python’s face twitched. He was speechless.

Seeing Li Ye take away all his magic treasures, Childe Python was painful with a twisted face, as if his was cutting by a knife. In the contest just now, his face had turned red and green, and now it looked even more miserable.

He stretched out his hand and wanted to stop Li Ye, but he froze on the way because of self-esteem. When he got back to his mind, Li Ye had got up, holding the magic treasures in his arms. Childe Python opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say.

Other demons looked at Li Ye who was beaming with joy and the sad young Childe Python. They also felt that the reverse was so sudden and could not accept it for a while. Almost all the cultivators did not expect such a result.

Childe Python was the most powerful below the Sky Immortal Realm in Panfeng City and hadn’t met such an opponent for a long time. How could he be defeated by Li Ye today? Besides, while Li Ye was competing with the demon sheep, he was obviously sweaty and he won the demon sheep with great difficulties...

Li Ye was only in the Ground Immortal Realm, which could be seen by all demons, and there was no way to fake that.

Moreover, they also saw clearly that both the desk and Li Ye were normal and there was no possibility of cheating. Some of the demons at present were in the Real Immortal Realm. If Li Ye cheated, he couldn’t hide it from them.

So how did Li Ye win again?

Had he been hiding his strength before? While fighting with the demon sheep, did he deliberately show his weakness... so as to win more magic treasures? But how could he be confident of winning over Childe Python, who was a powerful demon?

All the demons fell into deep thinking. There was a mist in front of them, which blocked the possibility of seeing the truth. They tried their best to see through the mist, but found that they had no clue.

Regardless of the thoughts of the demons, Li Ye was very happy now, though not as exaggerated as he appeared on the surface.

He, with an intoxicated expression, got up and came to the magic treasures piled up on the table. Then he picked up a small pile of them and held it in his arms, looking up to the sky and laughing.

All the demons felt speechless when they saw Li Ye’s behavior. “Is it necessary to be so happy like that? What you said before about admiring the heroes of demon clan and wanting to make friends with us is bullshit. Your purpose is just the magic treasure, isn’t it, brother?”

Those cultivators who had participated in the gambling looked unpleasant. And the corners of mouth of some demons even twitched. They didn’t know why Li Ye could win and why he could be so strong, but at this moment, they deeply suspected that they seemed to be cheated.

The cultivators who had lost the magic treasures naturally resented Li Ye, while those cultivators who didn’t lose their magic treasures were in a relaxed mood at the moment. Their eyes towards Li Ye were simple and full of admiration. After all, everyone adored the strong. Li Ye won over Childe Python, and his strength had been recognized by everyone.

Some demons even gloated when they saw the sad expressions of their companions or demons who had a bad relationship with them.

Childe Python walked back to the demon python with his head down. Then he looked up, wishing to speak but stop on a second thought. He was so embarrassed and no longer high-spirited and vigorous he had been before the fighting.

The demon python frowned and stared at Childe Python angrily, eyes full of sternness and blame. He was exasperated at his son’s failure to make good.

Childe Python was about to cry... He felt wronged!

However, the demon sheep was relieved when Childe Python also suffered from losing his magic treasures. His eyes towards Childe Python seemed to be full of... gratefulness.

Li Ye didn’t care about the thoughts of the demons at all. He held up the magic treasures and sprinkled them on the sky several times to express his happiness. After that, he turned around and smiled at the cultivators of demon clan.

He said proudly, “I said I hadn’t done my best before, but you didn’t believe me. Are you convinced now? Ha ha, to tell you the truth, I did win the game with great difficulties, but that’s all strategy. It’s a strategy to win the hand wrestling game! In fact, I also didn’t do my best just now! What a pity! I thought that all the cultivators of demon clan are heroes who have great power and can let me look up to, but I didn’t expect that...”

He pretended to sigh and said, “But I didn’t expect that no one can defeat me... I even can’t send out my sword!”

Speaking of that, Li Ye was more self-satisfied. He overlooked at all the demons and said in a loud voice, “Now tell me, who else dares to challenge me?”

Hearing that arrogant question, all the demons changed their eyes at the moment, no matter how their mood had been before.

“Is the Prince An arrogant again? After winning over two cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm, did you get your tail up again? Could you be more reserved? You are the grand prince of the Tang Empire!”

Anyway, now the cultivators of demon clan were very angry. Except for those who had lost the magic treasures, those who hadn’t were also excited. This was related to the dignity of the cultivators of demon clan. “It’s okay that you won. We can afford to lose and will say nothing.”

“But you are so arrogant and asked which of us dares to challenge you. Do you really think that there are no cultivators in the demon clan?”

Most of the female demons were also angry, but not all of them. Some female demons who hadn’t lost their magic treasures looked at Li Ye with brighter eyes now. In their eyes, Li Ye was not only handsome, but also powerful. Even when he was arrogant, he still seemed to have a special charm, like the dazzling sun, which made them fascinated.

But before they could say something, other cultivators of demon clan could not keep clam.

“Prince An, it’s your strength that you won, and we admire it! But you are so arrogant and look down upon us. Are you too conceited?” a cultivator said in a deep voice.

The demon python was in a bad mood now, because Childe Python had lost all the magic treasures with middle class-ranking he gave him. As a cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm who had no background, it was not easy to get a middle-class magic treasure. He also looked at Li Ye and said with an unpleasant expression, “Prince An, do you think that all the cultivators here are no match for you?”

According to his expression, it seemed that he was going to challenge Li Ye in person. Of course, it was impossible. But as long as the demons had enough resentment against Li Ye and they could send a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm to fight with Li Ye... maybe they could win.

The demon python had decided to take back all the magic treasures lost by Childe Python. Sending a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm was the only choice at present. So he had set a trap for Li Ye in his words.

In the face of the interrogation of the demons, Li Ye still grinned from ear to ear, looking very proud.

He was worried about how to persuade a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm to participate in the game. After all, he was just in the Ground Immortal Realm. If he directly invited a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm to fight with him, it would be too abnormal. He was afraid that the demons would think there was a trap.

But the demon python said those words just now, which was to create a chance for him... After all, the cultivators who had bet was just one part. And not every demon had only one magic treasure!

There were a lot of magic treasures waiting for Li Ye to embrace!

Li Ye couldn’t help but take a deep look at the demon python. “Brother, it turns out that you’re my friend. Do you also want to join me, just like the demon leopard?”

Thinking of this, Li Ye felt that the future was bright. So he immediately catered for the demon python. Raising his chin, he pompously said, as if he had become dizzy with success, “I didn’t aim at anyone. I just think that none of you could fight with me! I’ve already said that I would fight to the finish. Who else dares to fight with me?”

After this speech, there were many shouts, and then the shouts turned into clamor. All the cultivators of demon clan were striving to be the first to fight with Li Ye.

“The humiliation is too great to bear. In the face of our hundreds of demons, you, a cultivator from the mortal world, are so arrogant in our Panfeng City, the territory of demon clan. You’re courting death!”

The demon python was very happy. For fear of Li Ye’s repentance, he hurriedly said, “OK! You are so brave, Prince An! We didn’t want to be rude, but since you said that, we can’t make you lose face! We also won’t bully you. The cultivators in the Real Immortal Realm will not fight with you. How about the cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm?”

Then before Li Ye could refuse, he turned around and said in a low voice, “Wu Liuqi, come here and play with Prince An!”

A demon in the form of human being in the Sky Immortal Realm came out.

His clothes were broad and loose, and his hair was a bit messy. Although he was handsome, he had a bristly unshaven chin. He looked both lethargic and decadent. Even though he was young, he was full of vicissitudes. He was a wild and unshaven cultivator.

When Li Ye saw Wu Liuqi, his expression changed and he could not help but step back, as if he was frightened. But soon he went back quickly. He took a deep breath to calm down and grit his teeth. It seemed that he had tried his best not to shrink back in the face of a battle.

Then he looked up, pretending to be powerful and fearless, and said in disdain, “Such a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm doesn’t deserve my attention! I said I didn’t do my best before, but you just didn’t believe it! I’m telling you, strategy is very important in hand wrestling game! Don’t regret it after we start. This time, I won’t be merciful!”

“Let’s get started!” The demon python waved and couldn’t wait to say.

The demon python sneered in his heart. “Look at your shaking hands, you are clearly afraid. Do you want to threaten us with words so that we will shrink back from difficulties and let you go? It’s impossible!”

Wu Liuqi sat down at the desk, raised his arms, and said lazily, “Come on.”

Li Ye took a deep breath again and sat down reluctantly and slowly. He stared at Wu Liuqi and said, “Do you really... not regret it?”

Wu Liuqi directly ignored Li Ye and he didn’t even look at Li Ye.

Wu Liuqi was not an ordinary cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm, but one of the strongest in the Sky Immortal Realm in the City Lord’s Mansion. The demon python asked him to fight with Li Ye, which was a bullying to Li Ye. Li Ye was the newcomer and didn’t know the cultivation of all the demons here, so the demon python wanted to break a fly upon a wheel and to defeat Li Ye directly. He didn’t want to give him a chance to win!

“Let’s fight!” Li Ye forced himself to stretch out his hand.
