The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 466 So It Is a Damn Robbery

You Daxiao looked at Li Ye’s distressed expression and tried to speak several times, only he didn’t know what to say.

He glanced back at the female demons, but only found that they didn’t even notice him, which made him feel a little bit of pain in his heart. So he coughed a little in disguise. This time there were female demons looking at him, but they were rolling their eyes and looking at him disgustedly.

You Daxiao raised his head and looked at the sky silently. He was also the Son of God in demon clan, young, promising and handsome, and he had also experienced the mortal world. But why was he treated so different from Li Ye in front of this female demon?

Li Ye didn’t care about You Daxiao’s strange reaction, he just cleared his throat and added, “The sparrow and I have looked around several hundred miles around the Blackstone Ridge and seen quite a few places. This time, the scale of the beast flow is quite large, the outskirts of which is less than 25 kilometers from Liuxi Town. There are many kinds of beasts with high cultivation, but I have yet to seen a powerful one. We have not gone to the center. Their Qi is strong, giving off a hint of danger.”

He took a tree branch and drew a simple map of Blackstone Ridge on the ground, “The beast tide shows the trend of tidal waves, one follows another. There is basically no weak zones. So the strategy is that I’ll be in the light and you in the dark. You must hide your Qi and follow my order once I have one.”

You Daxiao looked at the map drawn by Li Ye, but couldn’t understand it at first. He then mused for a while.

Wu You understood it straight away. After all, Li Ye was influenced by Li Xian when he was a child. And he had the ambition to devote himself to the country. He built cities or draw pictures when they were playing with mud as children, so Wu You knew Li Ye’s style well.

Wu You blinked her bright and watery eyes and added, “Has Elder Brother Ye detected the trace of the Macaque King cultivators?”

Li Ye shook his head, and answered, “Not yet.”

But this was not very important, Li Ye came here to show off his reputation. His only purpose was to gather cultivators. Anyway, he wasn’t afraid of the Macaque King’s disturbance.

After explaining the situation to everyone, Li Ye began make arrangements, “The Son of God, you and the demon leopard take the demons and hide in the dark. I suggest you disguise yourselves as a team of Spiritual Master Realm cultivators and mix in with the demon group. The Duchess and sparrow follow me, and we will find a team from Liuxi Town to join.”

Wu You was Li Ye’s prized treasure, and he could only feel at ease if she was with him. The sparrow could already fly fast and look far. And after eating the Dan Pills of Star Pavilion, its cultivation had improved a lot. Even the Real Immortal Realm could not keep up with the sparrow, so he must be used as a scout.

This way, they only needed a nanny to take care of everyone’s daily living... Li Ye turned her eyes to the proprietress.

The proprietress saw Li Ye looking at her, her heart moved, and she couldn’t hold back her joy. Even if she no longer had any hope for Li Ye, but the fact that Li Ye could think of asking her to go with him showed that he still had a spot for her in his heart.

However, when the proprietress saw through Li Ye’s eyes clearly, she could no longer be happy. Those were not the eyes for a female partner, but for a servant.

“How about going with us, proprietress?” Li Ye showed a warm smile shining like the sun in the disappointed eyes of the proprietress, and added in a sincere tone, “We need you.”

Having seen his smile and heard those sincere words, the proprietress’ heart brightened again instantly. She knew that Li Ye was the leader of this team, and yet he could still talk to her in a pleading tone. It meant that Li Ye respected her and recognized her status.

The proprietress couldn’t help smiling, and answered without thinking, “Okay, I will...”

Before she finished speaking, she saw that Li Ye had turned around and continued to talk to You Daxiao.

The proprietress was stiff and her words got stuck in her throat. She felt so terrible.

Haha, it turned out to be that he was just being polite.

What need? He just wants me to be a servant...

After arranging everything, Li Ye distributed the wine to the demons, three altars each. Wine was not a valuable commodity, but loved by everyone. Li Ye just wanted to show his appreciation for them, and it worked well for the demons. They now saw Li Ye as a friend.

After demons went their separate ways, Li Ye entered Liuxi town once again.

This time he didn’t go to the Zuixian Restaurant, and avoided it. Li Ye went directly to the small square on the east side of the town. There was a bulletin board with information describing the situation of the beast flow in Blackstone Ridge. Many cultivators gathered here.

Li Ye strolled around the small square and checked the situation of the cultivators.

The cultivators who were here were of different cultivation levels. The vast majority of them were of the Spiritual Master Realm, and there were even a lot of Qi-refining cultivators. Usually, when there was no beast tide, the Spiritual Master Realm cultivators were already considered powerful in this town.

In fact, those who depended on hunting down beasts to live would never be powerful demons.

Once one’s cultivation reached the Immortal Realm, one could go to any big city like Panfeng City, and get a good job in the City Lord’s Mansion. They could earn a stable income and have a high status without any risk. Even if they didn’t go to the City Lord’s Mansion, they could be a secretary in any major business firms and would receive great courtesy.

However, because of the beast tide, cultivators of the Immortal Realm had appeared in the town. Although there weren’t many of them, it at least showed a trend that there would be more and more cultivators of the Immortal Realm in town.

If the beast tide in the Blackstone Ridge could not be eliminated, the lord of the Big City would come forward and lead the City-protecting Army into the mountains.

“Generally speaking, the beast tide will not be so strong that the Seven Sages needs to come forward. In my memory, only once did the Seven Sages have to personally come forward to deal with the beast tide, and that was hundreds of years ago.” The proprietress told Li Ye the basic history of the demon clan.

Li Ye nodded and gestured that he understood. The Duchess curiously asked, “Wouldn’t it mean that it is not difficult to defeat the beast tide when we enter the Blackstone Ridge this time?”

The proprietress was about to speak when a voice full of mockery entered her ears.

“If you are of the Golden Immortal Realm, it is certainly not difficult to deal with the beast tide. But if you’re not, then pray that you can remain alive during the beast tide. The beast tide is of an extraordinary scale this time. Think it over before you act, or you’ll die without knowing how and why.”

Li Ye and others followed the voice and looked around. They saw a man wearing a bamboo hat in a green robe, leaning on the bulletin board with his arms crossed at the front. He also had a long dark knife in his arms.

What they just had heard was from his mouth. At this moment, he looked at Li Ye and others contemptuously, as though to tell them that they had no idea what they were in for.

Having seen his appearance, Li Ye suddenly found him interesting. In the realm of the demon clan, he was dressed like a worldly swordsman. This was the first time that Li Ye met such a cultivator.

Li Ye looked back at the proprietress. When their eyes met, she paused for a second in shock, but then she understood. Then she stepped forward and rolled up her sleeves to teach him a lesson.

Li Ye grabbed the proprietress before she could walk far and asked with a bewildered look, “What are you doing?”

The proprietress had always had sharp eyes, but when she saw Li Ye’s confusion, she was also totally lost, “Aren’t you asking me to beat him up?”

“Am I a grumpy person?” Li Ye sulked and said, “I’m asking you of what realm he is.”

“Aren’t you?” The proprietress blurted out.

“You stamped out the Star Pavilion, because of an attempted assassination by the tiger demon’s men. And you snatched the bear demon’s Magic Treasures because he was behind the attack. You also abducted his cultivators, and made him shiver every time he sees you. To be fair, is he not ”good” to you?”

“But you...You had already left Panfeng City, but you later went back to kill the demon bear on purpose. And you’re telling me you’re not grumpy?

The proprietress’ eyes flashed a little fear after seeing Li Ye’s complex expression, and immediately chose to surrender. She then added obediently, “He is of the Ground Immortal Realm!”

After saying those words, the proprietress was relieved. Li Ye’s stern face just now made her suddenly feel startled and instinctively afraid.

The proprietress was not a timid demon. If she was afraid of getting into trouble, she would not open an inn in Lingyun Canyon and promise Roc Demon King to follow Li Ye and make trouble in the Macaque King’s territory.

If it were in the past, she would not feel fear at all because she knew that Li Ye would not do anything to her.

But since Li Ye went back and killed the demon bear...

The proprietress was afraid just thinking about that. She was afraid that Li Ye would kill her once he felt unpleasant.

Seeing Li Ye’s expression soften, proprietress give him a look and said, “Did you see how you scared me with just a simple look, and you say you’re not grumpy?”

Li Ye felt powerless for a while when he saw the proprietress’ eyes.

“A lot of the times, it’s not that the person involved is grumpy, but because he is provoked. And the person doing the provoking often does so when you’re at the most heated. Like he had obtained some evidence to hold it against you. See? and you say you’re not grumpy, now your true colors are showing!”

Haha.

Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn’t help staring at the proprietress again.

The proprietress immediately shrugged her shoulders, she covered her chest and stepped back two steps in horror like a weak cat.

Li Ye did not care about her and looked back at the “swordsman”.

The swordsman was observing their postures when Li Ye and the proprietress were “carefully” communicating. When he saw the proprietress reveal a fearful expression, he thought it was because of him. So he immediately became more arrogant.

Having seen Li Ye coming over, the swordsman raised his jaw proudly, and added with a superior tone, “Look at your luxurious clothes, you don’t look like you often go to the mountains to fight beasts. I am telling you that the beasts are hard to deal with, and you are totally courting death if you enter abruptly!”

Li Ye remained humble and asked, “What do you mean?”

The swordsman’s nostrils were almost poking the sky, “I, Qi Potian, a powerhouse of the Ground Immortal Realm, also the Blackstone Ridge butcher, once killed more than a hundred fierce beasts. And I’m also the golden Elder of the Killing Hands, which is a famous hunter organization. Now I’ll give you a good suggestion! If you want to live in front of the beast tide, and you want to gain something, then you should grab the chance I now give you to follow me and join my team!”

Li Ye was dumbfounded, the Duchess straight out laughed out loud, and the sparrow began to roll over on Li Ye’s shoulder again. The proprietress even rolled her eyes at the swordsman who claimed to be Qi Potian.

“What are you laughing at?” Qi Potian’s face turned red, and became shamefully angry. He arched his back and glared at everyone, no longer holding a long knife, ”How dare you laugh at me, the butcher from Blackstone Ridge. You’ll regret it! I’ll show you!”

When Qi Potian was about to strike, Li Ye waved his hand, but could not help smiling, “Calm down, we want to follow you, but we don’t know whether it’s safe. After all, we also have a member of the Ground Immortal Realm, and Sky Immortal Realm members too.”

Qi Potian’s face looked a little better when he heard that Li Ye had the intention to join his team. Then, a cold grunt came out from his nostrils, “We have many Great Cultivators of the Sky Immortal Realm in the Killing Hands. And we also Real Immortal Realm cultivators! It is absolutely safe if you follow us! But...”

“How much does it cost?” Li Ye interrupted.

“You are sensible!” Qi Potian said, and he glanced at Li Ye before adding, “Everyone pays a hundred inferior spiritual stones to ensure you come out alive. If you are obedient enough, you can bring out the beasts you hunted!”

“One Hundred inferior spiritual stones, why don’t you just rob us?” The sparrow flicked its two short legs, clutching its stomach and laughing, almost falling off Li Ye’s shoulder. “You’re going to make me laugh myself to death!”

Qi Potian’s face was completely dark, “Then I will rob you!”

With that said, he waved his hand suddenly, and in a short time, half of the cultivators who were in the small square turned around. There were at least twenty or so people, and several of them were of the Ground Immortal Realm.

These cultivators were all sullen, and took out their Magic Tools and Magic Treasures, looking like they were really ready to attack.

The sparrow’s laughter stopped abruptly, flapping its wings and trying to fly into the sky, “Your Highness, you guys keep talking, and I’ll go ahead and explore the path!”

Li Ye grabbed it at once. Of course he knew that Sparrow wanted to call You Daxiao, but he really didn’t need the demons to come to deal with these Qi Potian’s cultivators.

Qi Potian grinned and looked at Li Ye, “I will give you one last chance, please organize your language! Apologize to the butcher of Blackstone Ridge!”

Li Ye smiled and said, “If we apologize, can we not follow you?”

“No!” Qi Potian rejected, “But if you give me the spiritual stones, you can choose not to enter the mountain.”

“So you do want to rob money!” Li Ye sighed.

Qi Potian sneered, “And what are you going to do about it?”

“Nothing!” Li Ye spread his hands and he began to take things out from his storage bag, “We will pay, but we don’t have spiritual stones. How about I use this instead...”
