Chapter 69: Pangolin?
Ye Chen's smile had a hint of embarrassment, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh wryly. This little girl seemed to be laughing at him. However, sitting here alone like this, he really didn't fit in with the scene below.
Ye Chen suddenly felt a different breath, his heart skipped a beat, it was the Soul's Breath! He didn't know which deity dared to spy on him. Ye Chen immediately released his own divine soul. A soldier in golden armor stood behind Ye Chen in the void. His divine soul quickly searched and soon locked onto a middle-aged man wearing coarse clothes on the outside plaza. The man was about 37 or 38 years old, with a goatee, tall and sturdy.
This middle-aged man exuded a special aura, the intensity of his soul was several times stronger than the red demon wolf Ye Chen had encountered before, but compared to his own divine soul, it was still much weaker.
"Could it be that this guy isn't human?" Ye Chen furrowed his brow in thought, having heard that demonic beasts were capable of shape-shifting. As he thought this, his divine soul enveloped the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's soul felt a huge pressure, looking far away, in the empty space above the hall, a soldier wearing golden armor was staring at him angrily. Suddenly his face turned white, his legs trembled slightly, and he quickly knelt down in the direction where Ye Chen was.
"Your Majesty, King of Demons, please forgive me. I didn't mean any harm." The middle-aged man stuttered, unable to even finish his sentence.
"Who are you, where did you come from?" Ye Chen's divine soul transmitted a message over, these guys were extremely fearful of their own divine souls, and yet another guy actually recognized himself as the Demon King, don't know if it was related to that red demon wolf.
"The little man is an armadillo, and has just arrived at the border of the Land of the Earth Master. He is a scout officer from the Lion King's Palace." The middle-aged man replied, his eyes full of fearful color.
"Di Shi realm boundary, Lion King Hall's scout officer?" Ye Chen heard the middle-aged man's words and couldn't help but frown. These demon beasts thought they were the Demon Kings, so he thought for a moment that being a Demon King should be quite useful, so he might as well pretend to be one. Since he was going to pretend to be a Demon King, there were some questions he couldn't ask, such as what kind of realm boundary Di Shi was and what Lion King Hall was all about.
"I don't know why Your Highness is among humans, but the Lion King of our Lion King's Palace would like to invite you to visit the palace and become a patron of the Lion King's Palace. Would you be willing?"
"What realm is your Lion King?"
"The Lion King has already reached the peak of the Demon King realm."
It was also the Demon King realm, so there's nothing to be afraid of. I estimate that this Lion King Hall won't easily turn hostile either. Ye Chen refused: "Go back and convey my words, tell your Lion King, I thank him for his kind intentions, but I still have some unfinished business and don't want to go to the Lion King Hall."
"Yes, Your Highness. The Lion King has sent some gifts over with his subordinate as a token of respect. If you are willing to go to the Lion King's palace, he will be waiting for your arrival at any time." The middle-aged man said, wiping the sweat from his forehead, thinking that this demon king was unexpectedly easy to talk to. In the Xuan Beast world, demon kings were known to be unpredictable and prone to sudden outbursts of anger, which could easily get him killed. It was also unlikely that the Lion King would turn against him just because he had a falling out with a demon king.
Did you bring a gift? Ye Chen thought for a moment, this lion king must be trying to make friends with him. Since the gift has been sent over, Ye Chen will definitely accept it with a smile. If he were to decline, it would only offend the other party instead.
"Wait here, I'll have someone bring you to the hall." Ye Chen said calmly, since he had decided to disguise himself as the Demon King, he still needed to put on some airs.
When the middle-aged man heard Ye Chen's words, a look of extreme joy appeared on his face. Since Ye Chen was willing to accept the things from Lion King Hall, it meant that he had accepted their good intentions. Once the items were sent out, he could return and report back with ease. After all, even if the Lion King himself came, there was no way he could persuade a demon king to join Lion King Hall in just a few words!
The servants of several large families in Donglin County stared at the middle-aged man in front of them, their minds full of doubts. This guy must be an idiot, kneeling down inexplicably among a crowd of people and saying a bunch of incomprehensible things with a pale face and sweating profusely. They looked ahead, but there was no one in front of him? Was this guy possessed by a ghost in broad daylight?
The middle-aged man stood up with a sigh of relief, ignoring the strange glances from the crowd. He stood still, waiting. After a while, someone from the Ye family walked over, scanning the area before fixing his gaze on him.
"It's you, come with me." Ye Ping waved his hand and walked away, thinking that the middle-aged man with a long mustache described by the clan leader should be him.
"Yes, thank you." The middle-aged man bowed and followed the person from the Ye family carefully, not daring to be presumptuous in the domain of the Demon King.
This fool was actually invited away by the Ye family? What's going on? The servants of those families looked at each other in dismay, and today's events were indeed inexplicable.
Ye Chen withdrew his divine soul, thinking to himself that this Lion King's Hall was quite mysterious. He glanced at the raccoon dog on his shoulder, and saw that it had reached a stage where it could transform into human form. Its strength should be much greater than the raccoon dog's now. He wondered when the raccoon dog would be able to transform and learn human language. In his heart, he couldn't help but think that if the raccoon dog were to transform, would it become a great beauty? However, this was just a fleeting thought.
I don't know what kind of strength is required to reach the level of a Demon King, but it seems that one needs to condense their spirit and take shape. The soldier I condensed from my own soul is just an illusion and doesn't have any actual combat power, so it's best to use him as little as possible in the future. If he gets exposed, it'll be troublesome. I wonder if continuing to cultivate the Nine Stars Heaven's End Technique will allow me to condense the soldier formed from my divine soul into a tangible entity?
Ah Li doesn't know what enemy she has offended, as long as she continues to pretend to be the demon king, her enemies should still not dare to move against Ah Li!
That pangolin brought a gift for himself to the Lion King's palace, but it is unknown what it was.
In the hall, everyone was still responding to each other, and they didn't know anything about the soul exchange between Ye Chen and the pangolin.
Suddenly, a member of the Ye family rushed in hastily.
"Report to the clan leader, a dozen or so people have burst in from outside and we can't stop them!" The clansman said anxiously, "Several of them are ninth-grade masters."
The various castle owners and clan leaders were slightly stunned. Today was a grand day for the Ye family's castle, who would be so blind? The current Ye family's castle is in its heyday, whoever provokes them is courting death. Everyone present was the owner of each family's castle and clan leader, with Ye Zhan Tian giving an order, they launched a group attack, even if the opponent had more than ten ninth-grade masters, they wouldn't be able to leave alive.
Ye Zhan Tian's expression changed slightly, and he looked forward to see a dozen or so strangers rushing towards the main hall. His eyes turned cold, and he shouted: "Who dares to intrude upon my Ye family fortress!" Ye Zhan Tian's voice thundered like a bell.
"In any place within Donglin County, I can come and go as I please. You, Ye Zhantian, have the audacity to not even greet me when you see me, what a big nerve your Ye family has!"
Is this king? Could it be that the King of Donglin has arrived?
