Chapter 177: Chapter 126: Plan Settled_2

Translator: 549690339

The demons were puzzled and all the more curious.

“That’s natural,”

King Chu laughed heartily, standing up, “Now, allow me to introduce another distinguished guest I’ve invited!”

As he spoke, to his left, a figure suddenly materialized in an empty seat.

It was…

A white ape, a giant primate with snow-white fur and fiery red eyes.

It carried a massive sword on its back, emitting a chilling aura. After appearing, it said nothing, grabbed the bound woman on the table, tossed her into its mouth, and began to chew forcefully, blood splattering and staining its fur red.

“This is…”

“The Sword Demon Ape!”

“He…!?”

Watching the white ape devour its meal, the demons looked at each other, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

This demon, they knew, was a famed Demon King like King Wolf Chu, the Southern Mountain Sword Demon Ape.

However, whereas King Wolf Chu was the patriarch of the Chu Family Wolf clan on Mount Mang, this Southern Mountain Sword Demon Ape was a naturally unique species, a solitary creature who kept to itself. It was inherently ferocious and somehow obtained a Sword Cultivator’s mana technique, haphazardly mastering a set of Demon Sword Skills that was quite formidable, rampaging through South Mountain.

That King Chu could invite it here.

Could it be…?

A leap of intuition in the demons’ hearts, they carefully sensed the aura and were further shocked to their core.

“It…”

“Has it broken through?”

“Demon Emperor!!!”

Looking at the Sword Demon Ape gorging itself, covered in blood, the demons couldn’t help but recoil in shock.

“My lords, there’s no need for alarm.”

King Chu waved his hand and said ominously with a smile, “That Li Liuxian calls himself a Sword Immortal. Now, I’ve brought him a Sword Demon. Let’s see if he’s truly capable. Will he rise to meet a challenge and find his equal?”

“This…”

The demons exchanged glances, bewildered, but seeing King Chu’s demeanor, they had no choice but to cooperate reluctantly.

“King of Chu is formidable, but what about Thunder Lightning Mana King and Yin Mountain Taoist…”

“Hmph!”

The words were unfinished when an icy snort interrupted them, followed by a play of light and shadow as a figure manifested on the right.

It was a man, a man with the head of a serpent.

His serpentine head and flesh wings spread angrily, the lumps on his head already burst open, revealing a pair of horns entwined with lightning, taking on the aspect of a Jiao Dragon.

“This…”

“The Shocking Thunder Python of Mount Mang!”

“You’ve transformed into Jiao?”

Seeing this person, the demons were astonished beyond measure.

This person, like King Chu and the Sword Demon Ape, was also a famed Demon King with a great reputation, who dwelled on Mount Mang. Born a unique species known as the Shocking Thunder Python, he could naturally control thunder and lightning, and his strength was even superior to King Chu’s. He was heralded as the leading Demon King beneath the Demon Emperor in Mount Mang.

Now, the python transforming into Jiao meant that he too had stepped into the realm of a Demon Emperor?

This was difficult for the demons to accept.

There’s a saying that when a nation is about to fall, there will be demons, but for three Demon Kings to break through to Demon Emperor one after another was astonishing.

Was it a coincidence?

Or was it an inevitable result of long accumulation?

The demons did not know.

But looking at King Chu, the Sword Demon Ape, and now this Shocking Thunder Jiao, their hopes for the incident at North City Academy rose somewhat.

Jiao vs. Thunder Cultivator, Demon Emperor vs. True Man, even with the difference in Cultivation, they should not be at a disadvantage, should they?

If this Shocking Thunder Jiao could hold off Shi Jian and the Sword Demon Ape could deal with Li Liuxian, with King Chu facing the Yin Mountain Taoist, wouldn’t North City Academy be at their mercy for plundering?

This… might just be possible!

Without realizing it, their convictions wavered.

Still, a few of the older demons remained cautious, looking at the seated Shocking Thunder Jiao: “Python, no, Jiao King, are you confident that you can defeat Shi Jian?”

“Hmph!”

The Shocking Thunder Jiao snorted coldly, “If I had no confidence, would I come here to jest with you?”

“This… Alright then!”

With their minds made up, the demons turned their gaze towards King Chu: “So King Chu will deal with the Yin Mountain Taoist?”

“No, no, no!”

King Chu shook his head and smiled, “I still have another distinguished guest to introduce to all of you.”

With that said, he turned his gaze to another vacant seat.

Then, a glint of gold flashed, revealing a divine aura and gradually a figure took shape.

“This is…”

“Buddhist Light!!!”

The pupils of the demons contracted as they leaped to their feet in alarm.

No wonder they were agitated.

In Mount Mang of the north, where demons converged, a sacred Buddhist Light had suddenly appeared; what did that signify?

If not for King Chu sitting there, they might believe this was a trap set by Buddhism.

“My lords, please calm yourselves.”

King Chu smiled faintly, steadying the anxious crowd, “Allow me to introduce Master Xunlong, a fellow seeker of the path just like us.”

As he spoke, the Buddhist Light dispersed, revealing the figure of a man, dressed neither like a monk nor a Taoist, yet resembling both. With eyes cast down, he exuded compassion and yet an imposing aura, the mana resonance emanating from him sending shivers of fear through the demons below.

“This…”

“A Taoist True Monarch?”

Looking at this Master Xunlong, who was neither monk nor Taoist, neither righteous nor sinister, neither good nor evil, neither demon nor human, the demons were perplexed, unsure of what to make of the situation, and could only look to King Chu for guidance.

“The Yin Mountain Taoist will be dealt with by Master Xunlong. His Buddhist light is the nemesis of Underworld Ghosts, sure to sweep them away into emptiness,” King Chu said with a grim smile.

“My lords, you need only join me in attacking North City Academy and relish in the bloody feast as you please,” King Chu continued.

“This…”

Hearing this, the demons hesitated.

Pies falling from the sky are not necessarily a good sign.

Did King Chu go to all this trouble to invite the Sword Demon Ape and Shocking Thunder Jiao, both Demon Emperors, and find this enigmatic True Monarch Cultivator from who knows where, to clash desperately against the three cultivators of North City, solely to create this opportunity for them, allowing them to raid North City Academy and indulge in a bloody feast?
