Chapter 524: Jumping Ball (2/2)

”What?”

”It's nothing, I'm just acting cute, that's all.”

”Therefore, I think that whenever Nine Regions is in danger, there would be such a person with great providence, and it does seem to confirm my guess. As for the explanation of those who died in the middle of their path, it was not that difficult: the so-called providence is just an investment on a person in Nine Regions, and any investment is risky.”

w.a.n.g Lu nodded. ”You're right, this conjecture of yours can actually explain a lot of things… including the guy's hostility to us. If we say the golden generation is favored by the Nine Regions, then it is logical that he, as the demon, regard the golden generation as the thorn in his eyes. But, here comes my second question. Who exactly is he? Is he really a demon?”

”Hmm… Do you doubt his demon race ident.i.ty?”

”Yes, the demon jade being invalid to him is the biggest questionable point. Moreover, his actions are also very controversial among the demon race, and his style of action is not the style of action of demon race.”

As he said these, w.a.n.g Lu couldn't help but think of the dying cry of the survivor of the howling demon on the mountain of corpses in the demon world.

Ouyang Shang asked, ”... Not the demon king of the demon race? Don't you think that this is a bit 'too seeking for novelty'?”

”Fortunately, I happen to know that there is indeed a proletariat party led by the bourgeoisie.”

”Hey, don't talk nonsense like that. When you say that, I thought I saw your death sign.”

”... Let me put it in another way, I also know that there's a Western Continent people's regime under the leaders.h.i.+p of Kunlun slave.”

”That's a pretty 'high-end' idea you got there, which is indeed an interesting deduction. In your opinion, if he is not a demon, then what could he be? It is impossible for a speculator to be so lucky that he could deceive the entire demon race, right?”

”Of course not. If it's just a common speculator, after stealing the throne of the demon king, he would've stayed content just to enjoy the wealth of the demon world. However, he did not continue the work as the king of the demon world, but instead directly brought the demons into the dead end, while at the same time leading some remnants, through an unknown mean, to the Nine Regions. Here in the Nine Regions, he did not stay content either as he went to the Western Continent to catch the monster wolf that could devour everything, Fenrir… After that, he was suppressed for two thousand years without losing his motivation. This is completely incomprehensible. In my opinion, it implies involuntary actions.”

Ouyang Shang said, ”It does indeed not look like what a normal person would do because there's completely no benefit about his works. What's the point in deceiving the demons and then the Nine Regions? What's in it for him? It is indeed more like he's being forced by something, to constantly do something to meet the requirements of the other party. However, he is already the king of the demon world, who else under the heaven has the qualification to force him? And what are the advantages in forcing him to do these things?”

w.a.n.g Lu chuckled. ”Perhaps it's the legendary demon G.o.d?”

Ouyang Shang shook his head. ”The G.o.ds of the demon world? Like the true immortals of the Nine Regions, that's just an unreachable concept. At least, in theory, there has never been a direct intervention from the G.o.ds of the demon world. On Nine Regions, true immortal descending down to the lower realm is only in the legend—the legend about Immortal Qin and Great Ancestor Desheng are only about true immortal pa.s.sing down the method, nothing more. Whether it's immortal world or demon G.o.d world, all seems like a returning road but it's actually a no return road.”

”That's weird.” w.a.n.g Lu said, ”If not demon G.o.d, then who? Could it be…”

Speaking to this, w.a.n.g Lu and Ouyang Shang looked at each other in surprise. They couldn't help but think of an unthinkable answer.

However, before they even voiced out what was on their mind, a cold voice suddenly came in.

”You guys know too much… Sure enough, you two, must die!”

This voice was not unfamiliar to the two. In the demon spirit dream, they had heard him say more than a sentence… Regardless, what was unexpected was that he could actually appear here in the underwater fort carefully reinforced by the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect!

”Now that you're here, then don't leave!”

Ouyang Shang immediately launched the protection array of the dragon palace. The huge palace emitted a dull rumble sound. Built under the water, the palace that withstood the extremely heavy water pressure slowly sank under the influence of the array, and the thousands of years of sediment under the Blessed Fountain surged and rolled, covering the palace.

Previously, the flood dragon had managed his Blessed Fountain Dragon Palace for thousands of years. One of the important a.s.sets acc.u.mulated was the sediment at the bottom of the water. Each grain went through the process of being washed with monster qi. Now, under the transformation made by the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect, it possessed an even more inconceivable mysterious efficacy. As soon as it was used, even a Daoist Master of Deity Stage would not be able to break its defense easily.

However, just as the water-sediment completely covered the palace, Ouyang Shang suddenly felt the golden core in his Jade Mansion jump uncontrollably.

”Bad!”

The manipulation of the Dragon Palace array by one person put up a very high requirement for the precise application of Ouyang Shang's magical power. Overseeing the overall situation in Jindan Stage was actually a kind of cross-level challenge.

Right now, the golden core's jump in his Jade Mansion seemed small, but at the critical moment in controlling the array, it had actually taken the whole body.

Boom! At the top of the Dragon Palace, the huge pressure-stopping force suddenly became stagnant. The next moment, explosion broke out, and the water flooded in.

The large defensive array the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect relied on instantly broke!
