Chapter 286 - Southern Wild Land’s Demon King

While crossing this region where rivers crisscrossed each other, the distance between them pulled further apart. Catching those experts chasing him off guard, Lei Yu suddenly descended.

“Not good, quickly catch up!” A demonic cultivator that looked like a lobster cried out. Several cultivators behind him quickly descended as well but once they arrived at the last river of the region, Lei Yu’s figure had disappeared. One could say that Lei Yu had evaporated into thin air and disappeared without a trace!

“That’s strange, I don’t see him.”

They were all searching the area thoroughly and even released their spiritual perception in hopes of sensing Lei Yu’s energy fluctuation, but how can their perception pierce through Lei Yu’s ability gained at the [Energy Suppression] stage? No matter the scope and sophistry of the cultivation method, they couldn’t compare to Lei Yu’s at all.

After hiding his internal energy inside the infant body, Lei Yu was comparable to a piece of stone. As long as he doesn’t make a noise, no one would notice him even if he stood behind them.

After removing some aquatic plants he was hiding under, Lei Yu watched as this group of Fusion Soul experts gave up on looking for him. It was only then did he quietly break out of the water surface and sighed. “That was really quite dangerous! Who is that little girl anyway? And why would so many mobilize upon her words? Could it be…?!” Lei Yu blinked a few times, “Could it be that I provoked the Demon King’s daughter?”

After thinking it through, Lei Yu shook his head and rejected that idea. How could a dignified Demon King’s daughter so randomly appear in the water region? Shouldn’t she be in a castle in the most southern part of the Southern Wild Lands? Moreover, how could a Demon King’s daughter be dressed in such revealing clothes? And even started a fight over an old jade pendant?

Based on Lei Yu’s judgment, she was probably the daughter of the water region’s boss who was similar to a Commander of Dragon Group. At least that’s the opinion Lei Yu came up with.

Since this Southern Wild Lands wasn’t a place Lei Yu was welcomed at, he decided to leave. Lei Yu’s body lightly shook and his powerful internal energy flung off all the water and random underwater plants stuck to him. He now looked like he had never entered the water at all.

After condensing internal energy onto his feet, Lei Yu was about to leap into the air. At the same time, he released his spiritual perception to check if he had gotten rid of all the pursuers.

It was fine if he didn’t probe the area but once he did, Lei Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. In the outer area of this region where rivers crisscrossed, those demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above were undergoing a ground search. Lei Yu was really curious, “What on earth are they looking for?”

Watching as this mass group of people gradually move closer towards him, Lei Yu knew that leaving was impossible. It looks like he can only go back south. Lei Yu had experienced being surrounded in the past, but not to this point where he felt so trapped.

Looking off into the distance, Lei Yu noticed the two big toads were lying on the grass lands with their eyes closed. They looked like they were sunbathing.

Lei Yu grinned as he ran over, “Let me borrow your territory to rest for a bit!”

The two toads opened their eyes and a green light shimmered from their eyes. Both toads swallowed hard but didn’t respond, so Lei Yu sat down cross-legged next to them as if the two didn’t exist.

The slightly bigger toad glanced at the other one and nodded. The latter seemed to understand that gesture wanting to leave. Lei Yu suddenly opened his eyes, “You want to rat me out? Whoever dares to take a step away here, I will skin and roast them into frog cutlets to eat!”

Those two toads seemed to understand the first half of Lei Yu’s words, and didn’t doubt Lei Yu’s strength to follow through with his threat. But the latter part of frog cutlets, they had no clue what that was. But the first half of Lei Yu’s words were enough choke them with fright. They returned to their original position of sunbathing, but were no longer as relaxed as before because they were staring at Lei Yu with wide round eyes.
