Chapter 259 1 (1/2)
Lu Bei, Fall Out!
In just a brief moment, the situation of the banquet was all set for a showdown.
Nascent Soul Crushing Bows. Each arrow was lethal enough to kill an Early Nascent Soul Realm demon. All of them had been personally made by Lu Daochen himself.
If tens of these bows were fired simultaneously, even Demon General Jing Yun1a would have to face the danger of being wounded.
However, facing the group of demon archers, Jing Yun could not stop laughing maliciously. It was because he was sure that Lu Daochen1b would not be so daring to let them fire the arrows since there were two Demon Generals from the Upper World. One of them was Jin Qun1c, a demon who had awakened a full drop of Golden Mastiff bloodline. He was already a member of the Golden Mastiff Race!
The other one was Li Ban1d who awakened one and a half drop of Thunder Dragon bloodline. Also, he was a member of the Immemorial Thunder Dragon Race!
If either one of them dies, they would end up infuriating a massive True Spirit Race in the Immortal Demon World.
That is to say, if Lu Daochen acts and injures the two of them, the chances for him to ascend to the Immortal Demon World would disappear for his entire life…
Jing Yun sent a look at Ning Fan and let out a cold harrumph within his heart. His gaze continued to move and eventually landed on Yao Fei1e.
Immediately, the eyes of the haughty and arrogant Jing Yun were filled with a hint of respect. He cupped his fists and saluted, “Greetings to Empress Yao Fei!”
“Mm.” Yao Fei coldly nodded her head. Not everyone was able to make her smile at them.
Originally, Jing Yun did not know who Yao Fei was. It was the Honorable Demon General of his tribe who told him about her identity.
This lady was not a popular courtesan of the Misty Rain House like what the other demons thought.
In fact, she was the concubine of the Spirit King who resided in the Spirit King Palace of the Immortal Demon World!
The Misty Rain House might just be a common brothel to the ancient demons, but the Spirit King Palace was an extremely significant force which no demons would be unaware of.
According to what he was told, she remained in the Luo Yun Province for two purposes.
Firstly, she had taken a fancy on Lu Daochen’s talents, especially his spirit augmentation techniques. She wants to give him the opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Demon World on behalf of the Spirit King Palace.
Secondly, she had set her eyes upon the Star of the Celestial Emperor. She wants to assemble all the maps and activate the World Passage to the Third World in order to retrieve that star. If she succeeds in obtaining it, it would be a huge contribution to the Spirit King Palace.
However, for now, let’s not discuss about her second purpose.
With her first intention, as long as Lu Daochen becomes a member of the Spirit King Palace, it would almost be certain for him to attain the Void Fragmentation Realm and ascend to the Immortal Demon World.
Therefore, according to Lu Daochen’s shrewdness, it would be impossible for him to harm the Demon Generals from the Upper World as harming them would only offend some great enemies up there.
It was why Jing Yun was fully confident that Lu Daochen would not dare to act!
As he expected, when Lu Zhan1f who was already brimming with killing intent eagerly looked forward to put the three generals of the Pure Flame Tribe down, Lu Daochen let out a dry cough and waved his hand to dismiss all the archers.
“Stand down! Don’t be rude towards the Demon Generals of the Upper World!”
“Yes, General!” Each and every one of the black-armored archers backed-off one by one.
Lu Zhan’s face was filled with discontentment.
What the hell is going on? Why should we restrain ourselves and allow them to act like that in our own territory?!
He glared at Lu Daochen with his large, angry eyes, showing his discontentment towards Lu Daochen’s decision to show the white feather at them.
“Lu Zhan, sit down!”
“Fine!” Lu Zhan clenched his teeth and sat down, bottling up his anger.
Most of the important beings of the Luo Yun Province at the scene felt relieved inwardly.
Luckily they didn’t come to blows and harmed the Demon Generals from the Upper World and turn this matter into a big deal. In this way, the Luo Yun Tribe won’t get involved in a terrible disaster.
Lu Daochen gradually rose from his seat. The hand which he used to lean on his crutch reached into the pocket on his waist and took out a crimson-red map that was made of the skin of demon beasts.
When it was publicly displayed, the eyes of Jing Yun, Jin Qun and Li Ban were blazing with enthusiasm.
Even Ning Fan’s eyes brightened up with interest.
Although this incomplete map was just at the size of a palm, it emanated an extremely ferocious demon beast qi which caused everyone at the scene, except for Ning Fan and Yao Fei, to shudder in fear at the same instant.
“The map! Lu Daochen, hand it over to me now!” Jing Yun made a step forward, trying to seize it from Lu Daochen’s hand.
However, Lu Daochen’s eyes flashed with the color of white clouds and within his left eye, two snow-white demon stars emerged in succession!
Upon seeing the stars, Jing Yun’s expression drastically changed and hurriedly retreated. His forehead was beaded with cold sweat!
“The Bestowal Star!”
The second demon star was granted by the Demon Marshal. It carried a great ability that was enough to kill an Early Spirit Severing Realm being!
“What are you?! How dare you directly call out this old man’s full name?! The map is now in my hand, but there’s no way you can get it from me by yourself!”
Lu Daochen slammed on his crutch firmly. A tremendous aura force rushed at Jing Yun, causing him to retreat backwards for three steps. He coughed out a mouthful of blood for every step he took. The slabstone which his foot landed on cracked into pieces. The original confidence in his eyes was replaced by terror!
So this is the Honorable Demon General of the Luo Yun Tribe who is famously known for his benevolent and kind countenance…
It had been a long time since he demonstrated his power and might. As such, countless people began to look down upon him. However, his combat power probably was sufficient enough to put up a fight against a Late Spirit Severing Realm expert who did not possess the Bestowal Star!
Under the power of the star, even the two Demon Generals of the Upper World, Jin Qun and Li Ban, who were used to seeing a second demon star, were filled with astonishment. Neither of them could remain calm.
Jing Yun gulped down his saliva.
If I didn’t have the two Demon Generals from the Upper World as my backers, the Cloud General, Lu Daochen, would have beheaded me just now!
“I am sorry for being disrespectful to the Cloud General. Please forgive me for my impoliteness!” Jing Yun gritted his teeth and cupped his fists to offer an apology.
“Forgive you?! Hmmph… Go back and tell Lu Jiefen to cut out his unrealistic dream of breaking through to the level of the Demon Marshal! There is no way I will give him the map, not even the Star of Celestial Emperor!”
