312 Single-Horned Little Black Dog (1/2)
”Since you were wrong, you have to pay the consequences.”
When the silver-robed, middle-aged man spoke up next, his voice was fully devoid of emotion. Because of this, his words scared the old man till his eyes fluttered and his expression changed greatly.
In the next instant...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
The old man continuously kowtowed, and blood flowed all over the floor. It was almost as if he did not know he was bleeding out! He did not appear to be stopping anytime soon, and he even continued to do so with greater speed.
”Hmph!”
The middle-aged man in the silver robes scoffed aloud. The old man, who was previously kowtowing on the floor, suddenly jerked violently, and he slumped over without a second opinion.
The instant he fell to the ground, the old man disappeared, and he was replaced by a large, greenish-grey fox.
This was not a normal fox as its body was much bigger than that of normal wolves. On the large fox's head, there was also a tuft of white hair, and this was said to be a scar left behind from its earlier days.
It was clear that this large fox was quite old.
With the death of the fox beast, the remaining on looking beasts all turned away, except for the giant ape beast. When they looked at the middle-aged man in silver robes, their eyes were filled with even more respect and awe.
”Human, you can go.”
When the silver-robed, middle-aged man looked at Zhou Donghuang, it was with a cold expression. He used an even tone that did not reveal any emotion.
Faced with such an ”invitation,” Zhou Donghuang did not take any action immediately. He merely looked at the middle-aged man with a peaceful gaze and said, ”Are you the king of this forest?”
”Yes, I am.”
The silver-robed, middle-aged man was visibly frustrated now. ”Human, although your skills are not bad, if you think you can do as you please here, you are wrong. Seeing as you are of a high martial arts status, I will let you pass this time.”
”I came here to find you.” Zhou Donghuang's face did not change. ”Before I've settled the things I'm concerned with, I will not leave.”
”Human, are you trying to provoke me?”
The middle-aged man was now enraged, and his robes started trembling and shaking. Previously, his eyes were normal and human-like. However, now, they had a touch of gold in them before eventually turning completely golden.
This time, Zhou Donghuang did not say much either. The White Tiger Primordial Soul Power appeared again, and it stared beadily at the silver-robed, middle-aged man.
Once the middle-aged man's face darkened, the beasts surrounding him who could turn into human forms all spread out, and they closely surrounded Zhou Donghuang. The looks that they all gave Zhou Donghuang were full of extreme fear.
As for the middle-aged man in silver robes, his face had on an extremely nasty expression.
A big battle was to ensue.
”What did you want to find me for?”
In the end, they did not fight physically.
The silver-robed, middle-aged man glanced at the breathless giant ape before looking at Zhou Donghuang's confident figure and stance. In the end, he did not take any action, and his eyes had on a look of fear as well.
Seeing this, the surrounding beasts that had entrapped Zhou Donghuang all breathed a sigh of relief.
If they had a choice, they were all unwilling to make the human youth before them an enemy. The beasts had a gut feeling that caused them to be extremely fearful of the human youth before them.
The feeling that this young man had given them was not because his Primordial Soul Power was unique. It was as if his inner body was hiding some other form of power that caused the on looking beasts to feel uneasy.
In truth, the silver-robed, middle-aged man, the Demon King of this entire forest, who was in human form, had figured this out as well.
”I would to ask you for a favor,” Zhou Donghuang replied without beating around the bush.
”A favor?”
The middle-aged man furrowed his brows. ”Your powers are not weak. If there's something you cannot settle, I'm sure I would not be able to take care of it either.”
If he had known that this young man was weak, he would have had more confidence in killing him.
He had personally witnessed this human take action and injure the giant ape under him. The young man's Primordial Soul Power was extremely strong, even though it was only at the late Primordial Soul stage. The power the young man had unleashed was comparable to that of his own ultimate Primordial Stage Power, and it gave him a strong feeling of being trapped. His soul had felt suffocated.
Due to that incident, he had felt much fear towards this young man, and he was not confident in defeating him, even if he took action against the young man.
”I'm not asking for you to help in killing something.” Zhou Donghuang shook his head.
”I came to find you because I would like you to use the beasts under you to help me find a small demon.”
”A small demon?”
Upon hearing Zhou Donghuang's words, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief before following up with another question, ”What kind of small demon are you looking for?”
”A dog.”
As Zhou Donghuang spoke, he began to vividly describe the divine beast cub that he remembered from his past life. As long as he shared the specific characteristics of this divine beast cub, with the influence that this Demon King had among the demons of the forest, it would be easy to find it.
After describing the characteristics of this divine beast cub, Zhou Donghuang spoke again.
”If you help me with this favor, I will not be ungrateful. I will help you enter the Divine Transformation stage.”
Zhou Donghuang's first sentence did not affect the Demon King much. However, after hearing the second sentence that Zhou Donghuang had uttered, the middle-aged man's eyes immediately narrowed, and his face had on an expression of shock. ”What? Do you mean to say that you can help me enter the Divine Transformation stage?
”Are you speaking the truth?”
