Chapter 429: Chapter 176: Qi Molong, the Demon King’s Feast and Farming in the City

The colossal voice cascaded through the mountains, spreading for hundreds of miles. The land itself, rivers and mountains alike, trembled in unison. Countless Demon Ghosts, no matter where they were, all fell to their knees and cried out as one:

“Great King Ink Dragon, for ten thousand years!”

The unified cry of ten thousand demons was immense. Heaven and earth seemed to tremble, and the mountains swayed as if they might shatter at any moment.

At the foot of the mountains, Chen Qin’Yin, who had just repelled a vicious tiger Great Demon, was about to deliver the killing blow when a chill shot through her heart.

The moment that colossal voice echoed, even the Little Demons who had been her enemies all dropped to the ground, kowtowing in pious reverence.

They offered no resistance, not even when they were being hacked into pulp by her blade.

How could she not be horrified by such unity and reverence, a devotion that completely disregarded life and death?

‘A Feathered Great Demon… It must be a Feathered Great Demon!’

Chen Qin’Yin looked up, her heart instantly filling with dread.

Though it was countless miles away, the giant face seemed to be right in front of her.

The enormous face looked down, and she no longer dared to strike.

The huge Red Gourd on her back began to tremble, emitting a low hum as if it, too, sensed the immense danger.

If its power was so great from an unknown distance, Huaisheng Daoist, who bore the brunt of it, was instantly forced out of the void.

‘This Demon King…’

For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on Huaisheng Daoist’s face as he stared at the enormous visage.

‘How is this possible?’

‘How could it be human!?’

Huaisheng Daoist was shaken to his core.

Demons, of course, were capable of Transformation.

A Great Demon who had reached the Divine Platform Realm could, in theory, already take human form.

But transforming into a human didn’t make one truly human. Even a Feathered Great Demon was still a demon, not a person.

But he could tell at a glance that this giant face was not a demon’s at all. It was human!

The Demon King of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the leader of all demons in these mountains, was actually a human!

It was utterly absurd, completely unbelievable!

“Human?”

High in the sky, the giant face had naturally spotted Huaisheng Daoist, as well as Chen Qin’Yin at the foot of the mountain.

A subtle expression appeared on its features.

“I am no human!”

The sound wave boomed from its mouth like a clap of thunder.

The next moment, the giant face suddenly began to change.

In an instant, it drew in the roiling Demon Qi between heaven and earth and rapidly condensed into a human figure.

The figure was a man dressed in a long black robe. His face was unnaturally handsome, and his lips were curled into a sinister, wicked smile.

“This king is Qi Molong. And who might you be?”

The black-robed young man stood in the sky, hands clasped behind his back. He looked down upon Huaisheng Daoist on the mountain peak, his eyes gleaming faintly as he said:

“I heard that a few unknown masters came to the Longye Plain and built a strange structure.”

“Could that… be you?”

Down at the foot of the mountain, Chen Qin’Yin’s heart skipped a beat.

‘This Elder Demon actually knows about us.’

Then again, she realized it made sense.

Over the past year, they had seen very few humans, but they had encountered an unprecedented number of Demon Ghosts.

After killing them batch after batch, it was only natural that a Demon King would eventually take notice.

‘Perhaps that old bastard, Huaisheng Daoist, came here precisely because he sensed Qi Molong was watching them.’

“I am the Daoist Huaisheng. Greetings, Demon King.”

Huaisheng Daoist cupped his hands slightly and said:

“We hail from the Central Continent, under orders from the Master Boxing Saint, to build a God-Sealing Platform here in the Eastern Continent.”

He spoke frankly, hiding nothing.

There was no point in hiding it.

A God-Sealing Platform was not something that could be built just anywhere. It had to be rooted in the Earth Veins of the mountains and rivers.

It had to align with the sun, moon, and Celestial Stars above, and with the Earth Veins and all of creation below. Once completed, it would inevitably shake the entire Eastern Continent.

A commotion of that scale would be impossible to conceal.

Moreover, once they finished the God-Sealing Platform, they still had to travel to the Southern Continent, or perhaps the Northern Continent. They couldn’t stand guard over the platform forever.

This was the true reason he had come.

“From the Central Continent? The Master Boxing Saint?”

“Building a God-Sealing Platform?”

A glint appeared in Qi Molong’s eyes, his thoughts unreadable.

Without any perceptible movement, he was suddenly standing atop the mountain range in the next instant, a mere few hundred yards from Huaisheng Daoist.

His speed was so incredible that Huaisheng Daoist’s pupils couldn’t help but constrict.

STEP! STEP! STEP!

Qi Molong slowly paced forward, looking calmly at Huaisheng Daoist.

“The Central Continent is a land of talent and spiritual energy, a place blessed by the fortune of heaven and earth. Why didn’t this Master Boxing Saint of yours build his God-Sealing Platform there?”

“Why run all the way to the Eastern Continent to build it?”

His tone was even, but it dripped with contempt.

His gaze was intensely predatory. He looked at Huaisheng Daoist like a lamb to the slaughter, a fresh cut of meat on a platter.

Greed, indifference, cruelty, savagery…

A thousand emotions converged in his eyes.

It was not a gaze a human should possess, and yet, the Qi Molong before him was undeniably human in appearance.

Furthermore, though his words were somewhat archaic, he was speaking the language of the Central Continent…

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Huaisheng Daoist slowly spoke:

“The True Master naturally has his reasons. How would this humble Daoist dare to question them?”

“Heh…”

Qi Molong stood with his hands behind his back, his robes stirring with the surging Demon Qi.

“The Eastern Continent may be small, but it is not a place for a mere Void Realm cultivator to run amok.”

“Did that Boxing Saint Daoist of yours send you here because he ran out of men, or did he send you here to die?”

Huaisheng Daoist simply shook his head, saying nothing.

His gaze shifted toward the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.

From within the massive city, two black shadows were streaking through the sky toward them.
