Chapter 2431 -2436: Journey to the Demon Palace

“Xia Liu, if I’m not mistaken, all of these should be recovery-type Magic Potions.”

“Recovery-type? Good Friend Xia, what are you planning to do?”

Xia Liu suddenly returned from the Great Thousand Realms and had King Lan fetch such a huge amount of recovery-type Magic Potions.

There was definitely more to it than met the eye!

Only before a battle begins would someone make this kind of preparation.

Both of them guessed that Xia Liu was going to seek out the Demon King!

“This is to prepare for the day I set foot on the Southern Region.”

“Good Friend Xia, listen to me! You absolutely can’t fall for the Demon King’s scheme, he’s plotting to destroy you!”

Duan Tian felt a bit of regret; if he’d known it would come to this, he might not have told Xia Liu that his physical body had been destroyed.

Xia Liu shook his head. “Did you forget? That day I made an appointment with the Demon King—three months from then, I’ll lift the Heaven-Slaying Sealing.”

Mm…

King Lan and Duan Tian recalled that matter and couldn’t help but sink into thought.

“Three months! By then I should be able to fight again! No need to panic!”

King Lan suddenly snapped out of it.

Right now his strength was slowly recovering, and his execution of the brand-new Cultivation Technique was becoming smoother and more satisfying.

When the time came, facing the Demon King with fresh new power, King Lan was extremely confident!

“We’ll talk about that when the time comes. For now, prepare these things for me.”

Xia Liu spoke indifferently.

The Demon King had already completely enraged him.

Without paying a massive price, this matter would not be over!

King Lan said nothing more.

He sent people to the national treasury to gather the Magic Potions Xia Liu needed.

“Friend Duan Tian, how are you going to resolve your physical body?”

Looking at Duan Tian’s Demon Infant, Xia Liu felt a stab of sorrow.

It was precisely because Duan Tian had gone to the battlefield to aid him.

That a dignified Demon Lord of the eighth rank ended up in such a state; Xia Liu felt deeply unwilling.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Once I return to Demon Hunter City, I have my own way to resolve it. It’s just that my Cultivation might drop a bit.”

“Friend, this time I’ve dragged you down.”

“Now that’s going too far. Back in Demon Hunter City, if it weren’t for you, the entire Great Thousand Realms might have been annihilated. Compared to that, what is this little injury of mine?”

“Xia Liu, don’t feel guilty. The ones who should feel guilty are us.”

King Lan thought the same.

Anyone who’d spent time with Xia Liu, over the long run, would find that he was the one who kept giving them benefits.

And they themselves could not provide him with much help.

“Haha! Enough about that. I’ll go back and adjust first. King Lan, just have someone deliver the Magic Potions over.”

“Mm, rest well.”

…

In the days that followed, Xia Liu remained in seclusion.

He used those Magic Potions to refine Pills that could restore Magic Power and Demon Essence.

Because Xia Liu’s own Demon Essence was close to the Desolate Ancient level.

He might need to take three Medicinal Pills to achieve the effect one pill would have for someone else.

So he had to refine more.

Although this was a drawback, it also came with a heaven-defying advantage.

Namely that his power far surpassed others of the same rank!

The next day, green clouds covered half of Azure Blue Palace.

Demonic miasma surged.

Everyone within Azure Blue Palace went on full alert.

Because this kind of aura could only belong to Cultivators of the Demon Clan who cultivated Demon Techniques!

The Demon King’s Envoy had arrived!

Under the gaze of countless eyes, a Demon Lord eighth-rank expert walked out from the green clouds.

Descending straight into the Azure Blue Hall.

Although Yao Zheng did not possess strength on par with King Lan.

He had the Demon King and the many Southern Region powerhouses backing him.

Today, facing thousands of Western Region experts alone.

He still felt not the slightest fear.

“By order of the Demon King, I have come today to Azure Blue Palace to invite Xia Liu to the Southern Region to lift the Sealing placed upon Heaven-Slaying.”

“Xia Liu is currently in seclusion. You should go back and wait. Once he emerges, I’ll inform him.”

King Lan replied bluntly.

“Oh? This matter is of great significance. King Lan, are you sure you can bear the consequences?”

Ever since the day Xia Liu and Heaven-Slaying fought to the death.

Yao Zheng no longer put King Lan in his eyes.

His Inner Origin had already collapsed; before long, without Yao Zheng lifting a finger, King Lan might explode and die on his own.

If the Demon King didn’t find it a pity to lose Heaven-Slaying, the Western Region and Azure Blue Palace would already have been renamed two months ago!

King Lan! A laughable King!

“You dare say one more word?”

King Lan didn’t flare up, but his expression grew sterner.

Yet in Yao Zheng’s eyes, King Lan’s demeanor was nothing but a display of cowardly incompetence.

How could a King tolerate an ant acting wild before him?

“Listen closely. If Xia Liu doesn’t return to the Demon King Palace with me today, I can guarantee that before long, rivers of blood will flow in Azure Blue City!”

“Impudent!”

King Lan was on the verge of losing his temper.

But he did not erupt immediately.

He had to pave the way for Xia Liu; let the people of the Demon King Palace jump around today.

“You’re welcome to try!”

Facing the Demon Lord experts in the Azure Blue Hall, Yao Zheng swept his gaze over them one by one.

He wanted to see who dared make a move today!

“Late at night, a dog howls on the roof. Do you know why people don’t bother with it?”

Suddenly, a cold, indifferent voice drifted slowly in from outside the hall.

Then, a familiar, sharp-featured face appeared before everyone’s eyes.

“Oh? May I know what you think about that, sir?”

Seeing Xia Liu, Yao Zheng smiled meaningfully.

“Because if people bicker too much with a beast, doesn’t that make them the same as the beast?”

“Hahahaha!!!”

The moment Xia Liu’s words fell, within a second or two, the Azure Blue Hall erupted into pleasant laughter.

Yao Zheng suddenly realized what Xia Liu’s words implied.

His face changed instantly.

His Demon Lord eighth-rank foundation blasted open.

But just then, Xia Liu’s eyes, brimming with killing intent, landed on him.

“If you’re not afraid of becoming like Heaven-Slaying ahead of time, feel free to try.”

Without any Demon Might, just a short sentence and a single glance.

Were enough to make Yao Zheng unable to utter another word.

“Heh heh, since you’ve shown yourself, sir, then honor your promise from that day—three months from now, go and lift the Sealing on Heaven-Slaying.”

Yao Zheng was actually somewhat afraid.

Xia Liu’s capabilities seemed endless.

And today, King Lan’s condition was still shrouded in uncertainty.

Without the Demon King present, Yao Zheng feared he might fall into a predicament here.

So he decided to take a step back.

First bring Xia Liu back to the Demon King Palace.

After Xia Liu lifted Heaven-Slaying’s Sealing.

He would come to know what true desolation meant!

Xia Liu didn’t look at Yao Zheng again, nor did he respond.

He simply left him hanging there in a state of enigmatic awkwardness.

A dignified Demon Lord eighth-rank expert.

And this was the central territory of the Demon God Kingdom.

Yao Zheng’s rage almost burned his soul!

He kept repeating to himself silently: don’t be impulsive, don’t Increase Strength, wait until Xia Liu lifts Heaven-Slaying’s Sealing.

Then I’ll make sure he wishes he were dead!

“King Lan, we’ll meet again.”

“Mm.”

After they exchanged farewells, Xia Liu signaled for Yao Zheng to lead the way.

On this trip, he intended to make the Demon King pay a disastrous price!

If possible, he would send him straight into Reincarnation!

It was only after the two left Azure Blue Palace that Duan Tian’s Demon Infant drifted out from King Lan’s body.

“Fortunately, King Lan kept his composure. Otherwise, the plan would have been ruined.”
