Chapter 2754 - 57: Touch Cloud Demons Sleepless

The winds of Yun City are fiercely turbulent tonight.

No one will sleep tonight.

In the grand mansion of the Moyun Quan Family, Ken Xihua gritted his teeth as he watched Yu Xin in the night sky’s virtual images, murmuring in puzzlement, "Mage, didn’t you say you would find a way for us to glimpse the real secret of Shenxiao ahead of others to gain the upper hand? Why is it now that... the whole city knows?"

The Master of the Moyun Quan Family, the Demon King Quanshouzeng, stood nearby to guard, his expression peculiarly odd.

Standing in the center of the courtyard was a skinny, tall young Monk in a bright red Kasaya, his bald head marked with six red scars, his eyes incredibly bright. Hearing Ken Xihua’s question, he placed his palms together in front of his chest, somewhat embarrassedly replied, "I am insufficient in controlling the Knowledge and Hearing Bell’s power to fully accommodate the Shenxiao Secret Cache. I accidentally let the real secret slip out..."

The so-called "real secret" in his description seemed to have a life of its own, almost with its own spirit.

Ken Xihua’s lips moved slightly, finally forcing out a comment, "Mage Yang is indeed humorous."

The cooperation between the Moyun Quan Family and Ancient Nan Mountain this time was facilitated by Demon King Quan Yingyang. But honestly, if Quan Yingyang hadn’t made great concessions on certain matters, the Moyun Quan Family wouldn’t even have the qualification to cooperate with Ancient Nan Mountain.

Take Shujia Lan from Black Lotus Temple coming to Yun City; it was like running rampant, freely exploring, doing whatever he pleased, did he greet any of the local families?

It wasn’t due to ignorance of worldly affairs.

It simply wasn’t necessary.

Therefore, even though Ken Xihua might harbor resentment, thinking the monks from Ancient Nan Mountain were absurdly crazy, turning a perfectly good secret into something all demons knew, he dared not utter a single word of dissatisfaction.

This mage was ranked fifth among the latest Heavenly List of venerable figures, two places higher than Lu Qilang; he would simply follow behind without complaint, for there was no room for grumble.

If Quan Xizai hadn’t died, how could such a hitchhiking opportunity fall to him?

Yang Yu, the accomplished mage of Ancient Nan Mountain, turned to glance at Ken Xihua with some curiosity, "I indeed made an error, is that humorous?"

An awkward compliment is better replaced by silence, especially when facing someone straightforward.

Ken Xihua ultimately lacked Chai Asi’s life experiences, failing to awaken the corresponding talents, and couldn’t find the words for a moment.

Quanshouzeng appropriately sighed beside him, "Maybe this is what Buddhism refers to as Yuan Law."

Whether he thought of the deceased Quan Xizai, or something else, his tone was filled with lament, with a richly detailed emotion.

Mage Yang Yu nodded, "You possess great wisdom, I Buddha mercifully crosses all beings, loves all demons widely, and since this real secret doesn’t wish to be hidden, let them know, it is no matter."

If any demon were to say such words, Quanshouzeng would probably think it hypocritical. Mercifully crossing all beings, widely loving all demons, how have you loved Black Lotus Temple? But hearing it from this young mage’s lips, for some reason, made this old soul accustomed to worldly deceitfulness, feel an honesty within.

It seemed like he was telling the truth...

Quanshouzeng nodded again, turned his head and remained silent.

Yang Yu looked up at the starry skies.

The treasured Knowledge and Hearing Bell from Ancient Nan Mountain resonated with him.

The night is cool as water, he bathes in moonlight like Buddha Light.

...

...

The City Lord’s mansion in Yun City.

Listening to Yu Xin’s ranting and raving, the multi-eyed Zhu Zheng only felt his face burn painfully.

Am I foolish? Do you even have the right to critique heroes of the world here?

Gritting his teeth in hatred, he said, "This bird demon, soon I’ll have his mouth sewn shut!"

Beside him, the Lord of Yun City, True Demon Zhu Xuan merely laughed, "Yang Yu from Ancient Nan Mountain also came, even bringing the Knowledge and Hearing Bell. Whether this Shenxiao Secret Cache is true or fake, it indeed proves to be a sought-after treasure... Lan Ruo, this is indeed a test for you."

Zhu Zheng lowered his brows and said nothing more.

And Zhu Lanruo, poised before the qin rack, kept a calm expression and said slowly, "I now truly believe, once the Shenxiao Secret Cache is opened, we can reach it within ten breaths."

According to the current situation, it’s tough not to be there in ten breaths for anyone with thoughts or methods.

This makes all the efforts Zhu Zheng invested in Yu Xin seem extravagant.

Truly a futile effort, why toil, why labor.

...

...

When the bell’s sound echoed throughout the city.

The Family Head of the Ape Family, Yuan Jiazheng, was drinking alone by the clay stove.

The young talent of the Ape Family, Yuan Mengji, was still casting nets everywhere, searching for traces of She Guyu.

Heard the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, heard Yu Xin laughingly calling out and scolding everyone from various places.

Yuan Mengji paused for a moment, "Hmm? Why did Yu Xin mention She Guyu? Does he know where She Guyu is?"

As the Family Head of the Ape Family, Yuan Jiazheng is already very old. Yet, his age is due to the ebbing of life, his cultivation declines only upon death.

He intended to cultivate a successor early on, but clearly, Yuan Mengji still lacked greatly.

At this moment, the old man raised his glass, shook his head, and cursed with a laugh, "Still concerned about She Guyu! You really remain true to your first intentions!"

Yuan Mengji chuckled, "I have prepared fully, and I must bite off a large piece of meat from Lu Qilang’s mouth, let’s see if he dares to disregard others again! As if treating Yun City purely as his own playground!"

Yuan Jiazheng reached for the wine jug on the table, shook it to hear the sound, and said, "Yu Xin said so much, did you catch even a bit of the key point?"

Yuan Mengji quickly brought over another jar of old wine from the side, poured it to fill the small clay stove heated wine pot. After thinking, he angrily stated, "Yu Xin dared to say I’m not worth mentioning, I won’t let him off!"
