Chapter 909 – The Devil King’s Scruples
Chapter 909 – The Devil King’s Scruples
The Yellow Sand Demon King’s gaze fell on the mansion in front of him, and after casually sweeping a few eyes, his eyes condensed.
This seemingly insignificant mansion had actually been set up with quite a few formations.
The formations were permeated with an arcane aura, and the vast majority of them were formations that he had never seen before.
But …… if the power of the formations is strong again, is it rare that they can still stop him a Demon King?
The Yellow Sand Demon King raised his palm with an indifferent expression and slapped it towards the mansion’s gate.
The palm that contained fifty percent of his strength, before it touched the gate, was stopped by the repeated formations and invisibly dissolved.
Only then did the Yellow Sand Demon King realize that these formations appeared to be independent, but they were actually interlocking and mutually integral.
If one were to rashly break into the formations, one might not really be able to break through them.
His complexion clouded over, and there was a hint of scorn in his gaze as he stared at the mansion.
Since the other party had such attainments in the Dao of Formations, their strength should by no means be underestimated.
It was just that if you were sleeping on the side of the couch, would you allow others to sleep soundly?
Wood Rock’s residence is in the royal city, not far from his royal palace, with the strength of the conjoined stage, it will be there in a moment.
If the other party wanted to make a move against him, it would be impossible to defend!
In a flash, the Yellow Sand Demon King already had a decision in his mind.
This person had silently killed Muyan, and blatantly occupied Muyan’s place, so he was a foe, not a friend.
It must be removed!
The killing intent in the Yellow Sand Demon King’s eyes skyrocketed, his body’s demonic qi was mobilized and gathered on top of his right hand, and together with the thousand pounds of force contained in his demonic body, he slammed towards the formation in front of him.
This time, he used his full strength!
Not only did he use his demonic energy, but he also controlled a portion of his demonic energy to turn it into the Law of Sand, in order to blast this mansion into rubble with a single punch.
However, the Yellow Sand Demon King’s intentions were destined to fall flat.
A fist that could crack mountains and split the sea, smashed into this mansion that was heavily wrapped in formations, and only caused these formations to tremble for a few moments.
Even the gate of the mansion was not able to be blown open, let alone the entire mansion being blown into ruins.
The Yellow Sand Demon King’s pupils contracted violently, finding it hard to imagine what he was seeing, and even wondering if something had gone wrong.
He pursed his lips and used a point of force to smash towards the bottom.
In a flash, a large hole several feet in circumference appeared around him with his fist as the center.
Countless cracks, along the big hole towards the surrounding spread, the entire hall also for it to move, a good burst of ground shaking, the hall in the building collapsed a full ninety percent.
Only the mansion that was protected by the array, as if nothing had happened, was not affected in any way.
The Yellow Sand Demon King slowly retracted his fist, an unprecedentedly grave look appearing in his eyes.
Although he had yet to formally fight with the owner of this mansion, he knew that he had already lost.
Based on the formation alone, the other party was invincible.
After realizing this, the Yellow Sand Demon King’s emotions were complicated.
His cultivation was very high, and his strength was one of the most outstanding amongst a group of Demon Kings, thus he had always been very conceited.
It was impossible for someone to be so much stronger than him.
Unless, this person was from the Imperial City and had been personally instructed by the Demon King …….
The Yellow Sand Demon King made a big commotion, many city guards rushed here at the sound, even the other two Demon Generals in the city, Red Snail and Purple Snail, who were twins to each other, also rushed here.
Red Snail and Purple Snail looked at each other and quickly realized that something was wrong.
After the two of them dispatched all of the crowd of city guards, they looked towards the Yellow Sand Demon King.
“Your Majesty, what exactly happened? Woodrock has disappeared, could it be that he has met with an accident?”
The Yellow Sand Demon King had regained his composure, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right. Although he didn’t know why, this person had appeared in the remote Yellow Sand City, but since the other party had come, he was bound to have a purpose.
He had made so much commotion, and the other party had always remained indifferent.
Perhaps the owner of this mansion did not have much hostility towards Yellow Sand City.
Otherwise, he could have just turned on him directly.
Thinking of this, the Yellow Sand Demon King’s heart was a little more settled, and he looked towards Red Snail and Purple Snail.
“The owner of this mansion, I’ve already roughly guessed what kind of person it is, you and the others don’t need to worry much. Woodrock is dead, from today onwards, no one is allowed to come near here.”
“Yes.”
Although Red Snail and Purple Snail felt that there were some oddities, their sisters had always been obedient to the Yellow Sand Demon King.
Thus without asking anything more, they directly followed the king’s orders and left after answering.
After the two left, the Yellow Sand Demon King gazed deeply at the mansion, ordered the palace to be restored to its original state, and then turned to leave.
Xu Chuniang, who was in the process of responding to the calamity, didn’t care about this little episode.
Because the formation was set up by her own hands, on top of the formation, she had incorporated many laws, greatly enhancing the formation’s defense.
The Yellow Sand Demon King would not be able to break these formations even if he continuously attacked for a month.
But the Scorpion Woman, who did not know the inside story, was really scared for a while when she saw the Yellow Sand Demon King appearing outside.
Until she saw with her own eyes the formation’s strong and terrifying defense, the scorpion woman was completely relieved, and concentrated on refining the demon general’s corpse.
She didn’t have the Underworld Fire, nor did she have any similar means, so refining the corpse of the Demon General was really laborious.
However, she had experienced life and death a few times, and her nature was much more calm than the average demonic cultivator, and she was able to withstand the tedium of cultivation.
Even if the progress was slow, she never stopped refining.
Time rushed by, and in the blink of an eye another twenty years passed.
After twenty years, the Scorpion Woman finally successfully refined the corpse of the Demon General, transforming the demonic energy and soul energy within it into her own.
On this day, after absorbing the last strand of soul power, she finally stepped through that bottleneck.
The Scorpioness was very excited, but she still remembered the rules of the city, not being able to transmute within the city.
She left the mansion and honestly flew towards the outside of the city, and the lightning tribulation moved with her.
The Yellow Sand Demon King, who was always watching the movements in the mansion, watched with his own eyes as the Scorpion Woman flew away, and a flash of doubt flashed through his gaze.
He was certain that the cultivation level of the mansion’s owner was by no means below his own.
However, why was the cultivation of this female cultivator who flew out of the mansion so weak?
The Yellow Sand Demon King didn’t look at the Scorpion Woman anymore, and turned his gaze down to the mansion.
Could it be that there was another person hiding in there?
The woman who flew away just now was the couple of the person inside?
As for that woman’s daoist couple, why did she kill Muyan, naturally, it was to help him cultivate.
After the Yellow Sand Demon King figured this out, a hint of realization appeared in his eyes.
He only hoped that after the woman finished her calamity, her daoist couple would take her and leave Yellow Sand City in a hurry!
The Yellow Sand Demon King’s speculation was abysmally different from the truth.
He waited and waited until the woman had successfully finished her tribulation and flew back to that mansion, and he didn’t wait for them to leave.
He didn’t know what was going on, and he didn’t want to provoke the owner of that mansion again, so he had to pretend that nothing had happened.
Anyway, he had been observing for twenty years and found that the owner of this mansion was peaceful.
If they were willing to stay here, so be it.
