Invincible Snake Emperor
Chapter 394 - 390: Meeting the Demon Management Bureau Group Leader Again
In terms of bloodlines, Ancient Bloodlines were Super Level. Above Ancient Bloodlines were Divine Beast Bloodlines.
However, both the Bull Demon King and Celestial Master Zhang were Rank Three Demon Spirits, equivalent to Ancient Exotic Beasts. To improve their potential, he would have to purchase Divine Beast Bloodlines.
But after leaving Bai Town, Tu Xiao’an’s Faith Points, while still increasing daily, weren’t growing by much.
Purchasing an Ancient Bloodline was no problem at all, but he would have to wait for a Divine Beast Bloodline.
In this big city, Tu Xiao’an had no idea how to expand his following as the Snake King.
He couldn’t just reveal his true form in the skies above Wencheng. This wasn’t Bai Town. No one would kneel before him; he’d likely just scare a group of mentally fragile people to death.
’Once I prove my path,’ Tu Xiao’an thought, ’I’ll have to properly spread the renown of the Snake King. I’ll make an entire town worship me, then a City, and eventually, an entire nation will worship me, the Snake King.’
Only then would his Faith Points truly start to pile up.
Tu Xiao’an planned to get an Azure Dragon Bloodline for Celestial Master Zhang, the Snake Flood Dragon, and a Bull Demon King Bloodline for the Bull Demon King, making them even stronger.
All of this required a massive amount of Faith Points. The faith of Bai Town’s residents alone was far from enough.
"Master, are you really going to the Yaoling Mountain Range?" the Bull Demon King asked again, a bit sheepishly.
Tu Xiao’an nodded. "We’ll set out in two days."
’Time is money,’ he thought. ’I’m idle anyway. The Yaoling Mountain Range is full of Demons, so I can bring Azure Owl and Golden Pupils to grind monsters and level up.’
"Master, we couldn’t even handle the Snake Demon from the Bai Family. How are we supposed to deal with the White Demon King of the Yaoling Mountain Range? It’s much stronger than that Snake Demon."
Tu Xiao’an’s eyes lit up. "Is that right? The stronger, the better."
’It’s over. He’s completely lost his mind.’
The Bull Demon King was filled with despair. ’Where does he get this courage?’ Celestial Master Zhang, on the other hand, was much calmer and showed no reaction.
"Don’t worry. With me here, you can all just treat it as a vacation."
’A vacation before we die?’
How could the Bull Demon King possibly know how many tricks Tu Xiao’an had up his sleeve? The look on his face was grim.
Tu Xiao’an lounged comfortably on the sofa, browsing the System Mall like he was on Amazon as all sorts of ideas popped into his head.
He had no plans to go out that day. He would just relax, and after two days of rest, he would set off for the Yaoling Mountain Range.
Tu Xiao’an idly chatted with the Bull Demon King and Celestial Master Zhang. Azure Owl would occasionally chime in, but Golden Pupils could only let out a few YOWLS.
’It’s actually pretty miserable, not being able to speak,’ he mused. ’It can’t get a word in when everyone’s chatting, and even if it did, no one would know what it was trying to say.’
’We’re just not on the same wavelength.’
Suddenly, Tu Xiao’an’s ears twitched. His gaze shifted, and he saw ripples undulate in the air by the balcony. An aloof-looking man descended from the sky with his hands clasped behind his back, landing on the balcony like an Exiled Immortal.
He had a refined and distinguished bearing, an impressive figure indeed. The aura of someone in a high position was impossible to hide.
Everyone in the living room was stunned. This guy was making quite an entrance, descending from the sky instead of using the front door. The Bull Demon King was about to fly into a rage. ’Who dares to trespass in my Niu Mansion?’
When he saw who it was, he immediately burst out laughing. "So, it’s Group Leader Du gracing us with your presence! This old bull has been remiss in my welcome."
As he spoke, the Bull Demon King made a show of cupping his fists in greeting, but he remained standing beside Tu Xiao’an’s genuine leather sofa, not moving an inch. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
’This is a human Martial Cultivator,’ Tu Xiao’an thought, ’and an incredibly strong one. He has an imposing aura without even trying. Just standing there, he seems to blend in perfectly, with the spatial ripples swirling around him as if to cause a stir.’
’A human Rank Three Creature!’
Tu Xiao’an was certain, and his eyes lit up.
ROAR...
A powerful, tiger-like roar shot toward the sky. Golden Pupils suddenly appeared in front of the aloof man, its fur standing on end, ready to attack at any moment.
"A Super Level Creature?"
Seeing the majestic cat before him, the aloof man was taken aback, his expression changing slightly.
He looked up and also saw a stunningly beautiful Peacock sizing him up with its jewel-like eyes.
"Huh..."
’Another Super Level Creature?’
"Hey, kitty, don’t be so tense," the Bull Demon King quickly explained. "This is a friend of mine, not an enemy. Relax, relax!"
Apparently, the Bull Demon King’s words meant nothing to Golden Pupils. It remained completely unmoved, its Yin Yang Eyes glinting with a vicious light as it stared deadly at the newcomer. If the man dared take a single step inside, it would attack immediately.
An ordinary person would have been scared weak in the knees by Golden Pupils’ imposing aura, but Du Tianyi’s expression was calm. In fact, a flicker of greed appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Bull Demon King and said, "Haha... Bull Demon King, quite the collection you have here. Since when did you start keeping two Super Level Creatures at home?"
The muscles on the Bull Demon King’s fleshy face twitched. He neither confirmed nor denied it—mainly because he didn’t dare take the credit.
With Tu Xiao’an present, he didn’t dare put on airs.
Du Tianyi saw that the Bull Demon King’s expression was a little off. Only then did he notice that the Bull Demon King was standing beside a young man.
The young man was lounging lazily on the sofa in the posture of a master, while the Bull Demon King, in contrast, seemed more like his servant.
His eyes narrowed slightly. ’Who is this person, that he can make even the Bull Demon King stand willingly at his side? What an impressive display of status.’
"Who’s this guy? So impolite," Tu Xiao’an said lightly.
The Bull Demon King leaned over and whispered, "Master, that’s Group Leader Du Tianyi from the Demon Management Bureau. This old bull... has some business dealings with him."
’Business dealings?’
Tu Xiao’an smirked coldly at his words. The Bull Demon King was a real estate mogul, but his business methods were far from legitimate, often involving robbery and murder. The reason he was so successful was that he had someone inside the Demon Management Bureau.
And now it seemed that person was none other than this dignified-looking Rank Three Creature right in front of him.
’Humans and Demons, wallowing in the same filth.’
’He’s no good, either.’
He was just like a corrupt official. The Demon Management Bureau was supposed to arrest the Demon Fiends who committed crimes within the City and give the common people a just and peaceful society.
But this Group Leader was something else, consorting with a Rank Three Demon Spirit. Judging by the way he just dropped in from the sky, he’d clearly done it many times before.
"Hmph..." Tu Xiao’an kicked the Bull Demon King. "Go stand on the side."
He had no love for the people from the Demon Management Bureau. The leader of Group Two, Leng Shuang, had tried to use him, and now she was in his stomach.
"Master, in front of company, please give this old bull a little face. How am I supposed to keep up appearances otherwise?" the Bull Demon King whispered weakly.
His expression and demeanor were just like a boyfriend begging his girlfriend to let him save a little face in front of their friends.
"And this friend is...?" Du Tianyi asked, greatly surprised. The young man had just kicked the Bull Demon King, who hadn’t shown the slightest temper in response. This was truly shocking.
Who was the Bull Demon King? A veteran Rank Three Demon Spirit, immensely powerful, with an explosive temper like a Demon Lord of Mayhem. Even he, Du Tianyi, had to treat the demon carefully and mind his boundaries, never daring to go too far.
This young man had such an impressive bearing and status that for a moment, Du Tianyi couldn’t tell if he was a human or a Demon in its Transformation.
The young man’s aura was completely restrained, not leaking out in the slightest.
If he was a Demon who had undergone Transformation, then for the Bull Demon King to treat him with such deference, he must be at the Demon King Level.
At this thought, Du Tianyi suddenly sucked in a sharp breath of cold air, a bad premonition washing over him.
