The Emperor Reigns Them All-Chapter 516 - The Time for the Taoist soldiers to Descend to the Human World
Chapter 516 The Time for the Taoist soldiers to Descend to the Human World
“Crack!”
The Macaque King swore that he had never thought that kind of sound would be so unpleasant!
Li Ye threw away the broken Magic Treasure. He shook his head and had a blank look on his face. “Is this really a high-ranking Magic Treasure? I feel like I am cutting through a piece of ordinary iron.”
Although the Luke Sword was just at the middle stage of the high-ranking Magic Treasure, it was not far from the high stage. When Li Ye fought the demon python of Panfeng City, the Luke Sword cut off the Magic Treasure at the same stage, indicating that although the Luke Sword was just at the middle stage of the high-ranking Magic Treasure, it already had the power of the high stage.
When the Macaque King heard the two words “ordinary iron”, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
A high-ranking Magic Treasure at the middle stage was destroyed just like that! Usually, this was enough for him to recruit an independent cultivator in the Great Completion of the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm to work for him…
“Damned monkey, I am not done with you!” The Macaque King cursed the eighteen generations of the Monkey King in his heart. He felt very resentful. He firmly believed that the Monkey King gave Li Ye the sword and that it was at least at the high stage of the high-ranking Magic Treasure!
“Damn it!”
“That damned monkey is always doing stupid things!”
Then the Macaque King realized that it was useless to curse the eighteen generations of the Monkey King because he came from the stone and had no ancestors… Not even a generation!
The Macaque King’s mood instantly turned terrible.
At this moment, Li Ye coughed twice and said to him, “Macaque King, I am going to cut the third one.”
“Stop!” the Macaque King decisively said. “Does he really think that the high-ranking Magic Treasures are like ordinary iron, so he has no qualms about destroying them?” He gnashed his teeth and swore in his heart that if he met that damned monkey the next time, he would definitely fight him for three hundred rounds.
The Macaque King rolled up his sleeve and retrieved the remaining eight Magic Treasures. Then he took a deep breath and waved his hand toward the cave.
Soon, another ten sets of Magic Treasures glowing with a variety of colors, flew out of the cave.
The Macaque King’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared fiercely at Li Ye. “These are all high-ranking Magic Treasures at the high stage! All of them! I will give all of them to you! Take them!”
He was not the Monkey King, who was so lucky that he could get the Sea-stabilizing Magic Cudgel, which was a pre-natural Magic Treasure, from the Dragon Palace in East Sea. What he used were the nonpareil processed Magic Treasures and the high-ranking Magic Treasures at the high stage. Each of them carried great weight and could attract the independent cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm to obey his orders!
So now, the Macaque King’s heart ached as if it was bleeding!
What he said appeared ferocious on the surface, but he felt weak within for fear that Li Ye would make more trouble and cut off his Magic Treasures with his sword again.
“What if… What if the Magic Treasure in his hand is the nonpareil Magic Treasure?”
“It is possible! It is enough for the damned monkey to use one pre-natural Magic Treasure, so he can give a nonpareil Magic Treasure to Li Ye to rile those who are in the territory of the demon clan!”
“That damned monkey is always a troublemaker. He will definitely do such a thing! ”
Li Ye did not let the Macaque King down. He smiled and rolled up his sleeves and took the ten high-ranking Magic Treasures at the high stage. He formally thanked the Macaque King with cupped hands. “Thank you so much for your generosity. I believe that after your generosity in giving the Magic Treasures today, the cultivators will definitely work together to wipe out the fierce beasts if the beast tide breaks out in the demon clan again!”
He did not know what the Macaque King was thinking, but he knew that the Luke Sword was absolutely not able to cut off a high-ranking Magic Treasure at the high grade. Moreover, with these ten Magic Treasures, the Luke Sword could be upgraded to the high grade of the high-ranking Magic Treasure, and there was still a surplus, so he was satisfied.
He could not ask the Macaque King to take out the nonpareil Magic Treasure.
If so, the Macaque King would really go crazy.
Seeing Li Ye showing off his guile after receiving the Magic Treasure, the Macaque King snorted and then left, giving a flick of his sleeves. “Monkey Three, hold a banquet to entertain Prince An. I am going back to cultivate in seclusion. Do not disturb me if there is nothing else!”
He did not want to look at Li Ye again for fear that he would not be able to restrain himself and hit Li Ye so hard that he would turn into dust. “This guy is really shameless. No wonder the damned monkey asked him to come. He is as bad as the monkey!”
Out of sight, out of mind. The Macaque King decided not to appear in front of Li Ye before he found a way to deal with Li Ye.
The Macaque King hated Li Ye intensely now, but he hated the Monkey King even more. He had a great deal of difficulty in restraining himself not to go at once to fight the damned monkey.
Of course, the Macaque King did not intend to suffer the loss like this. He had to get back the ten high-ranking Magic Treasures at the high stage.
Seeing the Macaque King leaving, Li Ye secretly laughed and held back the words on his lips. Originally, he wanted to continue to aggravate the Macaque King by asking him if he had forgotten to give the Magic Treasures to the demons, after giving him the Magic Treasures. All of them contributed a lot to wipe out the beast tide.
In the end, he did not say that because he noticed that the Macaque King was so angry that he could not bear any further stimulation.
“There will be ample time. There will be ample time…” Li Ye comforted himself in this way. He would stay on Macaque Mountain for a while. He was not restricted by the Macaque King now. He had many opportunities to carry out his plan of blackmailing the Macaque King’s Magic Treasures and cultivators.
Flood Dragon Demon King told him that he and Roc Demon King were secretly looking after him, so Li Ye was not afraid that the Macaque King would attack him.
“Prince An.” A fat demon monkey came to Li Ye and make an obeisance with cupped hands. “We have prepared a place for you and all the cultivators to rest. Please follow me. The banquet is arranged for this evening. Please wait for a moment, Prince An.”
Li Ye glanced at the demon monkey. Most monkeys were thin, but there were still some fat ones. Li Ye had never seen a monkey that was fatter than Wei Xiaozhuang. The demon monkey’s body was like a ball and he looked like a tumbler.
The demon monkey had a round body, but he was also worldly. His words were very refined and his smile was very sincere and cordial.
The Macaque King called him Monkey Three. Since he could get this name, it meant that he was not just worldly. Even if Monkey One was not the Macaque King, he must be the first general under the Macaque King’s command. Then obviously, Monkey Three was among the top five in rank on the entire Macaque Mountain.
Li Ye followed Monkey Three as they left the palace with the demons. After circling around the mountainside, they came to a valley.
The terrain was flat and open and many caves were built on the mountains on both sides. There were many houses in the valley and many servants were shuttling back and forth. The trays in their hands contained all kinds of fruits and some game they had just killed.
Li Ye had to admit that Monkey Three’s arrangements were very thoughtful.
The cultivators were quartered at the campsite. The cultivators at the Qi-refining Stage were placed in the houses. Only the Great Cultivators were qualified to live in the dense caves built on both sides of the mountains.
Li Ye’s cave was very spacious and everything was available.
The most outstanding feature was the lotus pond in the middle. Wisps of hot steam drifted out of the white water and some scantily dressed and beautiful female demons were playing in it. They had different shapes and temperaments, each of whom was attractive in her own way. Some were charming and mature. Some were young and beautiful. What was more disturbing was that some of them even looked like little girls.
When they saw Li Ye coming in, they swam to the edge of the pond. They leaned over the pond and smiled at Li Ye. The bold ones even reached out their hands and seductively invited Li Ye to take a bath with them.
“Send them away.” Li Ye quickly ordered Monkey Three, who was bent over and following him. Duchess was next to him. It was not suitable for her to see that.
Monkey Three was decisive. He did not try to persuade Li Ye or explain. After he waved his hand at the female demons, they came out of the lotus pond, laughed and left the cave.
The high platform in the innermost of the cave was the place for cultivation. It was arranged with an effective Spirit-gathering Formation, which could speed up the cultivation, but it was of no use for Li Ye.
On the whole, Li Ye was satisfied with the cave. Anyway, it was just a temporary place to stay.
After accompanying Li Ye to visit his cave, Duchess left with Monkey Three to her own cave. The two of them were not married yet, so it was not appropriate for them to live in one cave. Li Ye had to respect her.
After settling down, Li Ye took out the ten Magic Treasures “given” by the Macaque King and let the Dragon Qi transform the Luke Sword. The Dragon Qi happily swam out of the Ocean of Qi and dived among the Magic Treasures.
It was very picky about food. It despised the low-ranking Magic Treasures and it would spit out some dregs after absorbing their essence. But when it encountered the high-ranking Magic Treasures, it looked like a child who saw candied haws.
With only three Magic Treasures, the Dragon Qi successfully upgraded the Luke Sword to the high stage of the high-ranking Magic Treasure.
Li Ye was generous. He let the Dragon Qi absorb the remaining seven Magic Treasures in one breath. Like a drunkard, the Luke Sword trembled in Li Ye’s hand for a while and then flew around the cave.
After absorbing the seven high-ranking Magic Treasures at the high stage, the Luke Sword was only one step away from the nonpareil Magic Treasure.
Li Ye felt a little disappointed because he thought that the Luke Sword could be upgraded to the nonpareil Magic Treasure. However, the nonpareil Magic Treasure was the peak of the processed Magic Treasure, so if it was that easy to reach, it would be worthless.
Li Ye would still pursue the nonpareil Magic Treasures. After looking at the fierce beasts’ bodies in the storage bags, he felt that he should pass this glorious and arduous task to the demons on Macaque Mountain. Li Ye came up with a plan at the thought of the evening banquet.
There was still some time before the banquet. Li Ye put away his Luke Sword and began to sit in meditation, feeling the realm of his cultivation.
Because the Dragon Qi could enter the Immortal Area after the advancement, Li Ye could gather the Luck much faster than before. Especially, the Luck of the ordinary people in Hedong quickly converged toward him like a flood these days.
He did not know what measures Li Zhen had taken in Hedong so that the ordinary people would be loyal to him in such a short time. It was a far change from the ordinary people’s indifference when Li Ye first suppressed Pinglu, which turned into loyalty.
Now Li Ye had reached the middle stage of the Ground Immortal Realm and was not far from the later stage.
Li Ye estimated that he might reach the later stage of the Ground Immortal Realm when he left Macaque Mountain. As the improvement of his realm sped up quickly, Li Ye even anticipated that he would be promoted to the Sky Immortal Realm after he left the territory of the demon clan. That would be great.
Even though Li Ye was now in the territory of the demon clan, he did not stop thinking about the affairs of the human world.
He focused on Zhu Wen, who was supported by the Immortal Court. He knew that with the Taoist soldiers’ help, Zhu Wen had conquered the vassal states of the Central Plains, one after another. Maybe when he returned, the entire Central Plains would belong to Zhu Wen.
But Li Ye was not worried about this. No matter how fast Zhu Wen developed, it would be a question of war then. Li Ye was concerned about how to win the war.
Now that only the first group of Taoist soldiers descended to the human world, the thousands of cultivators of the demon clan in Pinglu were enough to resist them. Zhu Wen would not attack Pinglu in such a short time. But what if the second group of Taoist soldiers from the Immortal Court descended to the human world? At that time, the Taoist soldiers would have an overwhelming advantage over the demons in Pinglu and Zhu Wen could start a war again at any time.
Li Ye walked in to the territory of the demon clan. Although he said that he was not in a hurry, he did not waste any time. He had to let the cultivators of the demon clan go out before the second group of Taoist soldiers from the Immortal Court descended to the human world.
Now the question was when they would descend to the human world.
