Capítulo 1859: Chapter 1858: The Four Demon Make Their Entrance

Xu Zimei said nothing and directly headed into the treasure vault.

The doors to the vault opened, revealing a brilliant display of radiant colors, with the treasures inside glowing marvelously.

“If you want to leave, then go on your own.”

“Without you, how could I possibly leave this Imperial Palace?” Gang Yan replied helplessly, looking distressed.

In the end, he could only follow Xu Zimei into the vault.

The vault was vast, with no end in sight at a single glance.

As soon as they entered, it was as if they were a drop of water in the ocean.

The vault was towering like a mountain, with its top and ends invisible to the eye.

The array of items was dazzling, making one unable to take it all in.

Initially, Gang Yan felt a bit resentful.

But once inside the vault, he was utterly amazed.

It was as if he were Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, seeing things he’s never come across.

By rights, as a young prodigy of the Gangmeng Clan, Gang Yan should have some knowledge.

Unfortunately, the Hundred Clans have suffered too much in these years with the human race dominating all alone. This led to a lack of experience except among the very top ranks.

“Wow, this is the Cloud Steel Emperor’s Blade, a true Treasure Blade.

It is said to be wielded by a strong figure of our Gangmeng Tribe in the past.

It was refined using the corpses of the Gangmeng Clan in a great war with the human race; hence it became ferocious.”

“And this here, the Starry Iron, Sun Mysterious Stone, these are all body cultivation treasures from our Gangmeng Clan legends.”

“It’s shocking to see so many of them here.”

“So this is the vault of Great Qin!”

“Take whatever you like,” Xu Zimei said indifferently.

Even though the treasures here were numerous, none caught his eye.

There were probably few items on the Divine Continent that Xu Zimei would find impressive.

Actually, when the world began, the Divine Continent nurtured some powerful Heaven-Splitting Earth-Dividing weapons.

But these newborn weapons could be considered powerful for the Divine Continent. If brought to the Nine Domains, it might be a different story.

So Xu Zimei did not move, allowing the weapons to continue nurturing on the Divine Continent.

“Really?” Gang Yan asked eagerly.

“It’s not like they belong to me, take as much as you like,” Xu Zimei shrugged.

“Hehe, then I won’t be polite,” Gang Yan chuckled.

“Truth is, I’ve never seen so many treasures in my life.”

He opened his storage ring and began to collect wildly.

It seemed the abundance of treasures made one forget their situation entirely.

“Boom boom, boom boom.”

Soon, loud noises could be heard outside.

The sounds were like an army’s marching footsteps, neat and uniform, very impactful.

It was as if they were stepping on one’s heart, causing it to stop momentarily.

“They’re… here,” Gang Yan looked at Xu Zimei.

“Is it King Qin?” Xu Zimei murmured.

“Probably not, the experts in the Imperial Palace are high-ranking. With King Qin’s status, under normal circumstances, why would he make a move?” Gang Yan shook his head and said.

Generally, the higher one’s position, the less they personally get involved.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t match their status.

Outside the vault, the army’s footsteps had come to a halt.

Outside, a loud and clear shout could be heard.

“Thief, come out and accept death. Today, we the Four Demons of Great Qin shall face you.”

The voice was very old.

But Gang Yan’s expression changed dramatically.

“Four Demons, and someone dares to call themselves demons in front of me,” Xu Zimei sneered.

“How reckless!”

“Quick, think of something, why did these four old things come out?” Gang Yan hurriedly said.

“Why, are these people very famous?” Xu Zimei asked.

“No way, you’re human and haven’t heard of the Four Demons’ name.”

“You’ve got to be kidding if you’re so scared,”

Gang Yan obviously didn’t believe it but explained anyway.

“A long time ago, within our Hundred Clans, there was a powerful race, the Taoist Clan.

This Taoist Clan was said to be born of the universe, although few in number, every clansman was very powerful.

They were born with self-awareness, and their strength grew frighteningly.

If not for their poor reproduction ability, the Taoist Clan would likely have been the leading clan of the Hundred Clans.”

“Back when the human race was at its peak, they waged war against the Hundred Clans.

The Taoist Clan was the first to refuse subjugation.

King Qin dispatched the Four Demons to lead the army, and the Heavenly Court dispatched four generals to ultimately annihilate the Taoist Clan.

It’s said that now in the Divine Land, there’s no more Taoist Clan.”

Xu Zimei frowned slightly; he was well aware of the major developments on the Divine Continent.

But he didn’t pay much attention to minor details.

Because most of his efforts were focused on the Nine Domains.

Originally, the rise of the human race worried him somewhat.

Although he wasn’t specifically against the human race, one dominating family was not good.

This increasingly made him lean toward a tripartite balance.

What is a tripartite balance?

A three-legged stand is stable.

……

“Let’s go, and see this so-called Four Demons,” Xu Zimei chuckled.

The Four Demons and their army didn’t enter the vault immediately, perhaps fearing that a fight within might damage the treasures inside.

Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, Gang Yan shrinked his neck in fear.

“How about you go out, and I stay inside to grab more stuff?”

“Who am I supposed to perform for if you don’t come out?” Xu Zimei countered.

Without an audience, it wouldn’t be entertaining.

He brought Gang Yan to the Imperial Palace so as to make the latter wholeheartedly convinced, to better facilitate his plan.

“I’m not going,” Gang Yan was still scared, not daring to face the Four Demons.

But Xu Zimei didn’t give him a chance to refute.

He directly grabbed his clothes and dragged him out of the vault before tossing him aside.

Outside the vault, they were already surrounded by a densely packed army.

This was the Imperial Palace’s guard. Although not individually as strong as the Golden Lion Legion,

their numbers were great, and if they used a battle formation, they would also be elite in the highest class.

As for in front of the army, there stood four elders each with different demeanor.

The elder on the left wore a black robe, his eyes were red like blood, with two front teeth resembling vampire fangs.

The second elder exuded abundant Immortal Qi, which carried a certain demonic air, his eyes languidly watching Xu Zimei, and he held a lute in his hand.

The third elder seemed more sinister, having the head of a rat, with small black eyes incessantly turning, making a “hiss hiss hiss” sound from his mouth.

And the fourth elder had hair that was very long, so long that it nearly enveloped his entire head.

Only a black aura accompanied by a putrid stench emanated from him.

This is what’s known as the Four Demons.

The first demon Jiang Kui, the second demon Immortal Rokia, the third demon Rat Plague, and the fourth demon Chang Xiang.

“Are these even humans,” Xu Zimei muttered to himself.

He sensed human energy from these four, but it didn’t quite seem like it.

“It’s said that they were originally human, but later their genes distorted, their cultivation technique went wrong, and they became like this,” Gang Yan stammered from the side.

Looking at the Four Demons, he was obviously terrified out of his wits.

Continuously backing away, he dared not approach the four individuals.
