Chapter 1636: The Arrogant Red Demon
Although the Red Demon had already been famous back in the days of the former Demon Emperor, a long time had passed since then. His current position wasnât particularly high. Of course, the little loli was much the same; no one had even seen her before.
Kui Lin was different. He was the current emperor of the demon race.
His words were clearly far weightier than the girl or the old manâs.
Everyone in the secret room really did sit cross-legged on the ground. It was true that theyâd been in here for quite some time, yet they hadnât found any means of opening the hidden door.
Ye Zichenâs epiphany was exactly what the little loli had just proposed.
He nodded at his friends and the griend emperors. Then, their entire group sat on the floor.
In an instant, the entire room was terrifyingly silent.
Only when they sat down did they realize that the floor was cool, and moreover, that it carried a special effect that helped them focus.
âDidnât the boss say that we shouldnât show ourselves lightly?â The stalwart man transmitted to the girl.
âThen, what youâre saying is, we should have just gone on waiting?â The girl was sitting sweetly on the ground, but the words she transmitted didnât match her appearance. âYou took on the form of an overdeveloped musclehead, but I guess that really does suit your personality, huh? Youâre simple-minded as heck! Think about it! How much time do we have left? If we relied on these morons to figure out how to get inside on their own, the era might be destroyed by the time they managed it.â
âAlright, alright, that makes sense.â The man didnât argue with her.
âBut it seems that bearer of the emperor star noticed too.â The girl glanced furtively at Ye Zichen. âIt seems heâs not stupid. We might be able to relax a little if we work with him.â
Drip. DripâŠ.
Once the room was completely silent, those present could clearly hear the sound of dripping water, just as they had back in the corridor.
Earlier, Ye Zichen had actually searched for the waterâs source back in the corridor, yet he couldnât for the life of him figure out where the dripping came from. This secret room was the same, but this time, he was keenly awareâŠ
The drips were actually used to keep track of time.
It seemed that Ye Zichen and the loli were right; silence was the only path into the inner palace.
âHow long do we have to sit here?â The Great Sage had always been restless and impatient. Back when he sought scriptures, he had a hard time holding still and chanting sutras even when Tathagata himself stood before him.
Not even an hour had passed, but he was already struggling to keep still. He twisted about in agitation.
âYou settle down and behave yourself,â transmitted Pu Jingwan. âUnless you want to experience everyone else present attacking you on all sides, that is. If so, stand up and do as you please.â
There were at least forty people in this room, and all of them were at least imperial-level experts.
The Great Sage was known as the Victorious Fighting Buddha, and he loved a good fight, but he wasnât brainless. He was no match for so many top experts.
Since he couldnât outfight them, he could only endure. However, if things really went on like this, he really would collapse.
Ye Zichen, meanwhile, contained his energy and immersed himself in meditation. He was now completely focused inward. The floor of this hidden room was really divine; a clear current flowed through the floor and into his limbs and skeleton.
The clean current combed through his unstable divine power, leaving it perfectly in order.
âYouâŠ..â
A low murmur suddenly broke the silence. This didnât just interrupt Ye Zichenâs deep meditation; everyoneâs eyes popped open.
âWho spoke just now?â Quite a few people were visibly infuriated. Entering such deep meditation was rare. Furthermore, after sensing the benefits meditating here brought them, they treasured this opportunity even more than typical deep meditation.
Besides, it hadnât been easy to maintain their silence all this time. Yet now, someone had gone and ruined it.
In an instant, divine power surged throughout the room. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with undisguised fury.
Ye Zichen frowned lightly too. Just now, heâd been fully immersed; it was truly a rare chance. Less than an hour had passed, but he could clearly sense that his power had been combined through, that some excess nonsense had been trimmed from his grand dao, making his comprehension more refined and exquisite.
If heâd had another hour, he might have made comprehensive progress towards his mastery over the entire Grand Dao of the Five Elements.
âWhat a commotion.â
As the crowd roared, that same low murmur reverberated through their ears once more. This time, those present realized that the voice didnât originate from anyone in the room.
âMight you be Senior God Emperor?â Kui Lin had sharp eyes, so he cupped his fist in greeting.
âA demon?â The low voice suddenly stopped, but its emotions were indiscernible.
Demon Emperor Kui Lin froze. This was indeed the Transcendent Mausoleum, but the man buried here was the emperor of the god race. It seemed his relationship with demons wasnât as harmonious as Kui Lin had imagined.
The mausoleum itself might accept all races, but that didnât necessarily hold true for the god emperor.
âSenior!â
âYouâre a fragment of the God Emperorâs soul, arenât you?â Just as Kui Lin seemed visibly troubled, Red Demon, yet another demon, strode forth unexpectedly. Furthermore, his words werenât particularly respectful. âIf youâre his soul fragment, then youâre this mausoleumâs guide. Weâve been waiting here for far too long, and we donât have time to waste. How about you hurry up and open the hidden door to the palace interior? If we get our good fortune quickly, weâll leave and stop disturbing your tranquility.â
When the others present heard Red Demonâs words, they were stunned despite themselves. He really was one of the six most crazed, proud demons of his era.
When the others encountered a fragment of the former emperorâs soul, they didnât go so far as to kneel, but they at least greeted him modestly. Kui Lin was a living example of this. Yet Red Demon gave the soul fragment no face at all, and his words were rather unbefitting of a guest.
âWhat dense murderous energy.â That low murmur rang out once more. âYouâre a demon too, and youâve killed quite a few people.â
âThat I have. Furthermore, most of the blood on my hands is human,â said Red Demon, his gaze utterly arrogant.
âI rather dislike your tone.â
âSo what if you dislike it? Iâm already inside the mausoleum. What, are you going to âcleanseâ me? Besides, this mausoleum wasnât yours to begin with, itâs just that the Four Great Auxiliary Stars selfishly chose to bury you here. What, you donât really think yourself this placeâs master, do you?â Red Demonâs words were just as barbed as before.
âJeezz, that old manâs intense.â Yang Jianâs eyes practically popped out of his head. Who would dare even imagine someone talking to the former God Emperor like that!
Even if it was just a remnant of his soul!
Just as the group was worried Red Demon would provoke the soul fragmentâs fury, the voice chuckled. âYour murderous aura is too dense. This isnât good for you either. But given how frantic you seem, you must have your convictions. Might you explain?â
âI want to obtain good fortune, then avenge the former Demon Emperor!â The Red Demon completely disregarded the others present and said this aloud without hesitation.
When he brought up the former Demon Emperor, Kui Linâs expression froze.
Other demons didnât know the former Demon Emperorâs situation, but heâŠ
He was well ware!
The moment the Red Demon said that, Kui Lin knew what he had to do.
He couldnât leave Red Demon alive!
