Chapter 106: Chapter 16: I am Boar Zhu Ganglie
Translator: 549690339
“Tianmu Mountain? Oh dear, I can’t go there.”
Upon hearing this, the Wild Boar King bemoaned his misfortune, clearly having suffered a lot previously and now being afraid.
“To die, to die! Those ruthless guys will probably catch me and make me into a roast pig if they see me!”
Demons had grievances with each other, and it was quite common for them to kill and eat one another.
The Wild Boar King had a look of fear on his face and seemed unwilling to show the way no matter how much he was persuaded.
Seeing his reaction, Zhao Huai spoke calmly, revealing the sword at his waist and lightly grasping the handle.
A flash of white light appeared in an instant.
Drawing the sword and returning it to the scabbard created a beautifully smooth movement, quite pleasing to the eye.
Crack!
In just a few seconds, a nine-meter long deep indentation appeared on the wall, the terrifying power of sword qi causing the surrounding pig demons to shrink back in fear.
The Wild Boar King swallowed hard, his heart pounding as he gazed at the fearsome sword marks on the wall.
If the person before him wanted to, he could probably kill all of them with a single sword stroke.
“Go, you might die. Don’t go, and you die now.” Zhao Huai said after sheathing his sword.
There was no room for bargaining; he had to prioritize his own goals.
If he could not resolve this demon catastrophe, heaven knows what the consequences would be.
“I was wrong…l was wrong!”
He had escaped from Tianmu Mountain with great difficulty, showing just how much he cherished his life. Without Zhao Huai, he would never have returned to Tianmu Mountain.
Seeing the other’s fear, Zhao Huai frowned and said, “With me here, you won’t die so easily. Besides, you’re just showing the way and scouting the situation. It’s not like you have to capture Tianmu Mountain.”
The Wild Boar King forced a bitter smile, “I can rest assured with your presence, but among those spiders’ minions, there are many little demons that recognize me. It would be hard to avoid suspicion when they see an additional transformed demon here.”
After hearing this, Zhao Huai felt it was not a big issue, as he had already thought of a strategy to deal with this.
“Just say I’m a distant relative of yours and that I came to join their group.
You’re just showing the way.”
The Wild Boar King considered Zhao Huai’s words and had no choice but to agree, then gave strict orders to the pig demons behind him.
“You all stay put in the cave. I’m going out with the great one for a few days and will be back quickly! While I’m gone, don’t cause any trouble, and if you come across any lost travelers, make sure to throw them out.”
“Understood, Your Highness!”
After giving his instructions, the Wild Boar King turned to Zhao Huai with a flattering smile, “So, great one, when do we set out?”
“Now. ”
Tianmu Mountain was still quite a distance away from Jinzhou.
It took Zhao Huai and several pig demons quite some time to find it.
Before even stepping into the Tianmu Mountain Region, faint sounds of drumming and gong-beating could be heard from within the mountain.
“These are the small demons from Blackwind Cave patrolling the mountain as lookouts, ” the Wild Boar King explained.
“If you’re so afraid of me and act so suspiciously, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave this mountain,” said Zhao Huai calmly, looking at the Wild Boar King who was keeping his distance.
“Understood, understood.” The Wild Boar King gave an awkward smile and immediately moved closer.
Zhao Huai empathized with his situation.
The general perception among the human race was that demons were to be avoided, feared, and attacked on sight.
The fur, bones, and demonic cores of many demons could be refined into useful magical weapons, and some sects would even hunt down entire dens without a second thought. If they didn’t see any, they’d be just fine, but once sighted, they would be killed without hesitation.
This led many lesser demons to harbor a deep fear of cultivators.
However, humans were not without their own fears of demons. Powerful demons could threaten entire cities or regions, just like the demons laying siege to the city they currently faced, affecting a vast area.
However, Zhao Huai felt no sympathy for them.
Humans and demons were inherently distinct, and he was merely using them for his own purposes this time. Whether they lived or died afterward would be at his discretion.
“I don’t even know if I can get out alive.”
Just before the Wild Boar King entered Tianmu Mountain, he murmured to himself.
In his view, this journey was undoubtedly perilous.
But in Zhao Huai’s eyes, things were different.
For the results of his divination with copper coins had finally changed.
Just watch how fortune favors you. Your guidance is “Luck.”]
This meant that he was on the right track, and he must find out the demon’s purpose to resolve the crisis.
As they walked, he couldn’t help but ask, “How many followers do those Spider Demons and Bat Demons have?”After some thought, the Wild Boar King recalled and answered, “There are quite a few of them, probably the largest force gathered from the surrounding thousand miles. I’m sure there are more than a hundred, mostly comprised of little demons.”
“Senior, is there a problem?”
Wild Boar King thought Zhao Huai was afraid and asked about the number of people.
However, Zhao Huai shook his head and explained:
“I’m thinking if we kill the so-called Demon King and eliminate their influence, maybe the Blackwind Cave can disband and Tianmu Mountain could be peaceful.”
This sentence immediately left the Wild Boar King silent.
What the hell!
This is the Demon King, after all!
Killing him just like that?
That’s savage!
In reality, Zhao Huai’s thoughts were not so simple. Although he might not be a match for the Core Formation Demon King yet, his sect certainly had no problem with it.
He planned to secretly deal with the Demon King. Since he had already infiltrated the demons, it would be unsatisfying not to trick them.
“Boom boom!”
The sound of gongs came from the road ahead from time to time.
Zhao Huai used his Demon-Viewing Eye to look past, and seven slender black lines were drawn.
It turned out that several little demons were lined up in a row, walking on the mountain road, seemingly patrolling.
Ever since entering Tianmu Mountain, Zhao Huai had seen a large amount of black smoke lingering all around, especially in the depths of Tianmu Mountain. There was a deep demonic qi, very hidden, hiding away. However, it still couldn’t escape Zhao Huai’s perception.
“Hey! Isn’t this Pig Laojiu?”
A sarcastic voice came from the patrol team.
“You dare to come back?!”
The little demon who opened his mouth was actually a pig demon too, but it was a rare breed – a red-haired pig with a long scar above its eyes.
He stared deeply at the Wild Boar King with a cold smile on his face.
The Wild Boar King’s momentum weakened, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “I came to join the king; what do you want?”
It seemed the two had a conflict.
“Who’s the one who wanted to leave before but now wants to rejoin? Too late now!” The red-haired pig demon was the captain of the patrol team, and he called the other little demons to take action.
At this moment, Zhao Huai’s body stood in front of the Wild Boar King, blocking the road.
“Who are you?”
The red-haired pig demon saw Zhao Huai, sniffed with his pig’s nose, and confirmed that he was a demon without a doubt, but he looked unfamiliar and had never seen him before.
“This is my distant cousin who came to join the king with me.”
The Wild Boar King’s acting was auite good. introducing Zhao Huai with an
arrogant expression on his face.
“Cousin?”
The red-haired pig demon looked suspicious. He had known Pig Laojiu for so long but had never heard of him having a cousin.
“How come I’ve never heard of him?”
“Of course you haven’t. My cousin is from the north, and he’s quite capable. His name is…”
When it came to the name, the Wild Boar King hesitated and was troubled.
He seemed not to know the expert’s name yet.
At this moment, Zhao Huai raised his head, stood tall and proudly said:
“I am Boar Zhu Ganglie.”
“There’s famine in the north, and there are few people there. If we stay there, we’ll starve to death, so we came here to join the king.”
His tall stature of over 1.8 meters stood out among the partially-formed bird demons, toad monsters, and deer demons, making him a standout.
Except for a ferocious pig head with black bristles, his limbs were entirely human -shaped, and his aura was extraordinary, making him look intimidating.
In front of these little demons, Zhao Huai’s appearance was awe-inspiring.
The higher the degree of transformation, the stronger the strength.
This meant that Zhu Ganglie was genuinely skilled.
Moreover, he came from the north, where many sects were said to occupy, and the human imperial capital was also in the north. There was little room for demons to survive; it was not easy for those who lived.
In other words, those from the north were fierce demons.
For a moment, everyone present looked at Zhao Huai with a deep sense of fear in their eyes.
