King of Creation

Chapter 1947: Chapter 1932: Alive or Dead, We Want to See

"Brother, be careful with this. This Demon Core is literally my lifeline! It would be a real tragedy if I died at your hands instead of the ancient monkey." Just after shutting up, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, Sunx Ba, started talking again.

"If you keep talking, I can’t promise anything!" Ye Zhen said.

This time, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, Sunx Ba, tightly shut his mouth.

In fact, Sunx Ba had every reason to be scared. Ye Zhen was tinkering with his Demon Core, which was no different from performing surgery on his vital organs.

Any mistake could be a lifetime issue.

Beside them, Hu Qingtong was also intently watching Ye Zhen. Although the injuries to the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba’s five internal organs and six hollow organs were severe, given Sunx Ba’s physical strength, it wasn’t too much of a problem.

The real challenge was the Dao Realm power entrenched in the Demon Core.

Up to now, the only healing methods Hu Qingtong could think of were two.

One, have the person who inflicted the harm reclaim the Dao Realm power from Sunx Ba’s body willingly, or two, forcefully dissolve this power with a stronger entity, although this method was extremely dangerous.

Besides that, Hu Qingtong couldn’t think of any other way.

Seeing Ye Zhen so confident now, Hu Qingtong was very curious about what Ye Zhen intended to do.

A burst of golden light suddenly emanated from Ye Zhen’s palm and probed into the body of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.

Hu Qingtong’s eyes flickered, for despite the golden light, she could not sense any Spiritual Power Wave.

In other words, the golden light in front of her was not Spiritual Power.

But then, what kind of power in this world could be beyond the realm of Spiritual Power?

Furthermore, what shocked Hu Qingtong even more was that the moment the golden light appeared, it gave her a spiritual shock.

The feeling was just like an ant gazing at a mountain.

The surprise in Hu Qingtong’s eyes deepened. At this point, despite her curiosity, she could only stand still and watch, not daring to disturb Ye Zhen.

Meanwhile, above a distant mountain hundreds of thousands of miles away, the phantasmal form of the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King, Gu Mann, stood in the air, his surroundings plagued with continuous thunder, wrapped in Thunder Light, appearing like a terrifying deity of war.

Even though it was just an avatar of the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King, its power was extraordinary.

Beside him were two Monkey Clan Great Saints who had hurried over to report to him.

"It’s been so many days, and there’s still no news? How many days has it been now? Do you all want me to present your heads and Primordial Spirits to the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor?"

Despite his human form, the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King, Gu Mann, had not shed his black fur. Whenever he spoke, the blackened face under the fur looked even darker.

"Uh..."

The Stone Monkey Saint, Shi Zhongba, who had only just recovered from his injuries, wore a cautious expression. A few days ago, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba had escaped from Shi Zhongba, also injuring him severely.

This not only embarrassed him but also earned him a stern reprimand from the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King. "Sire, it’s strange. That day I seriously injured him, and I left a trace of the Power of Dao Realm Laws I comprehended within him, clinging to his Demon Core.

As long as this power is there, I can sense his location.

But since that day, I’ve been unable to sense the power I left in him. This might mean..." The Stone Monkey Saint expressed his theory cautiously.

"Mean what?"

"It might mean that Sunx Ba is already dead, and only his death would make my power completely vanish."

"Fool! What if he hid in a space that exists as a separate realm?" the Wind-Fire Ancient Monkey King, Gu Mann, scolded. "Either way, find the person if alive, or the body if dead. If you can’t locate him, I’ll have to present your head to the Dragon Emperor to appease him."

"And what about the matter of why Sunx Ba wanted to steal the Dragon Saliva Peach?" the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King queried another Monkey Clan Great Saint, the Green-eyed Great Saint.

"Replying to Your Majesty, it’s still unclear for now, but in our investigations, we’ve discovered Sunx Ba has numerous acquaintances, but the ones he truly confided in and interacted with were those who came to the Taimeng Demon Realm with him years ago.

The others couldn’t really be called friends."

"Was there an outcome?"

"The intelligence we purchased at a high price indicated that among Sunx Ba’s peers, the whereabouts of the Tiger Clan’s Xuan Hu are unknown, supposedly imprisoned for a crime. The Pig Demon Zhu Hong, under a Great Saint of the Bear Emperor, left his residence before Sunx Ba got into trouble and disappeared ever since.

This Zhu Hong is highly likely to be Sunx Ba’s contact. The other person is a Fox Lady residing in Qingqiu, with no detailed information available." the Green-eyed Great Saint explained.

"Then what’s your plan for investigation?" Gu Mann questioned sharply.

"Replying to Your Majesty, besides casting a wide net, putting out a bounty on Sunx Ba, and informing Two-World City, we plan to use Xuan Hu and Hu Qingtong as breakthrough points to find Sunx Ba’s whereabouts.

Perhaps these two people know why Sunx Ba stole the Dragon Saliva Peach, or even know where Sunx Ba is!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Get going!"

The Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King Gu Mann’s furious shout sent the Stone Monkey Saint and the Green-eyed Great Saint scurrying away like they were fleeing in panic.

With a contemptuous snort, "What a bunch of useless fools!" the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King’s virtual image gradually dissipated from the world.

As the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King’s virtual image vanished, the flustered figures of the Stone Monkey Saint and the Green-eyed Great Saint halted slightly, with the Stone Monkey Saint wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.

"Qing Yan, where do we go now for our search?" the Stone Monkey Saint suddenly asked.

"With no clear leads, why not start with Hu Qingtong and Xuan Hu? In their vicinity, perhaps we can find some clues..."

"Wait!"

Suddenly, the Stone Monkey Saint closed his eyes, the aura of Primordial Spirit emerging, his Divine Sense quivering intensely.

The next moment, the Stone Monkey Saint’s eyes flew open, "I sensed it! I sensed it!"

"Sensed what?" the Green-eyed Great Saint hadn’t caught on yet.

"The Power of Laws I left in Sunx Ba—it’s reappeared!"

"Where?" The Green-eyed Great Saint, understanding now, was anxious.

"That direction!" The Stone Monkey Saint pointed to a direction.

"Let’s go!"

Saying this, the two of them sped toward the direction where the aura reappeared, but they had just flown for less than half a quarter-hour when the Stone Monkey Saint suddenly halted, his face turning exceedingly grim.

"What’s happened now?" The Green-eyed Great Saint was utterly puzzled.

"It vanished!"

"The aura that just appeared has vanished again!" The Stone Monkey Saint looked utterly dejected.

"Vanished again? How could this be?" The Green-eyed Great Saint frowned deeply.

"Could he be dead?" The Stone Monkey Saint looked worried.

"That bastard Sunx Ba isn’t that easy to kill. It disappeared once a few days ago, so it disappearing again isn’t surprising," said the Green-eyed Great Saint.

"Then what next?"

"Our lord said, find him alive or dead! Whether he lives or has died, if we continue searching in the direction from earlier, surely we’ll find some trace," the Green-eyed Great Saint replied.

"I hope that bastard Sunx Ba isn’t dead! Finding a corpse is harder than finding someone alive." With a wry smile, the Stone Monkey Saint once again flew alongside the Green-eyed Great Saint toward where the aura disappeared earlier.

And at this very instant, inside Hu Qingtong’s cabin, Ye Zhen’s palm suddenly left the back of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba. Retracting the golden light, he said, "Alright! It’s dissolved."

"That fast?" Hu Qingtong was astonished.

"Didn’t you say it was difficult? How could it be this fast, it seemed like it was just a moment," Zhu Hong was also surprised.

"Eh, it’s really gone? That thing entangled on my Demon Core is really gone!"

The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba was so overjoyed that he stood up abruptly, but as soon as he did, he started coughing violently again, blood and shattered bits of his internal organs pouring from his mouth, leaving Hu Qingtong and Zhu Hong horrified!
