【In the midst of a mountain range.】
【A four-eared demon monkey sat cross-legged atop a mountain peak, eyes closed, resting.】
【This demon was none other than Xiang Hanye.】
【After a long while, he slightly opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and looked toward Feng Zhenxin approaching from afar.】
【You summoned me to this place. I hope you have good news for me.】
【Feng Zhenxin’s expression was calm as he said, “Two things. First, the Blue Sea Tide Summoning Technique is still with you, right? After so much time, you should have mostly comprehended it.”】
【“Why not give it to me? Tomorrow we’ll go to the Conscience Workshop. I’ll refund you nine hundred seventy thousand demon stones.”】
【“The second thing is, I have news of Ye Yu’s whereabouts.”】
【At this, Feng Zhenxin deliberately paused and quietly looked at Xiang Hanye.】
【The latter, being sharp-minded, immediately guessed this old fox’s intention.】
【Without hesitation, he took the Blue Sea Tide Summoning Technique out from his storage ring and threw it over.】
【“Keep the demon stones refund. As long as you tell me where that monkey demon is, I will still remember the favor and promise to help you with one thing.”】
【Feng Zhenxin said nothing, holding the Blue Sea Tide Summoning Technique in his hands to examine it carefully. After confirming it was indeed the original item auctioned from the Conscience Workshop,】
【he then turned and knelt on one knee, holding the cultivation manual with both hands.】
【“Master, confirmed to be the genuine original without a doubt.”】
【Suddenly, Ye Yu’s figure appeared, collecting the Blue Sea Tide Summoning Technique.】
【He then looked at Xiang Hanye across from him and softly said, “I heard you were looking for me?”】
【This sudden change caused Xiang Hanye to frown slightly.】
【If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed such a scene was real.】
【How could the dignified Conscience Workshop’s master bow humbly to Ye Yu, this monkey demon?】
【There was simply no reason for this.】
【If that were the case, then why did Feng Zhenxin originally put out a bounty of three hundred demon stones to hunt him down?】
【Xiang Hanye’s heart was filled with doubt.】
【But this question did not trouble Xiang Hanye too much.】
【After all, his greatest dream recently had been to find Ye Yu.】
【And now, that dream had come true.】
【Xiang Hanye looked at the white-haired monkey demon in front of him, revealing a ferocious smile.】
【“Although I don’t know exactly what kind of relationship you two have,”】
【“it doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is, you’ve already refined the ancient great demon’s essence blood, haven’t you?”】
【Ye Yu said calmly, “So what if I have?”】
【Xiang Hanye suddenly took a step forward, his voice deep and firm: “If so, then obediently let me swallow you. That power rightfully belongs to me!”】
【Hearing this,】
【Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.】
【This guy must be crazy, thinking of swallowing him whole to gain power.】
【Indeed, such a cultivation method existed in the demon world.】
【But because it was too bloody and cruel, it was publicly rejected by most demons.】
【However, there were quite a few demons who secretly practiced this path.】
【Unexpectedly, today he met one of them — truly disgusting.】
【In an instant, the originally clear sky darkened with storm clouds pressing down.】
【It was like a scene from the apocalypse.】
【At the same time, the demon power around Xiang Hanye continuously surged, finally stabilizing at the late stage of the Golden Demon Realm.】
【With a slight lift of his hand, a surging sea wave mysteriously appeared amid the mountain range.】
【With unstoppable momentum, it rushed toward Ye Yu.】
【Feng Zhenxin suddenly stood up, intending to block in front of Ye Yu.】
【But was pushed aside by Ye Yu directly.】
【“Ran into such a reckless fellow.”】
【Ye Yu had no intention to let him live, and took this opportunity to test the power of that cultivation manual!】
【Xiang Hanye transformed into his true ape form and stepped on the waves, as his hand seals changed continuously.】
【At the forefront of the raging giant waves, several water dragon illusions appeared, roaring fiercely.】
【The moment they covered Ye Yu,】
【a golden light suddenly appeared.】
【The next second, the giant waves were completely shattered, replaced by a towering white-haired giant ape, barefoot stamping down, crushing the mountain peak beneath him flat.】
【“Heavenly Demon World-Ending Art!”】
【A peerless technique said to rival heaven and earth in height.】
【At the moment it was truly unleashed,】
【Ye Yu genuinely felt the extraordinary power of this technique.】
【A true ten-thousand-zhang manifestation, possessing unparalleled strength.】
【From this moment on, breaking through all techniques was no longer empty words.】
【Ye Yu howled toward the sky.】
【The roaring sound waves caused the entire heaven and earth to tremble violently.】
【Xiang Hanye’s face turned extremely ugly. Seeing the terrifying figure in front of him, he felt for the first time a sense of insignificance and powerlessness.】
【On alert, he instinctively wanted to flee the place for now.】
【However, before he could start moving,】
【Ye Yu directly grasped him tightly in the palm of his hand.】
【Holding him right in front of himself.】
【Xiang Hanye struggled desperately to break free, but no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.】
【Just as he prepared to summon a magic tool for one last attempt,】
【a blood mist suddenly appeared in the world.】
【This long right-handed Xiang Hanye was thus annihilated.】
【Ye Yu did not like the method of devouring others to grow stronger.】
【Of course, exceptions exist — if it’s roast suckling pig, Ye Yu wouldn’t mind taking a bite.】
【After killing Xiang Hanye, Ye Yu’s body size returned to normal.】
【He slightly clenched his fist; that feeling of power just now was truly «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» memorable.】
【Ye Yu approached Feng Zhenxin, wiped his hands on the robe he wore, and softly instructed: “Master Yang Xiao of the Red Dawn Sheep, find a way to deal with him quickly. I don’t like being hunted with a bounty.”】
【“Oh, and don’t forget the matter of searching for cultivation manuals.”】
【Feng Zhenxin slightly bowed his head: “Please rest assured, Master, I will handle both matters perfectly for you.”】
【Ye Yu nodded with satisfaction.】
【Indeed, the Divine Control Heart Technique was truly a good thing.】
【After giving all instructions, Ye Yu did not linger any longer but headed straight east.】
【Previously, Luo Ning had already informed Ye Yu via communication stone of the Ye family members’ relocation site.】
【Including herself, she would be there guarding.】
【It was time to fulfill his promise and hand over the Blue Sea Tide Summoning Technique to her.】
【No matter what, this demon king of Yingning Mountain was quite admirable.】
【Without her, perhaps Master Yang Xiao and Feng Zhenxin would have used Ye Chuang and others as leverage to force Ye Yu to show himself.】
【This also counted as removing a hidden threat for Ye Yu.】
【But it really was strange — after all, a former demon king, how could she be a stutterer?】
【Did something go wrong during her transformation?】
【Also, why was she so obsessed with the Blue Sea Tide Summoning Technique, a water-element technique only water demons could practice?】
【It was only a peak Earth-rank technique; there was no reason to be so obsessed, right?】
【Actually, Ye Yu’s thought was mistaken.】
【He was simply a well-fed man who did not know the hunger of the starving.】
【The Earth-rank peak demon immortal techniques were already the stuff all demons longed for but could not obtain.】
【Some demon lords at Demon Lord Realm might not even have such powerful techniques.】
【As for Heaven-rank demon immortal techniques, that was purely a matter of fate.】
【What is destined will come, what is not destined, no use forcing.】
