Chapter 403: The Mysterious Disappearance of the Golden State Demon King
Next to a small town on the edge of the North.
In a yard on the edge of the town, smoke was still coming out of the chimney and a fire was burning under the stove, emitting steam.
A woman in the kitchen called out to the outside, "Master, call your daughter to come over for dinner."
"Okay." The old man agreed and walked towards a room in the yard, shouting, "Girl, it's time to eat."
But no one agreed.
When I opened the door, I saw that the room was empty and there was no one in sight.
"Ah?" the old man screamed.
How could this person disappear without a trace? "Don't make trouble with Dad..." When he looked carefully, he saw a golden ingot on the dressing table in the room.
It feels heavy in my hand, and it is clearly real gold!
"this……"
The old man was shocked. "What on earth is going on?"
…
A gust of black wind swept across the mountains and stopped in a dilapidated cave not far away.
The delicate girl opened her eyes and saw a middle-aged woman covered in black feathers and with a strong body. There was a strange light on her face. She was carrying her in one hand and walking into the cave.
As he walked deeper into the cave, with the help of a faint light, he could see four girls who were also controlled inside. Their age and body shape were similar to his.
"Great Immortal...Great Immortal, what are you doing?" The girl couldn't help but beg, "Please...please let me go."
This woman was naturally the Black Phoenix King from the Golden State. She turned a deaf ear to the girl's pleas for mercy, and threw the girl aside. She then plucked out a black feather and flew out.
There was a flash of light, and the black feather pierced the girl's body. She fainted all of a sudden and could not move at all.
The Black Phoenix King counted them and murmured, "Two have been caught here... It seems we have to move to another place."
It was quite risky for a demon to harm people in the Heluo Dynasty. As long as the matter was serious enough to attract the attention of Chaotianque, once it was investigated, something might happen.
Therefore, it is very cautious and always chooses some remote places in the countryside. After capturing people, it will leave enough money for them to live on for a lifetime, just to prevent the families of these girls from making it public.
Especially after the death of King Bifang, King Black Phoenix is now hesitant about causing trouble in Heluo.
But there is no other way. If I want to get more support from Utsunomiya, I can only try my best to complete the tasks they assign me.
That’s right, Utsunomiya’s order was to ask the Black Phoenix King to help them capture a certain number of human girls.
The Black Phoenix King was thinking that if he could just go to a few larger county towns, he could capture five more people. When he had ten people, he could go back to the Golden State to report. At that time, it would not be his business what happened to these girls.
Once I get enough support from Utsunomiya, I can ask them for help to kill that little Taoist priest and avenge my husband! Well, strictly speaking, my ex-husband.
After I get revenge for it, I can consider others. Although the Black Eagle King doesn't look very reliable, he can still be used.
At least it's an eagle, which is better than nothing.
As for what's in front of us...
The Black Phoenix King looked at the girls he had captured, without a trace of emotion in his heart.
Just a humble mortal.
If they hadn't been protected by those cultivators, they would have been eaten by blood long ago. Who would care about their lives? Thinking of this, the Black Phoenix King turned around and wanted to walk out of the cave.
But before he could take a step, he saw a red light coming towards him.
Um? ……
"Um?"
In the attic of Yaowang Town, King Xuan Diao was stunned in confusion after hearing what Li Chu said.
Then he asked, "Master Xiao Li, have you dealt with the Black Phoenix before?"
"No." Li Chu shook his head again.
"Then why are you..."
King Xuan Diao hesitated in his wording. If he said, "How dare you be so confident?", it might not be a good idea, but that was what he really thought.
It felt that even if Li Chu was a land immortal, it was not certain that he could kill the Black Phoenix King.
Li Chu seemed to understand what it meant and explained: "Because it is dead."
"Dead?" The Black Eagle King's eyes widened. "How did he die?"
This news was really sudden. After all, it was explaining to Li Chu how difficult it was to deal with just a second ago.
The moment he asked this question, King Xuan Diao looked at the flying sword behind Li Chu and suddenly thought of something terrible.
It pointed at Li Chu's sword, and then pointed out the window, "This, this, this...just now it...just went out...ah? No way?"
"That's right." Li Chu nodded and said, "As long as the range of the Xing Sui Fu is visible, my flying sword can reach it."
Upon hearing this, King Xuan Diao broke out in a cold sweat, almost soaking his back.
When Li Chu had them wear the talisman, he had said that if anything happened, he would be there at any time. Even if he couldn't get there physically, the sword could.
It turns out there is no special meaning, it is just the literal meaning?
While listening to the wind and chatting in the small building, I slayed the demon three thousand miles away and returned.
Is this something a human could do? Thinking of this, it quickly apologized in its heart. It should be...
Is this something a human can do? Is this sword-controlling technique that can cross a thousand miles in an instant really real? Thinking that his three brothers are under the surveillance of the Xing Sui Fu at all times... the fear in his heart almost froze.
Doesn't it mean that as long as Li Chu is unhappy, he can strike with a sword at any time and take the lives of these three little ones?
"So I said..." Li Chu emphasized again: "This talisman can protect you."
"Hehe." King Xuan Diao could only laugh awkwardly.
This protects...
It's really scary.
…
When the girls regained consciousness, they heard a gentle voice asking in their ears: "Are you okay?"
"Um?"
When I opened my eyes, I saw a handsome and perfect profile.
There was a flaming flying sword hanging in the cave, so the warm light illuminated the little Taoist's face.
At just one glance, the girls gasped and had an idea almost at the same time.
I must be dead.
This... is the paradise, right?
Unexpectedly, Li Chu stood up and continued: "I have killed the monster. You are all safe. Now I will take you home."
"Go home?" The girls were startled: "To whose home?"
"?"
Li Chu blinked and said, "Of course I will send you back to your homes."
These emotionless words pulled the girls out of their confusion and reminded them of what they had been through.
"Little Taoist priest..." someone exclaimed, "You actually killed that monster, you are so amazing!"
"Oh my god, the young Taoist priest saved our lives."
"If it weren't for you, what would I do..."
"I cannot repay you for saving my life, I am willing to repay you with my own body to repay you for your kindness!"
"Me too!"
"I……"
Seeing the rescued girls eager to give back, Li Chu insisted on carrying forward the fine traditions he had learned since childhood.
Do favors without expecting anything in return.
Do good things without leaving a name.
Thousands of words merged into one sentence, and he raised his hand and said firmly: "That's not necessary."
…
After sending the reluctant girls home, Li Chu flew back to Yaowang Town on his sword.
Changchun Sou was refining the elixir against the clock, Wang Longqi was waiting anxiously, and Lao Du was staring at him closely.
Rubbing hands together.
It was as if a swordsman who had not killed anyone for a long time was sharpening his sword.
There is actually a strange feeling of peace and tranquility.
I thought I could do nothing for a while, but the next day, the Black Eagle King came again.
There are dark circles under its eyes, and it seems to be very tired.
King Xuan Diao indeed did not sleep well.
Because whenever it closed its eyes, it dreamed of a flying sword with rainbow light flying towards it. Hundreds of miles behind the rainbow light, there was a very handsome face...
Whenever it thought of this, it would wake up trembling all over.
As a result, the next day, new news came.
The news of the Black Phoenix King's mysterious disappearance quickly spread to several nearby mountains. No clues were left, and no one knew where it had gone.
But Utsunomiya's mission seemed urgent, and they found a new demon king.
The ram king of Huangmen Mountain.
This Ram King is different from the Black Phoenix King. He is a senior demon in the Golden State. He has always made many friends and has many connections. I don't know what kind of favor Utsunomiya can give him to make him willing to help.
After receiving the news, King Xuan Diao went straight to Huangmen Mountain without any hesitation.
When he saw the ram king, he immediately showed an extremely enthusiastic smile, so enthusiastic that the ram king was a little scared, and felt that his gaze was like looking at a dead person...
"Brother Xuan Diao, what brings you here?" King Gongyang greeted him as usual.
"I just got a great treasure, and my eldest brother immediately told me to send a copy to Brother Gongyang." King Xuan Diao said with a smile.
"Oh?" The ram king welcomed it to sit down and asked, "The lion king is really thoughtful. What good treasure do you have?"
"Here." King Xuandiao took out the medicine bag and said mysteriously, "This is it."
King Gongyang took it, looked at it carefully, and put it on the table. "I don't understand these. What is the function of this thing? Why do you Sanwangling value it so much?"
"A few days ago, we captured two great doctors who can make medicine in our cave. They presented this treasure to us. Don't underestimate this medicine bag, as it may smell insignificant. Wearing it on your body has a very strong aphrodisiac effect on both humans and monsters!"
"Is there anything else?"
King Gongyang blinked, quite surprised.
But he immediately said, "I can't use this thing."
"Of course." The Black Eagle King nodded repeatedly, "How can a proper demon king use this thing?"
"Yeah, can a real demon king use this thing?" King Gongyang also said.
While saying this, it had already grasped the medicine bag tightly and put it into its sleeve.
"Hehe..." King Black Eagle glanced at its movements and smiled.
"I can't refuse the Lion King's enthusiasm." The Goat King waved his hand and said, "Of course I have to give you this face."
"Hahaha, of course." King Xuan Diao saw through it but did not say anything, and continued to agree.
Afterwards, King Gongyang warmly invited him to stay for a banquet.
It was a joyful occasion and both the guests and the hosts were happy.
After all, they had some friendship, so during the banquet King Xuan Diao tried to win over King Gong Yang.
"Brother Gongyang, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not..." it asked.
"You can say whatever you want." Gongyang Wang said.
"I heard that my brother has been getting close to Utsunomiya recently. As a younger brother, I am a little curious. Utsunomiya has a mysterious background and doesn't seem to be easy to get along with... Why is my brother getting entangled with them?"
When it asked this question, if the ram king's attitude was not so firm, it would try to persuade him to join the camp of the righteous Taoist Xiao Li and turn from darkness to light together.
Then the King Gongyang replied: "My dear brother, you don't know that Utsunomiya's origin is indeed mysterious, but the King Wanshi once saved my life. So, even if they ask me to die, I will go. What's more, it's just a small matter."
King Xuan Diao was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he sighed and said, "These little things are almost the same as asking you to die..."
"What did you say?" King Gongyang asked again.
"It's okay, brother. I'll toast you a glass." King Xuan Diao raised his glass high.
King Ram looked at its posture and thought it seemed a little strange?
Why does it always feel like I'm sending my own happiness away?
…
After having the last dinner with King Gongyang, King Xuandiao rushed all the way to Yaowang Town and reported the matter to Li Chu.
"Logically speaking, Utsunomiya's own power is definitely not weak. It would be better for them to do this kind of thing of capturing humans themselves. I don't know what kind of trouble they have encountered that they have to rely on outsiders..."
It expressed its doubts again.
"Indeed, there must be some unknown dilemma." Li Chu also felt that it made sense.
Among the three little ones, only the Black Eagle King has brains.
"But it's not a good idea to do this every time..." The Black Eagle King continued, "If you kill whoever they come to capture, they will notice it after a few times."
"But we can't just watch people get hurt." Li Chu said, "Since we can't find the real body of the Wanshi King, it won't hurt to kill a few more of these evil monsters. When they become aware of it, maybe that's when they'll show their true colors."
The indifferent tone, like slapping a mosquito, made King Xuan Diao tremble again, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "The three of us have always stood on the side of justice."
Li Chu nodded and praised him generously: "So far, you have performed well."
After hearing these words, King Xuan Diao breathed a sigh of relief.
I can sleep well tonight.
…
The next day, the ram king also "disappeared" as expected.
The entire world disappeared without leaving any trace.
This made some demons in the Golden State panic. The Black Phoenix King and the Ram King were not ordinary demons. No one cared if they died. These two were both famous demon kings! They disappeared without a sound for two consecutive days, which was really strange.
The rest of the demon kings in the Golden State began to panic.
After all, no one knows if they will be the next one.
Then, King Xuan Diao came to Yaowang Town again.
Li Chu looked at it and said, "You don't have to go back and forth like this all the time. Whenever a demon king helps Utsunomiya harm people, you can just find a way to hang the medicine bag on it. As long as it moves, I will kill it. It's tiring for you to go back and forth so frequently."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. This time... I have to come." King Xuan Diao said in a whisper.
"Oh?" Li Chu noticed that it looked strange, and asked, "Which demon king is it this time?"
The Black Eagle King stared at Li Chu's finger, as if he was afraid that it would stand up, and said cautiously: "This time Utsunomiya came to..."
"They are the Lion King and the Precious Elephant King of the Three Kings Ridge... and the Black Eagle King who always supports justice."
Listening here, Li Chu's fingers moved subconsciously. This small movement scared the Black Eagle King so much that he almost peed.
Then Li Chu felt something was wrong after listening to it.
"oh?"
