Chapter 117 Mother!
The old ancestor was determined to die.
Emperor Jiang's words had a double meaning, how could Little Master Huang not understand what he meant?
He couldn't fall into Li Ya's hands, but he couldn't afford to offend the people from Dijiang either.
Both paths lead to certain death, I won't choose either!
Little Master Huang was about to escape on a cloud when he saw an opportunity, but the black-armored guards were not about to give him that chance.
Two black gold chains wrapped around his ankles, and with a strong pull, they dragged Little Yellow down from mid-air!
He replaced his halberd with a dagger and switched to close combat, dodging left and right.
He wasn't very skilled, his magic was mediocre, his best assets were his mouth and his status, so who would dare to mess with him normally?
Who would have thought that he would encounter these four reckless individuals today? One wanted to kill him, while the other three were simply watching the show.
Even Grandma Qian sat down.
She didn't understand what was going on, only that Duan Jiuyou and the others wouldn't hurt her. They even brought her a large rock, spread a handkerchief on it, and said, "Mother, please sit down and watch."
Duan Jiuyou got used to calling her that, as if she really was his mother.
Grandma Qian glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Little Huangye tried to bring Li Ya back to his senses.
"We are brothers born of the same mother. Even if we have no blood ties, we are still related by blood. Do you hate me that much?"
"certainly!"
Li Ya gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred for Huang Manman.
They're both children of the same mother, so why does Huang Manman receive more attention than him? Is it because he's immature? Because he cries?
His mother left Banshan City many times to visit him, and she would prepare gifts for him every year on his birthday. Even his father kept the title of the young master of Banshan for him.
He was born and raised under strict discipline, and was forced to accept that he had a dwarf brother. He didn't want to see him or be bothered by him when he didn't come back. But when he did come back, he was still as close to his father and mother as they were!
Block his way, get in his way!
On what grounds?!
"You're so old, yet you still act like a child! Climbing up and down to get your father and mother to carry you, have you no shame!"
Li Ya grew angrier the more he thought about it, and pointed at the slashed Little Huang, cursing loudly.
You're shameless!
Young Master Huang slid on the ground with his chains on. The black-armored guards did not kill him immediately, but instead slashed at him with their swords, seemingly intending to skin him alive.
Unable to escape, he could only seek help from the imperial court.
"Help me! I'll take you to that person!"
Emperor Jiang's smile deepened, but he did not make a move immediately.
He simply said, "No rush."
Twelve cuts already, twenty-two more are needed to pay off the previous whip marks. Even if he wants to save him, he has to pay off the previous debts first!
Little Huang felt like dying!
I thought to myself, of all people to mess with, I had to mess with him!
After thirty-four strikes, Li Ya made his move.
Its true form is a python, and when it spreads out its five claws, they become five sharp claws.
Di Jiang narrowed his eyes, watching Li Ya's five fingers pierce into Little Huang Ye's chest.
"Aren't you going to save me?!"
Little Huang was getting anxious.
Di Jiang looked at him with great interest.
"It needs to be one inch closer."
Just one inch closer, and it would be enough to heal the burns left on his abdomen.
Seeing that Little Master Huang was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, Duan Jiuyou nudged Di Jiang with his shoulder.
Di Jiang smiled, and in an instant, he scooped up Little Yellow Master with one hand and casually tossed him behind him, saving him from a fatal blow.
Li Ya's sharp claws collided with the blue light in Di Jiang's palm!
"The power to cleave the heavens!" Li Ya's expression changed drastically: "You are from the Di Jiang?!"
Within the Heavenly Realm, there may be people who do not recognize the true face of the Emperor's Territory, but there is absolutely no way they would not recognize the power to cleave the heavens.
Li Ya was shocked and confused: "Why did you save this bastard? Does he owe you money? How much? I'll pay it for him! Don't interfere in today's matter, let's pretend we never saw anything!"
Li Ya was quick-witted; he knew that he couldn't defeat Di Jiang with his own magic alone, especially since Di Jiang had other experts by his side.
Astutely assessing the situation, Young Master Huang, having just pledged allegiance to the Emperor's Frontier, immediately switched sides to Li Ya's.
He said, "I returned to Half-Mountain City to hide from them. You killed me simply because you were worried that I would take your crown prince position. Think about it carefully. The crown prince of the demon race can only be inherited by the demon race. With my body that is half god and half demon, even if I have the title of young master of the demon race, I am just a title without any real power. I am not qualified to inherit the throne of the demon race, so how could I be a threat to you?"
Young Master Huang's choice has never changed from the beginning. He is afraid that Li Ya will kill him, and even more afraid that he will fall into the hands of Di Jiang and Duan Jiuyou. He is busy clearing himself of any opportunity.
Young Master Huang said, "Take me with you, and I'll go back to Half-Mountain City with you. You have a high reputation in the city, and even if I have any wicked thoughts, you can control me immediately."
He then added, “Killing me is easy for you, but how will you explain it to Father and Mother? You originally planned for me to die with the Qian family at Yunshan Ridge, but the Qian family didn’t even leave the city! Many people in the palace know that I went to Yunshan Ridge, and there must be people who know that you mobilized the Black Armor Guards. Since you and I left the city one after the other, if I were captured by them, you would also be implicated!”
Let's rebuild Li Ya's confidence.
"The gods and demons have an alliance. You are the rightful young master of the demon race. Even if they can't defeat them, they would never dare to harm you. The gods are about to go to war and do not want to have a conflict with the demon race. If you weren't here today, they could have kidnapped me without anyone knowing. But since you are here, they have no choice but to take care of you. As long as you protect me, the two of us brothers can escape unscathed from their clutches!"
After saying that, he added, "If you save me today, I will definitely join the court officials in recommending you as the crown prince!"
Di Jiang knew Little Master Huang too well; when he saved him, he had already guessed that Little Master Huang would try to win over Li Ya.
Upon hearing this, Li Ya's expression indeed softened.
Emperor Jiang chuckled lightly, and calmly uttered a sentence.
"The crown prince of the demon race cannot indeed be a half-demon, half-god. But what if this person were to become a demon completely? The Yellow Dust Palace has a divine pill called the Demon-Slaying Powder, which can shatter the bones of a demigod and recast the demon body, turning a person into a demon completely. This medicine is extremely expensive, with only one pill produced every ten million years. The Pill-Forging God Lord's true form is a gold-devouring beast that feeds on gold daily. To obtain the divine pill, one must exchange it for a mountain of gold."
He asked Little Master Huang with a smile, "You said you went back to Half-Mountain City to seek refuge, but you're in such a hurry to exchange for gold coins. Ha, what are you going to do with so much gold?"
Duan Jiuyou chuckled to himself, thinking to himself, "Emperor Jiang is ruthless! His words hit the nail on the head, leaving the other side no chance to turn the tables."
Little Master Huang says he has no interest in the battle for the Demon King, but does he really take power so lightly?
He was ruthless and greedy, using half his life's wealth to obtain the Demon Elixir, all in order to gain a pure demon body and compete with Li Ya!
Li Ya's eyes narrowed and hardened!
He knew this old guy was no good! A murderous glint appeared in his eyes again.
"If that's the case, will you still protect him?"
He was already inclined to kill Huang Manman, and now that he heard that Huang Manman was exchanging gold for the Demon-Enhancing Pill, he felt even more that this person could not be allowed to live!
Di Jiang raised his hand and gestured "please go ahead".
“This man is always unreliable and as slippery as an eel. Even if we protect him, we might not get the truth out of him. Killing him would be a way for us to vent our anger, so why should we stop you?”
Without lingering any longer, he turned and left.
Bai Yanxing and Duan Jiuyou supported Madam Qian on either side, and walked away without looking back.
Little Master Huang didn't expect them to leave so decisively. The most crucial issue was that they had even successfully instigated Li Ya to kill him.
Do they really want him dead? Do they really not want that answer?
Li Ya unleashed his claws once more; once he decided to kill, he would strike immediately!
Little Huangye scrambled to avoid the attack, then grabbed Dijiang and hugged him tightly. This time, he adopted a posture of admitting his mistake, kowtowing, begging for mercy, and asking for his help.
Di Jiang's expression was mocking as he kicked Little Huang away.
He doesn't have that much time to waste on him!
This time, Master Huang was truly panicked and anxiously exclaimed, "That person is extremely difficult to deal with. Only I know his weakness. If I don't speak up, I'm afraid I'll invite disaster. He will definitely kill me to silence me!"
Di Jiang stopped in his tracks, blocking the aggressive Li Ya.
So who is he? Where is he now?
Young Master Huang hesitated and refused to speak. Di Jiang wanted to leave, but Li Ya attacked again. Young Master Huang was in a dilemma. Choosing Li Ya meant death, but choosing Di Jiang would be even worse!
Just as they were struggling with this dilemma, they suddenly saw a dark cloud rushing in from afar. This cloud was majestic and powerful, like a black wind sweeping in.
Little Huang's expression relaxed, and he almost jumped for joy, shouting, "Mother!!"
The Cloud Demon Queen landed lightly, forcefully pushed aside her youngest son Li Ya, then raised her arm high, made a huge bow-drawing motion, and delivered a resounding slap to her eldest son Huang Manman!
She slapped Little Huang Ye with tremendous force, as if he weren't her biological son.
Little Huang was sent flying several meters by her slap, spitting out a few bloody white teeth.
It's difficult for him to grow teeth, and it's very difficult for him to grow up. His growth rate is extremely slow. How could his mother bear to beat him like that?!
Then she unleashed her next deadly move, feigning to draw the Weeping Moon Blade, intending to take Huang Manman's life!
