Chapter 309: Emerald Castle



The old immortal and others were shocked and thought that the Emerald Demon King had made a comeback so soon. Wan Chaochun was overjoyed. If Li Xiu was not dead yet and the Emerald Demon King pushed the door open again, there might be a chance to rescue Li Xiu.

Everyone immediately gathered light energy, ready to fight once again, but they had all been severely overdrawn just now, and except for Wan Chaochun, they were basically running out of energy, and the light energy they could burst out was very limited.

Seeing a crack in the door and just when he was about to fight back, he saw something fly out from the crack, and then the door slammed shut again.

The eyesight of Lao Bushi and others was so sharp that they were stunned when they saw clearly the thing flying out of the door. The means of attack that they had prepared were now useless.

Wan Chaochun reached out and caught the thing that flew out of the door, held it in his arms, and stared at it with a strange expression.

The thing that flew out from the door was actually a swaddled human baby.

"What's going on?" Several people were dumbfounded. How come the person who came out was not the Emerald Demon King or Li Xiu, but a baby like this.

"Could it be that Li Xiu entrusted his son to others before his death and tried his best to send him out?" said the immortal old man.

"Old General Manager, you really dare to think so. Not to mention that General Manager Li may not have a baby, even if he really has a baby, he can't take the baby to fight the Emerald Demon King. I think this baby should be General Manager Li himself." Sun Wuxi said.

"Li Xiu himself? Can he regain his youth?" The old immortal thought that Sun Wuxi's words were too far-fetched.

"I've read in a book about the Demon Country that the Demon Country has an ability called the Heavenly Demon Disintegration and Rebirth Technique. When encountering an opponent that they cannot defeat, they will disintegrate and self-destruct to severely injure the opponent, and then they themselves can be reincarnated and reborn. Maybe Chief Li will use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration and Rebirth Technique, explode his own body to severely injure the Emerald Demon King, and then be reincarnated and reborn." Sun Wuxi said.

“Can you tell me something reliable? The Heavenly Demon Disintegration and Rebirth Method was actually created based on the demon spirit’s reincarnation method, but the demon people don’t have the ability to reproduce themselves, so the Heavenly Demon Disintegration and Rebirth Method actually just retains a trace of the residual soul, which needs to find a suitable new body to have a chance to be reborn. Even if this baby is really Li Xiu’s reincarnation, do you think he can push open the Emerald Door by himself?” The immortal old man pouted.

"Then tell me, where did this baby come from? Who else could he be if not Li Xiu?" Sun Wuxi said, spreading his hands.

This stumped everyone, as no one could understand how a human baby could come out of the Emerald Gate.

"I think there is a high probability that this baby is General Li. Look at his eyes and eyebrows, he looks so much like General Li." Sun Wuxi firmly believed in his guess.

"Stop talking nonsense. Can't you see this is a baby girl?" Han Minghui said speechlessly.

"Baby girl!" Sun Wuxi and others then realized that this was not a boy at all, and there was no penis.

"Could it be that the demon's disintegration and rebirth technique can also change gender?" Sun Wuxi rubbed his chin and pondered.

Han Minghui was too lazy to pay attention to him. She looked at the Emerald Gate and said, "No matter what, let's seal the Emerald Gate first to prevent the Emerald Demon King from rushing out again."

Wan Chaochun immediately stopped them and said, "You have sealed the door. How is my fourth brother going to get out? This door cannot be sealed."

"We witnessed the sacrifice of General Li with our own eyes. It is impossible for him to still be alive under such circumstances," said Han Minghui.

"Did you see him die with your own eyes?" Wan Chaochun asked back.

"That's not the case..." said the immortal old man.

"Since he hasn't died, there is still hope. This door cannot be closed." Wan Chaochun said firmly.

"If we don't seal it, what if the door is opened again?" Han Minghui frowned.

"I'll watch over her." Wan Chaochun said as he glanced at the baby girl in his arms.

"In that case, let's not seal the door yet." The old immortal said, "The Emerald Demon King must have suffered heavy losses when attacking the Emerald King. He will not be able to make a comeback in a short time."

Seeing that Wan Chaochun was so persistent, everyone knew that if they wanted to seal the door, they would have to fight with Wan Chaochun first, otherwise the door would definitely not be closed. They looked at each other and no one said anything, which was regarded as their tacit agreement not to seal the door.

"You old immortal, please tell Old Eight to come over for me." When the old immortal was dragging his injured body and was about to go back to recuperate, he was stopped by Wan Chaochun.

"Got it. I'll ask someone to invite Mr. Eight over." The old man waved his hand and staggered out of the Emerald Gate.

Wan Chaochun was guarding outside the Jade Gate. He took a closer look at the baby girl in his arms and found that it was just as Sun Wuxi said. The baby girl looked a bit like Li Xiu in her features.

"Could it really be my fourth brother? But even if the Heavenly Demon Disintegrates and Reborn Technique is used, it won't allow him to reincarnate as a baby girl, right?" Wan Chaochun thought to himself.

This baby girl is very well-behaved. Since she was born, she has been sleeping with her eyes closed. She is biting her thumb with her little mouth, looking very cute.

When Wan Chaochun was looking at the baby girl, Mr. Ba came running over in a hurry.

"Sister, that old man sent someone to say that something happened to our fourth brother, but that person didn't explain clearly. What exactly happened?" The Eighth Master came over and said.

"If I knew what happened, why would I ask you to come here? Please calculate whether it is a blessing or a curse for Fourth Brother now." Wan Chaochun glared at Eighth Master and said.

"If you want me to calculate, you have to make things clear first, right?" Mr. Ba said with a wry smile.

Wan Chaochun told him what he knew. After listening to him, Master Ba also had a strange look on his face. He looked at the baby girl in Wan Chaochun's arms, pondered for a long time and said, "Sister, write a word and I will test it."

"Just use the word 'Ying' for baby girl." Wan Chaochun said as he looked at the baby girl in his arms.

"The word 'ying' has two shells on top and a girl on the bottom. Judging from the literal meaning, this word is not very auspicious." Master Ba squatted on the ground, drew the word 'ying' on the ground with his fingers, and muttered to himself.

"Why is it unlucky? Isn't this word good? Two "貝"s mean a pair of treasures, right? One of them will definitely survive." Wan Chaochun said.

"Big sister, that's not how you interpret the word." Master Ba pointed at the word "ying" on the ground and said helplessly, "This word "bei" can indeed be understood as treasure, because in ancient times, shells were used as currency, that is, money, so it's not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure."

"Since what I said is not wrong, why do you say this is unlucky?" Wan Chaochun frowned.

"As the saying goes, things are valuable because they are rare. If there is only one shell, it is a treasure. But now there is one more shell. It can no longer be considered a treasure, but only money. If you use a lot of money to exchange for a woman, isn't that like asking for your life?" Mr. Ba sighed.

Wan Chaochun wanted to say something, but the Eighth Master didn't wait for her to open her mouth and continued, "Although this word is unlucky, it is not completely hopeless. The word 'ying' originally refers to an ornament similar to a necklace on a woman's neck. The two shells on the neck indicate that the life and death of the fourth brother is closely related to this baby girl. As long as the baby girl is safe, the fourth brother will be able to escape danger."

"Oh." Wan Chaochun stared at the baby girl in his arms and said, "According to what you said, this baby girl and my fourth brother are one and the same. So do you think there is a possibility that this baby girl is my fourth brother?"

"This... shouldn't be possible... let me take a look at the fortune..." Mr. Ba didn't know why Wan Chaochun had such an idea. Even if Li Xiu could regain his youth, it was impossible for him to change his sex.

Mr. Ba took out a book from his arms, flipped through it for a while and said, "Got it. This is the fifth lot predicted by Zhuge Liang. It's a bad lot."

"A bad lottery?" Wan Chaochun frowned.

"Don't worry. A bad fortune is not necessarily bad, and a very good fortune is not necessarily good. It depends on the time and the person. Let's take a look at the fortune first." The Eighth Master read: "Spring thunder roars, summer wind blows, the sleeping dragon rises, the fierce tiger is startled, the wind and clouds gather, and the people are saved."

"Why?" Wan Chaochun asked.

"According to the fortune stick, this is a fortune stick full of hope and external help, which indicates that what you asked has an unusual meaning. Spring thunder and summer wind symbolize the Zhen Gua and Xun Gua in the Eight Diagrams respectively. Zhen corresponds to the east, the season is spring, and it belongs to wood among the five elements. Zhen is also the symbol of the god of thunder. The only god in the east is the Azure Dragon. This sleeping dragon has finally woken up, full of energy and vitality, which frightened the king of beasts, the tiger, so that it had to put away its tiger power and flee in disgrace. This roadblock created resistance and obstacles intentionally or unintentionally, but was ultimately no match for the combined attack of the god of wind and the god of thunder." said Mr. Ba.

"What you mean is that fourth brother is the sleeping dragon, and there will be an obstacle preventing him from returning safely, right?" Wan Chaochun asked the Eighth Master.

"That's roughly what I mean." Mr. Ba nodded.

"Who is the obstacle? Figure it out for me, and I'll kill him." A murderous look flashed in Wan Chaochun's eyes.

"That's not necessary. Anyone who wants to achieve great things must go through hardships. Things that are too easy to get can also be easily lost. More hardships may not be a bad thing. They will also be beneficial to Fourth Brother in the future. It is better not to go against fate." The Eighth Master advised.

"That's fine, as long as Fourth Brother can return safely." Wan Chaochun stared at Eighth Master coldly and said, "If your prediction is inaccurate and Fourth Brother doesn't come back, I will peel off your skin."

"Ahem, this fortune-telling thing is all about fate. I'm also following what the hexagrams say. No one can guarantee it's accurate." Mr. Ba said in a depressed tone.

"If it's not accurate, then you can blame yourself for not having learned your skills well enough. You shouldn't come out to tell people's fortunes." Wan Chaochun said coldly.

Mr. Ba was even more depressed, thinking: "Isn't this what you insisted on me taking?"

Li Xiu was even more depressed than Mr. Ba. When the Jade Gate was suddenly closed, he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

He just wanted to take advantage of the Emerald Demon King being stuck in the middle of the trial gate to absorb some divine light so that he could be promoted to soul casting.

Who would have thought that before he could be promoted to the Soul Casting level, the door would be suddenly closed. Who could he turn to for justice?

The moment the Emerald Door closed and the Emerald Demon was pushed back into the door, Li Xiu's Lightspeed 3 and Lightspeed Gun, along with his clothes, disappeared.

Li Xiu, with only a white tights left on his body, stood alone above the Emerald Demon King's head. Looking at the Emerald Demon King staring at him with his wheel-like eyes, he felt a little embarrassed.

He was halfway through his promotion, but with the disappearance of Lightspeed Three and the Lightspeed Gun, he was stuck in a limbo.

He wanted to advance to the level of soul forging, but he did not have enough light energy. However, the light energy in his body exceeded the limit that the light base could withstand, and it made his body feel extremely uncomfortable.

What's even more depressing is that the Emerald Demon King under him couldn't rush out, and would definitely take his anger out on him as the one who got taken advantage of.

As Li Xiu expected, divine light burst out from the Emerald Demon King's body, and his palms were like two green suns, probably trying to beat him to death.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, the Emerald Demon King's palms did not slap Li Xiu, but slapped the closed Emerald Gate.

With such a powerful slap, the already closed Emerald Door was forced open a little.

Li Xiu was overjoyed, thinking that the Emerald Demon King still wanted to rush out. As long as the Emerald Demon King pushed the door open again, he would have the chance to rush out.

The Emerald Demon King only managed to open the door a crack. He pressed the double doors with both hands and pushed them outwards desperately, but he could not push the door open any further.

Opening the door is too energy-consuming. The Emerald Demon King had already consumed a large amount of light energy when he pushed the door for the first time, and now he has no spare energy to push the door open.

Seeing this, Li Xiu jumped up without hesitation and rushed towards the gap in the door that was pushed open by the Emerald Demon King. The gap was wide enough for him to squeeze through.

Almost at the same time when Li Xiu rushed towards the crack in the door, the Emerald Demon King opened his mouth and sprayed out a beam of light, which also flew towards the crack in the door.

The light flew much faster than Li Xiu. It passed under Li Xiu's body and went through the crack in the door.

At the moment when the ball of light intersected, Li Xiu saw that the person wrapped in the green light was actually a baby. The baby opened his eyes and looked at him. Li Xiu even saw the baby sucking his thumb and kicking his legs with joy.

After the baby passed through the crack in the door, Li Xiu also rushed forward desperately. When he was about to reach the crack in the door, the Emerald Demon King had already loosened his hands, and the door slammed shut immediately. The speed was so fast that people could not react at all. Li Xiu failed to rush out by a hair's breadth and hit the door directly. He saw stars and his nose bled. His whole body was stuck to the door, and then his body slid down the door. His nosebleed left two long bloody marks on the door.

Li Xiu fell to the ground and quickly stood up with the help of the door, covering his nose with one hand. The sour feeling made him cry.

After feeling a little better, Li Xiu looked up and turned around, only to see the Emerald Demon King standing not far away, staring at him.

And behind the Emerald Demon King, the endless Emerald Warriors were all staring at him.

Li Xiu twisted his neck mechanically and found that there were Emerald Warriors everywhere in all directions, probably hundreds of thousands of them, with all kinds of bright lights shining like a sea of ​​stars. He really had no way to go up to the sky or down to the earth.

"What evil did I do in my previous life to deserve such punishment from God?" Li Xiu felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't possibly defeat so many demons, not to mention the presence of the god-level Emerald Demon King.

When the god-level Emerald Demon King rushed to the door just now, most of his strength was used to push the door, and he was restricted by the rules of the Trial Gate, so he was able to gain a little advantage.

Now he is standing here just fine, and Li Xiu has lost his magic armor, so it will be difficult for him to survive.

Li Xiu quietly took out the immortal chopsticks and held them in his hand. At this point, he could only fight for his life and hope that God would give him a way to survive.

The Emerald Demon King and the emerald warriors as numerous as the sea of ​​stars all stared at Li Xiu fiercely, with demonic light rising from their bodies. Especially the Emerald Demon King, the emerald divine light on his body was almost condensed into substance. Looking at its appearance, it seemed that it wished to eat Li Xiu's flesh and blood alive.

"The Immortality Chopsticks...please give me some reaction..." Li Xiu held the Immortality Chopsticks, but the Immortality Chopsticks did not react at all, as if they were a dead object.

Li Xiu was very suspicious that maybe Changsheng Baokuai was afraid of death and didn't dare to react at all.

It looks majestic when it kills Li Changyin, a fake god, but in fact, he is just a fake god after all. The Emerald Demon King it is facing now is a real god, and may not be an ordinary god.

Add to that hundreds of thousands of Jade Warriors, if it were Li Xiu, he would also want to play dead.

"Forget it, it's better to rely on myself than on others." Li Xiu's eyes gradually glowed white, and he was ready to use the ghost to cover his eyes and fight to the death. He would live as long as he could.

"Roar!" The Emerald Demon King roared towards the sky, and hundreds of thousands of Emerald Warriors shouted along with him. The sound was so loud that Li Xiu felt like an ant that could be drowned by the tide at any time.

Just as the Emerald Demon King and the tide of Emerald Warriors were about to rush over, a light voice was suddenly heard coming from a distance.

"Xiao Cui, bring him here." The voice was not loud, and even sounded a little weak.

However, the shouts of hundreds of thousands of demons could not drown out the soft and weak voice, and it was still clearly audible to Li Xiu's ears.

Li Xiu heard a voice that sounded like a woman's, and when the evil spirits heard that voice, they all became quiet.

"Xiao Cui...are you talking about this guy?" Li Xiu looked at the giant Emerald Demon King and had no way of connecting it with the name Xiao Cui.

"Roar!" The Emerald Demon King let out a strange roar at Li Xiu, then reached out and slowly grabbed Li Xiu's body.

Many thoughts flashed through Li Xiu's mind like lightning, but in the end he did not move and allowed the Emerald Demon King to catch him in his hand.

As expected, the Emerald Demon King did not take any ruthless action. He just grabbed Li Xiu and turned away.

Hundreds of thousands of jade warriors made way for a path, and Li Xiu vaguely saw what seemed to be an ancient jade castle at the end.

The Emerald Demon King grabbed Li Xiu and walked towards him, covering nearly a hundred meters in one step. Soon they arrived in front of the ancient castle.

The Emerald Castle seemed to be carved out of a giant piece of jade. It should have been a very spectacular sight, but in front of the Emerald Demon King, the castle looked like a toy made of building blocks.

Li Xiu saw that the tallest building of the castle was a tower-like place. On the balcony of the tower, stood a beautiful woman in a green dress. She turned out to be a human woman.

The Emerald Demon King reached out and put Li Xiu into the Emerald Castle. As soon as he loosened his hand, Li Xiu fell in front of the tower.

"Xiao Cui, you should go and have a rest first." The beautiful woman on the balcony of the tower looked at the Emerald Demon King and said with a smile.

The Emerald Demon King actually made a whimpering sound like a kitten or puppy, then turned around and left the Emerald Castle obediently.
