292: Chapter 291: Going Alone to the Meeting 292: Chapter 291: Going Alone to the Meeting “What Eastern Emperor,” he snorted, “nothing more than a mere jumping clown.” Though the Purple Dragon King’s wounds had not yet healed, whenever Ye Xuan was mentioned, his face showed nothing but disdain. He said, “This so-called Eastern Emperor, whose real name is Ye Xuan, has only reached the Taiyi Realm. Despite bearing the emperor’s title, he lacks the emperor’s power. For someone like him to dare come to Huaguo Mountain is simply seeking death.” “Heh heh.” The Heavenly Peng King let out a cold laugh and said, “It seems the Heavenly Court has no one capable left. Once I slay this Daoist Ye Xuan, I’ll return to drink and celebrate with my brothers.” As the Heavenly Peng King spoke, he strode confidently toward the entrance of the Shuilian Cave. With his mid-stage Luotian Mystic Immortal cultivation, he naturally didn’t take Ye Xuan seriously and was ready to kill him on the spot. “Second brother, come back.” Before the Heavenly Peng King could leave the Shuilian Cave, Bai Hong suddenly raised his voice, causing the Heavenly Peng King to halt in his steps. He turned his head to look at Bai Hong with a puzzled expression, “Big brother, you...” At that moment! Bai Hong rose from his seat on the meditation cushion, his expression solemn and austere. He said, “Although Ye Xuan is of Taiyi cultivation, he was able to fight Yang Jian to a standstill. His combat power is certainly not as simple as you imagine.” “Big brother, there’s no need to worry. I have already inquired clearly. Ye Xuan merely achieved his victory through a sneak attack on Yang Jian, causing him great loss. If we talk about true cultivation, he is not a match for me at all,” the Heavenly Peng King said with utter certainty. “Foolishness!” Bai Hong furrowed his brow, his words carrying a rebuke, “I have exchanged blows with that Yang Jian. He is calm and wise, and his divine communication technique surpasses mine. Moreover, he is just one step away from reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal level. No matter what means Ye Xuan used to shatter Yang Jian’s body, it is clear he is not to be underestimated.” “I will go myself to meet this Eastern Emperor.” Bai Hong walked decisively toward the entrance of the Shuilian Cave, causing the complexions of the other Demon Kings to change subtly. They had not expected their big brother to take this Daoist Ye Xuan so seriously, even preparing to act personally. Huaguo Mountain, with its seventy-two caves, each ruled by a Demon King, spans tens of millions of miles. On this day, the Heavenly Demon Banner fluttered in the Heavenly Vault, and countless Demon Soldiers filled the mountain, their endless demonic qi rippling through Heaven and Earth, presenting a terrifying sight at a glance. Led by Bai Hong, the various Demon Kings stood by his side. As they walked out of Shuilian Cave, they saw tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers standing firmly above Huaguo Mountain, with the leading figure in a green Emperor’s Robe—it was none other than Emperor Dongji of the Heavenly Court. Below the Heavenly Vault, within the void. Ye Xuan’s aura was not apparent as he looked down upon Huaguo Mountain in the Lower Realm. When Bai Hong and the others came into his field of vision, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and a trace of apprehension flashed through them. But the apprehension in Ye Xuan’s eyes quietly faded away, leaving him appearing tranquil and composed, giving off an aura like the gentle breeze of spring. “Insolent Daoist, daring to come to my Huaguo Mountain to battle; come down at once and meet your demise!” shouted a Demon General before the battle, which led to a chorus of agreement from the endless ranks of Demon Soldiers. “How dare you! This is the Eastern...,” Han Guang’s face changed as he began to rebuke them loudly, but before he could finish his sentence, Ye Xuan cut him off with a glance. “Below, isn’t that my Daoist friend, the Long-Armed Ape King Bai Hong?” Ye Xuan smiled and gazed down at Bai Hong. As their eyes met across the void, the whole world seemed to fall silent. Bai Hong looked at Ye Xuan with a peculiar gaze, constantly sizing him up. Although he could sense that Ye Xuan was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal, the mere exchange of looks went so far as to awaken a deep sense of gravity in Bai Hong’s heart. Emperor Dongji is very strange! This simple sentence illuminated Bai Hong’s thoughts. His true form was that of the Long-Armed Ape Monkey, ranked third among the Four Monstrous Monkeys of chaos. His mind was clear and penetrating; he greatly trusted his own feelings. Although Daoist Ye Xuan did not show off nor reveal his depths, and was even smiling at him, he gave Bai Hong a sense of danger. What astonished Bai Hong the most was that the thirty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals did not exhibit the slightest aura nor did any Herculean Servants beat the war drums, as if they did not come to subdue his Huaguo Mountain. Bai Hong had some difficulty guessing Daoist Ye Xuan’s true purpose, but as the saying goes, one does not strike those who come with a smile. Naturally, Bai Hong would not be rude and gave a Taoist bow, his voice booming like a great bell, “I am Bai Hong. May I know if you are Daoist Ye Xuan, Emperor Dongji from the Heavenly Court?” “I have long heard of the reputation of the Long-Armed Ape King, and seeing you today, the reputation is indeed well-deserved.” As Ye Xuan spoke, he casually walked from the void toward Bai Hong and the other Demon Kings, a sight that caused the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to change their expressions drastically and left the numerous Demon Kings and their endless demon soldiers utterly silent. Logically speaking, Ye Xuan, as an Emperor of the Heavenly Court, was here at Huaguo Mountain for a punitive expedition, and the confrontation between them was unquestionably to the death. Now, Ye Xuan was walking alone towards the group of Demon Kings; if these Demon Kings were to attack in unison, they could tear Ye Xuan to pieces in Huaguo Mountain in an instant. “Emperor, come back,” Han Guang’s face changed dramatically, urging Ye Xuan with a trembling voice. “Be at ease for a moment and wait here for my return.” Without waiting for Han Guang to continue persuading, Ye Xuan’s voice rang in Han Guang’s ears, leaving Han Guang stupefied, clearly unable to understand Ye Xuan’s actions and thoughts. At this moment! On Huaguo Mountain, the Demon Kings sneered fiercely, their eyes on Ye Xuan showing intense killing intent. The Snake Demon King even uttered in a deadly tone, “Big brother, this Daoist is truly a fool for daring to come here alone. If we rush him together and slay him, we’ll save our children from having to battle the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.” “Humph!” Bai Hong’s brow furrowed as he glared fiercely at the Snake Demon King and reprimanded, “We of Huaguo Mountain, renowned throughout the Eastern Continent, if people knew that we ganged up against Ye Xuan, wouldn’t that be a mockery?” “Big brother speaks truly. Daoist Ye Xuan may be an Emperor from the Heavenly Court, but he has boldly come alone to our Huaguo Mountain. Merely for that courage, he deserves our respect. For us to gang up on him would be a complete loss of face; we cannot carry through such an act.” The Heavenly Peng King was the most prideful and naturally disdained to do such a thing, his gaze toward Ye Xuan also showing a hint of admiration. “Big brother, second brother, I was just talking,” the Snake Demon King said, looking rather embarrassed and promptly fell silent with a fawning smile. At this time. With a smile on his face, Ye Xuan had already landed on Huaguo Mountain, only thirty feet from Bai Hong and the others, and the surrounding endless demon soldiers subtly enclosed them from all sides, their eyes on Ye Xuan continually flashing with cruel killing intent. Calm as a light breeze and clear skies, untainted by the dust of the world. Ye Xuan gave a Taoist bow, his face showing no fear. Surrounded by endless demon soldiers, he smiled at Bai Hong, “Today, let’s set aside grievances. I have come here just for a cup of rice wine. I wonder if the Ape King is willing to host me, an unexpected guest?” Watching Ye Xuan being encircled by the endless demon soldiers and scrutinized by the seventy-two Cave Demon Kings without a change in expression, Bai Hong viewed Ye Xuan with a quietly growing admiration. “Emperor Dongji is truly extraordinary. Merely for your courage to come alone to my Huaguo Mountain, I, Bai, must personally pour this cup of water wine for Daoist friend.”
