Chapter 1437: Xukong Wang Returns Again

Diewumeng left in anger, Hei Hu and the Bee King stared at each other, sighing once.

"Bee King, this time we've truly offended two women, and those women are not easy to deal with." Hei Hu sighed, "Neither of these women is simple; offending even one of them drives one to despair."

Offending both at once will certainly make them suffer.

Those two women will definitely seek revenge; they hold grudges fiercely, and this incident will make them bear a grudge against the two of us.

"What can we do? Entering the Formation offers no safety for the two of us; we both know how powerful the one inside is, and anyone who can make the Mangshan Demon Emperor suffer—do you think that's simple?"

"If we go into the Formation, it's a dead end."

"Diewumeng can find a way out of the Formation, but what about the two of us? Once trapped, aren't we just lambs to be slaughtered?"

The Bee King shook his head; he doesn't want to entrust his safety to anyone else, he doesn't want to die.

All these years, he's lived just fine—what's his secret?

Isn't it simply caution?

When dealing with unknown people or unknown dangers, he's always been extremely careful, daring not to err; a single mistake would mean endless calamity.

He never had a chance to err—not once; over the years he's walked on thin ice, each step taken with great care.

"Hei Hu, heed my advice: don't get too involved; the matters here run deep, be careful not to be plotted against," the Bee King patted his shoulder, speaking earnestly, then turned and left.

Hei Hu remained where he was; moments later, he stared at the Bee King's departing back, unable not to fall into thought.

"The Bee King isn't simple; he's been cooperating with our act all along, yet never exposed it."

"Bai Xinlan is a woman hard to handle, and Diewumeng is even more detestable, treating me like a weapon."

"Do you really think I'm brainless? Wanting me to charge for you, huh."

He, Hei Hu, is no fool who knows nothing.

This experience seems to yield nothing, but in fact, the gains are great.

These allies each have their own thoughts; everyone has their own scheming, and they truly calculate a lot.

"These people, each easy to handle, all want to overthrow the Mangshan Demon Emperor and rise to power, but they don't want to be the one in the spotlight; they want me to be the front bird, making it easy to scheme."

"One after another are shrewd, all trying to scheme me, huh."

Hei Hu turned and prepared to leave.

A figure appeared before him, a hidden silhouette—Xukong Wang materialized before his eyes, waving at Hei Hu.

The moment Hei Hu saw him, he said nothing and turned and ran.

Xukong Wang caught up; after half an hour, Hei Hu stopped, stared at Xukong Wang, and coldly said, "Xukong Wang, what do you want?"

This person seems to have recovered—seeking revenge?

Xukong Wang pressed his hand: "Hei Hu, no need to worry or be nervous; I'm not after revenge. This time, I want to cooperate with you once."

Hei Hu couldn't relax, staring at the Xukong Wang before him; this person is dangerous.

More dangerous than those women.

"You want to cooperate with me?" Hei Hu chuckled, "Did I hear that right? Between us, there seems no need for cooperation, right?"

Xukong Wang shook his head: "Hei Hu, they all want to plot against you, eager to send you to your death. Cooperating with them is worse than cooperating with me; at least I'm sincere with you and won't betray you."

"Let's join forces to tackle the Mangshan Demon Emperor together. After success, I promise you one‑third of the Mangshan Mountain Range, making you the king of the Mangshan Mountain Range. How does that sound?"

Hei Hu's mouth twitched upward; he wouldn't believe his nonsense.

"Heh heh heh, Xukong Wang, don't think you can brainwash me; this trick does nothing to me."

Who doesn't spin grand promises?

Hei Hu won't fall for it, nor will he swallow grand promises.

"Don't be so quick to refuse, Hei Hu; your situation is dangerous, they all want to eliminate you. Cooperating with me means you needn't worry about those issues, and they will also cooperate among themselves. You and I can also cooperate."

"This Dharma Protector assures you, we will not lay a hand on you."

Xukong Wang gave his promise, then stared at Hei Hu.

Hei Hu shook his head and refused, "No, I don't want to cooperate with you."

Waving his hand, Hei Hu hurried away, not wanting to linger or get entangled with Xukong Wang, only hoping to leave quickly to avoid being plotted against.

Xukong Wang certainly has a backup plan; he cannot be trusted—if one stays too long, they'll surely be plotted against.

Hei Hu ran so fast that Xukong Wang was stunned.

"Hei Hu is clever, actually knows how to flee; ordinary means can't plot against him."

"After that, trying to scheme him is unlikely."

"Diewumeng and Bai Xinlan have formed an alliance; although their alliance is fragile, it still exists."

"I must find my own alliance; fighting alone will eventually be plotted against."

One person is still too weak.

Now within the Mangshan Demon Palace, the winds and clouds shift, death can come at any moment, and he is no exception.

Without a group, there's only a dead end; he doesn't trust the Mangshan Demon Emperor—when that emperor gets ruthless, he's the most dangerous person in the Mangshan Demon Palace.

"The Mangshan Demon Emperor and the Mangshan Demon King cooperate; their relationship is ambiguous. Being of the same race, they naturally trust each other, and we outsiders should be cleared out quickly so that their people can rise and fully control the Mangshan Demon Palace."

"Before, the Mangshan Demon Emperor was uninjured; his strength could act as Protector over everything."

"Now, that's not possible."

"Perhaps we could join forces with that one inside the Formation."

Others won't trust him.

"All four Demon Kings cannot ally with him, and Bai Xinlan even less so; between them they are enemies and cannot easily set aside their hatred."

"Lan Tiansheng has completely betrayed him; those under his command long ago… fled."

"Perhaps we could meet that person inside," Xukong Wang said, having no other way, and could only seek cooperation with Qinglong Daoren.

He turned, gazed into the Formation, his eyes narrowed.

He gritted his teeth, entered the Formation; he only had this path to take, otherwise, those people all wanted to kill him.

It's impossible to defend against.

Inside the Formation.

Qinglong Daoren laughed, turned his head and said to Chen Chuyang: "Xu Kongwang has entered the Formation; he has finally come in."

"I thought he would persist for a few years; unexpectedly, he came so quickly."

Chen Chuyang smiled and said: "He had no choice; he could only enter the Formation."

"Qinglong Daoist friend, next, it's up to you; this person cannot die for now."

"Understood." Qinglong Daoren turned and entered the Formation, inside Longshe Shan; we must not let Xu Kongwang know.
