Chapter 548: As expected, he was up to no good

~7 min read 1,339 words

Facing Yang Xian's glare, Hong Zun gave Shi Song a wink. The latter understood instantly, stepped forward, and knocked Yang Xian unconscious with a hand chop.

"How about it, should we finish him off?"

He then looked at Hong Zun and asked. Hearing this, Hong Zun looked strange.

"Senior Brother, how can you have such thoughts? You are supposed to be upright and incorruptible."

"But he knows our secret now. Shouldn't we get rid of him?"

"What kind of secret is this? Besides, he is the Great Elder of the Luoxia Sect. If you kill him, won't the Luoxia Sect fight us to the death?"

It's one thing to get rid of a few disciples, but he is a Great Elder. If you really kill him, the Luoxia Sect will probably go crazy.

And why does it feel like Senior Brother has changed a lot recently?

With his personality, he definitely wouldn't have been able to say such things in the past.

Not just Hong Zun, but even Fairy Baihua and Zhang Tianzhen were looking at Shi Song with strange expressions.

Facing the gazes of the few, Shi Song's old face turned red, and he laughed sheepishly.

"Hehe, I was just saying it casually, just saying."

Shi Song, who had always upheld the law and managed the Law Enforcement Hall, was now talking about getting rid of this and that; it was indeed strange.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I feel that tomorrow's events might not go so smoothly."

Not dwelling on it too much, Hong Zun changed the subject.

"What do you mean?"

"Zhihu. Although he is a stupid tiger, he still has some small cleverness. He will probably be on guard."

He is the strategist of the Tiger Clan, a dog-headed advisor of sorts. If he didn't even have this small amount of cunning, Demon King Zhihu would be unworthy of his name.

Hearing this, Shi Song, Qingshi, and the others all nodded. Indeed, that stupid tiger still has some small cleverness.

"Then what should we do?"

"We will do this..."

Hong Zun and the others were discussing tomorrow's plan, and on Demon King Zhihu's side, it was the same.

After ending the call with Hong Zun, Demon King Zhihu pondered for a long time before looking at Sha Hu and saying.

"Tomorrow, you go to the handover location yourself. You must bring back the Blood Tiger Demon King and the Black Tiger Demon King."

Huh???

Hearing this, Sha Hu's expression sank. It's me again, damn it? He immediately said weakly.

"This... I am afraid I cannot shoulder this heavy responsibility."

He had already escaped death several times at the hands of the Profound Heaven Sect; he wouldn't have such good luck every time.

Sha Hu was truly afraid, but to this, Demon King Zhihu said coldly.

"Are you refusing?"

"No... I just feel that my strength is low, and I am afraid a Demon King still needs to be there."

"A Demon King there? To let Yang Xian ambush us again?"

"This..."

Demon King Zhihu naturally worried that the humans would use the same trick again, so this time he had no intention of sending a Demon King.

He would just let Sha Hu go alone. Even if there was an ambush, it would only be the loss of one Sha Hu.

Moreover, if the humans really intended to release the demons, Sha Hu's presence would be enough.

His eyes were full of threats, and the meaning was already very clear: you go whether you want to or not.

He still had no power to refuse. Who told him they were Demon Kings?

In the demon race, there were never any laws or rules; it was all about the survival of the fittest. If my status is higher than yours and my strength is greater than yours, I can control your life and death, and I don't even need a reason to kill you.

Hanging his head, Sha Hu said with a heart like dead ashes.

"Yes."

"That's not bad. Don't worry, this King will not let you die in vain. I will naturally reward you with some life-saving items."

"Thank you, Demon King."

A day passed quickly. By the next day, many disciples began to prepare.

According to what Hong Zun said, everyone was wearing casual clothes and covering their faces, making it impossible to tell who was who.

While preparing, many disciples gathered in groups of three or five to discuss, including Ye Changqing and the others.

"Do you think Master's plan will work?"

"It should be fine."

"Be careful when the time comes, don't get surrounded by demon beasts."

"I know."

Soon, the disciples left Lingcheng in batches and headed to the pre-arranged location.

However, they did not get close, but instead set up many array formations on the only path for retreat.

Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and others commanded and shouted loudly to the disciples.

"Pay attention, everyone. Focus on trapping arrays and binding talismans. Use more medicinal powder as well."

"Make sure the markings are done well so we don't hit our own people."

The disciples were extremely busy. Regarding these things, except for the Dragon Elephant Peak disciples who were still a bit unfamiliar, the disciples of the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak were already very familiar with them.

Setting up a trap or something like that was simply a piece of cake.

Soon, a large number of traps were set up, and then Hong Zun came alone. As for Qingshi and the others, they did not follow.

Arriving alone at the agreed handover location, he saw Sha Hu from afar.

For a moment, Hong Zun and Sha Hu, one man and one tiger, stared at each other. Seeing that the other had come alone, they both secretly thought to themselves.

As expected, he was up to no good.

Each harboring their own ulterior motives, it was not without reason that this Sha Hu could survive until now, all the way from Black Tiger Abyss to Tiger Ridge.

Facing Hong Zun, this guy smiled calmly.

"Greetings, Saint Hong Zun. I wonder where the two Demon Kings of my Tiger Clan are?"

To this, Hong Zun curled his lips.

"Who are you?"

"I am Sha Hu, under the Black Tiger Demon King."

"I don't know you. Let Demon King Zhihu come out. Your strength is too weak and your status is too low; you are not worthy of handing over to me."

Wanting to see the Demon King? As expected, but these human tricks had long been seen through by the Demon King; it was simply ridiculous.

Demon King Zhihu naturally did not come, but Sha Hu still used his bloodline connection. Soon, a blood screen appeared in front of Hong Zun, and Demon King Zhihu appeared within it.

Seeing Hong Zun alone, a flash of realization crossed Demon King Zhihu's eyes. These humans were indeed untrustworthy.

"Hong Zun, where are Black Tiger and Blood Tiger?"

"They are in the back."

"Then why haven't you released the demons?"

"What's the rush? For a handover like this, shouldn't you show yourself in person?"

"Heh..."

Hearing this, Demon King Zhihu smiled wisely.

"Hong Zun, do you really take this King for a fool? I am afraid you didn't bring Black Tiger and Blood Tiger at all, did you? I had long guessed that you were up to no good."

With an expression of having seen through the human plan, Hong Zun feigned surprise.

"You... damn it, how could you see through Yang Xian's plan?"

"Heh, as expected, it was that Yang Xian again. Where is he? Is he ambushing somewhere? With such base methods, do you humans think this King will still fall for it?"

"Hmph, so what if you saw through it? The result is still the same. Yang Xian, do it now."

Hong Zun roared in feigned frustration, and from the rear, Zhao Zhengping and the others heard the sound.
