Chapter 1176: Let them jump around for a few more days

The words stuck in his throat were instantly swallowed back, and Qi Xiong stared in shock at He Yun within the formation light curtain.

You... what did you just say?

Even Ye Zhangqing nearby became interested; Fourth Elder, did you capture demon race food material?

To be honest, Ye Zhangqing is already craving the taste of that demon race food material.

It's like if you've eaten too much pork, you need to eat beef for a couple days to change the flavor.

Looking at the shocked Qi Xiong, He Yun absentmindedly picked his nose, his head practically lifted to the heavens, and spoke unhurriedly.

It's nothing, I just happened to catch about twenty or so, no big deal.

Two........... about twenty heads............

Qi Xiong could barely hold himself together now; did he really catch twenty or so?

Just as Qi Xiong was dazed, He Yun spoke unhurriedly.

Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up, I'm busy.

Wait a moment.

Huh???

Fourth Senior Brother, look at what you're saying—how long have we brothers gone without chatting? Senior Brother isn't missing you?

By now Qi Xiong had already put on a smile, his tone extremely gentle as he spoke.

But He Yun clearly wasn't buying it; hearing that, he raised the corner of his mouth.

You miss me? But I remember who sent me to guard the demon cave—it was you, Senior Brother.

Back then I had already arranged with Fifth Senior Brother for him to take my place, but Senior Brother is utterly impartial.

This... Junior Brother, you also need to understand Shī xiōng's difficulties—Shī xiōng after all is the Shèngzhǔ, these rules...

Fine, rules are rules—then if nothing else, I'll hang up.

Wait a moment.

Anything else?

That Junior Brother, when are you going to send the demon race food material back?

Let's do it together when I return.

This................

Qi Xiong suddenly panicked—waiting for He Yun to return, He Yun had only been gone a few days, with over twenty days left.

He, who had long been craving that bite of demon race food material, couldn't possibly wait twenty more days, and immediately gave an embarrassed laugh.

That Junior Brother, how about I let Fifth Senior Brother take your place? You bring the demon race food material back first.

No can do, Senior Brother himself said the rules are the rules—since the time isn't up, how could I just go back on my own?

Huh???

Alright, I'm hanging up.

Saying that, He Yun completely ignored the dazed Qi Xiong and directly cut off the formation.

This guy earlier told me about the rules, and now he's telling me to go back—what idol you picked, just wait.

Watching He Yun hang up the formation, Qi Xiong's face turned grim.

He wanted to get angry, but thinking of the demon race food material, he couldn't muster it.

Did He Yun really get demon race food material? A bit absurd—earlier that demon cave had shown no movement at all.

Actually, it's not just He Yun; the other four demon caves also had gains, not insignificant.

But those other four demon caves aren't overseen by Dao Yi Shengdi; they're handled by the other two great holy lands and the great saints of other sects.

So Qi Xiong also temporarily doesn't know the situation of those other four demon caves.

But just He Yun here has gotten over twenty demon race food materials, which completely hooked Qi Xiong's craving.

I was just saying, at the critical moment, Fourth Senior Brother is reliable.

Huh???

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nearby couldn't be bothered to speak.

Just now who was cursing He Yun to high heaven, and now he's reliable?

The appearance of demon race food material put Qi Xiong in a great mood, but as the saying goes, some homes rejoice while others lament—Qi Xiong's side is comfortable, but Bei Zun's side is suffering.

In the Demon Realm, it was still Yi Qi's hall; Bei Zun and his multitude of demon gods gathered together, and Yi Qi was also summoned.

The guards of the five demon caves kept disappearing, which thoroughly annoyed Bei Zun, and Yi Qi took pleasure in his misfortune.

What, you don't need to guard the surroundings of the demon caves anymore?

As of yesterday, Bei Zun had already withdrawn the guards around the five demon caves.

No choice—this batch goes, that batch comes; if we don't withdraw, what can we do?

However, facing Yi Qi's mockery at this moment, Bei Zun still let out a cold snort.

Hmph, these petty tricks that can't even see the light of day are no problem.

My reconnaissance troops have already arrived—just let those humans jump around for a few more days.

Bei Zun still spoke confidently; hearing that, Yi Qi pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Anyway, I have no say in this matter; everything goes as Bei Zun says, I'm just cooperating.

But although he appeared indifferent on the surface, inside Bei Zun's heart was already burning with rage.

On my side I haven't even had a chance to act, yet I was first schemed against by the humans.

Although I don't know what means the humans used, several batches of my guards are indeed gone.

At first I thought they had deserted their posts, but now it's confirmed they likely went to Haotu Shijie.

Before even making contact, I've already suffered a small loss.

This made Bei Zun, who never regarded the Human Race highly and always thought highly of himself, unable to accept it.

His killing intent toward the Human Race deepened a bit, but his scouting unit had already arrived—how long could the Human Race keep struggling?

Once he figured out the situation in Haotu Shijie, he would press his army forward and seize the whole Haotu Shijie in one fell swoop, letting those so-called Human Race know that before true strength, all schemes and tricks are empty.

Thinking of this, Bei Zun's mood improved considerably, and he even invited Yi Qi to go inspect his scouting unit together.

"Yi Qi, tomorrow accompany this king to inspect this king's scouting unit."

"You.............."

Your troops—what are you making me do? Before Yi Qi could speak, Bei Zun directly said a sentence.

"The Demon Emperor ordered you to fully cooperate with me; you won't refuse, will you?"

"Good."

Hearing that, Yi Qi gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "This guy is obviously humiliating me, but I really have no way."

I thought that would be the end of it, but the next second, Bei Zun's words almost made Yi Qi explode on the spot.

"Oh right, remember to bring your subordinates; we'll go together then."

"Don't go too far."

"What, you want to defy the Demon Emperor's order?"

Every sentence was tied to the Demon Emperor, yet Yi Qi had no recourse; in the end he could only snort coldly and leave with a grim face.

Watching Yi Qi leave, Bei Zun's mood improved considerably.

Humph, still wanting to see this king's jokes—I'll see who ends up being the joke in the end.

Bei Zun clearly heard Yi Qi's earlier mockery of him, and naturally wouldn't let him off easy.

The next day, Yi Qi indeed led his subordinates, a host of Demon Gods, and went with Bei Zun to inspect his scouting unit.

This was a unit Bei Zun had specially trained, mainly responsible for pre-battle reconnaissance.

Following behind Yi Qi, Bo Bo Ke was also there; although he too had Demon God cultivation on Yi Qi's side, his status was low, since after the scouting unit he had planned suffered a total defeat, he had fallen back to the bottom once again.

But hearing that Bei Zun had a scouting unit personally trained by him, Bo Bo Ke was also curious and felt that Bei Zun might truly be his rightful lord.

After all, in Bo Bo Ke's view, even though the Demon Race is brave, it still needs strategy and cannot rely solely on brute force.
