Chapter 297

Facing Yang Xian's angry glare, Hong Zun gave Shi Song a look; the latter instantly understood and knocked Yang Xian out with a single knife-hand strike. (No Chinese)

Yang Xian, Hong Zun, Shi Song

"How is it? Did you do it?" (No Chinese)

No named entities.

He then turned to Hong Zun and asked; hearing this, Hong Zun's face turned strange. (No Chinese)

Hong Zun

"Senior brother, how could you have such a thought? You're supposed to be upright and incorruptible." (No Chinese)

【13】 Luo Xia Sect, Grand Elder

"But he knows our secret—shouldn't we kill him?" (No Chinese)

No named.

"What kind of secret is this? Besides, he's a Grand Elder of the Luo Xia Sect—if you kill him, won't the Luo Xia Sect fight us to the death?" (No Chinese)

Luo Xia Sect, Grand Elder

"Killing a few disciples might be overlooked, but he's a Grand Elder—if you really killed him, the Luo Xia Sect would go crazy." (No Chinese)

Grand Elder, Luo Xia Sect

"Besides, it feels like the senior brother has changed a lot lately." (No Chinese)

No named.

"Given his personality, he would never have said something like that before." (No Chinese)

No named.

"Not only Hong Zun, but Bai Hua Xianzi, Zhāng Tiānzhèn, and others also stared at Shi Song with strange looks." (Check: Zhāng Tiānzhèn includes tone marks, but that's okay; it's still Latin letters with diacritics, not Chinese characters. Acceptable.)

Hong Zun, Bai Hua Xianzi, Zhāng Tiānzhèn, Shi Song

"Under the gaze of several people, Shi Song's face flushed, and he gave an embarrassed smile." (No Chinese)

Shi Song

"Heh, I was just talking off the cuff, just saying it casually." (No Chinese)

No named.

"Shi Song, who had always enforced the law impartially and headed the Law Enforcement Hall, now constantly talks about doing this and that—it's indeed become unfamiliar." (No Chinese)

Shi Song, Law Enforcement Hall

"Never mind that—I think tomorrow's affairs won't go so smoothly." (No Chinese)

No named.

"Moreover, they didn't dwell on it too much, as Hong Zun changed the subject." (No Chinese)

Hong Zun

"What do you mean?" (No Chinese)

No named.

"Zhihu, although he's basically a stupid tiger, he still has a bit of cleverness; I expect he'll take precautions." (No Chinese)

Zhihu

Zhihu, Zhihu Demon King

Now continue.

"No matter what, he's the strategist of the tiger clan, like a dog-headed military advisor; if he didn't even have this little trick, the Zhihu Demon King would be undeserving of his name." (No Chinese)

Zhihu Demon King

"Hearing this, Shi Song, Qing Shi, and others nodded; indeed, that stupid tiger still has some cleverness." (No Chinese)

Shi Song, Qing Shi

"What should we do?" (No Chinese)

No named.

"We'll do it like this.................." (No Chinese)

No named.

"Hong Zun and the others were discussing tomorrow's plan, while the Zhihu Demon King's side was doing the same." (No Chinese)

Hong Zun, Zhihu Demon King

"After ending the call with Hong Zun, the Zhihu Demon King first pondered for a while, then looked at Sha Hu and spoke." (No Chinese)

Hong Zun, Zhihu Demon King, Sha Hu

"Tomorrow you go to the meeting point yourself and be sure to bring back the Xuehu Yaowang and Heihu Yaowang." (No Chinese)

Xuehu Yaowang, Heihu Yaowang

"Huh???" (No Chinese)

No named.

"Hearing this, Sha Hu's face darkened, and he muttered, 'Again? It's me again?' then spoke weakly." (No Chinese)

Sha Hu

"This... I'm afraid I can't bear such a heavy responsibility." (No Chinese)

No named.

"He has escaped death several times at the hands of the Dao Yi Sect, but it's not every time that he's had such good luck." (No Chinese)

Dao Yi Sect

"Sha Hu was truly frightened, but regarding this, the Zhihu Demon King coldly said." (No Chinese)

Sha Hu, Zhihu Demon King

"Are you refusing?" (No Chinese)

No named.

"No... I just feel my strength is too low; I'm afraid we still need the Demon King to hold the fort." (No Chinese)

Demon King

"The Demon King holding the fort? Let Yang Xian set up another ambush?" (No Chinese)

Demon King, Yang Xian

"This..." (No Chinese)

No named.

"The Zhihu Demon King naturally also worried that the humans would repeat their old trick, so this time he had no intention of sending the Demon King forward." (No Chinese)

Zhihu Demon King, Demon King

"Just let Sha Hu go himself; even if there's an ambush, at most we'd lose just Sha Hu." (No Chinese)

Sha Hu

"Moreover, if the humans really intended to release the demon, Sha Hu's presence would be enough." (No Chinese)

Sha Hu

"His eyes were full of threat; the meaning was clear—you have to go whether you want to or not." (No Chinese)

No named.

"Still, you have no right to refuse—after all, who made him the Demon King?" (No Chinese)

Demon King

"In the demon race, there have never been any laws or rules; it's all about the survival of the fittest—my status is higher than yours, my strength greater, which means I can control your life and death; I could kill you without needing any reason." (No Chinese)

Demon Race

"With his head bowed, Sha Hu spoke in a voice ashen with despair." (No Chinese)

Sha Hu

"Yes." (No Chinese)

No named.

"That's not bad; rest assured, I, the king, won't let you die pointlessly—life-saving items will naturally be rewarded to you." (No Chinese)

【91】 Demon King

"Thank you, Demon King." (No Chinese)

Demon King

"One day passed quickly, and by the next day, many disciples began preparing." (No Chinese)

No named.

"As Hong Zun said, everyone wore plain clothes and covered their faces, making it impossible to tell who was who." (No Chinese)

Hong Zun

"While preparing, many disciples gathered in small groups to discuss, including Ye Zhangqing and his companions." (No Chinese)

Ye Zhangqing

"Do you think Shīzūn's plan will succeed?" (Check: Shīzūn includes tone marks, okay.)

Shīzūn

"It should be fine." (No Chinese)

No named.

"By then, be careful—don't get surrounded by demon beasts." (No Chinese)

【107】 Spirit City

"I know." (No Chinese)

No named.

"Soon, the disciples left Spirit City in batches, heading to the predetermined location." (No Chinese)

Spirit City

"However, they didn't approach directly; instead, they set up numerous formations along the essential retreat route." (No Chinese)

No named.

"Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and others commanded, shouting loudly at the disciples." (No Chinese)

Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie

"Pay attention, everyone—we'll mainly use trapping formations and binding talisman seals, and also use more medicinal powder." (No Chinese)

【117】 Dragon Elephant Peak, Divine Sword Peak, Jade Maiden Peak

"Make sure the markers are all set, so we don't hit our own people later." (No Chinese)

No named.

"The disciples

Dragon Elephant Peak, Divine Sword Peak, Jade Maiden Peak, disciple

"Setting up traps or the like was as easy as pie."

No named.

"Soon, numerous traps were set up, after which only Hong Zun came alone, while Qing Shi and the others did not follow."

Hong Zun, Qing Shi

"Alone, he arrived at the appointed meeting spot and from afar saw Sha Hu."

Sha Hu

For a moment, Hong Zun and the Killing Tiger, one person and one tiger, locked eyes; seeing that the other had come alone, for a moment they both secretly thought.

Indeed, damn, you're hiding something bad.

Everyone has ulterior motives; to say that this Killing Tiger could survive to now, all the way from the Heihu Abyss to Huling, is not without reason.

Facing Hong Zun, this guy smiled without changing expression.

"I have greeted Saint Hong Zun; I wonder where the two Demon Kings of our tiger clan are?"

In response, Hong Zun curled his lips and said.

"Who are you?"

"I am Killing Tiger, subordinate of the Heihu Demon King."

"I don't know you; let the Wisdom Tiger Demon King come out—your strength is too weak, your status too low, you're not worthy to interface with me."

"Want to see the Demon King? Indeed, that's the case, but your human schemes have long been seen through by the Demon King—simply ridiculous."

The Wisdom Tiger Demon King naturally didn't come, but Killing Tiger still connected via bloodline; soon, a blood curtain appeared before Hong Zun, and the Wisdom Tiger Demon King appeared within the blood curtain.

Seeing only Hong Zun, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King's eyes flashed with realization; these humans are indeed untrustworthy.

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

"They're behind."

"Then why not release the demons?"

"What's the rush? For this handover, shouldn't you personally show up?"

"Heh..........."

Upon hearing that, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King gave a wise smile.

"Hong Zun, do you really think I'm stupid? You probably didn't bring the Black Tiger and Blood Tiger at all; I already guessed you were hiding something bad."

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

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

"Heh, indeed it's that Yang Xian again; where are his people hiding? Such a vile tactic, do you humans think I'll still fall for it?"

"Hmph, even if you've seen through it, the result is still the same; Yang Xian, why don't you make a move?"

Hong Zun shouted angrily with a furious expression, and in the rear, Zhao Zhengping and others who heard the sound.

"It's the master's signal."

"Charge!"

In an instant, the Dao Yi Sect disciples who had been lying in ambush in the rear rushed out, appearing to launch a full-scale attack on Huling.

Behind the blood curtain, the Wisdom Tiger Demon King's face darkened; because of Hong Zun's words, it naturally regarded these people as Luo Xia Sect disciples, and gritted its teeth and shouted.

"Yang Xian, are you really intending to go to war with my Huling, Luo Xia Sect?"
