Lord Demon King

Ye Chen knew that Big Beard and the others would definitely pursue him, so he had already set up a disguise at a fork in the road.

"Ye Chen, why do I feel like we are heading toward the exit now?" The Alchemist suddenly said.

The Alchemist's words reminded Ye Chen, and after looking around, he also felt that something was slightly off.

The path was getting narrower and narrower, much like the feeling when they first walked in.

"Devil King, what are you looking for here? You can tell us, and we can help you search."

Voices came from the other side of the valley; Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and held his breath.

A woman's light laughter drifted over: "What I am searching for here is something you cannot comprehend. There is no need for you to monitor me like this. Rest assured, we hold no hostility toward you. It has not been a day or two since I began interacting with you; surely you can trust me by now? Also, do not call me Devil King outside!"

"Yes! Li Qing knows his mistake!" This voice was both panicked and respectful.

Ye Chen, however, heard their conversation clearly. Clearly, the woman's voice belonged to the person called the Devil King.

Ye Chen was puzzled; was this woman the legendary Devil King among the monsters, or was her name actually Devil King?

If she were the Devil King among monsters, why would she be with humans?

"Gun Gun, can you sense the direction they are heading?"

Gun Gun shook its head: "I cannot."

Dark Ji said: "Let me go. I can use Stealth to sneak over."

Ye Chen nodded: "Be careful."

Stealth was a Cultivation Technique that Ye Chen had exchanged for in the Point Mall.

Dark Ji silently crept along the top of the canyon, while Ye Chen sensed Dark Ji's position and followed quietly below.

Dark Ji sent a voice transmission to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, this person is exactly the mysterious woman we encountered some days ago."

Dark Ji watched the woman wearing a white veil and spoke to Ye Chen via voice transmission.

Ye Chen was slightly stunned; he had not expected to run into that woman here.

Suddenly, Dark Ji's figure flashed and she rushed in another direction; clearly, the woman had changed her course.

Ye Chen looked at the mountain peak, gritted his teeth, and followed.

Arriving at the mountain peak, he saw that the woman was followed by a group of people wearing cloaks.

That group always maintained a distance of five meters from the woman, not daring to step forward even an inch, as if that spot were a forbidden zone.

The woman did not pay any attention to the surrounding environment and continued walking forward.

After walking for who knows how long, they arrived before a patch of mist, and the woman finally stopped.

The many men wearing black cloaks immediately stopped.

The woman glanced indifferently at the people behind her and turned her head.

"Awoo! Awoo!"

The roars of many monsters came from within the mist.

Ye Chen frowned slightly; he did not know what this place was.

Yet the woman seemed to know, walking straight toward this place.

Suddenly, the mist began to tremble, and figures ran out from within it.

[Painting Tiger] Rank: LV54 Tier: Lord Attribute: Dark ...

[Strange Star] Rank: LV55 Tier: Lord Attribute: Water ...

More than thirty monsters ran out from the mist and knelt neatly before the woman.

"Greetings, Devil King!"

Ye Chen was startled.

"Devil King? Just as I thought! This woman is actually a monster, and she is the existence of the Devil King among monsters!"

"But? But this woman is a monster, why does she live in the human region, and why does she have so many humans as subordinates?"

This left Ye Chen somewhat puzzled.

The woman waved her hand and said: "Where is Wu Xing?"

Painting Tiger and Strange Star looked at each other and both shook their heads, saying: "We do not know about this; we have not seen Lord Wu Xing for a long time."

Because of the veil, one could not see the changes in the woman's expression.

"Devil King, may I ask what brings you here?" Strange Star asked respectfully.

"Where is the five elements divine stone?" the woman said in an icy voice.

Upon hearing this name, Ye Chen was instantly stunned.

"five elements divine stone? There is actually a five elements divine stone here?"

Ye Chen was greatly shocked; if there really was a five elements divine stone here, he must find a way to obtain it.

This five elements divine stone was a top-tier Material of the Heaven Rank, with a value even exceeding the omnipotent crystal.

He had not expected that this woman's goal was actually the five elements divine stone.

Thinking about it, it was normal; if this woman really was the Devil King among monsters, the only thing that could interest her would be such an item.

Ye Chen could also guess that this woman must be plotting something; otherwise, she would not have bid on that omnipotent crystal during the last auction.

Strange Star lowered his head and said weakly: "Reporting to you, my Lord, the five elements divine stone was taken away by Lord Wu Xing."

"What! He took it away?" The woman's emotions finally fluctuated slightly.

"Yes, Lord Wu Xing took it, and he has also left this place."

After a long while, the woman spoke: "Mm, I understand. You may withdraw first."

"Yes!" The many monsters then withdrew.

The woman suddenly looked toward Ye Chen's direction and said in a low voice: "Have you seen enough?"

Ye Chen was stunned.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Lady Kong Xi to have such good eyesight."

A black figure suddenly appeared, as if emerging from the air, and the position where it appeared was right below Ye Chen.

[Jia Si] Rank: LV72 Tier: Monarch Attribute: Dark ...

Jia Si was dressed all in black, his body seeming to be wrapped in a layer of black skin, with a tattoo on his back that looked like a green-faced, fanged ghost.

"So this woman's name is Kong Xi. It's a good thing I stayed calm just now, otherwise I would have almost given myself away."

Ye Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Jia Si chuckled and came before Kong Xi, looking at her with a frivolous expression.

As the Devil King, being looked at like that by Jia Si naturally made Kong Xi very uncomfortable: "If I had recovered seven-tenths of my strength, I would definitely gouge your eyes out."

"Hehe, Lady Kong Xi, don't say that. It's not like your strength has recovered; right now, your strength is not even as good as mine, so you shouldn't say such things."

Jia Si continued to look at Kong Xi with a lewd expression, and even his speech was somewhat frivolous.

Kong Xi snorted coldly, and the space around Jia Si suddenly shattered, a gap appearing that directly blasted Jia Si back several meters.

"Jia Si! You must remember, although my strength is currently inferior to yours, I am the Devil King, and I am of the First Race! You, a Second-Tier Middle-Class Race, have no capital to be arrogant in front of me! If you act like this again, I will not hesitate to let my strength regress further just to kill you!"

Kong Xi's voice was extremely icy.

Jia Si was frightened by the attack just now and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, among monsters, race and Rank were an impassable chasm.

No wonder Xuan Nv was so determined to Breakthrough in Rank.

"I ask you! Is there any news of Wu Xing?"

Jia Si shook his head and said: "I do not know; I have not seen Lord Wu Xing for a long time."

"Then do you know any news about Heavenly Silk, Earthworm, winter sun, or summer snow?"

Jia Si nodded and then shook his head: "I do not know the news of the other three; I only know the news of winter sun. winter sun is in the Fire Forest, guarded by Yin Fire and Yang Fire!"
