155: The strength of the Demon Palace

Two days later.

The transport vehicle, filled with 'children,' had already driven out of the city.

"Brother Huang, this batch of goods is quite cooperative. They haven't made any noise, and the journey has been smooth so far."

"Hmm, be careful. After this trip, I'll find some fun for you guys."

Huang Shan said with a smile.

"Brother Huang is generous, haha..."

Within a twenty-kilometer radius of the city wall, there was mostly wasteland. Further out, it was dense forest.

The delivery point was always at the intersection of the dense forest and the wasteland, and this time was no exception.

The handover was the simplest part; the most troublesome was how to pass through various districts and secretly leave the city.

The vehicle stopped at a small intersection, surrounded by many abandoned vehicles. No one would pay attention here.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a black robe appeared.

Huang Shan quickly went to greet him: "Elder Wu, you've been waiting long."

"Not long. Brother Huang is always punctual, which is good," the middle-aged man said indifferently.

Then, he got into the car and began to inspect the 'goods.'

"Elder Wu flatters me. It's only right."

Huang Shan accompanied him with a smile, introducing: "This batch is all fresh, with no problems whatsoever. They look skinny, but that's just because they haven't been fed much recently."

"Hmm, not bad. I can feel it."

The man finally showed a smile on his face, secretly wondering if this Huang Shan was being overly modest. This batch of goods was more than just 'fresh'; they were top-notch. Their Qi and vitality were so vigorous, almost on par with a strong adult man.

It seems Underworld Eleven's disguise techniques still have room for improvement.

"As long as Elder Wu is satisfied. I'll take my leave now?" Huang Shan said with a smile.

"Yes, go. I'll have someone settle the final payment. Also, you can start preparing next month's goods."

"Of course, you can rest assured."

After Huang Shan finished speaking, he took his subordinates and drove away in the other cars, leaving the transport vehicle for the middle-aged man.

The man was about to get into the driver's seat to move the car elsewhere.

Suddenly, a few of the children next to him stood up, staring straight at him.

"Damn it, you little brats!" The man was startled and was about to slap them.

"Don't kill them."

At this moment, a voice came from the back of the car.

The man was still wondering who was speaking when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if he had been hit by a train.

"Damn it... Ow..."

Then, the man felt his hands and feet clamped, unable to move, followed by a flurry of punches and kicks like a storm.

"Come out, Ghost Face Bear King, Adamant Vulture, Bloodthirsty Python, Blood Burst Spider!"

With his last bit of consciousness, the man summoned all four of his Monarch Rank Beast Tamers, completely wrecking the transport vehicle.

"Four Monarch Rank? Not bad, don't kill them yet."

The voice appeared again.

The man felt the punches and kicks stop, thinking he was saved. He opened his eyes and almost popped them out.

He saw his four Beast Tamers being mercilessly beaten like toys by a group of 'children.'

The Bear King and the Vulture were bruised and swollen, beaten so badly their parents wouldn't recognize them.

The Bloodthirsty Python was being swung around like a whip by a child holding its tail, occasionally hitting the Spider.

The Blood Burst Spider was the worst off; all eight of its legs were dislocated, and several children were holding it in their hands, gnawing on it, blood spurting everywhere.

"Delicious, is this what food tastes like?" ...In the blink of an eye, all his Beast Tamers were wiped out!

Are these 'children'?

They're all humanoid Yao Beasts, damn it!!!

The man wanted to do something, but his hands and feet were firmly locked.

Today, he was truly done for.

"Why don't you recall your Beast Tamers? Are you waiting to be hotpot ingredients?"

At this moment, that voice sounded again.

The man was helpless and could only comply.

If he didn't recall them, they would truly all be gone.

The one speaking was, of course, Lin Chuan's Clone.

How could this grand play proceed without him, the main character?

He had arrived in the car invisibly early on, and also recalled the Gray Snake from Huang Shan.

Soul Parasitism!

The last Monarch Rank soul seed was directly given to this Elder of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace; keeping it would be a waste.

However, time was tight, so it could only be ripened first.

Soul Spike!

When in doubt, fire one off first.

"Ow..."

The man howled like his balls had been crushed, flailing his limbs, almost breaking free.

"Are you going to talk or not?"

The man wailed and gasped, also seemingly in silent defiance.

"Still quite stubborn?"

One minute later.

Soul Spike!

"Ow..."

The man twitched all over as if electrocuted... "Are you going to talk or not?"

After half a minute, the man finally stopped twitching and said miserably:

"I'll talk... I'll talk... What should I say?"

"You dare to ask me back?"

Soul Spike!

"Ow..." ... "I'll talk, my name is Wu Chang, I'm 48 this year, an external affairs Elder of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, mainly responsible for purchasing human tickets..."

"You've learned to answer preemptively?"

Soul Spike!

"Ow..."

... "Still not confessing proactively? Waiting for me to ask?"

Soul Spike!

...Twenty minutes later, it took a full twenty-plus Soul Spikes to completely break his will to resist.

Even without a soul seed, his obedience to Lin Chuan was almost 100%.

Even if he were told to die now, he probably wouldn't hesitate.

However, Lin Chuan wouldn't take even a one percent risk. Only when the soul seed was fully mature did Lin Chuan end his interrogation.

Speaking of interrogation, it seems not a single question was asked.

"Let's go, take us to the Secret Realm."

"Yes, Master."

He had already confessed that the Secret Realm entrance was in another location. Upon arrival, special equipment was needed to send an accurate signal, and only after the people inside received it would they open the entrance.

"How strong is the Ten Thousand Demon Palace?"

Lin Chuan asked.

"On Xuanwu City's side, there are a total of seven Vice Hall Masters, and recently a Snake King returned, so there should be eight. All of them are King-rank Beast Tamers. The strongest one is said to be no weaker than the Nine Venerables. In addition, there are over twenty King Rank Demon Beasts guarding the palace. Then there are nearly two hundred Diamond Rank Beast Tamers, but most of them are scattered within Xuanwu City."

"Holy crap, so that means there are forty to fifty King Rank Demon Beasts?"

Lin Chuan felt that his twenty-plus Monarch Rank were practically going to be cannon fodder!

"Within the Secret Realm, only one Vice Hall Master is stationed year-round, and the Snake King is also there now. The Demon Beasts guarding the palace generally don't stay in the Secret Realm for long, only occasionally coming in for a snack."

"So lax? Aren't they afraid their lair will be raided?"

"If a King Rank invades, the various Vice Hall Masters will automatically receive a warning. Moreover, unless the Nine Venerables act simultaneously, no one has the strength to shake the Ten Thousand Demon Palace."

"That's true."

Lin Chuan hadn't expected the Ten Thousand Demon Palace to be so powerful, already strong enough to contend with the Nine Venerables, yet they had always kept their strength hidden.

At most, they occasionally made small moves to show their presence.

During actual Yao Beast attacks on the city, their figures were almost nowhere to be seen.

Moreover, this was only on Xuanwu City's side. Judging by his tone, other ring cities also seemed to have them.

If they were to unite, one or two hundred King Rank Demon Beasts would be no weaker than the entire Xuanwu City's strength, right!
