Book 5: Chapter 22: Trade For Life

The hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, where the singing and dancing were once peaceful, has become a ruin.

Under the scorching InextinguishableFire, even the stones that constitute the main hall of the city’s mansion have softened and melted into a strange shape on the ground. Several scorched corpses lie crookedly in the ruins. Under the action of the sudden high temperature, they still maintain the posture before death, but with a light touch, they would turn into the finest ashes and dissipate.

These scorched corpses also included two demon kings, Flying Tiger King and Kui Bull King. After the goal was achieved, Bai Qiuran had no need to hold back. Both demon kings were in a state of serious injuries, thus they couldn’t escape their demise.

However, under Bai Qiuran’s deliberate control, the White Bear King did not die. At the moment the fireball exploded, the shock wave knocked him out. The high temperature caused severe burns to most of his body, but for a Demon King, it’s not an injury that could not be recovered.

Stepping on the ashes on the ground, Bai Qiuran crossed the ruins, grabbed the White Bear King by the neck, and lifted him from the pile of building fragments.

“Where is the map fragment of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor?”

Bai Qiuran asked.

“Pooh!”

The White Bear King barely spit out bloody saliva at Bai Qiuran, but the latter was prepared for it and just leaned his head sideways to dodge.

“Well, I’m actually just trying. Never mind, I can find it by myself.”

Bai Qiuran threw the White Bear King to the ground, and then took out the Wise Immortal hanging on his waist and faced the White Bear King.

“On his thumb, that ring is a storage tool.”

After watching for a while, Wise Immortal spouted green sparks in his eyes and said.

“You… are you a living thing?”

The White Bear King fell to the ground and asked in astonishment.

However, neither Bai Qiuran nor Wise Immortal paid any attention to him. The former stepped forward and easily grabbed the ring from the weak White Bear King, broke the prohibition above, and then took out the map fragments inside.

After collecting the map fragments, he put the storage ring back on the White Bear King’s thumb, patted the latter’s face, and said:

“Look, I only take the fragments of the map. I won’t mess around with other people’s storage rings. This is the human’s manner. Bye-bye, you can lie down here.”

“Why didn’t you kill me?”

The White Bear King panted and asked.

“why?”

Bai Qiuran thought for a while and smiled:

“Of course it’s because you’re still useful. Big Bear, you still need to fight for racial equality in the demon world.”

—————–

Leaving behind the White Bear King, Bai Qiuran’s Soul Awareness locked onto Prime Minister Yun Kun and traced it all the way.

He was also not afraid of the severely injured and dying White Bear King would be tapped by the Ape King and the Dragon King. Judging from the scan results, the two Demon Kings and the new Demon Emperor were not in the city at present, and not to mention it. White Fox King was still outside the city, even Su Xiangxue would not watch the White Bear King, who was the rebel leader, being killed by the Demon Emperor faction.

As for Prime Minister Yun Kun, this guy was more cunning than the White Bear King. He was currently carrying the map fragments and rushing with all his strength, and has quietly gone to the wilderness hundreds of miles away from this city.

Bai Qiuran followed him all the way through the forest, over the mountains, dived into the canyon, and deep into the cave. Finally, in the depths of the cave, Prime Minister Yun Kun jumped into an underground lake.

Bai Qiuran followed the prime minister to dive to the bottom of this lake which was hundreds of meters deep and entered an underground river from the bottom cave. After hundreds of meters, he emerged from another underground lake. Prime Minister Kun finally stopped.

Bai Qiuran hid in the body of water, observed secretly, and quietly watched the prime minister evaporate the water vapor on his body, and walked to a stone platform in the cave.

There was a treasure chest on the stone platform. Prime Minister Yun Kun came to the treasure chest, but did not open it. Instead, he turned around and arched his hands in the direction of the underground lake:

“I have an admiration for you, Lord Sword Patriarch of the human race.”

Bai Qiuran raised his eyebrows but did not show up.

Prime Minister Yun Kun stood there and waited for a moment, then whispered in a low voice:

“Didn’t he come?”

He turned around, opened the treasure chest, took out Bai Qiuran’s map fragment from his sleeve, and put it in the treasure chest.

“Ouch, you have a lot of tricks.”

Bai Qiuran moved in an instant, and stood behind Prime Minister Yun Kun and said:

“The questioning to the air just now made my scalp numb.”

Bai Qiuran suddenly made a sound, frightening Prime Minister Yun Kun. The latter subconsciously turned around and swung his arms, but Bai Qiuran beat him to the ground with one palm.

“You really did it.”

Sitting on the ground, Prime Minister Yun Kun said with a wry smile:

“It seems that Master’s statement is correct. You are a terrifying opponent who cannot be handled even with the power of the entire demon world.”

“Who is your master?”

Bai Qiuran asked:

“Is it the one who taught you this set of skills?”

Prime Minister Yun Kun kept silent.

“Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t say it. But I probably know what you are thinking.”

Bai Qiuran looked up at the treasure chest.

“The map fragments inside are fake, aren’t they?”

Prime Minister Yun Kun remained motionless, with no expression on his face.

“Concentration is pretty good…but even if you don’t admit it, it’s useless. I have a special identification technique. The grave of your first ancestor of the demon race, I’ll find its location today.”

Bai Qiuran pinched Prime Minister Yun Kun by the neck and lifted him up.

“Fusang Shrine, Dongying, right?”

Prime Minister Yun Kun’s pupils shrank slightly.

“I have a lot of time. When I finish this important matter, I will find it by myself. It’s useless if you don’t tell me, I will always know.”

Bai Qiuran raised his other hand and slowly squeezed it into a fist. Zhen Qi gathered devastating power on his fist.

“If you’re alive, it’s a certain threat to the human race, so I’m sorry, young man, I admire you, but I still want to kill you…I’m a human after all.”

After that, Bai Qiuran blasted out with a punch towards Prime Minister Yun Kun’s forehead. At this moment, there was a scream in the direction of the underground lake.

“Stop!”

Bai Qiuran’s fist stopped in front of Prime Minister Yun Kun, and the terrifying wind of fists crossed Prime Minister Yun Kun’s cheeks, blowing all the hair on his face to the rear.

The first wind directly penetrated the rock wall behind Prime Minister Yun Kun’s head and opened a bottomless hole there.

Bai Qiuran threw Prime Minister Yun Kun on the ground and turned his head to look aside. In the underground lake, a young man who had never been masked but was wearing a purple and golden robe were looking at him with horror.

Of course, it was not the scream of the strange boy that made him stop, but the jade pendant in his hand.

“Someone told me that I can use this jade pendant to trade for a life from you.”

The young man plucked up his courage and gasped and said:

“Now I want to use it to exchange for Prime Minister Yun Kun’s life.”
