But even though he was perplexed, the other party's Otherworldly Demonic zhenqi was far more powerful than his. At the very least, the other party had to be at the King Realm or above.
Needless to say, the other party was of noble standing.
"You don't even know who I am? Men, drag this fool out and chop him up!"
Seeing how the other party was stuttering, Zhang Xuan frowned and bellowed furiously, "Young Master!
"This …"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's bellow, not only was the Saint 2-dan Otherworldly Demon stunned, the Otherworldly Demons in the area also froze.
To threaten to chop our leader into pieces, who in the world are you?
Which mental hospital did you run out from?
"Could it be …"
The Saint 2-dan Otherworldly Demon was also at a loss as to what he should do. All of a sudden, a thought flashed across his mind, and his face warped in astonishment. "Could you be … the Goldenleaf King?"
Legend had it that the Goldenleaf King was a warmongering and vicious individual who would make a move at the slightest disagreement.
He had never met the Goldenleaf King before, and he had only heard of his name. However, the person before him possessed such pure zhenqi and an imposing aura … Could he be the Goldenleaf King?
Harrumphing coldly, Zhang Xuan tilted his head upward and said, "Hmph, at least you have some discerning eyes!"
"The 214th Squadron Leader of the Greenleaf King's subordinates, Tong Yue, pays respect to Your Highness!"
Hearing Zhang Xuan's confirmation, the Saint 2-dan Otherworldly Demon Tong Yue heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly kneeled down and kowtowed. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Our Highness told us that he would be coming, and he instructed us to make preparations beforehand. Thus, we captured these master teachers and offered them as sacrifices to obtain energy to break the seal and welcome him.
He would be lying if he said that he wasn't surprised.
They were directly under the jurisdiction of the Greenleaf King, and they were worlds apart from the Goldenleaf King.
The Greenleaf King had paid a heavy price and used a unique method to send them here one by one. He had thought that when the time was right, he would make use of the master teachers to break the seal and enter the Greenleaf King. Yet, before the preparations were complete, before the ritual had even begun, the Goldenleaf King had already arrived!
The Goldenleaf King was on par with their Greenleaf King, but they didn't have much interaction with one another.
His Highness didn't come, but he came. What was going on?
"Why? Do I need to report my whereabouts to you? "
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up as he narrowed his eyes menacingly. Emanating a cold killing intent and an air of supreme authority, he bellowed, "Ignorant fool, do you believe that even if I were to kill you right here and now, the Greenleaf King wouldn't dare to utter a single word?"
"I …"
Tong Yue's body stiffened as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The other party possessed the Royal Bloodline whereas he was just an ordinary soldier. If he were to really kill the other party, there was no way the Greenleaf King would speak up for him.
This was identity and status!
"This subordinate dares not!"
He knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe loudly.
He had long heard that the Goldenleaf King was an unruly person who dared to do anything, and now that he had seen it with his own eyes … the Goldenleaf King was indeed vicious.
"That's for the best!" Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly. Seemingly satisfied with the other party's attitude, he took a step forward and pointed at Lu Feng and the others. "What's going on with them?"
"We plan to capture these fellows and use them as sacrifices to break the seal and welcome … welcome the arrival of His Highness …"
Tong Yue quickly explained.
"Sacrifice? Welcome the Greenleaf King? "Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Even though he wasn't too sure what the other party was up to, he was still able to deduce a few things from their words.
It seemed like he had arrived at the right time. Just a group of soldiers was already so fearsome. If an Otherworldly Demon King were to arrive, wouldn't Hongyuan City turn into a living hell?
Noticing the displeasure on Zhang Xuan's face, Tong Yue's mouth twitched. Only then did he realize what was going on. He hurriedly said, "I was intending to welcome the Greenleaf King, but since His Highness is here, I'll just kill these fellows right now …"
As someone who had reached his current position, not only was he not a fool, he was also a shrewd individual.
Even though there was no news of the Greenleaf King and Goldenleaf King being on bad terms with one another, if he were to sacrifice the Greenleaf King and the Goldenleaf King, wouldn't that be courting death?
After saying those words, Tong Yue turned to the Otherworldly Demons behind him and said, "Men, kill all of these fellows!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Tong Yue's orders, the Otherworldly Demons stood up and glared at Lu Feng and the others with killing intent in their eyes.
"Everyone, we might have to die here today!"
"Since we came here, we have no intention of leaving this place alive. So what if we stay here? Killing one is more than enough, killing two is a huge profit! "
"Hahaha, come! Have a taste of your grandfathers' strength! "
"Even if we die, we will drag a few of them down with us …"
Seeing the killing intent of so many Otherworldly Demons, the master teachers in the center clenched their fists tightly and burst into laughter. It was as if they were facing death with equanimity.
Just as Zhang Xuan had guessed, these 6-star pinnacle master teachers had either reached a certain level of cultivation or had reached the end of their lifespan.
Since they had entered the Subterranean Gallery, they had no intention of leaving this place alive.
As a master teacher, if they were to die in a war against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, it would be a blessing.
As such, when they heard that the other party was going to kill them, not only did they show no fear, their fighting spirit even surged.
What was there to be pitiful about?
If they could kill an additional Otherworldly Demon, it would mean that they had protected the peace of the region.
"Ignorant fools, the reason why I went easy on you previously was so that I could use your blood as a sacrifice … Now that His Highness is here, what use do I have for you?"
Seeing that not only were they fearless, but they were even brimming with confidence, Tong Yue's face darkened. With a cold harrumph, he waved his hand grandly.
Huala!
The Otherworldly Demons raised their hands simultaneously, and a powerful might gathered around them, ready to strike at any moment.
This might was powerful enough to destroy the world. Once it was released, the severely injured master teachers would surely be killed.
"Wait a moment …"
With a frown, Zhang Xuan called out.
Hearing Zhang Xuan's voice, the Otherworldly Demons, who were preparing to attack, immediately halted. Tong Yue also turned to look at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
The Goldenleaf King had always been a cold-blooded and decisive person. This was also the reason why Tong Yue was so afraid of him. Why would the other party call for a halt when he was about to make a move?
"Keep them here. I still have some questions to ask them!"
Zhang Xuan said calmly.
With the experience of impersonating Yang shi, he knew how to disguise himself as an expert. On top of that, Vicious' aura was powerful and violent, making it impossible for the other party to see through his disguise.
"Yes!"
Hearing that the 'King' had questions to ask, Tong Yue came to a realization. He waved his hand, and the Otherworldly Demons who were prepared to attack immediately put down their palms.
However, they didn't let down their guard. Instead, they continued to surround the Otherworldly Demons in case they tried to escape.
"May I know what Your Highness wishes to know? I'll have my men interrogate them right away."
Knowing that it was impossible for the Otherworldly Demons to escape, Tong Yue clasped his fist and said.
"These master teachers are all stubborn individuals. Without using some means, it will be difficult to extract any concrete information from them!"
Fearing that the other party would misunderstand, Tong Yue hurriedly explained.
Even though he hadn't been in the Subterranean Gallery for too long, he had come into contact with quite a few master teachers, and he knew that those fellows had extremely firm convictions. It was impossible to extract any information from them through ordinary interrogation.
If they didn't even fear death, how could they possibly fear interrogation?
"There's no need for that. It isn't convenient for me to reveal what I want to know to others. I just need you to find me a quiet place so that I can interrogate them alone! "
Placing his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan didn't bother to explain himself.
He exuded an unfathomable aura.
"Yes!"
Hearing that the other party wanted to interrogate them personally, Tong Yue hesitated for a moment before nodding. Then, he clasped his fist and said, "Your Highness, our temporary encampment isn't too far away. Why don't we head there to ensure that they won't be able to escape?"
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
The Subterranean Gallery was filled with Otherworldly Demons. Even if the other party thought that he was the Goldenleaf King, it was unlikely that he would be able to take Zhang Xuan away.
Thus, he had to find a secluded location to stand a chance.
Besides, the reason he was there was to investigate the Otherworldly Demons and resolve the problem at the same time. Naturally, he couldn't just leave like that.
"This way please!"
Tong Yue nodded as he led the way forward.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan flew up and followed closely behind Tong Yue. At the same time, he discreetly communicated with Vicious through his consciousness.
"Have you heard of the Goldenleaf King that he spoke of?"
"How could I possibly know those juniors? Most likely, Tong Yue has never met the Goldenleaf King before, and the purity and strength of your zhenqi are the reason why he believes you!"
Vicious pondered for a moment before replying. "The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe has a strict hierarchy. The stronger one's Zhenqi of Slaughter is, the higher one's standing is. I have only just recovered my phalanx, so I am still a long way from reaching my previous level. However, the zhenqi that I can condense isn't something that they can comprehend!"
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
Zhang Xuan's conjecture was the same as well.
Vicious was one of the strongest Emperors of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Even though his phalanx was still a long way from reaching its peak, the purity of the zhenqi contained within it was still not something that those fellows could comprehend.
On top of that, his disguise was impeccable, so it wasn't too surprising that the other party thought that he was the Goldenleaf King.
"If you make a move now, will you be able to kill all of them?" Zhang Xuan asked.
If Vicious were to make a move now, he would be able to save himself a lot of trouble.
"My strongest attack at the moment is my Will of Slaughter. Against other Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, it is extremely effective. However, against them, it is much more ineffective …"
Vicious said awkwardly.
He had been boasting about how formidable he was all day long, but when it came time to use his strength, he found himself unable to do so.
After successfully possessing the phalanx, his fighting prowess had been enhanced slightly. While he was still able to deal with a single opponent, he was still lacking when dealing with so many people.
Besides, his strongest attack was his Will of Slaughter. Against master teachers, saint beasts, and the like, those who were struck by it would stiffen up in an instant, leaving them at his mercy.
However, against fellow Otherworldly Demonic Tribe members, it was practically useless.
"Alright then."
Seeing how swiftly Vicious rejected the idea, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly. Pouting, he muttered under his breath, "I was wondering how formidable you would be, but to think that you are just a wax spearhead. How useless …"
Hearing those words, Vicious staggered, and he nearly burst into tears.
Master, I am not a wax spearhead. I am very firm, very, very firm …
