Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 280 Green Snake's Night Visit
Inside the secret room at Lion's Roar Mountain, the atmosphere was warm and solemn.

"Congratulations, bro!"

When Xiao Chen learned that Bull Demon King was about to inherit the Demon Saint Chitie's legacy, he smiled sincerely and congratulated him.

"Hahaha, big brother always has good luck."

The Lion King also congratulated loudly.

According to the information known to the Lion King, the five great demon saints, Chitie, Jiuying, Qinyuan, Guiche and Feidan, had died in battle.

But after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what, the inheritance of these demon saints, such as the skills, magical powers, spells, magic weapons, body quenching pools, blood inheritance... are all incomparably rich resources for cultivation for the Bull Demon King.

What is more worth mentioning is that if Bull Demon King can inherit the legacy of the Demon Saint Chitie and show extraordinary potential, he may be able to become the "boss" of the Chitie lineage and become the real leader of the Bull.

Although the Bull Demon King was born from the ancient fierce beast, his family had long since declined. Although he was quite powerful, he had always lacked a strong background to support him. As a result, in the battle of Jilei Mountain, the Bull Demon King was besieged by the Buddha soldiers and the Heavenly Court, and was isolated and helpless. No big demon came out to rescue the Bull Demon King.

In sharp contrast to this are monsters such as the Jiao Demon King and the Nine-headed Insect.

Even if the Demon King Jiao caused a huge disaster, as long as Kunpeng was still there, the problem would not be too big.

The Nine-Headed Insect escaped with great pain and could have gone directly to the North Sea. Bajie wanted to chase him, but Sun Wukong saw this and hurriedly stopped him: "Don't chase him!"

This... is the importance of background.

"Good thing the pie fell from the sky again and hit the Bull Demon King."

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh.

The fates of different monsters are really incomparable.

"But brother, I'm afraid that your inheritance of the Iron Demon Saint's legacy will not be so smooth."

The Lion King has been in Uttarakuru for many years and obviously knows something about the Chitie lineage.

The Lion King continued:
"Although there is no direct bloodline of Demon Saint Chitie left in the world, there are still many branches."

"Although these side branches are not capable, they are narrow-minded and petty-minded. I'm afraid they will make things difficult for you in this matter."

"Brother, you are still an alien demon to the Chitie lineage. If you want to successfully inherit the legacy of the Demon Saint, you will probably encounter many obstacles."

"I'm just afraid..."

There was a hint of worry in the words of the Lion King.

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King stroked his thick beard, squinted his eyes, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that he was planning something.

After a moment of contemplation, the Bull Demon King laughed heartily, his voice as loud as a bell:

"It doesn't matter. I'll go to Chitie's place and see what happens. I'll just deal with his moves as they come."

"No matter what they are plotting behind the scenes, I, the Bull Demon King, will break it with my own strength."

"Brother, this trip will definitely be successful!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen also smiled and wished.

This is Bull Demon King’s own business, no one can help.

Although this task is difficult, Xiao Chen still believes that Bull Demon King will be able to solve it.

The Bull Demon King has been in the Three Realms for many years and has long since acquired the skills of a "jianghu bull". He is rough but meticulous and careful.

Xiao Chen has been with Bull Demon King for many years, so he naturally knows that Bull Demon King has never been a reckless man. Recklessness is just his appearance.

"After I, big brother, have settled down on the iron side."

"This Northern Continent, big brother will protect you."

The Bull Demon King stood up, patted the Lion King and the Golden Horned King on the shoulders, and spoke with great heroism.

"Okay, okay, let's have a banquet to celebrate Big Brother!"

The Lion King laughed and immediately ordered his little demons to prepare a banquet.

According to the tradition of the demon world, when a big event happens, a banquet must be held to celebrate.

After the banquet, the Bull Demon King did not stay for long. He rode on the water-avoiding golden crystal beast and set off to the Qingqiu Kingdom to pick up the Jade-faced Fox.

The Bull Demon King wanted to share this good news with the Jade-faced Fox, and at the same time prepare for the upcoming inheritance of the Demon Saint Chitie.

Xiao Chen had no important matters to attend to at the moment, and since the Lion King was so enthusiastic in inviting him to stay, he stayed in Lion's Roar Mountain for another day or two.

That night, the moon was bright in the sky.

The silver moonlight sprinkled on the majestic peak of Lion's Roar Mountain like mercury, making the mountain look poetic and picturesque.

The mountain breeze blows gently, the pine waves rustle, the moonlight is mottled between the treetops, and the stream in the mountain sparkles with starlight under the moonlight, like a silver ribbon slowly floating on the bluestone slabs.

The entire Lion's Roar Mountain is peaceful and beautiful, like a moving painting.

After having a drink with the Lion King, Xiao Chen, a little tipsy, returned to his bedroom to rest.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Chen was full of thoughts, thinking about his next plan.

Now that the Lion King’s help has been completed, he plans to find a suitable hilltop to serve as his foothold in Uttarakuru.

However, before that, he planned to go to the Demon Master Palace to meet with the Dragon Demon King.

"I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder how Mo Lang is doing now."

Xiao Chen whispered, his eyes gleaming with memories.

Xiao Chen recalled the days when he, the Monkey King, and the Dragon Demon King Mo Lang wandered around the world.

At that time, they walked the streets together, looking for immortals and asking for advice. Although life was hard and they were always driven away by others, the three demons depended on each other and spent many unforgettable times together.

However, ever since the battle at Mount Huaguo that year, when the Jiao Demon King was taken away by the demon master Kunpeng, the Jiao Demon King has been in Beijuluzhou and he is in Xiniuhezhou. The two demons, one in the north and the other in the west, have not seen each other for many years.

I haven't seen Mo Lang for many years. I really miss him.

"Demon Master Kunpeng..."

Xiao Chen pondered in his heart, this master of the Jiao Demon King, the master of all monsters in the ancient demon court, made him feel a little moved.

He Sanniang and I talked about the Jiao Demon King and the Demon Master Kunpeng. He Sanniang also had some yearning for the Demon Master Palace and wanted to become a disciple there.

"If I can meet Kunpeng during this trip to the Demon Master Palace..."

Xiao Chen was immersed in his own thoughts when he suddenly felt a slight breeze in the room, as if something had sneaked into his room.

Xiao Chen suddenly woke up and looked around. Although he didn't see any figure, his keen intuition told him that there was definitely one more person in the room.

"Who?"

Xiao Chen immediately shouted softly and activated the sound wave control skill of "Soul-Enchanting Jade Pipa" to test the man's position.

However, this time the control skill of the Enchanting Jade Pipa was ineffective.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, but his movements did not pause at all. The "Sea Covering Pearl" in his left hand trembled slightly, and water continued to flow out of it.

These water flows were wrapped around Xiao Chen's wrist like silk threads. Xiao Chen's magic power surged throughout his body and was injected into the water. He was about to release thousands of water arrows to force that person out.

At the same time, Xiao Chen activated the violent Great Sun Flame in the Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp, ready to launch an attack at any time.

A familiar voice sounded at the window:
"King Golden Horn, it's me."

As the voice fell, the space near the window fluctuated, and a faint green shadow emerged, eventually becoming solid, revealing the silhouette of a woman.

Xiao Chen's gaze swept across the soft and slender waist of the water snake, and finally met the pair of emerald green snake eyes for a moment.

The woman was wearing a long green dress, her eyebrows were as green as willow, her eyes were as green as autumn water, her lips were as red as sandalwood and as cherry-like as roses, and her hairpin was made of emerald. She was none other than Jiushou Qingyun.

"Jiu Shou Qing Jun, you..."

Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Why did this little green snake demon come to him in the middle of the night?
Snake demon, come to help him practice?

"Please forgive me for disturbing you, King Jinjiao."

Jiushou Qingjun bowed gently, with a hint of tenderness in her cold voice.

She behaved with moderation and kept a certain distance from Xiao Chen, but there was no sign of hostility in her.

"It seems that this Golden Horn King still has some hidden tricks in the previous competition and has not used all of them."

Jiushou Qingjun secretly glanced at Xiao Chen, and feeling Xiao Chen's current posture, he thought to himself.

"You're visiting me late at night. What's up?"

Xiao Chen asked directly.

This green snake demon stayed up late at night and came to find the Golden Horned King. To put it bluntly, it must be something shameful!

He had long felt that there might be something fishy about the two snake demon sisters, Fei Ni, and the Nine-headed Insect seizing the hilltop from the Lion King.

After all, these descendants of the Demon Saint may be in a bad state, but they are not without a place to live.

Although the mountain of the Lion King is nice, it is not that attractive. However, he asked the Lion King about this matter, but the Lion King knew nothing.

"We sisters have something to ask King Jinjiao for help."

Jiushou Qingjun spoke in a slightly cold tone.

"coming."

When Xiao Chen heard this, his mind moved, and he knew that what happened next was the key.

"Appreciate further details."

Xiao Chen looked calm and asked.

Jiushou Qingjun paused for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and then he began to explain:

"To be honest, it was not our intention for us sisters to seize the Lion King's mountain."

"We want to seize a treasure."

"This treasure is more important to our Jiuying lineage."

"baby?"

When Xiao Chen heard this, his heart moved, and his spirits immediately perked up, and his words became more emphasized.

He, the King of the Golden Horn, loves treasures the most!
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he steals the treasure or not. As long as the treasure has passed through his hands and he touches it, it’s fine.

Moreover, a treasure that even the great Taiyi demon is fighting for must be extremely valuable.

When Xiao Chen heard that there was a good treasure, his face immediately showed great interest and his attitude instantly became much more polite.

This... those who come to deliver treasures are all guests, so King Golden Horn naturally knows how to treat them.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and summoned an exquisite chair, which landed steadily in front of Jiushou Qingjun.

Then, he opened his mouth and spit out a set of exquisite tea sets, and then spit out a ball of demonic fire to heat it slightly.

In a short while, a fresh and elegant tea fragrance slowly diffused in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy. A pot of fragrant tea was brewed just like that.

"Please take a seat."

Xiao Chen gestured.

Seeing this, Jiushou Qingjun didn't bother to be polite and sat down calmly opposite Xiao Chen.

The two demons sat opposite each other, each holding up a teacup and taking a sip. The atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

"I wonder what treasure it is?"

Xiao Chen asked with some curiosity.

"I can't explain this baby in detail now."

Jiushou Qingjun shook his head slightly, obviously unwilling to reveal too much information.

"It's just that we sisters have been planning this for a long time. If we can get the help of King Jinjiao, we will definitely succeed!"

Jiushou Qingjun continued, with a hint of determination in his tone.

"What can I get?"

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and asked.

He, King Golden Horn, is not the kind of person who would help for no reason. There must be sufficient benefits.

"If it works."

"In the future, you will receive a favor from a demon saint."

Jiushou Qingjun spoke, his tone revealing an unquestionable certainty.

"A favor from a demon saint."

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this.

The five surviving demon saints, Bai Ze, Ying Zhao, Shang Yang, Ji Meng and Fei Lian, are all very powerful. If one can get a favor from one of them, it will undoubtedly be a great protection.

However, these nine Qingyun heads are obviously the descendants of the Demon Saint Jiuying. Can they represent the five demon saints?

Xiao Chen was a little skeptical about this, but when he saw Jiushou Qingjun's sure expression, he didn't think he was lying.

"I don't know which demon saint it is."

Xiao Chen couldn't judge, but he still asked.

"It's an urgent matter, so it's not a good time to speak now."

Jiu Shou Qing Yun was obviously holding back, but in order to win the help of King Jin Jiao and gain his trust, she said solemnly:

"I can swear to the heavens that this is not a lie."

"Since this is a treasure hunt, I wonder who our opponent will be?"

After Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, he continued to ask.

He, the King of Golden Horn, made a move once in exchange for a favor from the Demon Saint. No matter how you look at it, he made a profit.

However, the greater the return, the greater the risk.

There are many doubts in this matter. He has always been cautious in doing things, so he should find out the truth before making a decision.

"Our main opponents are Demon King Kun, Demon King Jiao, and Demon King Peng from the Demon Master Palace."

Nine-headed Qingjun spoke.

"The Demon Saint Yingzhao lineage may also try to stop us."

"As for the Demon Saint Shang Yang and the others..."

Jiushou Qingjun was obviously not sure about this, so he did not continue.

"The opponents include Demon King Kun, Demon King Jiao, and Demon King Peng from the Demon Master Palace?"

Xiao Chen was startled when he heard this, and opened his mouth to confirm again.

"Well, all three of them will definitely take action."

Jiushou Qingjun nodded in confirmation.

"In that case, let's just forget it."

"Jiushou Qingjun, I'm sorry."

After hearing this, Xiao Chen was silent for a while, then spoke.

A favor from a demon saint is certainly tempting, but there is no need to go against his own brother, the Dragon Demon King, for this.

Moreover, he also planned to find an opportunity to let the Scorpion Demon become a disciple of the Demon Master Palace, and now he would directly confront the people of the Demon Master Palace.

That would be a difficult matter to handle.

Moreover, he had just arrived in Uttarakuru and knew nothing about this matter. He had no idea what the relationships among these demon saints were. If he rashly intervened in this matter, it might only cause more trouble.

After weighing the two options, Xiao Chen directly chose to refuse.

"King Jinjiao, you..."

Jiushou Qingjun was also startled when he heard this.

She looked at the expression of the Golden Horn King. He seemed to be moved and was about to agree, but why did he suddenly refuse?

"Sorry, Jiushou Qingjun, please go back."

Xiao Chen refused directly.

This... treasure matter probably has a lot of hidden secrets, but Jiushou Qingjun and he have only met a few times, and they were opponents before, so naturally their relationship is not deep.

Jiushou Qingjun would not be honest with him about this matter, and it was not a wise choice for him to plunge into it without knowing the reason.

I had originally planned to go to the Demon Master Palace to look for the Jiao Demon King, so I decided to go directly to the Jiao Demon King to find out a little bit before making a decision.

"The Demon Master Palace, Demon King Kun, Demon King Jiao, Demon King Peng."

This was the first time that Xiao Chen heard the name of Demon King Peng directly.

The second of the Seven Great Sages of Mount Huaguo, "The Great Sage Jiao Demon King who Covers the Sea" is Kunpeng's apprentice.

Unexpectedly, the third brother, "The Great Sage Hun Tian Demon King", is actually related to the demon master Kunpeng.

Then this Demon King Kun...
