Covering the Sky: Fishing for the Supreme Bone, making Ji Ziyue drool!

Chapter 185 I'm just a fisherman, what are you going to do about it?

"What a fat koi! It must weigh at least thirty pounds! If this were in my past life, I could brag about catching one for a year! Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've fished. The Azure Emperor's residence is quite a feng shui treasure land, a great place for fishing!"

Lin Chen walked gracefully to the side of the small lake.

A small stool and a fishing rod are the two inseparable items for a fisherman.

After the reshaping of the wheel sea, it has been placed in a special space within the physical wheel sea.

After being constantly washed by the sea of ​​suffering, even though they were just ordinary things in the past, they now reveal their extraordinary nature.

Intricate patterns appeared on the surface, almost forming Dao patterns, and even possessing a touch of spirituality.

If this continues, it might really transform into a spirit weapon.

"If it can become a celestial artifact in the future, the fishing rod might be able to catch the supreme being, and the small stool could even suppress an immortal to death!"

Sit on a small stool.

Lin Chen flicked his wrist lightly.

Plop.

The fishhook fell into the water.

It nearly hit a plump koi carp that was sunbathing in the lake.

"Where did this human come from? Don't you have eyes? You almost poked me!"

In the lake water, the koi carp actually made a clear, melodious female voice.

It was clearly a magical beast that had come to understand human nature.

"What if I stab you while I'm fishing?"

"Is that what you call fishing? It's clearly stabbing fish! And with that hook of yours, not only is there no food, but it's also straight. How can you possibly catch a ghost? Do you think I'm stupid?"

The big, fat koi swung its tail, splashing up a large spray of water.

A wisp of aura emanated from Lin Chen, causing the water droplets to freeze and then fall helplessly.

"Master!"

The big fat koi was shocked and quickly followed its companions to dive underwater.

Lin Chen naturally didn't care about a few minor demons at the Sea of ​​Wheels realm.

Humming a little tune, waiting for the real big fish to take the bait.

Deep in the mountains.

Inside a palace hidden inside the mountain.

Glowing gems and luminous pearls are inlaid on the walls, illuminating the place brightly.

Yan Ruyu sat in the main seat, her stunning beauty and graceful figure giving her an air of flawlessness, like the most perfect work of art from heaven.

"What happened? Why is almost half of the treasure in the vault missing? I think you guys mentioned the Tai Xuan Sect before. Have they discovered this place?"

Yan Ruyu asked.

"Your Highness, some time ago, the concealment formation malfunctioned and was discovered by several Tai Xuan Sect disciples passing by. Soon after, powerful figures from the Tai Xuan Sect came and forced us to offer tribute, threatening to slay demons and monsters if we didn't."

An elderly demon woman spoke respectfully.

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil? Ha, a bunch of hypocrites. In this cultivation world, what's the difference between humans and demons besides their race? They're just making excuses for their own profit. In this region, any human force that doesn't submit to them will also be labeled as evil. Slaying demons and eliminating evil? Utterly laughable."

Yan Ruyu's features were exquisite, with a fiery intensity yet also a hint of desolation.

How glorious was the lineage of the Azure Emperor in the past?

The Azure Emperor unified the demon races of the Eastern Wilderness, encompassing the four regions of Central Plains, Northern Plains, Western Desert, and Southern Ridge.

Even the great emperors of antiquity had to bow down and submit to their rule.

Even beyond the endless starry sky, there lies the Demon Emperor's boundless territory.

However, times have changed, and without the protection of ultimate weapons, the Azure Emperor lineage has suffered several great calamities over the past ten thousand years.

Now, it has fallen so low that it is oppressed by the major human sects and has no power to fight back.

"It is my fault that you have been harmed. Tell your people to make preparations and leave this place tomorrow. In the future... find a powerful demon to serve under."

Yan Ruyu sighed deeply, feeling somewhat guilty.

In the past, if they were discovered, they could simply flee.

However, the demons of the Azure Emperor's lineage did not do so, clearly unwilling to leave and wanting to wait for her return.

The Tai Xuan Sect clearly understood this, which is why they didn't directly "slay the demons and eliminate evil spirits," but instead made them offer tribute.

They were clearly treating these demons like livestock to be kept in captivity.

Thinking of all this, even with her cold and indifferent nature, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"To seek refuge with a powerful demon? But we are of the Azure Emperor lineage, doing so would be..."

"The glory of our ancestors is now a thing of the past. Even their tombs have been invaded by humans who are fighting over their treasures. The situation in the Eastern Wilderness is about to descend into chaos. Without a powerful figure to oversee it, my lineage may be completely wiped out from history."

"Your Highness's decisiveness is truly admirable. But I'm unsure which one to side with."

"The Peacock King".

"That lord? But this old servant has heard that Lord Peacock King is being hunted down by the Holy Lords of several major human forces, such as the Ji family and the Jiang family. I'm afraid he's too busy to even take care of himself?"

“You don’t understand. Eight hundred years ago, the Peacock King swept across the eight wastelands and had few rivals. Eight hundred years have passed, and no one knows how terrifying he is. Even if the imperial clan and the holy lord of the holy land join forces, they may not be able to do anything to him.”

Upon hearing this, all the demons gasped.

I only knew that the Peacock King was a noble and powerful demon, but I never imagined that he was so terrifying that His Highness would give him such a high evaluation.

If that's the case, then the strongest member of the Eastern Wilderness Demon Clan is most likely this person.

If one were to choose a powerful demon to serve, that would indeed be the best option.

"This old servant will go and convey His Highness's message immediately."

The old woman from the demon race withdrew from the main hall.

Yan Ruyu continued to discuss various matters with the other demons.

Suddenly, a scream came from outside the hall.

Then a figure flew backwards, it was the old demon woman who had left not long ago.

Yan Ruyu took a light step, the moonlight like water, and lifted the old woman up with her palm.

After examining her with his divine sense, he discovered that more than a dozen bones in her body were broken.

"Who dares to be so bold as to provoke the Azure Emperor lineage like this!"

A middle-aged, beautiful woman from the demon race asked in a deep voice.

"How dare you? I think you've got some nerve, daring to block the way of my Crow Peak. My Peak Master is kind-hearted and considers the hardships of cultivation for the demon race, which is why he allowed you to continue to reside here. But daring to block my path deserves a thousand deaths."

In an instant, a powerful aura pressed down from outside the main hall.

This intimidated all the demons present except Yan Ruyu.

Five figures then walked in from outside the main hall.

Three of them were elderly men with white hair.

There were also two young men, both handsome, but their brows revealed a sinister look.

These people have very similar auras, which are extremely sinister, indicating that they have cultivated the same kind of technique.

The one who just spoke was the oldest man in the group.

However, his aura was the strongest among the five, making Yan Ruyu feel a little uneasy and unable to see through his cultivation level.

At this moment, one of the young men among the five said, “Listen carefully, it is because of the Peak Master’s mercy that you have the right to continue living here. Otherwise, once the news of the demon race gathering here is spread, countless human cultivators will come to slay the demons and defend the righteous path. The reason you can still stand here is entirely because of the protection of my Raven Peak.”

"Enough, Senior Brother. Demons are just savage beasts; how could they understand the Peak Master's good intentions? Let's not waste time on such useless talk. I've come here for only one thing: have you prepared the tribute your clan will offer to Raven Peak?"

"The other of the two young men asked."

"What tribute? Didn't we just offer tribute three days ago?"

"That time I paid for a three-day quota. Now that the three days are up, I naturally have to pay for a new one today."

Chapter 186 The Peak Master of Crow Peak! Yan Ruyu is in trouble!

"What a joke! That's nearly half of our clan's treasure trove, how could it only last for three days?"

The demons were enraged.

Although the Azure Emperor lineage has declined, it has accumulated considerable wealth, surpassing many medium-sized sects.

Last time, nearly half of the treasure vault was emptied, and as a result, it only lasted for three days among these people.

It perfectly embodies the meaning of insatiable greed!
