#154 - Mythical Beast Demon King
The next morning.
Chu Xianping's side had already begun to handle the aftermath, while Wei Changtian took Yang Liushi in a carriage straight to the Shiwan Mountains.
His trip was to meet the famous demon king, rumored to have eight hundred years of cultivation.
Wei Changtian would have preferred to wait until Ning Yuke's matter was settled before making this trip, but Yang Liushi had previously set a time with the demon king, and he couldn't possibly stand up such a great demon.
"By the way, what is your demon king's true form?"
Sitting in the slightly swaying carriage, Wei Changtian casually asked Yang Liushi, "Since the demon king's son imprisoned in the Xuanjing Division is a tiger, shouldn't it also be a tiger?"
"Hehe, you're wrong about that, Young Master."
Yang Liushi covered her mouth and smiled, "Our demon king is transformed from a Green Bird."
"Green Bird??"
Wei Changtian was stunned, his first thought was of Naruto, and his second thought was of the mythical beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that delivered messages to the Queen Mother of the West.
But none of this mattered, after all, it was just a name, and it was possible that there was a type of bird in this world called a Green Bird.
The key was... how could a bird give birth to a tiger??
Was reproductive isolation just for show?
Good heavens, modern biological science was once again dealt a heavy blow.
In the original novel, apart from Xiao Feng helping Yang Liushi rescue the demon king's son, there was no other writing about the demon race, so Wei Changtian could only ask Yang Liushi.
"Green Bird... it's a bird, right?"
"Yes."
Yang Liushi nodded, already guessing what Wei Changtian was wondering, and immediately explained with a smile, "Young Master, although the Green Bird is a bird, it is a spirit nurtured by heaven and earth, different from us."
"How is it different?"
"Well... the demon king came from the sky, not hatched from an egg, and is independent of the world..."
"Wait a minute, independent of the world? So, you're saying that your demon king is the only Green Bird in the world?"
"For example, the tiger demon Qiongqi, who is currently imprisoned in the Xuanjing Division's Demon Suppression Prison, is the eldest son of the Black Tiger clan on Wumeng Mountain."
??
Qiongqi has appeared, huh?
Wei Changtian suddenly thought of the relationship between the original setting and this world, smacked his lips, and didn't dwell on these details.
After thinking for a while, he asked Yang Liushi again.
"Then are you from the fox demon clan among them?"
"Yes, I am a junior of the White Fox clan on Qingqiu Mountain, and my brother is also the demon king's fifth son."
"Hahaha!"
Wei Changtian couldn't help but laugh and teased, "Then wouldn't that make you royalty?"
"Young Master, don't make fun of me~"
Yang Liushi said娇嗔, "The demon race lives in this small area of the Shiwan Mountains, and it's already not easy to survive, so where does the emperor and country come from."
"You can't say that, don't you still have a demon king?"
"Yes, but the demon king is actually different from the human emperor..."
Yang Liushi whispered to Wei Changtian about some details about the demon race, and the carriage sped along the official road, soon passing by Yanyun Mountain, where the ancient swordsman's cave was hidden.
The desolate Yanyun Mountain was still the same, with jagged rocks and yellow leaves dyed everywhere.
But Wei Changtian probably never imagined that at this moment, Xiao Feng was actually traveling through the mountains and forests, and seemed to be getting closer and closer to that cave.
"Hall Master, this time the Xuantian Society is probably going to..."
By a small stream, Xiao Feng was wiping the Xuantian Sword in his hand with clear spring water, while the man next to him looked haggard, and the clothes on his body were a little tattered.
They had been hiding in this Yanyun Mountain for three days, and it was nothing to eat and sleep in the open every day, but the key was that the state of anxiety was too difficult to endure.
Although he had escaped the imperial court's extermination of the Xuantian Society, but under the overturned nest, there were no intact eggs, and the big man was really worried about the future.
"Hall Master, if it really doesn't work, let's go back to Beijing..."
"Go back to Beijing? Where can we go back to Beijing?"
Xiao Feng stood up from the river and put the Xuantian Sword back into its scabbard.
"Brother Ren, you don't think that only the Xuantian Society in Shuzhou is in trouble this time, do you?"
"Ah? Hall Master, do you mean..."
"Assassinating a prince, since the imperial court has charged us with this crime..."
Xiao Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "Then it is estimated that it won't be long before the Xuantian Society will be completely wiped out from the Jianghu."
"..."
The big man's face was a little pale: "Then, then what should we do?"
"Alas, at this point, we can only take it one step at a time."
Xiao Feng sighed, but his thinking was still very clear: "We will hide in this Yanyun Mountain for a few more days, and when the wind outside has passed, we will return to Shuzhou City."
"I once helped the Qiao family with a favor before, and I believe they should be willing to find us a place to stay temporarily."
"Qiao family?"
The big man was stunned: "Is it the Qiao family that sells grain?"
"Yes."
Xiao Feng nodded, and while walking, explained: "The Qiao family's power in Shuzhou is not weak, and it should be able to protect us."
"As for whether to stay in Shuzhou or go to other places in the future, I will talk about it after I kill Wei Changtian."
"This little one will listen to the Hall Master's orders..."
"..."
The sound of conversation became smaller and smaller, and soon disappeared completely in this dense mountain forest.
But neither of them noticed that not far from where they had just rested, there was a cave hidden in the forest.
The cave was square, and there was a white stone in the shape of a long sword in front of the cave entrance.
【Ding~】
【Detected that the plot has changed】
【Reward system points: 200】
"????"
In the carriage, the sudden system prompt startled Wei Changtian.
At first, he thought he was hallucinating, but after repeatedly confirming that the system point balance had indeed changed from the previous 230 to 430, he realized it was real.
Wait, what did I do?
Where did these system points come from?
Wei Changtian was confused, and was both surprised and delighted to have inexplicably earned 200 points.
200 points, that's a big plot!
Subduing Chu Xianping before was 200 points, and killing Liu Yuanshan was only 300 points...
So what exactly happened??
Did Ning Yuke die?
No, Ning Yuke doesn't belong to the characters in the original book at all.
Did Xiao Feng die?
That's not right either, if Xiao Feng really died, it would probably reward at least a few thousand points.
Did Lu Jingyao die?
Hmm... there is a possibility, I will write a letter to ask after I go back.
Wei Changtian pondered for a while and couldn't figure out why, and when he looked up again, he realized that Yang Liushi was looking at him curiously.
"Young Master, what were you thinking about just now?"
Her voice was very small, and her tone seemed to be a little reproachful.
"Cough, it's nothing."
Wei Changtian shook his head, not affected by this sudden episode.
"Let's continue!"
"Oh."
"Clang clang clang~"
The speeding carriage shook violently.
Only one update today.
