Chapter 311: Pressure on the Xinghai Royal Family
The monsters that flew out of King Suanni's court looked at the scene in front of them with disbelief on their faces. Looking at the human cultivator who looked like a god or demon, the fear in their hearts was stronger than ever before.
In an instant, among these monsters, except for a few transformed monsters of the Suanni clan who were at a loss, the rest turned into a ray of light and fled silently.
Ye Changsheng did not chase after these people. He turned his gaze to look at King Suanni and said with a faint smile: "Why, fellow Taoist, do you have anything to say?"
"You... who are you?"
King Suanni asked with an extremely ugly expression. He still couldn't believe that he was defeated so easily. He felt like all this was just a dream.
However, he also realized that the human in front of him did not seem to have the intention of killing him, otherwise he would probably have lost his life by now.
"Who am I? Am I not just the human Nascent Soul that you guys have been hunting down?" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
"What exactly do you want?" King Suanni's expression gradually calmed down. He felt that he could negotiate terms with this human.
"I originally wanted to kill you, but considering that your Suanni clan has guarded this ten thousand foot deep sea abyss and prevented others from entering the ancient land of demons, you have made great contributions. I can spare your life, but you have to offer enough things to buy your life!" Ye Changsheng said bluntly.
From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of killing King Suanni, because the ancient land of the Demon Sealed Land still needed this clan to suppress it.
The lifespan of a level ten demon beast is much longer than that of a human cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, or even a Spirit Transformation stage.
This Suanni King is in his prime. With him guarding this place, it can at least be guaranteed that no human magic monks will break into the demon-sealed land.
If Ye Changsheng kills this person, it is still unknown whether new level ten monsters will be born in the outer sea in the future.
After all, level ten monsters are much harder to appear than humans in the late Nascent Soul stage. Over the past ten thousand years, there have only been a few level ten monsters in the entire Chaos Star Sea.
After hearing Ye Changsheng's words, King Suanni's expression did not improve. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, "What price do you want me to pay ?"
King Suanni would definitely be willing to save his life, but it depends on what conditions Ye Changsheng offers.
If it was a condition that he absolutely could not accept, he would rather die.
"First, take out all the treasures of your Suanni tribe. I want to take a part of them as compensation for your pursuit of me!"
"Secondly, I want the demon pill of the great elder Suanni who has already passed away!"
"Finally, you have to help me find out the whereabouts of the Golden Dragon King!"
"Just help me do these three things and I will spare your life!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
When he heard his first condition, King Suanni was still able to remain calm, but when he heard Ye Changsheng's second condition, he became furious.
He said directly and decisively: "This is impossible!"
Handing over the Great Elder's demon pill was a request that touched the bottom line of the Suanni clan, and he could not accept it.
This kind of demon pill is not something that can be given away casually. A level 10 demon pill, to some extent, is related to the rise and fall of their Suanni clan.
Every time a level 10 monster of the Suanni clan passed away, they would leave behind its monster pill, then select a descendant with strong enough bloodline power in the clan and transform the monster pill into its body using a secret method, to ensure that it could become a level 10 monster in the shortest possible time.
This is the secret of the Suanni clan being able to possess two level ten monsters for such a long time.
Without two level ten monsters, they would not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the monster clan.
It was in this way that King Suanni became the king of a clan at a young age. Now that Ye Changsheng wants to take a level ten demon pill, it is equivalent to cutting off the lineage of the Suanni clan.
Without this magic pill, it would take the Suanni clan many years to cultivate another level ten magic beast.
"Impossible? If this is impossible, then I, Ye, will have to take out your demon pill myself. Anyway, you are also a level ten demon beast, and the demon pill is enough for me!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
He had no intention of bargaining with King Suanni.
"If any of these three conditions is not met, your Suanni clan will disappear from this world forever!" Ye Changsheng had a warm smile on his face, but spoke cold and ruthless words.
Hearing this, King Suanni suppressed his anger and said, "You are violating the ancient agreement by doing this!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng looked at King Suanni with a strange look, smiled coldly, and asked, "You don't really think that the ancient agreement has binding force on people today, do you?"
"Let's not talk about whether I am a member of the Chaos Star Sea. Even if I am, do you think I would still care about the agreement made tens of thousands of years ago?" Ye Changsheng said with a disdainful tone.
King Suanni obviously has never heard of this saying: historical documents have no practical significance!
The world of cultivating immortals is a world where strength speaks louder than words. Any agreement can be maintained only if it is based on the equal strength of both parties.
If the strength is not equal, isn't it wishful thinking to expect a contract from ancient times to be followed by people today?
Of course, King Suanni also understood this principle.
After all, Ye Changsheng knew that in the original novel, these large tribes of monsters and beasts in the outer star sea were all planning to counterattack the inner star sea.
At that time, they didn't seem to care about the ancient contract.
If the demons in the Outer Sea were not fighting among themselves, they might have taken advantage of the weakening of the human race in the Inner Sea after the self-destruction of the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars to launch a counterattack.
Now he said this just to scare Ye Changsheng.
"You have no room for bargaining. Now I ask you, will you agree to my conditions or be killed by me?" Ye Changsheng asked indifferently.
Seeing the murderous intent gradually growing in his eyes, King Suanni's face turned pale and blue, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Very good, I hope you don't play any tricks, otherwise I might have to waste some time to kill all the Suanni here!" Ye Changsheng put away the Xutian Ding and said lightly.
"I also hope that you can keep your promise. After I finish those three things, don't cause trouble for our Suanni clan again!" said King Suanni.
"Haha, whether or not I want to cause trouble for the Suanni clan depends on whether I need it. If I ask you to do something in the future, would you dare to refuse?" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
"You..." King Suanni was immediately furious.
What does this mean? Do you think of these alien sea kings as subordinates that can be used at will?
"What? Do you have any objections?" Ye Changsheng's voice turned cold, his eyes fixed on King Suanni.
King Suanni's heart trembled. After the brief fight before, he knew very well that he was no match for the man in front of him.
This man's strength is probably already at the level of the God Transformation Realm, and the most incredible thing is that he is not yet limited by the God Transformation Realm's abilities.
You can't afford to offend this kind of person!
Although he was extremely angry, King Suanni's expression changed for a while before he managed to force a smile and said:
"You are joking, fellow Daoist. As long as you can use our Suanni clan in the future, we will definitely try our best to do it!"
Ye Changsheng nodded and said, "This is the correct attitude. Do what I tell you to do as soon as possible. If you can't find the Golden Dragon King, use your demon pill to make up for my loss!"
After saying that, he looked at the man coldly, then flew towards the direction of the Ancient Demon Sealing Land.
When his figure disappeared, King Suanni's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"How could such a person appear in the sea of stars? This is troublesome. I sent a tenth-level demon pill. Given the current situation of my clan, I am not sure that I can cultivate a descendant of the same level as me in the next one or two thousand years!"
"In this way, the royal position of this star sea will be unstable!" King Suanni thought with an extremely gloomy expression.
However, after a moment, his expression relaxed a little, and he thought: "This person asked me to find the whereabouts of the Golden Dragon King. Could it be that he wants the Golden Dragon King's demon pill?"
"If this is true, it would be a good thing for our clan. If the Golden Dragon King dies, the Dragon Clan will not be able to challenge our clan's status in the next few thousand years!"
"If that's the case, then we have to mobilize all our forces immediately to help him find the Golden Dragon King as soon as possible!"
King Suanni had a gloomy face. After thinking for a while, he turned around and walked towards his stunned fellow tribesmen.
After a series of cold-faced orders, the court of King Suanni immediately became lively. All the tribesmen hurriedly moved, either to move treasures or to look for the Golden Dragon King.
After leaving the Suanni King's Court, Ye Changsheng flew all the way to the place where demons were sealed.
As soon as he stepped into the invisible demon-sealing restriction, a white light flashed in front of him, and Elder Xing, who looked like an immortal, walked out.
The originally smiling expression suddenly changed into one of extreme horror after his spiritual sense swept over Ye Changsheng.
"Brother Ye, you...you..." He pointed at Ye Changsheng, his eyes full of disbelief, and was speechless for a moment.
"What's the matter, Elder Xing doesn't recognize me?" Ye Changsheng smiled faintly and walked forward.
Elder Xing opened his mouth wide, stunned in astonishment for a long time before he reacted.
He sighed, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother Ye, you are getting scarier every time. I am really curious, how do you practice?"
"I'm just luckier!" Ye Changsheng said with a laugh.
Elder Xing shook his head like a rattle when he heard this: "This is not something that can be achieved by luck. Brother Ye, maybe you have some special physique that is rarely seen in tens of thousands of years. You are born to be suitable for cultivation. Otherwise, you would never be able to become a late-stage cultivator at this age!"
"Who knows? Maybe it's just as fellow Taoist said!" Ye Changsheng said without comment.
"Brother Ye, please come in. You are here this time to repair the demon-sealing formation, right?" Elder Xing suppressed his surprise and invited Ye Changsheng into the small world.
"Yes, I have always remembered the agreement I made with my fellow Taoist. Now that I have just broken through to the late stage, I have come to keep the appointment!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Ye is indeed a trustworthy person. I knew I was right about you. Come on, taste the spiritual tea that I planted here first!"
Elder Xing showed a look of joy on his face. He pulled Ye Changsheng to sit in the pavilion, poured him some fragrant tea, and the two of them started to drink it.
After a moment, Elder Xing sighed and said, "I have been guarding this place for hundreds of years, and I can finally leave!"
"Well, does it mean that if I repair the sealing formation here, fellow Daoist can return to the Chaos Star Sea?" Ye Changsheng asked.
Elder Xing's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Yes, because of the problem of the seal being broken here, we in Xing Palace have always chosen someone with the strongest strength in the palace to guard it!"
"My strength is not bad, so I was sent here by the two palace masters to guard here for hundreds of years!"
“Once the seal is repaired, even if someone breaks in here, they won’t be able to break the restriction easily. This will naturally lower the alert level, and I will be free!” Elder Xing said with an extremely excited look.
"Oh, then I wonder what your ranking is among the elders of the Star Palace?" Ye Changsheng touched his chin and asked curiously.
"Before coming here to guard, I was the fourth elder. So many years have passed, and my status has not changed. But I think, with my current strength, I should be ranked second at least!" Elder Xing stroked his beard and said confidently.
"Oh, that's a coincidence. I, Ye, happen to be above you, the great elder!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile on his face.
"What?!" Elder Xing was extremely surprised when he heard this.
The position of the Grand Elder is so important, how can it be given to others easily?
However, after carefully looking at Ye Changsheng for a moment, a hint of enlightenment suddenly appeared on his face, and he laughed twice and said:
"Then it seems that Xing must congratulate Brother Ye and Yuling on their happy marriage!"
Elder Xing immediately understood that only if Ye Changsheng and Ling Yulin formed a Taoist couple and became the next master of the Star Sea, would the two saints give him the position of the great elder.
Otherwise, the Twin Saints would never have made such an arrangement.
"I would also like to thank Brother Xing for his matchmaking!" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile.
"Haha, I just said a few words casually. If Brother Ye didn't have such an outstanding talent, it would be useless for me to say more!"
Elder Xing smiled and said, "That's great, haha, great! Xing is really looking forward to the day when I can call Brother Ye the Palace Master!"
"Then I'll have to rely on Brother Xing's help!" Ye Changsheng said with a gleam in his eyes.
"Haha, no problem!"
After the two talked for a while, Ye Changsheng followed the excited Elder Xing into the seal.
He took the various formation plates and flags given to him by the Twin Saints of Tianxing and buried them in some specific locations to repair and perfect the formation that sealed the ancient demon.
