Danzun War God

Chapter 51 Beast King

Just as everyone gave up resistance and prepared to die, a powerful pressure appeared, and the group instantly felt difficulty breathing. Han Qi discovered that a barrier of profound energy had appeared in front of them. All the profound energy swords that struck the barrier instantly vanished, completely absorbed by the barrier.

Who saved them? Han Qi quickly searched his surroundings and saw a figure appear, blocking their way. It was the white-faced ape. The white-faced ape squeaked at the giant python and pointed into the distance. Following the direction of the white-faced ape's finger, the group discovered a floating, multicolored stone. The stone was surrounded by spiritual light and was about the size of a fist, but the multicolored light around it was half a meter in size.

Everyone stared at the multicolored stone, wondering what it meant. Then they saw the golden python quickly withdraw its murderous aura and obediently come to the stone's vicinity. The white-faced ape also withdrew its oppressive aura.

Without the oppressive aura, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear a voice say, "I am the Beast King here. I intended to send the Golden Python to make you back down, but I didn't expect to encounter the Demon-Slaying Weapon, which has significantly reduced the Golden Python's cultivation."

It was only then that Han Qi noticed that the speaking stone was actually the multicolored stone. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Qin Wuyang say, "I never expected that the famous Beast King is actually a stone. This stone must be the Refining Heaven Stone." As he spoke, Qin Wuyang looked at the Refining Heaven Stone greedily.

The Beast King laughed and continued, "You're right. My primordial spirit is inside this Refining Heaven Stone. Don't even think about taking it, or you'll suffer unbearable pain."

Han Qi put away his demon-slaying weapon as a gesture of goodwill, and then said, "Senior Beast King, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it?"

The Beast King said, enunciating each word clearly, "You really need to be careful. Just because I'm not killing you now doesn't mean we won't kill you. If you ask anything you shouldn't, I'll make you disappear immediately."

Han Qi thought for a moment and said, "I wonder what purpose these monsters you've raised here for? In other words, what is your goal?"

At this moment, the golden python said impatiently, "Beast King, stop arguing with them. Let me just get rid of them directly, so they won't take advantage of the situation." Because of the injury caused by Han Qi, the golden python harbored a grudge against Han Qi and wanted to use the Beast King to get rid of him, so it was somewhat impatient.

The Beast King said calmly, "Even if they die, they should die knowing why. It's alright, I've seen everyone here, they pose no threat to us."

He then continued, "My original goal was to wipe out the Demon Realm to avenge my death, but after so many years, I no longer want revenge. I just want to play with you little minions and live out my days in peace."

Just as Han Qi was about to continue speaking, he heard the Beast King's whispered voice: "Who are you, kid? You have a demon-slaying weapon in your hand, and you even have the aura of my good brother on you. Someone from the Heavenly Wolf Clan has actually pledged allegiance to you. What is your purpose in coming here? Are you here to wipe out the Demon Clan?"

Han Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, but then realized from the words that the Beast King and the Sky Wolf Clan had a close relationship and were probably friends rather than enemies. He immediately sent a secret message back: "Senior has good eyesight. I am indeed from the human realm. Now the Demon Realm and the Underworld are joining forces to invade our human realm. I have come here to retrieve something to stop them."

The Beast King continued, "This is a big matter. You can take me out; perhaps I can help you."

"How can I take you out with so many people watching?" Han Qi asked quickly.

The Beast King was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't have any good ideas either. We'll just have to play it by ear. Another group of people is coming, and it looks like a fight is about to break out. Take care of yourself, and I'll contact you if necessary."

Qin Wuyang put Tang Siyu down and looked at Han Qi's changing expression, somewhat puzzled. No one spoke for a long time, just staring blankly.

He then said, "Han Qi, what's wrong with you? What are you spacing out about again? Hurry up and think of a solution. What should we do next? We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Just then, the surrounding fog dissipated considerably, and dozens of figures could be vaguely seen rushing towards them in the distance. One of them called out, "Junior Sister Siyu, Junior Sister Siyu, are you alright?"

The newcomers were none other than the Demon Shadows and their group, along with the Five Monsters of Copper Demon Mountain and other new disciples. Upon seeing the two inhuman corpses on the ground, Demon Shadow hurriedly ran to Tang Siyu, who was lying on the ground. She was swollen all over, and if it weren't for her unchanged clothes, she would have been completely unrecognizable.

With a sob in his voice, the demonic figure cried out, "Junior Sister Siyu, what happened to you? My master entrusted you to me, and I failed to protect you properly. But don't worry, your senior brothers will definitely avenge you and find a way to save you. You absolutely cannot be harmed!"

As he spoke, his eyes instantly blazed with fury, and he shouted to the crowd, "Junior brothers, you've all seen how they've harmed Junior Sister Siyu. We must avenge her!"

The group was furious and drew their weapons, ready for battle. Suddenly, the white-faced ape leaped up and soared into the sky, letting out a long roar that echoed through the valley.

Qin Wuyang said softly to Han Qi, "The white-faced ape is calling for reinforcements; the real trouble is yet to come."

As soon as Qin Wuyang finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet trembled, the surrounding mist began to dissipate, and then countless demonic beasts appeared from all sides, surrounding the group in the middle.

The Shadow Clan panicked. Having lived here for over a decade, they had never seen so many monsters. Let alone so many monsters, the golden python and white-faced ape before them alone would be enough to overwhelm them. Their arrogance vanished instantly.

The five monsters of Copper Demon Mountain, who had been scheming all along, were now stunned. They never expected that there would be so many monsters in Hundred Beast Valley, and most of them were of the third rank or higher. At this moment, they no longer dared to have any thoughts of seizing the Refining Heaven Stone.

At this moment, the Beast King slowly spoke, "What's wrong? Are you scared? Who was it that was shouting about revenge?"

No one in the crowd responded; they all stared timidly at the colorful stones before them.

Seeing that no one spoke, the Beast King continued, "If we're talking about revenge, the one who should take revenge the most is me. I was killed here by your Demon Lord back then. If it weren't for the half of the Heaven-Refining Stone from the Cliff Master of Qingfeng Cliff, I probably wouldn't even have my last primordial spirit left. Also, shouldn't you take revenge for the massacre of my clan while I was in seclusion?"

His words were concise and to the point, leaving no room for argument, fully demonstrating the Beast King's confidence.

Seeing the situation, the golden python quickly said, "Beast King, give the order! Let us get rid of these people and let the brothers have a good meal."

A few words made the surrounding monsters eager to try, and many of them began to drool.

The Beast King ignored the golden python and said indifferently, "I only ask for one promise from you: never set foot in the Valley of a Hundred Beasts again. Otherwise, none of you will leave. You'd better do what you want."

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. The demonic figure immediately spoke up, saying, "We can only convey our message to our Palace Master; the final decision rests with him."

The others nodded in agreement with the Shadow Demon's statement.

"Alright, let them both stay. You all go and come back to us as soon as possible." As soon as the Beast King finished speaking, the white-faced ape instantly took Han Qi and Tang Siyu away.

The Shadow Demon had no choice but to agree and then led the group away. Countless monsters behind them kept a certain distance until the group had completely left the Valley of Beasts.

At the exit of the Valley of Beasts, a group of people were waiting. It was the Second and Third Lords of the Divine Demon Palace who had received news of the Beast King's early appearance and were here to meet everyone. They quickly surrounded the group when they saw people coming out.

The Shadow Demon hurriedly informed the two Palace Masters of what had happened in the Valley of Beasts.

The Third Palace Master, Hua Wuxie, said with a leisurely expression, "Everything else is fine, but Siyu is injured and her fate is unknown. She has also been captured by the Beast King. How are we going to explain this to the First Palace Master? The First Palace Master only has this one precious daughter."

Second Hall Master Jiang Batian said with a disdainful look, "I disagreed with the decision to hunt the Beast King from the beginning, but the First Hall Master insisted on making this decision. Now he has lost more than he gained, and he can't blame anyone else."

Elder Blue Demon stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Second Palace Master and Third Palace Master, how should this test be calculated? We would appreciate your suggestions."

Second Palace Master Jiang Batian said coldly, "Let Third Brother decide. He has always been in charge of recruiting new members."

Hua Wuxie frowned and said, "Elder Lanmo, let them all pass the first test. Just make the second test a little more difficult. After all, the first test is to examine their comprehensive abilities, while the second test is the final test for the new disciples."

Elder Blue Demon then accepted the order and withdrew to attend to the new recruits as they prepared for the second test.

Hua Wuxie said to Jiang Batian, "Let's go back first and see what our elder brother thinks about this matter?"

Jiang Batian snorted coldly, then got up and flew up the mountain, with the rest of the group following closely behind.

Meanwhile, in the Valley of a Hundred Beasts, Tang Siyu had already woken up. The swelling all over her body had subsided, but she was still quite weak. She was leaning on Han Qi's shoulder, listening to the colorful stones in front of her talking.

"Miss Tang, the poison in your body cannot be cured here. This poison is the ultimate technique of the Golden Python, called Bone-Eating Poison. It will flare up once a month. Each time, it will feel like countless insects are gnawing at your bones. I have personally witnessed many people who could not bear the pain of this poison and have collapsed and committed suicide. There is no cure for this poison now. If you want to cure it, you have to use your internal strength in combination with some pills to quickly force the poison out of your body after the poison flares up seven times. This is your only chance."

After listening to the Beast King's words, Tang Siyu smiled helplessly and said, "Why did you tell me all this? Why didn't you let me die from the poison? How could you believe that I could endure this excruciating pain?"
