Rise Of Humanity Volume 1 Chapter 346

When Zhong Yue and the ladies arrived, the crowd s.h.i.+fted their eyes away from Sea King Sha Qishan to Mister Mo Luo, then Tian Mo Concubine and the other ladies. Some were envious of him, and some were jealous; some admired and others began itching for battle. The rest were simmering with immense killing intent.

After all, Mister Mo Luo had come out of nowhere, and in just days of times, he became one of the brightest young stars of the demon race. Some even considered him as the brightest star of the Eight Barren demon race. His existence had pushed down the others' fame and reputation; and inevitably, the experts were naturally unhappy with him.

Especially now that the Demon Saint had resurrected, his followers would undoubtedly harbor ill intent toward the sinner who s.n.a.t.c.hed away Demon Saint's imperial concubines from him.

Zhong Yue looked around, he was nonchalant against the demon experts and suddenly, his eyes stopped at a brawny sea race magnate. His heart skipped a beat, and Zhong Yue immediately knew who he was.

Sea King, Sha Qishan!

The Sea King, Sha Qishan smelled like fish and looked like a standing man-shark. Coupled with the monstrous air that he exuded, it wasn't hard for one to infer his ident.i.ty!

Why is Sha Qishan here? He has posted my and Long Yue's picture everywhere, looking for me even though we have never met before. So, the only source for him to know that Long Yue and I are the same person can only be from Feng Wuji!

Zhong Yue's eyes flashed, he looked at the demon Qi Pract.i.tioner beside Sha Qishan and whispered a question in Tian Mo Concubine's ears, "Who is he?"

"Shura, Xiu Hongsu!"

Tian Mo Concubine replied, "The former rank one of the Inner Core Qi Pract.i.tioner. After Yan Luomo condensed the inner core, he was Yan Luomo's biggest opponent. However, Yan Luomo is now possessed by Demon Saint, and so, Xiu Hongsu is now ranked second!"

"Shura, Xiu Hongsu?"

Zhong Yue shook his head and thought, That can't be Feng Wuji's demon incarnation. After all, Elder Pu had just died, and even if he had cultivated another demon incarnation, he would be a young and talented rising star like myself. Unless … he possessed Xiu Hongsu. But Feng Wuji can't possibly come to the Eight Barren demon race, and even so, possession would be impossible. However, Feng Wuji must have contacted Sha Qishan before! If Xiu Hongsu isn't his incarnation, then who can it be….

Feng Wuji's demon incarnation was Elder Pu, cultivating the demon cultivation technique and was killed by Jun Sixie's zither sounds. The【Mystic Duplication Technique】could cultivate three incarnations, even if the every one of them was destroyed, so long as the true self remained, another incarnation could always be created.

Feng Wuji was now the high priest of Xiao Mang Celestial Race, he controlled the whole race and held all of its resources in his hands; if he ever desired to cultivate another demon incarnation, it wouldn't be at all difficult for him to do so, considering all the resources available to him.

However, the time was too short. Even if he had done so, his new demon incarnation wouldn't even be able to reach the level as the same as Elder Pu. At most, he would only be at the Atman Body or Inner Core level, no higher.

Xiu Hongsu was a cultivator who had been famous for quite some time; if Feng Wuji intended to possess the young Shura expert into his new demon incarnation, he would have to arrive at the demon land himself to do so. And clearly, that was something Feng Wuji didn't have the time to do.

The death of the late high priest and the four magnates of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race was a huge blow to the whole Xiao Mang Celestial Race. Feng Wuji had to stay behind to stabilize the situation there before he would be able to slowly gain full control over it.

All of a sudden, Sha Qishan nodded softly, and a Shura Qi Pract.i.tioner beside Xiu Hongsu stepped forward with two portraits in his hands. He walked through each Qi Pract.i.tioner to let him have a look at them, and it came as no surprise to Zhong Yue to see that the two portraits were of Long Yue and himself.

Zhong Yue saw the young demon, and something in his mind snapped. He asked Tian Mo Concubine, "Who … is he?"

Tian Mo Concubine looked at the Shura Qi Pract.i.tioner and shook her head. She answered puzzlingly, "I've never seen him before, could he be a new rising star of the Shura Saint Clan?"

Zhong Yue then looked over at Ji Xiang Concubine, and the latter also shook her head, saying, "Neither have I."

That Shura held the pictures as he walked past Zhong Yue and the ladies. Suddenly, he stopped right before them, and his jet-black eyes stared at Zhong Yue. He looked back at the pictures and suddenly said, "Mister Mo Luo, I've heard the after the Zhong Shan Clan member has left Swords Gate, some sea race disciples saw him appearing at the Eastern Sea. They followed behind Tian Mo Concubine and entered the demon land together. Could it be that Mister Mo Luo, who's just risen high after the one from the Zhong Shan Clan disappeared into the demon land, be that Zhong Shan Clan member himself?"

A thick and heavy wave of monster aura suddenly burst out around Sha Qishan, and lightning flashed out from his eyes as he glared over at Zhong Yue. Even his gaze alone was so intense that Zhong Yue felt as if two mountains were ramming into his chest, even needing to take a few steps back to withstand the force.

"I've heard that Zhong Shan Clan and Long Yue are the same person. Now, Long Yue has appeared in the East Barren and challenged Zhong Yue."

Zhong Yue smiled and said leisurely, "But how can one be at two places at a time? If the Sea King is looking for the Zhong Shan Clan member, may I suggest you head over to the monster race?"

Sha Qishan nodded lightly, and he then s.h.i.+fted his eyes away.

But the young Shura remained steadfast and continued asking, "May I ask of Mister Mo Luo's origin? You've come out of nowhere, and although you've claimed to come from the Mo Luo Race, never once have I heard of such a race. I've asked many Shura elders, and to my surprise, none of them knew about it either. I can't help but ask of your name, your teacher, your heritage, your race, and your origin. Please, may the Mister Mo Luo explain it to us or otherwise, Sea King might feel a little … troubled."

Zhong Yue's eyes flashed with a cold light as he rebuked, "Who are you to question me? How audacious!"

The young Shura smiled and said, "I'm just a humble servant of the Sea King, and my name is nothing important at all. What matters is that, as a servant of the great Sea King, I'm more than qualified to question you. Am I not?"

The Sea King Sha Qishan looked over at Zhong Yue again, and his appalling aura burst out again. He said in a solemn and deep voice, "Little child, answer my servant's question!"

Zhong Yue sneered coldly and answered, "Sea King, this is not the Eastern Sea, I suggest you keep a low profile and avoid offending someone you can't afford to displease. Otherwise, you will bring about considerable troubles for yourself, especially if you have drawn my teacher's ire. You might be killed just like any other bugs in this world."

Sea King Sha Qishan smirked and said, "Who is your teacher? Ask him to come out then. Let's see if he dares to go against me!"

HIs aura was so intense that the surrounding experts nearly suffocated when suppressed by him. Thoughts flowed through Zhong Yue's mind, and he then said placidly, "My teacher's name can scare quite a bit. The demon race's Eight Barrens is not a place you can do as you please. Are you sure you want to see my teacher? I will grant you your wish, but after that, you will have to offer yourself as an oblation to him."

Sha Qishan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, Could this kid be taught by a demon G.o.d? If he is really the disciple of a demon G.o.d, then things can go sideways….

In the demon land Eight Barren, there was a rumor about the existence of a demon G.o.d, although no one had ever confirmed it, it was still a rumor that no one dared to dismiss. After all, the demon race had a long history; it was impossible for one to discount any rumor definitively.

But Sha Qishan was now on the edge of a cliff, if he turned back now, the world would shame him with their mouths, and if he insisted on seeing Mister Mo Luo's teacher, then he would die a terrible death if what Zhong Yue was implying were to be true!

I'm only searching for that kid for the Kun Peng Celestial Race. There is no need for me to put my life in for this, is there? He thought in his heart.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere turned dead silent, one aura after another surged into the hall, and the sounds of footsteps could be heard stomping on the ground — five tall and slender old men slowly walked up to the highest floor of the Heavenly Scent Inn.

"Old sc.u.ms of the dragon race that never give up!"

Sha Qishan seized the chance to put Zhong Yue aside, and his face turned even more ferocious. He smirked frigidly and said dreadfully, "Dragon Race five elders, you've hunted for me with the divine weapons for so long. And yet, you still couldn't kill me. Do you five ever find yourselves annoying?"

The five elders of the dragon race remained unmoved, one of them then said placidly, "We will only return after you are killed. Otherwise, we will be hunting you wherever you go. Sinner of the dragon race, return with us to the dragon race and accept your punishment!"

Sha Qishan smirked coldly, just as he was about to take action, a voice suddenly laughed in their ears, "Sea King, five elders, this is a sacred land of the demon race. Please keep calm and avoid causing too much trouble."

A powerful aura shook the whole Black Well Keep, and demonic air suffused the sky. The demon magnates appeared inside the Heavenly Scent Inn, one from each of the eight saint clans.

The faces of the five elders changed drastically, and a few moments later, they sat down in the chairs and remained steadfast.

The eight saint clans' magnates also sat down, and they said smilingly, "Sea King and the five elders, we are here to witness the battle between the younger generations against Demon Saint. There is no need for us to also engage in a fight, else, the young ones might laugh at us."

Although Sea King Sha Qishan and the eight saint clans were in decent terms, it was only because of the shared hatred they had towards the dragon race. The demon race intended to stir some troubles to the dragon race and that was why Sha Qishan was granted certain liberties in his actions. However, if the magnates of the eight saint clans said to stop the fight, then not even Sha Qishan would dare to act rashly.

The young demon cultivator from the Shura Saint Clan looked at Zhong Yue again and said smilingly, "May Mister Mo Luo, please tell us of your origins."

Zhong Yue shook his head, and he said, "What are you? A coward who doesn't even tell his name, how dare you question me? Tell me your name, and I shall a.s.sess your qualification to question me."

The young demon cultivator remained placid, he stepped back and said with a smile, "My name is very simple, Shura. However, if I have no such qualification, then I shall ask for another one to ask the questions. Senior Martial Brother Hongsu, please."

Xiu Hongsu stepped forward, and he said with obvious killing intent, "Mo Luo, can you answer now?"

Zhong Yue shook his head and said presumptuously, "You aren't qualified to question me. Qi Pract.i.tioners like you, I can kill three at once with just a slap."

Tian Mo Concubine was deeply worried; she was the only one that knew of Zhong Yue's origin; although he had changed his appearance, the blood that flowed in him was still that of a human's. Even a superficial investigation would result in his ident.i.ty being exposed!

Furthermore, Zhong Yue used the name of Mister Mo Luo, a demon cultivator that rose out of thin air. This was more than enough to raise about doubts and suspicions. This young Shura had struck at Zhong Yue's greatest vulnerability!

Just exactly who is this young Shura? It is a big taboo for a disciple of the Shura Saint Clan to itself be named Shura. Also, why is he so confident that Mister Mo Luo is Zhong Yue? She was puzzled and quickly, she summoned a Raksha lady and instructed the latter to investigate this young Shura.

Xiu Hongsu's placid voice was laden with a thick and heavy killing intent, "Some sea race disciples saw the Zhong Shan Clan member heading toward the demon land. So … if Mister Mo Luo fails to prove your ident.i.ty, then we shall find the truth from your dead body!"

Zhong Yue ignored him and looked at Shura again.

Feng Wuji was a man that was even more dangerous than the previous high priest, a series of plots executed had catapulted him to the position of the high priest. The death of the late high priest and the four Xiao Mang magnates that died in Swords Gate were all a direct result of his machinations. He even nearly succeeded in stealing the Saint Spirit from the Swords Gate underground.

His guile was peerless, and everyone seemed to be puppets under his strings. If it weren't for Zhong Yue having seen through his demon incarnation, Elder Pu, his plan would have succeeded without a hitch!

This was why Zhong Yue was taking every precaution against him, and also why Feng Wuji was doing the same for Zhong Yue.

Will Feng Wuji's new demon incarnation be this young demon called Shura?

Xiu Hongsu's killing intent got heavier, and he was on the verge of taken action when suddenly, a soft and tender voice resonated through the hall. It was incredibly soothing to the ear, "If Xiu Hongsu isn't qualified, then how about me?"

Tian Mo Concubine and Ji Xiang Concubine's beautiful countenance drastically changed, and so did that of the twenty-some court ladies.

"Demon Queen!" One of the court ladies said in terror.

"Demon Queen? The first lady?"

Zhong Yue laughed out loud, and he looked toward the stairs and said, "The Demon Queen herself has opened her mouth, how can I not listen to her words? Come quickly, come into my arms and inspect my full body!"

"Presumptuous!"

The ladies' chiding voices could be heard, and a split second later, all the eyes of the Qi Pract.i.tioners present lit up as a G.o.ddess surrounded by an entourage of beauties entered the hall.

The G.o.ddess was incredibly beautiful, but that wasn't all, she commanded the air of an empress that was impossible to ignore. Not even Tian Mo Concubine and Ji Xiang Concubine were not as stunning as her, whether it be in beauty or temperament.

The Demon Queen looked over at Zhong Yue and said with a smile, "Mister, you must be joking. May I ask who the one backing you is?"

Just as Zhong Yue was going to say a random name, Xin Huo suddenly exclaimed merrily in his psyche ocean, "I remember! The innate demon G.o.d that was killed by the previous inheritor is called Bo Xun!"

Zhong Yue's heart thumped, he then answered smilingly, "My name is Mo Luo, and he is known as Bo Xun."

As he spoke, the whole Black Well Keep shuddered violently. The mountains seemed to roar, and the earth seemed to quake. Even the black spring waters flowing erupted into a torrential stream that was hundreds of times stronger than before. It felt like as if the world was trembling before the wrath of a heavenly G.o.d!

Sha Qishan became engulfed in fear, and he receded deeper into the chair.

Zhong Yue was shocked and overjoyed in his heart, but he remained placid ostensibly and said, "Who wants to see him? I can ask him to come out if that is what you wish for."
