So I Am A Demon Descendent! Chapter 326

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Senior staff left one after another, and the large conference hall was suddenly empty. Taking advantage of this short gap with no one around, Lightning King kneaded his temple and said, “Master Li, I can't do this without being honest with them. Later, if there is something too radical in their speech, please be tolerant.”

 Great-Grandma nodded. “I know, the big picture is more important.”

 Ape G.o.d and other people couldn't help but look at her. Though she said that, it was clear that the Unparalleled War Spirit was fully pumped up just like a cheetah charging up. Obviously she was planning to fight once it turns out that they are unhappy.

 Lightning King quietly gazed at Li Xianyu to hint at him to try to pacify his Great-Grandma but found that he was lowering his head and did not see his gaze. What happened to these two?

 Li Xianyu's heart was in a mess. His grandmother just threw herself into his arms last night, and cried out, “Don't die, don't die…”

 And this morning, the Great Deities Palace opened. He had to have some negative a.s.sociations. Is it because my Great-Grandma lied to the big families and I died because of that?

 He couldn't help but look at Great-Grandma. Great-Grandma had a calm face and seemed ready to take the lead and charge, like the ancient general Zhao Zilong. She probably thought of it, too.

 Li Xianyu cleared his throat and said, “Lightning King, we will cooperate with the company and try to mediate with the families. We would try not to use force first, not to embarra.s.s the company. ”

 But everyone knew that it was hard to let the major forces give up. Lightning King probed. “What if you can't mediate successfully?”

 “Then we will beat them until they agree,” Great-Grandma said. She was not afraid of all the forces in the demon descendant community. If it was not for Li Wuxiang's strong insistence not to let her in, even if Li Wuxiang could not escape death in the end, she would have killed half of the demon descendant community just like how Demonic Priest did.

 The heir of this generation was far from the strength of Li Wuxiang, but he was also a top-tiered S-cla.s.s and mastered the self-healing ability. Although his raw strength was not enough, his endurance in fighting was much better than his father. It was enough for her to kill thousands of enemies while protecting him. Also, Li Xianyu had the advantage that Li Wuxiang did not have: more teammates.

 The few women around him were a very powerful force. The most important thing was that he had an entire organization behind him. The Baoze Group now was far more reliable than the Taoist and Buddhist a.s.sociations.

 Although Buddha Head was Li Wuxiang's master, many Buddhists coveted Li Wuxiang's treasure at the beginning. Buddha Head was the leader of Buddhism, but ultimately he was just the leader of the Lianghua Temple.

 In the face of the treasures of the Great Deities Palace that made the whole demon descendant community crazy, even if the Buddha Head had supported Li Wuxiang and didn't let the Buddhists partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, there would be no doubt that some obeyed his orders only on the surface. Could he possibly kill all his Buddhist followers who disobeyed his orders?

 The door of the conference room opened again. This time, it was not the secretary who came in, but the secretary's a.s.sistant, a pretty girl dressed in civilian clothes. She seemed to have run all the way and was a little out of breath. When she opened the door, she went straight to the topic. “Lightning King, the Sakurai family is here.”

 The Sakurai family got on the hype train with their tickets.

 Lightning King lightly said, “Let them come in together.”

 A moment later, the female secretary of Lord Thunder opened the door of the conference room, and she was followed by a lot of big shots of the demon descendants: Shen Meng, the seven family leaders that Li Xianyu had met at the Taoist Conference, and Taoist and Buddhist temple leaders. Moreover, there were the representatives of the a.s.sociations for non-affiliated demon descendants and the heads of some second-tier families.

 It could only be said that the attraction of the Great Deities Palace was strong. The notice was only sent out four hours ago, and yet there were already so many people gathered. It was estimated that there were still many big shots on their way.

 In the surging crowd, Li Xianyu saw Sakurai Yukinako, who followed after a serious old man and spat her tongue at him playfully.

 The seats were not enough and the female secretary added many chairs and brought her dozen female a.s.sistants to make tea for the big shots of the demon descendant community before leaving the conference room.

 The door of the conference room closed. Among the many forces, one of the Buddhist elders chanted, “Amitabha,” before proclaiming, “Lightning King, we came here without an invitation. I hope your company can understand.”

 Lightning King nodded and said, “Mhm.”

 In the beginning, he was just a little disciple of the Taoist faction. His qualifications were average. Even now, his cultivation was weak. Most of the senior staff could hang and beat him with one hand.

 The top dogs of the Taoist and Buddhist a.s.sociations here were his predecessors. In front of them, Lightning King could only bow down in reverence. Until a few years ago, Baoze was founded because he had boasted to the unknown young man at the beginning and commented on the current situation of the demon descendant community. And suddenly he became the most important department head of Baoze, in charge of the law enforcement department.

 Suddenly, he became a rising star in the demon descendants community. It was as though the G.o.ddess of fortune had suddenly visited and blessed him.

 In the beginning, the Taoist a.s.sociation, especially his sect, felt that they could ride on his success. Without hesitation, they requested for Lightning King to give them benefits and a.s.sist them to get stronger within the Taoist and Buddhist a.s.sociation.

 Lightning King was happy to comply at first, but he could not satisfy his sect's increasing greed. Eventually, he had to put his foot down and disagreed with his sect.

 His master directly looked for him. In front of all the company employees, his master scolded Lightning King and claimed that he was a betrayer to the sect. His master even said that he was going to punish Lightning King severely to clear out the betrayers.

 In Buddhism and Taoism, there were three things that should be accorded the highest respect to, namely, Heaven, Earth, and one's own master. Lightning King had yet to leave the sect for a long time and was not yet that experienced in the ways of the world. He could only endure the scolding like a little kid who made a mistake.

 However, the strange thing was that, after that day, no one from the sect came to bother him ever again.

 Only when he inquired about it, he found that later the big boss went to his sect in person and raised havoc. His master had not been able to get off the bed for three months after a big fight with the big boss.

 As the Chinese saying went, a man would die for his confidante. Lightning King was that man. Without a family or his own business, he concentrated on his work. Maybe except for the occasional attention he gave his female secretary.

 The Buddhist monk continued, “The Great Deities Palace is open. Is it true?”

 Lightning King gave a small pause before replying, “It is true.”

 In the crowd, there was an uproar. The old faces lit up, and it was hard to restrain the excited mood at this time.

 Shen Meng's eyes lit up. “What are you waiting for? Give us the location of the Great Deities Palace.”

 All of them looked at Great-Grandma.

 There were a few seconds of silence, people got a surprising answer, Great-Grandma lightly replied, “I don't know.”

 Everyone was shocked.

 Shen Meng said blankly, “What did you say?”

 “I don't know,” Great-Grandma repeated

 He didn't hear it wrong.

 “Can yer stop jokin'?” a Shanghai demon descendant said in the local accent.

 The sharp gazes of over a hundred people pierced at the Unparalleled War Spirit and Li Xianyu.

 Li Xianyu felt a tinge of pressure, and his scalp is a bit numb. Great-Grandma calmly scanned the crowd, and calmly replied, “Why do you think I know the location of the Great Deities Palace?”

 “Nonsense!” The head of Xu's family was grumpy. “You signed an agreement with us in Lianghua Temple that day. Unparalleled War Spirit, did you dare not to uphold your end of the agreement?”

 “That's because you think I know the location of the Great Deities Palace.” Great-Grandma looked around the crowd. “I just did what you want, but did you really think if I really know where the Great Deities Palace is, I would let Li Wuxiang enter the Great Deities Palace alone? This generation's descendent is just a fledgling. In order to let him practice safely and not be disturbed by annoying flies, I have to use the strategy of delaying war.”

 Shentu Changgong's face was livid and he retorted, “No one said that you didn't enter the Great Deities Palace in the first place.”

 In those days, the demon descendants chased Li Wuxiang for the treasures, not the Unparalleled War Spirit. That was not to say that they believed that the Unparalleled War Spirit knew nothing about the treasures of the Great Deities Palace, but it was just that they didn't dare.

 For example, no matter how arrogant the robbers were, they dared not to rob the Federal Reserve with guns.

 After the death of Li Wuxiang, the Unparalleled War Spirit sealed itself, which was the end of the matter. But as soon as Li Xianyu awakened, people came to him at once. In fact, it showed that the outside world always thought that the Unparalleled War Spirit knew about the whereabouts of the treasure and thought that she had entered the Great Deities Palace.

 The descendant of the Li family was the weakness of the Unparalleled War Spirit. With the weakened Unparalleled War spirit, they dared to disturb the sleeping dogs.

 “I think it's not that you don't know the location of the Great Deities Palace, but that there were other reasons.” Someone poked fun at this.

 “Oh? You might as well tell me why.” Thunderlord Lin Chuan picked his eyebrows.

 “For example, Baoze wants to swallow the Great Deities Palace alone.” There are many people and powerful forces. Even in the headquarters of Baoze, they were not afraid.

 “Baoze is a just and dignified law enforcement agency. Please pay attention to your words. Otherwise, we will sue you for slander.” The warning of Lightning King came swiftly and harshly.

 “Lightning King.” Sakurai Tokimasa stood up and bowed slightly. “Baoze must give a reasonable explanation for this matter. The Sakurai family paid a lot to enter the Great Deities Palace. If Baoze does not abide by the contract, the Sakurai family will be the first to disagree. ”

 Everyone agreed.

 Lightning King knocked on the table and signaled to everyone to be quiet. He looked at Sakurai Tokimasa and said with a smile, “Sakurai family has two choices. First, find the Great Deities Palace with Baoze. The times are different. Now science and technology are so developed. As long as the Great Deities Palace is in China, Baoze will try its best to find it. Besides, if we have the key to the Great Deities Palace, we actually have a good chance. If, just in the very unlikely scenario, we couldn't find it and missed the opening of the Great Deities Palace, then Baoze will refund the price paid by the Sakurai family in full. And the second option is that Baoze will now return what the Sakurai family paid us now. You can leave.”

 “As for all of you, if you are willing to work together with Baoze, you are welcome. But please correct your att.i.tude. What has going into Great Deities Palace got to do with Baoze? If you want something, go find it yourself. Is Baoze your father? If all of you hold on to the idea that the law will not punish the ma.s.ses, you will get into trouble sooner or later.”

 Lightning King spoke loudly, looking at San Wu. “If someone were to make trouble, what should I do?”

 San Wu replied emotionlessly and seriously, “F*ck them up.”

 Ape G.o.d said, “Great.”

 Thunderlord said, “I agree.”

 Earth G.o.d said, “No problem.”

 Baoze had always been so strong-willed, which was what the world leader should have been. At least on the surface, Baoze must display this momentum.

 No one spoke up to them, as they all moved their target. A famous Taoist said lightly, “Unparalleled War Spirit, do you mean that the agreement of the Lianghua Temple was invalid? Do you remember the content of the agreement?”

 Without waiting for Great-Grandma to open her mouth, someone else joined in, and said in a funny tone, “No personal injury shall be caused to the heirs of the Li family before the opening of the Great Deities Palace. Since that agreement was invalidated, it means it is ok to do so now.”

 The three G.o.ds of Baoze and Lightning King raised their eyebrows. Without concealing the intention of their threat, these people were really lawless. They dared not to fight with Baoze, so they pointed their spear at the Unparalleled War Spirit. Relying on their strength in number, they even dared to threaten the Unparalleled War Spirit.

 Baoze was too powerful. The big boss, whose strength was at Half-Step Gokudo Path, was only a golden signboard. What really deterred the demon descendant community was Baoze's overall power, in both financial resources and human resources.

 However, the Li family had no power at all, except for a sealed Unparalleled War Spirit.

 The thunder King understood the meaning of these people. You Baoze want to swallow the Great Deities Palace alone, right? We will kill the descendants of the Li family at all costs, and let the Unparalleled War Spirit go berserk.

 No one would be safe under the storm? This blame would be taken by Baoze. Aren't you a lawful organization in charge of ensuring the stability of the demon descendant community? How could you let Unparalleled War Spirit go berserk?

 They were taking advantage of the situation! This was also how they used to blackmail Buddha Head.

 “Does the Li family owe you anything?” The faint voice penetrated the clamor of the crowd.

 Everyone looked at the Unparalleled War Spirit and was silent. Did the Li family owe them anything? Not really.

 But was that important? Throughout history, how many cases had there been where the innocent were persecuted? Too many.

 Even if they were innocent, just by possessing a wealth unbefitting of their status, it was a crime in itself.

 “If we do not owe anyone anything, I'll let the Li family owe you something today.” When her voice fell, Great-Grandma's hair started swaying despite the windless conference room. Her beautiful face was covered with blue veins, and her eyes were filled with violence and madness.

 “For example, your life!”

 Silent from the start to the end, Li Xianyu got up and silently took off his gloves. Suddenly, he understood the original Demonic Priest's grief and helplessness.

 “Bring it on! Everyone only has one life. What is there to be scared of?”

 Hearing this, Lightning King's heart s.h.i.+vered. What the crowd said just now clearly touched the reverse scale of the Unparalleled War Spirit. He didn't expect the Unparalleled War Spirit to react so fiercely. Just now, he specially asked her to calm down, which was because he expected this situation.

 The words on the negotiation table were not meant to be taken seriously completely, and that included threats. If at the end of the day, negotiation really were to break down, then there was no choice but to fight. However, the Unparalleled War Spirit directly omitted the process and jumped to the fighting.

 Of course, he didn't know how much the dream of last night affected Great-Grandma. What she was most sensitive about now was that others were threatening Li Xianyu's life.

 Everyone's heart was cold, but they didn't shrink back as they summoned their qi and resisted against the qi field of the Unparalleled War Spirit.

 Crack! The hard meeting table was torn in the clas.h.i.+ng qi and tea was sprinkled all over the floor.

 All of them got up, and Shen Meng said maliciously, “Unparalleled War Spirit, do you really dare to start a ma.s.sacre in the Baoze Headquarters?”

 “Shut up!” Lightning King suddenly got up and roared, “Do you want to rebel? Whoever dares to fight will not leave Shanghai alive today. Did you think the thousands of Baoze employees stationed here are just for show? Did you think our big boss is just a strawman? Did you think the ten G.o.ds of Baoze is just a decoration? Try us! Unparalleled War Spirit, you also calm down. If you don't want the Li family to lose the last bloodline.” Lightning King shouted.

 The roar penetrated the conference room despite its excellent sound insulation effect. The female secretary and a dozen female a.s.sistants outside turned white and trembled with fear.

 The two sides were at each other's throats, but somehow they held back for the time being.

 At this time, in the quiet and fierce conference hall, a casual sound echoed from Li Xianyu's phone that had fallen to the ground when the conference table collapsed. The screen lit up as he received a message.

 Li Xianyu glanced down and his pupils contracted suddenly.
