94: The Mysterious Realm of Mountains and Seas, Where Demons Dance Wildly
Li Feng led Qin Gelan and the others along with Bai Yuan, ascending Demon Emperor Mountain.
Along the way, Bai Qingqing glanced at Qin Gelan from time to time, her eyes flashing with Battle Intent, her mouth forming silent words directed at him.
Judging by her lip movements: "Fight me."
Qin Gelan's cheek twitched. He simply ignored Bai Qingqing's gaze, making her stomp her feet in frustration; if Bai Yuan hadn't been there, she would have already started a fight with him.
On Demon Emperor Mountain, a multitude of demons had already gathered, all waiting.
The arrival of Li Feng and Bai Yuan caused the crowd of demons to look over; after all, Li Feng and Bai Yuan were Supremes.
Besides them, other Supremes had also already arrived.
For instance, the Supreme of the Golden Crow Clan, with a bird's head and a human body, clad in a golden feather robe, sat cross-legged atop a cloudy peak of Demon Emperor Mountain. He only slowly opened his sharp eyes upon seeing Li Feng and Bai Yuan.
There was also the Supreme of the Soaring Serpent Clan, bloodthirsty divine light flickering in his eyes as he occupied a corner of the space.
Two Supremes from the Sea Race had also come: one from the Jade Shark Clan and one from the Void Whale Clan.
"A human?"
"What is a human doing at the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly?"
"Could he also be here for the Flat Peach?"
Some members of the Yao Race noticed Qin Gelan and showed hostility; a human appearing on Demon Emperor Mountain was certainly not a good sign.
Qin Gelan had long known he would be targeted, so he appeared quite calm.
"Human! This is the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly, what are you doing here!" A member of the Soaring Serpent Clan looked at Qin Gelan with bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
"That right, the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly is not something a human like you can participate in!" a demon with ox horns on his head also spoke up.
Qin Gelan said indifferently, "The Demon Emperor never said humans couldn't participate in the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly, did he?"
"Lord Demon Emperor is indeed broad-minded and might not care, but we do not agree."
"Exactly, we do not agree!"
Several Supremes looked at Qin Gelan with indifferent expressions.
Qin Gelan snorted coldly, releasing his Immortal Emperor aura, and sneered, "What, are you afraid?"
Provoked by Qin Gelan, the crowd of demons was instantly filled with soaring rage.
"Human, you're courting death! Just wait and see how I tear you apart later!"
"That's right, since you want to die, we shall grant your wish."
Li Yuan and Li Yi both broke into a cold sweat for Qin Gelan.
Qin Gelan didn't hold back either, saying directly, "You bunch of rotten garlic, I could take you out with one slap each. Trash!"
Pausing, Qin Gelan looked around and said, "I'm not targeting any one of you; I mean, everyone here is trash."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd of demons erupted, and for a moment, killing intent permeated the entire Demon Emperor Mountain.
Although Bai Qingqing was also a bellicose individual, even she didn't dare to say such arrogant words; this was putting everyone on the opposing side.
Li Yuan and Li Yi finally witnessed just how arrogant Qin Gelan could be; he wouldn't stop until he had completely enraged this group of demons.
"Bastard, let me see just how much strength you have."
"Tear him apart!"
"Drive him off Demon Emperor Mountain!"
One after another, the younger generation on Demon Emperor Mountain released their vast spiritual power, about to charge at Qin Gelan.
"Stop!"
A Great Roc descended; he was a follower of the Demon Emperor and a Dao Entry Supreme Being.
The Great Roc's appearance stopped the crowd. He glanced at Qin Gelan, then looked away and said, "The Ten Thousand Demon Assembly begins in three days. During this time, no fighting is allowed on Demon Emperor Mountain."
The demons immediately quieted down, but their gazes toward Qin Gelan were cold with killing intent. They couldn't wait for three days to pass so they could tear him apart.
Qin Gelan sat down cross-legged, unbothered.
Under the murderous glares of the demons, three days slowly passed.
A figure appeared in the Void Realm, his golden fur shimmering, fangs slightly visible. There wasn't a hint of aura fluctuation from him, yet just by standing there, he possessed the domineering air of a king among demons.
The Monster Realm—the Demon Emperor!
"Greetings, Demon Emperor!"
"Greetings, Demon Emperor!"
The demons prostrated themselves before the Demon Emperor, and even the Supremes lowered their heads slightly to show respect.
Qin Gelan watched the Demon Emperor with his mouth agape.
Holy crap! Brother Monkey!
Qin Gelan was all too familiar with the Demon Emperor's appearance.
A stone chair covered with a beast-skin rug appeared, and the Demon Emperor sat on it with one leg propped up.
This sitting posture was exactly as Qin Gelan had imagined.
The Demon Emperor shot a subtle glance at Qin Gelan, thinking to himself, "Is this the human kid Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable mentioned?"
The Demon Emperor looked at the crowd and spoke slowly, "This Ten Thousand Demon Assembly is very simple. In the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, whoever reaches the summit will obtain the Flat Peach."
Then, the Demon Emperor's eyes burst with golden light, shooting toward a spot in the Void Realm, which slowly opened up.
A Small World manifested, featuring an Immortal Mountain standing in the sea. As long as one reached the summit of that Immortal Mountain, they could obtain the Flat Peach.
With a wave of his hand, a peach radiating seven-colored light appeared in the Demon Emperor's palm, and he tossed it casually.
The Flat Peach flew to the summit of the Immortal Mountain within the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, hovering there.
Looking at the Flat Peach on the Immortal Mountain, a fervent heat appeared in the eyes of the demons.
"Reporting to Lord Demon Emperor, a human has meddled in this Ten Thousand Demon Assembly. We hope Lord Demon Emperor will expel him."
A demon from the Hyena Clan gathered his courage and stepped forward to speak.
"That's right, humans are not worthy of participating in the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly!" someone seconded.
"We hope Lord Demon Emperor will expel him."
With his Fiery Golden Eyes, the Demon Emperor looked at Qin Gelan while the demons awaited his decision.
The Demon Emperor spoke slowly, "This Emperor did not restrict races for the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly. It is reasonable for even a human to participate."
Hearing the Demon Emperor's words, the demons were somewhat disappointed, while Qin Gelan breathed a sigh of relief.
But the Demon Emperor's voice came again, "However, the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly is, after all, a grand event for my Yao Race. If you wish to participate, regardless of the outcome, you must make a contribution to the Yao Race. Otherwise, the demons will be resentful, and this Emperor would be seen as biased."
Qin Gelan asked, "I wonder what the Demon Emperor wants me to do?"
"I will naturally tell you once the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly ends. Will you continue to participate? If you are unwilling, you may withdraw now." The Demon Emperor looked at Qin Gelan.
"I'll participate!" Qin Gelan said without hesitation.
He had come for the Flat Peach in the first place; since he had the chance, he naturally had to seize it.
Qin Gelan's choice was as the Demon Emperor expected; this had been prepared for him all along. Even if he failed, it would just be a matter of bringing out another Flat Peach later.
However, he might be disappointed in Qin Gelan then, as he was someone the Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable thought highly of.
As for the mentioned contribution, it was naturally related to the Sealed Land. The Demon Emperor believed that the Grand Profound Heavenly Venerable wouldn't speak without reason; after all, if the hidden danger of the Sealed Land wasn't completely resolved, it would plague the entire Monster Realm.
"In that case, let the Ten Thousand Demon Assembly begin now!"
As soon as the Demon Emperor finished speaking, the demons let out excited roars and scrambled toward the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.
At this sight, a myriad of demons danced in chaos.
Li Yuan and Li Yi called out to Qin Gelan.
Qin Gelan looked at the Flat Peach hovering on the Immortal Mountain. Coming all the way from Xuanhuang Heaven and having gone through so much, the Flat Peach was now right before his eyes.
With a determined gaze, Qin Gelan slowly entered the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm...
