Chapter 85: What Can You Do About Me?

However, Li Zhengye was the grandson that the Old Ancestor doted on the most. He was also the Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom and the representative of the power of the Yufu Mountain in the mortal world.

He was killed just like that. It did not matter who was right or wrong. What was important was that the Yufu Mountain’s reputation was seriously hurt.

The Old Ancestor was in seclusion. If he came out of seclusion and found out that his grandson was dead, but his disciples did not take the initiative to avenge his grandson and restore the name of the Yufu Mountain, the Sect Master and others would probably be punished by the Old Ancestor. Their cultivation might be crippled and expelled from the Yufu Mountain.

The catacombs were very important too, but was it more important than the grandson of the Old Ancestor?

Even if the security of the catacombs had fallen and countless demons had escaped, those demons would not dare to go up the Yufu Mountain. At most, ordinary martial artists and commoners would suffer, but it would not affect the Yufu Mountain.

After Martial Uncle Ma figured this out, he immediately arranged for some of the disciples who were originally guarding the catacomb, especially the disciples above the second-grade Grotto-Heaven realm, to follow him to take revenge on the Northern Kingdom.

Since she dared to kill the Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom, then they would kill the ruler of the Northern Kingdom and let her die with Li Zhengye. From then on, there would be no Northern Kingdom in this world!

This way, everyone would remember not to mess with Yufu Mountain. They could offend anyone, but they could not offend the immortals of the Yufu Mountain!

Martial Uncle Ma was the senior brother of the Sect Master of the Yufu Mountain. No one dared to disobey his orders, even though there were also disciples who reminded him worriedly.

“Martial Uncle, the catacombs are too dangerous. There are so many of us guarding it, but there are still demons who have escaped. If we transfer some experts to leave, we won’t be able to defend these catacombs anymore. Don’t blame us for not putting in the effort if we can’t defend the catacombs…”

These disciples were afraid that they would be punished, so they discussed the conditions in advance. Otherwise, if something went wrong with the catacombs, they would be punished by the Yufu Mountain.

That was a very serious matter.

“Sect Master and I both know that avenging your Junior Brother Li at this time is related to the reputation of our Yufu Mountain. If we can’t defend the catacombs, then so be it. It’s not that we didn’t try our best, but these demons are too powerful.” Martial Uncle Ma said coldly.

The grandson of Yufu Mountain’s Old Ancestor had been killed, and the reputation of Yufu Mountain had been trampled on. At this time, who cared about the demons?

Even if those catacombs demons escaped, they would not seek death by going to the Yufu Mountain. At most, they would go to the famous mountains and rivers of the Yufu Kingdom to possess ordinary martial artists and torture the commoners.

“Yes, yes. We will follow Martial Uncle Ma’s orders. Speaking of which, the demons in the catacombs are really too powerful. The Yufu Kingdom respects our Jade Floating Mountain. However, our Yufu Mountain is not the only one supporting the Yufu Kingdom. Many aristocratic families did too. They did not move, so there’s no need for us to do anything…”

“That’s right, that’s right. Our disciples of the Yufu Mountain have all been killed and we haven’t taken revenge yet. Who has the mood to care about these catacombs?”

…

Many Yufu Mountain disciples shouted. The demons in the catacombs were too powerful. Even if they guarded here, they would suffer heavy casualties.

Many smart and cunning disciples tried their best to shirk responsibility. Martial Uncle Ma had even come out to say such words, even taking out some of the disciples. Only a fool would guard this place to the death and be afraid here.

There were originally ten Martial Saint disciples guarding the catacomb day and night, and five Martial Saint disciples guarding it in shifts. After Martial Uncle Ma transferred seven of the strongest disciples, there were only eight disciples left in the catacombs. A disciple at the second-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm was the leader.

These people could not deal with those demons at all, and because of Martial Uncle Ma’s words, these disciples also turned a blind eye. As a result, more and more demons rushed out from Catacomb No. 2.

The catacombs were also connected. Currently, there are four exits. Catacomb No. 1 of the Northern Kingdom was the earliest exit. In the past, no demon had escaped alive. However, in the past few days, all the soul lamps of the demons that had left Catacomb No. 1 had not been extinguished.

Therefore, when there were demons who spread the news that the guards at the entrance of Catacomb No. 2 were weak and that the chances of escaping from there were very high, the demons at the entrance of Catacomb No. 1 were dismissive.

They told them proudly. “That’s nothing. All the demons that left Catacomb No. 1 have escaped. None of them died. This is the safest exit!”

Information like this was widely spread in the catacombs. This made the demons at the entrance of Catacomb No. 3 and No. 4 restless.

This was because the exit of Catacomb No. 3 and No. 4 was in the Myriad City Kingdom. Although there were two exits in the Myriad City Kingdom, the chances of those demons escaping were very low.

Catacomb No. 3 and No. 4 were just second only to Catacomb No. 1 which was of a Hell level.

Since the chances of escaping from No. 1 and No. 2 were so high, the demons at the entrance of No. 3 and No. 4 had also begun to move.

They began to move towards the entrance of the Catacomb No. 1 and No. 2. Soon, they realized that none of the demons that went out of the Catacomb No. 1 had their soul lamps extinguished.

Usually, only two out of three demons would be able to escape from Catacomb No. 2. There would still be one unlucky person who would be killed and the soul lamp was extinguished.

Therefore, below the catacombs, they quickly came to a conclusion. Among all the entrances to the catacombs, No. 1 was the safest. If they wanted to go to the human world and enjoy the benefits of the recovery of the spiritual energy, they had to go to Catacomb No. 1.

“One, two, three, four…”

Li Yuanqing was still counting the demons hanging on the stone wall. The effects of the past two days had been pretty good. Although many of these demons had been beaten until their heads were bleeding, at least they did not need him to release bait and could come out continuously.

Good, this was a good thing. He liked to count every once in a while too. The more he counted, the happier he was. Li Yuanqing counted the demons hanging on the Demon Slayer Swords, and some of them cursed.

“Who are you? Put me down now. What do you want? I’ll kill you. No, I’ll bite your flesh into pieces and swallow it all!”

“I want to drink your blood. I want to drink the last drop of your blood!”

“I want your body. No one can snatch such a perfect body from me!”

…

The demons that Li Yuanqing hung on the stone walls hated him to the core and wanted to bite his flesh and drink his blood.

It was him who had shattered their dreams of going to the human world. They had waited for thousands of years for the recovery of spiritual energy!

Some had even waited for ten thousand years!

“Hahaha, you want to come down? Alright, after I capture more demons, I’ll definitely let you down. Everyone has a chance to come down.”

Li Yuanqing smiled happily. Of course, for safety reasons, these demons were stabbed by the Demon Slayer Sword. There was also a Heavenly Demon Extinguishing Array outside the cave.

With these things, unless Li Yuanqing lets them down, otherwise, hahahaha…
