King of Creation Chapter 1935 - 1920: Qingqiu

Watching Ye Zhen, Yun Ben, and Hur Chimei’s group leave the Black Tiger Prison, the face of the Black Cloud Great Sage darkened instantly.

"Next time, if you let anyone in carelessly again, I’ll take your head!"

A sharp rebuke immediately frightened the Guardian Demon Commander to his knees, "Forgive me, Great Sage, I dare not ever again. I will remember this lesson well."

"Remember it well!"

A cold glint appeared on the corner of the Black Cloud Great Sage’s mouth. If it weren’t for the fact that this Guardian Demon Commander of the Black Tiger Prison was directly appointed by his father, the Black Tiger King, making it difficult to replace him, he would have swapped him out long ago.

"Also, give Xuan Hu four or five days. After he recovers slightly in the prison, lock him into the Black Prison again.

Do you understand my meaning?"

"I understand, to keep Xuan Hu alive while torturing him, but not letting him die until he submits!" the Guardian Demon Commander said.

"Great Sage, if you want Xuan Hu to submit in a shorter time, it might be worthwhile to pamper him with good food and drink for a month or two in the Black Tiger Prison before locking him in the Black Prison," Fox ZiBo, who had just been appointed as Think Tank, suddenly suggested.

"Why?" The Black Cloud Great Sage’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Great Sage, if a person suffers pain for too long, they become numb; continuous pain and torment might not work.

But if you let him enjoy the pleasures of life, the happiness of a full belly, and relax comfortably for a while, and then lock him back in the Black Prison to suffer.

The pain it brings will be dozens or even hundreds of times worse than before. Under such circumstances, his will is more likely to collapse, making it easier for him to submit," explained Fox ZiBo.

The Black Cloud Great Sage showed a look of surprise after a little contemplation, "On careful thought, your argument indeed makes sense."

"Did you hear that? Do as my Think Tank instructed! Treat Xuan Hu well with good food and drink for two months, then lock him in the Black Prison and execute the previous plan!" the Black Cloud Great Sage ordered.

"I understand," the Guardian Demon Commander quickly responded.

....

"Princess Chimei, Brother Yun, thank you for today’s matter! If there are any difficulties in the future, feel free to ask. As long as I can do it, I won’t even frown!" Ye Zhen said with cupped hands after leaving the Black Tiger Prison.

"You’re too kind," Yun Ben hesitated a little, "Brother Ye, the Black Cloud Great Sage often acts differently behind the scenes compared to in front of people. Just like breaking the promise halfway before, who knows if he will lock Xuan Hu back in the Black Prison after we leave despite the charming agreement?"

"If possible, we should think of a way to rescue Xuan Hu as soon as we can," Yun Ben suggested.

"It’s not like I don’t want to rescue Xuan Hu, but convincing the Black Cloud Great Sage to release him won’t be easy," Ye Zhen said with a wry smile.

"That’s true; unless the Black Tiger King orders it himself, even the other Tiger Kings couldn’t make it happen," Yun Ben replied helplessly.

"Right, how do you want me to help you?" Yun Ben asked.

"Let’s skip the courtesies. Brother Yun, if you have time, could you help me investigate why exactly Xuan Hu offended the Black Cloud Great Sage? In the meantime, I’ll think of a plan to rescue Xuan Hu once I return," Ye Zhen said.

"Are you leaving White Tiger City?" Yun Ben didn’t say anything yet, but Hur Chimei, who was reluctantly saying goodbye to the kitten, became anxious.

"I have something very important to do."

Originally, according to Ye Zhen’s plan, no matter the circumstances, he should first find a way to rescue Xuan Hu, ensuring his safety before considering other matters.

Although it would be difficult to make the Black Cloud Great Sage release someone willingly, Ye Zhen already had several plans in mind.

Ye Zhen was not a kind person; if direct methods didn’t work, then he’d resort to more covert ways. Ye Zhen didn’t believe the Black Cloud Great Sage had no weaknesses.

But the issue was that Xuan Hu’s behavior was too peculiar.

He repeatedly urged Ye Zhen to visit Hu Qingtong and deliver a message to her child.

Initially, Ye Zhen didn’t plan to follow Xuan Hu’s instructions, but his earnest and insistent urging made Ye Zhen change his mind.

Thus, Ye Zhen would first fulfill Xuan Hu’s request, visiting Hu Qingtong in Qingqiu, and then think of a plan to rescue him.

Perhaps, Hu Qingtong might have a way to rescue Xuan Hu.

"Can you take me with you?" Hur Chimei asked eagerly, "You bring me along, it’ll be very convenient. I’m very familiar with the Taimeng Demon Realm and can guide you wherever you want to go."

"Furthermore, although not very famous, with my father’s title, I still have some influence in the Taimeng Demon Realm.

The territory of the Demon Race is quite chaotic; you humans may often encounter trouble when traveling long distances. I can help you and fend off these unexpected incidents."

"And..."

Seeing Hur Chimei’s anxious desire to list piles of advantages, Yun Ben’s Divine Soul Telecommunication echoed in Ye Zhen’s mind.

"Brother Ye, Princess Chimei is right. The Taimeng Demon Realm is governed by various races without a unified command, especially troublesome for humans traveling long distances. The Tiger Clan is one of the most powerful demon races in Taimeng, with the Red Tiger King’s influence being quite useful."

"This...."

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Zhen agreed to Princess Chimei’s request.

To be honest, finding a guide with such path-clearing attributes is not easy.

Going to meet Hu Qingtong isn’t something that requires special secrecy; bringing along Hur Chimei would not only save time but also reduce trouble.

"Princess Chimei, I can take you with me, but my schedule is very tight, and I’m afraid your maids won’t be able to come." Ye Zhen said.

"Don’t worry, as long as you’re willing to take me, I won’t bring a single maid!"

Hur Chimei spoke so straightforwardly, scaring her many maids into persuading her in unison.

Hur Chimei decisively cut through the mess, "Rest assured, with Brother Yun as our guarantee, I will definitely be fine."

Yun Ben was astonished; when did he become the guarantee?

An hour later, Ye Zhen, Ling Qianbi, and Hur Chimei were sitting on the back of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, transforming into a streak of light swiftly departing White Tiger City.

Originally, Ling Qianbi should have returned to the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space like Big Ears, but with Hur Chimei present and to avoid exposing Ye Zhen’s secret of the Mirage Dragon Pearl forming One Realm, she was allowed to accompany them on the journey.

As soon as the kitten moved, its size shrank to the size of a fist, causing Hur Chimei, dangling from the kitten’s neck, to call out loudly.

"Wow, Hur Xiaomao, how is your speed so fast? Not only our Tiger Clan’s Demon Commander, but even our clan’s ordinary Great Saints can’t match your speed."

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, who had only just increased its speed to two hundred thousand miles per hour, raised its eyebrows, "This is nothing; I’ve only showcased half my speed."

In a moment of pride, the kitten accelerated, its speed surging to four hundred thousand miles per hour instantly, causing Hur Chimei to exclaim once again.

"At this speed, even my father king might not be able to catch up with you! Wow, Hur Xiaomao, you’re amazing!"

It’s undeniable that the joyful cheers of the opposite gender are the best motivation.

Throughout the journey, the kitten continually increased its speed, occasionally pushing its velocity to the maximum consumption speed, exceeding six hundred thousand miles per hour, prompting constant exclamations from Hur Chimei.

This little creature kept flaunting, occasionally using its Void-Breaking Divine Power to travel ten thousand miles in one leap, sometimes accelerating to the extreme within a breath.

Occasionally, it even performed quick flips for thrill and excitement.

Seeing the kitten so delighted, Ye Zhen didn’t interrupt, since either way, they were just traveling, as long as the speed wasn’t slow, it was fine with Ye Zhen.

The ultimate consequence of this situation was that after flying for a day and a half, they had to find a place to camp and rest for half a day.

The reason being, the kitten was so eager to flaunt its speed that it nearly exhausted itself to the point of collapse.

However, on the subsequent journey, the kitten learned from this lesson, flaunting when necessary but mastering control.

It’s undeniable that the kitten made yet another improvement.

Qingqiu is a place name, a habitation area of the Fox Clan within the Demon Race.

Qingqiu is vast, originally named Qingqiu Swamp. Due to the Fox Clan’s knack for management, they slowly established a city in Qingqiu Swamp, also named Qingqiu.

In comparison, the Fox Clan excels in management, making Qingqiu City a bustling commercial metropolis, far more prosperous and larger in scale than the Tiger Clan’s White Tiger City.

However, the Fox Clan’s combat power is generally moderate, and without a Demon Emperor residing, Qingqiu City ranks below White Tiger City within the Taimeng Demon Realm.

According to Hur Chimei, Qingqiu is located in the central-east of the Taimeng Demon Realm, approximately sixty million miles away from White Tiger City, which is situated in the western part.

Actually, there are Ancient Teleportation Formations within the Taimeng Demon Realm.

However, the number of Ancient Teleportation Formations in the Taimeng Demon Realm is very few, existing only within several ancient cities of the Demon Race.

For instance, within the White Tiger Mountain Range, there’s an Ancient Teleportation Formation connecting to the Xuanwu Water Palace in the north, but it’s never open to outsiders.

Therefore, traveling within the Taimeng Demon Realm mostly relies on flying.

Fortunately, the Demon Race’s speed is generally faster than the Human Clan’s, and their endurance in flying is also longer, just barely acceptable.

It’s precisely because of this that within the Taimeng Demon Realm, there often aren’t peaceful circumstances, with some powerful Demon Races frequently engaging in ambushing acts.

Some even conduct these activities as a collective action of the entire clan.

Fortunately, with Hur Chimei present, each time she can scare off those robbers.

While these robbers aren’t a threat to Ye Zhen, dealing with them could be highly troublesome, especially those acts involving entire clans.

This is despite the kitten’s speed allowing them to evade most of the robbers, but it couldn’t evade those ambushes.

After encountering two single robberies and three collective ones, fourteen days later, a vast cyan city spanning hundreds of miles, filled with bustling people, appeared before Ye Zhen and his companions.

Qingqiu, they’ve arrived!
