King of Creation Chapter 1948 - 1933: The Black Cloud Great Sage’s Plot

"I say, Brother Monkey, even if you’re trying to get yourself killed, this isn’t the way!"

Ye Zhen looked disdainfully at the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba, who kept spewing dark brown chunks of internal organs from his mouth, and with a burst of strength in his palm, he acted as swiftly as lightning. Streams of emerald light surged into Sunx Ba’s body, finally stopping the flow of blood and internal organ fragments from his mouth.

"Brother Monkey, the Dao Realm force entangled on your Demon Core that was worsening your internal injuries has been dispersed by me.

However, the actual injuries to your Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs are substantial, with each suffering fractures and numerous scars. Thanks to your formidable physique and astounding recovery ability, anyone else in your condition would have already died.

To recover, you must sit quietly and regulate your breath from now on, and refrain from using Spiritual Power for half a year, which will bring some improvement.

Then, meticulously use Pills to nourish your organs for two years, and only then will you be completely healed," Ye Zhen said.

"My injuries will take two and a half years to heal?" Sunx Ba gasped in shock.

"At least two and a half years. If you don’t believe me, ask Qing Tong!" Ye Zhen replied.

"Brother Ye mentions an ideal scenario with top-grade Pills nourishing the organs. Under normal circumstances, these injuries are unlikely to recover in three or four years," Hu Qingtong said.

"I can’t do anything at all and need to rest for three or four years?" Sunx Ba felt increasingly frustrated as Hu Qingtong’s timeframe lengthened.

Sunx Ba, naturally active, found it really difficult to adhere to a prolonged period of rest and recuperation.

"Do you think Dao Realm experts are so easy to deal with? This time, you’re lucky; next time, if you challenge a Dao Realm expert head-on, you won’t get off so lightly," Hu Qingtong retorted displeased.

"I did it to rescue Xuan Hu!" Sunx Ba chuckled awkwardly, then took out a Storage Ring and said, "By the way, I managed to get eighteen Dragon Saliva Peaches that day. I’ve already eaten one due to my greed.

Let’s all share these peaches. They grant eight hundred years of life span, but you can only eat one within a millennium."

Unable to use Spiritual Power, Sunx Ba asked Zhu Hong to forcefully open the Storage Ring, casually tossing out a peach to each person, including Chi Ling’er and Ling Qianbi.

It seemed as if they were distributing ordinary peaches rather than rare treasures that could drive top-level entities in the world mad.

However, Chi Ling’er, lacking Cultivation, couldn’t eat them.

Ye Zhen didn’t eat his peach but instead looked at the Dragon Saliva Peach in his hand and said, "By the way, I’ve come here with another matter to convey to all of you, except Xuan Hu, who’s not here. As you are all present, I’ll mention it now."

"What’s the matter?" Everybody turned their gaze to Ye Zhen.

Before speaking, Ye Zhen sent Ling Qianbi out and added an extra Silent Barrier to prevent any leakage.

After all, regarding matters of the True Profound Continent, the fewer people who know, the better.

"Several years ago, I returned to the True Profound Continent and met your Devil God Palace ancestor, namely Senior Teng Yi. Upon parting, he asked me, if I had the chance to meet you, to relay a message."

"He stated his life span was nearing its end and wished to see you again before his passing. If possible, should you have time, return to the True Profound Continent."

"Hmm, within sixty years." Ye Zhen added.

"What, the old guy is going to die... *cough*..." Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba was startled, leaping to his feet, but before he could rise, blood sprayed from his mouth again.

Repressing Sunx Ba again, Ye Zhen furiously exclaimed, "Brother Monkey, if you continue this way, I guarantee it won’t take much, only three to five more episodes, before even the Creation God won’t be able to save you!"

Sunx Ba smiled sheepishly, "I’m just anxious, aren’t I?"

"Brother Ye, when the ancestor spoke of within sixty years, did he mean his life span still has sixty years?" Upon hearing this news, Hu Qingtong’s eyes turned a bit red.

"Almost, but we can’t be too optimistic. However, I estimate he has thirty or forty years of life left," Ye Zhen said.

"Thirty or forty years then isn’t a problem!" Sunx Ba waved the Dragon Saliva Peach in his hand, "Don’t we have this thing? Extending life for eight hundred years is not a problem. After we resolve Xuan Hu’s matter, we’ll return to the True Profound Continent together."

"True enough."

Although the Dragon Saliva Peach is indeed a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object to prolong life, any Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object requires a foundation to take effect.

It’s similar to seeking a wheat yield boost, but first, you need to have a wheat field.

The current ancestor of the Devil God Palace is already at the end of his life, his life span almost depleted, and how much effect the Dragon Saliva Peach can have remains uncertain.

Ye Zhen did not voice these concerns now, addressing them would only add unnecessary worry.

The main task now is to find a way to rescue Xuan Hu.

As for the ancestor of the Devil God Palace, they’ll address it once they return to the True Profound Continent. Ye Zhen’s message has been conveyed.

"Brother Monkey’s idea is actually quite good. Normally, trading a Dragon Saliva Peach with the Black Tiger King for Xuan Hu’s freedom should be feasible.

However, this is only under normal circumstances. Before contacting Black Tiger King for the trade, we first need to figure out one thing: why was Xuan Hu imprisoned by Black Cloud Great Sage?" Ye Zhen turned his gaze to the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba.

Among everyone present, Sunx Ba might be the one who knew.

The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba shook his head, "I’m not entirely sure either. I received a warning signal from Xuan Hu and rushed over, but by then, Xuan Hu was already imprisoned.

Despite all my efforts and even trying to bribe the Guardian Demon Commander, I could only learn that Xuan Hu was in a dire situation and could only deliver a few healing Pills to him. I’ve never seen Xuan Hu since, but..."

Turning his tone, Sunx Ba directed his gaze to Hu Qingtong, "This matter might be somewhat related to Qing Tong."

"Related to me?" Hu Qingtong was confused, and Ye Zhen couldn’t understand how the issue had circled back to Hu Qingtong.

Clearly, the affair wasn’t straightforward.

Zhu Hong scratched his head; he wasn’t adept in this area but was good at listening, seldom offering opinions.

"Qing Tong, think about it?" Ye Zhen suggested.

Hu Qingtong pondered for a moment, and suddenly his face changed, "Based on Brother Monkey’s timing, Xuan Hu was likely captured shortly after leaving my place."

"Xuan Hu visited you before his capture?" Ye Zhen asked.

"It must have been about half a month before Xuan Hu’s capture, the Black Cloud Great Sage from the Tiger Clan came to visit the Great Clan Leader of our Qingqiu Clan. During the visit, he mentioned having old ties with Xuan Hu and invited me to the Upper Hall for a meeting.

Then a Demon Commander from the Fox Clan jokingly remarked, ’Xuan Hu and his friend have arrived in Qingqiu Territory; shouldn’t you make some gesture?’ I didn’t think much of it and said that although my home was modest, they could stay a while if willing.

The Black Cloud Great Sage agreed on the spot to come over with Xuan Hu as guests.

Who knew that when they came to my house that day, Xuan Hu foolishly knocked over a jar of wine and, in his panic, upended the table full of food and drink, angering the Black Cloud Great Sage.

They left shortly after a brief chat."

Once Hu Qingtong finished speaking, Ye Zhen, Hu Qingtong, Sunx Ba, and Zhu Hong’s gazes all simultaneously fixed, "The wine jar Xuan Hu toppled is suspicious!"

"Xuan Hu actions are generally calm and steady. Would he normally mistakenly knock over a wine jar and table? It’s utterly impossible!" Sunx Ba commented.

"That rascal Xuan Hu, even if he were drunk, wouldn’t mistakenly knock over a wine jar," Zhu Hong added, "Knocking over the wine jar that day was likely intentional."

"Are you saying that the Black Cloud Great Sage might have some ill intentions towards Qing Tong, or perhaps there was something wrong with the wine, and this was Xuan Hu intentionally overturning the wine jar and table as a warning?" Ye Zhen analyzed.

"What could the Black Cloud Great Sage want from a widowed mother like me?" Hu Qingtong frowned.

And that was precisely Ye Zhen’s point of confusion.
