King of Creation Chapter 1977 - 1962: Monkey Clan Pursuers Arrive
Previously on King of Creation...
Qingqiu, a mysterious place, within a palace where five-colored lights flowed, the Clan Leader of the Fox Clan, Tu Zheng, changed countless mysterious seals in his palm, and those mysterious seal formulas eventually condensed into a mysterious talisman seal.
A drop of golden blood flew out from Tu Zheng’s fingertips, merging with the talisman seal at the moment of fusion, and that mysterious talisman seal suddenly projected a dazzling radiance.
Under the shine of the radiance, the doors of the five-colored flowing light palace suddenly opened, and the Supreme Elder of the Fox Clan, Hu Jun, slowly walked into the main hall.
"Supreme Elder, how have the situations been outside these days?" As soon as the Supreme Elder Hu Jun came in, Tu Zheng spoke.
"Clan Leader, the Great Saint of the Bear Clan hasn’t shown any movement; they are just like that, probably waiting for the Ninth Elder Hu Buding to return," the Supreme Elder Hu Jun said.
"Hu Buding? What do you think, Supreme Elder?" A flash passed through Tu Zheng’s eyes.
"Clan Leader, in my judgment, as far as Hu Buding is concerned, I fear there is much danger and little hope," Hu Jun sighed.
"Much danger and little hope?" Tu Zheng nodded, "I think so too. Ten days have passed with not a trace of news. Regardless of the means of contact, we can’t reach him, and there’s no news of his abducted blood relatives. Indeed, it seems there’s much danger and little hope."
"Clan Leader, Hu Buding colluded with outsiders against us; his death is not to be mourned. However, Clan Leader must be extremely cautious.
According to our judgment, it was Hu Buding who kidnapped Chi Ling’er, and Hu Buding’s blood relatives are very likely a countermeasure from Ye Zhen’s side. But Chi Ling’er was rescued by Hu Qingtong and Ye Zhen’s group, while Hu Buding disappeared, likely facing danger.
If it was indeed Ye Zhen’s doing, and they could silently take down a peak of the Early Dao Realm existence, Clan Leader should be extremely cautious of Ye Zhen’s group," the Supreme Elder Hu Jun emphasized.
"How can I not be cautious?" Clan Leader Tu Zheng had a face full of solemnity, "That Bear Clan Dao Realm Xiong Kaihou was actually killed on the spot by that Ye Zhen in battle, his body and soul obliterated.
We should know that even if it was us making a move, it would have been impossible to kill that Xiong Kaihou so quickly, let alone so cleanly.
Ye Zhen must have divine power secret techniques unknown to us; this is why I have changed my plans repeatedly.
This matter must succeed without fail, so careful planning is needed."
At this point, Tu Zheng changed the topic, "Supreme Elder, how did the investigation of the matter you were looking into go?"
"Clan Leader, we have results."
"The Stone Monkey Saint and Green-eyed Great Saint from the Monkey Clan are looking for that Zhu Hong, who appeared in Hu Qingtong’s home.
And according to our investigation, the Sunx Ba, who stole the Dragon Saliva Peach of the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor and is being pursued by the Stone Monkey Saint, is the monkey friend of Zhu Hong and Hu Qingtong.
It’s also the fiery monkey that has often visited Hu Qingtong over the years."
"Moreover, it’s certain that even though we haven’t found a trace of Sunx Ba inside Tu Mountain, Zhu Hong’s appearance here is definitely related to Sunx Ba. Even if not directly, Zhu Hong almost certainly knows Sunx Ba’s whereabouts," the Supreme Elder Hu Jun said.
"So it’s confirmed..." Clan Leader Tu Zheng tapped his pinky against the table rhythmically; Hu Jun understood this was Tu Zheng’s habit when his mind was working at full capacity.
"Additionally, the Stone Monkey Saint and Green-eyed Great Saint of the Monkey Clan have been stuck outside our Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Spirit Formation for four days.
In the past few days, we could delay by mentioning internal changes, trouble caused by the Bear Clan Great Saint, and the Clan Leader’s absence, but just this afternoon, the Stone Monkey Saint and Green-eyed Great Saint have given us an ultimatum.
They will wait at most one more day; if we do not let them in to look for someone by sunset tomorrow, they will have to report the situation to higher authorities, claiming we are obstructing their search for Sunx Ba, who stole the Dragon Saliva Peach.
They claim they will only report; how the Wind-Thunder Ancient Monkey King and the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor perceive it is unknown to them," the Supreme Elder Hu Jun said.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Fox Clan Clan Leader Tu Zheng flashed coldly, "Are they threatening my Fox Clan? Do they think we have no one on our side with the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor?"
"Clan Leader, this matter ultimately concerns the face of the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor. If it gets reported up, even our people may find it difficult to speak up for us," Hu Jun reminded.
"Hmm..."
Bam bam bam!
The rhythmic tapping continued for a full hundred breaths before slowly coming to a halt.
"Handing over Hu Qingtong’s friend Zhu Hong; we cannot do this! Doing so will only offend Hu Qingtong and be extremely disadvantageous to our plans," Tu Zheng said.
"Then what does Clan Leader intend?"
"Supreme Elder, we can take advantage of this by appearing to cooperate! Using the Monkey Clan’s Stone Monkey Saint and Green-eyed Great Saint to capture someone as a pretext, we can drive that Ye Zhen and Zhu Hong away from Hu Qingtong.
Without Ye Zhen and Zhu Hong as supporters, Qing Tong is just a woman; worrying about her child Chi Ling’er’s future and life, we can slightly demonstrate the wonders of the Qingqiu Tomb to apply pressure, at which time Hu Qingtong will be more anxious than us," Tu Zheng sneered.
"So this matter is decided then?" Hu Jun asked?
"Not so fast!"
The Fox Clan Clan Leader Tu Zheng shook his head, "After all, there is still a day left until the deadline requested by the Green-eyed Great Saint and the others; let me further refine the plan and details to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Hmm, Supreme Elder, come back tomorrow morning. At that time, you can further scrutinize the details of my plan to see if there is anything that needs to be corrected, perfect it a bit more.
Executing the plan by noon tomorrow shouldn’t be too late," Tu Zheng said.
"Alright."
Amidst the flashing radiance, the Supreme Elder of the Fox Clan, Hu Jun, left this great hall of flashing five-colored lights.
....
Ye Zhen’s time is very tight.
Only half a quarter-hour to fifteen minutes.
In fact, under normal circumstances, for soul search or interrogation, especially interrogating a Fox Clan grand young master at the Ninth Stage Peak of Realm King Realm, this amount of time is too little.
However, the reason Ye Zhen dared to forcibly act and bring the Fox Clan grand young master Tu Jinggao into the Mirage Dragon Pearl space is because of the temporal sequence space within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Within half a quarter-hour to fifteen minutes, it will transform into one to three hours or even longer.
These times have already allowed Ye Zhen to make some arrangements.
"Who’s there? Come out?"
"What place is this? Who brought me here?"
"If you have guts, come out and show yourself to me." Suddenly being drawn into such a strange space, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao was still very nervous.
However, yelling and shouting here was of no use to Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao.
Considering possible situations, Ye Zhen did not deal with Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao as fiercely as with Tu Xiong before, and did not use several Nine Heavens Divine Thunder strikes to directly knock him unconscious.
On the contrary, Ye Zhen used much gentler means to deal with Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao.
Invisible spatial power suddenly rose around Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao, as if six invisible walls were pressing towards him from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao was like a specimen, clamped between the six walls, unable to speak due to the strong pressure.
Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao was greatly shocked, desperately trying to mobilize his power to resist, but it was to no avail.
Currently, within the Mirage Dragon Pearl space, Ye Zhen is the master.
But this degree of mastery is limited.
It mainly depends on both parties’ Primordial Spirit Power or Divine Soul Power.
If the opponent’s Primordial Spirit Power is stronger or similar to Ye Zhen’s, like the Fox Clan’s Clan Leader Tu Zheng, Ye Zhen’s control over the Mirage Dragon Pearl space could at most cause some obstacles and trouble and not be able to control like with Tu Jinggao.
But if the opponent has not condensed into a Primordial Spirit or their Primordial Spirit Power is weaker than Ye Zhen’s by two or three levels, then within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen is the true master.
Ye Zhen can do whatever he wants, here, he is a god.
Just like Tu Jinggao at this moment, completely unable to resist.
A few breaths later, a heavy hammer first struck Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao’s hindbrain. At the moment he was dazed, an Evil Punishing Divine Thunder directly charged into Tu Jinggao’s Dark Palace from behind.
The Evil Punishing Divine Thunder has a terrifyingly destructive effect on Divine Soul Power.
Even with the protection of the Dark Palace, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao was struck by this blow directly into the Dao Palace by the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
Seeing that Tu Jinggao had fainted, Ye Zhen was unceremonious, directly using the Soul-locking Technique, and amidst Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao’s limbs twitching, extracted a strand of his Innate Divine Soul.
The remaining tasks became quite simple.
With Ye Zhen’s current Primordial Spirit Cultivation, performing the Soul-locking Technique is extremely effortless.
Half a quarter-hour later, the Soul-locking Technique was successfully completed.
Ye Zhen casually controlled the War Soul Blood Flag to inject a ray of War Soul Blood Light into Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao, slightly replenishing his damaged Divine Soul, and with a basin of clear water poured over him, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao sneezed violently and woke up.
Upon waking up, the first thing Tu Jinggao saw was Ye Zhen staring coldly at him, his anger flared uncontrollably.
"Ye, was it you who brought me here?"
"How dare you strike against me?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Our Fox Clan risked our lives to protect you and Hu Qingtong, helped you fend off the Giant Spirit Saint, and you actually..."
"Do you know, if we didn’t intervene, that Giant Spirit Saint could instantly wipe you all out!"
Ye Zhen just rolled his eyes at Tu Jinggao’s threats. Believing anything Tu Jinggao says would be a real joke.
As for the current standoff situation, it’s better described as Ye Zhen’s display of powerful strength threatening to utterly ruin the Fox Clan’s core land, Tu Mountain, rather than protection from the Fox Clan.
And now, Ye Zhen’s plan is to properly teach this Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao a lesson!
After all, Ye Zhen only has one or two hours.
The next moment, as Ye Zhen glared, Grand Young Master Tu Jinggao’s expression froze, suddenly holding his head and letting out pained howls.
The screams echoed throughout the Mirage Dragon Pearl space, unable to be transmitted outside at all!
