King of Creation Chapter 1983 - 1968: Simple and Direct

More than half a month ago, Ye Zhen set out from White Tiger City and arrived at Qingqiu, traveling with all his might, taking a total of fourteen days.

But on the way back, it was no longer just traveling with all his might, but desperately!

The little cat kept its speed at nearly its limit of five hundred thousand miles an hour, but this high speed couldn’t be maintained for long.

Therefore, Ye Zhen gave the little cat two hours every day for rest.

During these two hours, Ye Zhen and his party did not stop traveling.

Instead, Ye Zhen personally took to the task, continuously using Wind Flash and Sweep to travel at high speed.

Given Ye Zhen’s current cultivation, he could continuously use Wind Flash and Sweep for an hour, followed by high-speed flight for another hour, barely maintaining a speed of three hundred thousand miles.

When Ye Zhen couldn’t hold out any longer, the little cat would take over and fly with the group.

This way, traveling day and night with all their might, Ye Zhen and his party reached White Tiger City in just nine and a half days, four and a half days faster than before.

This allowed Ye Zhen to slightly breathe a sigh of relief.

According to Tu Jinggao’s confidential intelligence, the pursuers set out a day and a half after Ye Zhen left, but unfortunately, Tu Jinggao did not depart with them, so Ye Zhen currently does not know the exact whereabouts of the pursuers.

But Ye Zhen could roughly infer that at their speed, they should have a lead of at least three to five days, or up to ten days.

However, he couldn’t be entirely sure, given the countless mysterious skills and secret techniques in this world, especially among the Demon Race, which couldn’t be measured by the average speed of the Human Clan’s Tao Realm.

At this point, Ye Zhen could only seize every moment to rescue Xuan Hu.

What Ye Zhen didn’t know was that over ten million miles away, the Great Saint of the Bear Clan was holding the sky with one hand, with the Supreme Third Elder of the Fox Clan, Tu Che, two Great Saints of the Monkey Clan, and over a dozen other Dao Realm members from various clans sitting above.

As for the Great Saint himself, his hulking figure was taking huge strides, each step leaving a mountain behind, and in the next, crossing a boundless forest.

"The Great Saint’s Earth-Shrinking Divine Skill is unparalleled among the clans!" Supreme Third Elder Tu Che praised.

Hearing this, the Great Saint chuckled proudly, "In the sky, our speed is lacking, but on the ground, hey!"

"At this speed, we’ll reach White Tiger City in three or four days, won’t we?" Tu Che laughed.

"Three days at most, we’ll definitely reach White Tiger City!" The Great Saint beamed with confidence.

...

In a remote tavern in White Tiger City, inside a room enclosed by a Silent Barrier, Ye Zhen, Hur Chimei, Zhu Hong, and Hu Qingtong sat together, discussing strategies for rescuing Xuan Hu.

"As far as I know, the Black Tiger King is inherently suspicious, appears fair and impartial on the surface, but in reality, he’s extremely greedy. Directly dealing with him is too risky.

If you trust me, I can go see my father, and let him help intervene to rescue Xuan Hu." Hur Chimei suggested.

"That’s not feasible; your father pleading with the Black Tiger King for his own people is unreasonable and against etiquette, a face-saving move that the Black Tiger King would never allow." Hu Qingtong rejected.

"Or, let my father intervene and use a Dragon Saliva Peach to exchange for Xuan Hu! Facing my father, the Black Tiger King shouldn’t dare play tricks." Hur Chimei proposed.

Ye Zhen smiled wryly at Hur Chimei, who was undoubtedly sincere and genuinely wanted to help them.

But his experience was lacking.

There’s an eighty or ninety percent chance the Red Tiger King wouldn’t want to involve himself in such matters, especially since it involves the Eastern Azure Dragon Emperor.

The most crucial aspect is time—Ye Zhen can’t design elaborate plans, and the margin for error is very low.

To succeed in one go would be ideal.

Otherwise, even if there’s an opportunity, there might not be enough time.

"Princess Chimei, we need you to help us with one task." Ye Zhen suddenly spoke up.

"Please, go ahead."

"Separate from us, then use your influence or the Red Tiger King’s forces, to keep an eye on the pursuers. If they arrive, ideally give us a half day or two to three hours of warning." Ye Zhen instructed.

"That’s...no problem."

"Also, I need a map of the Black Tiger King’s Tiger King Palace, and it would be best if you can confirm the Black Tiger King’s recent exact location for me." Ye Zhen added.

"Brother Ye, what do you mean?" Zhu Hong frowned.

"Now, we can only use the simplest, most direct approach." Ye Zhen’s eyes were full of resolve.

...

Under the White Tiger Demon Emperor, each Tiger King has a Tiger King Palace.

The Black Tiger King oversees the Tiger Clan’s laws, dealing with many miscellaneous affairs, so his Tiger King Palace is conveniently located on a majestic peak three thousand miles behind White Tiger City, atop White Tiger Mountain.

The peak is named Black Tiger Peak, and the Black Tiger King Palace is built atop it.

According to Hur Chimei’s intel, during the past year, the Black Tiger King has been in the Black Tiger King Palace, appearing to handle affairs once every half month, the rest of the time, he’s in seclusion for cultivation comprehension.

Because it’s in the Tiger Clan’s base, with the Black Tiger King personally stationed there, the Black Tiger King Palace’s defense is only at a standard level.

Ye Zhen effortlessly sneaked into the underground of the Black Tiger King Palace.

After half an hour, Ye Zhen had already found the palace where the Black Tiger King was secluded.

However, the palace had obvious spatial power fluctuations, with overlapping layers of formidable formation aura—given Ye Zhen’s Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, he was still hesitant.

Clearly, the Black Tiger King was very mindful of the defense for his cultivation place.

Otherwise, if someone targeted him while he was cultivating, he’d suffer greatly.

"Little Demon, spread your avatars throughout the Tiger King Palace!"

In the next instant, streams of invisible Yimu Spiritual Power silently traveled through the various underground root systems, dispersing to all corners of the Tiger King Palace.

Dozens of breaths later, as if all the plants in the Tiger King Palace came to life, this moment, the palace was full of Ye Zhen’s eyes.

"A Dao Realm Peak existence, a person on par with a High Priest level...who would’ve thought I’d be provoking such a ferocious tiger today..." Ye Zhen muttered as his figure vanished without a trace.

Half a quarter-hour later, a large tree and a branch in front of the Black Tiger King’s bedroom suddenly transformed into a spear shimmering with green light, crashing into the restriction outside the bedroom!

Boom!

Blinding dark blue waterlight burst from the bedroom’s restriction; the restriction wasn’t breached, but the entire Black Tiger King Palace’s guards were alarmed by the attack.

In an instant, countless streaks of light darted from different directions towards the bedroom.

The Tiger Clan’s Great Saint on duty under the Black Tiger King was visibly shocked; if the intruder startled the Black Tiger King, his responsibility would be enormous.

Yet as the figures rushed over, a vague shadow materialized outside the bedroom, proclaiming loudly, "I come today with a treasure to trade with Lord Black Tiger King..."

"Who dares intrude the Tiger King Palace, courting death!" Roared the on-duty Teeth Tiger Great Saint, transforming into a white light shooting at Ye Zhen.

The shadow ignored the incoming white light, continuing casually, "Does Lord Black Tiger King have any interest in the longevity treasure, Dragon Saliva Peach?"

Seeing the white light about to shatter the shadow, suddenly a wave of waterlight surged from the bedroom, instantly halting the white light.

A vast pressure, like the sea, emerged from the bedroom, forcing the shadow to retreat, "Dragon Saliva Peach? Where did you get such a treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen felt immense joy in his heart; the first step of the plan was a success!
