CHAPTER 1518: CHAPTER 1518: A GRAND SCHEME

Xie Sanniang scorned to pay them any mind and didn’t bother to argue.

She didn’t expect that this little thief had such high prestige in the hearts of the loose cultivators.

Now, the loose cultivators and the Sharing Alliance were a community of shared interests.

Whoever cut off their source of profit, of course, they would turn against.

"A bunch of fools!"

She cursed inwardly and signaled to Qin Yao and the others, her figure flickering as she intended to scout elsewhere.

Who knew that just as she stepped out of the circle of people, a fierce surge of Earth Energy transformed into a gigantic flying sword of Earth Energy, rushing at them with a sweep.

Puff, puff, puff—Xie Sanniang drew her longsword, trapped with Qin Yao and the others, hacking away.

The Earth Energy trembled, dust and smoke flew, instantly forming a yellow mist in the air.

Xie Sanniang persisted inside for a while before hastily retreating with her disciples.

Ma Tengfei reminded triumphantly, "Senior, patiently wait here for a bit. I already reminded you, the restrictions around here are heavy, they’re not meant for you or me to trespass recklessly."

Xie Sanniang, her palm trembling in anger, coldly questioned, "When will your Spatial Domain Gate open?"

Ma Tengfei shrugged and said, "Senior, you’re asking something I cannot answer. Opportunities have their own timing. It might open today, maybe tomorrow, or the day after. Our Sharing Alliance’s Alliance Hierarch is working on decoding it for everyone, I’m sure results will come soon."

"You’re talking nonsense!"

Xie Sanniang shouted, unable to hold back her anger, "You’re making everyone wait here, clearly intending to monopolize the Secret Realm fortune."

Everyone raised their eyebrows, turning to look at Ma Tengfei.

Ma Tengfei laughed heartily, "Senior, think a bit before you speak, will you? If I wanted to monopolize the fortune inside, why would I bring everyone up here? What, do I want us to catch some mountain breeze? Besides, I’m not stopping you, Senior. If you want to enter the Secret Realm, go find an entrance yourself. Why unfoundedly slander our Sharing Alliance?"

The crowd thought it over and felt Ma Tengfei made sense.

If the Sharing Alliance truly didn’t want everyone to seize the opportunity, there was no need to bring them all to the mountaintop.

Xie Sanniang was left speechless, pointing at Ma Tengfei, suppressing her anger, and sat down with a group of disciples for the time being.

Currently, finding the entrance was impossible; there were too many restrictions on the mountain being manipulated, making it impractical to move.

Descending was no better; they could only wait here.

At the mountain’s base, the disciples from various sects were unwillingly staring upwards, idly passing the time with nothing better to do.

On the other side, a Demon King with three heads complained gloomily, "Big brother, let me lead them to charge once more. I guarantee to open a path for everyone."

He was the Three-Headed Lion King from the Valley of Myriad Demons, having taken a human form yet still with three heads.

Covered in golden fur, donned with golden armor, exuding majesty.

A slightly overweight Demon King towering over two meters, with an elephant’s head, shook his head and said, "No, our little ones from the Valley of Myriad Demons don’t just grow on trees. We’ve made five or six charges just now, costing us tens of thousands of demonic beasts’ lives. Further forceful assaults are unwise."

He was the leader, the Dragon-Scaled Elephant King.

His skin astonishingly had golden scales like that of a carp.

A Demon King with a pointed horn on his nose exhaled gravely, "I agree with big brother. Our brothers’ casualties are too severe. We must find a smarter way, definitely not by brute force."

All three men turned their gazes to a stunning woman.

This woman wore a long seven-colored dress, tall and slender, her skin as smooth as mutton fat jade, her face like a March peach blossom, indistinguishable from the Human Race.

Her presence was distinguished and aloof, as though untouched by mortal mundanity.

Especially her alluring phoenix eyes, clear like water waves. Her pupils were like sapphires, naturally carrying a hint of allure.

The Three-Headed Lion King smiled ingratiatingly and asked, "Little sister, do offer some advice to everyone."

This woman was the youngest, the Peacock King, and was female, yet held the highest status among the Four Great Demon Kings.

The three big men typically heeded the words of this Peacock Queen.

This Peacock Queen had her own name, Kong Qing.

However, the Three Great Demon Kings usually called her little sister.

Kong Qing stared at the mountain, her expression tightening slightly, "The restrictions on this mountain are usually inactive, but today it seems they’re being manipulated, something must have happened up there. We’ll wait here for some time; I noticed the Human Race elites haven’t gone up either, they’re bound to find a way. Then we can just follow them up."

The Three Great Demon Kings exchanged glances and all gave Kong Qing thumbs up, "Still, little sister is the clever one. Let’s do as you say!"

"Damn, we can afford to wait and see if those from the Human Race can hold out."

"..."

The Four Great Demon Kings unwillingly rested, with some closing their eyes in repose and others starting to snore aloud.

Only Kong Qing sat on a tree trunk, her long legs dangling naturally, staring blankly at the mountain.

Earlier, while climbing, she spotted a girl from the Human Race.

This girl was opposing the restrictions with a Phoenix Dharma Laksana above her head, closely connected by blood to Kong Qing.

The peacock was inherently of the Phoenix Bloodline, she naturally felt close upon seeing it.

Lonely in this world, seeing a kindred spirit filled her with joy, only it was a member of the Human Race.

Waiting with them were other Demon Kings.

Lady Black Snake, Great Tiger Might King, Centipede Daoist, and Vulture Great King, a group of sinister Demon Kings were on the other side of the mountain.

They too attacked five or six times, all beaten down by the mountain’s restrictions.

The little demons suffered heavy casualties, and even they had bloody wounds left on their bodies.

After someone came back from scouting, Lady Black Snake immediately decided that as long as the Three-Headed Lion and his group didn’t go up, neither would they.

What was once a noisy mountainside suddenly became quiet.

Atop the small world on the mountain, a group of people inside widened their mouths in unison, bursting out with silly excitement.

A man and a woman happily embraced, causing the other few singles to sullenly scuttle away.

These people were Long Fei and his group. As they entered the Secret Realm, Long Fei had wrapped Wang Xiaoya into it as well.

Wang Xiaoya and the others had climbed the mountain; Long Fei was certainly aware.

The two hugged, smiling foolishly, their affectionate scene as sweet as honey. Once Chu Feng and the others left, they immediately kissed.

This fragment of the world turned out to be an herbal garden.

As far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.

In all directions lay fresh greenery and flowers, like a vast prairie, so beautiful it took one’s breath away.

The herbs inside were brimming with Essential Qi, calming the five organs in those within, the skin seemingly immersed in medicinal baths.

Long Fei holding Wang Xiaoya fell among the grass, the green around wrapping them like a quilt.

Wang Xiaoya’s tears started to emerge, biting Long Fei’s lip, coyly murmuring nonstop, "Heartless guy, if I don’t come find you, why don’t you come to see me either? Bastard, rascal, your heart is just so bad!"

Her little fists kept pounding on Long Fei, yet her mouth was biting him, kissing him, wishing she could swallow him whole.
