Chapter 204: Incarnation (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The mist was like a veil, covering the surface of the lake.

A cool breeze blew past, causing this thin veil to slowly flow. Smoke rippled, creating a beautiful scene.

Such a wonderful scene was rare.

The Fog Ethereal Lake had lots of essence lotus flowers. This thing was born from the essence of the lake water. It was very beneficial to the Water race. Ordinary aquatic creatures could gain intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation after eating it.

On the other hand, spiritual beasts at the Spirit Awakening Stage that had already activated their intelligence could also accelerate their transformation speed after consuming the flower, allowing them to break through to the Ascension Stage earlier.

Because of this, the lotus was coveted by countless demons.

Many demon tribes even collected essence lotuses wantonly to nurture their tribesmen.

As for the Fog Ethereal Lake, which was rich in lotuses, it naturally became a treasure land that many demon tribes competed for.

Almost every day, countless demons would fight to the death around the lake.

But today was very different.

The usually noisy lake was unusually quiet today.

Not a single demon could be seen within a few kilometers of the lake, let alone on the shore.

And the reason for this was because of the majestic Flying Palace that hovered a thousand feet above the lake!

Compared to the Nine Suns Sect’s exquisite and classic Heaven’s Pivot Flying Palace, the flying palace above the lake had a more primitive and ferocious aura.

However, that didn’t mean that it was simple. The Flying Palace was also filled with carefully-designed things.

At this moment.

In the bright and spacious hall of the Flying Palace.

Dozens of strange-looking demons sat cross-legged opposite each other.

If there were human cultivators here, they would definitely be shocked.

Although the demons all had fangs, scales, and hard skin, the shape of their bodies and limbs was very similar to humans.

This meant that they were all in the late phase of the Enlightening Stage. They were only short of passing the Human Tribulation before they could shed their beast bodies and transform into human forms. From then on, they would embark on the path of cultivation.

Any one of these demons was powerful enough to be the leader of a demon tribe elsewhere.

However, in this ancient hall, they were all sitting upright with their heads lowered.

The source of their obedience was a handsome young man with exquisite features sitting on the highest seat in the hall.

The young man closed his eyes slightly and leaned against the recliner. He looked relaxed and lazy.

If not for the ferocious demons in the hall, anyone would think that he was just an ordinary young man.

The hall was silent, and the demon’s eyes were focused on their posture. Just then, a faint cracking sound came from the corner.

The demons suddenly raised their heads and looked in the direction of the noise. They saw that on a cabinet stand in a corner of the hall, a Life Spirit Talisman in the fourth row of the third column had shattered.

Seeing this, many demons paled.

“Whose life talisman is it?”

The young man asked leisurely from the seat of honor.

A demon general at the front stepped forward and answered respectfully, “My lord, it’s Wu Jing’s!”

“Which demon race is he in charge of?”

“It’s Lin Chong and Mo Zhao from Green Reed Pond. Both of them are only at the middle phase of the Enlightening Stage!”

After a pause, the demon general added,

“My lord, although Wu Jing isn’t the most powerful one among us, two middle-phase Enlightening Stage demons couldn’t have handled him either. Something must have happened!”

The young man slowly opened his eyes. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

“We’ll know if something went wrong when we go and take a look.”

The demon general immediately cupped his hands and said, “I’ll accept the task!”

The young man smiled faintly. “No, I’m going to make the trip myself.”

The demon general was stunned, and so were the other demons.

They wanted to stop him, but before they could speak, they were stopped by the youth.

“I’ve already made up my mind. There’s no need to say anything else. Besides, I’m not really leaving the palace.”

Upon hearing this, the demons suddenly remembered the young man’s ability, so they shut their mouths and didn’t say anything else.

The young man smiled. He didn’t make any movements, but an identical figure suddenly appeared out of the blud beside him.

Apart from a slightly dazed expression and lifeless eyes, this figure’s facial features, build, and demeanor were exactly the same as that of the young man. It was difficult to tell one from the other.

“Go.” The young man waved his hand.

“Wu Luo” nodded stiffly. He took a step forward and instantly disappeared like a phantom.

“You’re in trouble.”

The red fox spoke slowly.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a mountain creek flowing.

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows slightly. He wasn’t all that surprised that the red fox could speak human language.

He had already guessed that this red fox wasn’t an ordinary demon.

If ordinary fox demons appeared in the Great Swamp of the West, they would have long been captured and stewed by the ferocious Water race. How could they appear in front of him alive and kicking?

The red fox was at least at the Enlightening Stage.

Lin Shen’s mind raced, but his expression remained unchanged. He asked, “What trouble do I have?”

“Earlier, you killed Demon General Wu Jing, who was under the command of the King Snakehead, or Wu Li, the lord of the Mystic Stele Lake,” said the fox.

Lin Shen narrowed his eyes.

Did this scarlet fox see how he killed Wu Jing just now?

However, Lin Shen immediately felt relieved.

He was already at the Bright Aperture Stage now. Even if someone saw his clone, he could use his spells as an excuse. There was no need to guard his secret like before.

“The Mystical Stele Lake is more than 300 km away from here.”

Lin Shen wasn’t worried at all about the so-called King Snakehead.

By the time Wu Li knew that his subordinates had been killed, Lin Shen would have already run far away.

No matter how powerful Wu Li was, would he be able to find Lin Shen in the vast swamp?

Perhaps he could, but he would definitely have to pay a considerable price..
