Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill

Chapter 591: Chapter 307: Deception and Cunning (Request for Monthly Votes)_3

Actually, Li Yunjing knew that he had value to be used. If there was real danger, there would be no need to ask; the demon king would proactively tell him. Right now, he just needed an excuse to dig for more information!

Sometimes, when people tell you useless things, you must not regard them as useless. They have their own purposes!

As expected, hearing Li Yunjing’s question, the demon king responded, "No problem, this path is very safe, as long as you don’t court death yourself by picking the flowers and grass along the way."

"Uh..."

Hearing the demon king’s words, Li Yunjing was speechless. It seemed that his stealing behavior had all been seen by this demon king.

In that case, the people behind him should also be within his sight?

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing felt a bit nervous. He asked, "Where are the people chasing me from behind?"

"Hmm! One batch of people behind you has reached the second checkpoint and is currently studying the third checkpoint. The other batch, consisting of eight Golden Core Realm cultivators, has just broken through the first checkpoint!"

At this, the demon king seemed a bit anxious and urged, "Hurry up and help me break the seal!"

Hearing the demon king’s words, Li Yunjing was stunned. Eight Golden Core Realm cultivators were behind him!

Where did these people come from?

Could they all be elders from the "Louguan Dao" sect?

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing’s face changed color, and he quickened his pace, walking towards the third courtyard as the demon king instructed.

The demon king was eager to escape, evidently because of those eight Golden Core Realm cultivators!

If those Golden Core Realm cultivators reached here, the demon king might still have a fighting chance if he could escape. If he couldn’t, then he would be doomed.

The better outcome would be to be captured and enslaved as a spirit beast; the worse outcome would be to be killed on the spot, with all his flesh and bones refined, leaving not even a hair behind.

The demon king was as nervous as he was, which was his opportunity!

Walking into the third courtyard, Li Yunjing came to understand this reasoning. Upon entering, he said, "Senior, I don’t know what those chasing me are after! But it certainly won’t end well for me! Do you have a way to deal with them?"

"Hmm! You just need to release me. I will retrieve my master’s magical treasure and activate part of the array. These people may not be able to do anything to me!"

The demon king responded, its voice seemingly quite urgent.

"Fine! At that time, aside from the promised treasure, I hope you can look after me. Those people will kill me for the treasure!"

Li Yunjing continued to probe.

"Easy! Easy! Just hurry up!"

The demon king replied impatiently.

Entering the third courtyard, Li Yunjing followed the demon king’s directions and saw a large garden. The trees, flowers, and plants here were all tier-three and even tier-four spiritual objects!

"Phew..."

Li Yunjing let out a long breath. The temptations here were too great, even he had a hard time resisting. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

If it weren’t for a bit of rationality left, he would have released all his puppet mechanism beasts to frantically pick everything here.

"Hurry! Don’t look at those! They all have powerful forbidden techniques. Even Golden Core Realm cultivators, if touched, would be instantly killed!"

Seeing Li Yunjing distracted, the demon king immediately and impatiently reminded him.

"All right!"

Forcing down his greed, Li Yunjing quickened his pace significantly, arriving outside a fence charging with electrical arcs. Inside the fence was a cave inlaid in a stone wall.

Inside was pitch black, and Li Yunjing couldn’t see what kind of demon beast was inside.

"Whoosh..."

As soon as Li Yunjing appeared outside the fence, a golden light flashed inside the cave, and a monkey radiating golden light rushed out.

"Clatter..."

This monkey’s aura was strong and terrifying, making Li Yunjing change color.

He had encountered some Golden Core Realm cultivators, some were peak experts, and this golden monkey’s aura seemed no different from those peak experts!

This was a demon beast of the seventh, eighth, or ninth layer of the Golden Core Realm!

This was Li Yunjing’s assessment!

Of course, this assessment was not accurate!

Li Yunjing’s cultivation level was too low, and because this monkey was too strong, he couldn’t truly assess how powerful it was.

"Senior, is it you?"

Li Yunjing asked.

"Indeed! It’s me! Follow my instructions to unlock the fence from the outside!"

The monkey urgently ordered without wasting words.

"Okay! How do I unlock it?"

Li Yunjing nodded and still asked.

"See this lock? I will now teach you a spell to unlock it. From the outside, you can easily open the gate lock!"

The monkey pointed to the lock on the fence gate and spoke to Li Yunjing.

Indeed, following the monkey’s instructions, Li Yunjing saw a seven-star diagram lock on the gate with seven slots he didn’t know how to arrange.

Could this monkey remember the unlocking method?

Concerned for his safety, Li Yunjing immediately voiced his doubts.

"Of course! Years ago, the master’s servant would come to deliver food every ten days or so, unlocking the gate each time. I remember it clearly. If I could open it from inside, I would have been out long ago!"

The monkey said confidently.

"Hmm! Senior, are you sure there’s no problem? Who exactly is the master here?"

Upon understanding what he needed to do, Li Yunjing’s anxiety waned, and he slowly asked.

"Hmm?"

The monkey, being an exceptionally intelligent demon beast and a demon king with high cultivation, was very smart and not inferior to human sages. It instantly realized this human wasn’t so easy to fool.
