Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 80: Thunder Roaring Palace's Yang Yuan (1)

Note: Bracket italic sentences meant it was executed in a different language

(Speak, human with our Demon Tongue. Where did you learn our language?) The leader of Crimson Battle Wolf shows a hint of interest in Qin Lan. If it were to count the number of cultivators it swallowed, there's not one amongst them able to speak like Qin Lan.

Furthermore, Qin Lan's proficiency isn't lower than the Crimson King either.

Unlike mankind, the demonic language that belonged to the Yao Beast came into their mind naturally when they obtained a consciousness. It was similar to Qin Lan's activation of his past memories after reincarnation.

(Would you believe me if I say I'm the first Supreme Emperor's mentor?) Qin Lan replied. But the moment he finished his words, the Crimson King laughed.

The laugh sounded like the Crimson King is choked on some bone shards to the others.

(Funny human. It's been over two hundred years since I've met such a funny one. Now, give me a reason why my grandchildren and I shouldn't devour all of you here) the Crimson King stomped the ground to create a shockwave to warn the Peak Bone Reconstruction Layer Cultivator nearby.

Struggling, Qin Lan used all his might to distributes all his Spiritual Energy to resist the pressure created by the leader of Crimson Battle Wolf. A layer of a shield made from fifteen thousand Spiritual Qi Force soon protects Qin Lan from the mental attack.

Even the expert in Bone Reconstruction Layer is surprised by Qin Lan's Spiritual Energy. To think that he actually has three times more Spiritual Energy more than an average fifth-level cultivator made the expert somewhat jealous of Qin Lan's luck.

But instead of attacking the Crimson King, Qin Lan reached his hand on the Qiankun Pouch by his waist. A little Spiritual Energy is inserted to withdraw some meat out of the pouch.

(Oh? Looks like you're well prepared. Now you're making me drool) the Crimson King sniffed the piece of Rock Demon Boar's meat in Qin Lan's hand. After being processed by Lu Qing Yun using the method Qin Lan taught her, it became irresistible to the Crimson Battlewolves.

That's because after consuming the Fruit of Tranquility, Qin Lan and the others had the smell of their blood and flesh masked with a familiar scent. In exchange, the Rock Demon Boar's meat is purposely processed to make it more irresistible to divert their carnal attention.

This is how the knowledge from the Department of Peace and Turbulence was used to benefit mankind.

Extending its tongue out, the Crimson King swallowed the meat in a bite after pulling it into its mouth. As the leader of the pack, being the first one to eat was its sole privilege.

"Twice! A - Day!"

"You have... Four... Days!"

The leader of Crimson Battlewolves then started to use the human tongue to speak. After looking around at the other cultivators, the Crimson King took its leave.

The remaining Crimson Battlewolves then came to Qin Lan's side as they fought for the remaining meat pieces Qin Lan scattered to the ground afterward.

It was a peaceful exchange for the human cultivators as no blood has been shed between them and the Yao Beast.

...

...

...

That night, everyone praised Qin Lan as a hero.

That's also the first time they witness the exchange between a human and Yao Beast striking up a deal. Although Demon Soldier wasn't a rare case here, one capable of speech and developed its own consciousness is definitely a difficult target.

"Alchemist Qin, please give us an order! We'll make sure to accomplish what you need without question!" some of the experts offered a hand to Qin Lan without asking for a return.

It somewhat made Sun Wu Jian jealous because even he hardly obtained their respect to this level. But the jealousy within him wasn't fueled by hatred nor lust, but respect.

In the path of virtuous sovereignty, respect was indeed worthy of envy.

"Should I call him teacher as well?" Sun Wu Jian chuckled as he stares at Qin Lan from afar. Thinking about the Fruit of Tranquility, Medicinal Pills, and even the jar of wine in his hand, he's wondering about what else Qin Lan knows.

Only Li Dan and Wang Xun are indifferent towards Qin Lan as they were inside the mine when the encounter with the Crimson King happened.

**Xiu!!!**

A whistling tone alarmed Huang Ping as he quickly replies with his own whistle. After a few exchanges, Huang Ping's face changed.

"Your highness... The Kuanglei Province's soldier and Evil Infant Sect's members make contact. They're... Together..." Huang Ping's expression is solemn. It was never a good thing to have two enemies combined into one.

"Are they coming in our direction?" Sun Wu Jian asked. How can he give up this location right now? Especially when the deal between them and the Crimson Battlewolves is still valid?

"Four days... Four days is all we need! Rest time is over, everyone. Continue to mine the Precelestial Essence Ore while you can!" Sun Wu Jian clenched his fist together as he made a cruel decision that might endanger everyone here.

...

...

"Captain, we found something odd near the border." a pair of scouts from the Kuanglei Province's troops reported to their higher-up about a weird incident.

"What's wrong?" the captain pulled a piece of meat from the cooked ribs on his hand as he replies. Located by his side is an Offensive Treasure of the top Huang-Grade.

"Recently, there's been less Rock Demon Boar and Flameless Lizard Demon Beast loitering there. Do you think we should patrol that area more?" the scouts brought up the detail about the decreasing of Yao Beast around that area.

"Maybe the Black Wind Bandits is out of food? We've hardly seen any of the bandits coming into town recently, correct?" the captain tossed the bone away and reached for another rib as he replies to the scout's concern.

"That's true... It's been two days that there's not a single person coming out from the old mine. Don't tell me something happened to them?" one of the scouts said. As the scouts who survey the area around there, it is normal for them to be bribed with a few pocket changes.

"Well, maybe the Crimson Battlewolves suddenly get hungry and decided to eat a few of them. Organize a team of fifty soldiers and go have a look. At the same time, send someone to their stronghold and ask if they changed their supply route." the captain said.

"Yes, sir!" the two scouts left the captain's tent after receiving their instructions.
