Xu Fang intended to investigate the situation of these demons alone, but Martial Star was taken aback. “Lord Xu, your strength is indeed formidable, but there are hordes of demons below—there must be tens of thousands! You cannot venture into danger. If you must go, allow me to accompany you!”
“It’s fine. You all stay here. You know the Divine Strategy Camp better than I do, so remain with the soldiers. Besides, would I risk my life for a jest?”
As he spoke, Xu Fang transformed into a fierce tiger demon king with a human form, suppressing his celestial aura instantly.
His substantial cultivation as a Supreme Golden Immortal was now compressed to that of a Celestial Immortal.
To anyone unfamiliar, they would only see a small demon king of the Celestial Immortal realm.
“Lord Xu's transformation technique is truly marvelous! If I didn’t know better, I’d think a tiger demon had infiltrated our Divine Strategy Camp!”
Martial Star marveled at Xu Fang’s prowess in transformation, feeling more reassured that not challenging Xu Fang’s abilities at that moment had been wise.
Given his own cultivation, he couldn’t detect even the slightest flaw in Xu Fang’s disguise, leading him to conclude that Xu Fang must have mastered various techniques to perfection.
“Martial Star, you all shall hold your positions and observe changes. I will find a way to infiltrate the Sea King’s Palace and gather information. Once I learn more, I will devise a plan to disrupt the palace, and you shall follow my orders to annihilate them!”
Xu Fang spoke with conviction, and Martial Star could only respond respectfully, “Yes, then we shall trouble you to take on this risk.”
With a nod, Xu Fang’s figure flickered and transformed into a streak of light racing eastward, disappearing in an instant, traveling thousands of miles away!
“Truly impressive! Lord Xu's abilities are extraordinary!”
Martial Star and the other commanders watched in awe as Xu Fang covered immense distances in mere moments.
However, one of the commanders voiced a concern, “But why is Lord Xu flying so far east...?”
Before he could finish, they suddenly saw Xu Fang, in his tiger demon form, returning alongside a leopard demon and a bear demon, all flying toward the Sea King’s Palace, chatting and laughing merrily.
“Lord Xu’s actions are truly seamless. His transformation technique alone could deceive anyone. Now, with two other demons accompanying him, he is even less likely to attract attention,”
Martial Star and the others quickly understood Xu Fang’s intent and couldn't help but feel admiration.
……
Meanwhile, Xu Fang had uncovered the situation at the Sea King’s Palace.
After flying thousands of miles, he seized an opportunity to blend in with the leopard demon and bear demon, and within moments, the three were exchanging brotherly greetings.
Stolen novel; please report.
From the conversations with these two, Xu Fang learned who the master of the Sea King’s Palace was!
The Bull Demon King!
Indeed, it was the very same Bull Demon King who had once fought Xu Fang and suffered a loss!
Back in Qingyang City, the Bull Demon King and the Roc Demon King had been devouring humans, only to be beaten up by Xu Fang. Now, having regained his strength, he had returned to his lair in the North Sea.
The current festivities at the Sea King’s Palace were directly related to the Bull Demon King’s nature.
Dragons are often lustful, and the Bull Demon King, being a branch of the dragon lineage, naturally inherited this trait. He was currently celebrating his one hundred and twentieth wedding to a concubine!
“This lecherous dragon never changes his ways!”
Xu Fang sneered inwardly. Back in Qingyang City, the Bull Demon King had a penchant for capturing human maidens, and now he was repeating his past mistakes.
However, with such a significant event, it was likely that the Bull Demon King’s sworn brothers would also show up, making things a bit tricky.
“First, let’s blend in and observe.”
Xu Fang quickly made a decision to gather more information before commanding the Divine Strategy Camp to set up an elaborate trap to capture these demons!
To be honest, he didn’t harbor any deep-seated hatred toward these demons. After all, he had never suffered any loss in his encounters with the Bull Demon King.
But then again, it was merely unfortunate timing for these demons to cross paths with him!
“Hey, Brother Black Bear, Brother Tiger King, what gifts do you plan to present to the Bull King?”
At that moment, the leopard demon asked.
The bear demon chuckled and feigned modesty, “I don’t have much on my mountain, so I found a millennium ginseng essence as a gift.”
“Gasp! A millennium ginseng essence? I bet it has already achieved human form! Show it to us!”
The leopard demon gasped in awe, and Xu Fang’s interest was piqued.
Before he crossed over, he had often heard about thousand-year and millennium ginseng; now, he was about to see an unadulterated millennium ginseng!
The bear demon was quite honest, pulling out a wooden box about a foot long, exuding spiritual energy. He opened a small gap and proudly displayed it to Xu Fang and the leopard demon.
As Xu Fang peered inside, he saw a baby dressed in a red belly-band.
The baby’s hands and feet were bound, and it was curiously gazing out with round, bright eyes.
“Wow, truly impressive!”
A glimmer of greed flashed in the leopard demon’s eyes as he licked his lips and said, “This ginseng baby is brimming with spiritual energy! If we consume it, our powers will surely increase dramatically!”
“Ha ha, such a divine treasure is meant to be presented to the Bull Demon King! Who would dare consume it?”
As he spoke, the bear demon shot a knowing glance at Xu Fang and the leopard demon.
“Of course, who else is worthy of such a treasure but the Bull King?”
Xu Fang’s heart stirred, and he nodded in agreement.
To be honest, he had already entertained the thought of snatching the baby!
However, in the blink of an eye, he reconsidered.
He suddenly realized that if this bear demon could find such a treasure in the deep mountains, then with so many demons coming to the Sea King’s Palace to celebrate, the Bull Demon King must have received a plethora of gifts!
If he could sneak into the Bull Demon King’s treasure vault, then...
“Brother Tiger, hey, Brother Tiger?”
At that moment, the leopard demon and bear demon turned to Xu Fang and asked, “Brother Tiger, what gift are you bringing for the Bull King?”
“Oh, me?”
Xu Fang quickly gathered his thoughts and replied, “My mountain is rather remote, so I couldn’t find anything good. I just brought a watermelon-sized luminous pearl for the Bull King.”
As he spoke, Xu Fang extended his right hand, blowing gently, and a large, round luminous pearl appeared in his palm, radiating light, easily the size of a watermelon and weighing dozens of pounds!
“Gasp… A luminous pearl this large? How did you find it, Brother Tiger?”
The luminous pearl was, of course, an illusion created by Xu Fang, but it was more than enough to impress these little demon kings.
“It’s just a stroke of luck…”
Xu Fang casually replied as the three of them made their way to the entrance of the Sea King’s Palace.
