Chapter 822 Yun Xiaolong: I’m Numb

　　Yun Mo and the others were experiencing a breakdown. They never dreamed that the junk in the hands of those demons would be so powerful. Heck, they were even stronger than the Fallen God Bow’s phantom. It was so illogical that they could not help but question how the world worked.

　　“No!”

　　“Fall back, now!”

　　“This group of people is weird! Run!”

　　“I don’t want to die! Spare me!”

　　“Ah, I’m dead!”

　　The three demons were like tigers entering a flock of sheep as they madly rained down their onslaughts on Yun Mo and the others. The Wild Boar Demon was knocking on a cultivator’s head with its broken pot, causing him non-stop dizziness even though he had his protective mana up. The Green Snake Demon flapped its bamboo fan, and immediately, a gust of divine wind blew against the cultivators and crushed their bones in the process.

　　“Don’t even think about escaping! We’ll spare no one!” The Black Bear Demon held up two charred logs and chased after them.

　　After a while, everything calmed down.

　　Yun Xiaolong stood there like a statue, watching Yun Mo’s group being annihilated. He found it hard to process everything that had happened so far. These demons are savage!’ He began to tremble with fear when he saw the Wild Boar Demon walking toward him.

　　“I humbly thank you for saving my life, O Demon King,” said Yun Xiaolong quickly. The Wild Boar Demon scoffed and said, “You have the same symbol as the others on your forehead, so you’ll need to die, too!”

　　He would have killed Yun Xiaolong long before this if it were not for the fact that Yun Xiaolong had tried to warn them beforehand. ‘Anyone who dares to steal the expert’s leftovers must die!’

　　Yun Xiaolong’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly explained, “No, it’s not like that. I’m not with them! Yes, we’re indeed from the same clan, but they’ve violated our ancestral teachings and betrayed the clan, so that makes them my enemies!”

　　“I see.” The Black Bear Demon nodded and then asked, “Why are they chasing you?”

　　“They’ve imprisoned the other clansmen and I was sent away by the clan’s chief. I came to the Ancient Forbidden Area to find the whereabouts of the Overlord,” answered Yun Xiaolong.

　　“You came to the Ancient Forbidden Area to find your Overlord? Is your Overlord a fellow countryman of ours?” asked the Green Snake Demon curiously.

　　“I guess you can put it that way…” Yun Xiaolong gave a wry smile. Then, he said cautiously, “Strictly speaking, the Overlord was one of the group members who created the Ancient Forbidden Area…”

　　Immediately, Yun Xiaolong gave them a detailed account of his Overlord and what he said shocked the three demons.

　　“Wow, your Overlord sounds like one heck of a guy! His origin story sounds very amazing!”

　　“That must mean your Overlord must have something to do with the seven Battle Spirit Guardians.”

　　“The Heavenly Palace did say that we should notify them if we find any information on the Battle Spirit Guardians. I never expected it to come our way though.”

　　The three demons exchanged a look with each other and decided there and then to bring Yun Xiaolong to the Heavenly Palace. Along the way, they drank the dishwashing water they collected and were immensely satisfied with it. Although the taste of the food had been diluted, it was still delicious and it also contained a great fortune.

　　Yun Xiaolong took a gulp subconsciously when he saw the way they were enjoying the water. He asked, “My Lords, just what exactly is that divine water?”

　　The Black Bear Demon smiled and said solemnly, “Don’t be shocked when I tell you its origin, but this is the dishwashing water from the expert.”

　　“Dishwashing…water?” stammered Yun Xiaolong. He was even more confused than before.

　　“The expert’s having a party in the sky. You can’t even imagine all the food they’re serving. This water is just the water they used to wash the dishes,” said the Green Snake Demon with a smile.

　　Boom! Yun Xiaolong’s mind instantly exploded into nothingness. He felt dizzy and could not believe what he was hearing. The divine water was really treated as dishwashing water. In other words, the food that was served at the party would be infinitely more powerful than the water! He could not help but wonder who the amazing expert they were referring to was. How extravagant of him to serve food like that.

　　“Is that really true?” he asked in disbelief.

　　The Black Bear Demon burst out in laughter and said, “Hahaha! I knew you wouldn’t believe it! After all, it’s beyond what one can imagine.” Then his tone changed into one of pious reverence. “The expert’s extraordinariness isn’t for the likes of us to imagine. You saw the treasures that we used earlier, right? Those were actually discarded by the expert.”

　　Yun Xiaolong gasped and felt like he was about to blackout. He suddenly had an urge to live like the demons, spending their days picking up discarded items and drinking dishwashing water. Along the way, he lost his ability to think and was just mindlessly following the three demons to the Southern Sky Gate. Juling Shen was there as usual, and after reporting their purpose for coming, the Heavenly Palace arranged for a table in the corner for them.

　　“I’m sorry but the party just ended. I hope you don’t mind but all that’s left is some wine,” said Yang Jing with a smile.

　　“That’s more than enough! This is way better than what I could ever hope for,” said the Wild Boar Demon excitedly. He was so happy that his eyes turned into slits.

　　The Black Bear Demon kept swallowing his saliva while wringing his hands. “You’re too kind, Yang Jing. Don’t mind if we do.”

　　They never thought that they would be able to gain something out of it by bringing Yun Xiaolong there, and were sure that what little wine they consumed would bring them to a new height. As for Yun Xiaolong, he was already numb.

　　“Oh my god, this was the wine that was served at the party? I can feel a terrifying power of Wisdom contained in it. A whiff of it is equivalent to ten thousand years of enlightenment.’ All his doubt from before had been wiped away. His eyes had been opened by the high-end party.

　　He glanced at Li Nianfan for a second and not longer. ‘Is that the expert? He looks friendly enough.’

　　“You’ve earned great merits for bringing him over,” said Yang Jing. Then, he glanced at Yun Xiaolong and continued, “Out of the seven Battle Spirit Guardians, one is in the expert’s backyard and another at the foot of the mountain. We’re trying our best to look for the other five. Besides, Senior Stele has entrusted us with the task of saving the other Battle Spirit Guardians. It’s just that…”

　　Yang Jing’s face revealed some doubt as he asked, “Weren’t the Battle Spirit Guardians captured by the Heaven Plundering Alliance?”

　　Originally, they planned to go to the Heaven Plundering Alliance after the party to save the stele’s third brother.

　　“To tell you the truth, a rebel from our clan had stolen the Fallen God Bow from the Heaven Plundering Alliance. Not only that, he managed to get his hands on the Fallen God Arrow, too. With these two, he plans to enter the ancestral land of my clan!” answered Yun Xiaolong honestly.
