Chapter 601: It Turns Out That Demonic Beasts Are So Easy to Fool (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hu Li was beaten beyond recognition by Demon King Ao and fell unconscious.
Demon King Ao merely instructed the demonic beasts to throw him aside and didn’t specially send demonic beasts to watch over him.
After all, this was Hu Li’s territory. Demon King Ao had come alone without any subordinates.
Of course, the tiger demon race was originally a va.s.sal of Demon King Ao. It was only natural for him to instruct Hu Li’s subordinates.
Now that he had left, the other Demon Kings were still discussing how to divide Hu Li’s territory and had yet to come over to deal with him.
!!
This gave Yin Chengshan a chance.
Zhou Shu had previously arranged for Zhang Chunlin and the others to leave, while Yin Chengshan, who had transformed into Yao Aotian, stayed behind.
The only reason he stayed was to wait for Zhou Shu to leave. He would find an opportunity to move the forging materials that Zhou Shu couldn’t take away.
“Lord Hu Li? Lord Hu Li!” Yin Chengshan looked around covertly and slapped Hu Li’s face.
Hu Li grunted but didn’t open his eyes.
Demon King Ao was ruthless. Even with Hu Li’s physique, he had yet to wake up.
Yin Chengshan pondered, and hesitation flashed across his face. Then he gritted his teeth, bent down, carried Hu Li on his back, and sneaked out.
Zhou Shu had given him the right to make decisions on the spot. He was now prepared to do something big.
Hu Li had been knocked unconscious by Demon King Ao. The other Demon Kings were not worried that he would wake up early, so they were naturally not worried that he would escape.
Actually, even if Hu Li could wake up early, they were not worried.
A newly-advanced Demon King, and an injured one at that, they could easily suppress him. Why would they be afraid of him?
As for whether other demonic beasts would let Hu Li go, they were even less worried.
The hierarchy in the Demon Realm was strict. No demonic beast dared to disobey a Demon King.
This was one of the reasons why Demon King Ao was so ruthless to Hu Li.
If every demonic beast dared to disobey him, Demon King Ao would lose face.
He had to make an example of someone. Hu Li was the best target!
Therefore, Yin Chengshan actually successfully took Hu Li away!
But it wasn’t that smooth.
When Yin Chengshan was about to escape with Hu Li on his back, he encountered a demonic beast.
Originally, Yin Chengshan was already prepared, but the exceptionally ugly demonic beast seemed not to see them and walked past them without looking sideways.
Not only did he walk past them, but Yin Chengshan also heard him call all the nearby demonic beasts over, opening a path for Yin Chengshan and Hu Li that was unguarded by demonic beasts.
Yin Chengshan remembered the demonic beast called Yao Jun in his heart and carried Hu Li into the forest.
It wasn’t until more than two hours after Yin Chengshan and Hu Li escaped that the few Demon Kings on the mountaintop discussed how to deal with Hu Li’s territory and the demonic beasts under him. Only then did they remember Hu Li.
“How should we deal with Hu Li?” a Demon King asked.
“Demon King Ao didn’t say to kill him, so let’s keep him for now,” another Demon King said. “Hu Li’s brain isn’t clear. Let’s lock him up for a while to wake him up. He shouldn’t think that he can immediately be on equal footing with us after reaching the Demon King realm.”
The other Demon Kings nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a Demon King frowned. “Where’s Hu Li?”
The other Demon Kings were stunned. Powerful auras surged. Then they frowned. Hu Li’s aura had disappeared!
With a flash, a few Demon Kings appeared at the same time where Hu Li had been imprisoned. The cave was already empty.
“Where are the demonic beasts?!” a Demon King shouted.
“Here.” Yao Jun appeared at the door and bowed.
“Where’s Hu Li?”
“Huh? Isn’t he here? I don’t know. Just now, you told us to leave the mountain. We just returned to listen to your orders,” Yao Jun said carefully.
The Demon Kings looked at each other and frowned.
“Looks like Hu Li woke up early. That fellow’s brain isn’t working well, but his skin is thick, and he can take a beating,” a Demon King said. “Forget it. So what if he ran away? He should stop for a while after being beaten up by Demon King Ao. Tiangou and Liu’Er are with Yao Qing. Even if he goes over, he can’t do anything.
“When he finds out the difference between him and us veteran Demon Kings, he’ll know what to do.”
Another Demon King snorted coldly. “I’ve broken through to the Demon King realm for more than a thousand years and am still keeping a low profile. He’s just a new Demon King, yet he dares to disobey Demon King Ao. He’s really courting death.”
The few Demon Kings complained for a while before throwing this matter to the back of their minds.
Speaking of which, they didn’t take this matter too seriously. After all, Hu Li was not an enemy in their opinion. He could only be considered a disobedient junior. They wouldn’t kill him. It was no big deal if he ran away.
They couldn’t even be bothered to send demonic beasts to chase after him.
Yin Chengshan didn’t know what these Demon Kings were thinking. He carried Hu Li on his back and didn’t dare to delay for a moment. He kept running forward until he was so tired that he couldn’t run anymore. Only then did he find a cave and put Hu Li down.
“Hu Li, oh Hu Li, this is the best I can do. If they really catch up, there’s nothing I can do,” Yin Chengshan muttered to himself while breathing heavily.
