Chapter 263: Emperor Ming’s Tomb


    Master, where are we going?


    The pig demon came back carrying the tool bag Li Mo sent him for.


    Grave robbing.


    Whose grave?


    Emperor Mings grave.


    Emperor Ming? Which one? You dont mean the founding emperor of the Rising Sun Empire are you?


    The one and only.


    ng!


    The pig dropped the tool bag in fright.


    Master, youre strong and fearless, but I am just a poor pig. Peacock King doesnt fear the Rising Sun Empire, but I do. Where the Ming family points, only death follows. Ill die if I go around digging out the tomb of their ancestor!


    I beg you, master, spare me! I have a family to support


    If you want to live, I suggest you do what I say. If not, I can help send you on your way after your bird brother.


    The pig picked up the tool bag in a panic and zipped his yap.


    Two humans and one demon traveled for the better part of the day, leaving civilization far behind anding upon a dense qi and wild mountain.


    Master, this is thend of the demon race. It doesnt have demon kings, but still has around a hundred high demons. The humans and demons have an agreement as well. Demons can go as they please in humannds, but not the other way around.


    Li Mo said, Isnt me getting into trouble your biggest wish?


    Master, youre suck aedian The pig smiled.


    After traveling for a day, Li Mo got to know the pig demon better. He wasnt named Zhu(T/N: lit. pig), but Fang Dongpi. To humans, this name was unappealing while to demons, quite fancy.


    Per pig demons words, his name in the demonnguage tranted to ascendant.


    Yan Wenjing asked, Flying Pig, do you demons live like humans, in societies, or scattered?


    Miss Yan, I am called Fang Dongpi, not Flying Pig. The pig exined.


    We demons have cities as well, but not here. This is a ce to cultivate, with each of us living on their own with this purpose in mind.


    Demons only believe in might is right. The high demons take the best cultivation spots while the low ones the poorer ones. High demons can roam around freely while the low ones need to exercise caution. I am one of those low demons.


    Also, demons pay a greater importance on bloodlines than humans. We arent like you, so that even civilians could get a great constitution. Only high demons descendants with pure bloodlines can rise in ranks. Those like me, who have no one of note in their bloodline, have no hope of rising above their ranks.


    There are four bloodlines we, the demons from the East, respect the most. Golden Lion Kings, Silver Flood Dragon Kings, Peacock Kings, and Chaos Lotus. But for the Chaos Lotus, it has been millions of years since a pure descendant appeared. Therefore, only the three strong bloodlines remain.


    The pig demons forte wasnt his strength, but knowledge. He not only knew the three demon kings like the back of the hand, but showed knowledge even about the human race.


    Not that Li Mo didnt know this already.


    Since the past Li Mo lived on Imperial for two hundred years, wandering through every area on it, you could say he was a walking encyclopedia of thiss secrets.


    Whoosh~


    Four ck figures flew from the forest and into their path.


    They all were humanoids with animal heads. There was a bear demon, tiger, panther, and fox.


    Here be thends of the Great Horse King. Whoever dares step through shall die!


    The pig demon shrank behind Li Mo with a squeal, Master, Great Horse King is the strongest demon on this mountain.


    Li Mo shook his head, Never heard of him.


    Li Mo knew of the three great kings of the demon race, but knew nothing of some Great Horse King.


    The pig said, He is very strong. I think its best we dont offend him.


    The bear roared, Pig, why are you with the humans? Leave them, or die!


    I I


    The pig was put on the spot, while Li Mo acted swiftly.


    Boom~


    He dished out four punches and the demons copsed.


    They were stronger than the pig, in the sixth level, so Li Mos instant Earth Fist couldnt leave a hole in their chests.


    The bear cried, Thats Dongfang ns Tyrant Fist! Youre from the Dongfang n?


    Man from Dongfang n, everyone is minding their business. Why are you barging into ournds?


    Im only going to say this once. One, Im not from Dongfang n, and two, Im passing through.


    The demons looked at each other.


    Fox demon gathered her courage, So you didnte to kill us?


    The fox demon was a female, but her body was that of an average human.


    Pig said, Of course. Master is only passing through, understand? So step aside.


    Whoosh~


    The demons withdrew.


    The two humans and a demon resumed their trek, but just after a half an hour, with a mighty noise, a wicked wind blew. The earth was shaking and the sky was changing, as if it was doomsday.


    I, Great Horse King cultivated for a million years and am the unquestionable ruler among demons. When Goldy, Silvey, and Birdie all call me Ancestor Horse, what gives you, puny humans, the gal to harm my men?


    A huge horse head appeared in the sky. Every snort of his sent the earth shaking.


    Great Horse King! The pig was shivering to his knees.


    Li Mo nced at the horsey in the sky, I already told your men that Im only passing through. What, now you came to look for trouble?


    Look for trouble? This is my domain! I am the strongest demon king. Youe into mynds and not even extend a greeting but beat my men instead. Do you think Ill let you go just like that?


    You want to fight? Come on then.


    Li Mo flew straight for him.


    Stop! The huge horse head shouted.


    Li Mo did so, looking shocked.


    Are you that clueless about the rules?


    What rules?


    I just introduced myself. Shouldnt you do the same?


    Which of the tree ns do you belong to?


    Neither.


    You have no backing? The horse head was surprised.


    None whatsoever.


    Come on, think hard!


    Theres no need to. I dont have a backing, just your average human.


    The huge horse shook his head, I dont believe it. My men said you used Dongfang ns Tyrant Fist!


    It is not. The fist I use is far stronger than their Tyrant Fist!


    The horse heads eyes glinted, So, the Dongfang n is far beneath you?


    That is one way of putting it. Li Mo nodded.


    Li Mo used Earth Fist, while Dongfang ns Tyrant Fists true name was human boxing. The heaven, earth, and human fists were ssified from strongest to weakest.


    Dongfang n are weaker than you and you say you have no background?


    Greetings honored and mystery guest that is stronger than Dongfang n! The huge horse head shouted.


    Greetings honored guest!


    The clouds scattered and a hundred demons weed Li Mo.


    Li Mo was stunned, Yan Wenjing was shocked, and the pig was practically having a nervous breakdown.


    Whats with all this?


    Tap~


    A grand and strong horse came from among the demons and gestured.


    Let me guide honorable guest to my dueling. Let me serve as your host!
