Just Wanting to Live a Good Life, but Surpassing the Protagonist – 58 Unknown Person

The atmosphere became tense.

After a moment of silence, the graceful figure in the tent gently caressed the purple lotus lantern that she had recalled, and spoke first, “Why don’t you become my subordinate? I happen to need someone intelligent, and it doesn’t matter if you’re not a demon clan. As long as you agree to my conditions, I can forgive you for your previous offenses.”

Ye Yong caught onto this word. Monsters who transformed into humans wouldn’t call themselves Monsters unless they reached the Void Core mid-level and completely refined and purified their beast blood. The other party definitely hadn’t reached the Void Core mid-level, but she said that it didn’t matter if Ye Yong wasn’t a demon clan, which meant that she was speaking from the perspective of a demon clan.

The Black Water Secret Realm was not the only killing zone. There were quite a few others scattered throughout the Five Continents of the Lower Realm. According to the description in the novel, this kind of secret realm was created by the demon clan saints for their descendants… In the past, Ye Yong would have considered the monsters as descendants, but now that the monsters had appeared, he felt that it was more likely that it was prepared specifically for the descendants of the monsters .

It was equivalent to the king letting his descendants serve as the lords of a certain city, creating and developing their own armies. The secret realm was the territory, and the monsters were the army soldiers.

After all, in the middle of the story line, there would be an event where the demon saints and saints competed for the position of demon king. This made perfect sense.

Could she be a certain demon saint? Was there a demon beast in the secret realm with a cultivation level similar to hers, who was there to spur her so that she wouldn’t indulge in power and would be more motivated to improve, Lest they be surpassed by monsters with inferior bloodlines?

In the novel, after the protagonist escaped from the Black Water Secret Realm, everything related to it was glossed over. It was said that it was annihilated, but did the Huashen powerhouses of the Tianluo Sect really kill all the monsters without leaving a single one? Were there no remnants that escaped through hidden passages?

This was a matter of detail. The novel didn’t mention it, but it didn’t mean that it wouldn’t happen in reality.

And speaking of the Demon Saints, there were quite a few of them in the plot. Two of them became female leads, while the rest were villains.

Was the one in front of him a demon saint or an ordinary demon daughter? If she was a saint, was she a female lead or a villain? Ye Yong didn’t know. If he could know her name, it would be easier to deal with. But in the current situation, it would be impossible to suddenly ask her name, right? Now was the time for a battle of words. He couldn’t change the topic, as doing so would be seen as a lack of confidence. Ye Yong needed to show absolute toughness now, to trick the other party into thinking that he wasn’t at a disadvantage.

With such a flawless performance, the graceful figure in the tent was indeed unable to see through Ye Yong. At this time, a flying device flew in front of Ye Yong. Only then did the surrounding monsters react. It seemed that there was a very high-level blinding circle. If they didn’t pay close attention, they wouldn’t be able to discover it at all.

No wonder they hadn’t been able to find the immortal body or the holy body for so many days. The secret realm was so big, and with such a blinding circle, it would be a miracle if they could find them.

“A Foundation Establishment, two Crystallization. Because of these three humans, not only did more than 100,000 demon beasts die, even a demon king like Hei Feng was defeated…” The graceful figure murmured to herself, pondering how to keep Ye Yong and the others.

Ye Yong secretly sent a voice transmission to Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou, telling them to try their best not to be discovered and to use their magic weapons to open the exit of the restriction. As for him, he held the magic weapon that had run out of uses and kept playing with it, his gaze sweeping around as if searching for a target to attack, attracting the attention of the monsters.

The atmosphere became tense again.

Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou were intelligent female leads. Even if they didn’t know Ye Yong’s true condition now, they wouldn’t ask too many questions. Just like how they hadn’t hesitated to enter the circle of monsters in the flying device earlier, they wouldn’t question Ye Yong’s arrangements now.

After going through life-and-death battles together, the two girls had developed a kind of tacit understanding. They covered for each other, pretending to land on the ground and searching for any materials from the dead monsters, while secretly activating the magic weapons that Ye Yong had given them.

“If your kind can’t work for me, I can’t let you live, even if it costs me dearly.” Quanying hesitated for a long while before finally making up her mind. “All monsters listen up, capture these three humans.”

The hierarchy among monsters was very clear. For an existence at Quanying’s level, a late-stage Yao King, even if they knew they would die, they had to obey her orders. Not to mention that she wasn’t just any monsters , but a pure-blooded Yao.

Escape? It was possible outside, but not in this secret realm. Where could they escape to? Wouldn’t they still die if they were caught in the end? Death was inevitable. It might even be less painful to be killed instantly by Ye Yong’s Nascent Soul attack.

The monsters all started to approach aggressively.

“Good! Let’s do this!” Ye Yong forced himself to keep his hands from trembling, putting on a look of excitement as he raised the empty shell of his artifact.

When the monster saw the ‘magic treasure’ in Ye Yong’s hand, and recalled how their Lord Hei Feng had been reduced to ashes by that tiny magic treasure, they couldn’t help but feel terrified. They hesitated and retreated.

It was this hesitation that gave the artifact time to break the seal. A burst of light flashed.

Just when the monster thought that Ye Yong was preparing to unleash another heaven-defying attack and dodged out of the way, they saw Ye Yong, sitting on his little magic carpet, swooping down and scooping up Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou, who were pretending to search the ground. With a whoosh, they passed through the exit that had previously been sealed by the ban.

“See you later, suckers.” Before his figure completely disappeared, he even left behind a sentence that would infuriate the monster.

The monster looked at each other, and Quanying, who was behind the veil, was also stunned for a moment before she realized something. “Quick, chase them!”

The monster rushed forward, but the exit remained closed. To open it, they needed to lift the ban.

“What kind of magic weapon did he use? It can actually ignore the prohibition that my ancestors set up and pass through it directly? Quanying was very puzzled, and also very annoyed. She had actually been bluffed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

“I should have realized it earlier!” Quanying carefully recalled the conversation just now. She felt that if Ye Yong was truly capable, he would have launched a few more attacks and killed some monsters to boost his momentum. The fact that he didn ‘t do so meant that his magic treasure was close to its limit, or even completely unusable.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

“Miss, what should we do now?” the maid asked.

“What else can we do? This place has been exposed. There will definitely be powerful humans attacking it later. Let’s retreat.”

“How could this be? Miss worked so hard to set up all sorts of rules, and this place was finally starting to show some promise…” “All our hard work is going to be wasted.”

“It’s all my bad luck. I ran into such a strange human. And I took over this place too late. That old fool Hei Feng kept getting in my way. There’s no great loss in abandoning this place. Let those who are willing to leave with us do so. We don’t need to bother with those fools who are stuck in their ways and think this place is still safe.”

“Yes.”

After arranging the important matters, Quanying glanced at the exit of the secret realm again. “Human, I don’t know your name, but I’ll remember your appearance. Don’t ever let me see you again.”
