“Why are you here?” Yang Kai stared at Bai Zhuo in shock. Wasn’t this guy supposed to be in the Star Boundary? Why would he suddenly appear here?
Bai Zhuo turned around and sat down on a rattan chair. The middle-aged Demon King immediately walked over and respectfully poured him a glass of blood wine.
Bai Zhuo gently swirled the transparent wine glass in his hand, causing it to ripple like fresh blood, releasing an enchanting fragrance as he smiled and said, “I am one of the supervisors of this Blood Fighting Pit, so naturally I can be here.”
Yang Kai’s jaw dropped even further, “You’re Yu Ru Meng’s subordinate!”
Yu Rumeng had told him before that the entire Demon Territory was like a broken mirror with countless fragmented continents. Each of the twelve Demon Saints controlled a number of fragmented continents, and each of them had a number of Half-Saints.
Only now did he realize that Bai Zhuo was also one of Yu Rumeng’s Half-Saint subordinates. It was no wonder he had recognized Yu Rumeng at the city wall.
On the side, the middle-aged Demon King’s eyelids couldn’t help twitching when he heard this, thinking to himself that this human was truly audacious. Not only did he call Bai Zhuo by his name, but he even dared to call the Saint Venerable's name. This time, there would be a good show to watch. Perhaps Lord Bai Zhuo didn’t care about what he said before, but if he dared to act so disrespectfully towards a Saint Venerable, even if this human didn’t die, he would be skinned alive.
However, to his disappointment, Bai Zhuo did not respond at all, as if he had not heard Yang Kai’s blasphemous words towards the Saint Venerable.
“That’s right!” Bai Zhuo smiled and nodded, “This Bai is one of the many Half-Saint subordinates of the Saint Venerable.”
“I understand,” Yang Kai smiled and sat down on the chair next to him, smiling at him, “Did you just say you were one of the Blood Fighting Pit’s supervisors?”
Bai Zhuo smiled and nodded.
“Then that’s easy,” Yang Kai raised his hand and pointed at the middle-aged Demon King, “This guy owes me a billion demon crystals, yet he still dares to try to take my prize. Tell me what to do.”
Right now, he had nothing to fear. Most of the Demon Territory’s people probably didn’t know about his relationship with Yu Rumeng and only knew that he was a human brought back from the Star Boundary by the Saint Venerable, so they weren’t afraid of him. However, Bai Zhuo had returned from the Star Boundary, so he should more or less know how much Yu Rumeng valued him. Since that was the case, it was naturally not a problem to use his tiger skin as a flag.
Moreover, since Bai Zhuo had appeared at this time, he must have some understanding of today’s events, so there was no need for him to explain too much.
Sure enough, Bai Zhuo put down the wine cup in his hand and looked up at the middle-aged Demon King indifferently, “Is that true?”
The middle-aged Demon King immediately said, “This is pure nonsense, I beg Sir to ignore this person’s nonsense.”
Yang Kai slapped the table and stood up, “Damn it, you dare lie through your teeth?”
The middle-aged Demon King glanced at Yang Kai and said, “This King is just following the rules.” Turning to Bai Zhuo, he cupped his hands and said, “Sir, the situation is like this. This Brother Yang participated in a chaotic battle and bet a hundred million demon crystals on himself. Although he won in the end, according to this subordinate’s investigation, this Brother Yang doesn’t have a hundred million demon crystals on him. According to the rules of the Blood Fighting Pit, this subordinate doesn’t need to pay the one billion demon crystals, and the prize doesn’t count.”
Bai Zhuo nodded, “Indeed.”
Yang Kai glared at Bai Zhuo, wondering if he was just here to watch the show.
The middle-aged Demon King was overjoyed when he saw this and cupped his hands again, “Sir, this person has ulterior motives and intends to violate the rules of my Blood Fighting Pit. If we don’t punish him severely, I’m afraid the reputation of the Blood Fighting Pit will be destroyed. Sir, please allow this subordinate to punish this person in order to maintain the prestige of the Blood Fighting Pit and the Saint Venerable!”
Hearing this, Yang Kai was a bit dumbfounded, thinking to himself that this guy really had a sharp tongue. A bet had actually been raised to the level of Yu Rumeng’s prestige, making him speechless.
“It’s not that serious,” Bai Zhuo laughed before turning to the middle-aged Demon King and asking, “Did you check his Space Ring and confirm that he didn’t have a hundred million demon crystals?”
The middle-aged Demon King replied, “No, but since this person refused to cooperate, it seems he doesn’t have that many Demon Crystals.”
Bai Zhuo nodded, “It seems the problem lies with the hundred million demon crystals.” Turning to Yang Kai, he asked, “Do you have a hundred million demon crystals? If you do, just take them out for him to inspect.”
Yang Kai wanted to spit on his face, wondering how he could have gotten a hundred million demon crystals. If he had, he would have taken it out a long time ago. Wasn’t he just asking the obvious? Just as he was feeling indignant, he saw Bai Zhuo wink at him and glance at his hand before slowly picking up his wine glass and taking a sip of his wine. He even deliberately pointed his Space Ring at Yang Kai. This gentle and elegant demeanor, coupled with his handsome face, made Xiao Wu’s eyes go wide.
Yang Kai stared blankly for a moment before suddenly smiling and extending his hand towards Bai Zhuo, “I remember now, Brother Bai. The hundred million demon crystals you borrow me last time should be returned to me.”
Bai Zhuo almost spat out his wine as he stared at Yang Kai in shock. He really wanted to ask him, when did I borrow a hundred million demon crystals from you?
His original intention was to ask Yang Kai to borrow a hundred million demon crystals from him, since he would be able to return it later. Who would have thought that Yang Kai would not act according to the rules and instead use such a method to borrow and return it?
The middle-aged Demon King’s eyes also widened as he stared at Yang Kai and then at Bai Zhuo, thinking to himself that it was impossible.
“Haha…” Bai Zhuo forced out a smile, put down his wine glass, clenched his fists, and coughed dryly. The corner of his eyes glanced towards Yang Kai, wanting to get up and leave, no longer caring about Yang Kai’s trivial matters. Such a shameless person was something he had never seen before, but now that things had come to this, he could only follow up, “It’s time to pay back.”
Saying so, he took out another Space Ring and began fiddling with it.
Seeing this, the middle-aged Demon King was speechless. How could he not understand such a clumsy play? But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why Sir Bai Zhuo would really cooperate with this human. He wanted to offer some advice but didn’t have the courage to do so.
If Bai Zhuo really wanted to protect this person, there was nothing he could do. If he spoke now, he would only offend Bai Zhuo. The key was that Yue Sang had left long ago, otherwise he wouldn’t be sitting here like a statue.
A moment later, Bai Zhuo tossed the Space Ring to Yang Kai and glared at him.
Yang Kai pretended he didn’t see it, nor did he bother to check it. He simply tossed the Space Ring to the middle-aged Demon King and arrogantly declared, “Check it!”
The middle-aged Demon King gripped the Space Ring as if it was a hot potato, crying out, “There’s no need to check.”
This was a Space Ring from Bai Zhuo, and even if there wasn’t a single demon crystal inside, it was still worth a hundred million. There was no need to inspect it.
“Since that’s the case, shouldn’t you give me my prize and the demon crystal I won?” Yang Kai coldly snorted.
The middle-aged Demon King didn’t look at Yang Kai, instead turning to Bai Zhuo with a troubled expression, “There’s no problem with paying for the Demon Crystal, but the prize…”
As far as he knew, that human woman had only been brought here by Yue Sang to show her face before being taken away by him. At this moment, she was no longer in the Blood Fighting Pit. If Yang Kai wanted a prize at this time, where would he get it from?
“What about the prize?” Yang Kai’s face sank. He had participated in the battle mainly because of Li Shiqing, and the loss of a billion demon crystals was secondary. Now that this Demon King was hesitating, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Cold sweat appeared on the middle-aged Demon King’s forehead as he stared at Bai Zhuo with a troubled expression.
However, Bai Zhuo simply smiled and reached out to Yang Kai, “Calm down.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door from outside. Immediately after, the door was pushed open and a burly Demon Race man strode in. From the aura of this Demon Race man, it was obvious he was a High-Rank Demon King.
Not only that, but there was also a beautiful and tall woman beside him. Who else could it be but Li Shiqing?
When the middle-aged Demon King saw this, he turned pale with fright and looked towards Li Shiqing in shock. Wasn’t this woman taken away? Why was she brought back again? Looking at the burly High-Rank Demon King, a flash of understanding flashed across his mind—everyone knew that Bai Zhuo and Yue Sang didn’t get along very well. This time, it was likely that the two of them had secretly fought, but now it seemed that Bai Zhuo had won.
For a time, his back was drenched in cold sweat. He didn’t want to involve himself in a battle between Half-Saints, so it was best to withdraw as soon as possible.
After the burly Demon Race cultivator brought Li Shiqing in, he cupped his hands towards Bai Zhuo and walked out without saying a word.
Yang Kai’s eyes flickered as he vaguely understood something.
On the other side, after Li Shiqing was brought in, she looked around nervously. For her, ever since she was brought to the Demon Territory, she knew that she was doomed. Right now, she was trying her best not to be corroded by the Demonic Qi, but no matter what, it would not change the fact that she would eventually become a Demon.
Therefore, she didn’t have a good impression of the Demon Race.
However, after a while, her eyes suddenly froze as she stared at Yang Kai in disbelief.
She didn’t know who Yang Kai was, but she could tell that he was different from the other Demon Race cultivators, more like a human.
How could there be humans in the Demon Territory? Moreover, he is not affected by the Demonic Qi.
Was this man also captured? But it didn’t look like it.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Yang Kai walk towards her step by step and stand three feet in front of her.
“You…” Li Shiqing opened her mouth, but before she could say a word, Yang Kai suddenly slapped her.
With a loud bang, Li Shiqing’s entire body was sent flying several times before she fell to the ground, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Wu couldn’t help opening her mouth wide, while the middle-aged Demon King was also shocked. Bai Zhuo’s eyes flashed, revealing a faint smile as he once again raised his glass and sipped his blood wine.
