629: Chapter 648: Coercion 629: Chapter 648: Coercion “Zhuo Ma!”
Uncle Zhuo cried out in agony, his hunched body trembling, for the Bull Demon King was holding the little girl in his hand.
How could this not fill him with extre terror?
“Grandpa.”
The appearance of Uncle Zhuo imdiately brought tears to the little girl’s eyes as she cried out, for she was still so young.
How could she not be frightened, being in the clutches of a demon?
“Great King, please spare my life.
If you wish to eat soone, take my worthless old life, but please let my granddaughter go.
She’s just a child.”
Uncle Zhuo’s face was pale; he staggered toward the Bull Demon King.
Clearly, the capture of his granddaughter by the Bull Demon King filled this old man’s heart and body with extre tremors, deeply fearing that the Demon King would swallow the little girl whole.
You must know that demons eating humans was not an unusual occurrence, even in the birthplace of the Buddhist Sect in the Western Continent.
Incidents did happen, which only added to Uncle Zhuo’s extre panic.
Uncle Zhuo pleaded sorrowfully and had already arrived in front of the Bull Demon King, even falling to his knees at the Demon King’s feet, beseechingly shaking the hem of the Demon King’s trousers, his eyes brimming with muddy tears.
“Old man, do not be afraid.
I never kill the innocent without reason.”
There was no bloodshed or slaughter as one might imagine, nor was the entire little stone village annihilated.
The Bull Demon King smiled slightly and actually set the little girl down, prompting Uncle Zhuo to quickly pull Zhuo Ma behind him and continuously bow in gratitude to the Bull Demon King.
“Old man, I am easy to talk to, and I never eat humans.
I ca to your precious land today just to seek one person.
As long as you tell where this person is, I promise I won’t trouble you.”
The Bull Demon King spoke with a smile, once again unfolding the scroll and presenting Ye Xuan’s face to Uncle Zhuo, allowing the villagers to see Ye Xuan’s portrait as well.
Looking at Ye Xuan’s face in the scroll, Uncle Zhuo’s eyes narrowed, and then he feigned confusion, shaking his head, “Your Majesty, this old man has never seen this person before.
What could Your Majesty want with him?”
Observing Uncle Zhuo’s confused expression, the Bull Demon King narrowed his eyes slightly, then surveyed the villagers present.
When his gaze fell upon them, the villagers scattered, none daring to even make eye contact with the Bull Demon King for a mont.
“Do you also not recognize this person?” the Bull Demon King spoke coldly.
“Great King, we truly do not know this person.
How dare we deceive you?” Zhang Qinghe’s face was ashen as he kept kneeling and kowtowing to the Bull Demon King, as if he truly did not know Ye Xuan.
“Haha!”
Suddenly, the Bull Demon King burst into a thunderous laugh, the sound shaking Heaven and Earth and making the villagers of the little stone village cover their ears and scream in agony.
They slumped to the ground like lumps of mud, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at the Bull Demon King.
“You worthless mortals dare to deceive .
Do you not fear that I will slay you all right here?”
When the Bull Demon King’s laughter ceased, the Daluo Demon Light spread out, and the whole world trembled violently.
The incredibly ferocious aura weighed heavily upon the villagers, instilling the sensation of death’s approach.
“Great…
Great King…
how could we dare deceive you…
but the person you speak of…
we truly do not recognize,” Zhang Qinghe cried out in sorrow.
“Yes, Great King, we are only mortals.
How could we dare to lie to you?” Li Dazhuang bowed and cried, obviously the villagers were tight-lipped, having perceived that the Bull Demon King had co with ill intent.
The villagers echoed one another, and although they were good at hiding it, the Bull Demon King was extrely shrewd.
How could he not notice the hesitancy in so of the villagers’ eyes, clearly indicating that the person he was looking for must be in the little stone village – and these ignorant mortals were just trying to deceive him.
“Co here!”
Just as the villagers were desperately pleading, the Bull Demon King beckoned with a big hand, pulling a child of five or six years old from the crowd toward him.
This caused the child’s parents to scream, and they fainted on the spot, terrified.
“Little friend, do you recognize the person in this painting scroll?”
The Bull Demon King, holding a child in his hand, asked softly, which caused great alarm among the villagers.
Zhang Qinghe wanted to speak, but before he could say a word, the Bull Demon King’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a glimr of demon light froze him in place, rendering him unable to speak.
“Ye… Brother Ye… he is… he is Zhuo Ma family’s Brother Ye.”
The child was only five or six years old, their spiritual wisdom not yet fully developed, and being in the hands of a Great Demon like the Bull Demon King, they were already extrely fearful and dared not tell a single lie.
“Brother Ye?”
The Bull Demon King’s eyes lit up.
He reached out his large palm and drew the child’s parents toward him.
Then he said to the child, “Who is Zhuo Ma?
And who is Brother Ye?
Just tell this King, and I guarantee I will not harm your parents.”
“Mom and Dad!”
Seeing his parents unconscious, the child scread in fear, repeatedly kicking and striking against the Bull Demon King’s grasp, but how could he break free from the Bull Demon King’s hand?
“Speak!”
The Bull Demon King glared with his bovine eyes, already losing patience.
His chilling growl echoed, stunning the child on the spot.
“She… she is little Zhuo Ma… Brother Ye is staying at Zhuo Ma’s house,” the child, pointing at the little girl, said with a trembling voice.
Bang!
As soon as the child finished speaking, the Bull Demon King casually tossed the child to the ground, his bovine eyes darkly fixed on the grandfather and granddaughter.
“Little girl, you’ve deceived this King terribly,”
The Bull Demon King said grimly, taking steps toward the little girl, causing the grandfather and granddaughter to back away incessantly, their eyes filled with extre terror.
“Don’t co any closer.”
Uncle Zhuo shouted tremulously, a pole appearing in his hand out of nowhere, shielding the little girl behind him.
But his quivering and stooping figure was incomparable to the Bull Demon King.
“Your Majesty, the person you’re looking for has really left.
He only stayed in our Shishi Village for a short ti.
We truly don’t dare deceive you,”
Zhang Qinghe, having regained his ability to move, spoke shakily, explaining.
The other villagers nodded in agreent, hoping the Bull Demon King would spare the two.
“Gone?”
The Bull Demon King’s breath hitched, his fists clenched repeatedly, an unimaginable malice spreading from him.
The Bull Demon King did not believe that Zhang Qinghe was lying.
Since his arrival in Shishi Village, a significant amount of ti had passed, yet the murderer of his child had not surfaced, which made him incredibly suspicious and led to the conjecture that the other party might have already left.
After all, from the information provided by two Great Demons, he knew the one he sought was also a Daluo.
If the person was indeed in Shishi Village, they would surely not cower and hide away.
“Tell this King, where did this person go?”
The Bull Demon King’s cold stare focused on the grandfather and granddaughter, with the Daluo Demon Light enveloping him and a very subtle hint of murderous intent passing through his eyes.
“I don’t know… This old one truly does not know… He… he is a man of great ability… Since he chose to leave, how could he tell us mortals where he went?”
