Demon King Ao Li

"I never expected to encounter such a refined person at 'Cloud Sky Peak' in this Demon Ghost Domain. I really doubt whether this place is still the Demon Ghost Domain." Yue Qianchou looked around and laughed, "There are two Co-lord in this area of several thousand miles, one Yin and one Yang. You are able to be so relaxed on 'Cloud Sky Peak'. Could you be the Yang ruler who governs this place, Demon King Ao Li?"

The man's previously composed expression flickered slightly. He looked at Yue Qianchou with some surprise and asked in confusion, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"Ghost General Meng Yan once mentioned it to me," Yue Qianchou said with a smile. He was actually guessing. Although he knew there was Demon King here, he had never heard Meng Yan mention Ao Li. He only learned that the Demon King of this place was named Ao Li after hearing it from Fei Denan. However, he was obviously right.

"Your elder brother mentioned me to you?" Ao Li looked him over again, suspiciously asking, "Could you be Yue Qianchou?"

"The real deal!" Yue Qianchou slowly raised a dark Ghost King Token in his hand and laughed, "It seems General Meng also mentioned me to you."

Upon seeing the Ghost King Token, Ao Li's doubts vanished instantly. The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously cupped their hands, saying, "We've heard so much about you!"

Upon hearing the same words, both men paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. Wu Sihai and the others were initially taken aback, not expecting this person to be the Demon King of this place. However, seeing the two men chatting and laughing, their hearts immediately settled down. This Yue Qianchou was indeed no ordinary person.

The two approached each other with laughter, their expressions showing a mutual appreciation. Yue Qianchou looked Ao Li up and down again, clicking his tongue in admiration, "To say something that might displease you, senior, if we didn't know your identity, with your refined and elegant demeanor, who would know that you are the demon lord of this place?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Li could hardly hide his joy. Although he was Demon Race, he had always admired the refined manners of humans and thus imitated them in every way. Yue Qianchou's words resonated with him, and his goodwill towards Yue Qianchou increased instantly. He patted Yue Qianchou on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "What's there to be happy about? Since you are Brother Meng's friend, you are also my friend. Just say what you want to say."

In truth, Yue Qianchou found it strange the moment he saw him. It wasn't unusual for a Demon King to transform into human form, but why was he dressed like a pedantic scholar? Either he was mentally unstable, or he had a penchant for such things. So, he tried flattering him, and sure enough, the other party felt very comfortable with it.

"Alas! Of all professions, only studying is noble." Yue Qianchou looked at himself, shook his head and sighed, "Seeing the demeanor of the senior, I am truly ashamed of myself."

"Are all other pursuits inferior except for studying?" Ao Li muttered to himself, then his eyes lit up. Seeing Yue Qianchou's ashamed expression, he patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Hey! Brother Yue, why be like this? This kind of pedantic pursuit is just my personal hobby, not worth mentioning, really not worth mentioning."

Yue Qianchou's subtle flattery instantly energized Ao Li, making him appear as if he'd been injected with adrenaline. His radiant expression seemed more like a jab than a consolation. However, it was clear that Ao Li was genuinely pleased; within just a few words, he was already addressing Yue Qianchou as "Brother Yue."

If Meng Yan heard Ao Li say that his preferred path was the path of pedantry and corruption, he would be dumbfounded. Meng Yan had once casually said something like that, and Ao Li almost turned against him on the spot. Now, however, he was belittling himself.

The four sedan chair bearers carrying Ao Li not far away also looked on incredulously. They had never heard Ao Li belittle himself like that before. Such words were taboo for Ao Li; not only them, but no one else could even mention them. The four of them looked at Yue Qianchou with a hint of admiration.

Wu Sihai and the others, unaware of the details, could only marvel at Yue Qianchou's Divine Ability abilities and extensive connections, which allowed him to even traverse the Demon Ghost Domain, when they saw the Demon King Ao Li addressing Yue Qianchou as a brother. They were completely relieved.

"Cheer up, brother. Let's not make our first meeting so unlucky." Seeing that he was still a little sullen, Ao Li comforted him again, "Sister -Yu Ji has been praising you highly! She said that your talent is so great that even I can't compare. At first, I was not Qi Ingestion, but after hearing your poem 'Love the country more than the beauty,' I am completely convinced."

Now that things have come to this point, continuing to pretend would seem a bit pretentious. Yue Qianchou coughed twice, embarrassed, and said, "Composing songs is nothing but a clever and frivolous skill, how can it compare to Brother Ao's true elegance? Let's not talk about it." He then followed suit and started calling him "Brother Ao."

Ao Li laughed heartily and said, "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore, let's stop here." He then glanced at Wu Sihai and the others and asked, "Brother, what brings you to the Demon Ghost Domain this time?"

Yue Qianchou's expression turned serious, and he said, "I have indeed come here on business. I am on my way to 'Yin Feng Valley' to ask General Meng for help."

"Haha, we hit it off right away. In that case, I'll go with you to 'Yin Feng Valley' and ask Brother Meng for a drink." After saying that, Ao Li waved to the four people behind him and said, "You guys go back first."

The four burly men respectfully accepted the order, lifted the Green Vine Soft Sedan chair, and rode away into the air. Yue Qianchou laughed and said, "I haven't been to 'Yin Feng Valley' yet, so I don't know the way. Following Brother Ao will save me a lot of trouble."

"Brother! You're too kind." Ao Li patted him, then floated gracefully in the air, pointing south and saying, "Let's go!"

Yue Qianchou nodded to Wu Sihai and the others, signaling them to follow. A long sword sprang up, carrying him away with Ao Li. Wu Sihai and the others, possessing the cultivation of the Tribulation Transcendence stage, naturally did not need to use swords and followed Yue Qianchou at a respectful distance. The six of them swooped down, piercing through the dense clouds of sorrow, and entered the eerie and terrifying Demon Ghost Domain.

Ao Li flew alongside Yue Qianchou, the two chatting and laughing all the way. As for the four people following behind, Ao Li didn't even bother to glance at them or ask who they were; the Demon King had the arrogance of Demon King. Wu Sihai and the others didn't dare to interrupt either, the Demon King's prestige putting immense pressure on them.

This was the first time Wu Sihai and his companions had ventured so deep into the Demon Ghost Domain. They constantly scanned their surroundings, noticing various terrifying monsters appearing frequently, all their eyes greedily fixed on them. But upon seeing Ao Li ahead, they hastily retreated, some even kneeling in worship. Wherever Ao Li went, the strange cries fell silent, no one daring to make a sound. The four were terrified; the Demon King's reputation was indeed well-deserved.

Ao Li and the others flew at the same speed as Yue Qianchou. By the time they arrived at Yin Feng Valley, it was already dark. Fortunately, Yue Qianchou was a great talker, which impressed Ao Li so much that he wished he had met him sooner. Otherwise, he would not have had the patience to fly slowly with Yue Qianchou. Wu Sihai and the others naturally had no objections.
