Chapter 11657 — A Situation Even a Child Could Solve
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
His abacus was clicking away furiously.
Counting himself, the thin elder, and Qi Zhuiyun, the Prince of Qi's Estate alone accounted for three people.
By his division, they alone would take thirty-six crimson apes, while Wei Zhao and Zhang Tailing together would get only twenty-four.
Zhang Tailing frowned. "Isn't it a bit early to be discussing this?"
The short elder chuckled. "A bit early, yes, but some things are better spelled out early than left hanging—otherwise, when the haggling starts later, it won't be any fun."
Wei Zhao said, his expression strange: "You'd better take another look at the spatial gate first."
The short elder started at that, looked up again, and was stunned to find that the spatial gate had actually stopped shrinking.
It had shrunk to an inner diameter of about two zhang and then stopped moving.
It was as if some powerful force were propping it open by force!
That was not all—before anyone could react, the shape of the spatial gate suddenly underwent some eerie change.
It turned into the shape of a face!
Looking closely, it closely resembled the crimson apes before them, yet was clearly different.
It was visibly more weathered and ancient.
Held under the gaze of those two pitch-black eyes, looking down from above, Wei Zhao and the others could not help but feel their blood run cold by instinct.
"What's going on?"
Though no one understood at once, they all had a vague sense.
This time, they had likely hoisted themselves with their own petard.
Their attempt to close the spatial gate with a spatial seal had clearly enraged some terrifying existence behind it.
The short elder pointed at Qi Zhuiyun and cursed: "Good for nothing but ruining things! Why does the Prince of Qi's Estate keep producing trash like you?"
"..."
Qi Zhuiyun pointed wordlessly at his own nose. This could be blamed on him too?
From beginning to end, he had only made a suggestion; the actual decision had been made by the others.
The way the blame was being flung around left him with no retort at all.
The others, however, had no mind to pay them any attention.
Gazing at the giant face overhead, even Wei Zhao felt a long-unfelt palpitation, and a shudder rising from the deepest part of his soul.
Wei Zhao understood in an instant.
This was an existence comparable to a god-tier powerhouse!
After all, for him as he was now, even a quasi-god powerhouse would not provoke such a violent instinctive tremor.
Zhang Tailing murmured, beside himself: "The Great Ape King! This is the Great Ape King of legend—one of the Seven Demon Sages, standing at the very apex of the outer-realm demons!"
Wei Zhao could not help glancing at him again.
This old Taoist really did know a great many things.
The crowd was once again seized by collective horror.
Outer-realm demons were already not to be trifled with; if the other party truly stood at the apex of the outer-realm demons, then there was no need to think—there was no point in their even entertaining the thought of resistance.
Because with a mere flick of their finger, these people would have to die ten thousand times over, tied together.
There was simply no comparison between them at all.
The thin elder said in a low voice: "If it really is an existence of that level, it cannot possibly descend here—the Inner Royal Court simply cannot withstand their power!"
At those words, everyone felt somewhat relieved.
Any existence that had reached god-tier could not easily appear in the Inner Royal Court, let alone a demon sage of the Great Ape King's level.
As long as the other side could not come through, they would still have a chance to linger on in their miserable existence.
