Chapter 167.1 Look After the Construction Site (1/2)
Dragon Cultivation Townin a courtyard within Wang Clan Manor.
The morose Snake King laid low, not daring to move. I'm here to kill Wang Ke. But how! How did I end up on the losing end instead? Why!
Wang Ke, Mo Sanshan and the Demon Sovereign ignored the large reptile and turned their eyes to the still unconscious Zhu Yan.
"Demon Sovereign, does the gold dragon have a dragon sphere?" Mo Sanshan asked expectantly.
The ominous leader was silent for a moment. Then he said, "It's strange. By right, such a high-level ley line gold dragon should have congealed a dragon sphere by now. Alas, it looks like it doesn't have one! It is that or someone took it away before sealing it!"
"Someone took it before the dragon was sealed? That's impossible! Everyone at the scene witnessed the entire process, from activation until it was sealed! Zhu Hongyi and Zi Bufan didnt know about the dragon sphere, nor did they try to extract it! Could it be that this gold dragon really didnt have one?" Mo Sanshan muttered in frustration.
Damn it. All my efforts have gone to waste! I wanted to get the dragon sphere! But I didn't find it, and now I lost five hundred thousand pounds of spirit stones! I'm so damn angry!
On the other hand, Wang Ke was pleasantly surprised; his expression showed mixed emotions after overhearing their conversation. Dragon sphere? Could it be that the tumor I took out from the gold dragon's mouth was actually that dragon sphere?
Of course, he would only keep that information to himself; he could only feign ignorance.
"Demon Sovereign, what's happening to Zhu Yan?" Wang Ke asked curiously.
"The gold dragon seemed agitated just now. It released a huge amount of dragon Qi which overstimulated Zhu Yan. It is a blessing in disguise however, because Zhu Yan's cultivation might progress greatly because of this!" said the Demon Sovereign.
"The gold dragon is restless? Then... will it explode?" Wang Ke asked, his shock evident.
"That shouldn't be the case!" The Demon Sovereign shook his head.
"Oh, I was so afraid it would! Thank goodness! OK, so I just have to wait for Parlor Lord Zi Bufan to come so I can hand him over. Zhu Yan is really not making my life any easier!" Wang Ke heaved a sigh of relief.
"Demon Sovereign, are you going to deal with them?" Mo Sanshan asked.
"No need to take action. They apparently have some plans in progress. I wont interfere, but Ill see what each Parlor Lord will do!" said their leader with a deep voice.
"I agree. Well sit and wait for things to develop!" Mo Sanshan said seriously.
"Yes." The Demon Sovereign nodded.
The latter turned to look at Wang Ke.
"What are your orders, Demon Sovereign?" Wang Ke quickly offered as he moved closer.
The underworld leader stared at the young man for a moment, then said, "Stop causing trouble for me!"
Wang Ke quickly defended himself, "Demon Sovereign, I thought Id made things clear just now. It's all because of Mo Sanshan making accusations behind my back! I'm innocent!"
"Humph!"
The Demon Sovereign snorted coldly before he disappeared in an instant.
Mo Sanshan glanced at Wang Ke and mocked, "Wang Ke, did you hear the Demon Sovereign? He will keep an eye on the Dragon Cultivation Town. Better stop building your tower and spare him some trouble!"
"No way!" Wang Ke shot Mo Sanshan a stare.
Ive poured in so much money already! Every day I'm handing out a huge sum in salaries for the builders! And youre asking me to stop, just like that?
Seeing that he couldnt convince Wang Ke, Mo Sanshan flung his sleeves in dissmisal. "Humph!"
After that, he flew up to the skies and disappeared.
The Snake King finally stopped the submissive act after the Demon Sovereign left and raised his head.
"What are you looking at?" Wang Ke stared at the serpent and said, "Didn't you hear Mo Sanshan? The Demon Sovereign is watching. You better stay put and save me some trouble!"
"Roar! Roar!"
The Snake King snapped at Wang Ke ferociously.
"Huh? Throwing tantrums at me, are you? Planning on eating me whole? Come! Why dont you come here and give it a try! See how I roast you alive!" Wang Ke berated his reptilian subordinate.
The Snake King was angry; he could hardly hold back the urge to swallow that bastard whole. However, the Demon Sovereign was watching, so he could only feign obeisance for now.
Wang Ke continued reprimanding the Snake King with a stare, "Let me say it clearly. I spared your life on account of the Demon Sovereign. Better be grateful!"
The Snake King could only stare back at Wang Ke, seething.

Run away? The Snake King would not dared to; he was afraid to push the demonic leader's boundaries. If I were to run, the Demon Sovereign might really take my life.
I am the mighty Snake King! Why did I become your subordinate? Why?"
"Come in!" Wang Ke shouted, his voice carrying to the exterior.
Soon after, his clan members entered the courtyard.
"Ah, snake!" Someone gasped in shock.
It was Zhang Zhengdao, who heard a loud sound and rushed over, but was stopped by Wang Ke's men. Shock overwhelmed him when he entered the courtyard.
Wang Ke rolled his eyes and said, "So what if there's a snake? He's my pet! Calm down!"
"Ahh? Your pet? When did you start keeping him as a pet?" Zhang Zhengdao walked over, clearly astonished.
"Roar!" The Snake King growled at Zhang Zhengdao.
The latter shivered in fear. Damn, the Snake King looks really powerful!
"Clan Lord?" The clan members were waiting for instructions.
"Zhu Yan still needs to sleep for a good while. Take him to his bed and make sure hes well taken care of! I wouldn't want anyone to push the blame on me!" Wang Ke gave the order.
"Understood!" His men immediately snapped into action.
The Snake King's eyes were filled with craving as he watched them carrying Zhu Yan into the room.
After devouring the gold dragon Qi inside Zhu Yan's body, the Snake King could attain the Astral Infant Stage. Still, he too understood that even if he reached that stage, he would not withstand the Demon Sovereign. Should I eat Zhu Yan secretly?
Wang Ke glanced at the Snake King while drooling, immediately knowing what the serpent was thinking.
Eat Zhu Yan? Stop joking! If you eat him, how will I account for the consequences in front of Zi Bufan? The Snake King cannot remain here.
"Someone! Come and fill up this hole on the ground!" Wang Ke ordered.
"Understood!" His men rushed over to inspect the hole.
"Snake King, follow me!" Wang Ke said.
"Go where?" The reptile looked surprised.
"The construction site!" Wang Ke replied.
"The construction site? What does that mean? What do you want me to do? " The Snake King was puzzled.
"Shut up. Just follow me!" Wang Ke urged the other.
The Snake King warned him, "Wang Ke, keep in mind that I'm a demonic beast. Once I expose myself, the immortal sects disciples will kill me!"
"Who would even dare touch you when I'm around? Just follow me! Stop talking so much!" Wang Ke replied disdainfully.
