Chapter 86.1 It’s Black! It’s Black! (1/2)
At the Divine Dragon Island’s prison complex.
“Second senior apprentice-brother, are you sure? That Wang Ke? The Mahjong player, Wang Ke, he’s really a fellow disciple of our sect?”
“Senior apprentice-brother, don’t lie to me. How can a disciple of the righteous sect enter the demonic sect?”
“Yeah! He even rescued the Sacred Child!”
………………

Wang Ke asked the second senior apprentice to keep his identity a secret, and the latter agreed. But the second senior apprentice forgot his promise the moment Wang Ke left.
He spread hope among the prisoners these few days, speaking about Wang Ke’s difficulties.
Seeing that some were doubtful, he felt indignant.
“How can you say such things? Junior brother Wang risked his life to come into the demons’ den to rescue us. For all of you, he’s been hanging on a thread all day and night. He’s entertaining the demons for our sake; he’s willing to give up his life to rescue us! How dare you have the face of doubting him?” The senior apprentice said, looking down on those who denounced Wang Ke.
“We…We……!” Those who doubted lowered their heads in guilt.
“The senior apprentice-brother is right. You guys, I’m really embarrassed by you! How can you say such things!”
“Do you know how much hardship junior brother Wang endured? He’s even risking his life! How can you suspect him when he’s here to save us?”
“Diving deep into the demonic sect? Who dares to do that? Which righteous sect disciple dares to do that? Only junior brother Wang dares; he’s like a sheep entering the wolves’ den to save all of you. Have your hearts turned black? How can you doubt him?
“And you said that junior brother Wang rescued the Sacred Child? Are you trying to say that he’s currying favor? How shameless are you! You are stabbing junior brother Wang’s heart by saying that!”
“All our hearts are made of flesh; they will ache! Junior brother Wang gave his everything to rescue you, yet you keep on slandering him. Ptooey! How is it that you can say such things?”
“Do you know how risky it is for junior brother Wang every day? The worst of your days is only getting your blood sucked. But once he’s exposed, he will die!”
“Who dares to slander junior brother Wang again? I will teach him a lesson!”
……………………
………………
……
The righteous sect disciples muttered quietly among themselves. And so, the second senior apprentice brainwashed all his juniors. Anyone who had a tinge of doubt about Wang Ke’s motive would feel greatly embarrassed. They all believed that Wang Ke endured great suffering to rescue them from this hell of a place. Such a sacrificial spirit and character must not be sullied at all.
And just then, the prison wardens locked Zhu Yan into the cell.
“Wang Ke is the Heavenly Wolf Sect’s disciple! You must believe in me!” Zhu Yan was screaming at the top of his voice, “He is Chen Tianyuan’s disciple. He’s a fake! He’s from the righteous faction. You have to believe me! I’m speaking the truth! Go after Wang Ke and kill him!”
Zhu Yan’s scream shocked all the prisoners.
Oh sh*t, junior brother Wang Ke is going to be exposed?Damn you, demon! Damn you! He’s going to get junior brother Wang Killed!
“Beat him up!” The second senior apprentice ordered in a rage.
“Beat him up!” The prisoners pounced onto Zhu Yan.
They could not care for anything else. You bastard! You are crushing our hope. If there’s no hope, we are not afraid to even die! And so, the prisoners poured their rage onto the weakened Zhu Yan, who endured through the hellish experience in screams of pain.
Until a loud sound of explosion came from the Ten-thousand Serpent Pool.
Booooom!
Wang Ke and Princess Youyue were propelled out of the tunnel.
———-
The Snake King’s raw strength was horrifying. The impact was even more terrifying than Tong An’an’s punch at full strength when the frost exploded. If the Snake King had hit Wang Ke directly, Wang Ke would have straightaway been incinerated by his own turbid essence Qi!
But just at this critical moment, Princess Youyue took the blow for Wang Ke. Even after erecting a protective shield, she was still slammed into the air while vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Although Wang Ke was not hit, he felt extremely anxious to see his girlfriend injured because of him.
“Youyue!” Wang Ke cried out.
“Cough, cough. I’m okay!” Princesse Youyue gave him a bitter smile before losing her strength.
She was not okay at all; she just did not want Wang Ke to worry. Even the sight of the impact on the princess just now left Wang Ke with an aching heart. But at the same time, he was moved by how the princess saved him without hesitation.
“Let me carry you!” Wang Ke said and cradled the princess.
“Brother Wang?” Tong An’an and his fellow demons looked at Wang Ke in a daze.
Why is he back?Isn’t he a trump-card undercover and an Astral Infant Stage?
“Roar~~~~~~~~~~~!”
Just at this moment, a gigantic snake crashed into the prison complex, shaking the entire place.
“Snake King! It’s the Snake King!” The demons cried out in shock.
“Stop this beast! I will come in a moment!” Wang Ke shouted to the demons.
“Okay!” Tong An’an replied instinctively.
It could be that everyone still remembered Wang Ke’s identity: Astral Infant Stage cultivator and a trump-card undercover! And so, when their superior gave the order, they acknowledged it instinctively.
And the demons began attacking the Snake King.
“Roar~~~~~~~~~~~!”
“Booooom!”
The Snake King bellowed, followed by a loud explosion reverberated across the entire prison. The intense battle drew the curious attention of countless demonic sect disciples.
Meanwhile, Wang Ke, with the princess in his arms, bolted toward the center of the Divine Dragon Island.
“Parlor Lord, help! The Snake King rebelled! He’s going to devour all the demonic sect disciples! Parlor Lord, help!” Wang Ke cried out.
And Tong An’an, who was bashed away in the battle, looked at the fleeing Wang Ke in astonishment.
Why is he doing that?Isn’t Brother Wang an Astral Infant Stage?Why would he be afraid of the Snake King? Why is he fleeing so desperately?
Could it be…?Could it be that he’s not an Astral Infant Stage?
What Zhu Yan said previously flashed in Tong An’an’s mind suddenly.
Could… Could Wang Ke be lying?He’s not at the AStral Infant Stage at all. He was okay after I punched him because of his protective artifact?
“Roar!”
The Snake King bellowed once again, pushing away everyone, then he continued pursuing Wang Ke.
The spell array in the Ten-thousand Serpent Pool seemed to have been broken by the Snake King. Snake generals arrived at the scene and engaged the demonic sect disciples to open a path for their king.
“Stop there! Roar! I’m going to devour you! Roar~~~~~~!” The Snake King pursued ferociously.
Wang Ke sprinted toward Zhu Hongyi’s residence with the princess in his arms.
At this moment, Zhu Hongyi and She Qingqing heard the commotion outside and came out.
“Parlor Lord, help! The Snake King is rebelling!” Wang Ke ran as fast as he could.
His turbid essence Qi was already close to turning black, just about to be incinerated. Given the circumstances, Wang Ke wasn’t at all interested in the battle.
He couldn’t even rely on the automatic protection provided by his Indestructible Solar Divine Sword. What if the sword deemed that the Snake King’s attack wasn’t a fatal attack that needed protecting? He couldn’t just let his cultivation breakthrough and then be incinerated to ash!
