The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

The three of them finally led the giant king crocodile to the entrance of the cave. Initially, it stood at the entrance and watched as Di Fuyi and his two companions leaped into the cave. During its contemplations, it succumbed to the temptation of Yun Qingluo’s blood, and finally also jumped in.

…

Inside the large cave, Gu Xijiu, Zhu Duqing, and Hua Qianjun were alert and ready to attack. Hua Qianjun was a specialist in the use of poisons and was also an expert in martial arts. Having followed Di Fuyi as a subordinate, he learned about array formations from the Devil King. Among all the guards, he was the one who learned the fastest. He was almost as good as the Devil King, so every time the guards needed to set up an array formation, he was always chosen to lead it.

He believed that only a few people in the Shura world could compete with him. Therefore, when Di Fuyi left with Brother Jin and Yun Qingluo, he immediately began to ask Gu Xijiu and Zhu Duqing to listen to his commands.

Zhu Duqing had seen the formation before, and he was quite impressed with the man’s knowledge. If Gu Xijiu were not here, he might have listened to Hua Qianjun’s instructions. But now… He used the fan on his hand to point at Hua Qianjun and said, “Let my master set it up; you listen to her orders!”

Hua Qianjun was stunned; he frowned. “This is not the time to compete. The Devil King will soon bring the crocodile back. Our time is very limited. Please listen to my orders and don’t delay us.”

Zhu Duqing smiled. “Your formation is far worse than my master’s! If we listen to you, it will waste even more time!”

Hua Qianjun’s facial expression changed at this remark. He involuntarily clenched his fists. “Mr. Zhu, I know that you want to protect your master. However, please don’t turn this task into a joke. When it comes to setting up array formations, no one can be compared to me in the Shura World, other than the Devil King himself.”

“You are just bragging!” Zhu Duanqing despised the man. “You have not seen my master’s formations! They are even better than the Devil King’s!”

Hua Qianjun was speechless. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Xijiu but never openly said it. At this moment, he could not hold back his frustration and burst out laughing. “To form an array, it needs great spiritual power and sophisticated thinking. If it were a small and ingenious little game, women could make it. However, this time, we need to trap a dangerous beast. We must not be reckless. If Miss Gu wants to try and prove her superiority, I can play with her once we settle this matter.”

“Come over here.” Gu Xijiu, who had not made a sound, suddenly spoke.

Hua Qianjun looked up at the lady. While he was arguing with Zhu Duqing, Gu Xijiu had already moved a few big boulders around and was now standing behind a big rock. She was glaring at him. Hua Qianjun knew that his Devil King cared about this lady very much. Thus he did not dare to offend her. He went over and asked, “What do you ne…”

He could not finish his sentence because he found himself trapped in an array. He could hear Gu Xijiu’s voice, which seemed to be coming from a distance. “If you can break this array in five minutes, I will listen to your order.”

Hua Qianjun was a master at forming arrays, so naturally, he was also good at breaking them. Therefore, without a second thought, he had started to find a way to break the array. How strong could the formation be with a few big boulders? He was somewhat insulted that Gu Xijiu offered him five minutes. He planned on breaking out of it immediately.

Five minutes had passed, but Hua Qianjun was still trapped inside and could not even move.
