Chapter 431 It is better to borrow chickens to lay eggs than to kill the chickens to get the eggs

Xiniu Hezhou is the sphere of influence of the Western Religion. In the border area between Nanzhanbuzhou and Xiniu Hezhou, there is an area where demons are rampant, like an isolation zone.

When the Chamber of Commerce's caravans entered this area, they were robbed nine out of ten times. It was obvious that they were being targeted.

Because of this, it was extremely difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to carry out intelligence work in Xiniu Hezhou. Even though the border areas tried hard to send spies to disguise and infiltrate, they had little effect due to the other side's strict defense.

Intelligence shows that after the Seven Fairies and the mastermind entered the territory of the Lion Country, none of them returned.

In other words, even if what Demon King Peng said was true, he only captured two fairies, and the four who escaped must have fled to Xiniu Hezhou.

However, the sporadic spies lurking in Xiniu Hezhou have not sent back any eyewitness reports. If Wen Rui wants to know the final whereabouts of the other fairies, he has to personally ask the Demon King Peng.

"The four fairies went westwards. I had two of them in my claws, so it was inconvenient to chase them, so I had to let them escape."

Demon King Peng spread out his hands and said calmly, "As for where he finally escaped to, maybe he escaped to Lingshan, or maybe he was killed by other demon kings. I don't know."

Without even turning on the polygraph, Wen Rui could tell that he was hiding something, saying only half and hiding the other half.

Ninety percent of the demon kings in Xiniu Hezhou have joined the Demon Kingdom Alliance. They often interact with each other and have a very close relationship.

An old demon as scheming as Peng Demon King is rare. Given the demons' general love of showing off, if they caught a fairy, wouldn't they hold a "fairy party" and invite friends and relatives to come and admire it?

As for the fairies escaping to Lingshan, the possibility is also very low. The Western Church and the Heavenly Palace are at least close allies on the surface. If the Queen Mother's personal maid was rescued, even if they did not help, they would at least escort her back to the Heavenly Palace.

When both are ruled out, things become a little confusing again.

The old demon was most likely covering up for others and was unwilling to reveal too many secrets to King Yu Monkey, a newcomer to the Demon Alliance.

In this case, the next step is to rescue the two fairies who have fallen into the hands of the Demon King Peng.

Only by rescuing the person involved can we get more clues and continue to track down the whereabouts of the other fairies.

The golden monkey pretended to be disappointed, sighed and shook his head, saying: "Alas, the duck that was about to be eaten flew away. It is fate that makes me so blessed. It seems that I have little hope of immortality."

"Brother Monkey, there are three thousand great ways, and the Dao methods are endless. There are many ways to achieve immortality. Why do you have to be obsessed with eating fairy meat?"

Seeing that he looked distraught, Demon King Peng consoled him, "Brother, I have two secret manuals on cultivation for the demon race here. They are both classics passed down by the Jiejiao Master Tongtian. They were given to me by my elder brothers. You can take them and cultivate according to the rules, and you can slowly increase your lifespan."

Demon King Peng took out two ancient jade slips from his arms and handed them to Wen Rui generously.

In order to win over King Yu Monkey, Demon King Peng was willing to spend a lot of money.

Wen Rui took the jade slips and scanned them with his mind. These two books were indeed the genuine secret manuals of Jiejiao. One was "The Secret of Devouring Yuan and Devouring Heaven" and the other was "The Breathing Method of Nine Spirits". The two elder brothers of Peng Demon King, one was Lingya Immortal and the other was Qiushou Immortal. They were the seven attendants of the leader of Tongjiao. Their cultivation methods were all taught by the leader himself and passed down personally. They were genuine among the genuine ones.

If Wen Rui was not a fake spy but a real wild great saint of the demon clan, and he was given the supreme secret method of demon cultivation taught by the leader of the Jiejiao Tongtian as soon as he joined the Demon Alliance, he would be moved beyond words and would probably bow down on the spot.

"Alas, the secret book is a good one, but it's a pity that I can't practice it."

The golden monkey handed the two jade slips back to Demon King Peng and said with regret.

"How can it be impossible to practice?" Demon King Peng said in astonishment: "Look carefully, this is a technique created by a saint specifically for demon cultivators. Humans should not be able to practice it."

"Alas, brother, you don't know that our monkey meridians are special and are very similar to those of humans. Ninety-six percent of the meridians are exactly the same, with only a few differences."

Wen Rui began to talk nonsense in a serious tone: "It is precisely because of this little difference that my monkey clan, whether practicing the human clan's skills or the demon clan's skills, is always twice as effective with half the effort. If we want to quickly improve our cultivation, we have to rely on a greedy little mouth."

At this point, the golden monkey said with a bitter face: "If I have the opportunity to sneak into the Heavenly Palace in the future, I will definitely sneak into the Queen Mother's Peach Garden and Laojun's alchemy room and eat as much as I can. Even if I cause a huge disaster and will be sentenced to death if caught, I have to eat my fill first. This is the fate that my monkey clan cannot escape."

"So the monkey tribe has such hidden worries in their cultivation?"

Demon King Peng is an old demon who has seen a lot, but he has no idea of the nonsense that Wen Rui has made up.

But he did know some of the habits of monkeys. Their little mouths were really greedy and they wanted to stuff all the good things into their mouths. Even if their stomachs were full, they would still greedily fill their crop.

"I don't have the good fortune to be deified and go to heaven to steal the elixir and peaches. There are not many natural treasures left in the mortal world. I can only count on this bite of fairy meat."

The golden monkey rolled his eyes with a lost tone, as if he had thought of some trick, and clapped his hands and said, "Oh, right, brother, you captured those two fairies but didn't kill or eat them, didn't you intend to keep them as hostages to check and balance the heavenly court? Can you let me borrow the chickens to lay eggs and force them to give birth to a few little fairies? I will only eat the eggs, and I won't kill the chickens for the eggs, right?"

"You, what...what did you say?"

The Demon King Peng was stunned by the monkey's outburst, and once again refreshed his understanding of the moral bottom line of this domestic violence monkey: "Do you mean to force those two fairies to give birth to fairy children, and then eat them after they are fattened up?"

The golden monkey said calmly, without any shame, "Isn't this a good way to have the best of both worlds? It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. With those two hens that can lay fairy eggs, we can produce fairy meat sustainably, and our descendants will have an endless supply. If we keep eating it, even if we can't gather the seven fairies to eat it and achieve immortality directly, it is also a disguised way to achieve immortality."

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. I thought I was already the most vicious demon among the monsters..."

Demon King Peng looked at the golden monkey with a strange expression and murmured, "I didn't expect that there is a master like you among the demons! You can be so mean and brutal... I admire you!"

As he spoke, he gave Wen Rui a thumbs up.

In Wen Rui's sea of consciousness, he heard Princess Longji's hysterical curses: "Wen, who do you think you are? You can come up with such an extremely evil method. The Demon King and the Demon Ancestor must worship you as their master!"
