Chapter 477 You Have to be Responsible for Me

Chapter 477 You Have to be Responsible for Me

Li Ye asked You Daxiao to come. The meal was finally eaten as breakfast.

In the meantime, Li Ye told everyone that he was going to the City Lord’s Mansion. Unsurprisingly, You Daxiao and the innkeeper were very puzzled. They asked him why he was going to take the bull by the horns.

Li Ye only said a word. “Blackmail.”

Everyone got up after breakfast. The sparrow flew behind Li Ye’s head with a big belly, looking heroic and stirring.

Li Ye thought that his Luke Sword needed some Magic Treasures to upgrade to the high ranking. There were many treasures in the City Lord’s Mansion, so it would be a pity not to blackmail him.

The demon bear adopted the demon dhole’s suggestion. He first sent demons to find out the inn where Li Ye and the others stayed. It was daylight when the message came back. Then he gathered a group of cultivators with high cultivation to catch Li Ye.

As a Great Cultivator in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, the demon bear had many masters under his command. Some of them were in the Real Immortal Realm, and many were in the Sky Immortal Realm.

However, the demon bear didn’t intend to bring many demons. As he watched the battle between Li Ye and the demon tiger last night, he had a clear understanding of Li Ye’s fighting ability.

Li Ye could defeat a cultivator in the Real Immortal Realm because he did his best, but when he encountered the demon bear in the Taiyi Real Immortal Realm, he couldn’t even flee, to say nothing of winning. Moreover, Li Ye was injured last night. Even if he took the Dan Pills of the Star Pavilion, he couldn’t recover so quickly.

However, before the demon bear led the demons out, the gatekeeper came to report.

“Lord, outside comes a crowd of people and demons. The guy at the head claims to be Prince An of the Tang Empire. He asks to see the Lord!” the gatekeeper said in front of the demon bear.

“Is that true?” The demon bear was a little stunned when he heard this. “I’m going to find Li Ye, but he came to me by himself. Is there such a good thing in the world?”

“I don’t dare to lie. They’re outside the door now!” said the gatekeeper.

The demon bear glanced at the demon dhole next to him and asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”

The demon dhole couldn’t figure it out.

If he were an ordinary demon, he would suggest catching them first since they dared to come to look for death. However, he was a smart demon, so he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with it and that it might be a trap.

After all, the person who came was Prince An of the Tang Empire, and the demon dhole also heard of his deeds. Li Ye was also very intelligent, so he wouldn’t come to look for death for no reason.

He said in a low voice, “There must be something strange when things are going wrong. Be careful, Lord!”

“Of course I know. Now that they are outside the door, can you say something useful?” the demon bear said unhappily. He was going to catch Li Ye, but now that Li Ye came to find him, he became suspicious. After all, he had a guilty conscience, so it was inevitable for him to think too much.

The demon bear was not afraid to see Li Ye. He came to the door with all his demons and wanted to know what Li Ye would say before he dealt with him.

The demon bear was a little surprised when he walked out of the door. Many cultivators of the demon clan gathered outside the door, and roughly, there were a few hundred. They all looked like they were watching a show. Some of them even pointed fingers at the City Lord’s Mansion.

The demon bear rarely saw such a scene, so he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he didn’t show any expression on his face. He coughed and stepped forward, saying, “Who asked to see me...”

“Are you the Lord of Panfeng City?” When Li Ye saw the demon bear, he immediately made the preemptive move and interrupted the demon bear. When he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and covered his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed, “I’m Prince An of the Tang Empire. When I just arrived at your place, some demons wanted to kill me. Lord, you have to help me!”

The demon bear stood stunned. “What’s going on? Why did he begin to vomit blood before finishing his words? Could it be that his last night’s injuries broke out again?”

The demon bear felt a little guilty at the thought of what had happened last night. When he heard the words “some demons wanted to kill me”, his heart thumped. He wondered if Li Ye was aware of something and wanted to ask for an explanation with a group of demons.

In full view of the public, the demon bear’s advance preparation became useless. He originally intended to accuse Li Ye of killing demons and arrest him, no matter what Li Ye would say. After he arrested Li Ye, everything was up to him.

Now there were so many cultivators of the demon clan outside the door, and some of them were famous. He couldn’t do that anymore.

The demon bear steadied his mind and told himself not to panic. His plan might not be revealed yet. He asked tentatively, “Who wanted to kill you?”

“Your men!” Li Ye’s words shocked everyone. The demons around the door immediately became noisy, discussing it.

Actually, the demons came here because of a simple reason. After breakfast, Li Ye asked You Daxiao and the demon fox to spread the news in the city, saying, “Prince An of the Tang Empire has arrived and he’s in the City Lord’s Mansion now. Everyone, go and have a look!”

So they came.

Human beings had high popularity in the demon clan, but in recent years, fewer and fewer human beings came to the demon clan, and the Lingyun Canyon lost business. Only the generations of the mortals who came earlier were still walking around here. However, because a human being couldn’t marry a demon, there were a few of them.

Now that Prince An of the Tang Empire was here, many demons were curious. After all, he had high status.

Moreover, when You Daxiao and the demon fox spread the news, they not only revealed that Li Ye was assassinated last night but also specially commented that Li Ye was very handsome... With these two stunts, it was not surprising that the cultivators of the demon clan would come to watch.

Hearing this, the demon bear was shocked and his expression immediately changed. He blurted out, “Nonsense! You’re slinging mud at me. You have to be responsible for it. When did I kill you?”

He thought, “I’m really going to kill you, but it’s not successful yet. How could it be called that I’ve killed a person before I really do it?”

Li Ye nodded as if he had realized that he had said something wrong, so he immediately changed his words. “It was the demons in the city who wanted to kill me. I was assassinated last night. Ahem... I was badly injured...”

While saying this, he vomited blood again.

The demon bear breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Li Ye didn’t know that he did it. When he saw Li Ye vomit blood again, he felt a little strange. When Li Ye fought the demon tiger last night, he didn’t seem to be so seriously injured. “Why did his injuries become more serious after he robbed the Dan Pills of the Star Pavilion? Did he take the wrong Dan Pills?”

The demon dhole coughed twice and attracted the demon bear’s attention. He immediately tipped him a wink.

The demon bear was speechless.

“Who do you want to wink at? What the hell do you mean? How can I know? Can’t you just say what you want?”

The demon dhole was helpless and had to speak directly. He said to Li Ye, “Prince An, you’re here today...”

“I’m here to seek the protection of the Lord! My cultivation is low, and I can’t resist the demons who are going to kill me, so I can only live here. I came with a mission, for the great plans between the demon clan and the human beings. You have to keep me safe!” Li Ye said righteously.

The demon bear was confused. “Why is this on me? I didn’t kill you last night, so I have to protect you from now on, right?”

He glanced at the demon dhole. “Since Li Ye is here now, should I kill him or not?

The demon dhole said in his heart, “Of course not. If you let him continue, he might make you commit suicide. Shut him up...” The demon dhole tipped the demon bear a wink for a long time, but the demon bear was completely unmoved. Only then did he realize that the demon bear didn’t understand what he meant at all...

The demon dhole’s face twitched, and he finally realized that he couldn’t count on the demon bear, so he decided to save the situation on his own. The City Lord’s Mansion couldn’t take this bad reputation. Moreover, he had to find a way to convict Li Ye of killing demons, so he said, “Last night, the Star Pavilion...”

“Lord, were you also in the Star Pavilion last night?” Li Ye immediately looked at the demon bear and asked, “The demons who wanted to kill me were the demon tiger and his men of Star Pavilion. Do you know them?”

“I was not there. I don’t know them. Don’t be ridiculous! I don’t know anything!” The demon bear immediately denied it. “I can’t admit that. If I admit that, my plan will be exposed.”

The cultivators of the demon clan in front of the door immediately engaged in a discussion.

The demon bear heard a demon saying, “Why is the Lord so stupid? Prince An came to our demon clan, and he was assassinated by demons in our city, but the Lord doesn’t know anything. If this spread out, we will lose face.”

Another demon said, “The Lord is guilty. He’s the Lord, so he has to be responsible for this. Prince An was badly injured. I feel painful when I see him. The assassinators should be arrested as soon as possible. They dared to assassinate Prince An, so the mastermind must have a powerful background.”

The nearby demons immediately echoed.

The demon bear was dumbfounded. “Did I say anything wrong?”

He looked at the two demons who were speaking. One was a demon wolf, and the other was a demon jackal. “Why did they look like they knew this very well? You two look a little familiar. What’s going on?”

“Prince An, we still have to look into the matter. We can’t jump to...” The demon bear was completely swayed by Li Ye, so the demon dhole spoke and wanted to save the situation again.

“Bastard! Who are you? Why did you keep chipping in? I’m Prince An of the Tang Empire, and I’m invited by the Seven Sages. I’m talking to the Lord. Do you have the right to interrupt?” Li Ye said unhappily, “If someone is so rude to me in the Tang Empire, I can kill him immediately!”

The demon dhole thought, “I was not rude to you, and I did nothing...”

When the demon dhole shut up, Li Ye vomited a mouthful of blood again and his body swayed. He was about to collapse. He stared hard at the demon bear and said, “You’re not doing well in keeping the public security, causing me to be injured, and delaying the plan of the Seven Sages. Can you bear the charge?”

The demon bear opened his mouth in a panic. “Prince An, let’s have a talk. Don’t spit blood...”

He felt his scalp getting numb. He was afraid that Li Ye would die in front of his door for no reason. If so, the Macaque King wouldn’t protect him, and the other sages would definitely skin him.

“I’m about to die. It’s all because of you!” Li Ye emphasized again. “Shouldn’t you be responsible? Shouldn’t you save me?”

When he finished speaking, the demon wolf and the demon jackal in the crowd began to speak again. They shouted something like “be responsible “, “save Prince An”, and “be duty-bound”. It soon struck a chord with the nearby demons, and many demons shouted at the same time.

The demon bear felt that the sky was going to collapse, so he quickly came over and helped Li Ye. “Yes, yes! Prince An, tell me. What do you want me to do?”

“Take out all the Magic Treasures in your mansion!” Li Ye immediately said.
