I Swear I Don't Have A Python In My Pool

Wang Mang did not act rashly in front of this powerful demon.

Judging from its aura, this leopard demon should have reached rhe Immortal Emperor realm, and was stronger than he was.

Furthermore, this leopard demon probably had some sort of backing, so even if he was stronger, Wang Mang would not dare to mess with it.

What if it was some big shot’s mount? Would he then not be asking for trouble? Then, he recalled something. Leopard demon? Was this not the Nanshan King? If SO) then this was rhe same demon who was beaten to death while Tang Sanzang and the others were on the way to ger rhe scriptures.

(T/N: Tang Sanzang is the main character in the Journey to the West series.)

If this guy was still alive, that meant that the group had not made it this far yer. Thinking this, Wang Mang said respectfully, “I didn’t know that this was your territory, great one. Please forgive me.”

Hearing Wang Mang’s words, the leopard demon s expression softened slightly. The leopard demon then felt that it would be a good idea to recruit Wang Mang, as the latter had almost reached the peak of the Immortal King realm.

Before long, Wang Mang would likely catch up to his own cultivation level.

The leopard demon, who called himself the Nanshan King, then said, “That’s reasonable. In that case, Brother, why don’t you come to my lair as a guest?¹¹ Wang Mang was dumbfounded by this invitation, but did not dare to reject the invitation. He smiled and said respectfully, “1 am honored by your invitation, Your Majesty. In that case, please allow me to impose on your hospitality.¹¹

His reply put the Nanshan King in a good mood. He laughed and said, “Don’t worry, you won’t be a bother. We demons are all brothers.”

Then, at the Nanshan King’s behest, Wang Mang arrived at the former’s lair. Surprisingly, this leopard demon had quite a few demon subordinates.

Of course, their strength was nothing worth shouting about, as most of them were cannon fodder-level. The strongest among them were two Heaven Immortal realm demons, which were a silver-backed wolf and a black-skinned pig demon

It seemed that there were Tier 3 beings in this world, after all.

“Great King! Your Majesty!”

Upon seeing the Nanshan King and Wang Mang, the demons immediately swarmed over to greet them.

“Okay, go prepare food and wine. Today, the Misty Mountain has a distinguished guest!”

The leopard demon smiled and waved his hand in a very imposing manner.

Upon hearing this, the group of demons respectfully scattered and left to set up the banquet. At the same time, they glanced at Wang Mang, sizing him up.

Their eyes were filled with respect and envy. Only those that were truly powerful could obtain the Nanshan King’s favor, right?

Furthermore, they could sense from Wang Mang’s aura that his strength far exceeded their own.

At the same time, the Nanshan King leaned back on his throne and asked Wang Mang with a smile, “Brother, where did you come from and where are you going?”

Wang Mang smiled and said, “I came from the Western Ox Prefecture and am preparing to head to the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture.”

The Nanshan King was very surprised by this and replied in astonishment, “Brother, why do you want to go to the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture? Right now, that place is in turmoil!”

“Daoists and Saints, as well as the Western Gods and Buddhas, are all gathered in the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture. I’m afraid something big is about to happen!”

“Brother, if it’s not necessary, avoid going to the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture!”

Hearing this, Wang Mang was stunned, and countless thoughts filled his mind. However, he kept silent, not wanting to accidently say the wrong thing rashly. He could tell from these words that something big was happening.

Thinking of this, Wang Mang hurriedly asked, “Your Majesty, why do you say that?”

“Brother, you may not know this, but the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture is in grave danger. I have a demon brother there who has sent me a message.” “It’s said that a divine monkey appeared in the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture, and that this monkey was transformed from Nuwa’s Heaven Nourishing Stone. It has a great background and has karma with the Sage!” At this point, the Nanshan King’s face was filled with emotion, bur his eyes revealed a trace of envy. Someone with that background was already ahead of the others at the starting line, and would obviously have boundless future achievements.

Then, the Nanshan King suddenly thought of something and added, “Oh, that’s right. Don’t go to Chang’an in the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture either. It’s stormy and eventful right now, so it’s best to stay in the Western Ox Prefecture.”

After saying that, the Nanshan King spirit looked ar Wang Mang expectantly.

He hoped that Wang Mang would give up on going to the Eastern Victory

Divine Prefecture. If Wang Mang stayed here, he would likely be able to recruit Wang Mang.

After hearing rhe Nanshan King’s words, Wang Mang fell into a state of deep thought as he digested the information that he had just received.

Based on the current situation, Sun Wukong was just born, and the journey to the West had yet to commence.

In fact, it was very likely that Sun Wukong had not even set off for Mount Innerheart or the Tristar Crescent Abode. Wang Mang pondered rhe matter for a moment before coming to a decision.

He had to find a master soon!

Thinking this, Wang Mang cupped his hands and said, “Thankyou for your kind reminder, Your Majesty. I won’t be going to the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture.”

Hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Nanshan King was overjoyed, and he immediately smiled warmly and said, “Brother, if you don’t mind, you can stay here with me.”

“If Brother is willing to stay, you and 1 will both be the kings of this mountain, and we ll be like brothers, going through thick and thin.”

Clearly, in order to make Wang Mang stay, this fellow had truly gone all out, and was even willing to allow Wang Mang to stand on equal footing with him. To be honest, this was a display of great sincerity.

Even Wang Mang was surprised and somewhat moved.

If it were him, he definitely would not do anything of the like. Of course, although he was moved, there was no way he was going to accept the offer.

After all, he knew very well what would happen to the Nanshan King. Once the Journey to the West officially began, the Nanshan King would not be able to escape death!

He was also one of the few demons in the Journey to the West who had no background!
