I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 131 The strange altar

After walking about a hundred meters in the direction of the sound, Zhang Yuan saw the two sides fighting.

Four strong human youths and a huge scaly beast.

The four teenagers had muscles all over their bodies, each holding a spear in their hands, and they were fighting fiercely with the scale beast.

Zhang Yuan saw clearly that although these four human youths were physically strong, they were not Qi refiners and had only brute strength.

On the other hand, the scale beast has the cultivation of a demon, and it is also a fifth-level demon. With one fighting four, not only does it not fall behind, but it also has a clear advantage.

At this moment, the scaled beast suddenly slapped a palm towards one of the teenagers. The boy could not dodge and could only fight with the scaled beast with his fists.

"boom."

After a loud noise, the boy flew upside down and fell heavily to the ground, unable to move.

"Master, let's go and help those humans! Otherwise, they will all die at the claws of the scale beast." Peacock said anxiously.

Zhang Yuan glanced at Peacock and asked: "Peacock, let me ask you a question, are we a human race or a demon race?"

"Of course it's a demon clan!"

"Since you are a demon clan, why do you help humans kill demons?"

"This..." Peacock was speechless for a moment.

"Remember, we only kill demons that pose a threat to us. Of course, we also kill humans, gods, and Buddhas that pose a threat to us."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he was ready to take a detour, not wanting to meddle in other people's business.

He came to the Mohe tribe this time to get rid of the strange immortals and get enshrinements from the human race. The life and death of a few human race teenagers had nothing to do with him.

"boom."

With a loud bang, another human boy was knocked away, and the remaining two struggled to hold on.

"Master." Peacock shouted again, looking at Zhang Yuan with tears in his eyes.

"Ugh!"

Zhang Yuan sighed softly, "Peacock, go and separate them! Don't hurt the human boy, let alone the monster."

"Thank you, master."

The peacock said happily, jumped up, and came between the two sides fighting fiercely. With a movement of demonic power, he directly forced both sides back.

"Okay, stop fighting." Peacock said.

"You are a demon, why are you helping humans?" the scale beast asked.

He obviously sensed the evil spirit in Peacock and knew that he was no match for her.

"I don't like to see dead people. Now you have the upper hand. I want to save the human race. If the human race has the upper hand, I will save you. Is this okay?" Peacock said with a serious face.

After hearing what she said, the scale beast couldn't fault it and could only say: "I guess what you said makes sense."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Scaly Beast." Zhang Yuan suddenly shouted, "Let me give you a suggestion. You go to Biling Mountain, find the Demon King Shark, and join his demon army. Just say that Zhang Yuan asked you to go."

Zhang Yuan was very satisfied with the performance of the scale beast just now. Seeing that he was a fifth-level demon, he fell in love with talents and wanted to take him under his command.

"Zhang Yuan?" The scaled beast repeated, but he obviously had not heard Zhang Yuan's name. He just said: "I was going to Biling Mountain, but I was stopped by a few of them when I passed by. They wanted to kill me. I eat meat, hehe, I really don’t overestimate my ability.”

"That's good. Go quickly!" Zhang Yuan said.

"Farewell."

The scale-armored beast said something and strode towards the direction of Biling Mountain. Peacock walked towards several teenagers.

"Are you...also a demon?" One of the red-haired boys asked, pointing his spear at the peacock, keeping a wary mind.

"Of course I am a demon, but I don't eat people or kill people. You don't need to be afraid. The scale beast is gone. You should go home quickly!" Peacock said.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Yuan suddenly said, "Are you from the Mohe tribe?"

"Yes." The red-haired boy said.

"The peacock saved your life. In return, you have to answer a few questions for me."

"Ask you!" the red-haired boy said happily, putting down the spear in his hand.

"Tell me about Mohebu."

"Our Mohe tribe is the descendant of the Wu tribe. There are twelve tribes, namely the Dijiang tribe, the Jumang tribe, the Zhurong tribe, the Pangshou tribe, the Gonggong tribe, the Xuanming tribe, the Houtu tribe, the Qiangliang tribe, and the Zhujiu tribe. Yinbu, Tianwu, Xizi, Shebishi, and we belong to the most powerful Dijiang tribe among the twelve tribes." The red-haired boy said with pride.

"Let me ask you something. In the past few years, have many young and middle-aged men disappeared from your Mohe tribe?"

The red-haired boy was shocked when he heard this, "How do you know?"

"You don't need to ask this, just tell me if it is."

"In the past five years, more than 70,000 young and middle-aged men have disappeared from the Twelve Mohe tribes, and none of them have been found so far." The red-haired boy said truthfully.

Zhang Yuan nodded, "Do you know who did it?"

The red-haired boy shook his head, "The guard elders of the Twelve Tribes of Mohe have joined forces to investigate, but so far there is no clue. The chiefs of the Twelve Tribes have gone to Xuantian Sect in Mohe Mountain many times to ask for their help, but there has been no reply yet."

Zhang Yuan was slightly surprised, "Xuan Tian Sect?"

"Exactly, it is an immortal cultivating sect. The sect leader and his two junior brothers are both Golden Immortals. There are also ten disciples under the sect, all Taiyi Xuanxian. There are also more than two thousand disciples of various levels. They are powerful, but even They can't find out who kidnapped those young men." The red-haired boy said.

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly when he heard this, "Okay, I've finished what I want to ask, you can go!"

The red-haired boy took the lead in saluting the peacock, "Thank you for saving your life. I will remember it forever."

After saying these words, the red-haired boy and the other four people left in a hurry.

"Master, this Xuantian Sect is probably the Guixian Sect." Changjun said.

"Isn't it? You can tell at a glance." Zhang Yuan said, "Let's go! Let's follow the footsteps of these young men and go to the Dijiang Department."

About an hour later, Zhang Yuan and others arrived at the Dijiang Department.

This is a large city located in the jungle, with gates on all sides and strong soldiers guarding the gates.

Since Zhang Yuan and others all looked like humans, they easily passed the interrogation and entered the city.

The city was deserted and deserted. Most of the people who could be seen were women and old people. Young and middle-aged men were rarely seen.

This was not unexpected by Zhang Yuan.

With so many young and middle-aged men missing, everyone in the Mohe tribe is already in danger. How can they dare to walk on the streets with such arrogance?

After walking for more than three miles along the deserted streets, Zhang Yuan saw people heading east.

After following them for a while, they saw a tall altar with three floors. The highest sacrificial cauldron was about ten feet above the ground. Around the altar, seven-colored flags fluttered in the wind.

There were tens of thousands of people standing around the altar, all of them with solemn expressions, which made people feel a little abnormal.

On the altar, an old man wearing royal robes was burning incense, holding three pillars of incense high in his hand and worshiping the sky.

Zhang Yuan clearly sensed that there was a very strange aura around the altar.

The whole world seems to be breathing, and the tens of thousands of people surrounding the altar are also breathing with this breath! ! !
