Indestructible God King - Chapter 135.2
Chapter 135.2 The Very Thoughtful Wang Ke (2/2)
Just when everyone was chatting joyfully—distant, sharp squeaks were heard.
“Squeaaak!”
A swarm of bats moved toward the group, while carrying a few dozen men in black robes.
They were the demons operating in the capital; their gripping Mahjong games were finished and had finally rushed over.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Calligraphy? What a load of cr*ap!” a demon chided his subordinate.
“It’s true! Zhu Yan was really writing just now! Everyone was watching him!” a weak demon answered anxiously.
“Nonsense! You are the one messing around with calligraphy! Look! That group of righteous cultivators captured Zhu Yan, didn’t you see that? The Parlor Lord is going to punish us if that troublemaker dies! I can’t even task you with finding out what happened here?” the demon superior complained.
The demonic underling could only take the blame and feel frustrated.
“You righteous lot, how dare you interfere with the imperial succession in the Mortal Zone? Brothers, ready your arms!” the demon leader cried out.
“Hmm? Oh, wait. That’s… Brother Wang?” a demon shouted.
“Ahh? It really is Brother Wang!”
“Why is he here?”
“Didn’t Brother Wang become a Hall Lord in the Heavenly Wolf Sect? Is he a righteous disciple?”
“Nonsense! The Demon Sovereign personally appointed him Branch Lord! He saved us during the Nether Demon Assembly! What are you trying to do?”
“But, what if…!”
“There is no ‘what if,’ get rid of these righteous people first!”

The demons took out their weapons.
“Ready for battle!” Zhao Si also pointed his sword toward the demons.
“Wang Ke, quick! Hide! They’re going to fight!” Zhang Zhengdao urged Wang Ke, anxiously tugging at the other man’s sleeves.
“Hide? For what!” Wang Ke shouted.
Damn. Zhao Si and his juniors just bought their insurance plans. I’m going to lose a lot of money if even one of them dies!
“Stop!” Wang Ke cried out and stood between the two parties.
Zhao Si and his juniors were stunned. The demons stopped as well, confused by Wang Ke’s actions.
Zhu Yan cried out, “Guys! Don’t stop! Quick, kill them! Wang Ke is now a righteous disciple. Get rid of him! Parlor Lord Zi Bufan will soon bring reinforcements to the capital. Don’t be afraid, kill them!”
“Zhu Yan? Better shut up!” one of the demon superiors shouted with a stare.
Zhao Si and his juniors pointed their swords at Zhu Yan as well. The latter was like a statue, no longer daring to move.
Next, Wang Ke approached the demon in the lead.
“Brother Wang? No, I mean, Branch Lord Wang?” the demon leader said.
“Brothers!” Wang Ke looked at the demon leader and said, “Thank you for coming to help me, but could you please let me settle this? Let’s have a toast later!”
“But, you…! I heard something else… you also became the Heavenly Wolf Sect’s East Wolf Deputy Hall Lord?” the demon leader asked, puzzled.
Wang Ke took out his Divine Dragon Token. Next, he leaned close to the demon leader’s ears and whispered, “The Demon Sovereign knows what I’m doing in the Heavenly Wolf Sect! Parlor Lord Zhu Hongyi is also aware of my mission. Please keep it a secret!”
“Uhh?” the demon leader was astonished at first, but then his face became stern.
Wang Ke was right. Back on Divine Dragon Island, he told the Demon Sovereign and Zhu Hongyi that he wanted to infiltrate the Heavenly Wolf Sect. The most important bit was that neither the Demon Sovereign nor Zhu Hongyi believed him! Both of them dismissed his proposal as a bluff.
Wang Ke wasn’t afraid of a potential leak; after all, he had already told his plans to the Demon Sovereign and Zhu Hongyi. A shroud of mystery was looming over that demon’s mind after the words whispered in his ear.
A mission assigned by the Demon Sovereign and Zhu Hongyi?
Damn, I’d be the first killed if I were to mess it up!
“Of course, I will give a face to Brother Wang! Please!” The demon leader waved his hands and stopped his subordinates.
“Brothers, please keep an eye on Zhu Yan. He doesn’t know a thing and yet he always acts recklessly!” Wang Ke said to the demons.
The demon contingent members nodded in agreement.
Wang Ke then signaled Zhao Si and his juniors; they released Zhu Yan doubtfully.

“Everyone, fight! Fight! Capture Wang Ke, quick!” Zhu Yan urged the demons, “You have the advantage in numbers, and Parlor Lord Zi Bufan will soon arrive with reinforcements. Quick!”
“Shut up!” The demon leader shot him a stare.
Didn’t you hear what Wang Ke said? The Demon Sovereign is behind this. You know nothing! Why are you acting so rashly!
Wang Ke waved a hand, and some of the Wang Clan members quickly brought them chairs, tables, and tea. Although confused, the demons waited patiently as they watched.
“Brother Zhao Si, let us speak somewhere else!” Wang Ke said.
Zhao Si glared at the demons, but he had to give face to Wang Ke.
And so, Wang Ke led him to another courtyard.
“Brother Wang, you are…?” Zhao Si asked, feeling puzzled.
“Brother Zhao Si, I’ll be brief; especially since you are the one who better understands my situation! Do you think I’ve fallen into the demonic path?” Wang Ke asked, looking at the other man straight in the eye.
“How could that be? Why would the Heavenly Wolf Sect not notice if you were a demon? Wouldn’t Chen Tianyuan know?” Zhao Si replied immediately, “Besides, all the righteous sects from the entire Ten-thousand Great Mountains took part in your company’s opening ceremony. If you were a demon, everyone in this world would have to be demons! You must be working undercover to continue rescuing our righteous brothers!”
Zhang Zhengdao’s eyes widened like saucers. Damn it, Wang Ke didn’t even need to open his mouth; you are already making up a story for him?
Wang Ke nodded ambiguously, “Not only that; did you hear what Zhu Yan said about the Dragon Gate Assembly? People from the Demonic Sect are gathering in the capital. I’m afraid there are some dangerous plans being carried out as we speak…!”
“Brother Wang, you’re risking your life to spy on them and find out?” Zhao Si asked in shock.
Wang Ke gave him another ambiguous nod. “Say no more. Please keep this to yourself!”
“Brother Wang, how hard it must be for you right now. Is there anything I can help you with?” Zhao Si sighed in admiration.
“There’s nothing you can do! The Qing Capital is extremely dangerous at the moment. You should take your people and leave; I’ll be handling the situation on my own. Better leave as soon as you can!” said Wang Ke to persuade the other.
You and your team just bought insurance plans! I would take a hit even if only one of you died! Quick, get out of here!
“Brother Wang, I really want to thank you on behalf of the righteous faction! You actually went straight into the lion’s den to spy on their demonic plans! Don’t worry, I will monitor the rest and make sure to stifle any rumors about you mingling with the demonic cultivators!” Zhao Si said emotionally.
“I’ll leave it in your hands!” Wang Ke cupped his hands courteously.
Zhao Si and his juniors were moved by the latter’s daring actions, all on his own. They nodded and left.
Zhang Zhengdao looked at Wang Ke in disbelief. This works too?
“Wang, Wang Ke? Why? Why! The righteous cultivators listen to you; even the guys from the demonic sect listen to you! You told them to stop fighting, and they did? Why?” Zhang Zhengdao looked at Wang Ke, unable to wrap his head around the whole situation.
“Because I’m a respectable person!” Wang Ke replied with a frank stance.
“Respectable? Bullsh*t!” Zhang Zhengdao retorted with envy and disbelief, “I think you’re just bluffing left and right until everyone believes you! Ptooey! Damn it. Why is everyone so stupid? They are nuts!”
