Chapter 831: In The Demonic Smoke (II)
The thick demonic aura on the man clearly gave him away as a northern devil cultivator or rogue, so Li Wushao flicked his tongue and answered, "I am a protector under Master Monk Kongheng of Yan State! And what about you, what unit are you from to be prying this much?"
The snake demon spoke with conviction, but inwardly grumbled, Damn it... using that monk's name again. I’ve practically been his mount these past months! What a disgrace...
The man hesitated. Though most Buddhist cultivator forces were now centered around the Way of Emptiness, Way of Compassion, and Way of Virtue, representatives of all seven northern sects had shown up. Who could say where this Kongheng fit in?
Still, seeing the snake demon so confident, he replied coldly, "I’ve never heard of any Master Monk Kongheng!"
"Blind, are you?!" Li Wushao cursed aloud, slapped the ground with his tail. He pointed directly at him, and roared, "My master is someone even Master Monk Yu Xin of the Great Desire Sect begged in vain for a single debate! And you, a petty devil cultivator, dare bark at someone of such stature?"
Yu Xin had indeed led the initial assault on Mount Yan Pass as a master of the Dao of Great Desire, only to be repelled by Li Qinghong and others. The tale held truth, and with the black serpent holding his head high, his bearing was indeed quite intimidating.
This snake's mouth is vile, thought the devil cultivator.
The devil cultivator was already half-convinced once he heard the name Yu Xin. But being cursed so thoroughly still left him displeased. A trace of doubt lingered in his heart as he said coldly, "If you truly serve such a great master, you must be well-versed in scripture!"
"Hah! You asked for this!" Li Wushao sneered in response and began rapidly reciting the Respected Cultivator's Subduing Words that Kongheng had once taught him. The cryptic and profound incantations echoed through the air. Combined with his earlier claims, it immediately made the devil cultivator in front of him flinch and panic.
