Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1032 - 860: Four Times a Day_2

"If only we knew the Demon King’s name or appearance, at least we could check the Book of Life and Death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Li retorted with a twitch of his mouth: "Don’t daydream, the Demon Realm is vast and chaotic. Anyone who wants to be king there has to guard against Curse Techniques. Real names and appearances are absolutely not going to be known by any cultivator.

Besides, even if you knew, what would it change?

Don’t forget, the Netherworld only has one Judge who can control the Book of Life and Death; what realm has he cultivated to?

To become Demon King, one must at least be at Mahayana Peak or Tribulation Crossing Realm as a demon cultivator, and be extremely skilled in battles and techniques. Forget knowing their life or appearance, even if the Demon King stood right before the Judge and let him check the Book of Life and Death, how much could he possibly glean?"

Qu Luming was taken aback, then nodded in agreement: "That is true. The Judge is indeed troubled; though he holds the Book of Life and Death, he can’t increase his own lifespan. Ultimately, he’s not a True God, merely an agent, like a demon!

You have to rely on your realm; without the ability to advance and increase lifespan, even if Fengdu protects you, you’ll still die. Realm, that’s the lifeline of a cultivator!"

"You’re right, so you better seize the time to cultivate well." Du Li said casually, "Even if you do nothing else, once your realm reaches a certain level, Fengdu would be willing to give you an honorary position to hang on to..."

The man, ghost, and demon each had their own little schemes in mind, and began to chat idly.

Twelve hours later, Du Li inexplicably felt an indescribable irritation. Sure enough, wisps of black air began to spread in the corner of the quiet room, and the sharp, sarcastic voice rang out again, "How dare you let others insult me like this? I am you, you are me, how do you not understand this principle..."

"Duang!"

[Du Li’s heart demon -500]

Jiang Yuan already gained experience; upon discovering the monster spawning point, he immediately smashed it without giving the heart demon any time to form.

Then it let out an "Ow!" and scattered away again.

Meanwhile, Du Li experienced the extremes of ice and fire.

Having seen the light, he couldn’t bear the darkness. Once he completely rid himself of the heart demon, he realized how pleasant the daily life of other cultivators could be. So when the heart demon reappeared, his inner anxiety and unease reached intolerable, excruciating levels.

At this critical moment, Jiang Yuan swiftly smashed down, bringing peace to the whole world again; simultaneously, indescribable pain flooded over, almost knocking him out.

He truly wanted to find a place without people, cover his head and cry out loud like a child to alleviate the pain.

But Du Li cared about his dignity; eyes red and secretly sucking cold air in, he had to pretend he wasn’t much affected.

Qu Luming: ???

What are they doing?

Just when he was saying this, Mr. Jiang darted out like a rabbit, holding a chilling, ghostly object, and smashed it into the shadowy corner. Immediately, he retracted his divine power, not even seeing what that thing was;

And his real body behaved even more strangely, as if Mr. Jiang’s distant strike landed on him, making his skin involuntarily tremble.

"Thank you, sir!" Du Li, enduring the pain deep in his bones and soul, trembled and stood up to offer his thanks.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, laughing: "Fortunately, it loves to babble and sow discord, allowing me to smash it while still in its initial form; otherwise, once it runs wild throughout the room, it would be a hassle to deal with."

Qu Luming had even more question marks over his head, wondering what the two were talking about?

"Who" is this? Chatterbox? Scatter?

Are my eyes malfunctioning? Why can’t I see anything?

Could Mr. Jiang be attacking a ghost? No, I am a ghost, but is there a ghost I can’t see?

Sowing discord again? Why can’t I hear anything?

Seeing the clone doubting his ghost-life, Du Li waved and said, "It has nothing to do with you; don’t meddle. Also, I will soon leave this quiet room; if you need me in the future, go to the Council Hall. Remember to knock!"

"Are you speaking nonsense?" Qu Luming looked puzzled, thinking, didn’t you rob City Lord Yuan’s Life Origin and suffer heavenly punishment, not daring to cross the tribulation nor stepping out of the array-filled quiet room?

Now you’re clamoring about going out, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?

Du Li clenched his fist in pain and glared at him, "What are you talking about? Had enough to drink? If you’re done, get out, I have important matters to discuss with Mr. Jiang."

Upon hearing this, there must be some secretive big matter inside!

Qu Luming thought, how could I leave? I might be able to reap some benefits!

"Hehe, you go ahead and chat, just consider me non-existent—I’ll have a bit more drink." He took a sip from his teacup, stubbornly refusing to leave.

With no heart demon interfering, Du Li became a bit more tolerant of his incarnation.

Throwing him a glance without chasing him away, he squeezed out a slight smile and asked, "According to your view, sir, how many times a day is suitable?"

"At least three times a day would be safer; if Alliance Leader Du can withstand it, four times works faster!" Jiang Yuan, after all, just needs to wield the Demon-Subduing Pestle to hit, naturally willing to coordinate with Miss He for the same batch, hitting two people at once without any delay.

Upon hearing he has to be hit four times daily, Du Li’s face instantly grew a few shades paler.

Then pondering, after being initially scattered, six hours later, the heart demon almost fully formed again, its influence was still substantial. Therefore, two hits daily barely ensures not being controlled by the heart demon; three hits are safe, and four hits guarantee no risk.
