Chapter 16: Strength Of A Great Yao

Amidst the strange atmosphere, Zhuang Qing was the first to shift his line of sight. He looked at the Zhuyan. "You're saying you've never seen the yao emperor before?"

"I may not have seen him before, but I've heard of his outstanding prowess in combat," The Zhuyan didn't know how powerful the yao emperor was, but in front of his captors, he couldn't wait to describe the yao emperor as a heavenly, omnipotent, super great yao. "His Majesty the yao emperor appears and disappears unpredictably. If he knew you were treating the yao race this way, he would definitely seek justice for my yao race."

"That may not be the case," Xu Yuan was scribbling on a book with a pen. Hearing the Zhuyan's words, she retorted, "It's not like you represent the entire yao race. The number of yao cultivators we have here aren't few either, what if the yao emperor stands on our side?"

"Yao emperor daren is of utmost respectability, how could he wallow in the mire with all of you?" The Zhuyan gave an arrogant, cold smile. "All of you had best wish for more fortune. Enraging the yao emperor could cause tsunamis, the leveling of mountains, and the destruction of the entire nation in a blink of an eye."

"Is that yao emperor an idiot? Does he have nothing better to do than cause tsunamis and level mountains? The land under the Heavens is huge and possesses its own principles. If some great yao really dared to do such a thing, would heavenly law allow it?" Fu Li mercilessly called out the Zhuyan for the bullsh*t he was spouting. "King Zhuyan, you've lived for almost ten thousand years, how can you so shamelessly cheat the younger generation with such words?"

"It's you again," The Zhuyan was angered just from seeing Fu Li. If it wasn't for this yaoguai, he wouldn't have been shut in this place. "What kind of mountain were you staying at in the past, I've never seen a yao who meddled so much in someone else's business."

"Only through mutual help can a harmonious homeland be built," Fu Li didn't mind the Zhuyan's mocking tone of voice either. Turning, he spoke to Zhuang Qing, "My apologies, I won't be able to help you. I've never seen any strange great yao whose appearance matches the Zhuyan's description."

"Mr Fu, you can't be blamed for that," Xu Yuan brought a sketchbook over. She had sketched out the yao emperor's appearance according to the Zhuyan's words and then realized that the combination of these elements made for an extremely odd appearance. "I suspect that the truth was distorted in the yao world that year. By the time it reached the Zhuyan's ears, it had long since changed."

Zhuang Qing took the sketchbook, shot a glance at it, and then shoved it at Fu Li. Fu Li held it up. A mountain-like body, sharp golden fur, and two pairs of wings – what kind of hideous mess was this? This appearance looked way too haphazard.

"With this appearance, using his original body to fight probably wouldn't give him much of an advantage," Fu Li turned the sketchbook around multiple ways, examining it quite a few times. "Fights in the yao world revolve around speed, ferocity, and precision. Although this legendary yao emperor has a huge body, the four wings are in disharmony with the body. I don't know what his tail looks like, but if his body can be as large as a mountain, then the flexibility of his tail is probably extremely low. He has no advantage in battle."

"Given his cultivation, if he fought with other yaoguai using his human form, the other yaoguai wouldn't be able to tell what his original form is either. How would they be able to describe his appearance?" Fu Li handed the sketchbook back to Xu Yuan before turning to speak to the Zhuyan. "So, you must be lying."

The Zhuyan swallowed. Looking up, he saw Zhuang Qing staring straight at him and immediately shrunk into a ball from the fright. "I didn't lie. I al-also heard this from other yaoguai."
