"Is that so?"
Liang Dekuai cast a suspicious glance at Ling Hefan.
He couldn't recall sending out any undercover agents like that.
Not long ago, the Great Liang Kingdom had unified several surrounding nations.
The current Great Liang Empire had absolutely no need for such things!
"Your Majesty, what I meant was that this fellow cultivator yearns for the power of our Great Liang Kingdom, and has traveled a great distance to seek refuge!"
Qu Baobao replied.
"This is when we should demonstrate our great nation's demeanor and spirit of tolerance!"
"Well said!" Liang Dekuai nodded in deep agreement.
With a wave of his hand, he declared, "Grant him a seat!"
And just like that.
Ling Hefan became a distinguished guest of the Great Liang Kingdom...
Even he himself exclaimed internally, "Holy crap!"
"This actually worked???"
He had only approached it with a mind to try his luck.
Never did he expect it to be so successful!
Sitting on the stool, Ling Hefan suddenly felt a surge of smugness.
"I admit you guys are indeed powerful, but aren't you still fooled by this old man?!"
"As expected!"
"Fools are indeed easy to fool!"
Ling Hefan's situation was merely a minor interlude for the demon beasts like the black gorilla and others.
As long as he didn't pose a threat to the lives of Liang Dekuai and the others, they couldn't be bothered.
What they considered important at the moment was how to deal with Daoming and the others.
"Big Brother, I say we kill them all!" a wolf demon's eyes gleamed. "I love killing the most..."
*Bang!*
Before the wolf demon could finish speaking, it received a blow to the head.
"Don't be so quick to resort to violence!" the black gorilla said impatiently. "We are civilized demon beasts!"
"Or we could just eat them all!" a tiger demon next to it licked its lips.
Then it also received a blow to the head.
"Have you forgotten what Master said?" the black gorilla glared at it fiercely. "If you ever say something like that again, I'll take you to have a chat with Brother Ant!"
"Big Brother... I was just joking..."
The tiger demon was so scared it almost lost its soul!
Having a "chat" with Brother Ant was simply too terrifying!
"Big Brother, their clothes look pretty good!" a cat demon's eyes lit up as it looked at Daoming and the others.
It was still wearing a skirt it had stripped from a palace maid, but it wasn't a good fit, making it feel very uncomfortable.
At this moment, it set its sights on Daoming's Taoist robe!
As the sect leader, Daoming's Taoist robe was naturally the most prestigious among them.
Whether it was the material or the workmanship, it made the cat demon extremely tempted.
"Hm?" The black gorilla's heart stirred. "That's a good idea!"
It was unclear what kind of bizarre modifications the two masters had performed on these guys.
They had a peculiar obsession and fondness for clothing...
Then, a group of demon beasts, chuckling sinisterly, walked towards Daoming and the others.
Daoming and the others were terrified...
Although they hadn't understood what the demon beasts had said earlier,
Their instincts told them it was definitely not something good!
"Wait a moment!" Daoming struggled to get up from the ground and shouted loudly, "We are also undercover agents!"
He had clearly seen Ling Hefan's actions just now.
Since these lunatics were so easily fooled, why shouldn't he try it too?!
Moreover, from his previous observations, he realized that these demon beasts could probably understand human speech!
The other cultivators reacted and quickly shouted in unison,
"That's right, we're all on the same side!"
Unfortunately, it was of no use...
They were soon overwhelmed by the demon beasts, who descended upon them like wolves and tigers...
Although the terrifying attacks they had imagined did not materialize,
What was happening now was equally agonizing for them.
"What's wrong with these demon beasts?!"
"Why are you stripping my clothes?!"
Later, they realized that losing their clothes was better than dying, so they endured it.
Some even voluntarily took off their Taoist robes and offered them to the demon beasts with forced smiles.
The demon beasts nodded with satisfaction.
"You're good, kid, very sensible."
Then the demon beast pointed at the cultivator's undergarments.
The cultivator: "???"
"Weren't you just asking for the Taoist robes?"
The demon beast's expression immediately turned unfriendly!
"I'll take them off..."
Under pressure, the cultivator reluctantly shed his undergarments.
Soon.
He was left with only a pair of pants...
The demon beasts then took the clothes with satisfaction and began to put them on.
Actually, if it were just this, it wouldn't be too bad.
After all, having a pair of pants was still decent enough for decency's sake.
At least their lives were saved, right?
But the problem was, there were female cultivators among them...
Although female cultivators in the cultivation world were generally more liberal, not all of them were.
Being stripped bare in public was beyond their limit.
"This one won't do..." the female cultivator clutched her chest garment tightly, looking pleadingly at the demon beast in front of her.
Unfortunately, it was of no use.
These were, after all, demon beasts. They wouldn't bother with courtesy like the male cultivators.
If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being rude!
The demon beast immediately lunged towards the female cultivator.
The female cultivator unleashed an unprecedented burst of strength, desperately protecting her clothes.
This enraged the demon beast!
It immediately slapped at the female cultivator!
*"Bang—!"*
The female cultivator was sent flying into the sky!
And the chest garment she had desperately protected shattered from the blow...
The ministers of the Great Liang Kingdom looked up at the sky.
"Such great evil!"
"Indeed, it's too evil!"
"No, I must eliminate this evil now!"
...
One minister was about to rush out,
But was stopped by someone next to him.
"Women only slow down our sword-drawing speed!"
"Hmm, that makes sense!"
The minister nodded and sat back down.
Among the mutated demon beast horde, there was an anomaly.
It was a centipede demon beast, more than ten feet long.
While other demon beasts were stripping clothes, it had set its sights on the cultivators' shoes...
What else could it do? It had too many feet...
As it was happily pulling off shoes, a dark shadow landed on its back.
*"Bang!"*
The centipede demon beast turned its head and took a look.
It was a naked female cultivator.
The female cultivator was already filled with shame and indignation.
Now, being stared at by such a large bug, she felt goosebumps all over!
Then she rolled her eyes and fainted...
No matter how attractive this female cultivator was, it held no allure for the demon beasts.
After all, they were not the same species.
The centipede demon beast unhappily lifted a leg and kicked the female cultivator away.
Then it continued to happily strip shoes.
*"Whoosh—!"*
*"Bang!"*
The pitiful female cultivator flew out, landing on a wolf demon not far away.
"Who the hell threw a projectile at me?!" the wolf demon, holding the female cultivator by the neck, yelled at those around it.
Unfortunately, its companions were either busy stripping clothes or putting them on, and no one paid him any attention.
The wolf demon sniffed the female cultivator.
It smelled like that centipede fellow!
Then the wolf demon released its grip and spread its legs!
*"Bang!"*
The unconscious female cultivator was accurately thrown back onto the centipede demon beast.
