Chapter 217: Giant Snake
“Hiss hiss hiss, what a mighty Brother Ma!”
In the evening, Feng Qingquan, who was meditating in the carriage, suddenly heard a voice transmitting through his mind.
This mind transmission carried the sound of a snake flicking its tongue, and an air of domineering majesty.
There was only one type of snake with such a domineering voice!
Feng Qingquan exited the carriage and saw a King Cobra coiled beneath the nearby forest.
The King Cobra’s scales were black, like pieces of black jade, with white horizontal bands. The scales on the back of its neck were “^” shaped, appearing elegant and noble.
Its head was broad and flat, its eyes deep and sharp. Its black pupils revealed an air of dominance and invincibility.
Coupled with its body as thick as a horse, and a coiled length that was impossible to discern.
This was a King Cobra of the Great Demon realm, a true king of snakes!
“Feng Qingquan of the Human-Demon World Family greets Senior King Cobra!” Feng Qingquan bowed respectfully to the King Cobra.
Their Human-Demon World Family, while traveling the Jianghu, feared not the Great Demons, but the Lesser Demons.
Because Great Demons always had use for their Human-Demon World Family, Lesser Demons might recklessly kill him without a second thought.
“Hiss hiss hiss~ I was wondering why such a mighty Brother Ma was pulling the carriage, so it’s a youngster from the Human-Demon World Family!” The King Cobra said lazily.
She was originally heading to the Eastern Sea, but on the way, she heard the sound of hooves. Following the sound, she saw a blood Qi as strong as a furnace.
It must be a Horse Demon of the Great Demon realm.
She hadn’t heard of any Great Demon Horse Demons in this area!
Driven by curiosity, she came to this forest and saw Skinny Horse pulling the carriage, hence her greeting.
“Isn’t the Human-Demon World Family in the north? Why are you in the southeast? Are you going to the sea too?” She asked.
“No! This junior is touring the Nine Provinces, passing through the southeast, and heading to the South Sea Market.” Feng Qingquan explained.
“Hiss hiss hiss~ I thought you were so well-informed that you were going to the sea!” She looked at Skinny Horse and said.
“What information? Don’t keep us in suspense!” Skinny Horse couldn’t help but say, seeing the King Cobra circling around.
Although he and the King Cobra were both in the Great Demon realm, there were still differences within the Great Demon realm!
The reason the King Cobra found him mighty and extraordinary was because she was truly strong.
“Since Brother Ma has spoken, I won’t keep you in suspense!” The King Cobra flicked its tongue and said, “On the other side of the sea, demons and humans have re-established a New Demon Nation.”
“Huh?” Skinny Horse was stunned and couldn’t help but say, “What? New Demon Nation? Are there that many demon clans? Aren’t we fighting each other to the death already?”
Feng Qingquan remained silent. Skinny Horse had voiced the questions in his mind.
To establish a Demon Nation, a large number of demon clans were needed, and most importantly, a dominant demon clan.
For example, a Demon Nation could be established with the Ape Clan as the main body, where the majority of the demon clans were Ape Clan. The Ape Clan would then rule the entire Demon Nation with their own code of conduct.
Other demon clans could stay if they agreed, and leave if they didn’t.
Now, a New Demon Nation had suddenly appeared overseas. What was their dominant demon clan?
“Hiss hiss hiss~ The old Demon Nation required too many demon clans.” The King Cobra said, “I heard from the Albatross messenger that they are now establishing a New Demon Nation, a nation where humans and demons live together.”
“……That sounds like bullshit!” Skinny Horse felt like it was nonsense. Humans were so cunning, how could they possibly live in the same nation as them?
“No!” The King Cobra said, “On that continent, there are no martial artists! We can be worshipped as gods by humans. My Feathered Serpent cousin spends all day doing nothing but eating and sleeping, it’s a very comfortable life.”
“Huh?” Feng Qingquan said, “There are also humans on that continent? And no martial artists?”
“Yes! They don’t know martial arts, they rely on rituals to obtain power from us demon clans. We are like gods to them.” The King Cobra said with a grin, “Hiss hiss hiss~ It’s really interesting!”
“That’s a bit far-fetched!” Skinny Horse shook his head, “I don’t believe it!”

“Hiss hiss hiss~ No snake would dare deceive me, because they know the consequences.” The King Cobra said proudly.
King Cobras loved to eat all kinds of snakes.
Her journey to the other side of the sea was like this, no matter what, she wouldn’t lose.
Feng Qingquan was pondering the words of the Great Demon King Cobra, wondering how much of it was true. This way of stopping people on the road and asking if they were going to the other side of the sea felt a bit strange to him.
While he was still thinking, he heard the King Cobra say, “Brother Ma, are you interested? We can go there together and look after each other. With Brother Ma’s mighty and extraordinary appearance, you might become the new Demon King there.”
Skinny Horse glanced at the King Cobra and said, “I’m not going. I’m doing well here. I can go anywhere, but becoming a Demon King there? You’re crazy!”
“Hiss hiss hiss~ What a pity!” Seeing Skinny Horse’s refusal, the King Cobra didn’t try to persuade him anymore. She turned to continue towards the Eastern Sea.
“I heard, I heard there are Dragon Clans appearing in the Black Sea, I wonder if it’s true!”
After dropping this line, she plunged into the forest. She didn’t need to hide, just swaggered through the trees, leaving a path wide enough for a person.
A Great Demon like her, as long as she didn’t encounter a very powerful martial artist, was invincible in the wild.
“Master Ma, how much of what she said is believable?” Feng Qingquan asked after the King Cobra left.
“Maybe not a single word is believable, maybe every word is true!” Skinny Horse sneered.
Every word being true didn’t mean that every word was trustworthy.
“There are still Dragon Clans in the Black Sea? Weren’t they all killed a thousand years ago?” Feng Qingquan also felt that the King Cobra had hidden meanings in her words.
Coincidence? Intentional? Or was she trying to trick them and ambush them halfway?
The Black Sea wasn’t a specific sea area, but the depths of the ocean, where there was no light, hence the name Black Sea.
Many Great Sea Demons liked to stay in the Black Sea.
No other reason, it was just quieter!
A thousand years ago, there were still Dragon Clans active in the Black Sea, but now there had been no news of them for many years.
“Don’t worry about it, let’s keep moving, we’re almost at the South Sea Market! Once we get there and board the ship back, grandpa will be safe.” Skinny Horse lowered his head and said, “Taking care of you brat all this way has tired grandpa out.”
“……” Feng Qingquan retorted, “Master Ma, I’m also tired from washing the carriage!”
“Wasn’t that your own fault, you brat?” Skinny Horse sneered.
You little rascal, you’re just being mischievous.
Feng Qingquan didn’t say anything, just kept thinking about his experiences along the way.
The Yellow Heaven Path in Yi Province, the Farming Monk in Yong Province, the special Yangzhou, the overseas Demon Nation, the Dragon Clans in the Black Sea.
He had a feeling that a great storm was brewing in the Jianghu.
This is like the demon clan version of tricking pigs.
