Chapter 2326: Mysterious Book

“A misunderstanding?” Zu An sneered and walked straight at him.

“Stop!” Manager Pi’s guards warned him. They had been assigned by the Monster Lord to ensure Manager Pi’s safety. If something ended up happening to him, heads would roll.

Zu An’s expression was cold. It was as if he didn’t hear anything as he continued to walk toward Manager Pi.

Those footsteps almost seemed to be stepping on the hearts of all the monsters present. Manager Pi reflexively stepped backwards. The other guards also backed up a few steps. For some reason, they felt as if this guy emanated a mysterious pressure that made them feel a bit scared.

Whoosh!

A marksman guard was too nervous and couldn’t hold onto his bowstring steadily. With the slightest slackening of his fingers, an arrow swiftly flew at Zu An. In this kind of tense situation, if one person went first, the others would think that someone had given the order to attack. The arrows they had readied all flew forth.

“Oh no!” The great elder’s legs almost went limp. He'd been about to dissuade Zu An from doing anything, but they suddenly started fighting!

Are the Monster Lord’s guards all like this, unable to maintain their cool?

But the young master really has grown quite a bit after his trip to the Cultivation World. He must’ve felt a lot of pressure from that regent and received some kind of shock. As expected, growth comes from experience.

Even though there were only six marksmen, as the Monster Lord’s guards, how could they just be normal archers? Every single arrow was like an artillery shell, bringing terrifying pressure that was enough to raze the entire medicine garden to the ground. Additionally, the six arrows were coordinated such that they didn’t allow for any room for evasion. No enemy could avoid the attack.

But Zu An’s expression was calm. He didn’t dodge and merely stood in place. Suddenly, he raised his hand.

Manager Pi’s eyes immediately narrowed. He clearly saw that the other party had raised his hand really slowly, as if he was just picking up a falling tree branch.

One, two...

In the blink of an eye, those lightning-like arrows appeared in Zu An's hands.

How is this possible?!

Forget about Manager Pi’s group, even the great elder was a bit confused. When had the young master’s cultivation become so high?

A second later, Zu An flung his hand outward casually, and the arrows returned at even greater speed. They were so fast that the monsters couldn't even react in time.

“Aaah!” the six marksmen screamed bitterly.

Manager Pi turned around and saw that there was an arrow stuck in each of their heads. The powerful impact had even made their heads explode, creating an extremely bloody scene.

“Donaire, are you rebelling?!”

The blade and shield guards were shocked and frightened. They were, after all, the Monster Lord’s own guards. Normally, who didn’t treat them carefully and with utmost respect? And yet this guy had actually killed their comrades! The deaths of the guards that were around the two female servants could be explained as Donaire not knowing their identities, and those were all Manager Pi’s personal guards. But these guards' statuses were completely different!

While they were speaking, however, Zu An appeared in front of them.

Boom!

The large shields on the shield guards' arms were blown away. The blade guards' weapons were broken as well. They didn’t even see how it had happened, but Zu An already had his hand around Manager Pi’s neck, raising him up into the air.

Manager Pi had been about to attack, but Zu An was too fast. The manager couldn't do a thing before his vitals were already restrained. As he felt that hand that was like a steel clamp, seeming as if it could crush his throat any time it wanted to, Manager Pi’s breathing became more and more difficult. His fat white face immediately became completely red, eventually turning purple.

“Please show leniency!” When he could see that Manager Pi was about to die, the great elder ran over. He advised with a gesture, “Young master, please don’t be rash!”

Zu An frowned slightly. He'd already offended this Manager Pi either way, so he figured it was better to just kill him to get rid of future troubles.

When Manager Pi sensed his killing intent, he almost pissed himself. “Spare... Spare me!”

The great elder quickly said through ki, “Young master, the Monster Lord treasures Manager Pi a lot.”

“So what?” Zu An retorted coldly.

The Monster Lord needed him to spy on Salamay, so there was no way he would harm him. In contrast, if he let this Manager Pi go, who knew what kind of slander he would offer up to the Monster Lord, and what kinds of schemes he would come up with? There were too many dangers in the Monster World. He didn’t need another enemy who could scheme against him at any time.

The great elder panicked. “Could it be that you’ve forgotten that he is the lord’s most beloved male pet? If you kill him, then the lord will be furious. Forget about you, not even the entire True Demon race might survive then.”

It is good that the young master became stronger, but are those two women really that important?

Women only create trouble, as expected!

“Male pet?” Zu An was stunned. He suddenly felt as if his hand was really hot. He threw Manager Pi away. A layer of water gathered around his hand, immediately cleaning it several times.

No wonder even though this guy had such long sideburns, his skin is so soft and doesn’t carry a shred of masculinity. So that was why.

When he saw that Zu An had let Manager Pi go, the great elder sighed in relief. He hurriedly supported Manager Pi to his feet, asking, “Is the manager okay?”

“Hmph.” Manager Pi was about to act up, but he saw Zu An and remembered the threat of death. He swallowed the words he'd been about to say back down and turned around to run. As he fled, the other guards also followed him.

Zu An’s brows moved, but he didn’t continue to attack.

The great elder finally sighed in relief. “I was scared to death just now! We would really have been in big trouble if you killed him.”

“I know how far to go,” Zu An replied.

The great elder was a bit confused, saying, “Donaire, you seem to have become a lot stronger.”

In terms of cultivation, there wasn't that much difference. However, that presence had made even him feel a bit scared. If it wasn’t because he had already personally examined Donaire’s body twice, he would have suspected that someone else was impersonating Donaire.

Zu An had already prepared an explanation beforehand. “I had some miraculous opportunities in the Cultivation World that benefited me tremendously.”

The great elder sighed with amazement. “That Cultivation World is mysterious after all. It seems the fate of the True Demon race really does lie with that world.”

...

Meanwhile, Manager Pi was scared witless as he ran. He finally sighed in relief when he couldn't see Zu An anymore. Then, he remembered his sorry appearance and quickly straightened his body. He also sorted out his messy clothes.

“Manager, this Donaire is absolutely outrageous! He actually dared to attack you!” the guards couldn't help but cry out. Zu An had killed many of their colleagues. They had always been the ones bullying others; when had they ever been left in such a sorry state?

Manager Pi had a cold and malicious expression as he hissed, “I will make Donaire pay back today’s humiliation a hundredfold!”

He decided to complain to the Monster Lord first. Once the lord got involved, he could immediately lead a huge army to settle things with Donaire. Then, Donaire would find himself lying on the ground like a dog, begging for mercy. After that, Manager Pi would toy with his two pretty female servants right in front of his face.

After serving as the Monster Lord’s male pet for so long, his way of thinking was already very warped. He only wanted to return what he experienced unto others a thousandfold.

“I fear you won’t have that chance anymore.” A chuckle came from nearby.

“Who is it?” The monsters were shocked. They hadn’t sensed anyone approaching them at all. When they followed the source of the sound, they saw a figure standing on a tree nearby.

“So it was you.” Manager Pi sighed in relief when he saw who it was. “You scared me.”

However, the figure suddenly vanished as soon as he finished speaking, and passed through his group like a streak of lightning. The natural instincts honed by the guards’ many years of training made them reflexively raise their defenses, but it was already too late. There were already terrifying wounds on their necks.

“Wh... Why?” Manager Pi clutched the wound on his neck while trying to grab at the figure.

The figure didn’t pay him any attention, and opened a book instead. He took out a shining pen and started to write, “X year X month X day, Manager Pi provoked the female servants of the True Demon race's young master Donaire. The two sides fought for the sake of a love rivalry, and Manager Pi was killed by Donaire in a fit of anger.”

After he wrote those words, that book disappeared into the air, leaving behind some special patterns. It was as if an additional entry had been added to this very world’s history.
