n137 The Great Desert Steward? A Very Fierce Monk?

nAfter hearing the system’s voice, Wang Mang became certain that the Black Mountain King was not lying.

nThinking of this, Wang Mang pondered for a moment before deciding to accept the mission.

nAfter all, he had to rely on himself to become stronger!

n2,000 evolution values.

nHe was one step closer to evolution.

nTherefore, Wang Mang muttered in his heart, “System, I choose Mission 3!”

nThe next moment, the system’s familiar voice sounded again: Ding! Host has successfully chosen a mission. Please complete the mission as soon as possible and obtain the reward!

nAfter making his choice, Wang Mang looked at the Black Mountain King.

nAt this moment, the Black Mountain King was also looking at Wang Mang, waiting for his reply.

n“Let’s work together and get the Knotweed King. How are we going to split it?”

nHearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Mountain King said matter-of-factly, “Of course we will do it 60-40!”

nWang Mang’s eyes lit up. “60 for me and 40 for you? Not bad.”

nThe Black Mountain King’s mouth twitched, and he said with a black face, “It’s 60 for me, and 40 for you!”

nWang Mang, who was originally in a good mood, was instantly displeased. “You’re dreaming!”

n“Why 60 for you and 40 for me?”

nThe Black Mountain King explained matter-of-factly, “Of course it’s because I’m stronger than you!”

n“Bullsh*t! Are you stronger than me? Didn’t I beat you up so badly that you ran away last time?”

n“If you’re not convinced, let’s fight again!”

nWith that, Wang Mang was eager to give it a try.

nHe had already evolved twice and was already eager to have a rematch.

nAt the same time, his evolution strength had increased greatly this time. He was just worried about not having an opponent.

nAfter hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Mountain King was speechless.

nHe realized that Wang Mang was really the same kind of person as him. He simply had no sense of shame at all.

nThe Black Mountain King, who had always been shameless, felt that he had found a confidant after meeting Wang Mang.

nAfter all, it was rare to find someone as shameless as Wang Mang.

nHowever, after carefully scanning him, he discovered that Wang Mang’s aura was much stronger than before.

nThis caused the Black Mountain King to be shocked in his heart. Had this fellow’s strength improved so quickly?

nAt the thought of this, the Black Mountain King relented and said, “How about this? We’ll split it equally! That’s fair enough, right?”

nFaced with the Black Mountain King’s concession, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction and said, “This is easy for me to agree to!”

nWang Mang’s words almost made the Black Mountain King unable to restrain himself from attacking again.

nHe realized that he was really inferior to the Python Demon King in terms of shamelessness.

nHowever, when he thought about how this was all for the sake of the Knotweed King, he could only endure it.

nAs for Wang Mang, the reason why he agreed so easily was mainly because he was jealous of this Knotweed King.

nAt the same time, he also wanted to know how many demon kings there were in his province.

nAfter all, the Black Bear Demon King knew the situation in his province better than him.

nIn addition, he had another mission, which was to defeat all the demon kings in the province. Therefore, he naturally had to observe them first.

n“Let’s go! Since we’re planning to fight for the Knotweed King, it’s best to go early.”

n“Stone Demon King and Turtle Demon King have already set off. We can’t be too slow.”

nSeeing that Wang Mang had no objections, the Black Bear Demon King urged.

nHearing this, Wang Mang nodded his head and followed the Black Mountain King.

nOn the way, Wang Mang couldn’t help but ask about the demon kings of his province.

nIn the face of Wang Mang’s inquiry, the Black Bear Daemon King said disapprovingly, “There should be nine demon kings in this province.”

n“You, me, Stone Demon King, Turtle Demon King, and five others are in the waters of Jianghu.”

n“As far as I know, there are five demon kings in the water. One of them is a crocodile, and the other is a python demon king, just like you.”

nAfter hearing this, Wang Mang finally understood the situation regarding the demon kings in his province.

nHe did not expect there to be so many demon kings in the province!

nIn addition to the dead Tree Demon King, didn’t that mean that there had been ten rare demon kings in this province?

nThis caused Wang Mang to be filled with shock.

nHe had heard that in an ordinary province, there were usually only four or five demon kings!

nAt this moment, the Black Bear Demon King could clearly see Wang Mang’s confusion and surprise.

nTherefore, the Black Bear Demon King slowly explained, “This is nothing. There are more demon kings in the sea.”

n“The place with the most demon kings on land is the Greater Khingan Mountain Range, as well as the waters of the Yellow River and Yangtze River.”

n“Moreover, in the Yellow River and Yangtze River, there are not only demon kings! There are even ghost kings!”

nUpon hearing the Black Bear Demon Monarch’s words, Wang Mang was shocked. “There are even ghost kings? What is that?”

n“Could it be that there really is a netherworld?”

nUpon hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Bear Demon King shook his head and said,

n“No, there is no underworld during the Shang Dynasty.

n“But it did exist in the past!”

nAfter hearing the Black Bear Demon King’s confirmation, Wang Mang couldn’t help but be curious.

n“How can you be so sure that the underworld exists?”

nThe Black Bear Demon King couldn’t help but snap, “Of course it’s because I’ve met from the underworld.”

n“You know of reapers, right? I’ve seen them before.”

n“Furthermore, I’ve dealt with a ghost king before.

n“But those ghost kings are really very difficult to deal with.

n“They can freely switch between reality and illusion, but they don’t have a physical body. They’re very difficult to deal with.

n“Especially after Daoism declined, these ghosts became even more rampant.

n“They’re much more arrogant than us demons.”

nAfter hearing the Black Bear Demon King’s words, Wang Mang sighed.

nAs expected of someone who had lived for more than 3,000 years!

nThis knowledge and experience was far from what Wang Mang could compare to!

nAt this moment, the Black Bear Demon King seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said,

n“Oh right! There were also very powerful figures among these people.

n“Before I became a demon king, I heard of a monk who was very powerful.”

n“I think he was called Dharma, the Grand Desert Steward…”

nWang Mang was stunned for a long time before he couldn’t help but ask, “Dharma?”

n“Don’t tell me the monk you’re talking about is Patriarch Dharma?”

nAfter hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Bear Demon King nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, yes, yes. That’s the monk.”

n“I heard that this monk wanted to cross the river, but he was stopped by a Flood Dragon King in the river. Eventually, the Flood Dragon King was killed by this monk.”

n“This monk is very fierce! At that time, that Flood Dragon King had more than 4,000 years of cultivation!”

nHearing this, Wang Mang was completely dumbfounded.

nCould this be the legendary story of Patriarch Bodhidharma crossing the river on a reed?

nBut why was it different from the tales?

nFurthermore, Wang Mang was certain.

nThe monk mentioned by the Black Bear Demon King was probably Bodhidharma, the Patriarch of Zen Buddhism.

nAt the thought of this, Wang Mang couldn’t help but become curious. He quickly asked, “What happened after that? Did Monk Bodhidharma really become a Buddha?”

nUpon hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Black Bear Demon Monarch sneered. “It’s not that easy to become an immortal or a Buddha!”

n“But that desert monk was really fierce.”

n“At that time, many demon kings didn’t dare to provoke him. I don’t know what happened to that monk after that.”

n“However, many demon kings of the older generation said that this ferocious monk is the most likely to be an Earth Immortal…”
