Chapter 499
Chapter 499 – The Number One Pirate Lord
Tan Lang was a courageous and upright man. Although he was faced with the fierce competition within the Asura Palace, where many of his competitors were crafty and insidious, Tan Lang was still able to keep his integrity and disposition. Who could have thought that the Great Tycoon, a man who always wore a bright smile on his face; the man who claimed the title of number one genius of the Asura Palace, was actually just a sanctimonious guy. He was seemingly respectable, but he actually did something so inhumane.
If not for the fact that Zhuang Fan was lucky enough to stay alive, who would have known that Xiao Nanshan had done something like that? The sanctimonious Great Tycoon would still be the same lofty hypocrite. Also, it was easy to imagine that Xiao Nanshan had done the same thing to others, only that there were no survivors that time.
Of course, the world of cultivation was governed by the rules of the jungle, and strength was the only standard used to evaluate everything. Xiao Nanshan’s behavior was beneath the contempt of everyone. Even the devil cultivators from the Heavenly Devil Palace who always employed cruel and vicious approaches would be disgusted by his actions. Perhaps only those genuine devils would have done what he had.
However, devils and humans were two distinctly different species. Slaughtering and torturing someone from a different species was completely different from doing it to someone of the same species.
Also, devil cultivators and devils were two different concepts. A devil cultivator was still a human; a human who cultivates a devil’s skill. They were a group of humans who went after short term, but extremely powerful strength, thus becoming devil cultivators; whereas devils were a species by themselves, one hostile toward humans. They belonged to two completely different groups.
“You’re right. Jiang Chen did save our lives, and if not for his help, many of us would have died today; this is a fact.”
Xiu Rui said. However, right after that, he aimed his voice at Jiang Chen and said, “However, Brother Jiang, the Asura Palace has lost three genius disciples in today’s battle. Not only that, many of us are suffering from different degrees of injuries, and yet, you set the Heavenhawk Island Master free. This not only caused us to lose any benefits we might have gotten, it also brought losses to us. Since you’re the helper invited by junior disciple Tan, I think it would be best for you to follow us back to the Asura Palace so that you can answer for what you have done here.”

The crowd start discussing the current events. When a battle involving Combat Kings erupted, they could only stand aside and watch, not daring to stand too close. The situation was clear; the unknown treasure was going to reveal itself, and a fierce fight would erupt between the geniuses of all four major powers, deciding who would get to take the treasure.
However, most people still rested their eyes on that white-clothed youngster. This youngster was obviously the strongest man present, and if he wanted to fight for the treasure, perhaps none of these geniuses would be a match for him.
The undercurrent was surging. Everyone were waiting for the treasure to reveal itself. Once it did, the battles would begin.
“Amitabha!”
Right at this very moment, a calm voice was heard from afar. Right after that, a golden beam could be seen shooting across the sky, and soon arriving above the Heavenhawk Island. It was a monk wearing a golden Kasaya.
This monk looked to be in his mid-twenties; a very young man. He had a strong and sturdy body, and a fair complexion.
The monk held one of his palms straight up in front of his chest. He wore a solemn expression, portraying a sacred image.
Seeing this monk, Jiang Chen furrowed his brows. This little monk must be here for the treasure.
“Where did this monk come from?!”
Ye Hui couldn’t help but shout out loud.
“To all the misters here, this treasure belongs to me. I suggest you all scram right now.”
The monk said. Although his voice was soft, his words were extremely domineering. Right when he arrived, he immediately asked everyone to scram. Furthermore, when he talked, he still wore the same solemn expression, while portraying the image of an eminent monk.
“What the fuck! Where did this stinking monk come from? Does he not know how to talk properly?”
A person couldn’t help but curse.
“Right, that’s him! He’s the number one Pirate Lord of the Chaotic Ocean! I’ve seen him fighting with others before!”
A person cried out in shock, as he recognized this monk.
