Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 907 - 25: The Mysterious Fisherman

The one who discovered the Second Prince of Dark Demon was a fisherman of the Boundary River.

The Plane Boundary River, despite being called a river, is not exactly a river in the full sense.

The Boundary River is vast, said to be a thousand miles wide and millions of miles long.

In a day of 24 hours, before noon, the surface is not filled with vapor, but with unpredictable water fog. After noon, the water fog disperses, and fire like molten lava swallows and protrudes like a tongue.

The fog is cold and piercing; Dark Practitioners and Dark Beasts below the Holy-grade, if they wish to cross, would be frozen and dead within just a quarter of an hour.

The burning smoke can turn a person into ashes in just a moment.

Such a dangerous place, crossing it is naturally not easy.

There are said to be only two ways to traverse the Boundary River: one is by flying, such as using flying Holy Beasts or advanced Dark Techniques.

The other is using Escape Skill, which only some Holy Beast Level Dark Beast Demons skilled in water can endure the cold and heat to pass through the river bottom.

The former requires high-level flight ability; the latter requires excellent water skills. Ordinary people and ordinary Dark Beasts simply cannot accomplish these.

Such a treacherous place is indeed a natural dangerous border, which is why even the Holy Dragon Riders spent a lot of time when they wanted to cross the river.

The Second Prince of Dark Demon attempted to cross the Boundary River first because of its treachery; even if pursued, it would be difficult for pursuers to directly chase him along the river.

He also left a backup plan near the Boundary River; there are reinforcements waiting for him in the river.

When launching the attack on Four Symbols City, the Second Prince of Dark Demon had already made two preparations.

He commanded an army of four hundred thousand to take Four Symbols City at once.

Yet he also knew of Four Symbols City’s strategic importance; once attacked, Changsun Gongyang would definitely seek help from the Moon Plane.

By then, he would be attacked from both sides. Despite the large Demon Army, capturing the city would be difficult.

Therefore, the Second Prince of Dark Demon enlisted the Sea Beast Army and the Sea Demon Clan of Chen Plane; he negotiated terms with their Clan Leader and ambushed thirty thousand members of the Sea Demon Clan Sea Beast Army hidden in the Boundary River.

As the Demon Clan dwelling by the sea, the Sea Demon Clan can conceal themselves well in such a dangerous place like the Boundary River.

Due to the Sea Demon Clan’s ambush, when ten thousand Holy Dragon Riders tried to cross the Boundary River, they suffered repeated attacks, losing over a hundred Bronze Giant Dragons and seeing over a hundred Holy Dragon Knights swallowed by the river.

If not for unexpected changes midway, the Holy Dragon Riders might still be trapped in the Boundary River, unable to escape.

The change that led to the Holy Dragon Riders’ successful escape now lies within the Boundary River.

He was a middle-aged man with a cold demeanor, dressed in a long robe of gold and white, half-gray, half-white hair, looking quite like an immortal.

He was riding a small boat, stationed on the Boundary River.

Sitting cross-legged, his eyes fixed on the misty waters of the Boundary River.

The cold, piercing fog retreated far away upon approaching the middle-aged man.

Such a person, anyone who saw him would not think he was a fisherman.

Yet he was indeed a fisherman because Yue Jinghua and the Second Prince of Dark Demon saw him fishing.

The middle-aged man held a green bamboo fishing pole, a fishing line slim as cow’s hair straight into the fog.

The Second Prince of Dark Demon saw him and was inexplicably startled, his heart filled with dread, scanning around but not seeing any sign of the Sea Demons and Sea Beasts ready to rescue him as agreed earlier.

Without the Sea Beasts, and not skilled at flying, "Fisherman, leave your boat and get away immediately, or I might change my mind," the Second Prince threatened.

Although feeling something was off, at the moment he needed to leave the Dimension Battlefield at once, with no one else around and no tools available, the sturdy-looking small boat seemed to be his only option to cross the river.

The fisherman appeared not to hear, continuing to fish at ease.

Just as the Second Prince of Dark Demon could not hold back and wanted to strike, the fisherman moved first.

His fishing line sank, indicating he got a bite, as he skillfully reeled it in with a gentle shake of his wrist.

The waters churned as the thin line cut through the fog, revealing a fish-like object being pulled out.

Upon seeing the "fish," the Second Prince of Dark Demon and Yue Jinghua, who looked on coldly, suddenly changed expressions.

It was not a fish, but a half-human, half-fish Merfolk Clan leader.

The leader’s cultivation was at least in the Dan Realm, his tail scales hard as iron, upper body rugged, his face twisted, and a blood hole left on his chest.

The fisherman’s fish hook had directly pulled out his Yin Evil Pill.

"Who... are you?" The Second Prince of Dark Demon recognized the Merfolk.

That was the chief he had colluded with earlier, ambushing the Holy Dragon Riders near the Boundary River.

"Ying Wuya was once a prodigious talent; I did not expect his offspring to be so incompetent. A millennium has passed, and I thought the Demon Clan would produce remarkable figures, but they turned out to be mediocre," the fisherman flicked his fishing line, tossing the 200-pound chief’s corpse onto the riverbank.

"A millennium," the fisherman looked to be only in his thirties or forties, yet his tone carried the air of a king.

Taking a closer look at the fisherman’s attire and profound skills made the Second Prince of Dark Demon recall something.

He tried to run, but soon found he couldn’t escape.

In a moment, the man had already set a Prohibition around him.

The Second Prince of Dark Demon was now deeply trapped within the other’s Domain, unable to escape.

"You are... You are of the Sun Dragon Clan, Yue Potian." After recognizing the person’s identity, the Second Prince of Dark Demon closed his eyes in despair, knowing he was doomed to die today.

"You’re sharp enough to ambush the Sea Demon Clan and snipe the Holy Dragon Riders along the river; you aren’t too stupid," given Shi Potian’s skills, he could have killed the Second Prince immediately, yet for some reason did not.

"What... do you want?" The Second Prince knew escape was impossible, but he also realized Shi Potian didn’t intend to kill him; a shred of hope rose within.

The Sun Dragon Clan’s leader, Yue Potian, rumored to have seized bodies ninety-nine times, appeared not merely for a simple assassination.

"Simple, I want to cooperate with you. If you agree to destroy the Emperor Demon Palace, I’ll let you go and send people to help you ascend to the Imperial Throne of the Emperor Demon Clan," Yue Potian flicked his rod, the fishing line sinking again.

The Second Prince of Dark Demon was merely a minor fish; Yue Potian preferred to play the long game to catch bigger fish.
