150 Reactions from All Sides
The sudden incident shocked all the demon beasts in the place.
Their invincible lord demon king actually vomited blood!
“What’s going on?”
“Did someone ambush the lord demon king?!”
“Quick! Go help the lord demon king! He has fallen down again…”
After a series of messy movements, a few demon beasts finally reacted and approached their demon king.
However, before they could even clarify the situation, a sharp claw suddenly descended and tore them into pieces.
Ying Chengpeng had an indifferent expression on his face as he grabbed a few demon beasts and put them into his mouth, eating their flesh to recover his lost strength.
A moment later, his aura finally calmed down.
“I lost contact with one of my soul fragments.” Ying Chengpeng frowned slightly, his expression ever-changing. “However, the memories of my soul fragment haven’t been transmitted to me, which means that it’s still alive.”
“Did it encounter another demon beast lord or another demon king?”
Ying Chengpeng narrowed his eyes, which flickered with a dangerous light. “No, that soul fragment seems to have gone to the northwest in the end. What’s in that place? A weak human country…”
His first reaction was that his soul fragment had been plotted against by humans.
However, Ying Chengpeng quickly ruled out this possibility.
Although each of his soul fragments was not as powerful as his original body, the soul power was extremely powerful and pure. Even a Primal Core Realm cultivator would find it difficult to resist against his soul fragment and would easily have his soul sucked away.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, there were not even many Primal Core Realm cultivators in that human country!
“I’m so mighty that even if I stand there and take a beating, things as tiny as those humans would never be able to hurt me at all!”
Ying Chengpeng felt very confident about this, and very quickly, he found out the truth of the matter. “The Ruler once mentioned that although that human country is weak, there are many mysteries hidden within it. It’s also the last stop of the ‘Great Retreat’ 700 years ago. If it’s not necessary, we should try not to step into that area.”
From Ying Chengpeng’s point of view, the reason why he lost contact with his soul fragment was very likely because it had encountered some kind of mystery!
“Perhaps it’s an ancient mystical realm, or perhaps it’s the abode of an ancient expert. In short, this is indeed an opportunity. When the opening of the Imperial Tombs ends…”
Ying Chengpeng’s eyes were filled with excitement.
He had always been interested in various ancient mystical realms. Originally, he was just an ordinary eagle demon. It was precisely because he accidentally entered an ancient ruin and obtained a portion of its inheritance that he obtained his current strength and status.
“There seems to be a saying in the human race that ‘good things come in pairs’? If I can grab hold of this opportunity, perhaps I can really take another step forward and reach the level of being on equal footing with the Ruler!”
…
Thousand Autumn Valley.
At the top of Moon Pavilion.
Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan stood side by side.
The two of them looked up at the sky. No one knew what they were looking at, but they did not speak for a long time.
After an unknown period of time, Lei Shao suddenly coughed. “Sissy Liu, do you think the Sect Master…”
Without thinking, Liu Chuanyuan said, “The Emperor must die. Otherwise, there is no way to pay tribute to our Master’s spirit in heaven.”
At this point, he paused and said hesitantly, “However, if the Sect Master chooses to put aside his hatred for the time being in the face of a bigger problem, I think it’s understandable.”
“Sissy! Don’t you want to kill that bastard?” Lei Shao suddenly turned around, his eyes already red.
“Yes, all the time.”
Liu Chuanyuan’s answer was resolute and decisive. “However, what we want to do is take revenge! We must not be blinded by hatred. Don’t forget, when Master was still alive, why did he go deep into the mountain ranges of Mount Canglan time and time again?”
In the past, they could not understand why.
However, now that the old Sect Master had passed away, more responsibilities had fallen to them. Combined with what the Xuanwu Emperor had said, they could more or less guess that what the old Sect Master had gone off to do back then was most likely related to those demon beast lords!
Or rather, it was related to the threat posed by the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons!
Back then, the old Sect Master’s strength was only at the peak of the Dao Platform Realm. Even if he was stronger than the ordinary peak Dao Platform Realm cultivator, he was at most comparable to a weaker demon beast lord.
One could imagine how much pressure he had to bear to mediate under such threats!
“If I remember correctly, Master once said something when we became his disciples.” A trace of nostalgia appeared in Liu Chuanyuan’s expression. “At that time, I didn’t understand, but now I do.”
Lei Shao’s eyes were still red and bloodshot as he spoke with a raspy voice.
“Yeah… I get it too.”
The magical power in his body exploded and blew a huge hole in the roof of the Moon Pavilion. He continued in a deep voice, “So, we can put it aside for now. When everything is settled in the future, I will seek revenge from Mo Lianque!”
With that, he jumped out of the Moon Pavilion without looking back.
Behind him, Liu Chuanyuan’s face was dark and as still as water and he could not stop his body from trembling. After a long time, he finally squeezed out a few words, “Damn it, you run off faster than a rabbit. I just know that nothing good comes out of a visit from this barbarian! How many times has he damaged my building? Men! Fix the roof of this floor for me, and then… multiply the bill by 10 times and send it to the First Elder to have a taste!”
…
Tianjue Sect.
More than a month had passed since that earth-shattering battle.
The result of the battle was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Mo Yuanlong, the most powerful person in Xuanwu Kingdom, died in the Thousand Autumn Valley!
Recalling what had happened in the past month, the Tianjue Sect Master could not help but lament. He had wanted to go and save the young sect master who was captured. For this, he would not hesitate to pay a price.
However, the response he received made him so angry that he almost lost his magical power.
“Master, I think it’s quite good to stay in the Thousand Autumn Valley, so I’m not coming back!”
“That bastard…”
Even though it had been a month, every time he thought of that kid’s face, he would have the urge to vomit blood. It was only during these few days that his attention had been gradually diverted.
This was because he had discovered a brand new piece of unpolished jade.
—The young man whom he treated as a slave!
In the past, even though the young man’s parents wanted to assassinate him, they failed in the end. After that, he did not kill the young man directly. Instead, he took him in as a slave and kept him by his side. He tortured him, beat him and scolded him to vent his anger.
Now, that anger had been smothered by an even greater fury.
After what happened, the more he looked at the original young sect master, the more sick of that kid he became; but the more he looked at this young slave, the more pleasing this kid was to the eye.
Not long after, the Tianjue Sect Master saw the young man sitting there cross-legged with his eyes closed, cultivating diligently. He was completely different from the original young sect master.
“What a pity! Why didn’t I discover it earlier?”
The Tianjue Sect Master could not help but feel a little regretful. “If I could have nurtured him earlier… Never mind, it might not be too late to make up for it now!”
At this moment, the young man suddenly opened his eyes. “Sect Master, I’ve broken through to the Divine Power Realm.”
The Tianjue Sect Master, who was deep in thought, could not help but jump in shock. He cried out in surprise, “Divine Power Realm? Among the cultivators of the same generation as you, there isn’t even an Inception Realm cultivator at the sixth or seventh level! You broke through to the Divine Power Realm so quickly?”
“After the last battle, I suddenly figured out many things. Some were about cultivation, some were about divine powers. Then, I cultivated again and improved by leaps and bounds.”
The young man thought for a moment and replied earnestly.
