Chapter 1491: Chapter 1403: The Pleasure-Seeking Tiger Demon
Ye Guichen suddenly felt as if a layer of mist obscured his front, something he wanted to clear but couldn’t.
And the answer to this mist seemed to lie within the Netherworld Mountain.
Thinking it over, Ye Guichen felt he had nothing to lose.
If the Corpse Cultivator could truly help him obtain the Netherworld Mountain, it would be a win-win situation.
Although he had no interest in the Netherworld Mountain, the passage that opened every three hundred and thirty-three years to connect to the Yinming Land piqued Ye Guichen’s curiosity to the extreme.
"Alright, then this time, let’s start by killing some demons. If our cooperation goes well, when you clash with the Ghost Cultivators later, I’ll naturally stand by your side." Ye Guichen said with a smile, not afraid of Luo Dan’s thoughts, casually tossing the storage ring in his hand to Luo Dan.
Luo Dan quickly caught the storage ring, her Spiritual Sense probed into it for a look and found that it indeed held the corpses intended for return.
"Leng Yu, swiftly take this storage ring back to the Netherworld Mountain and hand it to the Corpse King, remember, it must be done secretly." After confirming, Luo Dan tossed the storage ring to a subordinate.
Apparently, she trusted this subordinate very much; otherwise, she wouldn’t have handed the storage ring to them at such a time.
The subordinate named Leng Yu received the storage ring, clasped his fists at Luo Dan, and quickly departed.
"Since we are partners now, I hope you don’t mind if I casually call you Brother Ye?" Luo Dan was rather forward.
Ye Guichen didn’t care: "So, shall we get started?"
Luo Dan waved a hand: "No hurry, Brother Ye. Judging by your age, you’re not even thirty yet, are you? Indeed, heroes come from the youth, hehe, and your skills are so exceptional, you must have reached the Golden Core Realm?"
A probing question.
Though Luo Dan was unattractive, she was shrewd; otherwise, she wouldn’t be inviting Ye Guichen into their group at such a crucial moment.
Now, seeing Ye Guichen lower his guard, Luo Dan wanted to probe Ye Guichen instead.
But Ye Guichen didn’t mind.
The apparent level of cultivation could no longer represent his true strength.
"If I consume another Demon Core from a great demon, I might reach the Golden Core Realm." Ye Guichen said.
"You’re not at the Golden Core Realm yet?" Now it was Luo Dan’s turn to be astonished.
Earlier, the capabilities Ye Guichen displayed definitely exceeded the Golden Core Realm.
But Ye Guichen certainly did not admit it.
It seems he still doesn’t fully trust me.
Thinking this, Luo Dan didn’t push further.
The reason she wanted to collaborate with Ye Guichen was because of his cultivation level.
To be so young with such cultivation, the future is undoubtedly promising.
By the time the Ghost Cultivators and Corpse Cultivators clash in a few years, Ye Guichen would have undoubtedly reached a new level, and then it would absolutely benefit their Corpse Cultivators.
Nonetheless, wanting to tackle the powerful demons under the Flood Dragon King was not that simple.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Dan said solemnly: "Brother Ye, I know that human cultivators like yourself hate the Demon Clan to the core and would love nothing more than to eradicate them entirely. However, there are some things I must tell you, those five great demons valued by the Flood Dragon King are far from what ordinary experts can contend with."
"By the way, do you know which great demons are under the Flood Dragon King?" Luo Dan seemed very familiar with the great demons under the Flood Dragon King and after asking, she kept her gaze fixed on Ye Guichen, seemingly observing Ye Guichen’s demeanor to determine how much he knew about the Demon Clan and whether he could take control.
Ye Guichen naturally understood Luo Dan’s intention.
In a collaboration, the side that holds the initiative is more advantageous.
Previously, Ye Guichen made a strong entrance, not only killing their people but also seizing the dominant position in the conflict.
Luo Dan, being clever, evidently wanted to regain some ground.
But Ye Guichen was now extremely confident in his own strength, not bothering to think about these complexities: "You just tell me the locations of those five great demons, as for how to kill them, you need not concern yourself."
Luo Dan furrowed her brow: "Brother Ye, I know you’re strong, but if those five great demons were so easily killed, then the people of the Xuantian Sect wouldn’t be powerless against them."
"From what I know, each of those five great demons has their own unique skills, and since their half-demon bloodline awakened, their cultivation has been progressing by leaps and bounds. Although, due to their half-demon identity, their cultivation has a limit and won’t reach the full potential of the Demon Clan, killing them is still not easy."
"Take that python for example, it’s said to be close to transforming into a flood dragon. After transforming, it can reach a length of a hundred meters, and even Spiritual Artifacts can’t penetrate its Scale Armor. With one breath, it can swallow hundreds of human cultivators. That python previously attacked a village on the border and devoured everything in less than ten minutes."
"And that golden eagle, with wingspan stretching tens of meters, although its bloodline isn’t pure, it is rumored to have the blood of the roc, its speed is so fast that even Golden Core Peak experts cannot match it. Simply by speed, it holds a natural advantage; if it can’t win, it can easily escape, making it extremely difficult to kill."
"Right, you should know the white tiger, right? It’s no ordinary Tiger Demon. Being one of the Flood Dragon King’s generals, it naturally has its unique qualities. Though I’ve never personally encountered the white tiger, its roar rivals the Buddhist chants of your human cultivators. A cultivator of the Golden Core Realm might become disoriented for three seconds upon hearing it. In the heat of battle, those few moments can be fatal. Without absolute confidence, I suggest you don’t act recklessly."
"The most formidable is the black fox. While the black fox’s true form is merely a fox, and it appears the least remarkable among the five great demons, it carries an extremely potent toxin within. Once unleashed, nothing will grow within a radius of a hundred miles. Even a Golden Core cultivator might die instantly."
At this point, Luo Dan’s eyes flickered with a trace of dread. "Brother Ye, these are merely half-demons. If it were the demon clan beyond the secret realms, their strength would be unimaginable. So, if the secret realms were truly opened and the demons were released, it would be utterly effortless for them to wipe out us corpse cultivators and even you human cultivators."
Unexpectedly, Luo Dan seemed to have a sense of compassion.
Although Ye Guichen knew of those great demons, he didn’t know such specifics. Hearing this, he was somewhat moved.
The demons he had previously encountered were powerful, but not as formidable as these few great demons.
Furthermore, judging by Luo Dan’s words, each great demon has its own strong suit.
This strength can take a life at a crucial moment.
Ye Guichen memorized each one and then asked, "There’s also a Pig Demon, right?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Dan shook his head. "I haven’t seen that Pig Demon, the most mysterious one. I don’t know exactly what abilities it has. However, from what I’ve gathered, this Pig Demon’s strong suit is extremely special. If one isn’t careful, it won’t be easier to deal with than the other four great demons."
"In that case, let’s deal with them one by one." Ye Guichen nodded indifferently. "Which great demon is nearest to you?"
Luo Dan didn’t expect that, despite saying so much, Ye Guichen still wanted to hunt demons. He sighed, "That python is always around the Flood Dragon King, so it’s hard to draw it out. The white tiger has a solitary nature and usually doesn’t interact with others, acting arrogant without guards. If Brother Ye wants to deal with it, this white tiger seems the easiest target."
"Oh?" Ye Guichen suddenly thought of the Lady Python he had seen before and asked curiously, "From what you said, is the python the hardest to deal with?"
"Not exactly, it’s just that with the Flood Dragon King around, it’s not easy to draw it out." Luo Dan gritted his teeth. "It’s that Lady Python, causing trouble all day, otherwise I wouldn’t be exposed."
Ye Guichen understood basically. The Lady Python he encountered before should be one of the great demons.
But he missed the opportunity.
He’d have to find another chance.
"Alright, in that case, let’s go meet the white tiger first." Ye Guichen discreetly sent Yan Fang out to immediately inform Feng Wuxiu and Chu Yuanchen to join him.
Seeing Ye Guichen insist, Luo Dan thought for a moment, "Fine, to express my sincerity, I’ll personally lead you to the white tiger. But since I’m in the Flood Dragon King’s territory, I currently don’t want to confront him, so you’ll need to cooperate with my performance."
"No problem." Ye Guichen agreed without any objection.
To kill the white tiger silently, Ye Guichen didn’t act rashly.
Luo Dan led Ye Guichen, swiftly heading to the place where the white tiger was hiding.
The white tiger’s location was over thirty miles away from Luo Dan’s place.
The scenery there was even more beautiful than Ye Guichen imagined, a vast green meadow with a waterfall not far away.
Beneath the waterfall, a clear spring resembled an Immortal Realm.
The flora and fauna even captivated Ye Guichen with its exquisiteness.
Moreover, what astonished Ye Guichen the most.
On that vast meadow, there were three tigers.
One of them was quite large, with white fur, presumably the white tiger Luo Dan mentioned.
The other two tigers were slightly smaller, seemingly ordinary tigers and not even counted as demonic beasts.
Yet, they served the white tiger with great attentiveness.
Moreover, one of the tigers was licking a particular part of the white tiger.
The white tiger lay on the grass, its eyes half-closed, looking very content.
Seeing this scene, Ye Guichen was inexplicably reminded of certain high-level action movies requiring a man and two women.
Only, now the protagonists were swapped for tigers.
If he hadn’t seen it himself, Ye Guichen wouldn’t believe that beasts would indulge like this.
"Roar!"
"Useless thing, you hurt me!"
Suddenly, the white tiger abruptly opened its eyes and bit the neck of the tiger licking it. Within a gentle twist, it effortlessly broke the tiger’s neck.
The other tiger immediately trembled in fear, lying on the ground without daring to move.
The white tiger glanced disdainfully at the corpse of the bitten tiger and ordered, "Eat it."
