Chapter 1493: Chapter 1405: Four Masters
The Flood Dragon King was embarrassed when confronted directly by the Golden Eagle but quickly put on a serious face: "Alright, Golden Eagle, since you’ve forgotten your past, then human cultivators are our mortal enemies. I now order you to go to the Xuantian Sect and find a way to kill at least one elder!"
The Golden Eagle suddenly looked up, staring directly at the Flood Dragon King: "Why?"
"Hmph, human cultivators dared to kill the White Tiger, it’s a provocation to our Demon Clan, of course I need to show them a lesson!" The Flood Dragon King sneered: "Golden Eagle, you’re the fastest and most powerful, so you’re the most suitable for the mission."
Although the Golden Eagle was reluctant, at this moment, he had no choice but to nod.
He was somewhat surprised, however, at who had the audacity to come to the Northern North Desolation and slay the White Tiger.
"Fine!" The Golden Eagle didn’t waste any words.
She leaped into the air, transforming into a golden eagle dozens of meters wide, flapped her wings, and vanished without a trace.
After the Golden Eagle left, the Flood Dragon King gave instructions to Lady Python: "Immediately mobilize all the demon beasts in the Northern North Desolation to search for traces of the human cultivators. If they can be captured, there will be a hefty reward. If they can be killed, whoever kills them can take the White Tiger’s place."
"Yes!" Lady Python was overjoyed, and quickly left upon receiving the order.
Shortly after Lady Python left, Luo Dan arrived in front of the Flood Dragon King.
Seeing Luo Dan, the Flood Dragon King raised an eyebrow: "What’s your business here, Holy Envoy? Has the head of the ten thousand troops’ commander been taken yet?"
Luo Dan quickly explained: "Great King, it’s not so easy to take the head of a commander from ten thousand troops, but I’ve already sent people to gather information. Once they have it, knowing your enemy and yourself, it will be easy to kill them."
The Flood Dragon King was already suspicious of Luo Dan and didn’t want to hear her nonsense, so he raised an eyebrow and asked: "What brings you here?"
"Great King, I heard the White Tiger was killed?" Luo Dan pretended not to know.
The Flood Dragon King snorted: "You found out quite quickly."
"It’s simply outrageous, Great King. Is there anything I can do to help?" Luo Dan said sincerely.
The Flood Dragon King waved his hand: "I’ve already instructed Lady Python to take care of it, as long as the murderer is in the Northern North Desolation, they can’t escape my grasp."
"You are wise, Great King." Luo Dan flattered him a bit more after understanding the situation, then turned and left.
Watching Luo Dan’s retreating figure, the Flood Dragon King seemed to be deep in thought.
"Go, follow her for me." After some thought, the Flood Dragon King directly ordered a nearby young demon.
The young demon appeared to be a delicate woman, but upon hearing the command, she transformed into a sparrow and flew after Luo Dan.
Luo Dan obviously didn’t know she was being followed by someone sent by the Flood Dragon King.
After gathering some information, Luo Dan quickly returned to her place and relayed everything she knew to Ye Guichen.
Upon hearing everything, Ye Guichen gained a new perspective on the Flood Dragon King.
This Flood Dragon King seemed very intelligent, and not only that, but also skilled at organizing leadership.
Since Lady Python intended to mobilize all the demon beasts in the Northern North Desolation for a search, it wouldn’t be long until they searched this area.
If the Demon Clan discovered his presence, it would surely lead to a great battle.
Ye Guichen squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and immediately summoned Yan Fang, instructing: "Yan Fang, return to the camp immediately and tell Chen Liangce to deploy troops to harass the demon beasts in the Northern North Desolation, so they can’t focus on both ends."
After receiving the order, Yan Fang transformed into a gust of ghostly wind, disappearing quickly.
Chu Yuanchen furrowed his brows: "Brother Ye, what should we do?"
Ye Guichen glanced at Luo Dan: "Can you lure Lady Python out alone?"
Luo Dan was puzzled: "What do you plan to do?"
"Of course, to kill her." Ye Guichen’s lips curved into a slight playful smile: "Killing the White Tiger already angered the Flood Dragon King so much, if we kill Lady Python too, ho ho, I’m sure the Flood Dragon King would go berserk, right? By then, the major demons will certainly be in panic, and during their chaos, it will be time for us to launch a full-scale assault on the Northern North Desolation."
"Brother Ye, your idea is brilliant!" exclaimed Chu Yuanchen, slapping his thigh, "Once Lady Python is dead, with two of the five great demons lost, the remaining three will be no threat. As long as the Xuantian Sect cooperates, killing the Flood Dragon King won’t be difficult."
Ye Guichen nodded: "That’s right, but Lady Python doesn’t seem easy to kill."
Luo Dan agreed: "Exactly, Lady Python is just a step away from transforming into a dragon and usually hovers around the Flood Dragon King, eager to become his woman. If she can unite with the Flood Dragon King, she can successfully transform into a dragon. By then, the Northern North Desolation would have a new superpower. However, it’s for this reason that she’s also received a lot of inheritance from the Flood Dragon King and is typically guarded by several powerful half-demons. Killing her is much harder than killing the White Tiger."
Ye Guichen smiled: "That’s why I want you to find a way to get her alone."
Luo Dan frowned: "But if anything goes wrong, my identity would be exposed, which would implicate us Corpse Cultivators."
"I won’t rest until the great demons under the Flood Dragon King are eliminated. Since we’re partners, doing this little thing shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Ye Guichen looked at Luo Dan with a smile.
There was a clear threat in his words.
Luo Dan was already involved with Ye Guichen, and if she didn’t help him, she certainly wouldn’t be safe either.
Deep down, Luo Dan understood as well.
The half-demons never took them Corpse Cultivators seriously, despite calling her the Holy Envoy, there was no respect at all.
Especially Lady Python, who had previously instigated the Flood Dragon King to kill her.
If not for Lady Python, she wouldn’t have fallen into such a passive position quickly.
After a brief deliberation, Luo Dan realized she had no choice.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Dan said, "Alright, this matter is simple. I’ll find a way to lure Lady Python to a place not far from here called Black Wind Cave. As for how to deal with her afterward, that’s not my concern."
"Alright!"
Ye Guichen nodded in agreement.
Luo Dan quickly turned around again.
Once Luo Dan had left, Ye Guichen instructed Feng Wuxiu, "Feng Wuxiu, how about you take on Lady Python this time?"
Feng Wuxiu was startled. Although he felt he might not be a match for Lady Python, he knew Ye Guichen intended to train him, so he promptly nodded and said, "Mr. Ye, I will do my best."
Chu Yuanchen was concerned, "Brother Ye, Lady Python is a formidable demon. Can Brother Feng handle it alone?"
Ye Guichen indeed wanted to train Feng Wuxiu.
With the corpse gu in Feng Wuxiu’s body, which Ye Guichen had paid close attention to, he was no longer just an ordinary person.
Fighting against some ordinary experts could no longer showcase his maximum strength.
At such times, Feng Wuxiu needed to go through a life-and-death struggle.
With Feng Wuxiu’s strong recovery ability, as long as his head wasn’t bitten off on the spot, it wouldn’t be easy to kill him.
Even if he can’t eventually kill Lady Python, just going through such a tussle would yield many rewards.
Ye Guichen understood Chu Yuanchen’s concerns and responded nonchalantly, "Brother Chu, we’ll ambush around during the time. If anything happens, we’ll step in. I believe after slaying the great demon this time, Brother Chu’s status in Xuantian Sect will surely soar, right?"
Chu Yuanchen was clearly hit by Ye Guichen’s words, and his lips curled up as he politely said, "Brother Ye, you really do jest."
"Haha." Ye Guichen didn’t say more.
For Chu Yuanchen, this time he’s deep in the demon clan’s heartland. If Xuantian Sect didn’t promise any significant reward, why would Chu Yuanchen, as the sect’s senior disciple, take the risk?
Although Ye Guichen didn’t know what Xuantian Sect promised Chu Yuanchen, if he could return alive this time, his status in Xuantian Sect would surely rise to a new level.
Of course, Ye Guichen didn’t care about changes in Chu Yuanchen’s identity or status.
Ye Guichen’s current concern is that after clearing out the demons of Northern North Desolation, he can ascend to the Golden Core Realm and then go to Netherworld Mountain for a visit.
Black Wind Cave is an abandoned cave said to have been home to a bear demon long ago.
But after the bear demon’s death, no other demons inhabited the place.
After discussing amongst themselves, Ye Guichen and the others quickly arrived around Black Wind Cave.
What Ye Guichen didn’t expect was that when he arrived outside Black Wind Cave and used his spiritual sense to probe inside, he found several people hiding inside.
What’s more, astonishing to Ye Guichen was that the cultivation level of these individuals had all reached the Golden Core Realm.
Among them, one person had even reached the third stage of the Golden Core Realm.
"How can there be so many experts here?"
Ye Guichen was taken aback.
Afraid of being discovered by the people inside, he quickly signaled Feng Wuxiu and Chu Yuanchen to stop walking further.
"What’s the matter?" Chu Yuanchen didn’t understand why Ye Guichen had them stop.
Ye Guichen pointed to Black Wind Cave a hundred meters away.
The cave entrance was dark, and the outside was overgrown with weeds. If not carefully examined, one wouldn’t even notice there was a cave there.
Ye Guichen quietly explained, "There are people inside."
"People?" Chu Yuanchen was astonished. "How can this be possible? This is Northern North Desolation. Apart from those corpse cultivators, how can there be others?"
Ye Guichen shook his head, expressing his uncertainty, "As far as I know, there should be four people inside, all with cultivation above the Golden Core Realm. But judging by their appearance, they seem to be just lurking here, without any intention of conflicting with the demon clan."
"What, all above the Golden Core Realm?" Chu Yuanchen could hardly believe it and cast a glance at Ye Guichen. "Are you sure?"
Ye Guichen nodded, "I’m definitely sure."
"Then, what should we do?" Chu Yuanchen was a bit dumbfounded.
With four unknown Golden Core experts, if a real confrontation ensues, they might not survive.
And it would certainly alarm the demon clan.
Wanting to leave Northern North Desolation alive would be very difficult.
Ye Guichen pondered for a moment, "Well then, since they are hiding inside, we can sit back and watch the tigers fight. Let them have a conflict with Lady Python, and we can test them in the process."
Chu Yuanchen was still anxious, "Will that work?"
"Let’s give it a try."
Ye Guichen smiled like an old fox, nodded at Chu Yuanchen and Feng Wuxiu, signaling them to quickly hide themselves.
