Chapter 1224: Chapter 367: Heaven-Sent Opportunity, No Time to Lose, See You at the Usual Place!
This is actually a Demon Emperor!
"Amazing! That nose didn’t grow so long for nothing. Where’s the guy?"
Zhao Muye’s laughter echoed from high above, appearing instantly beside the gigantic elephant.
Under the startled gaze of everyone, the elephant stood upright and emitted a bronze glow all over its body.
With the "crackling" of its bones, it transformed in the blink of an eye into a two-meter-tall, brawny man with a full beard.
On his bronze skin, faint dragon scale patterns could be seen, and the mysterious iron bells around his neck jingled loudly.
"You actually snuck food behind my back?! And had a drink?"
The Dragon-Elephant man suddenly moved closer to Zhao Muye, sniffed a few times, and furiously questioned in a booming voice.
Zhao Muye scratched his hands guiltily, "No way! We’re just searching for people separately... Just happened to bump into an old friend who insisted on sharing a couple of drinks..."
He pointed to the inn below, "Just that kid from the Shen Family, couldn’t refuse his hospitality..."
The Dragon-Elephant man’s eyes flashed with gold, instantly locking onto Shen Yunzhou who was leaning out the window, looking over at them.
"So it’s the Shen Family’s dung beetle, no wonder it smells so bad!" He rumbled disdainfully, "Aren’t you afraid that once there’s something in your stomach, you’ll feel like you have ’a fishbone stuck in your throat’?"
Zhao Muye shivered and quickly waved his hands, "Let’s go, let’s get down to business first! Where’s he?"
The Dragon-Elephant transformed man shook the mysterious iron bells on his neck and pointed with his burly arm to the nine-tiered palace above: "Right there!"
Then he suddenly rubbed his stomach, "After you’re done, I’m gonna eat a thousand roasted whole cows!"
"Sure! As many as you want!" Zhao Muye laughed heartily in response.
The two exchanged a smile, then simultaneously tore a rift into the void, opening a pitch-black gap in space.
They leaped into it and disappeared instantly, leaving only the gradually closing space rift.
The entire long street instantly exploded with chatter and discussion.
"Again, two Spirit Severing Realm powerhouses appear!"
"Judging by the presence, they’re probably experts from the neighboring Jiuli Dynasty?"
"Why has the Imperial City been so lively lately..."
...
Meanwhile, Shen Yunzhou smirked and explained to Zhou Qing, "That fellow is Zhao Muye’s mount and brother, a half-pureblood ancient dragon-elephant, a genuine Demon Emperor."
He added sourly, "Naturally born as a space-type Spirit Beast, never needing a Flying Ship for travel, directly tears through space to traverse."
"Wherever Zhao Crazy wants to go, he just sits on its back."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing’s eyes showed a hint of envy.
He recalled Sikong Yan once saying, even Spirit Severing experts dare not traverse the void for long periods.
Spatial turbulence, storms, and those ferocious Space Beasts could make one forever lost in the void at any moment.
Having a space-type Demon Emperor as a mount is truly enviable.
"Damn it! Talking from such a height, can’t they keep their voices down?"
Shen Yunzhou suddenly cursed and sniffed under his armpit, "Where am I smelly?"
He’s barely finished before gagging.
"Ugh—seems there is indeed a bit of a smell..."
Zhou Qing, however, wasn’t interested in these matters, furrowing his brows and asking, "Will they kill Yama?"
Shen Yunzhou grumpily lowered his arm and rubbed his reddened nose, "What are you thinking? Zhao Crazy is purely looking for a live target to practice on."
He smirked, showing some disdain, "This guy’s life motto is just two words—fight! Either fighting, or on the way to fight."
Seeing Zhou Qing still confused, Shen Yunzhou leaned closer, lowered his voice, "The Zhao Family’s Body Refining Evil Technique isn’t like our understanding at all, it must constantly battle to improve."
He made an exaggerated shivering gesture, "Those lunatics train by getting beaten to a pulp. The more severe the injury, the faster the breakthrough, truly a bunch of masochists!"
"Of course, don’t think too much. The Zhao Family’s Body Refining Secret Technique is a bloodline inheritance, outsiders can’t learn it even through Soul Search and capture."
He shrugged, "Frankly, this method of breaking through Spirit Slash by taking hits, only the Zhao Family can use it."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing showed a hint of disappointment.
He had originally hoped these two guys could conveniently solve the Yama issue.
"I know what you’re worrying about," Shen Yunzhou looked at Zhou Qing, "Don’t worry, Yama can’t trace it back to you guys."
His eyes flashed a cunning light, "When my sister and I left the Yan Family, that Yama guy wasn’t even in the clan, he’s been adventuring outside for many years."
"Though with the Yan Family’s methods, he’ll eventually receive word from the clan and learn about Yan Sen’s uncle-nephew incident."
Shen Yunzhou suddenly grinned, "But as long as you’re careful, it’ll be fine. Besides, my sister is still here keeping watch, isn’t she?"
Seeing Zhou Qing’s brows furrow even tighter, Shen Yunzhou couldn’t help but show a guilty expression, "I’m sorry, our troubles ended up dragging you in."
Damn Yan Sen, that scum!
If he hadn’t designed to lure me into that Secret Realm, I wouldn’t be cursed...
My sister has been wandering everywhere to find two Spirit Medicines to save me, venturing into all sorts of forbidden zones.
Though she got Zhou Qing’s help later in Kunpeng Palace, Yan Sen targeted her again.
Though Yan Sen is dead now, he’s left such a big threat for Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao.
Zhou Qing looked at the guilty Shen Yunzhou and gently shook his head, "You’ve already apologized many times, it’s not your fault. Let’s stop talking, have some food, the dishes are getting cold."
Beside them, Ghost Mastiff and Luo Lingling were listening in bewilderment.
Little Junior Brother’s relationship with the Shen siblings seems different from their expectations.
What’s even stranger is why such an unfamiliar Yama would frighten Little Junior Brother so much?
