After seeing off Cheng Dongfeng, Jiang He went for a stroll around his farm and 'planted' the two eggs of the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle.
Still, after waiting for dozens of minutes, the 'egg' did not sprout, and Jiang He felt a little tired instead.
"Eh?"
Yawning, Jiang He was a little surprised and delighted!
He …
Was actually feeling a little sleepy?
How long had it been since he felt that? …
After all, Jiang He had been tossing and turning every day, unable to sleep.
He would only fall asleep late into the night every day, and yet he was feeling a little sleepy even when the sky was not even dark. How could he not be delighted?
"Could it be that I've killed the Golden-Winged Roc and resolved some possible future trouble, which is why I'm relaxed and my biological clock is recovering?" Jiang He returned to his mansion and headed to the swimming pool for a bath, when he suddenly remembered something …
"No!"
"The reason I'm feeling sleepy is not because my mind is clear after killing the Golden-Winged Roc. After all, how could my mind be clear before the Sky Demon Cult is wiped out?"
"It must be the repercussions of using the Twenty-Three Swords."
Jiang He chuckled bitterly, but soon laughed again.
Using Sword Twenty-Three would hurt one's mind, and once one's mind was hurt, one would feel tired and sleepy. Wasn't Sword Twenty-Three what he needed right now?
It was so effective in helping him sleep. It was simply divine!
After his bath, Jiang He returned to his room and lay down on his soft bed, and soon entered dreamland.
The sky outside the window was slowly darkening.
It was already dark.
… …
Meanwhile, a figure was walking out of the darkness in front of a lake deep within Shennongjia, arriving at the edge of the lake.
Though the figure was wearing a black robe, one could tell from the back that it was a woman with a curvaceous figure.
Be that as it may, the front of the assassin's back was usually cruel … and beneath the black robe was a face so ugly that it resembled the Hulk's skin color.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the waves of the lake churned, and a thirty-meter-long ancient crocodile lunged out, gaping its bloody maw at the black-robed figure.
"Freeze!"
The black-robed figure extended a finger and gently pointed at the incoming crocodile.
Buzz!
A soft trembling sound rang out, and the air in the void froze. Even the seventh-tier Fierce Beast, the giant crocodile, was frozen in mid-air.
"A mere seventh-ranked demon dares to attack me?"
The black-robed figure opened her mouth. Although she was a woman, her voice was very hoarse.
At that moment, the lake churned again, and an even larger crocodile surfaced from beneath the lake.
It was more than 300 meters long, and its huge crocodile body was covered with dark, steel-like scales. The crocodile's head was a bit like a dragon's head, and there was even a single horn on its head.
It was the Dragoncroc Emperor.
This great swamp was its lair.
Mist wafted in the air around the Dragoncroc Emperor once it appeared. Its eyes were dark golden and glinted coldly under the moonlight as it stared coldly at the black-robed woman and spoke in human tongue, "Human elite? No … I can sense a special aura from your body. It's like a human, but it's not. "
The woman took off the black robe on her head.
Her ugly green face squirmed and turned into a normal person's face.
She had long golden hair and exquisite facial features, but was a foreigner instead of a Hua Nation citizen.
"Dragoncroc Emperor, I am the Cardinal of the Sky Sage Cult. I have come to Shennongjia in the name of the Saint to deliver something to you."
Whoosh!
The golden-haired woman flicked out a jade sword.
It was merely three inches long and hovered in front of the Dragoncroc Emperor. The Dragoncroc Emperor scanned it with its spirit, turning it into a strand of spirit information that seeped into the Dragoncroc Emperor's mind.
The Dragoncroc Emperor's dark golden eyes slowly closed.
Around three minutes later, the Dragoncroc Emperor opened its eyes again.
Much of its presence had faded, and the killing intent in its golden eyes had diminished. "We daemons may be at odds with humans," it said, "but we are still beings born on Earth. Go back."
"That's a shame."
The golden-haired woman did not say anything.
Her figure slowly backed away and faded into the darkness before her hoarse voice spoke, "Dragoncroc Emperor, the human elites of the Hua Nation are growing stronger by the day, but the Golden-Winged Roc and you daemons have always been the only elites in the Hua Nation. Aren't you going to think about the future of your race?"
"If humans really rise … would you daemons even have room to live?"
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Cardinal Wu Dong had gone to Mount Golden Roc to discuss the matter with the Golden-Winged Roc …"
The voice faded.
The black figure was nowhere to be seen.
The Dragoncroc Emperor floated over the surface of the lake and stared at the direction where the black-robed figure disappeared, unable to hold back a sigh.
Sigh …
Those superpowers those people awakened are really weird. That woman's ability isn't all that impressive, but she's quite fast at running. I didn't even have time to tell her about the Golden-Winged Roc. "
The Dragoncroc Emperor closed its eyes and sank back into the lake.
… …
It was night, and the full moon hung high in the sky.
It was the fifteenth of the tenth lunar month, which was why the moon was exceptionally round and bright.
Meanwhile, a black-robed figure was levitating in the air beneath Bukadaban Peak.
Black mist swirled around the black-robed man's body, and there was a faint glint in his eyes. His hands were rather deformed and his fingers had fearsome fingernails, and he was the unlucky Cardinal of the Sky Demon Cult who had negotiated with the Graywolf King deep within Mount Dadong to open a heritage site, only to be cut down by Three Blades Lin soon afterward.
There was more than one Cardinal of the Sky Demon Cult.
According to the rules of the Sky Demon Cult, any cultists who cultivated their Boundary of Wills would be baptized in the Holy Lake, emerging as divine-tier and becoming a Cardinal of the Sky Demon Cult.
Of course.
Full mastery of the Boundary of Wills was not easy to cultivate either, which was why the Sky Demon Cult only had four Cardinals at the moment, such as the golden-haired woman and another Cardinal who had joined from overseas.
The one before them was a Hua Nation citizen named Wu Dong.
He was a famous assassin in the underworld even before the Revival of Qi, and was later put on a wanted list for assassinating a high-ranking official. Left with nowhere else to go, he joined the Sky Demon Cult and became one of their hierarchy.
Now, however, Wu Dong could no longer be considered human.
After the baptism at the Holy Lake, his body was slowly developing and mutating into a Sky Demon.
At the moment, Wu Dong was standing in the air beneath Bukadaban Peak, his glowing eyes beneath his black robes filled with shock. He turned his head mechanically to study his surroundings, only to find that the mountains around him had collapsed, the glaciers beneath the mountain cracked, and the signs of a terrible battle were everywhere.
"What …"
"What actually happened?"
Wu Dong did not find the Golden-Winged Roc's lair when he arrived.
Instead, he arrived before the signs of battle and found many Golden-Winged Roc feathers.
An ominous feeling arose in Wu Dong's disbelief, and he muttered to himself, "No way, that's impossible … the Golden-Winged Roc is a Feral Emperor. Who could have hurt it?"
He was feeling extremely aggrieved!
Damn it!
What the heck?
Am I that unlucky?
The last time he went to Mount Dadong, he had negotiated terms with the Graywolf King, but none of the elites he brought with him survived. Now, he was here to discuss important matters with the Golden-Winged Roc under the Saint's orders, but …
The Golden-Winged Roc was gone.
Its lair was almost blown up.
Looking at the golden feathers all over the ground, Wu Dong even suspected that the Golden-Winged Roc had been killed by someone …
"Whatever!"
"The Saint can't blame me since the Golden-Winged Roc isn't here."
"It's a full moon tonight. It's time to find the Graywolf King and open the heritage site!"
Wu Dong gritted his teeth and laughed coldly. "I don't believe it! Let me run into another accident when I open the heritage site if you can!"
