This was a small, nameless region in the Gods' Continent. There were no major powers here. It was a lawless region where the righteous and demonic factions were in chaos. There was mutual deception and killing everywhere. It was the hiding place of many demonic factions.
A major power had appeared here in the past. However, for some unknown reason, that power disappeared in the long river of time. Even their divine weapons were nowhere to be found. Later on, many almighty Daoists who knew the ways of the Daoist Sect saw this place and said that it was a place where dragons were buried. No power could be passed down here for long. Therefore, some of the major powers who had designs on this place gave up. In the end, they turned this place into a lawless region.
This place was surrounded by mountains. Only a few small and medium-sized cities were built in the middle for demonic martial artists and righteous sect members to cultivate.
Shen Lang, Taihuang, and Dao Bu Kong walked quietly on a winding mountain path.
Shen Lang did not teleport because he was afraid of alerting the mysterious expert.
On the mountain path, Shen Lang and the other two were like tourists. They strolled along the winding mountain path, ascending the steps.
"God Emperor, I feel that that person cannot possibly still be here. He already knows that he has been exposed. If it were me, I would have moved to another place long ago."
On the mountain path, Dao Bu Kong pondered for a moment before speaking slowly to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang smiled slightly. "I also know that he cannot possibly still be here. However, we do not need to be anxious. He has already been exposed. He must be in a state of panic. Sooner or later, he will give himself away. If we rush over now, we may not be able to find him. I am going over now to see if I can find any clues."
Shen Lang knew that the mysterious expert was definitely afraid of him. After all, the entire Gods' Continent was under his rule. If he wanted to hide, even with the strength of an expert, he would have to be careful.
Moreover, that person might have something to do with the Sovereign Godhead. He would be even more afraid of him.
Just as Shen Lang and the other two were halfway up the mountain, three cultivators with traces of devil qi on their bodies suddenly jumped down from the mountain and blocked Shen Lang and the other two's path.
The leading cultivator was a man with a rough face. When the man saw Shen Lang and the other two, he was a little surprised at first. Then, he muttered, "Impossible." Then, he shouted at Shen Lang and the other two, "Hand over the things you have on you and I'll make sure you don't die."
Shen Lang could not help but shake his head and smile. How many years had it been since he had encountered such a situation?
After Shen Lang laughed, a Demon Dao martialist behind the burly man could not help but tug at the corner of the burly man's clothes. He said in a trembling voice, "Big Brother, he seems to be a Celestial Emperor."
When the crude-looking man heard that, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Shen Lang. The more he looked, the more he resembled that figure deeply imprinted in his mind. His body trembled, and even with his Transformation Realm strength, he nearly fell to the ground.
Dao Bukong looked at the three with a mocking gaze. The Motian Domain was truly full of daring people. They even dared to block the path of a God Emperor.
"God … God Emperor."
The three Devil Dao cultivators trembled as they called out to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang looked at the three indifferently and asked, "Have you seen the person living at the top of the mountain?"
The three Demon Dao martialists hurriedly pondered this in their minds.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong, they said, "Reporting to the God Emperor, we three brothers have lived here for three years, but we have never seen anyone living at the top of the mountain."
Shen Lang knew that with that person's strength, it would be easy for him to not be discovered. Thus, he was not disappointed. Instead, he said indifferently, "The three of you, jump down from here. If you manage to survive, I will spare your lives."
With a light flick of Shen Lang's finger, the True Qi within the bodies of the three Devil Dao martial artists was sealed. Soon after, they felt a gentle breeze blowing, and the three of them involuntarily jumped off the cliff.
"AHHH!"
Three miserable cries rang out from the bottom of the cliff.
The three Devil Dao cultivators were only a brief interlude. Two hours later, Shen Lang's group arrived at the top of the mountain. There were rocks everywhere, making the place look somewhat desolate. There were three relatively tidy stone houses, which should be the residence of the three Devil Dao cultivators. As for Shen Lang's group, they did not discover anything.
Shen Lang frowned slightly and looked at Dao Bukong. "Where is he?"
Bu Kong Dao thought back to what the elder had said before he died. He followed the instructions given to him by the elder.
Bang!!!
Dao Bukong casually smashed a huge rock into pieces. A deep tunnel appeared before Shen Lang's group.
Shen Lang nodded his head slightly. Then, he flew down and entered the deep tunnel.
As soon as he reached the bottom, Shen Lang smelled a thick bloody stench.
Shen Lang frowned slightly and walked in.
When they reached the end of the passageway, they saw a simple and unadorned stone door. The thick smell of blood was coming from behind the stone door.
Taihuang walked past Shen Lang and took the lead to walk towards the stone door. On the Human Sovereign Sword in his hand, imperial Dragon Qi gathered. If there was any movement, it would attract Taihuang's fatal attack.
Among the three of them, only Dao Bukong was trembling with fear. After all, this was the hiding place of the mysterious supreme being. If a great battle were to break out, the first one to be affected would definitely be him. Even if he had a divine weapon in hand, it would be difficult for him to survive the aftermath of a great battle between supreme beings.
Boom!!!
The stone door was violently broken open by Taihuang. A huge stone cave appeared before Shen Lang's group.
At this moment, the stone cave was silent. Only the blood-stained ground and the bloody stench in the air showed that there had been people here.
"Elder Di of the Wind Tribe and Elder Nan of the Dark Regions."
Dao Bukong saw two shriveled corpses beside the stone door. They had been drained of their vital essence and their bodies were dry. He could not help but shout in shock.
These two were the missing Dao Reunion Elders of the Wind Tribe and the Dark Regions.
Emperor Tai observed Zhai Zhangliao and Elder Nangong for a while and said with a serious expression, "God Emperor, the essence of these two people has been sucked dry. It seems like that person is indeed able to absorb the power of others."
Inside the cave, there were only corpses. Not a single person was alive. The most recent death was three days ago. It seemed like the mysterious supreme expert had left after the elder of the Sky Saber Sect escaped. That person was quite cautious. He did not hesitate at all. He did not even have the time to destroy the cave before escaping. It seemed like he was afraid that Ye Xiwen would be the first to receive the news and come to stop him.
Dao Bu Kong looked at the corpses on the ground and his face was filled with fear. The way these people had died was too terrifying. This way of dying was better than being killed by someone else. At least they could die in peace. What kind of pain would they have to endure to have their essence sucked dry?
