Unfortunately, he wasn't going to kill them this time. Instead, he was going to do it without leaving any traces!
If that was the case, Zhu Minglang would not be able to covet the wealth of these people. Otherwise, the Holy Spirit Pearl that Pu Shiming had on him was still very valuable.
There was also no need to destroy the corpses. The Innate Fiend Dragon was a variant of the Zombie Dragon. Even if it dropped some scales during the battle, most people wouldn't be able to tell what it was.
The scene had to be realistic.
Just like the Mountain Immortal Ghost, it would appear and disappear unpredictably. After the massacre, it would disappear without a trace, leaving behind a ground full of corpses and wreckage.
After repeatedly checking several times to make sure he didn't miss anything, Zhu Minglang swaggered out of the bamboo forest.
The sky was already dark. Zhu Minglang returned to the inn at the relay station. Wen Mengru and Bai Qinan had already been taken away by the people from the Mt. Xuan Sword Sect. There was no need for him to stay here and look after them.
In order to not arouse suspicion, Zhu Minglang purposely stayed at the inn for one more day.
He purposely waited until Pu Shiming and Hall Keeper Qian's corpses were discovered before Zhu Minglang had the intention to leave.
The morning was slightly chilly. Zhu Minglang prepared to leave and return to the tawny land. Sure enough, Zhu Xuehen appeared.
"I was just about to say goodbye to Auntie Xue Hen. I didn't expect Auntie to be waiting for me here," Zhu Minglang passed through the large camphor tree and walked towards Zhu Xuehen who was wearing a simple robe.
"The blood on the ground is the blood of the Mountain Immortal Ghost I killed," Zhu Xuehen's tone was somewhat cold.
"Are you angry?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"I said I would give him a chance," Zhu Xuehen said.
"Actually, when I see a man with Auntie Xue Hen all day, I feel very uncomfortable," Zhu Minglang laughed.
Zhu Xuehen snorted coldly. She didn't take Zhu Minglang's words seriously. Her eyes were emotionless as she said, "You can leave now."
"Then, Auntie Xue Hen, take care," Zhu Minglang said.
Zhu Xuehen didn't say anything else. She seemed to have a question in her heart, but she didn't ask it in the end.
This doubt had nothing to do with love. She just did not understand how Zhu Minglang had managed to kill Pu Shiming and those experts around Pu Shiming.
With his current strength, he shouldn't be able to do that.
What was Zhu Minglang's hiding?
…
Zhu Minglang to leave's't.
The Mountain Immortal Ghost, Earth Immortal Ghost, Forest Immortal Ghost, and River Immortal Ghost had nothing to do with him. The people from the four major sects and the Dynasty had already gathered here.
He came out to hunt and feed the dragon. He didn't have to fight with these immortal ghosts.
Moreover, the strength of the Earth Immortal Ghosts was probably close to the King Realm. Some of them had even reached the King Realm after a long time. Not to mention the Mountain Immortal Ghost that flattened the Purple Sect Forest.
It was probably a Transcendent holy spirit that was more than fifty thousand years old. Even with the help of the Dragon King, Zhu Minglang might not be its match.
…
Snow Peak City.
They had to pass through the mountain pass behind Snow Peak City to get closer to the Tea Colored Land. After arriving at Snow Peak City, Zhu Minglang rested for a while.
The Heaven Fiend Dragon was already snoring thunderously in the Spirit Domain. Zhu Minglang had no choice but to ride his horse back to the Tea Colored Land.
He glanced at the Spirit Domain. The silver snow cocoon, the golden silk cocoon, the metal sword bud, and the huge black cocoon …
They were like four magnificent tombs that didn't move at all. Every time Zhu Minglang missed them, he wanted to burn a few incense sticks under their cocoons.
Why did they all go into hibernation?
The Heaven Fiend Dragon had eaten its fill. Unless Zhu Minglang's life was in danger, it wouldn't work for him. This made Zhu Minglang, the Venerable Dragon Shepard, become a primitive man overnight. He didn't even have a mount and could only ride a horse.
Luckily, Snow Peak City was more prosperous and he had money on hand. When the time came, he could rent a flying dragon. He believed that he wouldn't have to travel so far.
Life without a dragon was indeed a little tough.
How was he going to explain this to his wives …? How was he going to explain this to his wives and sisters-in-law?
He would have to rely on them for some things in the future.
Of course, he could handle big things, but it depended on whether it was big enough for the Dragon King.
…
When he arrived at Snow Peak City, Zhu Minglang saw the sign of Zhu Men's Courtyard. It was in the most prosperous and eye-catching part of the city.
Seeing his own store, Zhu Minglang's eyes lit up.
He had all the money left from renting the flying dragon.
When he entered the Courtyard Forging Shop, Zhu Minglang showed his identity. The disciples of Zhu Men's Courtyard looked at each other. They couldn't be sure that this was the only young master of Zhu Men's Courtyard.
This place was very far from the Imperial Capital. Even the core members of Zhu Men's Courtyard Outer Courtyard rarely visited, let alone the only young master of Zhu Men's Courtyard Inner Courtyard. They had never met anyone with a real identity.
Only then did Zhu Minglang realize that his Courtyard Identity Token might not be useful here. No one had seen it before, so he took out the jade token that Zhu Yushan had given him. As expected, the disciples of Zhu Men's Courtyard Outer Courtyard were stunned. They hurriedly half-knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Young Master, please take a seat inside. The shopkeeper is forging a black gold hoof for one of King An's divine bulls. He said that he wants to present it to a distinguished guest from beyond the heavens," a disciple said respectfully.
"It's fine. I'm just here to ask for a mount … A guest from beyond the heavens?" Zhu Minglang didn't realize it at first, but when he heard this title, he suddenly remembered the identity that Zhu Xuehen had mentioned.
"That's what the shopkeeper said. It should be done soon. Young Master, please wait a moment," the disciple said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and sturdy man walked out of the forging room. He didn't have a single strand of hair on his head, and his muscles were shiny. Yet, he was only wearing a leather vest.
"Are you Big Brother Yushan's son? I heard the people outside talking, so I left my work and came out. Please forgive me for not coming out to meet you! "the sturdy shopkeeper said.
"Yes, Branch Leader. I was just passing by and wanted to ask for a mount." Zhu Minglang nodded. He felt that there was no need to say that he was Zhu Minglang. He would just use the identity of his deceased younger brother, Zhu Tong, for now.
When people from the Outer Court heard that he was a member of the Inner Court, most of them would be overly respectful and overcautious. It would be more casual to say that he was from the Outer Court.
"It's rare for you to come. We must treat you well. Our Snow Peak City's Branch Leader from the Outer Court rarely receives such an important guest like you," the sturdy man said straightforwardly.
"Shopkeeper, the Golden Crow Hoof that Prince An wants …" the disciple reminded him softly.
"Prince An is an outsider. He's not as important as our young master. It's not too late for me to send it to him tomorrow," the man said.
"Shopkeeper, I heard that Prince An wants to give the Golden Crow Hoof to some guest from beyond the heavens. What does a guest from beyond the heavens mean?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"I don't know. That's what Prince An told me. He wants me to work through the night because I'm late. He wants to teach me a lesson. What arrogance."
"I haven't seen any guest from beyond the heavens. Why don't you bring me along when you send the Golden Crow Hoof? Let me broaden my horizons," Zhu Minglang said.
"No problem. Then I'll ask my subordinates to treat the young master well. I'll go finish the work first," the straightforward shopkeeper said.
