"How have the elders of the academy decided to punish me?" Du Shaofu asked Ouyang Shuang.
Only then did Ouyang Shuang retract her gaze from Du Xiaoyao, her expression turning solemn as she said to Du Shaofu, "You're fine now. The elders have already discussed and decided to let you capture Ghost Claw and take back the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine. At that time, they will not make things difficult for you."
"Ghost Claw, Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine." Du Shaofu looked suspiciously at Ouyang Shuang and asked, "What are these?"
"Ghost Claw is a villain of the Dark Forest. It is said that he has the strength of the Martial Lord realm. In the entire Dark Forest, he is also a notorious figure. His methods are cruel and merciless. In addition, he cultivates the Ghost Claw Art. Thus, over time, he gained the name Ghost Claw.
Not long ago, Ghost Claw was captured by the combined forces of General 'Endless Rivers' and 'Spirited Jade Maiden' Gu Xinyan. However, in the end, he was imprisoned in the academy's magnetite mine to excavate magnetite. "
Ouyang Shuang continued, "But unexpectedly, Ghost Claw somehow broke through the seal and recovered his cultivation. Furthermore, with someone helping him, not only did he snatch away the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine that had just been excavated from the magnetite mine, he also killed an elder and several dozen students."
"Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine, sounds familiar. I seem to have heard of it before." Du Shaofu mumbled softly.
"The Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine is a material for forging weapons. It is a heavenly treasure that can be used to forge Dao weapons. Its value is even higher than the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit." Ouyang Shuang said.
"Dao weapon."
Du Shaofu frowned slightly. Above Spirit weapons were Practitioner weapons, and above that were Dao weapons. It was said that even the most elite experts would find it difficult to possess a Dao weapon.
The value of a material for forging a Practitioner weapon could be imagined. It was not strange that it was even higher than the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit.
Its true value was probably not something the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit could compare to.
"Not long ago, there was news from the Dark City that the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine would be auctioned off soon. There was also news spreading throughout the Dark Forest that the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine came from Tianwu Academy. Thus, the elders of the academy hope that you can capture Ghastly Claw and retrieve the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine."
Ou Yangshuang told Du Shaofu, "That is why we are rushing to Dark Town. There are still six days until the auction of the Mysterious Spirit Sky Vine. The general, Gu Xinyan, Ghost Baby, Wu Que, and Guo Shaofeng should all be heading to Dark Town. We need to meet up with them and then move together."
"It's a little strange." Du Shaofu was somewhat puzzled.
"What's strange?" Ouyang Shuang asked.
"Don't you find it strange? Ghastly Claw killed so many people from the academy and even snatched the treasure of the academy. Why would he auction off the Profound Spirit Heavenly Vine in the Dark City? If it were me, I would have hidden far away." Du Shaofu voiced out the doubts in his heart.
"There's nothing strange about it. The Dark Forest is a paradise of crime and chaos. No one can interfere in it. Furthermore, Ghastly Claw knows that the elders of the academy can't enter the Dark City." Ouyang Shuang said.
"Why can't the Dean enter the Dark City?"
Du Shaofu was aware of the chaos in the Dark Forest. However, it was inconvenient for the elders of the academy to enter the Dark Forest. Therefore, Du Shaofu was puzzled.
"The Dark Forest is huge. Other than the Dark City, there are many other cities that are occupied by various powers. The Dark Forest is a place where crooks and honest folk mix together. There are also many experts among them. Thus, the most repulsive thing for an official power to enter such a place is none other than the entry of an official power."
Ouyang Shuang licked her dry red lips and hurriedly continued, "If the elders of the academy enter the Dark City, they will immediately arouse the suspicion of the various powers in the Dark Forest. Even if the elders of the academy manage to kill Ghastly Claw in the Dark City, the various powers in the Dark Forest will immediately join forces to deal with Tianwu Academy. If the entire Dark Forest were to join forces, even the academy would have to be wary."
"That's a little troublesome." Du Shaofu naturally understood what Ouyang Shuang said. Naturally, the Dark Forest was a place where official powers were the most repulsive.
However, Du Shaofu still felt that something was amiss. Since Ghastly Claw managed to escape and snatch the treasure, and even made such a big fuss about it, it was clear that he was intentionally going against Tianwu Academy. This didn't seem to benefit him at all.
For a vicious and merciless person, he wouldn't do something that didn't benefit him.
"If the elders don't make a move, it won't be easy for us to capture Ghastly Claw in the Dark City," Du Shaofu said.
Ouyang Shuang knitted her brows and said, "It shouldn't be a problem. As long as we can find Ghastly Claw, we will have a chance. Previously, Ghastly Claw was captured by the joint forces of the general and Gu Xinyan. Furthermore, Gui Wa, Wu Que, and Guo Shaofeng joined forces this time."
"The top five on the Martial Ranking, they must be very strong!"
Du Shaofu raised his gaze. The five of them were experts ranked in the top five on the Martial Ranking. The moment he entered the academy, he saw their names.
"You're very strong now, and your reputation isn't beneath the five of them."
Ouyang Shuang glanced at Du Shaofu and muttered, "I really don't know how you cultivate to be able to raise your strength so quickly."
"I'm very hardworking and kind. The heavens reward the diligent, so it's not strange for my strength to increase faster." Du Shaofu laughed shamelessly.
"Shameless!" Ouyang Shuang couldn't help but say.
"You're right. Shameless." Du Xiaoyao also scolded in front of the King Scaled Demonic Tiger's forehead, then turned around and looked forward.
"Pfft …"
Du Xiaoyao's scolding made Ouyang Shuang burst out laughing.
"Damn monkey." Du Shaofu couldn't help but stare at Du Xiaoyao.
"Are there any people from the Black Fiend Sect in the Dark City?" Suddenly, Du Shaofu looked at Ouyang Shuang and asked, a faint chill spreading out from his eyes.
"There should be." Ouyang Shuang nodded, then gave Du Shaofu a brief introduction of the situation in the Dark City.
The Dark City was one of the largest cities in the entire Dark Forest. Various major forces in the Dark Forest were entrenched here. With the Dark City as their foundation, their influence spread out to all parts of the Dark City.
The Dark City was also the most lively place in the entire Dark Forest. There were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
It was said that many famous villains lived in the Dark City. It was possible to meet an inconspicuous person on the streets of the Dark City. Perhaps he was an expert whose name had once shaken the continent.
Therefore, although it was said that strength was respected in the Dark City, one's eyesight was also quite important. There was a chance that one would meet someone that one couldn't afford to offend.
Among the densely packed buildings, there was an inconspicuous deep courtyard.
"Hmm …"
In the room, there was a pure woman's voice, and one could smell the strange scent of a woman's body.
On the bed, a voluptuous woman was naked. When a skinny old man hugged her smooth waist, his eyes were almost dizzy. He eagerly searched for her lips, wanting to taste her tongue.
"Hehe, don't …"
But at this time, the woman became stingy. She clenched her teeth and only revealed a little of her tongue. The skinny old man's tongue could only touch it but couldn't suck it. This made the skinny old man extremely anxious.
"Don't hide, I'll reward you heavily later."
As the skinny old man spoke, he anxiously gnawed on her tongue.
"That's what you said."
The woman was immediately satisfied. She directly reached her hand to the skinny old man's waist and skillfully grabbed his thing.
"Ouch …"
The skinny old man immediately cried out in pain. He felt as if every strand of his hair and fingernails had swelled up. That thing seemed to be filled with air and was about to explode. He immediately hugged the woman tightly in front of his chest. His entire body was filled with an irritable heat that could not be dispelled.
A moment later, there was a burst of decadent sounds in the room. It took a long time for it to dissipate.
"Creak …"
The door opened and a skinny old man with messy clothes walked out. Through the crack in the door, one could vaguely see a naked body on the bed. There was blood flowing out from the woman's body. There was no sign of life in her body.
"It's best not to be too ostentatious during this special period. There are many people looking for you now, especially those from Tianwu Academy."
A black-clothed old man appeared beside the skinny old man. This person was wearing a mask and his appearance could not be clearly seen. However, his eyes contained a faint chill. They were as dark and sinister as a poisonous snake, causing one's hair to stand on end and one's heart to feel a chill for no reason when one looked at him.
"Don't worry, it's already settled."
The skinny old man said. He looked to be in his fifties and was all skin and bones. His eyes were sunken into his eye sockets and there was a tinge of red in his eyes. At this moment, his hands seemed to be stained with blood. He licked the blood stains on his fingertips and said, "When a woman is at her most comfortable, she won't even know when she's dead. She might even think that she's dreaming."
"I've received news that many people from Tianwu Academy have arrived at Dark City," the black-robed old man said with a sinister voice.
"Good that they're here. Are the two people I want here yet?" A sharp killing intent flashed in the skinny old man's eyes and he clenched his hands tightly.
"Not yet, but they should be here soon. The two people who wanted to deal with you back then are here," the black-robed old man said.
"Hehe … Come, kill the man. The woman is a top-notch one, so leave her for me to slowly enjoy. Dark City isn't Tianwu Academy. Do those brats really think that I'm that easy to deal with?" The skinny old man sneered and his eyes were filled with killing intent. How could he not take revenge for being captured back then?
