In the depths of the Golden Cloud Mountains in Yongzhou, seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators were slowly walking forward.
"Chen Daoyou, have you heard? I've heard that a fifth-grade demonic bat has appeared nearby. I don't think we should continue forward. Let's go around it!" A tall and thin Blue Shirt Youth suggested with a worried expression.
"A fifth-grade demonic bat? That's impossible. Even fourth-grade demonic beasts are rare in the Golden Cloud Mountains, let alone fifth-grade demonic beasts. Fellow Daoist Li, don't believe those people's nonsense. "A tall middle-aged man shook his head and said indifferently.
"Chen Daoyou, I've also heard. I know two Fellow Daoists who have seen the fifth-grade demonic bat with their own eyes. Let's be careful and take a detour from other places! At worst, we'll take a longer route. There's nothing wrong with being careful. "A young woman with delicate facial features hesitated for a moment and suggested.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man felt that it was reasonable and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a strange cry suddenly sounded and a forty-meter-long black bat swooped down from the distant horizon.
"Not good, it's the fifth-grade demonic bat. Everyone, run." When the Blue Shirt Youth saw the black bat, his expression changed greatly. After shouting, he took out an Earth Escape Talisman and was about to slap it on his body.
The others also chanted incantations and were about to escape.
At this moment, the black bat opened its mouth and let out a strange cry.
When the Blue Shirt Youth and the others heard this strange cry, their hands suddenly stopped moving.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the black bat sped up and arrived in front of them in two flashes.
The Blue Shirt Youth's expression changed greatly and his lips slightly moved a few times. A thick layer of blue light suddenly appeared on his body.
The black bat's sharp claws easily tore through the blue light and its sharp fangs bit towards the Blue Shirt Youth's neck.
With a blood-curdling scream, the Blue Shirt Youth turned into a dried corpse in the blink of an eye.
The middle-aged man saw that the situation was bad and hurriedly crushed a Fire Escape Talisman. His entire body was wrapped in flames and disappeared.
The others also took out their Escape Talismans one after another. They either disappeared under a green light, drilled into the ground under a yellow light, or flew away under a golden light.
Even so, two Immortal Cultivators were still a beat too slow and were sucked dry by the black bats.
After killing the three people, the black bat flew back the way it had come.
A quarter of an hour later, the black bat flew back into a very spacious underground cave and hung upside down on the ceiling of the cave.
A black-clothed man with delicate facial features sat cross-legged on the ground. He glanced at the black bat hanging upside down on the ceiling of the cave and muttered to himself in a low voice, "It should be here soon!"
The man in black was none other than Wang Changsheng.
When he arrived at Golden Cloud Valley, Wang Changsheng found that there was a wanted notice posted at the entrance. However, he was wearing the Thousand Illusions Mask, so no one knew that he was the person on the wanted notice.
Last time, Wang Changsheng killed a Yang Clan's Core Formation Stage cultivator. Not long ago, he killed a Yang Clan's Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. The Yang Clan would definitely strengthen their defenses. It would be difficult to lure another Core Formation Stage cultivator out of the market.
After thinking about it, he came up with the idea of using the Bloodthirsty Spirit Bat to lure out the Yang Clan Core Formation Cultivator.
Wang Changsheng believed that if the Yang Clan Core Formation Cultivator stationed at the market knew about the appearance of a Class 5 Demon Bat, he would definitely be tempted.
If the Yang Clan Core Formation Cultivator did not come out, then it would be easy. The Bloodthirsty Spirit Bat would continue to hunt down the low level Immortal Cultivators who went out. In order to maintain the security of the market, the Yang Clan Core Formation Cultivator would definitely come out and kill the Bloodthirsty Spirit Bat. Otherwise, it would affect the business of Golden Cloud Valley.
In an exquisite pavilion in the Golden Cloud Valley, a middle-aged man was reporting something to a skinny blue-robed old man.
"Sixth Uncle, that Class 5 Demon Bat has appeared again. This month, thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators and fifty Qi Condensation Cultivators have already been killed. Now, the people in the valley are in a state of panic. Many cultivators don't dare to go deep into the mountains to hunt demon beasts for fear of encountering the Class 5 Demon Bat. If we don't get rid of that Class 5 Demon Bat, then in the long run, our Golden Cloud Valley's business will definitely be affected." The middle-aged man spoke word by word, his eyes filled with worry.
"Are you sure it's a Class 5 Demon Bat? Just one? "The blue-robed old man raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and truthfully replied, "Many people have encountered a Class 5 Demon Bat. The timing of each appearance is different. It should be just one."
The blue-robed old man frowned and said, "Why would a Class 5 Demon Bat suddenly appear? It couldn't have been domesticated, right? If it were a fifth-grade demonic beast, then it would be fine. However, fifth-grade demonic birds are rare even in the entire Great Song, let alone our Yongzhou. "The blue-robed old man propped up his chin with one hand and spoke with a frown.
The middle-aged man explained, "Class 5 Demon Bats have appeared here before, but it was a long time ago. Five years ago, someone discovered a Class 3 Demon Bat in the depths of the mountains, but it disappeared without a trace."
The blue-robed old man rolled his eyes at the middle-aged man and unhappily said, "How many cultivators does a Class 3 Demon Bat have to kill in five years to reach Class 5? Have you calculated it?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man awkwardly smiled and didn't dare to say anything else.
"Haha, Fourth Brother, I think you're worrying too much. Perhaps this Class 5 Demon Bat came from somewhere else." A forthright male voice sounded from outside.
As soon as the voice fell, a burly, dark-faced man walked in. From his aura, it could be seen that he was a Core Formation Cultivator.
"Sixteenth Uncle!"
"Sixteenth Brother."
"Fourth Brother, I think the older you get, the more cowardly you become. You don't even dare to deal with a Class 5 Demon Bat." The dark-faced man chuckled.
The blue-robed old man shook his head and frowned, "It's not that simple. A Class 5 Demon Bird came out of nowhere. I just can't help but feel a little uneasy."
"Since you don't dare to go, then I'll go! I just happen to be lacking a high level Demon Core to refine pills! "The dark-faced man said unconcernedly.
"Sixteenth Brother, be careful. If this is a trap set by someone else, then we'll be in trouble." The blue-robed old man advised with a serious expression.
"Who set this trap? If it's a Yuanying Cultivator, then he'll just kill us. Even if we open the city's grand formation, it'll be very difficult to stop his attack before the Venerable Ancestor arrives. Furthermore, if a Yuanying Cultivator attacks Golden Cloud Valley, then the Venerable Ancestor may not come to rescue us. Isn't he afraid of a diversion? Today is different from the past. Our clan only has a single Nascent Soul cultivator overseeing things. If a Core Formation cultivator were to set up a trap, with my speed, even a late Core Formation cultivator wouldn't be able to catch up, "the dark-skinned large man said with a displeased expression.
When the blue-robed old man heard this, he didn't say anything. Instead, he revealed a pensive expression.
"Fourth Brother, if you're worried, you can come with me. Let Sixth Brother stay in the market alone. You don't know what people are saying about our Yang Clan. They're saying that we don't dare to deal with that Fifth Level Demonic Bat. Some people even said that the Fifth Level Demonic Bat was domesticated by our Yang Clan's Core Formation Stage cultivators. A few shops have already canceled their leases and left our Golden Cloud Valley to find another way out. The number of cultivators who come to hunt demonic beasts and do business has decreased. Who knows how many generations of hard work the Golden Cloud Valley has put in to become what it is today? We can't let a Fifth Level Demonic Bat ruin the prosperity of the Golden Cloud Valley."
"That's right! Fourth Uncle, the longer we delay, the greater our losses. "The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.
After some thought, the blue-robed old man nodded and said, "Alright! Sixteenth Brother, then I'll have to trouble you to go. Sixth Brother and I will stay in the city. The Venerable Ancestor said that there must be two Core Formation Cultivators in the city. Without orders, we can't leave. Otherwise, I would've already gone out to destroy that Class 5 Demon Bat. However, you must be careful. If the situation turns bad, immediately send me a message and I'll come to your aid. "
"I know, Fourth Brother. I know what to do." The black-robed man's face lit up and he readily agreed.
With that said, he strode out.
