As one of the Ten Great Sects, even if the sect leader and the others were in trouble, it wasn't a place where a mere disciple like him could barge in. Besides, if he were to be discovered, how would he be able to find out the truth?
"I wonder where our junior uncle is now …"
Arriving at a quiet location in the forest, Yao Zhan jumped off the back of the beast and frowned.
Even though the spy from the Wind Lightning Sect had successfully infiltrated the sect, his position wasn't high. All he knew was that the other party had invited a senior uncle to guard the sect. As for the cultivation of the Xiantian Physique from ten years ago, he had no idea where he was.
His goal this time was to find the junior uncle and ascertain his true cultivation.
"There are two options. First, I can disguise myself as a new disciple and sneak in to gather information.
Second, the upper echelons of the Subduing Immortal Peak and the Heart Nurturing Hall are the residences of the upper echelons of the Subduing Immortal Peak. If I can meet him, I'll be able to ascertain his strength. If I can't … I'll just have to think of something else. "
Soon, he had two plans in mind. After pondering for a moment, he decided to go with the second one.
If it was possible to gather information on the junior uncle, the spy would have long reported back to him. There was no need for him to come here personally.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan turned to the Silver-winged Serpent Dragon and instructed, "Senior Serpent Dragon, you're too big. If you go there recklessly, you'll be discovered easily. Why don't you shrink a little and hide here? I'll come back to fetch you after I'm done gathering information …"
"Un!"
Nodding, the massive head of the Serpentine Dragon swayed slightly, and from several zhang long, it shrunk to the size of a cat.
Upon reaching Divinity realm, one could speak the human language and change one's size.
With a slight sway, Yao Zhan morphed into a black shadow and headed straight for the sect.
Shadow Movement Art!
He had obtained this technique in a fortuitous encounter. It allowed one to blend into the darkness of the night, concealing one's aura and strength. Even Zongshi realm experts would find it difficult to detect one's presence without using their Spiritual Perception.
It was due to this ability that Qin Wentian had sent him here.
Making use of the darkness, Yao Zhan slowly crept forward. Soon, he circled around the residences of the disciples and arrived at the Heart Nurturing Hall.
There wasn't a single person in sight. After searching for a moment, he turned around and headed to the Immortal Subduing Peak.
"Could it be … that Little Martial Uncle isn't here?"
If the two most likely places were not here, then where did this Little Martial Uncle go?
It seemed like the second plan was not going to work. He could only carry out the first one, which was to sneak in and ask around!
As long as they knew where the person was, they could sneak over at night.
An hour later, he had almost searched the entire mountain, but he did not find anything. Yao Zhan shook his head and headed back.
In order to disguise himself as a disciple of the Zhenxian Sect, he would have to find the spy first so as to learn more details. Otherwise, he could easily be exposed.
Soon, Yao Zhan returned to the place where he had separated from the Silver-winged Flood Dragon. Looking left and right, Yao Zhan's pupils shrank.
According to their agreement, the Serpentine Dragon had already disappeared without a trace. There were rolling mud and broken trees on the ground. It was clear that a battle had taken place here.
After taking a few steps forward, Zhang Xuan squatted down and dipped his finger into the ground. A drop of crimson blood appeared on his fingertip, and he sniffed it.
It was the blood of the Silver-winged Flood Dragon!
In other words … something must have happened!
Even though the Serpentine Dragon was only at Divinity realm 1-dan, it possessed the Dragon Bloodline. In a battle, even a Divinity realm 3-dan cultivator would find it difficult to kill it. If it was bent on escaping, even a Zongshi realm primary stage expert might not be able to stop it.
To disappear without a trace, leaving only a drop of blood on the ground … one had to be at Zongshi realm intermediate stage or even Zongshi realm advanced stage to do so!
And … based on what he knew, the strongest person in the Zhenxian Sect, Wu Yuen, was only at Divinity realm 5-dan!
"Could it be that Little Martial Uncle knew that I was here and made a move?"
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind.
If there was anyone in the Zhenxian Sect capable of taking the Serpentine Dragon away without a trace, it could only be the legendary Little Martial Uncle, the person with the highest seniority in the sect.
"Regardless, I'll know once I find Elder Serpentine Dragon …"
Gritting his teeth, Yao Zhan tapped his finger lightly, and the blood immediately burst into flames. White smoke rose into the air and spread into the depths of the forest.
Bloodline Tracking Art!
By burning one's bloodline, one could find the location of the main body! This was the most commonly used skill in the Zhenxian Sect to search for missing companions.
Taking a deep breath, Yao Zhan drove his strength to the maximum and flew in the direction the white smoke was pointing at.
…
Time went back to an hour ago.
After nearly one day and one night of recuperation, Demon King Bliss had absorbed the power of countless dung balls. Demon King Bliss had regained some of his strength.
Feeling the surging strength in his body, the adolescent boy stretched his back in agitation. Then, he sneaked out of the courtyard along the ground.
Right now, he was going to do something that would determine whether he could continue to reign supreme in the future — subduing the three powerful demonic beasts.
The first step was to find a way to satisfy their stomachs.
There was nothing more delicious in the world than dragon meat! Just that … where could he find it?
The bloodline of the Dragon Tribe was simply too powerful. Even if it was just a sliver, it was enough to grant one incredible talent. Most major sects and powers would capture it and rear it. Even if they weren't captured, they would hide it well, making it impossible for others to notice it.
"If there's no other way, I'll just head to the forest where I ate the demonic beasts previously. It would be best if I can find it, but if not, I'll just have to think of something else …"
After flying for a while, The Great Demon of Bliss suddenly froze. "It seems like I can sense the aura of a Dragon Tribe demonic beast not too far away …"
It couldn't be so coincidental, right?
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan followed the aura and saw a Silver-winged Azure Serpent hiding in a tree, resting with its eyes closed.
"There's really a Dragon Tribe here?"
The Great Demon of Bliss blinked his eyes in delight.
It was just as he was about to look for dragon meat to eat, one popped out of nowhere.
It seems like the heavens also wish for me to subdue the three demonic beasts. I am indeed the Son of Destiny!
"If it was in the past, I would have been able to kill a Divinity realm Azure Serpent with a single gaze … However, I haven't recovered from my injuries yet, so I should be careful!"
With a slight sway, Zhang Xuan morphed into a ball of demonic aura and silently appeared behind the Silver-winged Azure Serpent.
"Hmm?"
The sleeping Silver-winged Azure Serpent suddenly felt its heart throbbing. Just as it was about to turn its head, it saw a massive fist descending from the sky. Demonic aura surged toward it, shrouding it.
"Who are you?"
Flapping its wings, the Silver-winged Azure Serpent tried to flee, only to find that its surroundings had been sealed.
"No …"
With a cry of agony, the Silver-winged Azure Serpent saw the fist landing on its body, and its heart jolted violently from the impact.
Peng!
The tamed beast of the Wind Lightning Sect, a Divinity realm 1-dan Silver-winged Azure Serpent, fell from the tree and breathed its last breath.
Even though The Great Demon of Bliss was still far from fully recovered, killing a Divinity realm 1-dan Divinity realm cultivator was still a walk in the park.
"It's done!"
With a gleeful smile, The Great Demon of Bliss stowed the corpse of the Silver-winged Azure Serpent into his storage ring before flying back to where he came from.
He thought that it would take him quite a bit of effort to find the Silver-winged Azure Serpent, but who could have thought that he would be able to find one in just ten minutes? His luck was truly unparalleled!
Now that he had prepared the delicacy, all that was left was to find a way to gift it to the three demonic beasts so as to earn their goodwill!
Just that … it wouldn't be easy. After all, the three demonic beasts thought that he was dead. If he were to appear once more, it would bring him unnecessary trouble.
But if he were to just deliver the food to them, who would know that he was the one who delivered it?
He had to leave his name behind when doing good deeds. Otherwise, how could the Three Beasts express their gratitude and submit to him?
"Those three fellows don't seem to be too smart. It should be easy to fool them …"
Since he would have to face them sooner or later, he might as well get rid of them while he still had the delicacy.
Not too long later, Zhang Xuan returned to the residence and found the three demonic beasts.
They were still huddled together, whispering to each other about food and drinks, looking quite silly.
If he, The Great Demon of Bliss, couldn't be fooled by their intelligence, he would have wasted his several thousand years of life.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan struck a suave pose and teleported right in front of the three demonic beasts. He placed the corpse of the Silver-winged Azure Serpent on the ground.
"It's me. I have good food for you. As long as you listen to me …"
With his hands behind his back, The Great Demon revealed a sincere smile.
As an expert who had dominated the world, the Demon King whom countless people would tremble in fear at the mere mention of his name, the three demonic beasts would surely be touched by his kindness!
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over and saw the three demonic beasts staring at him with their eyes widened in disbelief.
"As expected, they have been stunned by my stunning entrance …"
The Great Demon of Bliss was satisfied. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a horrified voice sounded once more, "Ghost! Don't come over! I'm scared … "
Boom!
Following which, The Great Demon of Bliss saw a massive donkey hoof descending like a mountain.
"The heck! Let me explain … "
The Great Demon of Bliss felt his hair standing on end.
Again?
Give me a chance to explain myself. I don't mean any harm … Don't come over! If you do, I'll scream!
Peng!
Before The Great Demon of Bliss could even scream, he was already smashed to the ground, and his body was reduced to a meat patty once more.
In his hazy consciousness, Donkey's anxious voice sounded once more.
"Side Kick, Whirlwind Kick, Tornado Kick, Roaring Kick, Whirlwind Kick!"
"Donkey Rolling, Ferocious Donkey Crossing the River, Universe Donkey Hoof …"
"That doesn't seem to be enough. Bring me a torch and burn him to ashes!"
"…"
The Great Demon of Bliss lost consciousness once more.
I'm here to tame you …
Give me a chance!
You can't do this!
(I'm begging for your recommendation, collection, reward, and anything to make a name for myself. This is the greatest motivation for a newcomer to persevere. Thank you!!!)
