The Ten Thousand Great Mountains, Southern Border.
The former site of the Great River Sect.
As a burst of brilliant radiance flashed, the formation in the ruins instantly dissipated, and a massive fissure about several zhang wide appeared on the originally flat ground.
A group of grey-robed figures stood at the edge of the fissure, peering inside, only to see pitch blackness, bottomless.
“It matches what Elder Witch said. This must indeed be the Hidden Dragon Abyss where Lord Witch Demon Dragon was sealed back then.”
The leading grey-robed figure spoke indifferently, then ordered, “Prepare!”
Two of the grey-robed figures nodded, stepped out from the crowd, and continuously formed hand seals. Finally, they pressed their hands onto the ground simultaneously.
The next moment, the earth shook with a rumbling sound, and the two grey-robed figures’ bodies suddenly grew taller.
Two black coffins appeared beneath their feet, emerging from the earth until fully revealed, then their actions ceased.
The two grey-robed figures sitting cross-legged on the black coffins exchanged a glance, then bit their pale fingers at the same time.
As two drops of scarlet blood fell onto the black coffins, golden rune patterns immediately emerged on the coffin surfaces, like golden chains binding the entire coffins.
“Open!”
The two grey-robed figures on the coffins simultaneously cast spell seals, striking the coffins. The golden chains immediately shattered inch by inch, finally vanishing without a trace.
“Bang! Bang!”
As the golden chains disappeared, the tightly closed coffin lids instantly exploded outwards.
Two bloodless youths appeared inside the coffins, as if asleep, completely still.
Seeing this, the grey-robed leader also began forming hand seals with both hands. His grey robe moved without wind, and wisps of blood energy power emerged on his body. With a point of his finger, those blood energies flew towards the two black coffins, entering the bodies of the two youths inside.
Buzz!
The next moment, the two youths opened their eyes simultaneously!
A flash of blood colour in their eyes vanished instantly, returning to normal.
“Take these two substitute bodies and follow me to Hidden Dragon Abyss!”
“It is time for Lord Witch Demon Dragon to emerge!”
“Yes!”
The group of grey-robed cultivators responded in unison, then, carrying the two youths, jumped with the grey-robed leader into the bottomless Hidden Dragon Abyss.
After an unknown period, when the group of grey-robed cultivators reached the sealing site at the deepest part of Hidden Dragon Abyss, what they saw was an enormous dragon skeleton!
The entire skeleton was snow-white, lying in a vast cavern, over a hundred zhang long!
Though merely a skeleton, it filled the group of grey-robed cultivators with awe.
But when their gazes turned to the massive dragon skull, they immediately lost composure.
A handsome black-robed man with a somewhat demonic charm was sitting cross-legged on the mountain-like dragon skull, calmly staring at them.
“Who are you?”
The grey-robed leader immediately sensed something amiss. The pupils hidden under his hood emitted a ghastly green light.
“Who am I?”
The black-robed man was slightly taken aback, raised his hand to smooth the dishevelled hair on his forehead, thought for a moment, and said, “I am Qin Changsheng, the personal disciple of Great River Academy!”
After speaking, Qin Changsheng looked at these grey-robed cultivators, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked, “And who are you lot of rats?”
“Insolent!”
Hearing Qin Changsheng call them rats, one grey-robed figure immediately growled.
“What, did Qin say something wrong?”
Qin Changsheng smiled and said, “You all hide yourselves under those oversized hoods, not even daring to show your faces, and your bodies exude a decaying aura. Are you not exactly rats that gnaw on corpses?”
As he spoke, Qin Changsheng looked at the only two youths in the crowd whose faces were exposed, his eyes immediately focusing.
Such rich blood energy power!
“A mere human cultivator dares to be so arrogant. This seat will capture you and turn you into a puppet!”
The grey-robed cultivator let out a cold laugh, blood energy rolling around his body, directly projecting a blood-coloured misty glow above his head. He stomped the ground fiercely with bare feet, his entire person instantly turning into a sharp arrow shooting towards Qin Changsheng on the dragon skull.
The grey-robed leader did not stop him, but stood with hands behind his back, quietly watching the scene.
However, the next moment his pupils contracted sharply!
The grey-robed cultivator had just flown to within a zhang of Qin Changsheng when his body suddenly trembled, freezing in mid-air.
A blood-coloured bone spike pierced through the grey-robed cultivator’s chest, protruding from his back.
“Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, yet physical strength comparable to Core Formation stage. I think I know who you are.”
Qin Changsheng spoke softly. At this moment, he pointed with one finger, killing the aggressively approaching grey-robed cultivator with just his index finger.
“Wu Mu!!”
Seeing the grey-robed cultivator instantly killed, the group of grey-robed cultivators below shouted in shock and anger.
Many cultivators intended to charge forward.
This time, however, they were stopped by the grey-robed leader raising his hand.
“Who exactly are you, sir?”
“Where is Lord Witch Demon Dragon?”
The grey-robed cultivator’s voice was slightly hoarse, the green light under his hood flickering faintly.
“I said it already. I am Qin Changsheng, the sole personal disciple of Great River Academy!”
Qin Changsheng’s lips curved into an arc, then he exhaled a breath, instantly forming a terrifying gust that blew off the grey hood of the cultivator in front of him, revealing a somewhat ferocious face.
It was called ferocious because this Wu Mu’s face was extremely ugly and frightening, almost rotted away, even exposing the white bones beneath.
“No wonder there is a rotting stench. So you really crawled out from a grave?”
Qin Changsheng frowned slightly, then shook his index finger fiercely. The Wu Mu’s corpse in front of him instantly exploded, yet not a speck touched Qin Changsheng’s body.
Then he stood up from the dragon skull, looking down at the group of grey-robed cultivators below, and said calmly, “You were sent by the Witch Clan, right?”
“Or rather, you are Witch Clan cultivators?”
The leading grey-robed cultivator trembled all over, as if realising something, and exclaimed, “You are Lord Witch Demon Dragon?”
“No, that old thing died long ago. But I obtained his inheritance. Strictly speaking, you should address me as Lord as well!”
Qin Changsheng’s lips curled slightly, and with one step, he vanished from the spot.
Boom! Boom!
The next moment, the two youths protected by the group of grey-robed cultivators instantly exploded into two clouds of blood mist.
Qin Changsheng opened his mouth and inhaled, all the blood mist entering his mouth, making him close his eyes in enjoyment, grinning as he said, “Truly delicious blood energy power. It has been a long time since Qin felt this comfortable!”
As he spoke, his body flickered, appearing in front of the grey-robed leader. With a reach, he grasped the leader’s neck, smiling faintly as he said, “Among you, your cultivation is the highest, and naturally your blood energy is the richest, comparable to the vast blood energy of a late Core Formation cultivator. Swallowing it will surely elevate this seat’s power another level.”
“Lo… Lord, please show mercy!”
“We came here on Elder Witch’s orders to rescue Lord Witch Demon Dragon, break the seal, and grant him a great fortune.
Since Lord Witch Demon Dragon is already dead, Lord, you can also…”
The Witch cultivator leader begged for mercy while explaining the purpose of their trip.
Great fortune?
Qin Changsheng’s eyes flashed, immediately showing some interest.
…
Deep in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, in a valley, dozens of great demons were gathered.
Deep in the valley was a formation, an ancient great teleportation array left from prehistoric times.
Not far from the formation, a handsome youth in purple robes suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards the flashing great teleportation array.
The next moment, a demonic cultivator appeared within the array, immediately attracting the attention of many great demons in the valley.
The demonic cultivator steadied himself, swept his gaze around, and finally walked quickly towards the handsome youth.
“Reporting to the ancestor, inside I heard news about that toad demon Laibao!”
The demonic cultivator spoke respectfully, recounting Mo Fan’s wanted information in detail.
“Great!”
“Who would have thought that damned toad finally appeared right under our noses!”
“That Dragon Ruins is extremely chaotic and an independent space. Ancestor, this is a perfect opportunity for us to act!”
“Yes, ancestor, let us go in and exterminate that ignorant toad demon!”
Beside the handsome youth, several great demons all became excited.
They had long hated Mo Fan to the bone, but due to Fire Phoenix Holy King’s rules, they had never dared to act.
Now, for them, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
“Indeed a good opportunity.”
The handsome youth also smiled, though the smile was very cold. He then stood up and said indifferently, “This time, this ancestor will personally take action!”
“I want to see if that Bai Xiaosu is still in this world!
And whether she can still protect this toad!!”
