The unrestrained laughter echoed through the entire cavern and naturally drew everyone’s attention.
At this moment, in the dozen or so battlefields, apart from a few cultivators who were truly locked in fierce combat, all the others simultaneously stopped fighting by tacit agreement. They retreated several steps and looked towards the source of the laughter.
Mo Fan’s expression changed slightly. He then took a deep breath and instantly sucked the whimpering creature in his hand back into his pouch.
“Daddy, let me out! We’ll fight him together!”
Inside the pouch, the whimpering creature could not help speaking up.
“Not yet. He’s looking for you, so you can’t show yourself now. The best time for us to strike will be when that fellow starts fighting these old monsters.
What you need to do right now is adjust your condition properly inside. I might release you at any moment to battle alongside me.”
Mo Fan immediately sent a sound transmission to soothe the whimpering creature.
He was well aware of the terrifying strength of an Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon and knew that he alone was far from being its opponent. But the whimpering creature was different. It belonged to the same type of life form as that Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon, and both could ignore the rule suppression in this place.
The current whimpering creature had already broken through to the mid-King Realm, making it an extremely powerful fighting force.
Unsuppressed by the rules, the strength it could display here was no less than that of some Nascent Soul cultivators, and was perhaps even greater.
However, Mo Fan would not let it appear for the time being. As he had explained, revealing itself now might instead provoke an attack from that Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon.
At the same time, he sacrificed his Soul-Devouring Banner. Ghostly qi spread out to envelop him, and he immediately stepped through the gate of the ghost domain, completely concealing his aura.
Bai Lu watched these small actions but said nothing. Instead, he looked solemnly towards the evil-looking youth who had appeared at the far end of the tunnel.
He could be considered an old monster himself. After the earlier tussle with Mo Fan, he had instantly understood Mo Fan’s plan. Now his face broke into a wide smile as he waved towards the distant figure and called out loudly, “Bai Lu respectfully welcomes His Highness the Chi Dragon Saint King!”
Whoosh.
The moment these words left his mouth, the expressions of many human cultivators changed.
His Highness the Chi Dragon Saint King?
So that fellow was the Chi Dragon Saint King mentioned by the earlier monstrous youth!
Did that mean everything that youth had said earlier was true?
The human cultivators were filled with shock and doubt, while the gathered demon cultivators all frowned at the same moment, racking their brains to recall when Dragon King Sea had produced such a great demon.
Only the three master-and-servants from Dragon King Sea remained cold-faced and said nothing more.
They were each entangled by opponents and had no attention to spare for explanations. Besides, they believed the cultivators here were all clever people who would not be so easily deceived by a few words from Mo Fan.
Let alone these cultivators, even the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon himself was momentarily baffled by Bai Lu’s greeting. Still, he instinctively nodded at Bai Lu and grinned ferociously. “You’re not bad. I happen to need someone who knows the outside world well. I’ll spare your life. After I obtain the immortal treasure, you may follow me!”
Bai Lu’s cheek twitched slightly at these words, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.
Who was he?
The grand ancestor of White Feather Mountain, one of the three great demon ancestors of the Phoenix Cry Demon Domain!
Aside from the Fire Phoenix Saint King, when had anyone dared to speak to him with such disrespect?
Yet very quickly, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and replied with a smile that did not reach his eyes, “Excellent. Bai Lu will cheer for the Chi Dragon Saint King!”
“With His Highness the Chi Dragon Saint King taking action, the immortal treasure here is as good as ours. Those human cultivators are destined to draw water with a bamboo basket, all for nothing!”
From within the ghost domain, Mo Fan watched this scene and could not help feeling somewhat speechless. He cursed inwardly, “This old thing is a real sly fox. He can even stomach this!”
Sure enough, after receiving such lavish flattery from Bai Lu, the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon immediately burst into loud laughter and bared his teeth in a wide grin. “This ancestor quite likes the title Chi Dragon Saint King. From today onward, I am the Chi Dragon Saint King!”
With that, he instantly released an extremely vast divine sense that swept through the entire cavern.
He was not stupid. The immortal treasure was here and would not disappear for the time being, so the most important task now was to drag out those two little things.
However, he was too arrogant and had no idea what releasing his divine sense actually meant.
As expected, the moment his vast divine sense spread out, it immediately met resistance from the divine senses of several powerhouses.
“Fellow cultivators, this demon is immensely powerful and harbours great ambitions. If we do not eliminate him, I fear none of us individually will be his match. Why not join forces for now and deal with this fellow first?”
Someone spoke first. It was the white-haired old cultivator who had saved Xuan Jian.
He was the leader of Tianxuan Holy Land’s group this time and one of the three Nascent Soul ancestors of Tianxuan Holy Land. With mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, he ranked among the top in this cavern.
No one knew his true name, but his Daoist title resounded throughout the entire Divine Domain.
Daoist Qingfeng, that was the white-haired old cultivator’s Daoist title.
There was a saying: With three feet of green edge in my hand, no one in the world can come near me!
From this, one could see just how strong Daoist Qingfeng was.
The moment he spoke, Old Ancestor Huang Xuan from Huangxuan Valley immediately stepped forward, turned into a black shadow, and appeared beside Daoist Qingfeng. He said calmly, “I agree with Brother Qingfeng!”
Then he looked towards the distant evil-looking youth and said in a deep voice, “Since this demon is honoured as a Demon Saint King, his strength must be unmatched among his peers. If we do not join forces, we will only be defeated one by one!”
“Both Dao friends are right. Count me in!”
Situ Yunzhen, the ancestor of Tianlu Holy Land, also flew over. As he looked at the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon, a trace of burning greed flashed in his eyes.
“Since this fellow is a chi dragon, every part of him must be treasure!”
“A mid-Ancestral Realm chi dragon is of immeasurable value. I’m afraid it is not much less than the so-called immortal treasure!”
Sure enough, his words immediately made many people’s eyes light up. Not only the human cultivators, even the demon cultivators now looked at the Ancestral Realm Chi Dragon as if gazing at a living immortal treasure!
The three immortal treasures in the cavern were all sealed with restrictions. Even Ancestral Realm cultivators could not break them quickly. But this chi dragon was different!
This fellow was completely alive, and a legendary dragon species at that. Just as Situ Yunzhen had said, every part of him was treasure!
There was no rush to seize the immortal treasures since haste would achieve nothing, but this chi dragon was another matter.
With so many old monsters joining forces, it seemed this chi dragon was doomed to a tragic end. If they struck together now, they could still get a share of the spoils. If they did nothing, they would not even get a sip of the soup.
“Hahahaha… Situ Yunzhen, you really dare to say anything!”
“This fellow might very well be a Demon Saint King, and you actually want to kill him?”
“But hunting a Demon Saint King does sound thrilling! In that case, count this ancestor in too!”
Another cultivator strode forward. He wore golden armour, and every step caused the earth to tremble. His blood qi soared to the heavens, and his bare arms glowed with an ancient bronze sheen. He looked extremely difficult to provoke.
“So what if he’s a Demon Saint King?”
“Under the rules here, who isn’t suppressed? Even a Demon Saint King only has the cultivation of a Demon General. If the four of us join forces, how could he possibly survive?”
Situ Yunzhen sneered repeatedly, looking at the Chi Dragon Saint King as if gazing at a dead demon…
Seeing this, the gathered cultivators grew excited. One by one, they rubbed their fists and palms, eager to surround and hunt a Demon Saint King.
Only Mo Fan, hidden within the ghost domain, had his cheek twitching at this moment. In his heart he cried out, “Good heavens, these fellows are far too bold!”
