Chapter 269: The White-Feathered Demon Emperor
Chapter 269: The White-Feathered Demon Emperor
The wind howled through the bamboo forest, creating a serene and rippling scene, like a gentle sea of green. However, amidst this picturesque setting, lay three corpses, their battered bodies impaled with sharp bamboo stalks. Their inner cores were empty, as if their dao infants had been taken.
It was absurd that these esteemed Hybrid Origin Realm experts lay dead amidst the seemingly ordinary green bamboo.
Zhang Mingyang stood with his hands behind his back, his black and white robe billowing slightly. However, the smile he had worn earlier was now gone, replaced by a pair of gloomy eyes that sent shivers down the spines of those around him.
The Xuan Guang Cave disciple standing beside him saw his master's expression and, in his panic, could only redirect his anger towards others. "You bunch of useless fools! I gave you the route map, and yet there's still no progress. What are you good for?"
In front of the bamboo forest stood two Hybrid Origin Realm experts from the Hunyuan Sect, their eyes bloodshot as they clutched jade slips.
What route map?! There were over seventy different variations, all based on mere guesses. What use was this?! The previous three had already tried over twenty wrong paths.
These two had to find the path to survival from the remaining options, a path that might not even exist. They could only move forward, not retreat.
Because while there might still be a chance of survival in the bamboo forest ahead, turning back meant certain death.
A reckless Transcendence Realm expert was far more terrifying than this bamboo forest.
"Where's Chen Zhong? Why isn't he here yet?"
Zhang Mingyang finally spoke, his voice as cold as ice. He had had enough of these useless people. Not only were their cultivation levels low, but they also lacked experience in breaking formations, wasting everyone's time. Compared to the well-trained experts from the Great Qian Sect, they were extremely disappointing.
"Master, he must be hiding," the Xuan Guang Cave disciple replied in a low voice. "He fled in the face of danger. When we get out, we'll teach him a lesson."
"Do you think I need your advice?" Zhang Mingyang glanced at him, and the disciple quickly lowered his head. "Disciple dares not."
Even though they were from the same sect, there was no bond between a Transcendence Realm expert and a Hybrid Origin Realm cultivator. The former had completely transcended the mortal world and become a heavenly creation.
In their eyes, there might be no difference between himself and the other Hybrid Origin Realm experts.
"You good-for-nothing!" Zhang Mingyang glanced back, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Just then, the two Hybrid Origin Realm experts from the Hunyuan Sect sensed his distraction and exchanged a determined glance. Rather than be forced to their deaths, they decided to take their chances and escape.
Without a word, they split up and fled in opposite directions, leaving their fate to chance.
Their cultivation levels were low compared to those of the Xuan Guang Cave. However, outside this place, two initial-stage Hybrid Origin Realm experts would be considered powerful enough to shake the world. As they fled with all their might, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Huh?"
The Xuan Guang Cave disciple was slightly taken aback but then scoffed.
Who would dare flee from a Transcendence Realm expert?
They must have been scared out of their wits.
Indeed, Zhang Mingyang didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He merely flicked his sleeves, and the energies of the world instantly surged.
The next moment, the two fleeing figures were smashed back, their bodies landing not far away. Their injuries were different, but their exposed dao infants were both cracked.
The light in their eyes quickly dimmed as they lost their lives.
"This..."
The disciple didn't understand why his master had suddenly killed them, but he still flattered, "As expected of Master Zhang, your cultivation has greatly improved..."
Zhang Mingyang's face was cold as he slowly lowered his palm and glanced at the disciple. "Shut up."
When the disciples saw the newcomers, they fell silent, their backs drenched in cold sweat.
Far in the distance, amidst the forest...
The youth in black stood with his hands behind his back, a fleeting trace of strangeness passing through his clear eyes.
Behind him, Ah Qing's hand, which was holding the array plate, trembled slightly. "This is..."
Before he could finish, Chen Zhong beside him vigorously waved his hand!
Signaling for him to be quiet.
The old man forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart and struggled to maintain his composure.
He was the Great Qian Inspection Envoy and had fought countless demons and monsters alongside Xuan Guang Cave, but the snow-white figure before him still caused his heart to pound uncontrollably.
Aside from its snow-white feathers, it looked like an ordinary crane.
It was less than one person tall.
Its two slender, long legs took elegant strides forward, causing Zhang Mingyang to unconsciously take half a step back.
In comparison, the wild boar demon on the other side seemed rather inconspicuous.
"The Forty-Second Grotto, the White-Feathered Demon Emperor."
Chen Zhong used the Secret Art of Transmission and then glanced at Shen Yi.
As the undisputed overlord of this place, the Thousand Demon Caves simultaneously resisted the forces of Wutong Mountain, Xuan Guang Cave, and the Great Qian Martial Temple, and yet they still held the upper hand.
For the White-Feathered Demon Emperor to be ranked forty-second among them...
He was already among the top batch of powerful beings.
Ah Qing hurriedly searched through the storage treasure artifacts and then took out three goose egg-like objects, on which were engraved profound mystical arrays.
He handed the items to the two of them.
"Can the people from Xuan Guang Cave match up to this demon emperor?"
These goose eggs seemed similar to the silver bells, but they didn't emit any aura fluctuations.
"Match up to what?..."
Chen Zhong glanced helplessly at Ah Qing. When did the Xu family produce such a pure and innocent junior?
Anyone with a bit of knowledge would be able to recognize his background just by looking at the items he took out.
His own identity as a member of the Great Qian was still passable.
As for that peerless senior at the front, who knew what his background was? If he had a bit of cunning, he could cause great trouble for the Xu family!
Chen Zhong sighed, "Although Zhang Mingyang is strong, he is not top-notch in the Transformation Realm. He's at least half a tier weaker than the White-Feathered Demon Emperor. If he can escape with his life, that would be good enough."
It was just as he had expected.
This time, the Thousand Demon Caves were indeed targeting Xuan Guang Cave.
"Senior, let's go first!"
Although he dared not offend Shen Yi, the situation had already come to this point, and he couldn't help but remind him.
"Let's watch some more."
Shen Yi quietly watched the scene unfold.
Upon hearing this, the two of them were immediately astonished.
Was this...also considered watching the spectacle?
As the group was talking, the white crane had already walked up to Zhang Mingyang.
From start to finish, it maintained a leisurely demeanor.
However, Zhang Mingyang showed no signs of turning around and fleeing. The expression on his face was similar to that of the previous two Hybrid Origin Realm masters.
Turning around would mean losing the initiative.
And the consequence of losing the initiative was perishing here.
"Are you surprised to see this emperor?"
The White-Feathered Demon Emperor finally stopped, a hint of laughter in his voice. "Are they tasty?"
"What?" Zhang Mingyang coldly glanced over.
"I'm asking you, were the several Demon Kings under my brother's command delicious?" The White-Feathered Demon Emperor flapped his wings.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Zhang Mingyang slightly lowered his gaze. "I entered the Eight Directions Restaurant, but I didn't eat anything... If you're talking about Nie Kun, I was on the third floor, and he was on the ninth floor. We didn't meet, so if you want to take revenge for your brother, you should go find him."
