Chapter 269: The White-Feathered Demon Emperor
Chapter 269: The White-Feathered Demon Emperor
The wind rustled through the bamboo forest, creating a serene and gentle atmosphere, like a calm and peaceful sea.
However, right before this refreshing scene, three headless corpses lay sprawled out, their torn and tattered bodies impaled with sharp bamboo shoots.
Their bodies were hollow, as if their Dao infants had already been taken away by someone.
A Primordial Sage, a powerful master of the Primordial Realm, had died under these seemingly ordinary green bamboo shoots. It was utterly absurd.
Zhang Mingyang stood with his hands behind his back, his black and white robe gently fluttering in the wind.
However, the smile he had worn outside was now gone from his face.
His eyes were cold and sunken, causing those around him to shudder.
The Xuan Guang Dong disciple standing beside him saw his master's expression and, in his panic, could only vent his anger towards the others, "Useless fools! I gave you the route map, and yet there's still no progress. What are you all eating for!"
In front of the bamboo forest, two Primordial Sages held jade slips in their hands, their eyes bloodshot.
What route map! There were over seventy different variations, all based on mere guesses. What use is this nonsense! The previous three had tried over twenty incorrect routes.
To survive, these two had to find the possible path to life among the remaining routes, a path that might not even exist.
But they could only advance, not retreat.
Because there might still be a way out in the bamboo forest ahead, but retreating would surely mean certain death.
A reckless Transcendent Deity was far more terrifying than this bamboo forest.
"Where's Chen Zhong? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Zhang Mingyang finally spoke, his voice as cold as primordial ice.
He had had enough of these useless people. Not only were their cultivation levels low, but they also lacked any experience in breaking formations, wasting his time completely.
Compared to the well-trained Da Qian Sages, they were extremely disappointing.
"Master, he probably hid himself."
The Xuan Guang Dong disciple whispered, "He fled at the critical moment. Once we get out, we'll teach him a lesson."
"Do I need you to tell me that?"
Zhang Mingyang glanced at him, and the disciple quickly lowered his head, "Disciple dares not!"
Although they were from the same sect, there was no camaraderie between a Transcendent Deity and a Primordial Sage. The former had already transcended the mortal realm and become a heavenly creation.
In his eyes, there might be no difference between himself and the other Primordial Sages.
"You good-for-nothing!"
Zhang Mingyang glanced behind him, his eyes filled with a hint of murderous intent.
Just then, the two Primordial Sages noticed his distracted gaze and exchanged a glance, determination flashing in their eyes.
Rather than being forced to their deaths, they might as well try to escape now.
They split up, each running in opposite directions, leaving their fate to the heavens.
Without a word, the two Sages' bodies glowed with brilliance, and they fled in different directions, one to the north and the other to the south!
Their low cultivation levels were relative to the Xuan Guang Dong.
Outside, two Primordial Novices would be considered formidable enough to awe an entire region. Now, as they fled with all their might, they disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.
"Huh?"
The Xuan Guang Dong disciple was slightly taken aback but then looked at them with a hint of ridicule.
Escape from a Transcendent Deity?
They must have been scared out of their wits.
Indeed, Zhang Mingyang didn't even lift an eyelid. With a casual wave of his sleeve, the world's energy instantly surged into chaos.
In the next moment, the two figures were simultaneously smashed back.
Their wounds varied, but the Dao infants exposed on their bodies were already covered in cracks.
The light in their eyes quickly dimmed, and they seemed to be on the brink of death.
"This..."
The disciple didn't know why his master had suddenly taken such drastic action, but he still respectfully flattered, "As expected of Master Zhang, your cultivation has greatly improved..."
Zhang Mingyang's face turned cold, and he slowly lowered his hand, glancing at the disciple, "Shut up.
"This doesn't seem to be his style."
As if to verify his words, in the blink of an eye, two figures appeared from the front and back, neither in a hurry nor slow.
When the disciples saw the newcomers' appearance, they instantly fell silent, their backs already soaked with cold sweat.
Far away, in the forest.
The black-robed youth stood with his hands by his sides, and a hint of strangeness flashed through his clear eyes.
Behind him, A Qing's hand holding the array disk trembled slightly, "This is..."
Before he could finish, Chen Zhong beside him vigorously waved his hand to signal the other not to speak.
The old man forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, striving to maintain his composure.
He was the Great Qian Inspector, and had fought countless demons and monsters alongside the Mystic Glow Cave, but the snowy figure before him still caused his heart to race uncontrollably.
Aside from its snowy white feathers, it looked like an ordinary crane.
It was not even as tall as a person.
Its two slender, long legs walked elegantly, causing Zhang Mingyang to subconsciously take half a step back.
In comparison, the burly wild boar demon on the other side seemed rather unremarkable.
"The forty-second cave, the White Feather Demon Sovereign."
Chen Zhong used the telepathic secret technique and then looked at Shen Yi.
The Thousand Demon Cavern, as the undisputed overlord of this area, was still holding the upper hand against the combined forces of Wutong Mountain, Mystic Glow Cave, and the Great Qian Temple.
The White Feather Demon Sovereign was ranked forty-second among them.
He was already among the top-tier experts.
A Qing hurriedly searched through the storage artifact and took out three pebble-like objects with intricate mystic arrays carved on them.
He stuffed the items into the hands of the two.
"Can the people from Mystic Glow Cave defeat this Demon Sovereign?"
These pebbles seemed similar to the silver bells but emitted no aura fluctuations.
"What can they defeat..."
Chen Zhong helplessly glanced at A Qing. When did the Xu family produce such a pure-hearted junior?
Every time he took out something, anyone with some knowledge could instantly recognize his background.
His own Great Qian background was still acceptable.
As for the Heaven's Pride Senior in front, who knew what kind of background he had? If he had the slightest suspicion, it could cause great trouble for the Xu family!
He sighed, "Although Zhang Mingyang is strong, he's not considered top-notch in the Spirit Transformation Realm. At least, he's half a level below the White Feather Demon Sovereign. If he can escape with his life, that's already a good outcome."
Indeed, it was just as he had expected.
This time, the Thousand Demon Cavern had come specifically for the Mystic Glow Cave.
"Senior, let's leave first!"
Although he dared not offend Shen Yi, with things having come this far, he couldn't help but speak up as a reminder.
"Let's watch a little longer."
Shen Yi quietly observed the scene ahead.
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately showed astonishment on their faces.
Could this... be considered watching the spectacle?
As they spoke, the white crane had already reached Zhang Mingyang's front.
It maintained a leisurely demeanor from start to finish.
However, Zhang Mingyang showed no intention of turning and fleeing. His expression was similar to that of the previous two Primordial Sages.
Turning around would mean losing the initiative.
And the consequence of losing the initiative was none other than perishing here.
"Are you surprised to see me, Your Majesty?"
The White Feather Demon Sovereign finally stopped, a hint of laughter in his voice, "Is it delicious?"
"What?" Zhang Mingyang looked at him coldly.
"I'm asking you, are the Demon Kings under my brother's command tasty?" The White Feather Demon Sovereign spread his wings.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Zhang Mingyang slightly lowered his gaze, "I entered the Eight Directions Dining Hall and didn't eat anything... If you're referring to Nie Jun, I was on the third floor, while he was on the ninth floor, and we didn't meet. If you want to take revenge for your brother, you should go find him."
