Chapter 634: News of the Dao Monarch (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Qin Longzi felt a pang of regret, then instantly transformed into a streak of fire, vanishing a hundred miles away in an instant.
After flying several thousand miles, his brows furrowed, as if remembering some difficult, indecisive matter.
Suddenly!
A giant net suddenly appeared in the void, completely silver, instantly expanding to a thousand zhang wide and descending directly!
A shiver ran down Qin Longzi's spine. Just as he was about to cast a spell to evade, streaks of chains abruptly materialized around him.
These chains, like venomous snakes extending from the void, pierced directly into his limbs and bones.
As the great net fell, Qin Longzi, rigid with shock, suddenly transformed into a ball of essence blood.
Several thousand zhang away, Qin Longzi's figure flickered out of the void, his expression drastically changing: "Who dares to trouble my Dragon Taming Sect?"
The spirit beast pouch opened, and a red light burst forth, abruptly transforming into a thousand-zhang long Crimson-Blood Flood Dragon!
This flood dragon had two horns on its head, was entirely crimson, and clawed fiercely. Its cultivation had astonishingly reached the fifth-order low-grade level.
Most Divine Transformation cultivators of the Dragon Taming Sect possessed a fifth-order dragon beast. Although Qin Longzi was merely at the early Divine Transformation stage, he believed he had nothing to fear from mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivators.
Even late-stage Divine Transformation cultivators might not be able to apprehend him, and he had a very high chance of escaping successfully.
But at this moment, Qin Longzi's heart sank.
After all, he hadn't even seen his enemy's face, yet he was forced to employ a life-saving secret art. He knew well that this opponent was absolutely extraordinary.
At this moment, he formed a hand seal, and a fiery red small sword shot out from his mouth.
Whirling!
Within a thousand-mile radius, specks of fiery red light appeared between heaven and earth, gathering like fireflies to form streams of Fire Element Divine Light!
"Heh heh. . . mere parlor tricks, seeking to make a fool of yourself."
A soft chuckle resounded, and the elemental qi of heaven and earth within ten thousand miles suddenly surged. The myriad streaks of Fire Element Divine Light trembled in the void, then vanished without a trace.
"Manipulating the elemental qi of heaven and earth. . . a Void Amalgamation cultivator? !"
Qin Longzi now confirmed the enemy's cultivation level, his heart sinking further. A purple jade talisman appeared in his hand, and he leaped onto the Crimson-Blood Flood Dragon: "Go!"
The Crimson-Blood Flood Dragon shook its head and tail, transforming into a thousand-zhang red rainbow, about to fly out of the encirclement.
Crack!
A golden great blade, hundreds of zhang long, materialized in mid-air and slashed down fiercely.
The Crimson-Blood Flood Dragon seemed to sense something amiss, opening its dragon maw to spew out a colossal crimson Inner Core.
This Inner Core was entirely crimson, and the moment it appeared, it automatically absorbed the surrounding fire spiritual energy, transforming into countless streaks of Fire Element Divine Radiance.
Thousands of fiery needles shot out in all directions, as if exploding.
Clang, clang, clang!
The fiery bristles struck the golden great blade, yet failed to leave even the slightest mark.
With a flash of the blade, the Crimson-Blood Flood Dragon's Inner Core was even split in two!
Not only that, but behind the great blade, a bound golden flood dragon materialized, letting out a mournful wail, with two streams of bloody tears flowing from its dragon eyes.
"Dragon-Slaying Blade? !"
Qin Longzi's heart went hollow as he recognized this famed dragon-slaying treasure blade. The purple jade talisman in his hand flew out, unleashing a burst of spiritual light across the sky, and countless talismans transformed into massive purple bees, attempting to briefly obstruct the attack.
Alas, this golden great blade was utterly unrestrained. With a flash of golden light on its surface, the myriad purple giant bees directly dissipated.
Its momentum undiminished, it landed on the Crimson-Blood Flood Dragon.
Roar! Roar!
A painful dragon's roar echoed through the void.
The Crimson-Blood Flood Dragon was cleaved in two, its dragon blood splattering across the sky!
A flash of crimson light!
Qin Longzi's escape light reappeared several thousand zhang away. Just as he was about to employ some secret art, a violent purple gale suddenly swept around him, sending sand and stones flying.
His very own Life-Bound Spirit Sword was actually sucked into this purple hurricane, and then he lost all mental connection to it.
Witnessing this scene, Qin Longzi's face finally showed an expression of despair. . .
A moment later. . .
Thud!
Qin Longzi was bound hand and foot, covered in talismans, lying on the ground with his eyes tightly shut, seemingly unconscious.
And accompanied by chanting, a crimson flood dragon spirit was forcefully pulled out of the Crimson-Blood Flood Dragon's body and flew into a dark green small bottle.
An aged hand stoppered the bottle, revealing a satisfied expression on its owner's face.
The owner of this hand was an aged cultivator, clad in red robes, with a large head and three topknots tied on it.
Behind him, three long swords were similarly sheathed, creating a complementary effect with his topknots.
Facing this cultivator, another figure stood, dressed in silver robes with ordinary features, none other than the famed rogue cultivator of the Starry Sky Domain—Zi Feng Lingjun.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jiang. I didn't expect the Starry Sky Sect to dispatch you this time. . . "
Zi Feng Lingjun said with a smiling bow.
"Heh heh. . . this old man's bones are no longer useful. In the future, this cultivation world will belong to you young people. Even dealing with Qin Longzi today almost ended in a reversal; in the end, it still relied on you, Zi Feng, to turn the tide and capture this person."
The cultivator surnamed Jiang stroked his beard, speaking with a faint smile that wasn't quite a smile.
"With Fellow Daoist's late-stage Void Amalgamation cultivation, how could Qin Longzi possibly escape. . ."
Zi Feng Lingjun waved his hands repeatedly: "I merely happened to be here and casually made a move. . ."
After a few humble exchanges, Zi Feng Lingjun looked at Qin Longzi, whose fate was unknown, and his expression turned solemn: "Finally. . . has the decision to act been made?"
"Naturally. . . judging from your last message, the Dragon Taming Sect has long since become the Dragon Control Sect. The Sect Master instructed this old man to handle this matter, and the key is to have irrefutable evidence, so as not to cause panic among the nearby sects, and to stabilize the territory under our rule. . . doesn't this all rely on your Profound Nether Commerce Guild to mediate?"
The cultivator surnamed Jiang smiled and said.
"Alas. . . who could have expected that Void Amalgamation old dragon to be so rebellious, even gaining its freedom shortly after the Dragon Taming Sect's Ancestor died, yet forcibly enduring and even contacting the Yao race. . ."
Zi Feng Lingjun sighed.
The Dragon Taming Sect's spirit beasts running rampant wasn't actually a major issue.
But if it involved the Yao race, the problem became enormous.
This was also one of the reasons why the Starry Sky Sect had delayed action and continuously dispatched more personnel.
"Hmph. . . that Dragon Taming Sect Ancestor harbored a tiger that became a menace. It's even possible that he had already lost control of this old dragon and was refined into a human pet by it, intending to plant a spy within our human race from the very beginning."
The cultivator surnamed Jiang snorted coldly: "Killing that old dragon now is relatively simple, but if we can follow its intelligence transmission patterns and unearth a secret Yao race intelligence line. . . or even transmit false information to the Yao race to gain an advantage for our human race, that would be even better. That is why this old man personally came. . ."
With his late-stage Void Amalgamation strength, coupled with a Void Amalgamation treasure specifically designed to counter flood dragons, that mid-stage Void Amalgamation old dragon was certainly no match.
Zi Feng Lingjun immediately looked thoughtful: "These past years, through the Profound Nether Commerce Guild, I have dealt with numerous forces under the Dragon Taming Sect. . . I know a thing or two about their background, and there are a few other suspicious parties. The rest are not highly suspect. Once the Dragon Taming Sect is exterminated, they might be brought in as aid to stabilize the situation here. . ."
The Starry Sky Sect had been infiltrating for years through the Profound Nether Commerce Guild and Zi Feng Lingjun, and now they were ready to make their move.
The cultivator surnamed Jiang also acted with swift decisiveness, immediately apprehending a Divine Transformation elder from the Dragon Taming Sect upon his arrival, preparing to soul-search him for relevant secrets.
"Indeed, this matter was successfully handled thanks to the Profound Nether Commerce Guild's mediation. . . the Sect Master will surely bestow generous rewards."
The cultivator surnamed Jiang said with a beaming smile.
Cultivators in the Starry Sky Domain only knew Zi Feng Lingjun as a rogue cultivator, unaware of his origins with the Profound Nether Commerce Guild, and that the Profound Nether Commerce Guild was secretly supported by the Starry Sky Sect.
Otherwise, how could a mere rogue cultivator continuously break through various bottlenecks such as Divine Transformation and Void Amalgamation?
It's a pity that many rogue cultivators still considered Zi Feng Lingjun their goal, unaware of the deep schemes behind it all. . .
"It's all for the sect. . ."
Zi Feng Lingjun replied with a smile: "Right. . . how is that 'Star-patterned Sacred Body' disciple within the sect now?"
"That Sacred Body disciple is truly extraordinary. . . within a hundred days of joining the sect, he achieved Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment on his own, and later, with irresistible momentum, broke through to Core Formation. . . The Sect Master was even alarmed, specifically came out of seclusion, took him as a disciple, and meticulously nurtured him. . . Our sect's 'Great Circulatory Star Cultivation Art' finally has an heir."
The cultivator surnamed Jiang spoke of this Sacred Body disciple with unreserved praise.
He knew his own situation; his cultivation to late-stage Void Amalgamation had already exhausted his potential in this life. Without an immense fortuitous encounter, there was no hope of reaching the Integration realm.
And while this Sacred Body disciple's cultivation was still shallow now, he would transform into a dragon upon encountering a storm in the future. Even achieving Integration held great hope for him, and his status within the Starry Sky Sect would gradually surpass his own. He was subtly regarded as the Young Sect Master, and perhaps in the future, he would become a renowned figure of the human race!
"So that's how it is. Then I can rest assured. With such a brilliant talent joining the Starry Sky Sect, how could it not prosper?"
Zi Feng Lingjun chuckled.
"In the Earthly Immortal World, geniuses are like carp crossing a river. That disciple, compared to the most outstanding among them, is still a bit lacking. . ."
Although the cultivator surnamed Jiang felt inwardly proud, his words were very humble: "For instance, in the 'Sword Pavilion' of the Sword Domain, it's rumored that a new 'Sword Wielder' has emerged. The moment he entered, he caused the fragmented sword, an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure and the sect's guardian treasure, to resonate. . . there's a strong possibility he will wield this treasure in the future."
"Also, the Yan Yu Sect recently accepted a genius disciple with the 'Great Sun Fire Body'. . ."
"And among the ascended cultivators, there are even more outstanding talents. . . you might not know this, but the Three Realms Mountain has been quite lively recently."
The cultivator surnamed Jiang suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"Oh? Has something happened with the Demon race or the Yao race?"
A hint of interest appeared on Zi Feng Lingjun's face.
"Hmm. . . it's on the Demon race's territory. A fellow human ascended cultivator somehow ascended together with a Perfected Divine Transformation demon venerable. . ."
The cultivator surnamed Jiang chuckled: "He was quite unlucky, apparently carried along to ascend into the Demon race's territory. It's said he was immediately pursued, but he fought his way through, escaping with his life. He roamed among the Demon race, and his cultivation realm advanced rapidly. It's said that a hundred years ago, with just Divine Transformation cultivation, he could already contend with Void Amalgamation cultivators. . . In the past few decades, he even directly breached the Three Realms Mountain's defenses and returned to the human race. He's also rumored to have stolen many good things from the Demon race, infuriating those demon venerables, and there's even a Demon King who has vowed to take his life. . ."
"May I ask this talent's name? Such an ascended cultivator, forged in battle, is sure to make a name for himself in the Earthly Immortal World. " Zi Feng Lingjun exclaimed with emotion.
"He calls himself. . . Fang Xian Dao Monarch!"
