Serpent Ancestor

Xu Hei didn’t let Ji Ying fight. First, to prevent being recognized, and second, to keep a backup plan in case he was exhausted, allowing Ji Ying to carry him away.

Ji Ying’s speed was incredibly fast, and she had learned the Ever-changing Fish and Dragon technique. In some ways, her speed was second only to Xu Hei’s peak performance.

But she was just an insect and had never done any carrying before, which made her very uncomfortable, grumbling incessantly.

Xu Hei ignored her, still savoring the moves he had just executed.

”So this is the Azure Dragon Immortal Spell, Summon Wind?”

Xu Hei looked at the increasingly distant Melodic Sect, his heart filled with shock.

His evaluation was summed up in one word: strong! Incredibly strong!

Instant kills within the same realm, even surpassing realms. Even someone as seasoned as Ye Hai, at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage, could only avoid its edge, losing both legs in the process!

It was overwhelmingly powerful!

But the cost was equally enormous. Xu Hei now didn’t even have the strength to speak, his body felt empty, like a corpse, and he could only let Ji Ying drag him in the predetermined direction.As for Hei Huang, he seemed to still be entangled with a group of elders. Xu Hei had no mind to care anymore; he had done his best, and now it was up to fate.

”Elder Zhou, you wouldn’t want what you did five days ago to be known, would you?”

”Elder Murong, you wouldn’t want your daughter to lose her position, right?”

”And you, the old geezer over there, I warn you not to act recklessly, or I’ll expose your cross-dressing secret!”

Hei Huang spewed nonsense indiscriminately, facing everyone with a barrage of insults, not knowing if they were true or false.

This left the elders both shocked and angry, but when it came to taking action, they hesitated, fearing Hei Huang might say something even more shocking, causing them social death.

However, the crowd’s anger towards Hei Huang had reached its peak, wishing they could skin him and pull out his tendons immediately.

At this moment, Hei Huang sneered coldly, clapped his hands, and said, ”This is exactly the effect I wanted! Heavenly Demon Technique, Second Form: Heavenly Demon Chaos!”

”Boom!!”

A large cloud of black mist spread out like a storm, enveloping everyone nearby. The crowd fell into a brief confusion, and then madness appeared in their eyes.

Heavenly Demon Chaos had a miraculous effect on those with intense emotional fluctuations, and Hei Huang deliberately provoked them.

”Kill!”

With a roar, those covered by the black mist began attacking their companions. Everyone nearby started slaughtering each other, losing their sanity and falling into complete chaos.

Their eyes turned entirely black, as if possessed, with no exceptions.

Only on the Demon Suppression Platform, Lin Miaoyu, who was controlling the formation, remained clear-headed, her eyes filled with disbelief: ”What kind of evil technique is this?”

Many who were far away also had changes in their expressions, relieved that they hadn’t acted rashly, otherwise, they might have suffered heavy casualties.

”This black dog is too sinister!”

”And that young man just now, he’s not to be trifled with either. The Yunhai Sect and Tianshan Sect lost three people directly. Luckily, we didn’t make a move, or it would have been us who died!”

The crowd was filled with lingering fear.

Ye Hai sat on a flying sword, his face extremely gloomy.

He had lost his legs because of getting involved in this matter. Although given time and enough pills, he could regrow them, the damage to his body was immense.

He had suffered a great loss!

In this ambush, the Melodic Sect didn’t suffer much in terms of death and injury. Instead, outsiders were killed by Xu Hei, three dead and one crippled, all at least in the late Core Formation stage, which was truly bizarre.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hei Huang quickly broke through the sect’s protective formation, soared into the sky, and flew into the distance.

Before leaving, he shouted back, ”I’ll spare you this time, but next time I’ll definitely take a few of you as pets, damn it!”

As Hei Huang left, the Melodic Sect cultivators who had fallen into madness and were killing each other slowly regained their senses.

Lin Miaoyu sat on the Demon Suppression Platform, silent, her face as dark as it could be.

No one had expected the Demon Extermination Assembly to turn into such a fiasco.

The Melodic Sect had lost face completely!

At this moment, an elderly figure emerged from the ground, rose into the air, and swept the entire scene with a powerful Divine Sense, scanning everyone and everything. She was none other than the Melodic Sect’s Ancestor, Meng Xiangu.

She held a dried dog tail in her hand, her face expressionless, clearly having arrived too late.

”Greetings, Senior!”

All the outsiders cupped their fists and saluted Meng Xiangu, a show of respect for the strong.

”Ancestor!”

Lin Miaoyu looked at Meng Fu, her eyes red, biting her lip hard.

”I know everything that happened here.”

Meng Fu said calmly, looking at the dog tail in her hand, which had trapped her, preventing her from breaking free. Otherwise, how could she let those two little brats be so arrogant?

Her voice was calm, but those who knew her understood that the calmer she was, the angrier she was.

”I, Meng, hereby swear to use all means to capture those two thieves and tear them to pieces!”

Meng Fu’s voice was icy, and a thunderous sound suddenly echoed in the sky, a vow to the heavens.

Everyone present felt a chill, realizing how intense Meng Fu’s anger was, as she made a vow at the Elemental Infant stage.

Those two were in for it.

”Xu Qingfeng, I need to go to Penglai Island. Could you help convey my request for your Tianji Shangren to assist?” Meng Fu looked at Xu Qingfeng.

Xu Qingfeng cupped his fists and replied, ”Senior, Tianji Shangren happens to be on Star Island, assisting in the investigation of the Immortal Pavilion theft. You can come with me.”

”Very well! Today, those two little thieves will pay the price!”

Meng Fu nodded, took out an ancient scroll, wrapped Xu Qingfeng in it, and the two flew towards the Immortal Pavilion.

They didn’t know that the ones who had just caused trouble were the same group who had stolen from the Immortal Pavilion.

...

Xu Hei was dragged by Ji Ying, flying out of Star Island, and after flying for half a day, they landed on an uninhabited island and finally stopped.

”So tired, so tired, I’m exhausted. I’ve never flown this long before. I need to sleep!”

Ji Ying, full of complaints, burrowed back into the gaps of Xu Hei’s dragon scales and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, the effects of the Transformation Pill wore off, and Xu Hei reverted to his snake form.

He said nothing, directly consuming all the Mind Calming Flower Dew and swallowing an ancient Spirit Medicine, refining it at full speed.

Hei Huang also flew over from a distance, landed on the island, and sat cross-legged to recover his energy.

This small island was very familiar.

It was the same island Hei Huang had moved before, also Xu Hei’s first stop upon arriving at the East Sea.

Since then, Hei Huang had refined the island, turning it into a mobile base, able to go anywhere, larger than any ship and more inconspicuous.

The only downside was its inconvenience, requiring the Mountain-moving Patriarch to move it.

”Old dog, fifty-fifty split...”

Xu Hei suddenly opened his eyes, speaking weakly.

”Can we not rush? Let’s rest for a few days first!” Hei Huang cursed.

Xu Hei thought about it, realizing Hei Huang couldn’t escape, nodded, and closed his eyes to rest.

...

Star Island, Immortal Pavilion.

Tianji Shangren circled the empty treasure vault, then went to the site where Mu Hou had died in the back mountain, circling again.

He squinted his eyes, looking at Duanmu Qing in front of him, who stood respectfully, waiting for a response.

An Elemental Infant cultivator being so courteous to someone at the Core Formation stage would shock outsiders, but within Penglai Island, it was quite normal.

This was because Tianji Shangren was not a single person but an External Incarnation of someone.

This was a secret known to the higher-ups all along, just unknown to outsiders.

”Duanmu Qing, we’re in big trouble!” Tianji Shangren said meaningfully.
