Chapter 1872: Kunpeng Guardian

Tianwai, above the Mangshan Mountain Range.

A figure appeared in the upper sky, clouds blocked his figure, he did not descend but hovered high in mid‑air, in the sky where no one notices, his figure is not conspicuous, located in the gale wind layer, a very dangerous place.

Above Tianwai's sky, the higher one goes, the more dangerous it becomes; ordinary people do not fly that high, at most they stay at ordinary height; once a certain height is exceeded, one must face the gale wind layer above the sky; the higher one goes, the stronger the gale wind, and the greater the harm to body and soul.

The body of an ordinary cultivator reaches its limit at a height of one hundred meters; going higher is extremely dangerous, the body cannot withstand the gale wind nor the immense pressure, thus collapsing; above one hundred meters is also called a place only the Strong One can reach.

A Split Soul of the Kunpeng Guardian descended, coming to Cangzhou's Mangshan Mountain Range to investigate; one of his subordinates had been killed, his main body could not come, his main body was still inside the Myriad Demon Hall and could not leave temporarily, but he could not delay until then, the Kunpeng Guardian knew that subordinate could not die so easily.

Although the White Wolf Demon General's strength is not remarkable, he does not want to die and will not be killed; within the mere Mangshan Mountain Range, few can detect his presence, and even if detected, he would have a chance to announce his name; the Kunpeng Guardian believed no one in the Mangshan Mountain Range would dare to move against him, but the fact is the opposite.

The White Wolf Demon General died, and died quickly; after sending a report to himself, he vanished, killed in an instant; to achieve this, the enemy is not weak, and it is very likely that the White Wolf Demon General was forced to send that message in order to steady himself.

Therefore, the Kunpeng Guardian must come to inspect the situation; a single Split Soul is enough, his main body needs some time before he can leave, he dare not act recklessly, the Myriad Demon Hall is not just any place, not a place where one can behave wantonly.

"This is the place where the White Wolf Demon General was killed."

After observing for a long time, he found the spot where the White Wolf Demon General had fallen, silently descended, and stood there, his brows furrowed; everything around had been altered, showing no trace, and no aura of supernatural ability could be detected; normally, for one of the White Wolf Demon General's level, though not strong, killing him would still require using supernatural ability, and the aura of such ability does not dissipate easily.

Here, however, there is no aura at all; even the soil is completely new, everything around has been cleaned up, leaving not a trace.

The Kunpeng Guardian bent down, scooped up a handful of soil, let it slip through his fingers, and mused: "The one who acted is extremely cautious, even knows… to clean up the scene; this person is not simple."

"Was it the people of the Mangshan Demon Palace who acted, or those of Longshe Shan?"

"No matter who it is, whoever dares to move against my people must die."

The Kunpeng Guardian narrowed his eyes; his people are not something just anyone can kill, without his permission no one may act against them.

"Looks like I need to make a trip to the Mangshan Demon Palace."

The Mangshan Demon Palace must be visited; otherwise others will think the Kunpeng Guardian is easy to bully.

Having arrived here, he does not want to go to the Mangshan Demon Palace, nor does he want others to detect his presence, but at this moment he has no choice.

His own people have died, died in an unclear manner; the Mangshan Demon Palace should know something about it, but the Kunpeng Guardian does not care about those details; he will first go stir up trouble, letting the Mangshan Demon Palace find the culprit instead of him doing so, for the entire Mangshan Mountain Range is vast, not something he could search through.

The enemy is obviously cautious and will not give him a chance to find them.

Moreover, the Kunpeng Guardian is not skilled at searching for people; he needs to have others look, but on the Myriad Demon Hall's side he does not want to bother those people, nor does he want them to know his whereabouts or his purpose.

This operation is his private action; the Myriad Demon Hall side does not know about it.

Inside the Mangshan Demon Palace.

Lan Tiansheng's expression changed as he looked outside, his body tensed, and he said in a low voice: "Diewumeng, a Strong One has intruded."

Diewumeng opened her eyes, lifted her head, and looked outward.

At the gate of the Dadian, a figure descended and slowly walked in; the guards outside each stood frozen, they made way, clearly feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the Kunpeng Guardian, that is the aura of a Strong One, which they cannot withstand.

Charging forward would only be suicide.

"I have seen him." Diewumeng sat in her seat, neither rising nor acting.

Lan Tiansheng immediately stood beside Diewumeng, as her guard he must protect her safety.

"Thud thud thud."

The Kunpeng Guardian entered the Mangshan Demon Palace unhindered; the outer layer of formation was torn open by him, the Mangshan Demon Palace's formation is still not strong enough to block such a Strong One from entering.

Diewumeng narrowed her eyes, locking onto the thin, withered figure before her; at first glance she recognized his identity and said: "I do not know why the Kunpeng Guardian of the Myriad Demon Hall has come all this way to my Mangshan Demon Palace."

It is merely a Split Soul, not the main body descending; she does not need to worry.

If the main body were to come, Diewumeng would surely flee; it would be impossible to confront him head‑on.

As for a Split Soul, she is not yet afraid; the husband of Longshe Shan is absent, so she cannot temporarily go to Longshe Shan.

However, she does not need to worry; although the Kunpeng Guardian who has come bears ill intent, a single Split Soul is not enough to intimidate her.

The Kunpeng Guardian lifted his head, his deep eyes fixed on Diewumeng, and exclaimed in surprise: "Are you the New Demon Emperor Diewumeng of the Mangshan Demon Palace?"

"Not bad." Diewumeng sized up the man before her and said coldly: "I recall that our Mangshan Demon Palace has no connection with your Myriad Demon Hall; why have you, Kunpeng Guardian, personally come here, and what advice do you offer?"

Her voice revealed no joy or anger, yet it was truly… indifferent.

The unwelcoming attitude was obvious; the Kunpeng Guardian heard it, he dismissed it, and questioned: "Diewumeng, this Dharma Protector's subordinate, the White Wolf Demon General, died inside the Mangshan Mountain Range, not far from your Mangshan Demon Palace—will you give an account for this?"

"Is that so?" Diewumeng asked in surprise.

She turned her head and asked Lan Tiansheng: "Lan Tiansheng, is there such a thing?"

Lan Tiansheng thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I have never heard of it."

Both understood clearly that it was not they who had done it; it must be the people of Longshe Shan's side, Black Tiger and White Azure Frost's men who acted, which would certainly cause a disturbance, for the White Wolf Demon General's strength is not weak, so it is impossible that there would be no movement at all.

He vanished just like that, sound and traceless; only if the people of Longshe Shan had acted could such a feat be accomplished.

But they definitely won't say it out, nor will they tell the Kunpeng Guardian; it is quite obvious that the Kunpeng Guardian is coming toward Longshe Shan, more precisely, toward the Blackwater Dragon Palace beneath Longshe Shan, and furthermore we must not let him enter Longshe Shan.
