Chapter 1905

Inside the Mangshan Mountain Range, the winds and clouds shift unpredictably; various forces have entered together, which for the Mangshan Demon Palace is a tremendous pressure.

The Mangshan Demon Palace must guard against them and also assist them, jointly opposing the Kunpeng Guardian; at this moment they are allies, yet they cannot cause a great commotion before battle even begins, with their own side fighting first—this would be a huge joke.

Diewumeng ordered Lan Tiansheng to handle it, giving him full authority over everything; she didn't need to go out, just leave it to Lan Tiansheng, and Lan Tiansheng indeed did all that, running back and forth—up front he had to receive the forces from Lingzhou, must not let them cause a disturbance, must not let the demon beasts clash with them, and should as far as possible disperse the surrounding demon beasts, making room for them to set up.

In the following days, they needed to coordinate the forces from Cangzhou; the Tian Du Men of Cangzhou and the Jichen Sect came together, while the Tianjian Sect also sent a few people—just a handful—these were merely probing; the true strong ones would come later, or perhaps they had all arrived but were hiding.

By this point they all understood: they must not alarm the Kunpeng Guardian, nor let him discover anything; first let the Kunpeng Guardian enter the Mangshan Mountain Range, then activate the formation to seal everything, seal his aura—this battle must be swift and decisive.

In short, Lan Tiansheng was extremely busy, having no time to rest, while Diewumeng was quite relaxed, sitting alone in the Dadian of the Mangshan Demon Palace, greeting the Tian Du Dragon King; the Feng Ling True Person of the Jichen Sect did not come, nor did the Tianjian Sect's people.

"Diewumeng, you really are leisurely," the Tian Du Dragon King couldn't help but remark; this woman truly knows how to enjoy herself, delegating everything to her subordinates while she stays here, doing nothing, just waiting for the Kunpeng Guardian to arrive.

In this regard, Diewumeng is vastly stronger than Zhang Mang; she has everything done by her subordinates, needs not lift a finger, and doesn't want to bother with trivial matters—this is good, she takes charge of overseeing the whole situation.

"Aren't you the same, Your Excellency Tian Du Dragon King?" Diewumeng saw the Tian Du Dragon King again, feeling his strength had grown further—no wonder he is a veteran Strong One, the foremost strong one openly in Cangzhou; after his injuries healed, his cultivation began to rise rapidly.

Her own cultivation speed is quite fast, yet she still cannot catch up to him; the Tian Du Dragon King's strength remains above hers, needing no move—Diewumeng can sense that the Tian Du Dragon King in his prime is terrifying, and likely he has not yet fully recovered to that peak.

"Your Excellency Tian Du Dragon King, when will your cultivation recover?" Diewumeng couldn't help but ask.

The Tian Du Dragon King smiled and said, "How could it be that fast? My body has too many flaws; I need to cleanse them all at once. For now, most have been cleared, my strength is fine—I can protect myself."

"Then again, Diewumeng, Demon Empress, you must be careful; someone like you, a genius, is exactly what the Kunpeng Guardian loves—these Strong Ones enjoy slaughtering geniuses."

"If the time comes and you truly cannot win, don't stubbornly resist, and don't act rashly."

Diewumeng nodded: "No need to worry about me—I'm quite afraid of death, I don't want to die so soon."

"Your Excellency Dragon King, you must watch your safety; you are different from me—the Kunpeng Guardian bears a deep grudge against the dragon race; the Azure Dragon Clan and the Black Water True Dragon Clan of Lingzhou have been wiped out by him. If the Dragon King is seen by him, he might very well kill you first."

The dragon race is detested by the Kunpeng Guardian.

Especially the Tian Du Dragon King, such a Strong One, the Kunpeng Guardian loves to slaughter him most.

"Hmph."

The Tian Du Dragon King gave a cold snort, angrily saying, "The Kunpeng Guardian's actions have aroused the wrath of both humans and gods; he dares to exterminate the True Dragon Clan—he deserves death."

"If not for the protection of the Myriad Demon Hall, he would have been slain long ago; he deserves death—this time, he dares to come to Cangzhou, and his death is certain."

As fellow dragonkind, the Tian Du Dragon King is naturally furious; the Azure Dragon Clan was slain, the Black Water True Dragon Clan wiped out, both major dragon clans eradicated—among the dragon race as a whole, the Kunpeng Guardian is certain to die.

Moreover, Qinglong Daoren is also present here; he carries the bloodline of the Azure Dragon Clan, and he will not let the Kunpeng Guardian have an easy time.

The Azure Dragon Clan's extermination appears to be the result of many forces in Lingzhou acting together, but in fact it was all schemed by the Kunpeng Guardian; a little investigation would reveal the truth—too many people would see through it.

The Tian Du Dragon King agreed to come also because of Qinglong Daoren and because of Chen Chuyang; this person surely has ties to the Azure Dragon Clan, and if he acts, the matter is as good as certain.

I don't know why, but he is full of confidence in Chen Chuyang; with him present, the Tian Du Dragon King feels no fear at all.

"Is Qinglong Daoren ready over there?" the Tian Du Dragon King asked softly.

"Ready, all forces are ready, just waiting for the Kunpeng Guardian to come; according to the information I received, the Kunpeng Guardian has already left the Myriad Demon Hall and is heading this way, likely to arrive in Cangzhou soon."

"Your Excellency Tian Du Dragon King, are you ready?" Diewumeng smiled faintly and announced a shocking piece of news.

Upon hearing that, the Tian Du Dragon King straightened his body, his Dragon Might about to erupt, but in the end he restrained it, preventing the Dragon Might from fully bursting forth.

"Better that he comes; let's wait for his arrival," he snorted.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Diewumeng smiled, did not respond, and instead gazed into the distance.

Three days later.

A figure appeared above the Mangshan Mountain Range, hovering above the clouds, a massive silhouette that blotted out the sky and sun.

That figure gradually descended, giving a terrifying sensation—the Kunpeng Guardian has arrived.

Displaying his massive form, he sought to suppress the entire Mangshan Mountain Range; this was his true body—a gigantic Kunpeng, transformed into a great Peng bird, spreading its wings and soaring high; those wings blocked everything, and at that moment heaven and earth, as well as all spiritual energy, came to a standstill.

The next moment, a fierce wind surged, sweeping across the Mangshan Mountain Range, scattering the clouds.

That was the gale he brought with his arrival, slightly lagging behind his body; the wind howled, sweeping over everything.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth fell into chaos; the people and demon beasts below felt that gale, all raising their heads and staring at that figure.

"He has come."

"The Kunpeng Guardian has come."

"The true form of the great Peng bird—what an enormous body!"

"This is the Kunpeng Guardian's true form, blotting out the sky and sun."

The crowd below exclaimed in awe, each choking up, staring at that figure—they were truly panicked.

In the hearts of the weak, their gaze remained fixed on this moment, unable to take in anything else.

Their bodies trembled involuntarily, shaking in every direction.

Diewumeng rose to her feet, murmuring, "He has come."

The Tian Du Dragon King lifted his head, his gaze piercing through the Dadian, and he saw that massive figure.

"The true form of the Kunpeng, taking avian shape, is the great Peng."

Upon seeing that figure, a passage inevitably came to mind.

In the northern darkness there is a fish, its name is Kun. The Kun's size—no one knows how many thousands of li; when it transforms into a bird, its name is Peng. The Peng's back—no one knows how many thousands of li; when it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the heavens. (Note: From Zhuangzi's "Free and Easy Wandering")
