Chapter 221: Everyone Gathered, Digging Out the Dragon Snake

Two days later.

Longshe Cheng, with winds rising and clouds surging, was in turmoil.

Outsiders grew more numerous, and both the Chen Clan and the Shang Clan began to retract, trying as much as possible not to let their disciples go out, thereby reducing collisions and thus reducing conflicts.

Chen Yuan kept staring at Longshe Cheng; these past few days he had been doing so, and his mood grew increasingly heavy.

The number of people coming kept increasing, and they became ever more terrifying; each of them was a person of great importance.

"Blood demon? The true heir of the Heavenly Heart Sect, the Spirit Sword Sect's Ming Jianzi, and also the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, the Demon-Subduing General has also come; so many big shots have come to Longshe Cheng, especially the blood demon—those who have disappeared recently are related to him, and we cannot but eliminate him."

"Fortunately they are heading for the Wild Dragon Snake Cave Heaven; otherwise, my Chen Clan might also suffer."

"The blood demon is the greatest threat; we cannot fail to guard against him."

"Chen Yuan's head ached; others were not that worried for the time being, but only the blood demon—he really would take action."

"Once he acts, it will be a brutal city‑slaughter; Longshe Cheng must not let him run rampant."

"Long Ming worriedly said: 'We should send people to watch the surroundings; as soon as we find any trace of the blood demon, we must act immediately.'"

"If the blood demon is not dead, the Chen Clan will likely suffer; we never know what means he has or when he will act, constantly giving him time to grow—if the blood demon recovers, Longshe Cheng will be destroyed."

"Chen Yuan anguished: 'I also want to kill him, but even if our two clans join forces, we cannot kill the blood demon.'"

"Unless."

"Long Ming lowered his eyes: 'Unless your son takes action?'"

"Chen Yuan nodded; besides that, there is no other way."

"Only Chen Chuyang in the whole Longshe Cheng can do it, and only he will act to save the Chen Clan."

"Elder Xinran is also in Longshe Cheng, but she will not take action."

"At the critical moment, Chen Yuan trusts only his own son; outsiders, in the end, cannot be trusted."

"Long Ming nodded: 'Indeed, only Chuyang is trustworthy, but now is not the time for him to act.'"

"Hope the blood demon dies inside the Wild Dragon Snake Cave Heaven."

"The two of them had a headache; those people, not a single one is someone they can provoke."

"At least, for now it's not possible; if we gave the Chen Clan twenty years, Chen Yuan would fear no one."

"For now, we still have to keep our heads low and behave."

"Hum."

"Longshe Cheng trembled."

"This tremor was too sudden."

"Chen Yuan swiftly flew out, staring at Longshe Cheng."

"At that moment, the earthquake appeared; in an instant it came quickly and disappeared just as fast."

"Everyone in Longshe Cheng was frightened, and many ran outward."

"Chen Yuan stared ahead; outside Longshe Cheng, a beam of light shot up into the sky."

"The spiritual qi fluctuated, becoming chaotic."

"The light of spiritual qi shot straight into the sky, and everyone stared in that direction."

"The Wild Dragon Snake Cave Heaven has opened."

"It truly exists."

"Over there..."

"Chen Yuan felt that surge of spiritual qi; it was too rich, and even a slight breath made him feel his cultivation had progressed."

"What treasures lie hidden inside the Wild Dragon Snake Cave Heaven can be imagined."

"Long Ming appeared beside him, gazing at the light ahead, as many people headed that way."

"The light lasted half a quarter-hour, then vanished; many people had arrived there."

"Battle could break out at any moment."

"'Madam, let's go back; Longshe Cheng is quiet now.'"

"At least, for now, Longshe Cheng is safe."

"The Chen Clan could also catch a breath."

"Mm."

"The Shang Clan."

"Shang Yingnian stared outside, his gaze complex."

"Finally, he loosened his grip."

"The Wild Dragon Snake Cave Heaven has finally opened."

"This cave heaven has existed in Longshe Cheng for so many years, yet no one discovered it."

"Now that it has opened, we do not know what slaughter it will cause."

"Jiang Luolan stared outside and sighed: 'Don't look; the Wild Dragon Snake Cave Heaven has nothing to do with us.'"

"Quickly send people to take control of Longshe Cheng and clear out some dangerous individuals."

"While they are away, quickly cooperate with the Chen Clan to take control of Longshe Cheng, make preparations in advance to welcome them when they come out."

"Then will be the most dangerous time."

"Since the Wild Dragon Snake Cave Heaven has been confirmed, those who come then could be terrifying figures."

"This opening of the Wild Dragon Snake Cave Heaven, we do not know how many will die."

"Shang Yingnian nodded: 'This is not something we can participate in.'"

"Those people in Longshe Cheng, it is also time to clear out a batch."

"……"

Inside the Wild Dragon Snake cave heaven, inside the Wild Dragon Snake's corpse.

Chen Chuyang watched Heishanyang constantly gnawing on flesh and blood before him; after entering, it began to gnaw, not picky at all.

Flesh, scales, or bones, it eats them all.

Anything edible, it eats up, wasting nothing.

It has been eating for a long time, as if it can never be full.

"Stop eating, look at yourself, how much have you eaten? Aren't you afraid of bursting?"

Heishanyang said disdainfully: "A mere Wild Dragon Snake couldn't even kill me; let me tell you, at my prime, this snake wouldn't even be enough to stuff between my teeth."

"The flesh and blood of the Wild Dragon Snake are indeed delicious, a pity the organs aren't given to me to eat, you kid are too... stingy."

Chen Chuyang gave it a speechless glance and said: "The organs are good stuff; I'll need them later for Pill Refining, as well as the bones and scales—you can't eat those, leave them for me."

"Don't worry, it's all in my belly; when you need it, I'll spit it out for you."

Heishanyang laughed smugly; the things it eats and then spits out are not the same principle.

If you want to eat, you can, eat my saliva.

"..."

"You'd better not lie to me, otherwise, hum."

Heishanyang hastily panted: "Why would I lie to you? But when you make your pills, you have to give me a share."

"No problem, you can eat as much as you want."

Chen Chuyang looked at Heishanyang with a grin; soon you'll know what despair is.

His pills aren't that tasty; by then, you won't have a choice.

Even if you don't want to, you'll have to eat.

"Kid, we've hollowed out the Wild Dragon Snake's interior; you say those people who enter afterward find nothing—wouldn't that be...?"

These past few days, they haven't been idle—Heishanyang eats meat, while Chen Chuyang collects the organs; after gathering the five viscera and six bowels, plus the Wild Dragon Snake's tendons and so on, everything goes into Chen Chuyang's storage bag.

Basically, we've cleared out most of it; the storage bag holds many good things.

With no danger or obstruction, Chen Chuyang let go completely; Heishanyang, that old monster, is still quite trustworthy.

"Hurry up, I feel they're about to come in; then it won't be so..."

"Hmm."

Before Chen Chuyang could finish speaking, the cave heaven trembled.

Heishanyang followed suit and raised its head; a person, a goat, and a carp stared blankly for a moment.

"They're here."

"Should we continue?"

Chen Chuyang's face looked grim; those people opened the cave heaven too quickly.

Moreover, this entrance is not the only one.

"Let's go; our existence must not be discovered."

"Just let them fight."

Chen Chuyang thought it over, then retreated first, covering up these traces so they couldn't be found.

Their existence must not be discovered; otherwise, he would become the target of everyone's anger.

Those people aren't weak either, and Chen Chuyang doesn't want to become their target.

"Kid, rest assured, I'll help you cover up."

Heishanyang opened its mouth, having done something unknown; the Wild Dragon Snake's wound before them returned to its original state, appearing unharmed from the outside, but unbeknownst to them, the inside had basically been hollowed out.

Moreover, the traces of the cave were also covered up by Heishanyang.

After doing all that, Chen Chuyang and Heishanyang withdrew from the cave heaven.

The traces behind were all erased by Heishanyang.

The level of proficiency far exceeds Chen Chuyang by a great deal.

The gap between them is obvious beyond doubt.
