Chapter 247: Tianwai, Mulong, Reaction

Tianwai.

Among countless heavy mountains.

One person stood between heaven and earth, his spirit wandering Tianwai.

His eyes were like the void, observing the heavens of Tianwai.

He slowly came to, his gaze lowering; before him appeared an old man, a seemingly frail old man, yet possessing limitless power.

The old man knelt respectfully on the ground, one knee down, head bowed.

Such a reverent demeanor had never been seen before—not even when his parents were present had he shown such respect.

He was meticulous, daring not to slack in the slightest, nor make any extra movement; seeing the marks on the ground, the old man had been kneeling here for a long time, never moving, never stirring.

"My lord, has something happened in the Forbidden Land?"

The young man before him closed his eyes, nodded slightly, and gave an affirmative hum.

His eyes opened again, filled with killing intent.

"Di Wu Chong Shan is dead."

Hearing this, the kneeling old man's body shuddered violently, yet he never dared to lift his head.

He kept kneeling, waiting, his breath ragged, his eyes reddened, yet he made no other move.

He constantly restrained himself, not allowing anger, nor losing composure.

"Within the Forbidden Land, no one could kill Di Wu Chong Shan; anyone who could would never dare act—how could he have died?"

The old man spoke weakly: "Within the Forbidden Land, those people's strength is limited; Di Wu Chong Shan can be said to be a Protector of most people—those sects, those old monsters dare not move against him, for as the saying goes, to strike a dog you look to its master; their master is still here, and they cannot withstand the master's wrath."

I never expected someone would actually dare to kill Di Wu Chong Shan—is this not trampling on his face?

This is a grave crime, an unforgivable grave crime.

"My lord, let your subordinate go to the Forbidden Land; your subordinate will surely kill the culprit."

The old man spoke loudly, applying to go to the Forbidden Land.

Di Wu Chong Shan must not die in vain; they are all your people, though relations are poor and they usually vie for favor, yet concerning your dignity and face, none can defy it, nor let those people ruthlessly trample.

Your lord's majesty cannot be violated, nor insulted.

Those mere ants of the Forbidden Land are nothing but cattle and sheep, yet they dare to defy their master.

How unreasonable.

Unforgivable.

The young man's gaze fell upon the old man, and he said slowly: "Du Xuzi, Di Wu Chong Shan must not die in vain."

"Go on this trip; kill whom you must, no need to show mercy."

"Anyone associated with Di Wu Chong Shan, be they person or sect, shall be killed."

"Anyone who dares to challenge my dignity shall be killed without pardon."

Du Xuzi the old man raised his head, humbly saying: "Yes, my lord."

The young man's eyes shifted, continuing: "By the way, check on the Wild Dragon Snake; this time Di Wu Chong Shan went for the Wild Dragon Snake—if it's still alive, bring it back."

"If it's dead, remember to bring back its corpse."

"Alive, we want to see the person; dead, we want to see the corpse."

The Wild Dragon Snake is his pet; even if it dies, it must be returned.

He will not allow his belongings to be tainted by others.

Di Wu Chong Shan's death has enraged him; he must take revenge. Those ants of the Forbidden Land, oblivious to life or death, dare to provoke him—so he will show no mercy, will be unsparing, kill whom he must, not stopping until heaven and earth are overturned, for those people know neither the rules nor who is master.

"Yes."

Du Xuzi rose, turned, and prepared to leave.

The young man spoke again: "If you encounter others' envoys, handle it as you see fit—kill if you can, otherwise avoid as much as possible."

"Yes, my lord."

Upon hearing this, Du Xuzi felt a surge of joy; he knew the lord was truly enraged.

Those people, those faction envoys, are not weak; previously the lord had avoided conflict with them, only seeking to seize the opportunity of the Forbidden Land—but now the lord has spoken, this order amounts to granting him tremendous power to kill at will.

Should anything happen, the lord will protect him.

"As you command, my lord."

Du Xuzi turned and departed; this time he could really go on a killing spree.

With Di Wu Chong Shan dead, he is now the lord's most important aide; in the future, it is not impossible for him to join the Dragonherd Clan and become a member.

"Di Wu Chong Shan, you died, but instead you have accomplished me."

"I will avenge you; rest easy in death, and I will take over all that is yours."

Di Wu Chong Shan's death has instead given him an opportunity.

After completing this mission, he will be the lord's most important person.

By then, the lord will be unable to part from him.

And he might even advance further.

Without rivals, he… will no longer need to worry.

The young man looked toward the sky; several silhouettes flashed by.

Those silhouettes seemed to be mocking him.

The young man's complexion grew even uglier.

"Hmph, this matter is not over."

"Anyone who dares to act against a member of my Dragonherd Clan cannot escape death."

"If you intervene, then I will kill you all as well."

Three days later.

On Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang and Heishanyang's little carp returned; only the three of them came back, Diwu Chongshan had died, burned to ashes, and few people knew.

Those who knew also left the cave heaven through another entrance; Jing Yuheng and his companions would not reveal it, and afterwards they would likely need to find a way to hide.

The life and death of those people were in his single thought; Chen Chuyang did not worry about them.

So many people in the Wild Dragon Snake cave heaven had died; the few who remained, upon leaving, would surely try to hide.

Either they would return to their respective forces to seek shelter.

This trip to the cave heaven settled everything; Chen Chuyang also obtained that Wild Dragon Snake egg, and for three days he kept sealing it, preventing any movement or trouble. Strangely, after the egg touched Chen Chuyang, it showed no further activity.

Not even a twitch occurred, possibly due to the Wild Dragon Snake inner elixir on his person; the egg sensed its mother's aura and power, and could absorb the energy released by that inner elixir to replenish itself.

Chen Chuyang naturally did not neglect it, letting it bathe in the Wild Dragon Snake's blood.

Although a lot had been absorbed, Chen Chuyang felt heartbroken, but for the Wild Dragon Snake he still chose to do so.

This would hasten the hatching of the Wild Dragon Snake egg; this was Heishanyang's suggestion.

They left the cave, returned to Longshe Shan, and were bathed in sunlight again.

"Longshe Shan is still the best; the inside of the cave is too dark, not comfortable at all."

The little carp went with the flow, returned to Yu Tang, happy as it was, and this time received many benefits.

It exerted no strength, yet gained the most benefits.

Heishanyang also gained much, eating many things and even devouring the entire cave heaven; after the collapsed Wild Dragon Snake cave heaven was consumed by it, there was no reaction at all, so Chen Chuyang felt relieved and no longer worried that Heishanyang's body would burst.

"Finally back at Longshe Shan, this place is still good."

Chen Chuyang opened his arms, welcoming the sunshine and fresh air of Longshe Shan.
