Chapter 44: Black Dragon Falls

On the East Sea Lone Island!

Inside Black Mountain!

The Black Dragon was chewing on an arm, crunch crunch, blood juice trickling down from the corner of his mouth.

He still held a basin of fresh, warm human blood in his hand; after finishing that arm, he drank the whole basin of blood in one gulp!

"Mmm… delicious!" The Black Dragon enjoyed licking his lips, "There are still ten days; finally I can deliver these people."

"The sooner we hand them over, the easier it'll be; otherwise, if this job is discovered, we'll be hunted by the Heavenly Court."

The Black Dragon muttered to himself, body and mind quite weary!

Because the Grand Priest feared others would discover their main base.

So even if these subordinates had captured enough people, they had to first imprison them at their stronghold, then uniformly hand them over on a set date, being very cautious!

"Sleep, sleep." The work done, the Black Dragon didn't want to go out wandering; this period he would just sleep well,

"I don't know why my eyelids have been twitching lately."

"With the Grand Priest's heavenly secrets concealment arranged for me, no one should be able to find me, right!"

"Ah, it's all because of that bastard Cloud Emperor; his death has left me feeling anxious as well."

The Black Dragon complained, then lay down on the stone chair and closed his eyes!

In a corner, having just witnessed the Black Dragon devouring a cultivator alive, Liu Yiming and Xiao Jue both felt a bit startled.

"Will I not be drawn the next time he eats?"

Both secretly thought about it in their hearts, and also felt a lingering fear.

This horned dragon man's tooth sacrifice was purely a lottery among this group of cultivators.

No one knows who will be drawn next.

"Do you think the Sect Master knows we've been captured?" Liu Yiming and Xiao Jue communicated via voice transmission.

"He probably knows." Xiao Jue transmitted his voice, not entirely sure.

Once the Sect Master knows they've disappeared, relying on his skill of deducing heavenly secrets, he'll surely be able to figure out where they were taken.

But the premise is that they haven't been sacrificed beforehand!

The two now naturally see that this horned dragon man is in league with that Cloud Emperor!

They were captured just to be sacrificed to something!

"Damn it, I really thought that secret realm would constantly drop free lunches, but it turned out to be a honey trap, damn!" Liu Yiming couldn't help but complain, "I'll never believe in free lunches from the sky again!"

"Who the hell would've thought an Emperor Realm would be so bored as to toss treasures to fish for us ants?" Xiao Jue also complained.

Boom!

Just as the two were communicating via voice transmission, a heaven-shaking, earth-shaking roar came!

The two's eyes instantly lit up, and they exclaimed in unison, joyfully: "The Sect Master has arrived!"

This huge commotion naturally also woke the sleeping Black Dragon!

He suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in them: "The outer formation's been broken—who is it?"

Just as he wondered, this great mountain suddenly seemed to be split open by something, then slowly swung apart to both sides.

Boom!

The Black Dragon's entire body erupted with terrifying, boundless aura, about to rush forward to check the situation……

However, a white-clad man had somehow already appeared at his side, a hand resting on his shoulder, a calm voice saying, "Don't move!"

"What?!"

The Black Dragon's expression instantly turned to shock!

Because he discovered he was utterly unable to move at this moment!

No matter how he tried to circulate his qi, it was utterly useless!

"How is this possible?"

The Black Dragon had never encountered such a situation in his life.

Even if the pressure were from someone far stronger in realm, it should at least make me feel uncomfortable.

But now he feels no discomfort; he just can't move at all.

Then the white-clad youth walked up to him and sized him up.

And the Black Dragon finally got a clear look at Li Zhangsheng's face!

Dressed all in white, carrying a sword, and quite handsome—what an obvious trait!

The Cloud Emperor had once told him about such a person; indeed, one glance and you'd recognize him.

"Is it you?!" The Black Dragon stared at Li Zhangsheng, face full of shock, "You're actually still alive?"

"Damn it, didn't the Grand Priest order those heavenly-word-sized assassins from the Underworld to kill this person? Why is he still alive and vigorous?"

"When did the Underworld's efficiency become so low?"

"You mean the Underworld's assassin?" Li Zhangsheng gave a faint smile, "That person is already dead."

"What?!"

The Black Dragon shuddered again, his heart pounding wildly!

Even the Underworld's heavenly-word-sized assassins can't deal with this person?

Only now, unable to move, did he realize Cloud Emperor's death was not unjust!!

How could such a terrifying existence be something that those of our Emperor Realm level could handle?

Whoosh!

At the same time, Jiang Yuanqing also appeared here.

He looked at the cultivators densely imprisoned inside the mountain, and with a casual wave, he shattered the formations binding them, also undoing the seals on their bodies.

Swarming cultivators instantly flew over, repeatedly expressing their gratitude to Li Zhangsheng and Jiang Yuanqing.

Thank you, senior, for saving our lives!

Thank you, senior, for saving our lives!

……

Jiang Yuanqing waved his hand, telling them to hurry home!

Soon, the dense cultivators scattered like a flock of birds breaking free from a cage.

Sect Master!

Liu Yiming and Xiao Jue came to Li Zhangsheng's side.

Elder Ancestor!

Some Jiang family cultivators also came to Jiang Yuanqing's side, and Jiang Yuanqing lightly nodded at them.

At this moment, everyone was staring at the black dragon!!

Li Zhangsheng was also looking at him, saying, "Why not tell me your organization? I'll leave you a whole corpse, how about that?"

The black dragon gave a bitter smile, seeming to have let go, and said, "The Grand Priest has placed a restriction deep in our souls; I want to speak but can't."

"Senior, I have practiced a high-level soul-searching technique; why not let me try?" Jiang Yuanqing said.

The black dragon smiled again, "Useless; any method you think of to extract information, the Grand Priest has already considered and taken corresponding measures against us."

"Fine." Li Zhangsheng said lightly, feeling there was no need to pursue further.

With a casual flick, the black dragon turned to ashes!

After finishing everything, Li Zhangsheng looked at Xiao Jue and Liu Yiming and softly said, "Let's go, head back first!"

……

In the Profound Heaven Realm, the Primordial Forbidden Land, the Grand Priest who had been sitting in meditation to rest and recuperate suddenly opened his eyes,

Has the black dragon fallen?

Could it be that the white-clad youth did it again?

On the Nine Provinces Continent, probably only he could do it!

Damn it, what are the people of the netherworld doing?

……
