Chapter 1367: Demon Master Palace (First update, requesting all)

After making his decision, Li Zhangsheng did not stay long at the Beihai Dragon Palace.

After bidding farewell to the North Sea Dragon King, Li Zhangsheng arrived in Beidi. Along the way, he carefully thought through a detailed plan. Thanks to the Wisdom Fruit, his mind operated extremely fast, and he easily found the breakthrough point.

Li Zhangsheng had no intention of storming the Kunpeng's base alone. According to the North Sea Dragon King's account, although there were no Emperor Rank Spirit Beasts among the Kunpeng's subordinates, there were several at the Demon Emperor Level, including one Demon Emperor Level Ciji Zidai Bailong. As for those at the Demon Saint and Demon King levels, they went without saying.

If he were to storm the Kunpeng's base alone, Li Zhangsheng would not only fail to take down the Kunpeng, but might instead put himself in danger; this was highly inadvisable.

Taking a step back, even if he gathered Wendi and Wudi for a frontal assault, it would still be difficult to hold the Kunpeng. This was just like when the Four Seas Dragon Clan besieged Beiming; even though they captured Beiming, they simply could not hold the Kunpeng. Instead, they were harassed to the point of being unable to bear it by the Kunpeng, who was a lone wolf at the time and utilized the essence of "guerrilla warfare." In the end, the North Sea Dragon King had to use Ao Run as a hostage and return Beiming to the Kunpeng for the matter to come to an end.

Thus, the best method was to lure the Kunpeng out of Beiming.

Consequently, Li Zhangsheng set his sights on Ao Run. He had once heard Ao Run say that as soon as he left the Beidi territory, the Kunpeng would capture him and bring him back.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan had not failed to consider using this point to their advantage, but if they sent too many people, they could not hide it, and if they sent too few, they could not win. Furthermore, without an overly powerful Forbidden Array, how could they stop a Kunpeng determined to escape? In the end, it always ended in failure.

Here, one must mention the Kunpeng's combat power. According to the North Sea Dragon King's description, even two North Sea Dragon Kings might not necessarily be the Kunpeng's match.

Li Zhangsheng had once secretly looked at the North Sea Dragon King's data; he was a Half-Step Legendary Quality Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. As such, that Kunpeng might have reached Legendary Quality.

Of course, both being Top-tier Divine Beasts, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon belonged to the bottom tier, while the Kunpeng was as famous as the Three-Legged Golden Crow, possessing brilliant combat power, being able to fight and flee, and capable of transforming into two forms.

However, luring the Kunpeng out was only one aspect; how to trap the Kunpeng was the real difficulty. With the foundation of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, even if they lacked top-tier Forbidden Arrays like the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, they certainly possessed Forbidden Arrays of the caliber of the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array.

And yet, despite the Dragon Clan's countless treasures, they still could not trap the Kunpeng, which shows just how difficult this Kunpeng was to deal with.

This Kunpeng possessed a combination-type Langhuan Supreme Treasure consisting of one map and one book. From the North Sea Dragon King's account, this Langhuan Supreme Treasure not only had extremely strong defenses but also possessed powerful array-breaking effects.

The effect of this Langhuan Supreme Treasure reminded Li Zhangsheng of the Heavenly Court Supreme Treasure held by the Human Emperor—the Mysterious Yellow Precious Mirror. As for which was superior or inferior, he would have to see it to know.

Under these circumstances, if he wanted to hold the Kunpeng, Li Zhangsheng had to use extraordinary means.

To avoid interference from other forces, Li Zhangsheng did not call upon Wendi or Wudi, nor did he ask for the help of the North Sea Dragon Clan, but if other forces interfered, they would block them; this was also their main task.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later; Beiming was, after all, a major power, and it was inevitable that it might be courted by other forces.

After arranging everything, Li Zhangsheng used the Heavenly Dao Breath Concealment Technique to conceal his aura, came to Beidi to discuss with the Northland Dragon King Ao Run for a while, and began the operation.

Ao Run transformed into a winding, undulating four-clawed white dragon and flew rapidly toward the direction of the North Sea.

In just a quarter of an hour, Ao Run began to enter the North Sea region.

On the other side, Li Zhangsheng transformed into Di Jiang, directly tore through the void, and began to shuttle through the different dimensions, following closely behind Ao Run.

Beiming was located at the northernmost end of the Fairy World. Due to the extremely low temperature, a large amount of seawater solidified into ice, forming the layout of an ice crystal continent, with a volume even one-third larger than the southeastern region.

Unfortunately, the environment here destined that only a small number of creatures could survive, the vast majority being ice-attribute species, such as Ice Luan, white dragons, frost giants, and so on.

In the central area of Beiming stood a large number of ice crystal palaces, among which the "Demon Master Palace" was the most prominent; this was also the Kunpeng's residence.

In the Demon Master Palace, sitting at the head was a middle-aged man with a sinister appearance; he was the master of Beiming, the Kunpeng. On the left and right sides below him were his capable subordinates, every one of them being a Demon Saint or even a Demon Emperor level existence.

Although the density of creatures in Beiming was sparse, such a vast territory, combined with the exceptionally harsh environment, made the proportion of Stronger individuals born there far exceed other places.

Originally, the Kunpeng was discussing matters concerning the Dragon Clan with his subordinates when, suddenly, his heart stirred. He had made arrangements on Ao Run, and as Ao Run left Beidi, he immediately sensed it.

Regarding Ao Run, this hostage, the Kunpeng still attached considerable importance to him. Among the many North Sea Dragon Clan juniors, Ao Run's talent definitely ranked at the forefront, and the key was that he was the son the North Sea Dragon King doted on the most.

It could be said that Ao Run was an important pawn for the Kunpeng's schemes against the North Sea.

"This is the second time!"

The Kunpeng thought silently, then stood up from his seat.

"Everyone, that little dragon Ao Run has run away again!"

As the Kunpeng's voice fell, a white-haired man in the upper left seat immediately stepped out and shouted boisterously: "Master, I will go catch him now; this time I must peel his skin off!"

This was a Demon Emperor level Ciji Zidai Bailong, and could also be said to be the strongest in Beiming besides the Kunpeng.

"Your strength is on par with Ao Run's, so you may not necessarily be his match. Besides, this might be another scheme by the Dragon Clan. I will go myself. After catching Ao Run back this time, I will imprison him in Beiming."

To avoid the possibility of losing troops and generals, the Kunpeng decided to take action personally to catch Ao Run back.

Knowing there were tigers in the mountain, he still headed toward the tiger mountain. In the end, the Kunpeng was too confident in his own strength, and the key was that his ability to escape was too strong, and he had a Langhuan Supreme Treasure that could restrain Forbidden Arrays, making him almost invincible.

In terms of individual strength, this Emperor Rank Kunpeng was indeed at the pinnacle of the Fairy World.

After making his decision, the Kunpeng took his subordinates and left the Demon Master Palace. He reached out and beckoned, and the Demon Master Palace turned into a Miniature Palace and was taken away by him.

This Demon Master Palace was a rare treasure, and it was both offensive and defensive. The key was that no one knew that a Teleportation Array was hidden inside the Demon Master Palace.

The next moment, a giant Peng that blotted out the sky and sun appeared above Beiming. The back of the Peng, one did not know how many thousands of miles it was; its wings were like clouds hanging from the sky, flying toward the direction where Ao Run was at an astonishing speed.

In terms of speed, excluding space-type Divine Beasts like Di Jiang and the Ancestral Dragon, the only one that could compete with the Kunpeng was the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

In just a few breaths, the Kunpeng left Beiming. Its speed was at least several times that of Ao Run, closing the distance at an incredibly exaggerated speed.

When the Kunpeng saw Ao Run from afar, it immediately understood why Ao Run had left Beiming.

At this moment, not far behind Ao Run, Ning Bizhen was riding a Two-Legged Golden Crow and chasing after Ao Run.

Ao Run was covered in wounds and looked quite miserable; it was obvious he had fallen into a disadvantageous position and gave people a feeling of being on the verge of collapse.
