Chapter 1422: Huangwu Tripod (Second Update)

Since he did not have obsessive-compulsive disorder and had already achieved his goal, Li Zhangsheng naturally did not idle away his time fighting the entire Manghuang Forest, avoiding the possibility of someone else reaping the benefits.

If the Manghuang Forest were only at the level of the Monopoly Mountain Range, Li Zhangsheng would have been confident in crushing the opponent in a short time.

Unfortunately, the overall strength of the Manghuang Forest was nearly twice that of the Monopoly Mountain Range; with Li Zhangsheng's current strength, it was simply not an existence he could defeat in a short time, not to mention that he still had to suppress the nine Cang Cats, which would inevitably limit his strength to some extent.

Roar-woo~

Suddenly, a roar erupted from the distance. Li Zhangsheng gazed into the distance and saw an ape of astonishing size.

That was not one of the Four Great Monkey Spirits, but an Emperor Rank Mountain Giant Ape.

Except for the legendary Chaos Demon Ape, the Mountain Giant Ape could be said to be the largest existence among ape-type Spirit Beasts.

One could tell how large it was just from its name, and the key point was that this was an Emperor Rank Mountain Giant Ape, so that went without saying.

Perched on the shoulder of the Mountain Giant Ape was a large bird with double pupils; with such obvious features, it was undoubtedly a Chongming Bird.

These were the two Sovereigns of the Manghuang Forest, both of whom were Emperor Rank Divine Beasts. If one added the double-digit number of Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts, their overall strength was definitely not inferior to an Emperor.

Besides that, near the Chongming Bird was a pale cyan Cang Cat; it was precisely the Xun Wind Cang Cat.

Even though they were separated by a distance of a hundred miles, when Li Zhangsheng looked at the Mountain Giant Ape and the Chongming Bird, they also discovered Li Zhangsheng.

"Bye-bye, you all!"

Li Zhangsheng waved at them, then transformed into his Three-Legged Golden Crow form, turned into a Lihuo Changhong, and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

Roar~

The Mountain Giant Ape let out an angry roar, but if one listened carefully, one would notice that the sound carried a sense of being fierce in appearance but faint in heart.

Such a large giant ape seemed a bit timid.

The Xun Wind Cang Cat was a bit anxious and hurriedly asked, "Two Sovereigns, why aren't you pursuing?"

"The King of Ten Thousand Saints is too fast; we can't catch up!"

The Emperor Rank Chongming Bird explained. In truth, it was just as timid as the Mountain Giant Ape, mainly because it had recognized Li Zhangsheng.

As the Sovereigns of the Manghuang Forest, the Chongming Bird and the Mountain Giant Ape had heard many stories about Li Zhangsheng recently, so they were naturally extremely wary in their hearts. They had discussed among themselves that they must avoid becoming enemies with Li Zhangsheng.

If they were to become enemies, they would have to kill the opponent at all costs.

There was no other reason; besides Li Zhangsheng's strength being sufficiently powerful, it also had to do with the fact that his strength growth seemed to have no end. No one could judge his upper limit, but it was certain that he would definitely not be inferior to his predecessors.

"Is the King of Ten Thousand Saints that human who snatched away my companions?"

Unlike the two Sovereigns of the Manghuang Forest, the ten Cang Cats had never actively paid attention to the outside world and had always lived in their own little world.

In fact, the two Sovereigns of the Manghuang Forest had long known of the existence of the ten Cang Cats, but they had never driven them away and had always let them be free.

This was mainly because the ten Cang Cats were not weak and had no desires; they would not compete for the autonomy of the Manghuang Forest, and the relationship between the two sides was more like a symbiotic one.

"Yes, he is the King of Ten Thousand Saints, a very powerful human."

The Mountain Giant Ape's muffled voice rang out. Although its size was a bit huge, its brain was quite nimble.

"Then what about my nine brothers?"

The Xun Wind Cang Cat felt very panicked. Without the other nine Cang Cats, what was it supposed to do? It couldn't just join the Manghuang Forest.

"It's useless to ask us; in short, you can't get them back. However, judging by the fact that the King of Ten Thousand Saints didn't deal a lethal blow, your nine brothers should not be dead."

Without spending much time, Li Zhangsheng returned to the Imperial Capital of the Tianling Empire.

Inside the Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng looked at the nine Cang Cats in front of him.

The nine Cang Cats looked at him pitifully, tears welling up in their pairs of large eyes.

The nine Cang Cats were not restrained, but under the covetous gazes of the many Demon Pets, they had no thoughts of resisting.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng grabbed the Light Cang Cat by the back of its neck and lifted it up.

"Meow, what are you doing? Put me down quickly!"

Li Zhangsheng ignored the Light Cang Cat's resistance and shook it hard.

Cling-clang~

A petite bell was shaken out, fell to the ground, and made a crisp, pleasant sound.

Li Zhangsheng shook it again, and a crystal fell out, only then did he put the Light Cang Cat down.

Judging from the feedback of his Mental Power, the Light Cang Cat only carried these two items.

Furthermore, none of the nine Cang Cats had opened an internal space; Li Zhangsheng could feel it, and he didn't know if it was because they lacked the ability or were just lazy.

In the subsequent process, Li Zhangsheng followed the same pattern and swept up all the treasures carried by the nine Cang Cats.

Cang Cats liked to play around, usually liked to stay in the same place, and their personalities were also very lazy. Added to the fact that they did not have the habit of actively collecting treasures, they did not have many treasures.

However, they were Divine Beasts after all, so the Cang Cats still had an eye for things. These items that were shaken out were almost all high-quality goods, among which there were two treasures that Li Zhangsheng could use.

The first was a Seeking Dao Jade Fragment, though it was not large in size, slightly smaller than an adult's palm.

The second was a small earthy-yellow tripod. Carved on the tripod were the two crooked ancient characters "Huangwu," and it was indeed the Huangwu Tripod from the Nine Cauldrons.

Among the Nine Cauldrons, the Huangwu Tripod could be said to be the one with the strongest defense. In terms of defensive ability alone, it was even comparable to an ordinary Low Grade Langhuan Supreme Treasure.

In this way, Li Zhangsheng had gathered seven of the Nine Cauldrons and was only two away from completion.

Li Zhangsheng put away the two treasures and turned his gaze back to the nine Cang Cats.

The nine Cang Cats were like criminals waiting for judgment, not daring to even breathe loudly, and could only continue to look at Li Zhangsheng with eager eyes.

As for how to deal with these nine Cang Cats, Li Zhangsheng naturally would not let them go. After all, these were nine excellent thugs, and possessing sufficient deterrent power, they would always be of some help.

It was just that the Demon Saint Level Cang Cats could be under a Temporary Contract, but the remaining three Demon Emperor Level Cang Cats could not be handled that way. However, it was not difficult to make them listen obediently.

If they were those Divine Beasts with high-spirited temperaments, the difficulty of taming them would naturally be extremely great, but the Cang Cats were completely unrelated to that. Instead, they were equivalent to being low-grade, lazy, and playful, with notoriously weak willpower, and the possibility of them resisting to the death was minimal.

Sure enough, Li Zhangsheng easily persuaded the nine Cang Cats and signed a Temporary Contract with the six Demon Saint Level Cang Cats.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng began to extract the blood of the Cang Cats.

During this process, Li Zhangsheng constantly checked their status bars, stopping at the critical point of health every single time.

Very quickly, the nine Pale Cats finished being drained, and they consumed Spirit Herbs that rapidly restored their Bloodline Imprints.

"Bright Pale Cat, I leave the task of persuading the Xun Wind Pale Cat to you; I hope you do not make a mistake!"

Li Changsheng thought for a moment, and in the spirit of the Human Path, he felt that a family should be complete and that he could not let the Xun Wind Pale Cat live all alone, so he sent the Bright Pale Cat out.

Of course, some necessary measures were still in place.

With enough Pale Cat blood, Li Changsheng was naturally impatient to refine the Spirit Essence.
