Chapter 1031

This time, the second Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom was swallowed by Zhou Zhiruo.

After this, only the last Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom remained.

But ever since entering this world, Seeing Meng Chixing had been watching for an opportunity to find martial artists to devour their spiritual bodies.

Across the five lakes and four seas, from those at the Earthly Immortal Realm down to ordinary martial artists, he had devoured more than he could count.

But news of this third Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom had never reached his ears.

Therefore, General Chilaowen did not propose seeking out any more Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom.

General Zhebie naturally knew that, without the Heaven's Edge Sword and unable to obtain the Heavenly Fragrant Cardamom,

the three of them staying here truly had no reason to.

Just as he was about to agree with General Chilaowen and withdraw from this foreign Great Ming,

suddenly a burst of urgent hoofbeats came from the east.

General Zhebie's heart stirred, and he immediately signaled the two to conceal their figures.

Before long, he saw a group of riders flash past not far from the three of them, heading west.

After they had gone far, Seeing Meng Chixing finally said,

"General Zhebie, General Chilaowen, if this little one is not mistaken, those people should be a few of the Yuan Tiangang secret agents from the Protecting Dragon Shanzhuang."

"Oh!"

General Chilaowen cared nothing for any Protecting Dragon Shanzhuang Yuan Tiangang secret agents; he merely gave a light "oh" as acknowledgment.

General Zhebie, however, could not help but ask upon hearing this,

"Yuan Tiangang secret agents?"

"Yes!"

Seeing Meng Chixing immediately gave a brief explanation, saying,

"The Protecting Dragon Shanzhuang is divided into four ranks of secret agents: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

Among them, the Heaven-rank representatives are the Heaven Number One Duan Tianya, and the Yuan Tiangang secret agents.

The Earth-rank representatives are the Earth Number One Benefactor Guihai, and the Earth Fiend secret agents.

Besides these, there are still…"

"Enough, enough, why go on about all this."

General Chilaowen felt a headache the moment he heard the name Duan Tianya.

He rather displeasingly cut off Seeing Meng Chixing's words.

Seeing Meng Chixing naturally knew why General Chilaowen had interrupted, and could only smile bitterly.

"Yuan Tiangang secret agents? Does this mean these people are that Zhu Wushi's trusted followers?"

General Zhebie's heart stirred, a vague guess forming within him,

"In that case, let's follow them and take a look."

"Zhebie, a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates—what secret is there worth us spying on?"

General Chilaowen, however, was impatient.

Although the Yuan Tiangang secret agents were considered one of the top-tier teams in this world,

in his eyes, even if all thirty-six Yuan Tiangang came at once, none would be a match for him alone.

He would only need one strike per person, perhaps even just one move, and the thirty-six Yuan Tiangang likely could not withstand it.

Moreover, above the Yuan Tiangang was Duan Tianya.

Unless absolutely necessary, General Chilaowen truly did not wish to see this man again.

"If you don't want to go, then just stay here!

But let me remind you, we failed this Heaven's Edge Sword mission, you know!

If we don't redeem ourselves, the Great Khan won't give us any pleasant looks when we return."

General Zhebie offered no lengthy explanation, merely stating the facts.

"Bad luck, bad luck! Just snatching a Heaven's Edge Sword, and it dragged out Li Canghai of the May."

General Chilaowen could not help but feel frustrated, watching as General Zhebie and Seeing Meng Chixing prepared to follow those Yuan Tiangang secret agents.

He could only sigh again and say,

"Fine! I'll go with you, Zhebie, and take another look.

You fellow, always full of clever tricks—following you is never wrong."

General Zhebie, having been called full of clever tricks, did not really argue back.

He merely took the lead, activating his movement art, concealing his figure, and quietly following.

Seeing Meng Chixing and General Chilaowen naturally followed step for step, cautiously trailing along.

These three—even Seeing Meng Chixing, whose cultivation was the weakest among them—had cultivation surpassing even this world's number one, Zhu Wushi.

Moreover, with the prepared striking the unprepared, how could those Yuan Tiangang secret agents know someone was tailing them from behind?

They saw this squad of Yuan Tiangang secret agents gallop swiftly, covering several dozen li.

Only when the Ma Er were run until they were foaming at the mouth did the leading secret agent finally come to a halt.

He saw that not far ahead there was a grove of jujube trees.

The leading secret agent then signaled his companions, riding up to the edge of the jujube grove.

After tethering the Ma Pi and arranging sentries,

several Yuan Tiangang secret agents leaned against the jujube trees one after another, took up their water flasks, and drank in small sips.

All fell silent.

"What rotten luck—could these people be mute? They don't even talk when resting?"

General Chilaowen and the other two had long since followed along to the side, merely hiding deep among the trees and concealing their forms.

After waiting for a long while, they saw none of those Yuan Tiangang secret agents speak a word. General Chilaowen, being impatient by nature, could not help but transmit his voice to grumble.

818 General Zhebie, come help me!

"Who are you? How dare you be rude to us — could it be that…"

That Tianjiu Star was the first to fly into a rage. Once his mute acupoint was unsealed, his very first reaction was to question Seeing Meng Chixing's background.

He even wanted to invoke the name of Shanzhuang to frighten Seeing Meng Chixing into retreat.

But how could Seeing Meng Chixing be any sort of decent man? He was the master of the Demon Master Palace, a demon bearing the title of Demon Master.

What Tianjiu Star said did not fit what he wanted.

Without further ado, he merely hardened his gaze, and at once a wisp of demonic-seed strange power silently spread over Tianjiu Star's body.

In the blink of an eye, it pierced through Tianjiu Star's skin and invaded his sinews and channels.

Before Tianjiu Star could react at all, the demonic-seed strange power followed his sinews and channels and invaded his mind directly.

Then the demonic-seed strange power, like spider silk, devoured his spirit body clean in one stroke.

With his spirit body devoured, Tianjiu Star became nothing more than a cripple.

Drool hung at the corner of his mouth, and his head lolled to one side.

Apart from still breathing, he was almost no different from a dead man.

"Tianjiu, Tianjiu…"

The other secret agents only saw this person who had suddenly appeared — he had merely glared at them.

Tianjiu Star seemed to have become Bai Chi, his eyes rolled back, drool at the corner of his mouth — truly terrifying to the extreme, bizarre to the extreme.

Shocked and worried about Tianjiu Star, they all called out to him.

But by now Tianjiu Star was almost no different from a dead man.

No matter how they called, he would not respond.

After Seeing Meng Chixing devoured Tianjiu Star's spirit body, he too was well satisfied.

He gently closed his eyes, activated his demonic art, and swiftly began searching through Tianjiu Star's memories.

On the other side, Tianxian Star was utterly shocked at this moment.

In fact, when this bizarre person had suddenly appeared and subdued them one after another without a sound,

Tianxian Star had already known that this man's cultivation was likely even more terrifying than Zhuge Shenhou's.

After all, even Zhuge Shenhou would find it extremely difficult to accomplish such a feat.

Who would have thought that what was even more terrifying was that he had merely glared at Tianjiu Star,

and nearly crippled him outright.
