Chapter 983: Demonic Presences
Then come find this treasury with me. All the spirit stones will be mine, as for the treasures, Ill give you thirty... ten percent.
Ten percent?! Who do you take me for?! Feiyun would be leaving right now if he wasnt considerably weaker.
Villain, dont you dare leave! Give me back my ship! Suddenly, a white turtle appeared on the horizon and ran over with extreme speed.
It appeared in front of the Evil Woman and blocked her path while gasping for breath.
Feng Qingqing eventually landed next to Feiyun, looking like a fairy from above. Her sweet scent filled the air.
The Evil Woman ignored the screeching turtle as if it had nothing to do with her.
Grandpa, whos the bandit? The fruit rolled out of Feiyuns robe and came closer to the turtle.
The latter hugged the fruit and started weeping: Little Laoshi! Your poor grandpa got robbed, she took everything, even my underwear!
Grandpa, but you never wore underwear... The fruit said.
... The turtle looked surprised before continuing to weep: Youre right, your grandpa was too poor to even afford underwear and Im poorer now. Feng Feiyun! Evil Woman! Give me back my ship and treasures!
It might be screaming but didnt actually do anything. If it was a match for the Evil Woman, it wouldnt have lost the ship in the first place.
Feiyun sighed, thinking that his plan was ruined.
The Evil Woman gazed at the fruit; her eyes flashed brightly. A suffocating aura expanded from her as she said: A True Sacred Fruit, I dont need an evil land from the market then.
The turtle let out a yelp before pulling the fruit behind him: Laoshi, run! I got your back!
Boom! She sent the turtle flying with a finger flick.
Grandpa! The fruit turned into a black ray and escaped, not wanting to be eaten by this devil.
The Evil Woman desired the fruit and turned into a beam as well.
Somebody help me!
Dont run, help me break through!
Help me! Im only a little fruit!
It didnt take long before both of them disappeared into the horizon.
Feiyun took a deep breath and thought that the Evil Woman was too bold. No wonder why she dared to steal the Dao Ancestors scripture.
Feng Feiyun, tell me who she is, I will find her and beat her down. I risked my life for that ghost ship and you know what she did? She said that it was pretty and took it from me, does the heaven not have eyes! Is there no justice in this world?! The turtle returned and looked emotional. It landed on his shoulder and screeched.
Feiyun smiled wryly and said: I dont know much about her identity, only that her original name is Xiao Nuolan. She stole the daoist scripture thirty thousand years ago and was killed by a saint of the Daoist faction. She and the Immeasurable Tower fell down to Jin afterward, thats all I know. Shouldnt you know more than me?
I only know about the trouble she caused in Jin, not who she was before she turned into a Corpse Evil. Wait... if she had managed to steal the scripture, this shows just how capable she was. Xiao, Xiao, could she be that person? The turtle had a serious expression as it murmured.
Suddenly, its eyes bulged outward and nearly left their sockets after realizing something.
She must have been part of the strongest group when not taking saints into account. In human kingdoms, there are fewer than ten cultivators at her level. Feiyun said.
We need to leave this place, that woman is murderous and untethered. She had offended a daoist saint, its best to keep our distance and not get close to her. The turtle contemplated.
Feiyun nodded in agreement, thinking that being friends with her was risky. Moreover, she didnt know how to share either.
Ten percent of the treasury? He would rather go find it alone.
Now, the threat from Firmaments and Lifeless was gone so he didnt need to borrow her power. He planned to go to the center of the ruin since he felt that something there was waiting for him.
As for the competition between those royal daughters? He didnt want to get involved. Liu Sulu was dead and Liu Suzi should be able to deal with Liu Sulan and Liu Suhong, given her craftiness.
He wasnt afraid of the fruit being captured either. The Evil Woman was strong but capturing the fruit was a difficult task.
He didnt have time to worry about others. It was best to focus on improving his cultivation. His true enemy was extremely mighty and he could only rely on himself.
If I had known that she was so unreasonable, I wouldnt have helped her break through back in Jin. Feng Qingqings face was red as she pouted. She was unhappy because the Evil Woman took several of her treasures too.
Its not all bad, at least everyone knows that I have a Corpse King as a backer. This news will spread and no one in this region will dare to kill me. Its a decent situation. Feiyun smiled.
She nodded in agreement and smiled as well, revealing her perfect teeth.
The two of them and the turtle headed for the center. They met many evil creatures along the way but Feiyun easily took care of them.
Many abandoned temples and palaces were seen along the way, or whats left of them. They were part of the outskirts, not actually part of the main city.
There are demonic presences. The turtle sniffed the ground like a dog before looking up at the sky: From the white spiders.
Feiyun naturally knew why demons were here. He was the one who communicated with them in order to deal with Xuanyuan Yiyi. However, he didnt wish to continue the plan against Xuanyuan Yiyi.
He realized that he had misunderstood her due to existing prejudices. He shouldnt hate her just because of Shui Yueting.
A while later, the turtle spotted other presences as well from the other races tigerwolf, giant ant, fox, wind... A total of nine different demon races.
How strange, what is there at the center? To actually tempt so many demons. The turtle wondered.
Feiyun stood on top of a gray boulder. This used to be a tablet but now, it has deteriorated into something unrecognizable.
He gritted his teeth and felt his demonic blood surging out of control. He needed to use his Buddhist energy to suppress it.
Bro, whats wrong? Qingqing gently pulled his arm and became worried.
Im alright, but... keep a distance from me. He took a deep breath and said: Theyre here for the true dragons corpse.
What? The turtles jaw nearly touched the ground: Impossible, impossible, dragon corpses are buried in the dragon mound, they arent left outside.
Feiyun was surprised to see the turtle knowing so much. The dragon mound was a secret only known to the four great demon races. How did this turtle know?
Are you sure its a dragon? The turtles eyes flashed brightly.
I saw with my own eyes, a dragon corpse as big as a mountain flying through the air. Its aura froze everyones blood as it headed for the center.
Thats amazing for us. There are only two reasons for a dragon corpse to be lost outside, either banishment or a traitor. Everything about this corpse is precious. Its scales, skin, blood, tendon, bones, bladder, core, heart... this dragon is as precious as an immemorial treasury. The turtles saliva dripped to the ground.
I see. Feiyun said.
Dont worry, if the dragon race isnt here to pick up this corpse, it means that this dragon must have done something wrong. As long as we dont purposely desecrate the corpse, they wont come find us. Its a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your cultivation will soar if you can get the core. The turtle elaborated.
Alas, Feiyun had a hard time focusing. His blood was churning again. The thing agitating him wasnt the dragon corpse but something else.
This was a strange phenomenon that made him awfully nervous.
As for the turtle, it forgot about the Evil Woman and only thought about how to obtain this corpse.
Bam! It rushed forward and suddenly hit an invisible barrier.
White light appeared along with countless formation runes, causing the turtle to roll repeatedly on the ground.
The light receded and the barrier became invisible again.
Ouch! Which fucker erected a barrier in this desolate place? The turtle rubbed its forehead and felt dizzy.
There was nothing in this location right now, only bricks and broken walls. There were sounds of gales and the occasional roars from beasts.
