Invincible Divine Sword - Chapter 490
Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Relay a Message to Your Sect Master
Du Mei’s face changed dramatically as she sensed the powerful aura of the Black Tiger Soul Beast and called out, “Everyone retreat quickly!”
The Hundred Flowers Divine Sect disciples fled in panic.
However, as they had just begun to escape, they saw the Demon Ape grasp in the void, and in an instant, the Black Tiger Soul Beast, which was at least twenty thousand years old, was crushed by an invisible giant hand.
“Bang!” With a loud noise, blood sprayed, staining the surrounding trees and the ground red.
The fleeing Hundred Flowers Divine Sect disciples couldn’t help but freeze in shock.
Even Du Mei was surprised as she watched the Demon Ape.
This extremely tall middle-aged man was so strong that he could crush a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast as easily as crushing a mosquito!
Deng Chuan, when looking at the Demon Ape, also showed a clear trace of fear in his eyes.
Last night, when the Demon Ape said he would smash his mouth, he was furious.
At that time, he even wanted to rush up and smash the Demon Ape’s mouth.
Now, even if given another chance, he wouldn’t dare to harbor such a thought.
Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained unchanged as he continued to fly forward with Yang Ling’er and Long Qingxuan.
Along the way, if they encountered a weaker Soul Beast, Yang Xiaotian would let Yang Ling’er and Long Qingxuan take action.
Over several days, the combat strength of the two women had improved a great deal.
At this time, the group had reached the depths of the Soul Beast Forest.
Here, there were nearly all Soul Beasts of ten thousand years or more, and even those of forty or fifty thousand years were lurking.
All the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect trembled with fear.
For the safety of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect disciples, Du Mei decided not to follow Yang Xiaotian and the others any further but instead set up camp and waited for them on the outside.
After arranging a time with Du Mei and the others, Yang Xiaotian continued to fly deeper into the forest with Yang Ling’er and Long Qingxuan.
At this point, the Soul Beasts of over ten thousand years were no longer within the capabilities of Yang Ling’er and Long Qingxuan; the Demon Ape was the one who directly took action and burst them.
As for the Dark Dragon, he couldn’t be bothered to make a move.
These forty or fifty thousand-year Soul Beasts couldn’t even pique his interest.
Eventually, Yang Xiaotian and his group arrived at the deepest part of the Soul Beast Forest.
Here, Soul Beasts of ninety or a hundred thousand years resided, and even those of two or three hundred thousand years.
If they crossed this area, they would reach the Hell Abyss of the Abyssal Master.
After weighing the options, Yang Xiaotian still decided to hunt a hundred thousand-year Soul Beast for his sister and Long Qingxuan.
After all, Soul Rings were of utmost importance.
Although it was said that absorbing a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring would be dangerous for them given their base, with the Dark Dragon and the Demon Ape present, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Of course, Yang Xiaotian also asked for his sister’s and Qingxuan’s opinions, and both wished to condense a hundred thousand-year Soul Ring.
Just as Yang Xiaotian and his group arrived at the deepest area, a phoenix cry sounded; they saw a huge Iceflame Phoenix swooping over from a distance.
This Iceflame Phoenix was a hundred and ten thousand-year Soul Beast.
That’s the one!
Yang Xiaotian immediately targeted the Iceflame Phoenix.
His sister Yang Ling’er had the Nine-Colored Phoenix Martial Soul, and if she absorbed the soul of this hundred and ten thousand-year Iceflame Phoenix Soul Beast, it would complement her abilities and enhance the power of her Martial Soul.
Suddenly, the Demon Ape soared into the void, swinging the endless Black Crystal Iron Chains towards the Iceflame Phoenix, engaging in combat with it.
The Dark Dragon didn’t make a move either; the Demon Ape could handle the hundred and ten thousand-year Iceflame Phoenix. He stood guard nearby, in case the Iceflame Phoenix tried to escape later on.
While Yang Xiaotian and his party were hunting the Iceflame Phoenix, the members of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect were discussing them.
“Big Sister, in your opinion, what are the strengths of that middle-aged man and that old man?” A female disciple of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect asked Du Mei.
Du Mei shook her head, “It’s hard to say.”
Because, all along the way, the Demon Ape had never used its full strength; with just a casual strike, it burst Soul Beasts of ten, twenty, and even thirty thousand years.
As for the Dark Dragon, it never made a move.
She felt that the Dark Dragon’s strength was probably even stronger than that of the Demon Ape.
“It’s just unknown how many tens of thousands of years of Soul Beasts they will hunt for Long Sister,” Deng Chuan spoke up.
“Should it be fifty thousand years?”
“I think it’s more, maybe sixty thousand or seventy thousand?”
Just as the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect were discussing, a female disciple suddenly spoke up, “I think the Sect Master is being somewhat unfair to Long Sister.”
The disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect quieted down.
Nobody spoke up.
Du Mei also sighed.
She also felt that their master’s treatment of the younger sister was somewhat unfair.
Even if in that matter, the younger sister went against her will, she shouldn’t have treated the younger sister like this.
The younger sister possess a Supreme Martial Spirit and should absorb Soul Rings. Their master ought to have accompanied her here to hunt Soul Beasts.
However, their master made the excuse that there were important matters to deal with.
In reality, what important matters could there be?
“I heard that the old ancestor has obtained an Ancient Dragon Clan Technique,” that female disciple spoke again.
Du Mei interrupted, “We shouldn’t speculate about the matters of the old ancestor.”
The disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect remained silent.
After a difficult battle, the Demon Ape finally succeeded in hunting the Iceflame Phoenix.
Yang Ling’er sat cross-legged beside the Iceflame Phoenix and began absorbing its Beast Soul.
One day later.
Around Yang Ling’er’s Nine-Colored Phoenix Martial Soul, a soul ring finally condensed, glowing red with a tinge of purple.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian let out a sigh of relief.
After that, the group continued to search for a Beast Soul for Long Qingxuan.
Half a day later, they finally found a one hundred and ten thousand-year old Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.
Long Qingxuan, possessing Dragon Veins and a Long Clan Martial Soul, couldn’t have been a more suitable match for absorbing the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon Beast Soul.
Three days blinked by, and when the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect were growing somewhat impatient, they saw Yang Xiaotian and the others soaring out from within.
Du Mei completely relaxed and stepped forward to meet them, “Long Sister, how did it go?”
Long Qingxuan nodded with a smile all over her face, “It’s successful.”
Du Mei said with a smile, “That’s great. Now that Sister has successfully condensed the Soul Ring, let’s return to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect.” Having said this, she bowed to Yang Xiaotian and the others from the Dark Dragon and bid farewell.
Just as Du Mei was about to leave, Yang Xiaotian suddenly spoke up, “Sister Du, I have a message I’d like you to pass on to your Sect Master.”
Du Mei stopped, taken aback, not knowing what Yang Xiaotian would have to say to their Sect Master.
“Please tell your Sect Master to treat Qingxuan well. If Qingxuan suffers any grievance in your Hundred Flowers Divine Sect in the future, I will personally set foot in your Sect to seek an explanation!” Yang Xiaotian’s voice was very calm, but it made Du Mei shiver with a chill.
Du Mei realized that if Long Qingxuan really suffered any grievance in the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect in the future, Yang Xiaotian was unlikely to just seek an explanation – it would be far from that simple.
“Brother Xiaotian, thank you!” Long Qingxuan was full of gratitude, looking tenderly at Yang Xiaotian. After all these years, Brother Xiaotian was still the Brother Xiaotian who protected her.
“In a few days, I will visit you at the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect,” Yang Xiaotian said to Long Qingxuan with a smile.
He would go to the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect once he found the Netherworld Demon Sect’s treasure, acquired the Netherworld Demon Technique, and refined the Eternal Heavenly Coffin.
Under Yang Xiaotian’s gaze, Long Qingxuan and the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect finally disappeared into the horizon.
“Have Old Mo check the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect!” Yang Xiaotian said to the Heartfelt Demon Ape, his voice cold, “I want to know what happened to Qingxuan in the Hundred Flowers Divine Sect over these years.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
