Chapter 209: Better

“Not good. As you said, someone really escaped from there.”

In Da Mingkong’s cave, Xiong Batian’s Dharma Idol floated in midair. Although it was only an image projected over, one could tell that his face was ashen. Now, the expressions of the four lords were not too good. Someone had actually managed to escape from the defensive array formation that was thought to be impregnable.

The Lord of the Heavenly Wolf Clan, Lang Duangkong, seized this opportunity to scold Xiong Batian. “Xiong Batian, I’ve long told you to take good care of your subordinates and tell them to be careful. However, such a thing still happened. In my opinion, you should be responsible as a Lord!”

Xiong Batian’s expression was very ugly, but he was indeed the one who had a problem. He could not say anything to refute him now. He could only bite the bullet and say, “You can’t say that. I’m not entirely to blame.”

“Xiong Batian, you’re still thinking of shirking responsibility at this point?” Lang Duankong found it ridiculous. “Then why didn’t this person choose to leave elsewhere? Instead, he chose your Bear Clan. Isn’t this because he saw the loophole?”

This guy’s words were really annoying. Xiong Batian glared at him, but he could not think of anything to refute. He was indeed unlucky. Why did that guy have to come here? Couldn’t he have gone somewhere else? Wasn’t it the same if he went to their Heavenly Wolf Clan?

In any case, one could not see the change in his emotions because of his originally tan skin. He pretended not to hear it and blamed it on someone else. “In my opinion, the people guarding this place were carefully selected by all of us. I didn’t decide it myself. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be right to blame myself, right?”

When Lang Duankong heard his words, he was speechless for a moment. The four of them had indeed decided on the guards. There was nothing wrong with Xiong Batian using this method to shift the blame. However, it was really annoying that he had successfully escaped the blame.

Lang Duankong wanted to continue berating Xiong Batian, but Da Mingkong interrupted their argument.

“Stop arguing. The priority is to find these two people quickly. We can’t let them ruin our plan.”

Shi Fengchun looked at Da Mingkong in confusion and asked, “Could the danger you mentioned come from this person?”

Although Da Mingkong was puzzled, he could not make up his mind now. “That’s hard to say. However, we can’t let our guard down about this human. These two people are probably the most important people in this matter. If we can find these two people, we will be halfway to victory.”

The other three listened to Da Mingkong and nodded in agreement.

Xiong Batian stood up and patted his chest. “Leave this to me. Since this person came from my side, I believe he’s not far from here. I’ll send people to quickly find this kid. I won’t disappoint you!”

Lang Duankong complained softly, “I was waiting for you to say something. It’s your responsibility to begin with. As a result, everyone is tense, hurry up and find them.”

Shi Fengchun reminded them, “Everyone, you still have to remember that this matter was instructed by Lord Black Dragon. This is our common trouble. No one can escape it.”

In the end, Da Mingkong said, “That’s right. If we can’t find this person, our plan will be in danger of failure. We have to find this person and put aside our personal grudges first. Don’t be entangled with grudges at this time.”

Xiong Batian and Lang Duankong lowered their heads resentfully after being taught a lesson by someone. They did not dare to say anything else. The two of them still did not dare to be too rash in front of these two mighty figures. Although all of them were lords, these two were strong enough and had enough experience.

Da Mingkong was top-notch in terms of age and strength. Although Shi Fengchun was a little lacking in experience, he was young and strong. He was already at the second-grade Formation Arrangement Realm. Naturally, no one dared to criticize him.

After the mission was distributed, the four lords dispersed. Just as Da Mingkong was about to leave, he suddenly turned to a corner and stretched out a thick arm. A huge suction force was born from his palm, and the power immediately destroyed the gravel in the corner.

One of the small red vines that did not have the time to escape was caught. The vine could not resist at all and was grabbed by Da Mingkong.

The bright yellow light in Da Mingkong’s hand directly suppressed the connection between the blood vine seed and the outside world. The little fellow was still struggling there, and there were still soul fragments of the blood vine on it.

Da Mingkong stretched out his other hand and pointed a finger with majestic energy at the blood vine. He injected it into it, as if he wanted to cut open the blood vine and capture the soul of the two of them.

He knew very well that the two people who could release these things here were definitely the two people who had escaped.

In the territory of the Bear Clan a hundred miles away, two people were sitting in a very inconspicuous cave. At this moment, the blood-red person’s face was pale and his entire body was trembling uncontrollably. It was as if he had fallen into an icehouse, and his body was extremely cold.

Every small seed hid a wisp of soul. The Blood Vine injected his soul into them so that he could control the connection from thousands of miles away. Although he had nourished his soul very strongly over the years, if every wisp of soul was not cut in time and was destroyed, it would be a huge pain that would be unbearable even for those who were powerful.

This pain that came directly from the soul was impossible to resist.

The Blood Vine’s body was on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly stretched out a hand. A majestic energy was injected into the Blood Vine’s body from Li Yuanqing’s hand.

On the other side, just as Da Mingkong injected his power into it, the red vine in his hand suddenly twisted violently. The power on it was very unstable.

“Not good!”

Da Mingkong cried out in his heart. Just as he was about to throw this thing away, the small vine actually exploded with a bang. A huge amount of energy came from a small area and exploded in his hand.

Although Da Mingkong had a huge energy protection in his hand, the energy fluctuation spread out as this thing instantly exploded. It hit the space between his eyebrows.

Da Mingkong suddenly sat down on the spot and muttered something, his expression uncertain.

This wisp of soul had actually chosen to self-destruct just now, eliminating the possibility of him finding any information. Moreover, the energy fluctuation emitted by the instant his soul exploded had even injured Da Mingkong’s soul.

On the other side, the Blood Vine suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground motionless.

Choosing to detonate this wisp of soul was also very harmful to him. However, he had Li Yuanqing’s help just now to successfully destroy this wisp of soul. Otherwise, his soul would be affected as it was held in someone else’s hand. As the saying went, it was better to deal with the pain quickly.

However, after experiencing such powerful pain, the Blood Vine still could not withstand it and fell unconscious. Li Yuanqing raised his hand and kept the Blood Vine into his domain.

Li Yuanqing did not expect that there would be someone with such powerful mental strength among the four lords. The vines of the Blood Vine were very mature. Even from his perspective, it was not easy to discover.

Moreover, the Blood Vine was already very careful and tried his best to control his soul vines to not be discovered. However, even so, they were still captured by Da Mingkong. From this, it could be seen that Da Mingkong’s soul power was indeed powerful enough. No wonder he was said to be the strongest among these lords.

However, the moment the Blood Vine detonated his soul, it also injured Da Mingkong at the same time. Presumably, his soul power would decrease greatly in a short period of time.

There was a faint commotion outside.

After the four lords finished discussing, the entire Bear Clan set out to search outside. They had made such a huge commotion just to find Li Yuanqing. However, in the end, they did not expect that Li Yuanqing had already entered the hinterlands of their territory and was waiting in this small cave for an opportunity.

On the mountaintop, Xiong Batian cursed and chased everyone out.

“Look at what you idiots have done. You can even create a flaw in such a perfect array formation. You actually let a living person out. I think you guys don’t know anything except to anger me!”

While Xiong Batian was cursing, his subordinates split into teams and obediently ran outside to help him find them. The lackeys below did not want to listen to their boss’s nagging. They ran away early and dispersed like a swarm of hornets.

Only Xiong Batian was left on the mountain. He looked angrily in the direction of the four white walls and cursed.

“In my opinion, why is there so much trouble? Why can’t we just clean up these humans early on? Why did we have to pretend and create such an array formation? It almost looks like the humans are terrifying.”

Xiong Batian did not understand why Da Mingkong had to do this.

Originally, there isn’t even one Formation Arrangement realm cultivator in the humans of Ping City. If they really wanted to count, then the Sword Immortal would be one. But the Sword Immortal was just a coward who doesn’t even show his face. What was there to be afraid of?

“I don’t believe how terrifying this Sword Immortal is. Why would the four of us be afraid of a mere Sword Immortal like him? After all this, they’re throwing the problem at me again. When I go back, I’ll complain to Lord Black Dragon. What a brilliant idea this is.”

The more Xiong Batian thought about it, the angrier he became. He came here happily thinking that he would just freeload, who knew that he would have to bear the blame? It was disgusting. If he could kill this Sword Immortal, wouldn’t the trouble be gone?

Xiong Batian suddenly thought of the little rat that had crawled out. Could it be the legendary Sword Immortal? Since those two fellows were still here, it was a good opportunity.

Although Xiong Batian’s brain sometimes reacted a little slowly, there were still times when it worked. After all, he had lived for so many years. He was not a fool. Since there was such a good opportunity, he would capture this Sword Immortal. At that time, he would be able to make up for his mistakes. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

When he thought of this, his heart was filled with fighting spirit again. As long as he could show off his skills, he would be able to get more when it came to splitting the rewards. He had to get some more benefits from such a big Ping City.

At this moment, Xiong Batian suddenly heard some movement behind him. He turned his head with a smile and looked behind him strangely. However, when he took a look, he realized that someone was standing behind him. Why was this living person here?

Moreover, from the looks of it, this person was a human. Something was wrong. It was impossible for this human to appear here. The human race was already sealed in Ping City. Unless…

Xiong Batian thought for a moment and understood.

“Good lord, it’s you, kid. You’re the one who ran away from us!”

Xiong Batian roared and two axes immediately appeared in his hands. These two huge black iron axes flickered with a faint black light. Moreover, under the enhancement of Xiong Batian, the axes expanded dozens of times in size. Together with Xiong Batian’s body, they grew to a thousand feet long.

Xiong Batian did not give Li Yuanqing a chance to speak. The moment he saw him, he immediately revealed his true form and was about to slap Li Yuanqing to death.

“Good kid! How dare you run out of here? I’ll show you today!”

Xiong Batian roared and slashed the axe at Li Yuanqing’s head.

These two huge axes that reached the sky were like two small mountains above Li Yuanqing’s head. These two small mountains pressed down, as if they did not give anyone any room to move.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was about to be crushed by these two axes, Xiong Batian was overjoyed. This brat had played some tricks and escaped from inside. In the end, wasn’t he just courting death?

However, the smile on Xiong Batian’s face only lasted for a moment before it immediately froze on his huge face.

Originally, he had expected to chop this fellow into meat paste. Even if he wanted to resist and show some ability, it would be difficult for him to do so.

However, it was completely different from what he had expected. The two axes were actually blocked by the little guy below.

Xiong Batian stared at the two axes in his hands and increased his strength. However, no matter how hard he tried, it was still held there and could not move.
