Chapter 1083: Chapter 868: Reunion with True Yang
Ruan Ruan said, "Master, this ’Nine Infants’ seems really powerful. A single clone is at the Chongyang level.
If all nine were to merge together, I’m afraid it would be extremely formidable among all the Three Suns Realm!
Now that I’ve devoured one of its clones, do you think it will come after us..."
"If it dares to come, then we’ll devour the remaining eight clones as well." Su Yuan pinched Ruan Ruan’s cheek and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m here."
"Master... Boop boop!"
Ruan Ruan leaped up, rubbing gently against Su Yuan’s face with gratitude.
Su Yuan teased it for a while, but then noticed that Ruan Ruan seemed on the verge of a breakthrough.
Previously, Ruan Ruan had devoured a large amount of Early Sun Realm Star Cores, significantly advancing its cultivation.
Now, after devouring a clone of the Nine Infants at the Chongyang Realm, its strength had increased once more, just a step away from Chongyang.
If that’s the case, slaying a few more Burning Sun Star Beasts might allow a smooth breakthrough.
"Truly, the Devouring Law is straightforward and brutal..."
Su Yuan silently marveled, then turned his gaze toward the silent Daoist temple ahead.
The legendary fierce beast they had feuded with was ultimately a hidden danger, especially since it was adept in soul abilities, so Su Yuan naturally wouldn’t be careless.
However, Su Yuan himself didn’t have many tracking methods, so he could only stay vigilant.
"It’s a pity I didn’t bring Ashley, otherwise, we could directly track it down..."
With Ashley around, even if they couldn’t predict the exact location, she could still serve as an early warning system.
Nonetheless, the collaboration with the Dragon Palace’s direct lineage on the Qingming Hall side required Ashley’s coordination, so Su Yuan didn’t summons her for this Southern Continent journey.
Su Yuan shook his head and withdrew his gaze.
Next, he had to inquire from local cultivators about the current situation on the Southern Continent, including the location of the Dragon Vein.
The Lie Country was already a very remote country under the jurisdiction of the True Yang Sect, and this city was even a border city, in desolate surroundings.
However, Yan Court’s transmission arrays were intended for transportation to low-density areas, which Su Yuan had anticipated.
In any case, teleporting here was much more convenient than traveling from the East Continent to the Southern Continent by himself.
As Su Yuan was contemplating, he suddenly noticed something, his eyes narrowing as he looked up.
From afar, four beams of fierce flame light shot toward him, briefly circling above Hidden Dragon Mountain before suddenly landing in front of Su Yuan, transforming into a few cultivators clad in Sun Corona True Yang Robes.
The leader was a long-haired man with sharp features, exuding a strong aura, roughly estimated to have the cultivation of the Three Suns Realm, while the other three were all Sunburned Cultivators.
"Qiu Yeqing of the True Yang Sect, greetings, Fellow Daoist."
Su Yuan observed this and said, "So it’s Friend Qiu from the True Yang Sect. May I ask what brings you all here?"
Though Su Yuan didn’t recognize Qiu Yeqing, someone who had cultivated to the Three Suns Realm was undoubtedly a prominent expert within the True Yang Sect.
Qiu Yeqing frowned slightly upon realizing Su Yuan didn’t introduce himself.
However, the aura emanating from the other party was deep and unfathomable, giving Qiu Yeqing a sense of unpredictability.
Qiu Yeqing assessed the surroundings and asked, "Fellow Daoist, we are here under the orders of our sect to suppress the malevolent demon beast.
Now everyone on Hidden Dragon Mountain has vanished, and there seems to be traces of a recent battle on the scene. Have you seen anything noteworthy?"
"It was like this when I arrived," Su Yuan replied calmly, giving a slight bow to the group, "I have urgent matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving. Please feel free to stay as you wish."
With that, Su Yuan prepared to fly away.
Qiu Yeqing signaled to a Chongyang Realm long-browed middle-aged cultivator beside him.
The long-browed middle-aged man immediately understood, gripping his sword hilt and shouted, "Monster, don’t think you can escape our discerning eyes!"
Flames erupted from his sword, and he transformed into a Flame Dragon, lunging at Su Yuan!
In an instant, as the long-browed middle-aged man reached Su Yuan, he suddenly found himself unable to advance any further.
"Hmm?"
The long-browed middle-aged man appeared shocked, his eyes narrowing as he formed a sword technique with his left hand, causing the sword’s flame light to surge, its power increasing by several degrees.
Yet, he was still unable to strike the nearby Su Yuan.
"How is this possible?" The long-browed middle-aged man was greatly astonished.
The nearby Qiu Yeqing and the others were also secretly alarmed, closely observing the area between the two, faintly sensing a force of space power.
Su Yuan then raised his hand, casually punching the long-browed middle-aged man’s sword.
"Boom!"
The flames scattered, and the long-browed middle-aged man was instantly sent flying dozens of meters away, a surge of blood welling up in his chest.
A female cultivator hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Senior Brother, are you okay?"
"I-I’m fine..."
The corner of the middle-aged man’s mouth with long eyebrows had a trace of blood seeping out, and he looked at Su Yuan with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
The rest of the people drew their True Yang Magic Swords, showing vigilance in their eyes.
Su Yuan, however, looked at Qiu Yeqing and said lightly, "Friend Qiu, your sect’s disciples are indeed impulsive."
Qiu Yeqing’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised a hand to signal everyone to put away their weapons.
"It was my junior brother who was impulsive, but he was also worried about missing the ancient beast. Please don’t take offense, Fellow Daoist, I apologize on his behalf."
As he spoke, Qiu Yeqing cupped his hands towards Su Yuan.
Su Yuan’s expression was indifferent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Perhaps the True Yang Sect’s intention was indeed like this, but when they act, they are truly as domineering as ever~
If it wasn’t him, but someone with slightly weaker strength, they might really have gotten beaten up by them first.
But having just arrived, and considering their purpose was also the pursuit of the Nine Infants, Su Yuan thought for a moment and chose not to stir up further trouble.
"Forget it, if you have nothing else, I’ll be on my way."
Qiu Yeqing said, "Fellow Daoist, please go at your convenience. We also have to continue tracking the beast. Farewell for now."
Su Yuan nodded, then flashed and flew past the group, disappearing in an instant at the edge of the sky.
Qiu Yeqing watched Su Yuan’s disappearing figure, his brows slightly furrowing.
"This person truly thinks himself superior!" The last young man of the Early Sun Realm said indignantly to Qiu Yeqing, "Senior Brother Qiu, the battle here seems to have just ended not long ago, he must know something!"
But Qiu Yeqing said calmly, "Even if he does know something, there’s nothing we can do.
The aura he exuded just now was vastly different from the cold aura enveloping this mountain, so he should have nothing to do with that beast.
According to the latest information from our sect, that beast should be an ancient demon beast that has revived from sealing.
In addition to the disappearance of Nephew Yang, who came to exorcise demons earlier, most likely things do not bode well for him. Junior brothers and sisters, everyone be careful."
The group nodded.
Qiu Yeqing rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful: "Still, I didn’t expect there to be such a master here at the border of Lie Country..."
The female cultivator from earlier asked, "Senior Brother Qiu, is he really strong?"
Qiu Yeqing pondered for a while and said, "Although the exchange was too brief just now, I couldn’t discern his realm either.
But at that moment when he made a move, I surprisingly felt a bit of the astonishment I feel facing Senior Brother Hua..."
Everyone was shocked: "What, he can be compared to Senior Brother Hua?"
Hua Tiandu, the True Yang Sect’s strongest Sunburned, a super expert in whom Sword Yang and Qi Yang are perfectly blended.
Since the rise of the Beast Tribulation, he has slain no fewer than two resurrected Great Demons and is now one of the "Daoist Ten Heroes" of the Southern Continent!
"It’s just a slight feeling, so it’s hard to say." Qiu Yeqing waved his hand and said to the others, "Let’s not discuss this any further, let’s go, and first hunt down that ancient beast!"
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
...
In a certain mountain range of the Southern Continent.
A tall and slender man and a six or seven-year-old child were speeding through a dense forest full of poison mist and swamps.
Suddenly, the child paused, and his face turned pale after a muffled groan!
"Huh?!"
The child clutched his chest, gasping heavily with wide-open eyes.
The tall, slender man beside him immediately asked, "What’s wrong, Nine Infants?"
"Damn it!" The child’s face turned somber, green flames of cold light in his eyes burning, "One of the clones I left in a small northern human country has been destroyed!"
"Oh? Is that so..." The tall, slender man’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Even if it’s just one clone of Nine Infants, with slightly lacking intelligence and only at the Chongyang Realm in cultivation.
But its physical resistance is extremely high and is adept at soul attacks, it wouldn’t even fear facing a Three Suns Realm opponent!
To unexpectedly be killed in such a remote place?
The tall, slender man frowned. Losing a clone would also impact Nine Infants’ strength somewhat.
Especially at this time, the opponent they were going to deal with was no simple target...
"Truly... seeking death!"
Nine Infants’ expression turned grim, furrowed brows seemed to be contemplating something.
And the skilled male instantly understood what revengeful thoughts he was considering.
The tall, slender man said, "We’ve almost circled around to Golden Bell Valley, let’s first resolve the target person, and then it won’t be too late to kill him afterward."
Upon hearing this, a dark gleam flickered in Nine Infants’ eyes, and after contemplating for a good while, he responded in a deep voice, "Fine, let’s go!"
