Dragon Tamer
Chapter 962 - Chapter 962 Chapter 966 Sweeping the Mountain

Chapter 962: Chapter 966 Sweeping the Mountain Chapter 962: Chapter 966 Sweeping the Mountain Before leaving, Zhu Minglang swept through the Hidden Fog Sect’s Spirit Fruits, Divine Spring, and Immortal Roots, and he couldn’t help grinding his teeth at the thought of the abundant Spirit Roots produced here each year.

When the time was right, he would still need to quickly take control of Dragon Tail Mountain. What if one day, Xuan Wu and Qin Xiang were bullied? After all, there existed a contract between them similar to the bond of kinship.

“We need to pass through this Ancient Mountain. The direction should be correct, and hopefully, we won’t end up on some strange and peculiar continent,” Zhu Minglang said.

The seas near Dragon Tail Mountain had many ancient mountains floating, which would change location with the tides, like an ancient mountain fog array, isolating the outside world and at the same time, sheltering the inhabitants of Dragon Tail Mountain.

Waiting for the tides, Queen Xuan Wu earnestly discerned the mountain ranges that emerged in the sea.

“It’s this one. Be careful on the way, as there are also Ancient Species in the ancient mountains,” said Queen Xuan Wu.

“Don’t worry, nothing unexpected will happen… Xuan Wu, if I die on the journey of cultivation, you don’t need to guard my spirit here, nor do you need to think about taking back Dragon Tail Mountain. Go wherever you want,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.

Through Xuan Wu’s Dream World, Zhu Minglang had still seen some of the circumstances of this Black Phoenix-robed woman, gaining a deeper understanding of her…

“I will take revenge for you, then make my own choices,” Xuan Wu replied seriously.

“Alright, let’s go… I’ve been here so long, and I haven’t seen you smile. Smile for me,” Zhu Minglang said.

Xuan Wu was startled and then slowly revealed a smile, albeit a bit stiff. Despite the black silk veil covering her face, she was beautiful indeed, yet lacking a bit of vitality and life.

“Sigh, I have a task for you,” Zhu Minglang sighed.

“Okay,” Xuan Wu became serious again.

“Although I don’t know when I can formally return, practice smiling more. It doesn’t matter whether Dragon Tail Mountain is purified or not, I hope to see your smile blooming like the dawn when I come back next time.”

After saying this, Zhu Minglang waved his hand and bid farewell to Queen Xuan Wu.

Xuan Wu kept her bow of respect, pondering whether Zhu Minglang’s words contained other meanings, while she watched Zhu Minglang and Cai You leave.

After Zhu Minglang and Cai You had disappeared in the mists, Xuan Wu attempted to lift the corners of her mouth again, then touched her cheeks with her hand.

Could it be that her smile was indeed unattractive?

Did Our God prefer women who smiled?

How should she practice it?

…

Following the damp soil, they entered the Ancient Mountain.

As soon as they entered the mountain range, the path behind them was submerged by the Sea of Nothingness, and the dense fog seemed like walls of time and space, blocking off Dragon Tail Mountain. Trying to return there was no longer an easy task.

“Here, eat a Fog Ginseng Fruit for nourishment,” Zhu Minglang took out a Fog Ginseng Fruit and handed it to his female attendant, Cai You.

Xuan Wu cast a spell to make Cai You temporarily forget her sorrow and pain, not to erase her memory completely but to help her adapt to her new life.

“Mhm.” Cai You took the fruit and bit into it sweetly.

Cai You was not old and exuded youthful vitality, which she couldn’t feel when immersed in hatred. After Xuan Wu sealed her memories of hate, Cai You became noticeably more cheerful and lively.

The two walked through a field of fog flowers when suddenly someone approached from the opposite direction.

The three were actually very close, but the strange fog prevented all Divine Sense and Divine Feelings, so in such a place, people had to be close to be barely seen.

“Who are you!” The man had an extremely high forehead, which, if slicker, would resemble a longevity peach atop his head.

“And who might you be?” Zhu Minglang retorted.

The man with the high forehead scanned them and saw Zhu Minglang and Cai You holding half-eaten Fog Ginseng Fruits.

“Despicable, you’re the thieves who stole our Fog Ginseng Fruits, who gave you the audacity to provoke our Hidden Fog Gate!!!” The high-foreheaded man roared immediately.

These past days, Tang Man had been running all over the Ancient Mountain to kill immortal doves that had stolen the Fog Ginseng Fruits. For this, Tang Man had even been injured.

Returning to the sect with pride and satisfaction, he did not expect to collide head-on with two thieves who were the real culprits, not the immortal doves…

In exterminating them, wouldn’t he lose virtue?

Anger overwhelmed Tang Man, and pointing his finger at Zhu Minglang and Cai You, he said, “I will chop you both up and use you as fertilizer in the orchard!”

With that, Tang Man charged at them. As he swung his hand, it instantly turned into a fierce Divine Eagle, pouncing upon Zhu Minglang and Cai You.

“Whoosh!!”

Suddenly, an arrow whistled through the air, instantly killing the ferocious Divine Eagle that the palm force had conjured. The arrow pierced through Tang Man’s entire arm before knocking him to the ground.

“Ahhh!!!! May you all die a horrible death, may you all die a horrible death!!!!” Tang Man cried out in agony as he rolled on the ground.

Zhu Minglang had just been considering which of the Dragon Babies to let come out and give this annoying guy a good thrashing when Cai You neatly and swiftly took him down.

In Cai You’s hands was a Phoenix Tail Black Bow, which she must have produced at some point. She stood upright and proud, pulling the bowstring with one hand, the arrows seemingly forming out of the surrounding mist flowers.

“To offend Our God is an unforgivable sin!” Cai You said coldly, then released her fingers, sending another mist-formed arrow flying, which precisely entered Tang Man’s peach-shaped forehead.

“Our… Our God??” Tang Man looked at Zhu Minglang in disbelief as his body also began to fall backward.

Tang Man lay on the ground, his body mingling with the mud, and the arrow in his forehead slowly transformed into a vibrant mist flower.

This Tang Man, his cultivation base wasn’t low, either.

But in front of Cai You, he was like a talking target.

Of course, Zhu Minglang wouldn’t let Tang Man go back to the Hidden Fog Sect to send a message, so letting him die here and turn into flower mud to nourish the mist flowers at the foot of the Ancient Mountain seemed like a fitting end.

Actually, Tang Man was quite lucky.

If Cai You hadn’t acted quickly, he would probably have been torn apart by Zhu Minglang’s dragons, an undoubtedly more gruesome and painful fate.

“This Ancient Mountain seems to have an abundance of Spirit Roots,” said Zhu Minglang as he walked along, sensing the rich Spirit Root aura.

The wild fruits all contained Spiritual Energy no less potent than the Ten Thousand Year Silver Fir Holy Dew, and the ferocious beasts inhabiting the Ancient Mountain had clearly all cultivated for more than ten thousand years.

“Come out and get some fresh air,” said Zhu Minglang, tossing his hand, and opened his Spirit Realm, releasing all the Dragon Babies.

The once spacious clearing in Forest Mountain was suddenly filled with the bulky bodies of the Dragon Beasts, especially the Yama Dragon whose belly only reached the top of the ancient towering trees.

“Begin the Mountain Sweep!” declared Zhu Minglang.

As he spoke, each dragon burst in eight different directions.

The Thunder Emperor Purple Dragon was the first to reach the skies, flying towards the floating vines connected to the clouds.

The Refining Ash Black Dragon burrowed into the primeval giant forest and began chasing the sacred beasts, feasting on them.

The Little Gold Dragon and Peach Demon Deer Dragon siblings were inseparable. After the Little Gold Dragon had filled its belly in Forest Lake, it didn’t forget to drive away the fierce immortal birds, allowing the Peach Demon Deer Dragon to harvest the high-Spirit Root fruits.

Of course, the Nuwa Dragon would always follow these two baby dragons, as there were no shortages of Demon Gods and Sacred Beasts in the Ancient Mountain. Both of them hadn’t yet reached divine status and were easily endangered, so the Nuwa Dragon needed to keep an eye on them.

“Our God, you are a Dragon Shepherd,” observed Cai You, her face lighting up with surprise as she saw so many dragons rushing out all at once.

It was obvious that she really liked Zhu Minglang’s dragons; if the Spirit Glowing Dragon hadn’t slipped away quickly, Cai You would surely have buried the fluffy, extremely adorable Spirit Glowing Dragon in her arms to cuddle!

“Do you have Dragon Shepherds there?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Very few. Whenever a star village produces a Dragon Shepherd, it’s celebrated like a festival. Beyond Purple Star Village, there are wilderness mountains similar to the Ancient Mountain. Even a small elk can turn into a ferocious giant deer demon species upon reaching adulthood, costing us many lives each year. Dragons are deities to us. They represent the Mountain God, the Forest God, the River and Sea Gods, the Sky God. So, the people who can communicate with and harness the Dragon God are highly respected in our land, often becoming our supreme leaders,” Cai You explained.

“I’d like to visit your homeland someday,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Yes!” Cai You nodded, but it seemed as though the words had touched some sorrow deep in her heart. She shook her head, as if trying to hypnotize herself, burying the pain even deeper.

Wilderness mountains everywhere, land rich in Spiritual Roots.

This Mountain Sweep was truly satisfying!

It seemed that Hua Chou’s stewardship over Tianshu was indeed poor, with not many places truly rich in Spirit Roots.

Especially for someone like Zhu Minglang, at his current level, with each dragon a Dragon God, except for White Marsh, which still had some sweeping value, other places were really barren gullies that couldn’t even satisfy the hunger of his dragon pets.

Thankfully, the Seven God Territories bordered each other, or Zhu Minglang would truly be at a loss for suitable grazing lands.

The Ancient Mountain Range beyond Dragon Tail Mountain wasn’t bad either; it was ripe for a major harvest.

A Mountain Sweep meant plundering all the valuable Spirit Roots of that mountain range.

Generally, only when the number of dragons and their overall strength increased could one monopolize an area like this.

Of course, the term “Mountain Sweep” was typically used among major sects, which often required organizing a whole sect’s might just to sweep an entire Spiritual Mountain Range!

For Zhu Minglang to do a Mountain Sweep by himself was utterly preposterous.
