Chapter 381: Chapter 381 Appraisal (Please Subscribe)

Inside the Nine Palace Cave Heaven.

Taking advantage of the daylight, Feng Lei Huo sped through the air like lightning and soon arrived at a large camp.

Zhong Shenxiu looked around and saw that the camp was surrounded by dragons and tigers. The energy of the land converged there, carrying an extremely fierce array formation.

Once activated, even a Primordial Pill Master might not fare well.

Fearing to fly high in such a place, Feng Lei Huo landed on the ground and began to run wildly.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at a mountain gate.

Although newly made, the gate was towering and grand, inscribed with the words "Dragon Tiger Blessed Land."

"Hey? Isn’t that Brother Lu Qingzi’s Feng Lei Huo?"

A gatekeeping disciple laughed and asked, "He said he was going out to pick someone up earlier, why isn’t he here himself?"

Zhong Shenxiu dismounted Feng Lei Huo and saw the giant beast roll on the spot, suddenly shrinking into the size of a lion dog. He couldn’t help laughing, "I am Su Daoshi, here on orders to provide support, and additionally... Brother Lu Qingzi has fallen victim to the Heart Demon. Please report this, and have a Primordial Pill Elder come forward."

"What?"

The news was quite explosive, leaving the disciple somewhat incredulous.

"This is all true, please hurry and summon the elder." Nearby, the lion dog-sized Feng Lei Huo also spoke up, its voice deeply intoned.

"You all wait here."

The disciple took off running, not daring to activate the array.

A light of escape shot up, and before long, more and more lights of escape gathered, revealing many disciples of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Zhong Shenxiu saw some Gang Sha Cultivators and even Innate Martial Practitioners, either riding magic artifacts or using the Land Flying Technique, all rushing over.

’It seems these are either Outer Sect Disciples of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect or servants attending the Superpower Disciples and elders?’

"Brother Su."

Two lights of escape descended, revealing two acquaintances—Sima Shu and Lan Ying’er.

"Fellow brothers and sister, long time no see."

Zhong Shenxiu greeted them with a smile.

"Since we last parted, I was worried you might become disheartened and give up, Brother. Now seeing you unharmed brings me great joy," said Sima Shu, dressed like a scholar and displaying the demeanor of a learned man.

Lan Ying’er, still casual and outspoken, scolded another gatekeeping disciple, "Why don’t you open the array?"

"sister, please forgive me. This person previously encountered the Heart Demon, and without verifying his true identity, I really dare not be negligent,"

The gatekeeping disciple quickly bowed and responded.

"Evil Dao True Inheritor—Heart Demon!"

Lan Ying’er’s eyes lit up, "Junior brother, you actually managed to fight with that person? Has your Dao and mana improved so much?"

"Just by luck."

Zhong Shenxiu modestly replied, causing nearby Feng Lei Huo to unconsciously shrink its head.

It had truly witnessed the clash between the two, where their divine power and mana were both astonishingly immense, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas... it seemed even more formidable than some of the True Disciples of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Probably, only the astonishingly talented Dragon and Tiger True Man Zhang Taiyi from the old days could be compared.

’I’m just a beast, I won’t say anything...’

It lay on the ground, tucking in its head.

Before long, two terrifying presences suddenly descended, instantly locking down the airspace for tens of miles around.

The disciples with divine powers landed one by one and bowed to the two, saying, "Greetings, Elder!"

"Greetings, Master Ming Xue and Master Jiu Ru!"

Zhong Shenxiu also bowed and continued to lament inwardly.

Master Ming Xue had been injured previously, but now seemed to have recovered, still in the prime of life, without any trace of the extreme danger from when he had been injured, akin to a volcano about to erupt.

But Zhong Shenxiu knew it was merely the opponent suppressing that inhuman sensation with his cultivation, and if future calamities such as severe injuries or corruption by the Heart Demon occurred, things would still spiral out of control.

Master Jiu Ru’s long beard fluttered, and he had the appearance of someone of high moral standing, his eyes soft and yet covered with a layer of colorful glaze. He glanced at Zhong Shenxiu and did not overlook even the Wind Thunder Roar beside him.

This man possessed a spiritual eye divine power, which could see through any concealed foundation.

Now he slightly nodded, saying, "This person along with the Wind Thunder Roar, indeed have a pure and righteous aura, clearly not possessed by any demon. Alas... Lu Qingzi was unfortunate. No wonder he dare not show himself before us these days."

’Indeed... Master Jiu Ru can’t see through my Stealing Heaven and Changing Day Divine Ability simulating myriad transformations! Those eyes might as well not be there, should scoop them out...’

Zhong Shenxiu inwardly scoffed, then saw Master Ming Xue smiling at him and waving his hand to open the array.

He entered proudly, walking with Wind Thunder Roar to the presence of the two True People.

"I have heard about your matters from Chen Wenji’s message... Although the sect’s mandate was destroyed, you still came as ordered and did not shirk; you are a good child."

Master Ming Xue seemed to have a favorable impression of Su Daoshi, appreciating him greatly.

"Now, tell me what exactly happened before."

Master Jiu Ru’s expression turned icy as he suddenly waved his hand, creating a dreamlike mirage that separated Zhong Shenxiu from Wind Thunder Roar.

"The disciple arrived at the foot of Jiugong Mountain, lit the incense stick..."

Zhong Shenxiu naturally spilled everything out like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, "...that Heart Demon broke through my Nine Pure Immortal Light Protection Divine Power and attempted to seize my soul. Fortunately, my Dao heart remained firm, and after a fierce battle, I finally eradicated the Heart Demon..."

"Hiss..."

All the surrounding Divine Power disciples involuntarily gasped.

That Heart Demon was ranked among the True Disciples; ordinary Inner Sect Disciples could only look up to him.

And now, hearing Su Daoshi’s narration, the opponent had even mastered the Six Paths Reincarnation, the Great Destruction Demon Sword, as well as possessing First-class Divine Powers including the Heart Demon possession!

Perhaps, even ordinary True Disciples would meet their demise?

Lan Ying’er couldn’t help but whisper softly, "There are three True Disciples in our Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, with Zhong Wu elder brother stationed here, mastering the First-class Sleeve Universe Great Divine Power, but to contend with that Heart Demon... I fear..."

She saw Sima Shu glare at her, realizing that although Zhong Wu himself was not present, many of his loyal followers were, and it was not good to offend people rashly, thus she stuck out her tongue slightly.

"So it is..."

Master Ming Xue nodded his head.

Cultivation foundation could be measured; however, the Dao heart, an elusive entity, was difficult to grasp.

Zhong Shenxiu insisted that his Dao heart was firm and had slain the Heart Demon, now indeed not possessed, thus she could only believe him.

"Wind Thunder Roar said something similar."

Master Jiu Ru withdrew the mirage, saying indifferently, "This merit, I will remember... Su Daoshi."

"Disciple is here."

Zhong Shenxiu stepped forward.

"You have slain a True Disciple of the Evil Dao, this shall be recorded as a great merit, may you continue to strive..." Master Jiu Ru felt neither favor nor disfavor towards Su Daoshi, handling matters with impartiality, "you shall be the Dao General for our Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, leading the A-Shen Team, attend every day..."

After the Primordial Pill Elder finished speaking, he glanced around, "The spectacle is over, why not disperse? If you do not cultivate diligently, and one day your body perishes and soul vanishes, you’ll have no place to cry."

With his imposing authority, a group of disciples immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
