Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Inquiry (Additional update for last month’s monthly ticket)

"Su Daoshi... come back, come back!"

Huang Xie’s furious roar transmitted through, his voice gradually weakening.

"Gone? That’s good..."

Moments later, the anger on his face disappeared, replaced by a calm demeanor. In reality, Huang Xie was well aware that his previous defeat was truly due to being outclassed in skill.

In terms of cultivation level, Divine Skills, and Mana, he was inferior to others. Had it not been for the life-saving Divine Skills bestowed by the sect, he might have fallen then and there.

If it were to happen again... he probably still wouldn’t be able to win.

But as a disciple of the Demon Sect, lose to a man, never to the formation!

Thus, knowing he was unmatched, he still challenged boldly!

"Fortunately... I had noticed a naive and weak side to this person’s character early on. This time, he must have been concerned about his junior brothers and sisters?"

Huang Xie smirked wickedly.

Once his Six Paths Reincarnation and Yellow Springs True Water were deployed, the range of effect was terrifying.

If a real battle had ensued, Su Daoshi wouldn’t have cared, but those disciples would likely have been annihilated.

In his view, the other party fled in haste, concerned about this very issue.

"Ha ha... I managed to drive off Su Daoshi and reclaim some face. When I get back, let’s see who dares to treat me—I’ll feed them straight to the Demon Dragon!"

He arrived at the Yellow Earth Plateau and began motioning the spell.

From within the Yellow Springs True Water, the Nine Nether Demon Dragon emerged, slowly drawing in the demonic energy from beneath this plateau.

’In this Nine Palace Cave Heaven, I wonder which Demon Immortal ancestor is sealed. Just a trace of his aura leaking possesses such power, enough to increase the strength of my Divine Skills by several degrees...’

Huang Xie, carefree, began to cultivate the Demon Skill directly.

Having a thorough understanding of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, he knew only Zhong Wu among the True Disciples could threaten him.

And perhaps Su Daoshi from a moment ago.

But if those two teamed up, and he focused solely on escaping, they still couldn’t hold him.

Unless the Primordial Pill didn’t make a move, he, Huang Xie, the prodigal son of Yellow Spring, would definitely not capsize.

’Heh... fighting and killing, how is that as important as advancing my cultivation?’

Huang Xie, smug in his thoughts, couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "Once my Divine Skills are complete, I will..."

"What then..."

A curious voice suddenly resounded around him.

"Who is there?"

Huang Xie leaped in fright, his whole body’s hairs standing on end, and without thinking, he tried to activate his Demon Skill to escape.

Being within the guard of the Yellow Springs True Water, for someone to approach him silently to within a few feet meant assassinating him wouldn’t be a problem.

As a true inheritor of the Yellow Spring Demon Sect, Huang Xie’s combat experience was exceedingly rich.

While preparing to escape, he started to release the Six Paths Reincarnation Great Divine Power to delay his enemy.

Next, he saw the black holes representing the Six Paths Reincarnation, as though kneaded by an invisible giant hand in the void, suddenly shrank to the size of a chicken egg.

Huang Xie looked at the six chicken egg-sized black holes in his hand, his mind seemingly frozen.

His Escape Skill also failed. Looking ahead at a white-haired demon shadow, he spoke word by word, "Primordial Pill Master?!"

"Kid, didn’t the Yellow Spring Demon Sect teach you manners?"

Zhong Shenxiu’s eyes flicked, and with a casual slap,

All the Yellow Springs True Water, Nine Nether Demon Dragons were dispelled, Huang Xie himself was slapped into the ground, falling into a large Yellow Earth pit, like a trapped toad.

"Greetings, Real One."

Huang Xie quickly pondered the old monsters of the Evil Dao and the Five Lotus Sect and immediately recalled some intelligence and understood.

This was the shameless old monster from the Primordial Pill, who ambushed the Divine Skills Disciple of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect!

The Devil Sect had also received the news early, naturally.

Especially these disciples swore secretly never to provoke that man.

After all, being a shameless old monster from the Primordial Pill was too terrifying.

Even the madmen from the No-Life Killing Sect only killed peers at most; they would have been crushed to bones if they had tried anything beyond their realm.

The old monster before him was neither entirely righteous nor evil, his stance uncertain and his temperament even more elusive.

If he was prone to whims, one wrong answer could cost him his life.

Beads of cold sweat the size of peas rolled down Huang Xie’s forehead.

"Do not worry, I have some connections with the Demon Path..." Zhong Shenxiu smiled reassuringly, "Having been utterly bored recently, I sneaked into this Grotto Heaven to witness the great war between the righteous and the demonic, truly fascinating, truly fascinating..."

Huang Xie thought that the more he said, the more mistakes he could make, so he said nothing and showed an awkward yet polite smile, his expression suggesting he would agree with whatever was said.

"But... this generation of yours is really disappointing. So many days of fighting, but not even one true inheritor of the righteous path has been killed, which is seriously disgraceful for our Demon Path."

Zhong Shenxiu changed his tone.

Huang Xie felt like weeping but had no tears: ’We too want to kill, but the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect has only three true inheritors, only Zhong Wu came, and he’s tightly hidden in the Dragon Tiger Blessed Land. How do we combat Primordial Pills and Primordial Spirits...’

"Hehe, it’s not your fault for the lack of victory in battle."

Zhong Shenxiu lightly pointed a finger at Huang Xie’s forehead.

Although Huang Xie wanted to resist, there was no way to, and he resigned himself to his fate.

Immediately, his expression changed: "This is..."

"This is the array of the Dragon Tiger Blessed Land, including the directions of the surrounding earth veins and all its variations; everything is in this array map now..."

Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily: "I am good at escape skills and have some grudges with the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect; this feat now benefits you."

"This truly is a great achievement."

Huang Xie murmured.

As for whether it might be a tactic of using suffering to entice the enemy, he considered it, but that was a matter for the higher-ups of the Devil Sect.

All he had to do was report the situation here, and he would definitely receive some credit for it.

"All right, I’ve been in seclusion for a long time and am unaware of the current state of the world."

Zhong Shenxiu waved his sleeve, asking carelessly, "That Yan Han Emperor stirred up quite the event... I wonder how the Yellow Spring Demon Sect and other demon paths are preparing to respond?"

’You, an old monster of the Primordial Pill, surely have your own channels for news, so why ask a disciple with Divine Skills?’

Huang Xie cursed inwardly, but knowing that some old monsters of the Primordial Pill were capricious or even insanely spirited, he replied respectfully, "Although our six paths of the Devil Sect are denounced by the court as heretical, our roots still lie in the Supreme Celestial, holding reverence for the heavens and the ancestral law, daring not to blaspheme the Tao... If Yan Han dares to do this, we certainly cannot coexist with him."

"And the current leader of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, Qingwei Dao Miao Zhenjun, acts arbitrarily alone, even creating friction with the Miao Ji Zhen Sect and the Taiping Sect... If not for the talented people in the court and the support of Outer World Buddhism, we could surely overturn Changluo."

"Moreover, there are rumors lately... The court seems to want to ally with the sects of the East Sea, conferring titles to the head of the East Sea sects such as the Penglai Sword Sect, Japan Sea Pavilion, and Fangcun Spirit Mountain, granting them land in Central Earth to establish schools and spread their teachings in the Central Plains..."

...

Huang Xie was indeed worthy of being a true disciple of the Devil Sect, possessing some intelligence that even Zhong Shenxiu was not aware of.

Of course, he guessed that the Primordial Spirit Ancestors, Primordial Pill Old Monsters, and even Zhong Wu in the Dragon Tiger Blessed Land knew as well, but simply chose not to tell ordinary disciples.

’Has the struggle in the outside world become so fierce already?’

’Next, could it be that... there will be great chaos under the heavens?’
