BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1744 – Quick, Save Zhou Huan!
Chapter 1744 – Quick, Save Zhou Huan!
“Bastard, where are you thinking of running to? Get over here now!” A True King’s projection scolded loudly. He had a gloomy expression on his face, feeling slightly embarrassed.
His apprentices and grandchildren were as timid as mice.
“Ah…it’s Old Ancestor!” The cultivator who was escaping suddenly looked delighted and he rushed over. ‘Thump!’ He knelt on the floor and said, “Wang Shan greets Old Ancestor!”
As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.
Old Ancestor Dao Yuanzong was so angry that he had to hold his breath. He kicked the disciple and he flipped onto the ground, “You’re a man, why are you crying? Speak properly!”
The disciple, who was familiar with the Old Ancestor’s temper and love of keeping up with appearances, regained his composure. He scolded himself internally for being so afraid that he lost his mind and quickly wiped his tears away. He then kowtowed respectfully and got up.
“Tell me, who did the Great Dao go to?”
The gazes gathered on him.
When would this little brat have experienced so many True Kings looking at him before? His mind went blank on the spot and his tongue got twisted.
Old Ancestor Dao Yuanzong frowned. Only after he waved his sleeve did this disciple recover and hurriedly reply, “Old Ancestor…I think it is Number 327 from that clan who got Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao.”
“What?” The eyes of that clan’s leader, who was already feeling disappointed, suddenly brightened. “Please say it clearly, how do you know about this?”
Wang Shan looked at his own Old Ancestor with an uneasy expression.
Old Ancestor Dao Yuanzong scoffed, “The clan leader asked you something, so just say it as it is. I am right here, naturally, I will make sure nothing happens to you.”
Bull Dingtian suddenly opened his mouth, “That’s right, little brat. Rest assured, just say it bravely!”
Wang Shan gritted his teeth and bowed, “Regarding this, the clan leader already knows everything. Since you want me to say it, I will report what happened truthfully.”
He gave a complete explanation of what happened at the canyon and the schemes of that clan.
“Every word I said is true. There are many fellow daoists who managed to escape alive. Fellow elders and old ancestors, if you do not believe me, you may ask them too!”
The air fell silent again.
That clan’s leader felt both angry and delighted at the same time.
He was angry because this bastard Dao Yuanzong had announced their schemes to everyone.
Around him, the gazes coming from those old farts became gloomy and filled with murderous intent.
However, the good news was that Number 327 managed to hold on until the very end. According to what Wang Shan said, Number 327 had truly managed to get Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao, which was why she was able to single-handedly besiege and kill everyone.
It was a pity that she was unable to directly kill everyone in the canyon. Otherwise, it would not have been so troublesome now.
Bull Dingtian scoffed, “Clan Leader, what good methods you have!”
A thought appeared in that clan’s leader’s mind and he said blandly, “After all, Sky Falling Mountain belonged to my clan. We opened it for the last time so that the Great Dao could find its master; of course we had to give it a go too. It’s good if one succeeds, but they should not have any regrets even if they failed. This is common logic.”
He did not explicitly admit to his schemes, but between the lines, he had already admitted to them.
This was because that clan’s leader knew very well that at this point, there was no way that he could detach himself from what he had done.
The key point was that Number 327 managed to get Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao!
This also meant that from now on, that clan had two True Kings backing it. With such powerful people on their side, so what if their schemes were exposed? They had already achieved their goal.
Out of everyone present, who would dare to hold that clan accountable! This was the power and weight that two True Kings held!
Bull Dingtian scoffed furiously. He looked extremely frustrated and annoyed on the outside, but on the inside, he snorted.
He felt that that clan was gloating too early.
This was because he had already sensed that the Great Dao Golden Armor’s aura had already left for somewhere far away, so far that it had gone outside of Long Mountain Area.
The Great Dao Golden Armor was complete and undamaged, which meant that Bull Bean was not hurt in any way, and only a True King was capable of covering such huge distances over such a short period of time. This also meant that Bull Bean was currently together with the person who had obtained Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao!
That clan’s Number 327? Ha! It definitely was not her!
It was a pity that to avoid suspicion, he could not leave as of yet. Otherwise, he would go over now to take a look at whether things had indeed gone the way he predicted.
That being had already taken action!
Shoosh –
Shoosh –
Shoosh –
More and more people escaped from Sky Falling Mountain.
The news that Wang Shan brought was further confirmed – the Great Dao had truly landed in that clan’s Number 327’s hands.
That clan’s leader tried his best to remain calm, but he could not hide the delight in his eyes at all.
Their True King Great Dao was lost but now it was regained, which helped that clan get out of its predicament. What a world of difference it made.
How could he remain calm?
The only thing that made the clan leader feel strange was that Number 327 had not shown herself yet.
Could it be that she was rushing to refine Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao?
Even though that clan’s leader wished that a True King would be reborn as soon as possible to share his burdens, he felt that now was not the best time to be refining the Great Dao.
Many True Kings had descended at the same time. No one could guarantee that accidents would not happen.
This situation was becoming urgent!
Sun Changqing and others escaped out of Sky Falling Mountain, but he did not go close to where the True Kings were. He only looked at them from afar with a cryptic expression in his eyes.
However, very quickly, he clenched his jaw and his eyes looked determined.
Whether he lived or died, became rich or poor, now was the time to take a gamble!
If there was something that he needed to discard, now was the time to do it decisively!
Otherwise, in this life, it would no longer be possible for him to ever step into the True King realm.
Sun Changqing raised his hands and quickly conjured a spell. Then, he used his sleeve to propel it outwards.
With a gloomy expression and an unfriendly aura, True King Qiongji suddenly frowned. The next moment, a ball of brilliance exploded in the depths of his eyes.
“Since it has already been confirmed who the Great Dao has gone to, I will take my leave first.” When he finished speaking, he turned to leave and instantly disappeared.
This scene made the other True Kings frown internally, especially that clan’s leader. He conjured his divine sense to sense his surroundings and a piercing coldness appeared in his eyes. If Qiongji dared to do anything to Number 327 in secret and ruin her Great Dao, he was not going to let him off!
However, Qiongji had really left just like that, to someplace out of Sky Falling Mountain.
Everyone could not understand Qiongji’s actions, but this was indeed what happened, so no one paid any more attention to it.
Number 327 still had not yet returned.
That clan’s leader was now completely focused on this point.
Long Mountain Area, atop a barren mountain.
Whoosh –
True King Qiongji appeared out of thin air. Opposite him was Sun Changqing.
“Greetings, True King Qiongji!”
He bowed respectfully to greet the True King.
There was a brilliance in True King Qiongji’s eyes as he said in a low voice, “Heavenlifting, is what you said true? Are you sure there is an aura of a Longevity Species on him?”
‘Sun Changqing’ nodded his head vigorously, “If I was not sure of it, I wouldn’t dare to report it to a True King.”
“Great!”
True King Qiongji laughed, his face full of ecstasy and his eyes full of heat.
Longevity Species…even if it was in an incomplete state, to him, it was still a realm that he had dreamed of for a long time.
Furthermore, it was just right!
If it was a Longevity Species in a complete state that was standing right in front of him, he would not dare to do anything to it at all.
“Heavenlifting, I promise you that as long as what you said is true, I will try my best to help you become a True King!”
‘Sun Changqing’ hurriedly bowed and thanked him, “Thank you, True King Qiongji.”
Deep down in his heart, he felt a bit of regret and helplessness.
A Longevity Species!
These were true eternal and immortal creatures that coexisted with the heavens and earth.
They were not at all like that cursed and strange existence from that clan. They were the most powerful and respectable creatures in this world.
Only True Kings could get a chance to transform into a Longevity Species.
His current cultivation level was not good enough!
Furthermore, the other party’s power and the existence of that Longevity Species had exceeded the limit of what ‘Sun Changqing’ could handle.
Otherwise, he definitely would not have told this to True King Qiongji in exchange for his promise.
With a smug and impatient expression, True King Qiongji asked, “Heavenlifting, where are they?”
‘Sun Changqing’ bowed and replied, “I’ve already secretly planted a strand of my divine sense on one of them. It will help us determine their location.
“However, the only trouble is that Bull Dingtian’s granddaughter Bull Bean is among them. If you and I make our move, it will alert Bull Dingtian. I’m afraid that would not be good.”
True King Qiongji frowned. Bull Dingtian!
The power of this number one rogue cultivator exceeded his expectations.
Even though True King Qiongji had always been confident of his own killing power, he did not have the confidence that he could face Bull Dingtian head-on.
After he thought for a bit, his expression suddenly became more relaxed. “It’s okay, before I left the Thirteenth Floor, to prevent any accidents from happening, I received a Boundary Ring from the Floor Master. When this treasure is used, it can lock onto a fixed space, create a world out of it, and pull this newly-created world into a Bounded Void Space. Even True Kings will not be able to locate it!”
‘Sun Changqing’ was ecstatic. “Then, our plan would be failproof!”
He got up and continued, “It’s not too late. I will set off immediately to find them. True King Qiongji, you can follow my aura and descend directly to where they are.”
He was afraid that if he let True King Qiongji know about their whereabouts in advance, he would be left behind while the True King stole whatever he wanted by himself.
After all, there was not just one True King in the Thirteenth Floor.
An unhappy look flashed past True King Qiongji’s eyes, but he still nodded his head, “Okay!”
In all honesty, he would never tell the Thirteenth Floor about this.
This was because the Floor Master had been stuck at the True King realm for many years and could not make that last step to transform into a Longevity Species.
If Qiongji let the Thirteenth Floor know about this, he would lose this opportunity completely.
‘Sun Changqing’ bowed once again. In the next moment, he closed his eyes and opened them again. There was suddenly a frightful expression on his face. “True King Qiongji, please show mercy, I will never tell this to anyone else!”
True King Qiongji stretched his arm out and slapped.
Slap –
Sun Changqing turned into a pile of meat paste and his soul scattered and flew away.
This matter was of utmost importance since it concerned a Longevity Species. He could not afford a single mistake.
And in this world, the only people who could truly keep a secret were the dead!
……
On the summit of Sweeping Clouds Peak.
Whoosh –
Heavenlifting Master opened his eyes. ‘Ka-cha!’ A snapping sound was produced from the ancient scholartree behind him. Most of the branches and leaves instantly withered.
Sun Changqing was dead!
He had already known that this would happen, so he did not feel shocked.
Furthermore, Heavenlifting Master was completely not in the mood to care about whether Sun Changqing lived or died.
He was just a disciple; how could he be qualified enough to be compared to his mighty self!
Taking a deep breath, Heavenlifting Master stomped on the ground heavily and shot into the sky. ‘Hong-long-long!’ Beneath him, Sweeping Clouds Peak rumbled deafeningly. Then, like an enormous torch, it was set on fire.
The flames reached the skies!
All the living creatures on Sweeping Clouds Peak were buried in this sea of flames and none of them survived.
Conjuring these flames was Heavenlifting Master’s last and strongest trump card – by igniting his own dao foundation, he could buy a little time to fill in the gap in his Great Dao, making his power comparable to that of a True King.
As for those living creatures that died in the flames, they were also a part of this exchange ceremony.
Power, incomparably strong power, surged in his body.
Heavenlifting Master punched outwards and the sky was directly shattered. Then, his figure rushed through the opening in the sky!
Now, he was a True King.
Even though the Central Desolate Divine Area was huge, a True King could descend at any time.
At this moment, he had already locked onto that strand of divine sense.
True King Qiongji, who was silent on that barren hill in Long Mountain Area, suddenly lifted his head and his eyes shone brightly.
Heavenlifting Master had made his move!
He stepped out and disappeared into thin air.
……
In Qin Yu’s soul space, on the surface of the purple moon that rose in the east and set in the west, Rourou’s figure appeared and her lips curled up into a cold smile.
Qin Yu had already gotten Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao and if he completely refined it, he could truly become a True King.
But even if that was the case, his future achievements would be limited and he would no longer have the possibility of breaking through again. Just like how Wei Han had inherited the sword dao that she gave to him, Rourou naturally would not allow this to happen to Qin Yu.
Therefore, after obtaining Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao, there was another key step.
It was precisely because of this that when Qin Yu realized his connection with Number 327 in Sky Falling Mountain, which caused his mind to be shaken for a bit, Rourou purposely released a bit of her aura for ‘Sun Changqing’ to discover.
At that time, he was just hiding in the dark and decided not to act.
Now, her setup was complete!
“Qin Yu!”
She suddenly called.
In the outside world, Qin Yu’s face changed suddenly. He abruptly looked up and said, “Bull Bean, help me take care of her. Before I return, she is not allowed to go anywhere!”
Then, he pushed Number 327 outwards. With a wave of his sleeve, he directly sent Bull Bean and the others away.
In the next moment, the sky above him shattered.
Heavenlifting Master walked out first. The aura around him flowed outwards endlessly and the suppression of a True King swept out in all directions.
In just a moment, it almost caused the heavens and earth to collapse.
Following closely behind him was True King Qiongji. His eyes were heated and full of greed as he stared at Qin Yu.
Heavenlifting Master nodded, “Yes, that’s him!”
True King Qiongji flicked his finger and a golden halo flew out. In an instant, it grew a thousandfold, wrapping around this space.
Then, everything in this space fell silent.
The shattered sky and earth maintained its broken appearance. Countless fragments lingered in mid-air, giving people an extremely strange feeling.
“Let’s go into the Bounded Void Space!”
Whilst laughing, True King Qiongji stepped outwards and then, him, Heavenlifting Master, and Qin Yu disappeared at the same time.
Just a few moments after three of them disappeared, the space shattered again as Bull Dingtian descended from the sky. There were a few True Kings following closely behind him.
Heavenlifting Master suddenly went berserk and ignited his dao foundation to enter the True King realm for a while. There was also True King Qiongji who descended here too. There must be something else to this!
However, evidently, they were too late. The other parties’ auras had already disappeared and they were completely unable to detect them.
“The Thirteenth Floor’s Boundary Ring!”
Bull Dingtian’s voice was ice cold. However, his face slightly changed and now he looked delighted.
Whoosh –
His figure disappeared and reappeared in front of Bull Bean.
Seeing Bull Dingtian who had suddenly appeared in front of her, Bull Bean, who was extremely worried and anxious, wailed loudly and said, “Old Ancestor, quick, save Zhou Huan!”
