Chapter 307: Chapter 293: Charging the Mountain

The Divine Text Experts slowly narrated the process of encountering the Blood of Tyranny.

“His path is completely different from ours, he didn’t even participate in our trial.”

“We only know that he seems to hold Zhou Leng in high regard and has obtained the translation of the Basic Cultivation Technique.”

…

The Grandmaster Special Envoys questioned for a while longer and then asked the Divine Text Experts to leave.

“Old Chen, what’s the deal with this Zhou Leng?” Everyone looked towards Chen Changyi at the Shuizhou Demon City base.

The Grandmaster Special Envoys, holding key positions, quickly realized there was something amiss with Zhou Leng’s records, as they were as clean as pure water, clearly altered internally.

“I can’t say.” Chen Changyi responded.

The Grandmaster Special Envoys immediately understood that Zhou Leng was very likely added to the Great Wall Shield or other special lists.

“What’s with the Blood of Tyranny? Why was he allowed to enter the Ancient River Trial? I need to report this to the higher-ups.”

“I also think indulging the Blood of Tyranny is inappropriate, we have yet to pursue his father’s betrayal, let alone the fact he killed and severely injured many of us on the battlefield.”

Chen Changyi slowly said, “The matter of Zhong Wenzhao, the Demon City Army has yet to reach a conclusion, we can only prove he was coerced into marrying the Mermaid Princess, unable to prove betrayal.”

“Zhong Wenzhao was your old regiment commander, it’s natural for you to say that.”

Chen Changyi was silent, looking ahead, the image and voice of a good friend appeared before his eyes.

That person, fierce and resolute on the battlefield, courteous and gentle in life. During rest, his favorite thing was to recite poetry.

In the minds of the entire regiment, that man, nearly perfect, was captured by a Sea Siren and disappeared without a trace.

Years later, it was learned that Zhong Wenzhao married the Mermaid Princess.

No one was willing to accept this news, they would rather hear of his death.

Until learning that Zhong Wenzhao died in the Sea Siren’s internal conflict, the former comrades finally breathed a long sigh.

The Blood of Tyranny is the bloodline of an old comrade.

Also a Sea Siren.

Fierce Beast World.

A group of Eight-toothed Mammoths charged into the enemy Fierce Beast Tribe, wreaking havoc and looting massively.

Numerous precious medicinal fruits scattered all around, even encountering destruction.

A yellow shadow followed, jumping around behind the Eight-toothed Mammoths, not minding those damaged medicinal fruits at all, swallowing them down with relish.

Ordinary beasts couldn’t bear the potent medicinal power, but in Huang’s eyes, snowflakes flew, and all the medicinal fruits consumed would be converted into gentle medicinal power, blending into its body.

Huang’s body swelled visibly, its skin under the dog fur began to slowly become armored.

Before long, the Eight-toothed Mammoths successfully occupied a new territory.

They raised their trunks, howling a long howl, declaring their sovereignty.

From then on, this area at the valley’s mouth belonged to the Eight-toothed Mammoth Tribe.

Hundred Peaks Valley, Demon Alliance Camp.

In the morning, the demons moved forward in a disorderly formation.

Giant Dragons flew in the sky, Beastmen served as scouts in the front.

Zhou Leng advanced amidst the main force with over four hundred demons.

The Ice Snow Divine Sect, Hanging Moon Legion, and Shen Jun’s Demon Worshipers shielded Zhou Leng.

The Hanging Moon Legion is the direct legion of the Pale Queen, Lord of the twelfth level of Demon Purgatory, and the Hanging Moon Mountain Range. They maintain good relations with the Ice Snow Divine Sect, which consists largely of Ice Demons.

Last night, after four Ice Demons returned, learning that the Ice Snow Divine Sect had a High Priest, they came to visit and agreed to advance and retreat together today.

Shen Jun and his Demon Worshipers had no choice but to comply.

Yesterday’s slaughter was instigated by him and the Molten Fire.

So many demons died, and the remaining demons didn’t dare to confront Zhou Leng, they would only take it out on him.

He hadn’t dared to stray far from Zhou Leng since last night, following diligently.

Not far away, a team of Beastmen occasionally glanced at Zhou Leng.

“This Guan Canglong is too arrogant, he actually killed a Beastman prince yesterday.”

“Forget it, don’t let him hear it, we can’t provoke him.”

“Let’s wait until the Barbarian Star Axe arrives, right now we’re out of options.”

“How does he compare with the Barbarian Star Axe?”

“Nonsense, the Barbarian Star Axe’s Demigod bloodline is pure, ranked in the top five of the youth list, even the Deep Dark Fury respects him, what does this mere Demonized Martial Artist have to compare?”

“Hope the Barbarian Star Axe comes quickly to crush his arrogance. Damn it, he was simply insane yesterday.”

“I suspect he kills demons for loot, just think, he’s more adept at extracting Magic Spirit Bags than at fighting.”

“Not likely, he’s so powerful, he wouldn’t be so money-minded.”

“Right, never underestimate an opponent, first learn to respect your opponent, only then can you defeat them.”

The team advanced, Zhou Leng chatted with the Snow Mountain Rock and others about the Demon Spirit World or Demon Purgatory matters.

To them, it was domestic trivia, to Zhou Leng, it was a source of intelligence.

These people always inadvertently revealed crucial information.

To earn trust, Shen Jun also deliberately leaked information.

“The Huang Meng Sect and the Hell Knight Order have been gathering forces these days. Without surprises, they will take action soon…”

“People say the Demon Worship Sect members are lunatics, but actually the Huang Meng Sect and the Hell Knight Order are the real madmen. Even the fanatics from the Temple of Despair and Heterodox Sanctuary often repent that their faith is not as firm as the Huang Meng Sect and the Hell Knight Order, which shows how terrifying they are.”

“I don’t actually want to stay in the Dragon Country Demon Worship Sect, the Dragon Country is too powerful, a slight mistake and one might face utter ruin, with many brothers in the sect facing annihilation.”

“If you go to other countries, you’ll truly enjoy life, who cares if you worship demons or not? With money and power, everyone is a good brother.”

“If you can go to some small countries, I’ll immediately be a person of high status and directly take a position in the Martial Mansion.”

“Let me tell you, do not let this slip out. It is said, and I can only say it’s said, that the Headless God from a few days ago in Rucheng was just a bait set up by the Huang Meng Sect to kill someone they wanted dead. But we can’t quite figure out who exactly.”

“What about the treasure that the Grandmasters are fighting over?” Zhou Leng asked.

“My master mentioned it; this is not a setup, it’s real, and moreover it’s a Stellar Treasure that came from outer space. All major forces have gone mad vying for it, and now a Martial Saint has secretly joined in. Unfortunately, nobody knows exactly what it is; they only know it’s extremely important.”

…

Snow Mountain Rock talked for a while about the Ice Snow Divine Sect, then said: “Sir, I suggest you come to the Ice Snow Divine Sect during the grand festival, and participate in it. You might obtain greater benefits then.”

“I’m not sure about that,” Zhou Leng said.

“The grand festival is also known as the Festival of the God of Ice and Snow, an ancient statutory holiday in the Demon Spirit World, and it is the most important festival for our Ice Snow Divine Sect.”

“For the grand festival, the Ice Snow Divine Sect will conduct various sacrifices to invoke numerous powers.”

“When you take part in the ceremony to officially appoint High Priests, you will surely gain extra powers.”

“I previously mentioned the Jade Wings and other Giant Dragons joining the Ice Snow Divine Sect was also for these powers.”

“I need to arrange my time for this,” Zhou Leng said.

Shen Jun looked at Zhou Leng and said: “Sir, after you become Innate, if you go to the Tree-man World, don’t forget to find a Demon Spirit Master to buy some Light Spirit Balls; the Tree-men are very fond of them.”

“Mm.”

Shen Jun continued to gossip: “My mentor said, after becoming Innate, the most important thing is ’life-saving protection.’ First, cultivate the Rejuvenation Skill to gain strong healing abilities; that’s crucial. Even if you don’t get the Tree-man’s heart, buying more Water of Life can enhance the Rejuvenation Skill. Without the Rejuvenation Skill, the body is too fragile…”

This team of over four hundred people proceeded smoothly, arriving at Monster Snake Mountain, and began climbing upward.

Near the top, the team halted.

Zhou Leng stood on the slope, gazing toward the summit.

Some strange exotic beasts were playing and wandering around.

These monsters shared the common trait of having bodies like snakes, but their other features were all jumbled messes.

Some had flying wings allowing them to glide at low altitudes; some were covered with centipede-like thin legs; some stood upright like humans; some were covered with hair, bizarre and unique.

These strange snakes emitted a peculiar bloody aura, filled with unique oppressive force.

At the same time, the blood inside seemed to swell like a tide, arousing indescribable heat and desire.

On this mountain, it seemed to hide the treasure I needed most.

At the mountaintop, piercing cries erupted one after another, and the strange snakes gathered, standing at the peak, looking downward.

A group of Great Snake Monsters radiating strong oppressive power stood on the edge, gazing towards the sky.

Above, apart from the dozen or so Giant Dragons, a few Flying Demons were flying as well.

A massive Demon Dragon swiftly approached from afar; although it was just one dragon, its momentum was expansive, like a hundred dragons flying in attack.

“Kill them all, seize the Dragon Blood Flower!”

Deep Dark Fury roared.

“Kill!”

“Kill!” the numerous demons shouted.

The Teller of Death shouted loudly: “Watch your formation! All demons, protect the Teller of Death and the Evil Tumor Warriors, warlocks prepare, air units follow Deep Dark Fury in a dive attack…”

More than four hundred demons gradually moved forward, those capable of long-range attacks got ready.

On the mountaintop, over a thousand strange snakes hissed, spitting snake tongues.

Both sides drew closer, suddenly, the squad halted.

“Attack!”

Only to see many Tellers of Death and Evil Tumor Warriors line up.

Some Tellers of Death opened their mouths, spewing green mucus from their stomachs, covering the strange snakes ahead.

Some Tellers of Death broke their own arms, threw them out, and they exploded mid-air, spreading poison and disease mist.

The Evil Tumor Warriors ripped off nauseating tumors from their bodies, tossed them like grenades, transforming into clouds of toxic fog and epidemics.

Then, all types of spells and rains of arrows and spears fell among the strange snakes’ ranks, continuously inflicting damage.

The strange snakes had never faced such peculiar attacks before and hurriedly retreated.

At this moment, the army of flying demons arrived.

The Giant Dragons and demons circled around the Spine-headed Demon Dragon, Deep Dark Fury, diving toward the mountaintop.

Giant Dragons opened their mouths, unleashing various Dragon Breaths, like walls of fire extending among the strange snakes.

Other flying demons cast various poisons and spells from the sky.

Deep Dark Fury looked at the strongest strange snake, both the main head and the spinal dragon head on his back opened their mouths together.

Hoo…

Two streams of pitch-black Demon Dragon Breath poured down like waterfalls.

All strange snakes touched by the Demon Dragon Breath wailed and convulsed, as the pitch-black demonic flames spread across them and burned incessantly.

The Strange Snake Leader’s snake body was a full twenty-five meters long, about four to five people wide, with thirty pairs of giant locust legs on its sides, it easily leaped to dodge Deep Dark Fury’s attack.

The Strange Snake Leader’s eyes saw nothing but Deep Dark Fury.

Even the strongest clan leader regarded Deep Dark Fury with caution.

Deep Dark Fury was too strong.

The aerial units swept over the strange snakes, then flew out, turned back, and launched a second round of attacks.
