Chapter 293: Yin and Yang Magic Matrix and An Amazing News

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The power of Pure Yang Celestial Device was so vast that totally exceeded Junior Leopard’s expectation.

The Golden Flame Mirror was on the top of his head, and a strong hot stream flowing throughout his body. Junior Leopard felt that he had merged into the Golden Mirror as if it was a part of his body, which was completely under his control.

“The power of the golden light of the Golden Flame Mirror can be controlled at will!” Feeling that a pieces of information spreading from the Golden Flame Mirror, and at the same time, Junior Leopard felt that his sense of spirit extended downwards along with the golden light of the Golden Flame Mirror, until the depth of a thousand feet, while the condition of the Black Demon Chama was fully reflected in his mind.

“Poor guy!”

In the dark-tailed predator, the all-powerful Black Demon Chama, tightly huddled himself up at the moment, thoroughly covered in a golden flame and couldn’t move even a bit.

Even though the golden light of the Golden Flame Mirror didn’t mean to kill or harm, it still had a strong imprisonment function. As long as it is used well, the strong could easily take down Level Seven or Level Eight experts without wasting much effort of Junior Leopard. In just a flash of golden light, it would either vaporize the opponent or constrain him!

“No wonder a single Pure Yang Celestial Device attracts so many people and striving for it! It turns out that the function of a Pure Yang Celestial Device was so great. Damn it, those guys wanted me to help them grab the Pure Yang Celestial Device for free. F*ck, who am I in their eyes? I would make you look good one day!”

Amazed by the power of the Pure Yang Celestial Device, Junior Leopard thought that idiot who ran to his territory and asked him to participate in the World Heroes Competition for the Eight Immortals Exquisite Pagoda, which instantly got his temper up.

Suddenly, several low-pitched roars came from afar. Junior Leopard’s looked awkward, “Someone is coming!”

Someone was coming, but it must not be an ordinary person.

Hearing the roars of Little Du, Junior Leopard can hear that the one coming nearer certainly had a high-level strength.

“Damn, he is coming at this crucial juncture, what a bad luck!” Junior Leopard was extremely uncomfortable and he fumbled in his front pocket and reached out nine palm-size purple flags. Then he raised his hands, and the flags were turned into nine streams and dispersed in all directions.

As the flags descended, a thin layer of mist arose in the surrounding. After the fog was formed, it suddenly shaken and were, disappeared. After a while, everything in the vicinity was restored to normal, as if no one was ever here before.

After a few seconds of breathing, five streams of light fell from the air and landed right next to where Junior Leopard was standing.

“What’s up? Is there something unusal?!”

“No, it seems that nothing is unusual here. Old Nose, will you be wrong?”

“Impossible, how could I be wrong?”

The total of five people who have fallen from the air, are actually an expert of Level Seven or above. Their Gang Qi was perfectly incorporated with every inch of their body, suggesting that they were either Level Eight experts or sophisticated Level Seven experts. Otherwise, their Gang Qi could never run through the body seamlessly.

“What the hell? Have experts in the world become so abundant that suddenly there are five of them here?” Junior Leopard cursed himself in the matrix. At the same time, he was also secretly wondering at the power of this Yin and Yang Dust Formation, because five experts were standing right in front of him, but could not feel or discover him in any case, even if he had stuck out a finger and swung it before their eyes. This Yin and Yang Dust Formation not only hid the spirit of him and the Golden Flame Mirror from view, but also his physical body.

Even now, none of those five experts knew that they were deeply immersed in the illusion produced by the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. But Junior Leopard didn’t want to wake them and make trouble for himself, therefore, he intentionally lure them off his territory and let them leave before lifting his formation. However, with the Yin and Yang Dust Formation, they could not notice the odd at all.

“I saw clearly that there was an emitting strong sense of a celestial device, certainly it is a Pure Yang Device. How can it be lost in a blink of an eye?” The Level Seven expert known as Old Nose screamed out with confusion. “Impossible! This makes no sense!”

“Old Nose, are you sure that you read it clearly?” The leader of this group was an old man, also a Level Seven expert, while judging the light shooting from his eyes, the Gang Qi was surrounding his body. With this, his cultivation had already reached the peak of Level Seven that might have entered into Level Eight at any time.

“Certainly I saw it. Big Mu, do you feel now an overwhelming sensation of power, don’t you?” Old Nose was frowning. “Look, could it be possible that someone else has arrived here before us and snatched the device?”

“Impossible, we’ve moved fast enough, and we haven’t noticed anyone else, either!” A man behind Big Mu said. “No one has the capability to take away this treasure in such a short time. You know, this is not just as simple as picking up a stone on the side of the road!”

“Exactly! If it’s true that a Pure Yang Celestial Device just revealed itself, then no way it can be taken away so easily!” Big Mu nodded and said, “Look around, maybe there is a way on the other side to hide the trail. Let’s take a look carefully!”

“Yes!” The rest of these four men replied with a smile, and then dispersed.

What a bunch of fools!

Seeing of the five people bustling in illusion, Junior Leopard merely gave a sneer. “Into the illusion of Yin and Yang Dust Formation, how could you find flaws with your Level Seven cultivation?”

Sure enough, after about half an hour, five of them gathered again, found nothing.

“What shall we do, Big Mu? We can’t find anything. I guess maybe a certain expert nearby was using a Pure Yang Celestial Device and he left as soon as he spotted us coming!” The man who raised the question behind Big Mu spoke again. “We’d better not waste our time here, shall we?”

“Hum!” Big Mu nodded, sort of crestfallen. “That’s very likely. We’ve just entered this Blacktail Plain. How can we run into a Pure Yang Celestial Device so soon that is lying here for us to pick up? No such good thing could happen. If we have such luck, our cultivation and strength would not have stuck at Level Seven and couldn’t break through Level Eight. Old Nose, forget those treasures. Let’s find out where that beast is!”

“Not here!” Old Nose shook his head. “Not a single trace of the spirit of that beast is here. Big brother, this Blacktail Plain is a kingdom of marsh, with various spirits mixing together, and that thing is deep down the soil. I’m afraid that it’s not easy to find it.”

“Though it’s hard, we still got to find it. If the information we’ve learned is right, that Black Demon Chama is an evil beast that just matured, which a great use for us. Moreover, Prince Ning also paid a huge price for this. So, nothing to lose!”

“Prince Ning?” Junior Leopard startled a bit. “How could Prince Ning be interested in the Black Demon Chama?”

Junior Leopard only gained limited knowledge of Prince Ning originated from Zhonghe County. At that time, in order to seize power, Prince Ning sent a henchman to take over the Navy of Jiang City in the hands of Junior Leopard, who mysteriously poisoned Prince Ning to death. Somehow, later Prince Ning couldn’t find any evidence against Junior Leopard and that matter was left unsettled. But in any case, the biggest benefit from this incident would be Junior Leopard—the most likely suspect.

From this perspective, it seemed that the two have different identities. The light poles do not reach the edge, but the nails are already buried.

“These guys are sent by Prince Ning! What did he send them here for? Doesn’t he want to fight for the throne at the Central Plains? Or does he plan to set a flag of his own in the north?” Junior Leopard said to himself, wondering why Prince Ning had reached out to the far north.

At this point, he heard another one saying: “It’s really interesting that Prince Ning bought so many territories in the north instead of focusing on being His Royal Highness. The north is vast, but also cold and barren. Is it possible that he is planning to claim the throne in the north?”

“Prince Ning bought lands?!” Suddenly heard this, Junior Leopard obviously stunned.

“Can the territories be bought or sold?”

Those were fiefs, territories, unable to be sold to others. Even if someone reckoned that their territories were barren, producing few outcomes, they could not sell them due to the lack of legal reasons. Hasty as this enfeoff was, every fief was on the record of the imperial court. Perhaps, the imperial court did not have an accurate map. Therefore, if you thought the neighboring territories took up more or less land than what was awarded, the imperial court might not help you. But if you sold your territory and found a new proprietor for it, the imperial court would certainly manage it.

It was a must because the laws of Jin forbade this business.

Trading the land of fiefs privately, if put in mild words, was an act of disrespecting the imperial court. While putting in harsh words, was an intention to rebel against the empire, which would equate the untouchable high-voltage cables in any dynasty. “Is this Prince Ning eating? Did the bear leopard dare, or lost his mind?”

“This kind of thing is not what we should speak of carelessly. Prince Ning has his own plan. We just need to do our job and that’s it!” Big Mu said coldly. “Old Nose, since there is no such thing here, let’s go somewhere else. Whatever happens, we have to find out and remove this Black Demon Chama!”

“Good!” Old Nose nodded, and carefully scrutinized it with his nose almost sticking into the dirty grass. After that, he nodded his head to show that nothing is suspicious. Suddenly, five jets of light flashed again and flew toward the depth of the Blacktail Plain.

As the five lights were flashing, Junior Leopard had already released the illusion and let them leave. The five experts felt no doubts at all, but just believing that they found some abnormality at a certain place of the Blacktail Plain, searched again, and then left.

“Yin and Yang Dust Formation is indeed miraculous! With this formation and the Golden Flame Mirror, I can almost be invincible in the Metaphysic Realm. Even if I come across some experts of the Metaphysic Realm, I’ll have the strength to put up a fight. It looks like it’s time to find a proper opportunity and let out the news that I’ve also obtained a Pure Yang Celestial Device!”

Junior Leopard’s mind was racing, his eyes were gradually turned red. As his thoughts were altering subtly, the shaft golden light of the Golden Flame Mirror emitted, sent by the Black Demon Chama and make it a drop from the air onto the ground.

At this time, The Chama was already dying. How could it have any bit of demeanor of a Black Demon?

Half of the body was burnt into a gang black, and some part of it was showing the bones. Its drool was uncontrollably dripping down, diffusing fits of stink smell which made Junior Leopard frowning. Remember, at first, Junior Leopard intended to extract its spirit and then hit his own thought to have complete control over this Black Demon. But seeing this scene, he started thinking again. “This is what you are living in, in the mud under the swamp, slipping in and out among the ooze all day long. While living like this is certainly something it can’t bear.”

Therefore, his reddened eyes restored to normal. Junior Leopard held up a finger, pointed it at the forehead of the Black Demon Chama and drew up an odd talisman on it.

That talisman glinted a bit and soon sank into the forehead of the Black Demon Chama.

At this point, Junior Leopard received the golden light so that the Black Demon Chama will escape from it.

As soon as the golden light was lifted, the Black Demon Chama trembled slightly, its bleak eyes fixed toward Junior Leopard, revealing an expression of rimless fear. At the same time, following the spiritual connection, Junior Leopard also sensed its blatant dread to himself, as if he was a terrifying king of demons.

“Am I that frightening?”

Seeing that this monster known on the prairie as Black Demon and worshipped as a god of demons, should regard him as a demon god, a very odd sensation rose up in Junior Leopard’s stomach.

“Oh!” Black Demon Chama bellowed in its undertone, and put its huge head with immense difficulty toward the feet of Junior Leopard to show its surrender. At the same time, along with its train of thoughts, confused and obscure pieces of memory rushed into the brain of Junior Leopard.

“This is the memory of this Black Demon Chama. Sure enough that it has gained spiritual intelligence and harbored some ideas, but unfortunately, it’s not mature enough and nothing special exists in its memory!” As strong as this telepathic connection, Junior Leopard was pondering secretly. “But it’s good that this thing has certain spiritual intelligence, so I can pass the skills of Demonic Cultivation to it, let it practice quietly on the Blacktail Plain and never come out to stir up troubles if not necessary!”

Contemplating, through the spiritual connection, Junior Leopard transmitted one of the cultivation skills for Demonic Cultivation that the Green Spirit had taught him and passed on to the mind of the Black Demon Chama.

Hiss, hiss!

Sensing the information sent from Junior Leopard, the Black Demon Chama was a little excited. Then, an indescribable feeling of thought spread to the mind of Junior Leopard.

“Ha! This thing can be said to be a smart guy, even acknowledged absolute surrender!” Junior Leopard laughed, although at the beginning, the Black Demon Chama entered a Mantra Contract with him, regulating that the Black Demon Chama must always take his orders, this was merely enforced under the constraint of the Mantra Contract. The Black Demon Chama might listen to him due to the influence of the Mantra Contract, but it could cut corners during the operation. As long as Junior Leopard didn’t notice, and the relationship between the two would not be too harmonious. But now, Junior Leopard passed down the cultivation method for Demonic Cultivation to the Black Demon Chama at one blow. All of a sudden, the Black Demon Chama’s feelings for Junior Leopard immediately changed. Thus, its low intelligence became a benefit to Junior Leopard for it was particularly vulnerable to be fooled.

Although this Black Demon Chama had evolved intelligence, its level was barely comparable to a child of nine or ten years old. With the policy of stick and carrot, adding a Mantra contract, Junior Leopard nailed it down completely.

“Well, big guy, go back to your place. I will look for you when I have something!” Junior Leopard patted the head of the Black Demon Chama. This time, he had completely surrendered to him, and it was constrained by the Mantra contract. Likewise, it had some intelligence, so it would understand his intention easily, which was pretty great.

The Black Demon Chama received the message of Junior Leopard and moved its large body slowly into a mud puddle it picked. He continued slipping downward until the depth of over two thousand feet under the mud. Then, it started healing itself by harnessing the filthy vitality at the bottom of the pond to heal wounds, and at the same time practicing the Demon tribe cultivation method that was passed by Junior Leopard.

“Green Spirit, what’s your view on this big buddy? ”

“It’s merely a black python in the swamp. No big deal!” The Green Spirit replied disdainfully. “I don’t understand why you have to spend so much effort to subdue this thing!”

“He is the overlord of the Blacktail Plain. To control him is equivalent to controlling the Blacktail Plain. The stronger he is, the more profits he can bring to us!” Junior Leopard said.

“Profits, profits—boy, I found that you are now increasingly concerned with the power of the secular world, which is bad for your practice!”

“The loads of things I did are just for the sake of continuing my practice without worries behind!” Junior Leopard said. “It’s true that you are somewhat a Grand Demon, but when it comes to this kind of issues, you just don’t get a hang of them!”

“Ah, you boy should get to lecture me already! Yeah, there are some issues I don’t know about, but I know that you will miss this practice!”

Junior Leopard did not response to the Green Spirit, but just took the nine flags back, removed the Yin and Yang Dust Formation and left the Blacktail Plain with Little Du swiftly.

Half an hour later, five of the Level Seven experts who had previously appeared here returned.

This time, what they saw was utterly different from the view on their first visit. Within a radius of a thousand feet, the earth was cracked, the surface of a road was scaly like snakes, and a place appeared to be a drought layer that reached the depth. All of the bleak vision completely displayed in front of them.

“Big Mu, this is—!”

At the sight unrolling before them, the five were all shocked. They were not the ones who hadn’t seen the world yet. On the contrary, they had seen more of the world, but encountering such a scene like this today was a first experience for all of them. Recalling the sight that everything was normal on their first visit, they felt this place getting more uncanny.

“It seems that the Black Demon Chama has already been killed!” Big Mu’s face was sinking like water, but his eyes cast a look at the surroundings with a sort of tension. “Let’s hurry back. It looks like that this Blacktail Plain is much more complicated than we’d expected!”

“But big brother, Prince Ning is there!”

“I’ll explain to Prince Ning.” Big Mu glared at him with a glance. “Did you not see it yet? We are either caught in a magic matrix of our opponent right now or we came here first. Otherwise, it’s impossible to make a huge change in such a short time!”

“What? Magic matrix!” The look of Old Nose suddenly changed, and the tip of his nose started shivering so subtly that this was almost unnoticeable. After a while, he looked up at Big Mu and said, “Impossible! I didn’t feel anything unusual!”

“Either the level of their magic matrix is so high that it’s beyond our imagination, or we were already in a magic matrix the last time!” Big Mu murmured softly. “You really didn’t notice anything, did you?”

“Nothing at all!” Old Nose answered resolutely. He stepped on the hard and cracked the earth, and gray-black dust fell from the gap naturally, without anomalies.

“Then it’s true that we were in a magic matrix when we first came here!”

“But the last time, nothing strange happened to us!”

“That’s because the other side doesn’t want to make trouble for us, nor does it want us to bother him!” Big Mu’s looks got increasingly deep as he was brooding over this whole thing. “If I guess right, the overwhelming pressure we felt last time and the light Old Nose caught sight produced as the opponent using a powerful celestial device in dealing with the Black Demon Chama. But he sensed that we were coming and didn’t want any more troubles, so he set up this magic matrix. When we found nothing strange, we just left. After that, he quickly settled the Black Demon Chama—either subdued or killed it, doesn’t matter—then he removed the magic matrix and left, while we came back here and discover the differences.”

“That is to say, the other side not only has a powerful celestial device, but also a master of magic matrix?!” Old Nose’s eyes glowed, and a frightened look revealed on his face. “Since when does such a figure exist in the world?!”

“I have no idea about that. But I do know that we have basically been more stubborn in this Blacktail Plain Valley. Let’s go back and see what happens, lest we bump into more troubles!” As saying this, he first leaped into the air and took off. The rest looked at each other, all sighed and left.

…

…

Under the power of the Golden Flame Mirror, this Black Demon Chama was unexpectedly easy to handle, but the heart of Junior Leopard still couldn’t help worrying due to the conversation among the five Level Seven experts.

“Prince Ning was buying land in the north, and also required them to deal with the Black Demon Chama. Hiring five Level Seven experts at a time in this world was indeed a big deal, for the price of Level Seven experts was pretty high. This fact, for one thing, proved that the royal highness Prince Ning had an intricate plan in the north, and he was determined to take down the Blacktail Plain, otherwise, he would not have dispatched five Level Seven experts all at once. After all, in this world, experts were but the scarcest resource!”

With his head loaded with questions, Junior Leopard and Little Du went back to his territory. But on the way, Little Du ran away from him. This boy had become used in living a free life since Junior Leopard let go of it on the prairie, exactly like setting free a tiger back to the mountains. Junior Leopard also didn’t strive to get it back, but only summoned it when needed. In other time, it was left alone to do whatever it liked. Anyway, no matter what it did, the final beneficiary was always itself.

When he entered his own territory, Junior Leopard revealed his figure and strolled across the vast prairie. He walked along and watched the wind caressing and lowering the grass to let cows and sheep surface into sight, which was really beautiful. After walking for a while, he saw that the little town on its territory set away.

Just when he was about to leap into the air and ride his Gang Qi to get back to his territory, an extremely shrilling whoosh of a sword move suddenly floated into his ear, whereafter, a jet of powerful pressure swept over him.

“Li Xiu, fleeing is futile! Today, I, Yan Fei, will certainly take your life!”

The sound rolled like a thunder.
