695 -693: You Are Happy Too Early!

[Third Update]

Daqian Dynasty, Imperial Dragon Mountain.

Xiao Yi was cultivating when he suddenly opened his eyes, his brows knit together in unrest, “Could something have gone wrong?”

Squeak, squeak!

A spiritual bird suddenly flew in through the window.

Xiao Yi’s expression changed, “Is this the Shadow Demon’s spiritual bird?”

With a wave of his hand.

The spiritual bird flew into his hand, making squeaking noises at a specific frequency.

As the spiritual bird chirped, Xiao Yi’s face turned extremely ugly, “Ye Heng’s team has gone missing entirely?

Damn it, how did Lord Shadow Demon handle this?”

He had allowed the disciples of the Xiaoshanhe Institute to join the mission to capture the heretics.

It was meant to train these disciples.

But he also arranged for strong experts to follow each team secretly, like Ye Heng’s team was under the supervision of Lord Shadow Demon and Zhang Ling.

Experts from the Nirvana Realm were accompanying the other teams as well.

What he didn’t expect was that the first team to encounter trouble would be Ye Heng’s team, the strongest of them all.

“It seems I need to make a trip to Sword King Province myself!” Xiao Yi took a deep breath, stood up tall, and with a leap, he dived into the void, heading towards the direction of the Sword King Province.

With his current speed, although he couldn’t tear through the void directly like the experts from the Longevity Secret Realm, he was still much faster than ordinary experts at the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm.

Plus, since the Daqian Dynasty had just been founded, Bai Fa Sword Emperor and Yang Zun had to stay in the capital.

Xiao Yi had no choice but to go alone.

A half-day later.

Xiao Yi had met up with Lord Shadow Demon and the others.

Lord Shadow Demon and Zhang Ling wore expressions of bitterness and anxiety, “Hall Master, it is our fault for not providing adequate protection…”

“There’s no need for that!”

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said sternly, “Tell me in detail what happened!”

Lord Shadow Demon nodded, he called a young man named Fang Zheng to his side, with a cultivation at the Seventh Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm, he was a member of Ye Heng’s team.

Lord Shadow Demon said solemnly, “Fang Zheng, tell the Hall Master everything you know.

Remember, don’t leave anything out!”

Fang Zheng had been the one to notify Lord Shadow Demon and the others, which is why he wasn’t with Ye Heng and the rest.

He was also the only member of Ye Heng’s team who hadn’t disappeared.

Fang Zheng quickly said, “Hall Master, our team was in charge of the Sword King Province.

At first, we patrolled the bustling cities, but found nothing.

Brother Ye suggested we check outside the city, and as we were passing this mountain range, the heretic-finding stone reacted.

We followed the direction of the stone and came here, finding three heretics within this mountain range.

Brother Ye asked me to inform Lord Shadow Demon, but by the time we returned, they had vanished…”

Fang Zheng’s eyes were red, his face filled with guilt and fear.

If he had not gone to notify Lord Shadow Demon, he might also have disappeared without trace by now.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows, deep in thought, “What were those three heretics doing when you found them?

Did they have any distinguishing features?”

“When we found them, they seemed to be searching for something.

We were worried about being discovered, so we didn’t follow too closely and didn’t see clearly what they were looking for.

As for their features…” Fang Zheng paused, his eyes lit up, and he continued, “There was one who took off his clothes; I saw a strange pattern on his back…”

“A strange pattern?”

Xiao Yi was startled.

Fang Zheng nodded and said, “The man had just taken off his clothes when another reprimanded him, and he put them on again.

But I remember the pattern very clearly, it was a towering tree entwined by an Azure Dragon, and a blood-red sword was slashing diagonally across the body of the Azure Dragon and the towering tree…”

A towering tree entwined by an Azure Dragon, and a blood-red sword was slashing diagonally across the body of the Azure Dragon and the towering tree.

Xiao Yi’s mind conjured an image similar to what Fang Zheng described, but no matter how he searched his memory, even in the legacy of Dao Yan and the revered Wind Thunder, there was no clue about this pattern.

“What kind of existence are these heretics…”

Xiao Yi’s sword brows were tightly furrowed as he looked to the Shadow Demon and Zhang Ling beside him and said, “You guys go back to the city first and see if there have been any strangers coming and going recently.

I will continue the search here…”

“Hall Master, we …”

Zhang Ling and the Shadow Demon hesitated.

Xiao Yi shook his head, “I allowed them to come out for tempering, and if something really happened, it can only be said that their skills were not up to par, and you should not blame yourselves.

As for those who defy the natural order…” A fierce killing intent suddenly flitted across his eyes, “Defiers of the natural way?

You had better not harm Ye Heng and the others, otherwise…”

“Yes!”

The Shadow Demon and Zhang Ling immediately left with Fang Zheng.

Xiao Yi patted his chest, and Little Lin poked out his head.

He had now reached the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm, but Xiao Yi was thinking of crafting a Ninth Grade Longevity Spirit for Little Lin, which is why he had always suppressed his realm.

Xiao Yi said, “Little Lin, gather the beast in the mountains, regardless of their strength, as many as you can summon.

I want them to help me find the whereabouts of Ye Heng and the others!”

“Yes!”

Little Lin was now a peak-tier seventh rank Beast Emperor.

The moment he released the Beast Emperor’s aura, countless beasts in the forest rapidly converged.

When the Beast Emperor was enraged,

Beasts would run for thousands of miles!

Shortly…

The number of beasts Little Lin summoned had exceeded a hundred thousand, and of course, the vast majority of them were lower-tier beasts.

All the beasts prostrated on the ground, fearing they would provoke Little Lin and meet a death without a whole corpse.

Little Lin said, “Listen to me, from now on, search fully for humans in the mountain range, and inform me the moment you find them!”

“Yes!”

“We will abide by the Beast Emperor’s command!”

The multitude of beasts scattered in all directions.

Little Lin said, “Boss, you can rest assured!

As long as they are still within this mountain range, they absolutely cannot escape my beast army!”

Xiao Yi nodded.

They waited for three hours until darkness fell, when an eagle landed before Xiao Yi, respectfully calling out several times to Little Lin.

Little Lin’s amber-like eyes lit up, looking to Xiao Yi, “Boss, we have found the whereabouts of the defiers and Ye Heng’s group!”

“Very good!”

Xiao Yi’s eyes brightened, flicking a Martial Dao Divine Fruit to the Golden Core Realm eagle, “Lead the way!”

Cheep cheep!

The eagle was visibly excited, swiftly soaring into the sky.

Xiao Yi followed closely behind…

In a secluded gully in the mountains.

Ye Heng and the others were closing their eyes tightly, sitting cross-legged on the ground like puppets, motionless, as if under a Binding Spell.

Not far from them,

Three figures were sitting cross-legged, gnawing at roasted meat, occasionally looking towards Ye Heng and the others.

One of them laughed, “Who would have thought we’d be so lucky to encounter such promising seedlings.

The Battle War Holy Body, tsk tsk, if we bring him back, the elders will surely reward us handsomely!”

“Don’t celebrate too soon.

We are still within the territory of the Daqian Dynasty.

The time to celebrate is after we’ve successfully taken them back!”

Another one spoke.

The one who spoke first carelessly said, “What’s there to fear?

This Daqian Dynasty only has two Longevity Secret Realms, what’s there to fear…”

But as soon as the words left his mouth, a cold voice came through the void, “He’s right, you are celebrating too early!”
