Chapter 623: Take Back the Dharma Treasure and Catch a Small Demon King!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The old man was Xu Ke’s sixth senior brother, the sixth disciple of the Taiyi Cave Master.
The metal-elemental dragons valued the relations.h.i.+p of masters and disciples, but the cultivators must leave their masters and found their own caves after reaching Qian-level or Kun-level since the masters wouldn’t keep disciples forever.
Under the cover of Jiang Yuan’s art exhibition, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong had come to East Ocean City to catch a small demon king.
The small demon kings were demon beasts that had pa.s.sed the first heaven tribulation. Despite their weaker strengths, they were demon beasts above level 10 and thus were very valuable.
He wouldn’t dare to try to catch it if this small demon king was inside or near the Demon Sea. However, the small demon king was in the city without a big demon king around, and w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong thought it was worth a try since he was at peak Qian-level.
The moment he reached East Ocean City, Xu Ke contacted him and asked him to help take back their master’s Heaven-Reaching s.h.i.+eld.
Although w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong and Xu Ke were disciples of the same master, they didn’t have a strong bond. When w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong left Taiyi Cave about 200 years ago, Xu Ke hadn’t been born yet.
However, since it involved their master’s dharma treasure, he must lend a hand as a disciple.
Hum… Hum… In Hao Ren’s necklace, the golden s.h.i.+eld sensed the presence of a powerful master and became agitated.
“Come out!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong looked at the necklace on Hao Ren’s neck and grabbed it.
Without the control of Hao Ren’s nature essence, the s.p.a.ce in the necklace became unstable, and the golden s.h.i.+eld flew out instantly.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong knew Hao Ren was the Commanding General of East Ocean. But since metal-elemental dragons had no dealings with the other four elemental dragon clans, he was wasn’t afraid of the power of the East Ocean Dragon Palace as a peak Qian-level metal-elemental dragon.
At this moment, Hao Ren’s body didn’t have a trace of nature essence, and w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong didn’t have the patience to find out why. He had located the position of the small demon king and would make his move in the evening.
The golden s.h.i.+eld flew up, and Little White took the opportunity to fly into the sky with Hao Ren on its back.
“Heaven-Reaching s.h.i.+eld! Withdraw!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong chanted the spell silently and reached out his right hand at the golden s.h.i.+eld.
He had used this supreme spiritual treasure several times and had missed it. He hadn’t expected that he would have the opportunity to touch it again after 200 years.
“Haha! After taking back the golden s.h.i.+eld, I will use it to catch that small demon king!
Small demon kings were excellent materials for making elixir pills and dharma treasures!
As he chanted of the spell and used his cultivation strength, the golden s.h.i.+eld flew away with Little White with a swoos.h.!.+
“How…” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong widened his eyes.
Although more than 200 hundred years had pa.s.sed since he last used the Heaven-Reaching s.h.i.+eld, he still remembered the spell very clearly!
When he last used the Heaven-Reaching s.h.i.+eld, he was only at Xun-level. Now that he was at peak Qian-level, and there was no reason that he couldn’t take it!
While he was stupefied, Little White had flown into the high sky carrying Hao Ren at the traveling speed of the Nascent Soul Realm!
“Humph! You can’t run!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong stomped the ground and flew up abruptly.
East Ocean City was the host city of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, and he wasn’t supposed to act so boldly on other’s territory. However, since he had reached peak Qian-level, he was fearless!
Even the regional inspector of East Ocean City had a lower realm than him!
Since the metal-elemental dragon cultivators valued the master-disciple system, the East Ocean Dragon Clan couldn’t find any dragon palace to blame! They would have to come to his Zixuan Cave!
However, as a peak Qian-level cultivator, he wasn’t afraid of the anger of the East Ocean Dragon Clan!
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong took one step forward and rose into the high sky, appearing right behind Little White. It was one of the powerful techniques of peak Qian-level cultivators, World Edge Technique!
The metal-elemental dragon cultivators were well-known for their laborious cultivation, and more than half of them couldn’t live until they reached Dui-level. This crazy cultivation resulted in the highest percentage of Qian-level and Kun-level cultivators and the most powerful technique!
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong looked to be in his sixties, but he was actually over 500 years old! He was a rare genius in the entire Dragon Tribe to have reached peak Qian-level at 500 hundred years old!
That was why he could take Zixuan Cave, one of the top 36 caves even though it was no match for his master’s Taiyi Cave, which was one of the five major caves!
“Withdraw!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong reached for the golden s.h.i.+eld.
The golden s.h.i.+eld spun to the front of Little White.
As a supreme spiritual treasure, it had its own spirit properties and wouldn’t submit to even a cultivator at peak Qian-level. In the entire world, probably only Soul Formation Realm cultivators could control it.
“Back!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong reached for the golden s.h.i.+eld again.
The golden s.h.i.+eld spun swiftly to one side of Little White.
Startled, Little White rose into a higher lat.i.tude.
Sitting on Little White’s back, Hao Ren was alarmed when he looked down at the skysc.r.a.pers hundreds of meters below him.
Without any nature essence in him, if he fell from Little White’s back…
“Humph!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s hands released lights and reached for the golden s.h.i.+eld the third time.
The golden s.h.i.+eld drew a golden arc and escaped from w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s grab.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong tried to grab it again, and the golden s.h.i.+eld dodged him again. It looked as if they were playing tag in the high sky.
Boom!
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong lost his patience and released the realm of peak Qian-level.
The golden s.h.i.+eld s.h.i.+vered slightly as if it were stunned.
“Come with me!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s dry hands released golden light sparks.
He spread his arms to welcome the golden s.h.i.+eld.
He had to release the aura of a super master before such a dharma treasure would submit to him!
When his hands almost touched the golden s.h.i.+eld, it flicked and flew up.
It had pretended to be afraid!
“B*stard!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s old face which looked kind turned furious.
The golden s.h.i.+eld hadn’t had such a powerful spirit property before!’
“Who are you? Why are you attacking our Gongzi?”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s crisp voices suddenly came from the thin clouds below them.
A green and a cyan light shot toward w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong.
The black and the white Yin Yang Bracelets shot toward w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong from both sides!
With a wave of his hand, a huge golden net appeared in w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s hand, and it struck toward the Lu sisters and their dharma treasures from above.
The Lu sisters immediately dodged to both sides, but w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s golden net caught their dharma treasures.
Before w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong could show his smugness, the black and white bracelets turned to the size of finger rings and escaped from the holes of the net. They changed into a black longsword and a white longsword, and the Lu sisters took them and stabbed at him.
The huge golden net changed into a trident, blocking Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s longswords.
“You’re only at Kun-level. Don’t humiliate yourselves!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong pointed with both hands.
Two golden lights shot onto Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s shoulders, sending them flying.
“Withdraw!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong reached out his hands and caught the black and the white bracelets which had changed back into their original forms.
“Gongzi…” The Lu sisters were bounced to Hao Ren’s side. Hao Ren immediately held their backs and took them into his arms.
Little White slid for more than ten meters before it held the weight of the three of them.
“Hehe! These two dharma treasures are of good quality!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong looked at the dharma treasures in his hands and said in satisfaction.
After executing the Poison Pill Plan for Hao Ren, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili had dropped from Qian-level to Kun-level, and they hadn’t recovered their strengths yet.
If their rival was an ordinary Qian-level cultivator, they could defeat him or her together. However, a peak Qian-level cultivator was a powerful enemy beyond their expectation.
They had never lost their natal dharma treasures, the Yin Yang Bracelets, to their enemies before, and they were red with humiliation and fury when the old man took those two dharma treasures.
“How are your injuries?” Hao Ren looked at their shoulders and asked.
“We are ok! Gongzi!” They answered in unison.
When w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong shot out two golden lights, their black and white bracelets had blocked them, but the bracelets were knocked into the air as a result and got caught by him.
This old man’s power far surpa.s.sed their expectation.
“The Heaven-Reaching s.h.i.+eld is my master’s dharma treasure. I only want to take back the dharma treasure!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong said as he looked down at Hao Ren and the Lu sisters.
Following the primitive law of the jungle, metal-elemental dragons had never abided by the rules of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine and would destroy anyone who messed with them.
However, Hao Ren was a bit different since he was the Commanding General of East Ocean, which was why w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong only wanted to take back the Heaven-Reaching s.h.i.+eld of Taiyi Cave instead of hurting or killing Hao Ren.
As to Hao Ren’s Mystic Water Sword Techniques, Xu Ke was afraid that his sixth senior brother, who had established his own cave, would take it, so he didn’t mention it.
“Ok, if it’s willing to go with you,” Hao Ren said with a clear voice while sitting on Little White’s back.
The golden s.h.i.+eld hummed while it stopped between Hao Ren and w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong shook and released an intense nature essence.
All the supreme spiritual treasures would automatically go to the place with the most nature essence and attach themselves to the powerful cultivators.
He knew that his master had fed the Heaven-Reaching s.h.i.+eld with nature essence regularly, and he didn’t believe that a cultivator below peak Qian-level could afford to feed a supreme spiritual treasure!
Buzz… Hum… The golden s.h.i.+eld released golden light waves.
The supreme spiritual treasure would choose its own master!
It spun and released large amounts of nature essence quietly.
Hiss… it slid slowly in the clouds toward Hao Ren!
Hao Ren’s necklace had a certain degree of nature essence while Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven had more nature essence! Besides, Little White would play with it!
After some consideration, it decided to stay with Hao Ren!
“Ruff…” Little White yelled since it didn’t want the golden s.h.i.+eld to come back.
“Now that the supreme spiritual treasure has chosen its master, what else do you want to say?” Hao Ren asked when the golden s.h.i.+eld returned to his side.
“After I kill you, it will have no master!” The golden light on w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong’s body got brighter suddenly.
“How dare you to kill people on the territory of East Ocean City? Aren’t you afraid of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine?” Hao Ren asked him in a loud voice.
“Dragon G.o.d Shrine! Humph! I have no regard for it!” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+tong glared at him and answered with a resonant voice.
His trident transformed into three which rose by themselves.
“Really? You have no regard for the Dragon G.o.d Shrine?” Yue Zilong’s deep voice came from the sky.
