Chapter 213: Disciples of the Sky Sword Sect
“Forget it, let’s not think about that anymore. The secrets of the galaxy teleporter are too complex for me to ever understand or comprehend. It’s useless for me to ponder about such things now…”
Once Zhou Donghuang had rationalized his thoughts, he casually let go of them.
“I’ve traveled to Honglong planet before in my past life. Coincidentally, I had had a breakthrough at that point and had stayed here for a while… After hearing that there was an inheritance left behind by a Dharma Peak adept, I had even visited this particular area out of interest.
“At that time, I was just a normal Primal Core adept. I simply wanted to poke my nose in and explore the possibility of doing some excavating myself. Of course… I wasn’t the only one with such thoughts.
“However, at that time, the beast mountain had been secured by the Sky Sword Sect, and it was a wasted journey.”
With his past experience, Zhou Donghuang had retained a considerable amount of knowledge on the Sky Sword Sect.
For the Honglong planet, at this moment, they had a Primal Core adept. However, he only had tens of years left in his life. In his previous life, when Zhou Donghuang was visiting the Honglong planet, he had already heard that this Primal Core adept only had tens of years left.
The Sky Sword Sect was considered a rather decent sect among the Honglong planet. It was considered a favored sect as their sect had a Dharma Peak adept that had trained within before.
Because of that, to a training sanctuary where, many years ago, a Dharma Peak adept had left his inheritance, the Sky Sword Sect had become extremely protective and would definitely not allow outsiders to get their hands on this treasure.
“I’ve arrived.”
As Zhou Donghuang was lost in his thoughts, he took a second to glance ahead and saw that there was a wide mountain right in front of him that was lush with greenery. The path up the mountain was tedious and winding. After spinning in the air, Zhou Donghuang realized that he could not find anything at all.
“There’s no Divine Will and thus, I can’t stay in the air long enough to check out the situation below.”
As Zhou Donghuang landed, he shook his head and sighed. “Divine Will can only be formed after the Primordial Soul stage… The me now is still far from being able to do so.”
Zhou Donghuang, who trained under the Lord of the Four Supremes, was now approaching the Dharma stage. Of course, he was nowhere near the Primordial Soul stage at this moment, which was above the Dharma stage.
“Since I can’t see much from above, let me go in and check it out… Although it may waste time, it’s better than being lost and confused.”
After cutting through a part of the forest, Zhou Donghuang entered the mountain and planned to crawl through to explore the entire mountain and find the inheritance that the Dharma Peak adept had left behind.
“Hm?”
Just as he had landed, Zhou Donghuang felt a slight vibration of the ground.
Just as he turned around, he saw that there was a giant wolf with a thick, sharp black coat running towards him from afar. It stared at him with bloodshot eyes as if it was summoning all its energy.
The giant wolf ran at an extremely fast pace, and its strides were big.
“A Connate-level demon?”
Zhou Donghuang could immediately see that this giant wolf was actually a late Connate Connate demon.
In the eyes of Zhou Donghuang now, this sort of beast was no different from a mere insect.
“Roar…”
The giant wolf did not seem to sense its impending danger. Although it was intelligent, the man before him only looked to be about twenty years old and did not seem to pose any threat.
Within an instant, the giant wolf arrived before Zhou Donghuang and attacked with its jaws wide open. Its teeth had saliva dripping from then and it looked extremely menacing.
Zhou Donghuang did not move much physically but a rush of silver inner Yuan rushed from his body, suspended in the air like a giant silver palm and hit the giant wolf on the head.
Ha!
With a giant clap, the giant wolf’s body, which was rus.h.i.+ng forward, suddenly froze midair and it collapsed onto the ground without a sound. Its giant brain had been destroyed and the brain juices were flowing all over the floor.
After killing the giant wolf, Zhou Donghuang did not bother to give it a second glance and begin surveying his surroundings. He wanted to check if the place of death of the Dharma Peak adept was nearby.
“It’s the Black Wolf King!”
Out of a sudden, a woman’s shout of shock came from behind and Zhou Donghuang instinctively turned around.
With his peripheral vision, Zhou Donghuang could see that a young woman had run here from afar and was crouching beside the giant wolf he had killed. This young woman was dressed modestly in green, had a clean appearance, could be considered pretty and was wielding a long sword on her back.
Following on her heels were two other young men.
Be it the young woman dressed in green or the two young men, both looked about the same age as Zhou Donghuang and could be a.s.sumed to be around 20.
“It really is the Black Wolf King.”
A young man dressed in grey and holding an equally long sword reached where the young lady was and glanced at the dead wolf. “My goodness! What power! Someone directly exploded this Black Wolf King’s brain… The person who killed him must be really strong!”
“Did you kill the Black Wolf King?”
The last young man dressed in green, who was rather handsome and gave off a confident aura, did not chase forward with his soft sword unlike the rest. Instead, he glanced warily at Zhou Donghuang.
Zhou Donghuang was standing a distance away from the wolf. As the young lady and previous young man had been focusing on the corpse of the giant wolf, they had not noticed him.
Now, hearing their friend’s voice, they turned to glance at Zhou Donghuang and expressions of confusion and fear filled their eyes.
Could this young man dressed in white and well-groomed be the one who had really killed the Black Wolf King?
One had to know that the Black Wolf King was not any random late Connate-level demon. Unless one were an extremely strong late Connate adept or of the ultimate Connate stage and above, it would be impossible for one to kill the Black Wolf King alone.
Now, the Black Wolf King’s corpse lay motionless and was untreated. This young man dressed in white was standing nonchalantly nearby and it could be a.s.sumed that he was indeed the killer.
“Mm.”
Zhou Donghuang nodded lightly although he got excited internally. He opened his mouth and asked, “Are you… disciples of the Sky Sword Sect?”
“Yes.” The young lady affirmed this while asking hesitantly, “Are you not?”
Zhou Donghuang shook his head.
“You aren’t?”
The young lady in green’s nostrils flared slightly as she got a shock. Similarly, the young man dressed in grey also had on a face of shock.
As for the confident young man dressed in green, at this moment, his brows also furrowed slightly. They all clearly had never thought that this man who had killed the Black Wolf King was not from their sect.
The young lady in green had just been thinking whether this man dressed in white could have been a fellow disciple.
This was because in the surrounding cities, other than Sky Sword Sect, there were no other sects of families that were stronger.
As for these other sects and families, it was impossible for them to develop a late Connate adept at such a young age, let alone an ultimate Connate adept.
“Are you an ultimate Connate adept?”
This time, Zhou Donghuang did not open his mouth and merely shook his head before looking away and continuing to survey his surroundings, looking out for the place of death of the Dharma Peak adept.
“No?”
Seeing Zhou Donghuang shook his head, the three a.s.sumed then that Zhou Donghuang was merely a mid Connate adept, probably an elite one at that.
Only late Connate adepts and above would be able to kill this giant wolf alone, after all.
“Friend.”
At this point, the young man dressed in grey glanced meaningfully at the young woman before looking at Zhou Donghuang again and speaking extremely courteously.
“This Black Wolf King that you killed was our target as well… We want a pair of its teeth and the wolf’s heart. Are you willing to share it with us? Name your price,” the young man in green glanced at Zhou Donghuang and said lightly.
When Zhou Donghuang had shaken his head in response to their query on whether he was an ultimate Connate adept, this man had noticed that there had been a change in his gaze.
At first, it was fear. Now, it was indifference.
Zhou Donghuang glanced blankly at the young man in green before looking to the young man in grey, who was more polite. “I never wanted the items on that wolf. If you want it, you can have it.”
“You never wanted them?”
The young man in green became even more suspicious.
The late Connate Black Wolf King had treasures all over his body. If someone of the late Connate stage and above killed it, the person would surely raid the wolf of all its treasures.
This young man dressed in white was merely a mid Connate adept and yet was c.o.c.ky enough to pretend he did not care for these treasures?
What a joke!
Just as the young man dressed in grey had frozen and opened his mouth once more, before he could finish his sentence, the entire ground vibrated violently and he was unable to continue.
A second later, five whole wolves similar to the one lying on the ground had appeared before the group. They stood in a pack and glanced silently at Zhou Donghuang.
Occasionally, they glanced at the wolf that Zhou Donghuang had killed and expressions of rage and hatred appeared in their eyes. Their coat of fur was standing upright and alert.
“Haha… I didn’t think we would be so lucky. Another five wolves have appeared. Alright, we do not need to take treasures from this man anymore. We can get them ourselves.”
The young man in green smiled.
“Five Black Wolf Kings.”
The young lady in green glanced at the wolves, sh.e.l.l-shocked. “Zhao Si, Xie Yu and I can only defeat one at most if we work together. Are you sure you can fight the rest?”
This young lady and the man in grey had only entered the late Connate stage not long ago. Their skills were only about that of a weak late Connate adept and definitely could not face a wolf alone.
“Ru Lan, do not worry. This is a piece of cake for me.”
The young man in green, Zhao Si, smiled confidently. “Join forces with Xie Yu to kill one of the wolves. Allow that rather skilled young man to take two others. Within twenty breaths, I’ll be able to kill the remaining two and help you all out later on.”
Just as he had a.s.sured Ru Lan, Zhao Si glanced at the young man in white who was still looking around and barked a command at him a.s.suredly. “Lad, if you don’t want to die, do as I say!”
