Chapter 187 : Your Sect Even Raises Dragons
Chapter 187 : Your Sect Even Raises Dragons
No one expected Qin Xixue to possess such a powerful divine artifact. The nine-storied giant pagoda blotted out the sky, instantly swallowing the fire-red figure! Not a single person could stop it in time!
"Little Junior Sister!"
The Lingqing Sect members were frantic with worry. Gu Chang'an rushed forward directly, his sword intent slashing, but unable to leave even the slightest mark on the pagoda. This was an ancient divine artifact, forged from the finest materials, with a defense that could be called invincible. It was impossible to break it from the outside by brute force.
The barrier confining the demon king was also weakening. The major sects had to work together to trap the demon king, preventing it from escaping in the chaos and wreaking havoc elsewhere.
At this moment, Mu Changqing, who was closest, had subdued Que Yao and wanted to rush forward to save Chu Sang. However, this Demon-Locking Pagoda was a divine artifact specifically crafted to target demon beasts like them. Once approached, they would be swallowed.
"This is the consequence of opposing me! Those who repeatedly obstruct me should die!! Someone who should have died long ago yet clings to life until now, I'll now have your soul torn apart alive in this pagoda, your body destroyed and your dao extinguished, never to reincarnate!!!"
The moment the giant pagoda fell, its immense spiritual power affected the entire area, uprooting trees and causing fierce winds. Qin Xixue's white clothes and long hair were disheveled by the gale. The madness in her eyes was terrifying to behold.
Mo Qingchen had previously doubted which was the real Qin Xixue, the current one or the previous one?
Now, he had no more doubts. The black-clad youth's eyes were cold, his long sword sharp.
Such a deranged person had disguised herself so perfectly in the sect that no one in the entire sect had noticed any flaws. It was truly horrifying to think about. How much scheming must she have done?
If it weren't for Chu Sang later exposing her long-standing crimes, perhaps the entire Tianyan Sect would have become a pawn in her hands.
Such a person who colluded with foreign races and harmed the immortal sects was truly... deserving of death!
"Senior Brother?"
Lou Qing turned his head to look, only to find that Mo Qingchen beside him had vanished.
"She's doomed!"
Que Yao, inferior in strength, had been subdued by Mu Changqing.
Looking at this madness before him, he gritted his teeth, smiling reluctantly and coldly, "Why do you, a demon cultivator, want to associate with these foreign human cultivators? If you release me now, I can let bygones be bygones. In the future, when I ascend to the position of ruler of the demon realm, I can even reserve—"
"Crack!" Without even giving him a chance to finish speaking, Que Yao's voice abruptly stopped. His eyeballs reddened and bulged, his throat suppressing indistinct sounds. His mouth gaped open, seemingly unable to believe that the person before him could strike without the slightest mercy!
A pale, slender hand viciously gripped Que Yao's throat.
Mu Changqing seemed to have returned to when Chu Sang first saw him, cold and perverse, crazed and morbid. He curled his red lips, "My Little Junior Sister won't die, but you, you will definitely die."
A massive dragon shadow flashed in the sky above, its mysterious and terrifying pressure even beyond the reach of that troublemaking flood dragon. Everyone was so shocked they could hardly speak, "Dragon? This person... he's actually a legendary dragon? Weren't the legendary dragon race exterminated? Could one have survived?"
Liu Yuanqing said, "No way, your Lingqing Sect actually hid a true dragon? Why didn't you say so earlier? You could have let this true dragon take the stage to suppress that flood dragon. I nearly lost my life several times for nothing!"
"And reveal our hand early, alerting the enemy to set traps in advance, inviting us into a trap?"
Tantai Ming felt his brain was already not working well, but he hadn't expected there to be someone even more stupid than him. He spoke with utter contempt.
The most surprised was the half-dead Que Yao.
Clinging to his last breath, he stared fixedly at this black dragon soaring into the sky, his heart filled with utter despair.
So... the dragon race hadn't been exterminated back then, and the world's last dragon remained... No wonder he would help these cultivators of the cultivation world...
Seeing Mu Changqing grab him and fly towards the Demon-Locking Pagoda, Que Yao instantly understood what he intended to do. He immediately began to struggle violently, losing his previous composure and almost screaming hysterically, "Let me go! Let me go! Your entire family was wiped out, that was done by my father emperor, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Right, don't you want revenge? If you release me and we join forces, we can go back and work together to overthrow my father emperor. Then the demon realm will belong to the two of us... no, it will be yours alone, I can assist you!!!"
However, at this point, whatever he said was too late. Mu Changqing didn't care about the demon realm at all, only the rage in his heart remained.
The Demon-Locking Pagoda was an ancient divine artifact. Once closed, it couldn't be forcibly opened unless—the pagoda opened itself!
The black dragon threw the screaming, struggling Que Yao towards the pagoda.
The moment the Demon-Locking Pagoda sensed a demon creature approaching, it opened again, swallowing Que Yao in an instant. It didn't even give him a chance to scream before his figure was engulfed and disappeared.
"Don't waste your effort, she can't come out!" Qin Xixue said through gritted teeth, her voice cold.
From beginning to end, she hadn't even spared a glance at Que Yao. After all, this man's usefulness along the way was exhausted, and whether he lived or died was of no concern to her... Her sole purpose was to make Chu Sang die!
She must die!
Mu Changqing stared blankly at the still motionless Demon-Locking Pagoda, his brows furrowed. Why hadn't she come out yet? Could it be... Little Junior Sister hadn't seized this opportunity?
Mu Changqing's heart panicked. Without even thinking, he prepared to use himself as bait, rushing in to make the Demon-Locking Pagoda open again.
Just as he was about to rush into the pagoda,
"Boom!"
A huge rumble resonated throughout the entire area, released from within the pagoda. Fire light blazed across the sky.
Amidst the sky full of fire light, the black dragon carrying Chu Sang burst out. The fire-red figure emerged from the flames, looking quite disheveled, her ceremonial robes in tatters, her hair in disarray, yet irresistibly eye-catching and radiant. The fire light filling the sky seemed to become her grand accompaniment.
Chu Sang spat out a mouthful of black qi and grinned. She hadn't expected the power of the enhanced strange fire to be so strong, far beyond imagination!
"Little Junior Sister, I knew you'd be fine!" Tantai Ming howled.
"When you were trapped in the pagoda just now, I thought..." Gu Chang'an wasn't like Tantai Ming, that heartless die-hard fan. He had truly been holding his breath, almost thinking Little Junior Sister would perish here.
If Little Junior Sister had really died and her dao been extinguished because of this, he would definitely not let Qin Xixue and the others off! Even in death, he would drag them down to accompany Little Junior Sister!
"Sorry, it took a bit more time to subdue this pagoda, making you all worry!"
Chu Sang casually cast a cleaning spell on herself. The black dragon landed on a mountaintop, and she jumped down from its body, opening her palm.
The giant pagoda in the sky had vanished, but in her palm appeared a miniature version of the treasure pagoda, about three inches tall.
Nine-storied and radiant with flowing light, it was none other than the infamous Demon-Locking Pagoda!
