Chapter 821: Entering The Devil Cave
Knowing that the four hegemonic powers of the Devil Domain Mainland would gather to open the Devil Cave in a year’s time, Huang Xiaolong stayed in West Raven City. He focused on his cultivation as he waited for the day of the Devil Cave’s opening.
One year was neither long nor short, but it quickly passed by.
In this one year, Huang Xiaolong continued to absorb Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird star force to temper his physical body, enhancing his True Dragon Physique’s defenses and attack power by a large degree.
His true immortal essence force and Asura god battle qi surged endlessly, inexhaustible.
In this one year’s time, Huang Xiaolong also allocated time to refining some Spring Autumn Hundred Life Divine Pellets and Amethyst Water Droplet Divine Pills.
When there were three days left until the opening of the Devil Cave, Huang Xiaolong left West Raven City. He needed to determine which forces’ Patriarchs and Chiefs would be following the four hegemonic powers into the Devil Cave. Once he determined their identities, he would be able to select his target, kill them, and then replace them in entering the Devil Cave.
After inquiring around, Huang Xiaolong decided on the Hundred Devils Gate’s Patriarch, Bai Zhisheng.
The reason for his choice was that Bai Zhisheng was also a perfection stage late-Tenth Order God Realm cultivator, the same cultivation realm as himself, and understood more about the Hundred Devils Gate after soul-scouring the two Hundred Devils Gate disciples.
Another reason being that the Hundred Devils Gate’s headquarters was the closest to West Raven City.
After deciding on the Hundred Devils Gate Patriarch Bai Zhisheng as his target, Huang Xiaolong flew toward the sect’s headquarters.
Arriving in close proximity to the Hundred Devils Gate headquarters, Huang Xiaolong secretly spread out his divine sense and soon located Patriarch Bai Zhisheng, who was cultivating in an underground secret chamber.
Upon entering the secret chamber, with almost no effort at all, he killed the Hundred Devils Gate Patriarch Bai Zhisheng.
Although Bai Zhisheng was at the same cultivation realm as him and cultivated a powerful devil sutra, in front of Huang Xiaolong, Bai Zhisheng did not have the slightest power to resist.
Before killing him, Huang Xiaolong scoured Bai Zhisheng’s soul. From his memories, he came to know that, among the Ghost Demon Valley’s liege forces, other than the Hundred Devils Gate Patriarch Bai Zhisheng who would be following the Ghost Demon into the Devil Cave, there were eighteen more people. All of them must gather outside the Devil Cave the day after tomorrow.
There was ample time before the gathering, therefore Huang Xiaolong stayed in the secret chamber under the Hundred Devils Gate to familiarize himself with Bai Zhisheng’s personality before altering his own features and physical body to Bai Zhisheng’s. When morning came, Huang Xiaolong departed from the secret chamber, heading to the Devil Cave.
A day later, Huang Xiaolong arrived at his destination, the Devil Cave.
By the time he arrived, there was already a large group of devil sect Patriarchs and Chiefs waiting on the wide open space in front of the Devil Cave. Among these devil sect Patriarchs and Chiefs, the weakest ones were still at peak late-Tenth Order God Realm.
Just as ‘Bai Zhisheng’ arrived, he immediately felt a strong killing intent directed at him. This killing intent was almost tangible as if it wanted to tear Huang Xiaolong into a million pieces to vent this person’s wrath.
Huang Xiaolong’s gaze traced the source of the killing intent to a middle-aged man clad in a skeleton robe at the other end of the field. He had black patterns all over his skin and was fixing a deathly cold glare at Huang Xiaolong.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Huang Xiaolong slightly frowned. Through Bai Zhisheng’s memories, he found this middle-aged man to be the Chief of a sect called Skeleton Sect, named Mo Leng.
This Mo Leng’s Skeleton Sect was one of the forces that swore allegiance to Crimson Devil City’s Crimson Devil and had a deep grudge with Bai Zhisheng. There was a time in the past where Bai Zhisheng and this Mo Leng were competing for a Demonic Devil Bead, resulting in countless Hundred Devils Gate and Skeleton Sect masters’ death, causing blood to flow like a river.
Amongst those who died in Bai Zhisheng’s hand was Mo Leng’s female companion. And, the Demonic Devil Bead of that time also fell into Bai Zhisheng’s hand. From then on, Mo Leng was the person who wanted Bai Zhisheng dead the most.
