Chapter 2093: All Swords Drawn (1/2)

A spirited middle-aged man was standing on the bow of the Two-headed Devil Dragon Empire’s flying ship. He wore a scarlet gold dragon robe, and the dragon qi around him seemed to sweep away everything in his path. He was precisely the Two-headed Devil Dragon Great Emperor, Zhao Yuan.

His gaze pierced through the rolling devil clouds and landed on Huang Xiaolong and the others. When he looked at the small group of people guarding the treasure, the first thing he saw was the Flying Devil Python.

Since it had already returned to its true form, the Flying Devil Python hovered in the air with its mountain-like body. Its eyes were like two giant bottomless pools as it met Zhao Yuan’s gaze.

As soon as Zhao Yuan stared into its eyes, he jumped in shock. “Flying Devil Python!”

The Flying Devil Python was the Heavenless Archdevil Lord’s mount, and as the number one expert in the Kingdom of Devil Beasts, Zhao Yuan was more than clear about its identity.

Even though it had been several hundreds of millions of years since he had last met the Flying Devil Python, he recognized it instantly. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected to meet the Flying Devil Python under these circumstances.

Of course, the desire to subdue the Flying Devil Python soon rose in his heart as a crafty light flashed through Zhao Yuan’s eyes.

He knew that the Flying Devil Python possessed terrifying strength. However, he was confident in himself, and he wanted nothing more than to test out his strength.

It was too bad he recognized the person beside the Flying Devil Python the instant he laid eyes on him. Zhao Yuan’s body started to shake as he felt a bolt of lightning slamming into his mind. This… this…

“Father, what’s wrong?” Zhao Rou happened to step onto the ship’s deck and saw Zhao Yuan’s weird behavior, and a trace of suspicion arose in her heart.

Many ancestors of the Two-headed Devil Dragon Empire followed behind her.

“It’s the Flying Devil Python and Cang Mutian!” Zhao Yuan hesitated for a second before forcing a bitter smile on his face.

“What?! Isn’t the Flying Devil Python the Heavenless Archdevil Lord’s mount?”

“Cang Mutian! The strongest person in our Kingdom of Devil Beasts!”

The faces of Zhao Rou and the ancestors changed in an instant.

“That’s strange… The Heavenless Archdevil Lord and Cang Mutian had no relationship in the past. In fact, there was some beef between them… Why are they standing on the same side now?” Zhao Rou asked.

As the question left Zhao Rou’s lips, her gaze shifted slightly and landed on the two other individuals behind Cang Mutian. When she saw Huang Xiaolong and the little cow, her eyes widened a little as something in her mind clicked. Her expression changed as she said, “It’s him!”

Everyone stared at the look of disbelief on Zhao Rou’s face, and they stared at each other with a blank look.

Before Zhao Rou could explain herself, Zhao Yuan shook his head and laughed bitterly, “It’s Huang Xiaolong…”

Huang Xiaolong!

Everyone felt their pupils constricting as they fell into silence.

“Old Ancestor Azure Cow is present as well…” Zhao Yuan continued.

The look of shock soon turned to one of terror as the blood drained from their faces.

“Father, what do we do now?” Zhao Rou swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked.

“Let’s head over there first.” Zhao Yuan muttered under his breath. “I’ve known Lord Cang Mutian for quite some time now. Since we are fated to meet, I should pay my respects to him.”

After he spoke, Zhao Yuan ordered for the flying ship to stop as he personally led the experts under him towards Huang Xiaolong and the rest.

When the cultivators from the multitude of factions behind him saw what was happening, they couldn’t help but feel suspicious. Luckily for them, several old ancestors who were in the Sovereign Realm managed to recognize the Flying Devil Python, Cang Mutian, and the little cow. When they eventually guessed the identity of the young man they were standing around, the color on their faces disappeared.

“Old Ancestor, do we keep going?” One of the ancestors of the Sin Devil Sect probed when he saw the hesitation on their old ancestor’s face.

“We’ll wait here. Let’s wait for the Two-headed Devil Dragon Great Emperor to deal with them.” The old ancestor thought about it for a second before making the decision.
