537 Double Demons in the South Mountains (2/2)
”The Roc Flying Freely method, one of the Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds, has never before involved this body movement. I didn't think it would be this quick. It cannot be outdone by the Three Realms Division. A thousand miles in a flash, how interesting! Worth looking into!” Zhou Bao had just recognized the movement used by the bird demon when he escaped, it was actually one of the types of Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds he had just learned. The Roc Flying Freely method was allegedly one of the quickest body movements in heaven and on earth. It was from a Fierce Beast from primitive times and it was claimed that the special ability of this legendary golden-winged bird was to travel hundreds of thousands of miles away in a flap of its wings.
Although the bird-man did not use it to its full potential, it had already traveled countless hundreds of miles and was back looking at Zhou Bao from afar with greedy eyes.
After the two Demonic Immortals left, Zhou Bao turned to look at Chen Shoubai, and with a slight sneer in his eyes said, ”Deacon Chen, the defenses in Mountainside Town are far too lax! Anything can just come in and attack at will!”
”This matter was caused by the thoughtlessness of the Chen Ancestral Temple. It was us who let them in!” Chen Shoubai did not at all try to shift the blame. His face was slightly white, his expression was stern. ”Rest assured that the Chen Ancestral Temple will give you an explanation!”
”Ok, then. However, I think that with guys like that, the more the better. If they kill off all the other competition, how can that be bad? Haha!”, Zhou Bao laughed thoughtlessly.
”If such a good thing were to happen in this world, then I would also compete for the throne of the emperor!”, Chen Shoubai laughed coldly. ”Well, now that this is all basically over, I think with you by his side, His Majesty won't have to worry about his safety, right?!”
”I'm here to watch the bustle, not to act as a bodyguard!”, Zhou Bao replied indistinctly. ”When we get to your territory, our safety is your responsibility, isn't it?!”
”Okay. Then from now on, I promise that no one will dare attack you again!”, Chen Shoubai shouted before storming off.
”That's more like it!”
”Zhou Bao, you can't be too nice, this is someone else's territory after all!” Yan Yuntian, seeing Chen Shoubai's storming off with a face full of shame, couldn't help but try to urge Zhou Bao.
”It is because it is their territory that they have to take responsibility. In my opinion, the Chen Ancestral Temple has seen too many peaceful days. They haven't taken even the most basic precautions, it's really disappointing!” Zhou Bao ranted uncontrollably. Hearing this, Yan Yuntian frowned and felt that today there was something wrong with Zhou Bao's attitude.
He heard a strange sound from outside, but he continued his conversation. ”You can't blame the Chen Ancestral Temple entirely for this, the Penglai Region and your Central Mainland Region have also been peaceful for a long time, and with the Temple right in the middle of the Divine Wind Palace, there is no one foolish enough to come over looking for trouble. So you can take it easy!”
”Who would come over looking for trouble?” Yan Yuntian went pale.
He was the leader of the Jin dynasty, and was a candidate for Human Emperor in the Four Eastern Regions. He cultivated himself to Level Nine and was only one step away from the Mysterious Realm. He was extremely powerful with only a few losses in his record. Everything was fine now that they had arrived in the Penglai Region. They had barely seen the scenery and a tiger demon appeared and nearly snatched and killed them. Then, when they had barely caught their breath, some guy surreptitiously snuck in beside them. How could he not be annoyed?
”How did His Majesty not recognize me?” A figure flashed in front of their eyes.
”Brother Yu, is it you?”, Yan Yuntian showed a pleasantly surprised expression when he realized who was coming, ”How come you're here?”
”If you're coming to attend the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony, I'll come along too for sure!” The person who appeared was a man dressed in black. It was the same guy who was in the middle of Imperial City—Western Capital, who Yan Yuntian called Brother Yu. This man was one of the Yu family, his name was Yu Nancheng and he was considered a senior. He was Yu Nantian's cousin and was in the second generation of the Yu family. However, he was by no means young. He was a whole 40 years older than Yu Nantian. His father, Yu Taixuan was the older brother of Yu Taixu, the owner of the Divine Wind Palace. This branch of the Yu family had died off so long ago, and even though he was in charge, it was not powerful at all. It was nowhere near as powerful as Yu Taixu's branch, nor Yu Taicang's. But ever since Yu Taicang was killed by Zhou Bao, in Yu Taicang's branch has never again appeared such a man as him, and it started to fall apart. Yu Nancheng also took this opportunity to reclaim all things he lost to this branch for so many years, and he grew in power.
”This guy must be the leopard from Yunzhou, haha! Seeing is believing, right!? He scared away the Double Demons in the South Mountains, and really dealt a blow to the White Forehead Tiger! So amazing!”
”Are those two famous?!”, Zhou Bao asked.
”The Double Demons in the South Mountains are quite known in the Penglai Region. I thought you knew. The power of the Demon tribe in the Seven-deity Regions is no match for those in the Sea Area. There simply is no space for them. They are all Demonic Immortals capable of rampant behavior in the Seven-deity Regions. Most of them might even have some skills. Those Double Demons we saw just now have a reputation. One is called the White Forehead Tiger and is a millennium tiger demon, the most ferocious of all. The other is the Golden-winged Eagle, probably a little younger than the White Forehead Tiger, but he is a Primordial Fierce Beast of the legendary golden-winged bloodline. The Roc Flying Freely method, allegedly the fastest in the land, was passed down to him. They're all difficult creatures to deal with. You came to the Penglai Region and scared them away. It won't be long until your name spreads around here!”
”Famous in Penglai?” Zhou Bao raised his eyebrows and shook his head. ”This is not my territory. My name should not be known like this!”
”You destroyed the White Forehead Tiger with your own hands. There's no way you won't be famous!” Yu Nancheng smiled. ”The Double Demons in the South Mountains are the White-feathered Demon King's sidekicks. The White-feathered Demon King will not take what happened lying down!”
”Isn't Penglai Region within the territory of your Divine Wind Palace? Divine Wind Palace is the biggest of the five big sects, with unrivaled power. How does Penglai still have a demon king? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing!”, Zhou Bao was puzzled.
