Chapter 893: Aura of the De (1/1)

This scene startled Jiang Chen quite a bit He’d accidentally stuenitor of the wood demon parasites! It was the culprit for the parasites’ infinite plague If he could kill this enitor, then the source of the plague would be cut off Though parasites elsewhere could still reproduce, it wouldn’t be hard to exterenitor was incomparable to all others—none of its children could possiblyChen’s resolve to kill the monster Unfortunately, he had already playedhe had left was the restriction of his e A restriction made by an empyrean cultivator should theoretically kill this parasite progenitor with ease However, he only had two uses of it left Jiang Chen didn’t want to use theht suddenly popped into Jiang Chen’s mind Wood demon parasites had two natural eneonwhisker Water Didn’t he have a fresh supply of the latter on hand? He conjured Long Xiaoxuan up with a snap of his fingers “Brother Long, only your spit can contain thisXiaoxuan shot a sidelong glance at the ugly aboust With a curl of his body, he revealed his true foronwhisker Water scattered towards thein nature had a natural ene Chen had used so an to writhe in pain when doused with the water Plumes of smoke sizzled upwards from the places on its body where the water hadXiaoxuan unrelentlessly followed up with another sneeze As an to seep in, the e appeared on its carapace The monster itself shrieked loudly in pain However, the power of the olden ht Mirror slowed the beast twice over Its speed restricted, it could only onwhisker Water, its wounds only becae of ti Chen was unenitor didn’t look fully evolved Things wouldn’t have proceeded so s upon the Pentecolor Divine Swords once more, he readied to strike while his ene presences rushed through the air, hurtling towards Jiang Chen and Long Xiaoxuan without cereoldenXiaoxuan’s bodies to block the attack The two presences s booht flickering

“Solidified… aura? Is this the aura of a great eht with eh the presence of such a cultivator was fairly strong, there was no way that it could be focused into such a potent attack Not daring to fight further, the wood deenitor seized the opportunity to flee Tunneling into the air, it vanished without a trace

Jiang Chen tried to find it again using his God's Eye, but it had coust How unfortunate! Without those two presences, he could definitely have killed the monster But that was all conjecture The two presences had been quite extraordinary Though their source was unknown, he nevertheless felt threatened

“Are there great e Chen didn’t want to be reckless Now that he had the Requiem Wood, there was no need to stick around The heavy injuries that the parasite progenitor had sustained would take a while to heal On the other hand, the sudden attack cast a shadow over his heart He couldn’t e to explore further He had what he came for—there was no need to dally He couldn’t defeat the entire de to leave, he shot back towards the outskirts, Huang'er in tow

He wasn’t unwilling to explore further in, but he was reat e that so the demon’s movements It wouldn’t have attacked with aura alone otherwise If it had come personally, he would’ve had no chance of victory without using his e’s restriction

E Chen felt powerless before the reat ereat emperor realm demon was at least a hundred thousand years old, and thus likely to be stronger rather than weaker than Veluriyam’s e Chen didn’t fancy his chances to put up a fight These considerations only cemented his desire to leave

After an extended period of travel, Jiang Chen finally returned to the boundary between the forest and grassland By now, the sun was going down again He didn’t want to travel by night, so he cautiously made careat eht was uneventful, however There were no signs that a de Chen that the demon did indeed have reat loss for the de as it would just let hio It could only be that the de hi Chen departed at the dawn of the second day He only had one thought in oal of his journey had not been to investigate the demon race’s activities, but rather, to obtain the Requierasp His ownexperienced the chaotic astral winds once before, the plains weren’t as scary as they previously see creatures had died to the natural disaster, so Jiang Chen was met with noticeably less resistance Besides of the winds’ ravaging, perhaps it was Jiang Chen’s own er creatures of the plains He traveled through the grasslands in less than a day

He didn’t let his guard down once he was out though Just because he’d left the Wood Deurative woods Myriad Corpse Valley wasn’t a place that Jiang Chen enjoyed dawdling in, either, but it was squarely on his way back Thankfully, the valley wasn’t nearly as vast as the grasslands geographically If Jiang Chen proceeded at the sah in only about two hours There was no way around it Whether he wanted to enter or leave, he had to go through Myriad Corpse Valley

“Fro died in this valley Now that it’s been three days, I wonder howChen shook his head to himself He was very upset by Lu shi+nan’s defection to the dee losses the cultivators on this excursion would suffer thanks to the man’s act of betrayal The death of the prince, for one, had to be related

Once deceived, it was likely that most other cultivators would die to Lu shi+nan as well Lu shi+nan had such an innocent appearance, too He was very good at acting If Jiang Chen didn’t naturally dislike people like him, he could have been deceived as well

…

“Hht him back an important piece of news, but Lu shi+nan found it hard to believe Jiang Chen caet the short end of the stick sorasslands, and that’s why he ca Chen’s unexpected return naturally made Lu shi+nan very happy Three days had passed since the youth’s departure, and the de further Although he didn’t succeed at the task, Jiang Chen’s return was quite opportune and was essentially a second chance for hie The kid is on his way back here I don’t think he passed through the grasslands” Lu shi+nan relayed the information excitedly to his lord

“On his way back?” King Nineshadoas extre can he be if he didn’t even e, perhaps he has a special reason?” Lu shi+nan had an intense interest in Jiang Chen, far surpassing his interest in any other cultivator

The de didn’t care “You don’t need to pay attention to the kid You should keep a closer eye on the things I told you to do instead How many cultivators have come into this valley in the last three days?”

“Heh heh, we’ve had a good harvest in these last three days At least three thousand cultivators had their souls sucked out by my lord’s Soulreaver Banner They’re now your loyal corpse puppets Two thousand more have been poisoned by Demonshade Flowers They’ll become corpse puppets sooner or later”

“That only accounts for five thousand, yes? I thought you said there were twenty or thirty thousand?”

“It’s only been three days As tioes on, more cultivators will surely make their way in here,” Lu shi+nan chuckled “Moreover, there are already three ee’s deht, they’ll succuhed as well “I ah to have set this deraphical benefit The land here contains a prireat emperor of the Shadow Demons It’s been a hundred thousand years since then I’ve only repaired the formation to a third of its former effectiveness If His Majesty were to awaken and co even a couple of titled Great E cackled proudly He was especially pleased about what he’d just said

“My liege, you have received a true legacy froh time, I think it's quite possible for my lord to become the next Shadow Demon Emperor” Lu shi+nan was particularly well-versed at flattery

“Hah, you knoell How about this, I’ll let you take three thousand bone apparitions with you to block off that kid If you can get him to come before the Soulreaver Banner, all the better”

“Yes, your servant will do so immediately” Lu shi+nan was overjoyed
