Chapter 278: Various experts
Chu Tian hurried along while examining the thing in his hand.
The Heavenly Demon Cult was a warring kingdom and the scarlet blood branch was one of the branches, so they had a deep history.The scarlet blood branch at its peak had over six hundred thousand people with branch lords for every twenty thousand people and one leader for every three hundred thousand people.That meant there were thirty branch lords and two leaders, as well as the scarlet blood head venerate.
This might was just too terrifying!
The normal branch lords were stronger than the Eight Marquises, so the leaders had to be equal to the Three Rulers.The scarlet blood head venerate at their peak had to be above the Three Rulers, even be far above them, being able to match the Hell Fire Demon that entered Thunder State.
How shocking!
This was at least too shocking for Chen Bingyu and Nangong Yun!
The Heavenly Demon Cult had many branches and the scarlet blood branch was just one branch.They might not be one of the strongest branches and they could already destroy the Southern Summer Country.Just how strong was the Heavenly Demon Warring Kingdom in the past?
When the scarlet blood headquarters had been destroyed, most of the elites had been killed.
Only ten branch lords, one leader, and one head venerate had escaped.
It was already impossible for them to make a comeback at the time, so they decided to use the forbidden technique to fake their deaths and wait several hundred thousand years and rebuild themselves.Of the ten branch lords, three died in Chu Tian’s hands and it was unknown what happened to the other seven.
The forbidden cultivation technique came with a high risk.The weaker one was, the weaker one’s spirit energy, so it was very likely to die during the slumber.The other branch lords most likely died during their sleep. The leader had already awakened and was in their old headquarters.As for the head venerate? He was such a strong person that he wouldn’t be unlucky enough to die in his sleep!
Perhaps the Heavenly Demon Cult had fallen.
But it had once been very magnificent.
Chu Tian had a pass in and if he didn’t go in, how could he be satisfied?Not to mention the fact that if the scarlet blood head venerate were to revive, it would be a great danger to the Southern Summer Country.Chu Tian was not very patriotic, but if the Heavenly Demon Cult revived, it would affect Miracle Commerce.
He did not want to see this, so he had to stop this demon from reviving!
After travelling for several days, the three of them arrived at a place called Scarlet Swamp Town.This small town had a large population, housing over a hundred thousand people. The buildings were very crude and the ground was not paved.Whether the adults or the children, all the citizens seemed like rustic people.
There’s no other way.
Who let this small town be built on a swamp?
“The entire way was covered in mud.”Nangong Yun sat down in a hotel room and immediately took off her long boots, pouring out swamp water from inside, “Damn, my boots are filled with water.This old lady’s feet are almost rotten from soaking in this!”
Chu Tian couldn’t help taking a look.
Nangong Yun did not have Meng Qingwu’s devilish legs, but her legs were still long and slender, conforming to the golden ratio.Her snow white legs were long and slender, and they were well proportioned with her round butt. She had a very fiery style to her.
“The town is on the edge of the Scarlet Swamp and the Scarlet Swamp is a swamp region in Cang State, as well as Southern Summer’s largest swamp, so of course it wouldn’t have any roads.”Chu Tian then added, “We need to enter the Scarlet Swamp next, so let’s first have a good rest. Our travels the next few days will not be easy.”
The eighteen Divine Blood Yin Corpse had half turned into clay dolls.
Chu Tian cleaned them up and then took out several large barrels.He engraved a refining array on it and then placed the essence blood inside, directly refining them.
The Divine Blood Yin Corpses would be no help in the Scarlet Swamp.
It would be better to use the time to refine them using the materials he had obtained from the branch lords.
Nangong Yun put on her boots and walked to the window, opening the curtains to take a look, “The Scarlet Swamp is filled with fatal gas, so how could people live in a place like this!”
“Although the town is small, they have a rich variety of products!The products of the swamp cannot be found anywhere else!”
“I found something.”Chen Bingyu suddenly came into the room and coldly said, “Come with me to have a look.”
The two of them were curious and followed Chen Bingyu out of the hotel.They saw a black mark on the walls on one of the back streets of the town.This mark seemed very ordinary and normal people just considered it a doodle, but the three of them could tell that this mark did not have a simple significance.
Nangong Yun asked hesitantly, “This is?”
“That’s right, the Heavenly Demon Cult’s secret signal.”Chu Tian gave the answer, “The scarlet blood leader has already arrived in Scarlet Swamp Town and is currently waiting in the town.”
Nangong Yun immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
This can’t be!
That fellow came this fast?
Chu Tian did not have time to speak before shocked cries came from the citizens in the street.The swamp lizard beast carts carrying goods lost control as they randomly ran about, splashing up mud and stepping on several citizens.
The street quickly fell into chaos.
The three of them could feel a strong and aggressive aura coming from the west of the town.It was this aura that shocked the beast carts, creating all this chaos.
“There is a strong demon beast coming!”
As soon as this was said.
A giant demon beast passed over them.That large pair of wings cast a giant shadow and a terrifying aura suddenly spread that made all the citizens and beast carriages hide in fear.The swamp lizards all hid on the ground, trembling while not daring to make a move.
This demon beast looked very fierce, being around eight meter long.It did not have feathers and was very smooth, with rough brown skin that gave people a firm feeling.When it spread its wings, one could clearly see its skeleton. At the end of its giant tail was a green, arrow like object that left traces of green light wherever it went.
Chu Tian shouted in surprise, “Dual Winged Poison Dragon!”
The Dual Wing Poison Dragon was not a real dragon, but rather a high grade poison attribute demon beast.
The griffin mounts of the Southern Summer royal guards were merely level two low grade demon beasts, yet they still cost over thirty million per mount.This was because flying demon beast mounts were far more expensive than land demon beast mounts!
