Chapter 287 - 257: Leader of the Heavenly Corpse Sect
ancient xuzhou in the central part.
cloud mountain.
the tail end leads directly to the eastern sea, with the southern part being the binhai relics, one can say it’s the eastern cloud continent’s last dangerous stronghold.
in the central area of the mountain range, three nascent spirit veins had been discovered, alongside a large number of ancient cultivation relics, prompting three great demon beasts to occupy and establish a bloodline laboratory.
the three great demons were rather close, having sworn brotherhood through a ritual, with the leader being the purple lion, the eastern demon king of cloud continent, who commanded both land and sea, with tens to hundreds of millions of ferocious beasts under his command.
that day.
the purple lion sent a message to white elephant and black hawk, discussing how to resist the human race’s great army.
the screen displayed the map of the eastern cloud continent, with a large number of red dots moving eastward from the human territory, less than five hundred miles away from where the three demons were.
white elephant curled his trunk and said, "big brother, the human army is unstoppable, we alone simply cannot hold them back!"
"humans have already breached yellow sand mountain, the yellow wolf’s hundred thousand ferocious beasts, lasted only half a month before they were completely annihilated."
black hawk said helplessly, "that martial saint is too fierce, capable of shattering mountains with a single blow, always slaying demon races before battle. with beasts of lower intelligence and without command, they can only be slaughtered at will!"
purple lion nodded slightly, "this king also didn’t think we could truly stop them, but we must put on a show, otherwise the demon emperor would blame us, and we’d have trouble bearing it."
"big brother, how is the battle going on qiong continent?"
upon hearing this, white elephant immediately felt relieved, as long as they didn’t have to fight to the death, it didn’t matter how many of his underling beasts died.
the conflict in cloud continent was just a small regional dispute in the grand scheme of the nine continents, what the demon race truly cared about was the outcome of the battle in qiong continent, between the dragon emperor and the three emperors, which concerned the future direction of the demon race.
purple lion shook his head, "that dragon emperor is even stronger than the usual demon king, and dragon emperor mountain has turned into a flesh-and-blood mill, with no victor yet."
the majority of the demon race supported the three emperors; no demon race wanted to become a servant, yet with strength reaching the level of the dragon emperor, one could already claim a race of one’s own, resisting the billions of beasts with the descendants of dragon blood.
"we must hold cloud mountain for at least half a year, to show that we have made an effort..."
after arranging three or four fallback plans, han chao used an escape technique to penetrate the mountain and landed in a certain room in the laboratory.
he happened upon a patrolling beast, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen immobilizing talismans subdued it, then he deftly stored it in his storage bag.
given the scarcity of newly created demon race members, mundane, strenuous tasks such as patrolling were left to the beasts; with their confused consciousness, soul search was difficult, and han chao reluctantly continued his search in the laboratory.
by chance, he entered a testing station and saw a rabbit demon injecting elixir no. 0 into a wild beast.
with a human body, dressed sparsely, only its head bore long ears, with a fluffy white tail behind it. upon seeing zhou yi, it subconsciously moved to hit the alarm.
swish!
han chao spat out the demon-suppressing pagoda, as buddha’s light bloomed, easily shattering the upper body of the rabbit demon.
soul search!
utilizing the ghost king sect’s secret technique, he gathered the remaining soul of the rabbit demon to probe, and quickly learned the news that the three demons and purple lion were gathered together.
"all three demons are here!"
han chao shook his head slightly and prepared to leave, planning to set traps at the white elephant laboratory, waiting patiently and ambushing; with the traps, he would surely slay the elephant demon.
woo woo woo—
a series of piercing alarms spread throughout the entire laboratory.
"this is the monitoring station, be warned, there is an intruder in area seven! be warned, area seven..."
han chao’s brow furrowed as he swept the room with his divine sense, discovering several hidden camera devices in the testing station that clearly captured the nearby scene.
"leave first, then make further plans."
just as he was about to use the escape light to flee underground, a dazzling light condensed into a barrier, the ground instantly hardening like steel.
"which brat dares wreak havoc in my territory? today is good timing, as my second and third brothers are here; we’ll catch you and cook up several dishes to entertain them!"
the boisterous voice of purple lion rang out, but his figure was nowhere to be seen; instead, a powerful assault surged forward.
