Chapter 578: 216. Slaying the Dragon, Ancestor of Slaves (7.4K words - Large Chapter Asking for Subscription)_2
After speaking, it continued, "Brother Shi, we’re dealing with big matters here. You’ve truly come to the right place."
Song Yan hastily nodded, putting on a modest appearance, and repeatedly acknowledged.
The Shark Demon felt a strong urge to introduce things, wanting to open this young brother’s eyes.
As they walked and talked, both seemed to get along well.
Through this kind of introduction, Song Yan roughly understood the composition of the underwater "supply chain".
This formation is called the "Nine Dragons Locking Earth Array", and was established by a mysterious cultivator who calls himself the Ghost King, according to the Shark Demon.
The dragon statues replace the role of "Array Flag", and their material requirements are extremely stringent, rumored to be dragon bones.
Although the formation is named "Nine Dragons Locking Earth", there are more than nine statues; a new one appears at regular intervals.
As they increase, the area covered by the "Nine Dragons Locking Earth Array" also expands.
The demons gathered here are in a safe zone within the array shield, and those who enter recklessly, if they don’t reach the safe zone, could be killed by the Netherworld’s Qi.
Of course, this Netherworld’s Qi also serves as a strong concealment for their presence.
Once the Ghost King acts, the "Nine Dragons Locking Earth Array" will be activated, directing the Netherworld’s Qi to prearranged human towns, luring the Celestial Calamity Beast there. Then, a massacre will ensue, sacrificing both the Celestial Calamity Beast and humans.
The Ghost King’s subordinates are mostly Divine Infants from the surrounding areas who operate alone. Regardless of demons or humans, as long as they are strong and pass the tests, they will be recruited.
The Shark Demon is one such recruit.
However, the monotonous life within the array made the demons and cultivators develop the idea of "capturing some humans from the nearby area for fun."
Demons enjoy eating strong men’s flesh because it has chewiness.
Recently, the cultivators, accustomed to slaughter and death, also started to gradually degenerate. Many of them suggested bringing some young boys and girls, leading to the Cao Gang capturing scenes with boys and girls.
As for the emperors of the surrounding mortal kingdoms, they have long been under the control of these cultivators.
It’s all for enjoying life in such a precarious place.
Song Yan watched as he walked.
He always understood that he’s not a good person, but compared to him, the cultivators under the Ghost King’s command are the true evil heretics.
Evil should be at will, not reckless.
Evil has an evil heart, and with heart comes desires and emotions. With emotions and desires, one understands cause and effect. Respecting one’s own cause and effect, even if misunderstood by the world, doesn’t matter. It’s because the evil heart is carefree, needing no explanation.
However, these cultivators recklessly sacrificing lives made him feel quite ashamed to be associated with them.
Song Yan chatted and joked with the Shark Demon, but his eyes had narrowed.
He had a premonition.
Today is the day to end the cause and effect battle.
...
...
In the deep sea water patterns, the thick eyelids of the giant dragon slowly lifted, causing the surrounding water to ripple. Strands of life energy were flowing into his body, each inflow making the scales on his body clearer.
’A strange aura...’
Ultimately, in the home territory, the Yin Yang Profound Dragon discreetly activated the Nine Dragons Locking Earth Array, immediately seeing the Sword Cultivator walking with the Shark Demon.
The Yin Yang Profound Dragon pondered quietly: ’Sword Cultivator?’
By eavesdropping further, he gained new information: ’So it’s a newcomer.’
The giant dragon closed his eyes again.
Cultivators from the Star Luo Domain dispersing into the mortal world is normal, after all, many of his cultivators were found this way.
The deep sea returned to tranquility once more.
Yet after an incense stick of time, those eyes slowly opened again for unknown reasons.
’Better to be cautious, ask a few more questions, precaution is the long-term solution...’
Thinking of this, the Yin Yang Profound Dragon suddenly transmitted a message to Tang Changsheng wearing a Ghost Face, asking, "Did you have someone bring in a Sword Cultivator named Shi Huang?"
Tang Changsheng was holding a map, contemplating the next "Celestial Calamity Beast fishing" location. Feeling the message in his head, he suddenly frowned and said, "What Shi Huang?"
The Yin Yang Profound Dragon’s pupils contracted sharply, and he said in a deep voice, "The Shark Demon is bringing him your way; you should see him soon."
After his words, silence fell on the other side.
The Yin Yang Profound Dragon pressed on, "Tang Changsheng, what happened?!"
This time, there was a response.
Just three simple sentences, each one colder and more murderous than the last.
The first sentence.
"I see him now."
The second sentence.
"I don’t know this person, and if you don’t either, then... we have trouble."
The third sentence.
"He is either a celestial being or... Song Yan."
The Yin Yang Profound Dragon asked coldly, "What will you do?"
Tang Changsheng replied, "Kill him, and it will be another rich life energy harvest. Even Second Sister could fully escape the Sea of Suffering."
...
...
Tang Changsheng saw the Profound Robe Sword Cultivator and looked at the Shark Demon in surprise, smiling, "Our Inspection Envoy has brought another brother, well done, go claim your reward."
The Shark Demon scratched its head stupidly. It suddenly realized that "it might not have the authority to bring people into the array without permission," but the Ghost King’s attitude seemed amicable and happy, indicating it hadn’t made a mistake.
However, what puzzled the Shark Demon was why the Ghost King used the word "again"?
It hadn’t snapped out of its daze yet and muddledly withdrew, thoughtfully closing the stone door behind it.
Tang Changsheng, wearing a Ghost Face, sat imposingly on the Coral Throne.
The surrounding area had no water flow, but was an open Cave Mansion.
On the table, there was Profound Fruit Spirit Tea, with the aroma still lingering.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Tang Changsheng asked.
Immediately, he smiled and said, "You might not be aware yet, but here, we are all brothers. Helping each other before the end of the world is quite normal."
