Chapter 1387 Where Are You Going?
“What… is this?”
The leading Blood Demon was incomparably at a loss and had sunk into a stupor.
“Heavens, a Roc!”
“A living Roc!”
The two Demon Generals behind began to tremble.
If Yue Wuwei didn’t suppress them, no one knew what would happen to them.
Of the five thousand demons, only three thousand remained. No one dared move, deathly afraid of being targeted.
The demons in the city were stunned as well.
“What’s that?”
“It’s a Roc! A Roc! The greatest amongst Exotic Beasts.”
“It’s… a Roc?” Demon General Mu Lunze suddenly became excited. “It looks like it has just been born. We must get it! Get it!”
He didn’t care about the treasures in the imperial city or Zhang Hanyang, the one who drew the sword, at this moment. All he was thinking about was how to get the Roc.
“Someone among them raised a Roc?”
Elder Jinchuan’s breathing quickened.
“Wonderful!
“I’m finally getting something extremely precious.”
“Someone in their team killed several high-position officials of Myriad Mountains Palace.
“So he has a reason to attack, even if we report this matter to the headmaster, we will still be supported.
“They will use a Roc to obtain the forgiveness of the Myriad Mountains Palace.”
But would it work for real?
“The demons are here.
“The Illusory Mansion and War Saint Abyss will definitely compete for it.”
“The craziest might be the Demonic God Temple.
“Rocs have a hundred percent chance of reaching the Tribulation Stage easily and their talent is powerful. With Roc’s help, the Demonic God Temple won’t fear the Demon Clan!
“If humans obtain it, and if I can obtain it, I’ll be able to leave the Domain of Seven Desolations and travel to the vast starry road through the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven. I can just go anywhere.
“I must find a way to get it!”
There were many thoughts running through Jinchuan’s mind.
However, what could not be changed was his greed.
The oldest elder of the Illusory Mansion calmed down fairly quickly. He glanced around and felt a chill run down his spine. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
“Those people raised a Roc, and what kind of origins do they have? It seems like the world has all underestimated them.”
The old man secretly retreated dozens of meters with the people of the Illusory Mansion and said in the most peripheral direction that they did not want to get involved in this matter.
The most savage ones were the Exotic Beasts.
“Oh, my God.”
“Roc Clan.”
“The heavens have shown mercy to our Demonic God Temple and actually sent over a powerful Roc!”
“Let’s go! Let’s charge over and protect Lord Roc!”
“GRWAAAAAH!”
Hiss!
More than half of the Exotic Beasts began to run madly.
However, the strong preyed on the weak.
A python close to the Integration Realm was hissing, its cold eyes full of desire.
“If I am able to devour this Roc, my bloodline, the Ancient Demon Serpent, will be completed!”
The leading python made up its mind.
It looked around and found that some of the leading Exotic Beasts were looking at the Roc with burning eyes.
A newborn Roc had a strong bloodline. If one devoured it and absorbed its bloodline power attributes, it would simply be an enormous blessing.
“A Roc that hasn’t even matured yet dares to wander the outside world.”
The Giant Lizard King yearned to become a top master that could evolve into a Silver Winged Dragon. It wanted to devour the Kun in front of it.
“Follow the main group to go over!”
“Wait for an opportunity to make a move and then kill with a single strike!”
“…”
There were too many ideas to carry out.
The entire Exotic Beast legion began to move.
“Kill these beasts.”
A demon captain growled.
The demons near the imperial city also began to move, fighting against the Exotic Beasts.
However, as soon as the two teams moved-
“Coo!”
A soft and agile cry seemed to have come from all directions and resounded across the sky.
It was the cry of a Roc.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The demons halted, as did the Exotic Beasts.
Everyone raised their heads slightly, looking toward the sky.
The giant figure suddenly burst into endless black mist.
Like thousands of floating handkerchiefs, they spread toward the demons below.
“Coo.”
Tiny Tot cried out again.
The black mist that erupted became even deeper.
It was like a gust of wind.
The clamor was blown away.
The scene became dead silent.
Black fog filled the air.
The leading Blood Demon and a thousand demons bore the brunt of the attack.
When they were covered by the fog, they felt their souls tremble. Wisps of souls were stripped, torn apart, and devoured.
“Ahhhh!”
“Use the soul protection technique now.”
They wanted to escape, and they used their defensive techniques.
They had indeed blocked quite a few attacks.
However, there seemed to be no end to the black mist.
It attacked them one round after another.
“I can’t block it!”
“Run now!”
The leading Blood Demon saw his subordinates perish one by one.
He shouted hoarsely.
Everyone fleeing in all directions to divert attention was the right choice.
“Coo!”
However, something unexpected happened again.
The figure that blotted out the sun in the sky, the Roc, moved.
It flapped its wings.
Crystal blue light whizzed over from the wings.
A tornado formed instantly, surrounding the group of people.
Clatter!
The leading Blood Demon’s heart seemed to stop beating.
The Roc’s mobility restriction ability was too strong.
On one hand, it devoured souls, and on the other, it restricted their physical bodies.
This combination attack was hard to defend against.
“AH!”
Some people’s souls were torn apart.
The awareness of the strongest one, the leading Blood Demon, had turned fuzzy.
“Who am I?
“Hahaha, kill!
“I am the King of Blood Demons!
“Hmm? Where am I?”
He was completely dumbfounded.
His soul dissipated faster. After roaring a few words, he was suddenly in a daze, and then the color in his eyes faded away slowly.
He was still breathing and his heart was beating.
However, his soul was gone. All that was left was his body. Like a walking corpse, his life force rapidly dissipated.
If the people of the Corpse Refinery Sect were here, they would definitely treat Tiny Tot as a holy object.
It was simply like a divine weapon of their sect.
It had terrifying abilities.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
One by one, the demons fell into the swamp, their figures vanishing.
Under the gazes of everyone, a thousand demon elites had perished, just like that.
Tiny Tot’s attack was covered in black fog, leaving only half of it intact. The crystal-blue windstorm persisted, constantly changing its shape to surround the two Demon Generals in a daze as well as several thousand demons next to them.
“So, so powerful.”
The second king of the White Dog Clan was stunned.
Yuan Yi said, “They have a Roc. Well, they have a Roc. Ah!”
It was shocked.
“Let’s leave!”
Seeing that even they were trapped in the encirclement, Yuan Yi was shocked.
It hurriedly stepped back.
There was no obstruction to passing through the storm.
Tiny Tot might not recognize them, but Zhao Feng, Mu Xue, and the others were standing with them.
After their own people retreated, Tiny Tot began its attack.
However, it was still growing.
It used all its strength, but it could only trap the remaining demon troop. They used all kinds of defensive techniques, which made Tiny Tot helpless.
Clatter!
The attack lasted 30 seconds.
All of a sudden, it dissipated. A black-flowing light cut through the void and came to Zi Yan.
“Coo, Coo, Coo.”
Tiny Tot had turned into a penguin. It flapped its wings and barked at Zi Yan.
“I’m tired so I have stopped.”
Zi Yan was stunned at first and seemed to understand its meaning. She smiled and raised her right hand.
Swoosh!
Tiny Tot turned into a stream of light and entered Zi Yan’s right wrist.
Mengmeng blinked and said, “Tiny Tot is so powerful.”
“Oh my god!”
The second king of the White Dog Clan ran over quickly and looked horrified. “You, you have a Roc. What kind of Roc is it?”
“Yeah!” Yuan Yi took a step forward, squatted down, and asked, “What kind of Roc is it?”
Zi Yan first answered, “Its name is Tiny Tot.”
It was quite a stunning answer.
Then, she said something that made people’s hair stand on end.
“It is an Ancient Cursed Roc.”
“Holy…”
“Damn!”
“What? An, an Ancient Cursed Roc?”
“How is this possible? An Ancient Cursed Roc appeared here?”
“That’s the legendary top existence of the Roc Clan. The Ancient Cursed Rocs are born without realm shackles and can reach the Tribulation Stage Ninth Tier with ease.”
Yuan Yi, the second king of the White Dog Clan, and their tribesmen were completely stunned.
“This is too terrifying.”
It was indeed terrifying.
Zhang Guangyou and the others were also extremely shocked.
How long had Tiny Tot been growing?
Now that it was at the God Transformation Peak Stage and almost at the Void-refining Realm Early Stage, it was able to kill several Shadow Refining cultivators and over a thousand God Transformation cultivators.
It seemed that it could fight even if it wanted to, but it was a little tired and unwilling to fight.
Such strength was shocking.
“What should we do now?” Zhao Feng took a deep breath and looked at the dumbfounded demons.
There were more than a thousand demons outside the city, and almost all of them were killed by the White Dog Clan and the Giant Ape Clan.
Tiny Tot killed another thousand.
The remaining three thousand or so remained around the two Demon Generals, awaiting their orders.
But those two Demon Generals still had their hands clasped behind their backs, looking over indifferently. It was like they had just won, which was quite stunning.
It also made Demon General Mu Lunze furious.
“Trash! A group of trash!
“What are you two doing?”
Mu Lunze’s angry voice resounded between heaven and earth.
“We feel miserable, but we can’t say it out loud.”
Both of them were sad.
But they maintained their postures.
They could also hear the mocking laughter behind them.
The python said coldly, “It’s only been a few minutes, but two thousand demons have died. The two Demon Generals outside are still acting like seniors. Impressive, truly impressive.”
“This is what steadiness and patience mean,” the Horned Pig said.
“Hahaha, it is indeed powerful. After all, it’s their Demon Generals,” an elder from the War Saint Abyss mocked.
Demons were their enemies, to begin with. It was only natural that they’d mock the demons since they were defeated.
“Mu Lunze!”
An elder of the Myriad Mountains Palace shouted, “There are only about 7,000 people left in your demon army. If we join forces with the Demonic God Temple, we may be able to keep you here.”
“Huh, what are you trying to say?” Mu Lunze’s face darkened. He was ready for a bloody battle.
“We came here for the treasures in the Fiend Cave.”
Jinchuan said, “No matter what treasures we get, those people must be handed over to us! Because they belong to the Human Clan!”
“Okay.”
He thought that Mu Lunze would say something disdainfully.
Unexpectedly, the Demon General nodded and agreed directly.
“Phew.”
Jinchuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that something was wrong.
Something was indeed wrong.
“I want the Roc just now and the person who drew the sword. As for the others, whatever,” Mu Lunze said lightly.
“Mu Lunze.” Jinchuan’s face darkened slightly. “Don’t be too greedy.”
“Rocs belong to the Demonic God Temple. Your decisions don’t mean anything!” an Exotic Beast yelled.
It was as though a war between three sides was about to break out.
Yue Wuwei was calmly watching the scene from the imperial city.
Moments later, Zhang Han’s eyelashes trembled.
He turned his head and said, “Is it done? Hurry up. We should get out there as soon as possible.”
Crack!
It was as if his words worked.
A crack appeared in the black phoenix’s inner pellet.
The debates outside continued ceaselessly.
Zi Yan and the others stopped attacking.
The other two Demon Generals and three thousand demons remained where they were. Those two watched everything indifferently.
Their men were a little confused. “Should we continue to fight or retreat? Give us an order!”
“Shall we continue?”
The second king of the White Dog Clan suppressed the shock in its heart and even lowered its voice a lot. It glanced at the demon troop in front of them.
“They are arguing.”
Zhang Mu said, “It seems that it will take a while. Why don’t we just wait? Han may come out soon. The longer we delay, the better it will be for us.”
“Yeah.” Zi Yan nodded slightly. “He’s right. Elder Yue just told me that they were about to finish.”
“Phew… Let’s wait then.”
Everyone stepped back hundreds of meters in unison.
“Humph, once Master comes out, he will kill them all!” Mu Xue icily glared at the crowd that was arguing.
It was very lively.
“Mu Lunze, if you are too arrogant, we may join hands with the Demonic God Temple to kill you.” Jinchuan threatened in a cold voice.
Mu Lunze was furious about this.
But he forced himself to calm down.
It was not the time to shed all pretenses.
If they really joined forces, he could escape, but the seven thousand demons would be doomed.
It was not worth it.
“My bottom line is the Roc,” Mu Lunze said.
It was a compromise.
“In your dreams. That Roc belongs to Demonic God Temple,” the giant python said coldly.
“If I’m not mistaken, that Roc belongs to that woman. She’s a human, so naturally, it belongs to the Human Clan.”
Their discussion led to no end.
It seemed that they couldn’t get this matter solved.
They all wanted the Roc.
After all, it was alive and still growing up. Such things would be crazily fought for by Tribulation Stage masters in the Cultivation World.
Furthermore, these people were far from being able to reach the Tribulation Stage.
“You want to fight?”
Mu Lunze sneered. He looked behind him and designated Voice-transmitting Technique to the two Demon Generals, “Come back!”
Unexpectedly, the two Demon Generals remained floating in the void outside the city with their hands behind their backs as they looked down at the world in an aloof manner.
“Damn it!”
Mu Lunze’s heart trembled with anger.
“I told you to come back!”
He gnashed his teeth and designated Voice-transmitting Technique.
However, those two remained still.
“I’ll say it one last time. Come back!
“Nothing?
“Come back!
“I will kill you.”
After he sent more than ten voice transmissions, there was still no sound from them.
Mu Lunze even wanted to kill them.
But it was strange.
“Could they have been bewitched?
“Or is it a powerful illusion?”
In the end, he hesitated and gave up the idea of going out of the city to teach them a lesson.
He would never have imagined that the other two Demon Generals would be completely suppressed.
This kind of thing was beyond his level and was unimaginable.
In the inner city, there were only five thousand demons, but they were still at a disadvantage. If it weren’t for Mu Lunze being so terrifying, their team would have been eaten long ago.
“The Roc belongs to that person, and that person is a human, so it will be handed over to us,” one of the elders said agitatedly. “How can I not explain myself?”
“Who cares? Rocs belong to the Demonic God Temple.”
“Let’s start from the beginning. The Domain of Seven Desolations is divided into the Human Clan, the Demon Clan, and Exotic Beasts…”
“Rocs belong to the Demonic God Temple.”
“That one belongs to that woman.”
“Rocs belong to the Demonic God Temple.”
“…”
To reason with unreasonable people was simply torture.
Jinchuan was so angry that he didn’t want to speak.
The other elders spoke less and less.
Demon General Mu Lunze didn’t say a word and just watched coldly.
Gradually, the crowd quieted down.
“Why don’t we wipe out the Demon Clan first?” A cold light flashed in Jin Chuan’s eyes as he suggested.
“I think it’s doable.” The python’s killing intent surged as it led the pythons forward.
Mu Lunze’s face was extremely gloomy.
He thought for a moment and said, “Since the living Roc can’t be distributed, then let’s divide the dead.”
“How?” The python paused.
Clatter!
Jinchuan had a bad feeling.
The other elders were also nervous.
The situation changed rapidly.
“I don’t want its inner pellet, blood, or energy. I only want its soul and body,” Mu Lunze said slowly.
“How will that work?” An Exotic Beast said, “A Roc can definitely grow into a Holy Beast of Tribulation Stage. How could we kill it and then distribute it?”
“I think that it will work,” the python said.
“Why don’t we join forces to deal with these low-level creatures first?” Mu Lunze looked at the human army.
“I think that it will work,” the python said again.
“No.”
Some of the powerful Exotic Beasts refused.
They could’ve fought for the entire Roc.
Its inner pellet and blood might be tempting, but the gains would not make up for the losses. Even if they did get those things, who would they be given to?
But when they refused, the python seemed to have sent them a voice transmission.
These powerful Exotic Beasts all calmed down, feeling great hostility toward the Human Clan.
“We don’t want the Roc.”
The elder of the Illusory Mansion said, “If the whole Roc is given to your Demonic God Temple, we only need to keep that group of people. Now, isn’t it better for us to deal with the Demon Clan together and kill them?”
Quite a few Exotic Beasts were moved, and some nodded. “Good idea. Let’s kill Mu Lunze first.”
“The demons are annoying here.”
But Mu Lunze had another way.
He coldly smiled. “You want to keep those people. If I’m not mistaken, the little Roc is their contracted beast. What will happen when it matures?”
Hiss!
The crowd was persuaded again.
If that were the case, how could they allow the Demonic God Temple to become a subsidiary of humans?
Although the Roc was powerful, it should never acknowledge humans as its hosts.
“Everything is predetermined.”
An Exotic Beast said slowly, “There is no need to keep the Roc alive. It’s better to distribute its inner pellet and blood.”
They finally reached an agreement.
An elder of the War Saint Abyss urgently said, “We don’t want these. You can study them yourselves.”
Jinchuan’s face darkened. He said, “If you want to fight, let’s fight! Let’s see who will win in the end!”
As for the result of their discussion.
The giant apes and white dogs outside the city turned up their noses at them.
The second king of the White Dog Clan thought of what Dahei had cursed and said, “Idiots.”
“We have a Supreme Expert here.
“They even want to divide the Roc?
“How ridiculous.”
“You’ll stay here to suppress the Human Clan.”
Mu Lunze said with a gloomy face, “I’ll go outside the city and kill the disobedient demons. I’ll bring those people along as well.”
“I’ll go with you.” With these words, the python and thousands of other Exotic Beasts set out. They would go outside the city with the demons.
The matter seemed to have been settled.
But just as they were about to set off.
An incomparably deep, hoarse, and strange voice suddenly resounded.
“Where are you going?”
Slap! Slap!
Mu Lunze suddenly felt that his shoulder had been patted several times.
Swoosh!
His expression changed drastically.
“What is this?
“Someone slapped me. How could I not feel it?
“How is this possible?”
He was truly frightened.
In the blink of an eye, he moved forward dozens of meters and turned his head.
Unexpectedly, he saw that a human figure hidden in the faint black fog was following closely behind him.
That man’s face and body were constantly changing as if they were being pulled by an extremely faint black mist.
At times they dissipated and at times they condensed into a human figure.
“Is he the one who drew the sword?”
Mu Lunze’s pupils shrank.
Looking at the shadow only half a meter away from him, he felt chills go down his spine.
“What kind of skill is this?”
“Where are you going?”
The shadow spoke in a hoarse voice again.
It was a kind of palpitating voice.
The humans, Exotic Beasts, and demons present were all flabbergasted.
It hadn’t been easy for them to reach an agreement.
In the end, another change occurred.
