Xiang Shaoyun used the Nether Dragon Soul Curse on Winter Frost and Summer Flame. This time, he was extremely careful. He did not dare to be careless. After all, both of them had a soul foundation protecting their respective soul. The soul curse might not be able to easily reach their souls.
Fortunately, their soul foundations were sealed at the moment. Therefore, they couldn’t put up much resistance for now, allowing Xiang Shaoyun’s soul curse to enter their souls again and again.
Winter Frost and Summer Flame were not to be underestimated. Their souls had long solidified. If their souls weren’t sealed, Xiang Shaoyun’s soul curse would have shattered before it could even get near them. But now, Winter Frost and Summer Flame were dying and were too helpless to do anything about the curse.
Of course, they still attempted to resist. They lasted a short while, but as more and more symbols floated over to them, they were no longer able to resist, and they ultimately fell under Xiang Shaoyun’s control.
Done with controlling the two, Xiang Shaoyun heaved a breath of relief as he thought, Finally, I managed to control the two geezers. If Duo Ji knows this, he will be mad with joy. Xiang Shaoyun was willing to owe Shang Jifeng a favor just so he could put these two geezers under his control. For this, owing one favor was worth it.
After he was done, he sensed the Soul Foundation Realm experts of the Shang Clan observing him secretly. However, he did not care. So what if they knew he could control Winter Frost and Summer Flame? Without the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, one would not be able to use the Nether Dragon Soul Curse. Thus, nobody could repeat what he had just done.
Xiang Shaoyun brought the two with him and got the Shang Clan Sovereigns to remove the seals on them. At the same time, he had them remove the seal on Lady Shura as well.
“Young Master Xiang, are you sure they won’t harm you anymore?” asked the ninth-stage Sovereign.
Xiang Shaoyun nodded. “Don’t worry, sir. I won’t joke around with my life.”
The old man hesitated slightly before doing as told, removing the seals on Winter Frost and Summer Flame.
Lady Shura finally regained her strength, and she was once again exuding the same grace she usually had. She was no longer wearing a mask, revealing her beauty with a wild aesthetic that was incredibly conspicuous when matched with her perfect figure.
Standing by her side, Shang Yafang looked just like a little girl that had yet to mature. However, she knew her superiority—she was innocent and adorable.
Is that the woman Big Brother Shaoyun likes? She’s not as pretty as me, I think, thought Shang Yafang, jealousy welling in her heart.
“Alright. So are we going to start hunting some sin dragons next?” asked Shang Jifeng.
“Of course. Since we are out on a mission, we have to complete it. However, sin dragons are no easy opponents. Are you confident?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
“Haha, I have no problem dealing with sin dragons that are not too high-leveled. As for those high-level sin dragons, I won’t dare to mess with them. That can be fatal,” said Shang Jifeng. “I am quite familiar with the sin dragon territory. Come, let me lead the way.”
After saying that, he started leading the group to where the sin dragons were. The others from the Shang Clan followed along as well. Their current mission was to ensure Shang Yafang’s safety.
Shang Yafang was still at the Skysoar Realm. Thus, it was impossible for her to help with the mission. The only reason she had tagged along this time was to gain more experience and spend more time with Xiang Shaoyun.
As for Winter Frost and Summer Flame, they were left behind so they could focus on healing themselves. The Shang Clan people could not understand why Xiang Shaoyun did that. He had them under his control, but he was now freeing them? However, since that had nothing to do with them, it wouldn’t be proper for them to say anything.
The sin dragons were a type of demonic beast with a tiny trace of the dragon bloodline. They enjoyed living in extremely vile environments, such as an area with poison miasma, or an area with a rotting pond, or a desolate land, and so on.
Along the way, they encountered many other demonic beasts, and they moved out of the way accordingly and avoided conflict with these beasts. They would only fight back when the demonic beasts went after them and forced their hands. After three days of searching, Shang Jifeng finally identified a marsh with sin dragons. It was a place where Shang Jifeng had once trained himself. Thus, he was rather familiar with it.
“See this? This is the footprint of a sin dragon. From it, we can see that there is definitely a sin dragon here. We can also see that this sin dragon is quite strong, so we have to be careful,” explained Shang Jifeng as he pointed at a footprint on the ground.
“This is quite a big marsh. How should we lure it out?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.
“Easy. Sin dragons are vicious beasts. So long as someone intrudes upon their territory, they will attack. Of course, they are extremely crafty as well. Before an actual clash, they will lie in wait and only attack when the prey assumes that they won’t appear anymore,” Shang Jifeng explained. “The easiest method is to force it out.”
He then lifted a random boulder and threw it toward the marsh.
Bang!
An oppressive sound rang out as mud splashed everywhere.
“Roar!”
Abruptly, a fearsome roar sounded as a massive black figure charged out from underneath the marsh. A black sin dragon appeared before them. It had a slender head and neck, looking more like a lizard than a dragon, and its body was massive, with glistering scales. A pair of bat-like wings could be seen on its back, while its pair of massive legs shook without stop. All in all, it was a dreadful-looking beast.
“Impudent! You dare disturb my peace? You shall all become my food!” roared the sin dragon before spewing a mouthful of mud from his mouth.
The mud contained the aura of the sin dragon, and it was also extremely corrosive. A regular person would not be able to survive after touching it. This particular sin dragon was a fifth-stage Demon Emperor, possessing an extremely formidable offensive power. The Shang Clan experts all withdrew with Shang Yafang under their escort.
As for Shang Jifeng, he exclaimed, “This fellow is much stronger than us. We can’t face him head on.”
He was a wind cultivator. Thus, he directly moved like the wind and flashed away from the sin dragon. Lady Shura also retreated at the sight of the sin dragon. That left only Xiang Shaoyun, who advanced instead of retreating. He moved at an astonishing speed, avoided the incoming attack, and went straight for the sin dragon’s weak point.
