Chapter 750: Evil Dragon Aokun

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Husband! These people couldn’t help themselves so why find trouble with them?”

It was like the voice of a fairy, causing the dozens of Spirit Realm Experts around to relax.

Huayun also calmed down slightly and turned around to see a beautiful woman, around 20 years of age. She was casually walking in with light footsteps.

She was dressed in white, extremely elegant, green silk flying all over. Her dress was floating in the air, like a fairy descending on the mortal world. Her eyes were really clear, her cherry lips had a faint smile like a really pure and innocent girl.

Huayun had a gentle look in his eyes, but then he laughed bitterly, “I really mourn for the unfortunate and am angry at the cowards! I really want to kill all of them with a sword. To behave like that, wife must be laughing at me.”

Longxuan smiled as she shook her head. Like a little bird resting on a man’s shoulder she stood right beside him.

The latter’s emotions also seemed to have calmed down. After sweeping the people in front of him, he scoffed coldly and took big steps toward the Ten Thousand Soul Lamp Room.

When he arrived here, he didn’t care about anything and directly took the main seat. The rest of the people followed in with defeated faces.

Only Qingming sat beside the two of them. The rest of the people stood solemnly. In front of Huayun they were all terrified.

Huayun couldn’t be bothered beating around the bush as he said directly, “I came back to the Vast Habitat just for one thing, Zong Shou! He is arrogant and the Taoist Ancestor wants to wipe him out! At most, within two years, he would go through his tribulation. We must prepare and kill him at all costs!”

The people in the hall exchanged glances with one another, their eyes filled with weird expressions.

Qingming said in a straightforward manner, “With Great Senior Master here, we would definitely be able to kill Zong Shou. However, we are all not his opponent. At that time, we might need you to help us!”

The dozens of Spirit Realm Experts all heaved a sigh of relief. Their looks toward Qingming were filled with gratitude.

Huayun’s face turned green from rage.

He wasn’t annoyed with Qingming for saying the truth. He also didn’t think she wouldn’t.

What he was annoyed with was how these people feared Zong Shou so badly. They were all spineless.

“A bunch of trash!”

He scoffed coldly, forcing himself to not explode, “I have discussed with Daoling and Tailing Sects. They will help us then! In a few days, we will have many elite disciples from 800 years ago rushing back. If we lose too much, I won’t sit still and do nothing at the crucial moment! Anyway, that demon will have to be killed! If we fail because of your neglect, you will be heavily punished! Did you guys hear what I said?”

When he said this, the people within the hall had joyous expression on their faces. Huayun was more annoyed and felt more and more disappointed.

“Since you all heard me, then scram!”

The last three words seemed to be screamed out. The expressions of those Spirit Realm Cultivators changed once more.

They all bowed and left, swiftly leaving.

Only three people remained within the Ten Thousand Soul Lamp Room. However, moments later two green-robed Taoists moved through the air and entered.

One of them was Zhongguang. His face was gold and purple. The expression of the other Taoist was really solemn.

The few of them slightly nodded as a greeting. Only Longxuan smiled and bowed, “Little Sister Longxuan greets Senior Brothers Zhongguang and Xuanwei!”

Qingming was their Junior and thus she bowed once more.

Zhongguang waved his hand, adjusting his body to the side as he smiled awkwardly, “Why does younger sister need to be so polite?”

After sitting still, he had a helpless gaze, “Junior Brother and Sister saw the situation. Our backbone has been broken. The truly able ones are dead and we are left with a bunch of selfish people thinking for themselves. There are very few who are willing to fight for the Taoist Faction!”

He looked toward Qingming with praise, “You did well!”

Huayun frowned and then looked toward the east, “Which is why our first mission is to slay that kid and reestablish our prestige.”

“That won’t be easy!”

The other Taoist spoke, he shook his head, “Common People’s Path Mingyu seemed to have made his mind to protect the kid! Aokun’s combat strength is also surprising. He grasped the Destruction Path and is far stronger than the two of us. Senior Brother Zhongguang was heavily injured, affecting his foundations. Even in 20 days, he wouldn’t be able to heal up...”

Speaking about Aokun, Huayun and Longxuan’s face turned cold. Aokun instantly returned to normal and scoffed coldly, “Just a dog that lost his home! Don’t worry Senior Brother Xuanwei, it is okay if he doesn’t attack. If he does, I don’t mind sealing him for another 10,000 years! I am still eager to return that insult and humiliation from 10,000 years ago!”

Longxuan recalled, “I remembered when Master sealed him, it was done to keep him whole! He was prepared to wait for him to calm down and repent. A few thousand years later, he would be able to join our Taoist Faction and work for the God Emperor. Who knew he would still be so stubborn? If he dares to be enemies with us, I will take his life myself! 10,000 years ago, I personally helped Master seal him. 10,000 years later, I won’t show mercy. He is extremely violent and I won’t let him continue to cause problems!”

Huayun smiled and held Longxuan’s hand. The two Taoists opposite felt happy.

Xuanwei nodded slightly, “However, we still need to be careful! It seemed like Aokun still reserved some strength that day.”

He continued, “Apart from Aokun, there is still Dragon Shadow. That kid is his only student. His disciple is facing tribulation, so he wouldn’t sit still and do nothing. He would definitely return to the Cloud World!”

“That person is even simpler! His Sword Technique was the top in the past. He grasped Nine True Dragon Paths. In the same grade, he never had an opponent. 8,000 years ago, he could receive three strikes from Master to save Aokun’s life. What a waste, he is turning old and is about to die! He can’t last for 30 years....”

He paused and then he waved his sleeves. A grey-white sword flew out from his sleeves and pinned into the ground.

Zhongguang Xuanwei’s eyes both constricted, their eyes filled with shock.

“The Path of Time!”

“That’s right!” Huayun nodded his head, “This is the Withering Sword! Each sword will slash at one’s lifespan!”

Zhongguang was first delighted, but he seemed to have thought about something as his face turned dark.

Did...

“Master personally crafted it! It was prepared for Wu Xu. Master had huge hopes for him! He said that Wu Xu walked the talk. Although his talents were average, he had the most hope of reaching Saint Realm. Unfortunately....”

A cold glow appeared in Huayun’s eyes, “Since Wu Xu can’t use it, then why not use it to cause hurt to Dragon Shadow? Although it is just at the Celestial Grade, as long as I use it well, that old man will die instantly! Examining closely this whole thing started because of him. Master also hates this person deeply now!”

When he said those words a smile appeared on Zhongguang and Xuanwei’s faces.

Zhongguang’s worries were gone and he relaxed. Even his injuries seemed to have become much better.

“We have nothing to worry about with this sword here. We have the four of us, along with Daoling and Tailing Sect and Yuanshi Demon Sect’s three God Realms. We need not worry about this battle!”

“We can’t rely on outsiders!”

Huayun shook his head, “Only by killing that kid together with Aokun and Dragon Shadow can we threaten the sects to rebuild our honor! We can borrow the strength of the Shangqing and Taiqing Factions, but we need to be careful. As for the Yuanshi Demon Sect, it is like working with a tiger...”

Just as he said this, he was interrupted by a voice. It was Qingming who had been listening in. After she saw the sword, she thought about something. At this moment, she thought about something and exclaimed.

“Three years! Senior Brother Wu Xu’s last words are that Zong Shou only has three years left!”

The people in the hall were stunned. Zhongguang frowned and was just about to chide her. Then, he entered deep thought.

“Three years? That is possible!”

“Speaking of which, there is something I felt weird about. This kid has been alive for only 21 years. How did he grasp Absolute Beginning? To have such a strong Sword Technique?”

Xuanwei rubbed his mustache and said in a deep tone, “Wu Xu is good at the Time Law! He did have the ability to avoid Dragon Shadow and sense Zong Shou’s lifespan. If that is the case, then it makes sense. With lifespan as the price to grasp such a grand path...” action

Longxuan listened on, his eyes flashing. Then, his lips curled as he laughed.

“So this Master and student are both about to die? Interesting!”

※※※※

Just as the five of them were discussing in Daoling Vast Habitat, Zong Shou who was at Gantian Mountain felt a chill down his spine.

“Who is plotting against me?”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up. His body’s reaction was obviously him sensing something and his connection to the Heavens.

This was his ability that appeared after the Heaven Barrier broke and with his Dao Heart being clear, he was now extremely close to Spirit Realm.

Unfortunately, he was unable to chase the source to deduce where it came from.

However, at this time, even if he used his legs, he knew who it was.

Huayun and Longxuan most probably already returned to the Cloud World.

This time he was in a cultivation room flipping the records of a Cloud Desolate Era cultivator.

“So Longxuan was called Aobi! Aokun’s dual cultivation Dao Companion...”

Aokun naturally hid and kept his things a secret.

Unfortunately, Common People’s Vast Habitat kept millions of scrolls. What happened then had shocked the Cloud World.

Just randomly searching and he found several books that recorded what happened then.

“The Horned Dragon bloodline was surrounded and killed by Cultivators because they manipulated and controlled water. When they were in danger, Aokun saved them and became partners with them. However, Juelong City and Taoist Faction chased him. He fought in the Cloud World and killed tens of thousands of Cultivators. Ah! This fellow is actually like me, people who hate him are all over the world. No wonder people called him the Evil Dragon...”
