After doing all that.
Only then did the Crimson Blood Demon Emperor dissipate his murderous aura, and in an instant, his figure transformed into a burly man clad in heavy armor.
Stepping into the void, I reached the clouds in a few strides.
He cupped his hands in greeting to the figure in white, a sheepish smile plastered on his face.
"Please excuse my ignorance, Eleventh Master. I'm just a country bumpkin who doesn't know any manners."
"Um... Eleventh Master, shall we set off now?"
The Demon Emperor Qianyu glanced at him indifferently, not even bothering to utter a single word.
With a wave of his sleeve.
His figure instantly transformed into a streak of Streak of Light, enveloped in billowing Black Mist, and fled towards the eastern horizon.
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor was not annoyed. He straightened up and his gaze fell on the man in black robes.
The two walked side by side, with him following closely behind.
The wind howled.
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Although Red Silk did send back news of the birth of True Dragon... how vast is the Eastern Territory? To find a True Dragon that is deliberately hiding is like finding a needle in a haystack."
At this point, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"Could it be that Third Master has already received definite information?"
Upon hearing this...
The man in black chuckled, " Third Master is a man of brilliant strategy; naturally, he has a way."
"But..."
The man in black robes changed the subject, slowly extending his right hand from his sleeve.
"We were lucky; we happened to be on the road and captured a little creature that knew some information, which is why we decided to go and check out the human dynasty in the east."
As he opened his palm.
He was clutching a chicken demon, no bigger than the palm of his hand and with disheveled feathers, tightly in his grasp.
The chicken demon was clearly terrified, trembling all over.
They felt the fierce gaze directed at them by the Crimson Blood Demon Emperor.
The chicken demon froze, kicked its legs, and almost fainted on the spot.
"Demon... Demon Emperor, spare me... I'm just a lowly demon from the Lotus-Planting Realm, I only recently returned home to visit my family..."
"... They really are Lotus-Planting."
After sensing the other party's cultivation level, the Crimson Blood Demon Emperor sneered, "What earth-shattering secrets could a mere Lotus-Planting Realm beast possibly know?"
Such a momentous event as the birth of True Dragon was something even the Demon Emperor who Tower-Ascending Realm could only glean a few clues about.
What would low-level monsters know?
Upon hearing this, the man in black robes remained indifferent. "What do you think the birth of True Dragon should look like?"
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Then naturally it would be ten thousand auspicious clouds and a thousand streams of lucky energy... or a hidden dragon lying dormant in the abyss, patiently waiting for the right moment to soar into the sky..."
The man in black robes shook his head. " The True Dragon is the favor of heaven and earth, the king of all demons."
"If one is a ruler, why must one be patient? Why must one lie low?"
At this point, the man in black robes turned his head, his eyes gleaming with Netherglow beneath his hood. "Therefore, if you wish to find the True Dragon, simply look in the Eastern Territory and see where monstrous talents have emerged..."
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor seemed to understand but not quite, scratching his head. "If that's the case... then why don't we search in the rivers, lakes, and seas? Why go to the lands inhabited by humans?"
"If we investigate them one by one, we'll surely find some extraordinary talents among the Flood Dragon clan, right?"
Upon hearing this...
The man in black robes said calmly, "You mean the Dragon-Ascension Platform?"
"Exactly."
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor said solemnly, "Legend has it that the Flood Dragon Clan opens the Dragon-Ascension Platform every five thousand years, where ten thousand Flood Dragons fight each other, and the victor can obtain a Skyline Gorge secret, be reborn, and transform into a dragon... Isn't this true?"
The man in black shook his head, his tone full of pity. "Just listen to it and forget about it. You actually believe it?"
"I ask you, in all these years, have you ever seen or heard of any Flood Dragon that truly ascended the Dragon-Ascension Platform and transformed into True Dragon?"
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he couldn't think of a single example even after racking his brains.
Although countless Flood Dragon do indeed fight each other for this every five thousand years, resulting in rivers of blood, the final outcome is...
It seems that apart from the death of batches of Old Flood Dragon, no one has actually transformed into a dragon.
Seeing that he remained silent, the man in black lowered his voice and slowly said, "Besides... even Third Master couldn't Dragon Transformation back then, so what Flood Dragon in this world do you think is worthy of Dragon Transformation?"
Third Master
He was the Demon Emperor of the Third Grotto of Spirit Mountain.
Its true form is the Flood Dragon race.
In terms of cultivation, talent, and foundation, there are probably few Flood Dragon in the entire Eastern Territory that can compare with him.
Even Third Master couldn't take that step...
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor felt his throat go dry and managed to say with difficulty, "So... the legend of Dragon Transformation is false?"
Whether it's fake or not is not important.
The man in black robes said meaningfully, "The important thing is that True Dragon cannot be transformed after birth. The talent it possesses from birth must be extremely terrifying, and its cultivation speed must defy common sense."
"Often, someone who was just an ant a few days ago can turn the tide in the blink of an eye."
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor took a deep breath, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.
If that's the case...
That area has indeed shrunk considerably.
If such a prodigious person truly existed, they would surely be famous far and wide by now, and would not be able to hide their abilities.
"It seems... you've already found out who it is?"
"The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor asked in a deep voice."
The man in black robes nodded, then shook his head.
"It's just a guess."
"And it's quite funny, this person actually had a rather complicated history with my Spirit Mountain."
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor frowned. "Who else?"
"The lineage of the Golden-Winged Peng."
"Um?"
The man in black robes didn't keep them in suspense. He gently stroked the trembling chicken demon with his fingers and said slowly, " The Golden Feather Demon Emperor and his wife are both Jade-Carving of the Jade Carving School. It's just that this old bird is far away in his Grotto-Heaven and probably doesn't know that his wife and son have already died at the hands of others."
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor was even more perplexed.
Since that old bird isn't here, why is there no movement from Spirit Mountain?
According to the rules of Spirit Mountain, if Demon Emperor's retinue is killed, even if the demon emperor is temporarily unable to take revenge, another Demon Emperor should step in to avenge it.
Seemingly sensing his confusion, the Demon Emperor Qianyu, who had remained silent until now, suddenly said coldly, "Because he offended Third Master."
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor's body suddenly stiffened.
The man in black robes picked up the conversation, saying calmly, "That's right, that old bird publicly contradicted Third Master earlier. Although Third Master didn't retaliate on the spot, he remembered this debt."
"So... when the news reached Spirit Mountain, Third Master said that since that old bird was so capable, let him take his own revenge. Anyone who dared to interfere would be disrespecting Third Master."
The Crimson Blood Demon Emperor took a deep breath, suppressing the tremor in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Anyone who dares to kill someone from my Spirit Mountain... this person is probably not simple. Could it be... that this person is our target for this trip?"
"Exactly."
"Who is this person?" the Crimson Blood Demon Emperor pressed.
"The Eldest Princess of the Tang Dynasty."
The man in black robes uttered three words: " Li Guyue."
I'll start at five in the morning.
I will make up for the five chapters I missed today tomorrow.
I'm out of time to write more. There were supposed to be two more chapters, but the plot unfolds in a continuous sequence, so I'll release them all at once tomorrow.
