Dao-Treasuring Peak, Path-Seeking Courtyard.
The four remained silent, and stillness settled over the courtyard.
Only after a long while did Xuanming speak. "May I ask you two True Lords whether Great True Lord Chaomu left any contingency behind that could reveal that Demon Dragon's location?"
True Lord Chaoguang and True Lord Xianyue were surprised that Xuanming knew of their grandmaster, but on second thought, it was hardly unexpected. After all, the Evil Flood Dragon that had undergone the water passage had fallen at his hands. It was only natural that he would have asked for information before slaying it.
The two exchanged a glance. After True Lord Xianyue nodded, True Lord Chaoguang took a peculiar three-inch ruler from his Wish-Fulfilling Pouch and introduced it.
"This is the Dragon-Seeking Ruler, jointly refined by the founding masters of the Rising Sun Sect and Water Moon Abbey from scales and bones shed by the Azure Dragon.
"It can locate any member of the demon race touched by the Azure Dragon's legacy. That Demon Dragon clearly attained the Dao through the Azure Dragon's gifts. However, it most likely carries a mystic treasure, so I cannot guarantee how useful the Dragon-Seeking Ruler will be."
Xuanming glanced at the Dragon-Seeking Ruler in surprise. He had merely asked on the off chance, never expecting that they truly had a contingency. Hai Fengming said, "As things stand, we have no other option. We can only give it a try."
Xuanming agreed. "Quite right. For the Demon King, staying still is better than making a move. He would love nothing more than for us to sit back and do nothing. But for us, the proper course is to fight swiftly and decisively and kill him as soon as possible, lest a long night breed too many dreams."
