Conflict at the Foot of the Mountain

Uncle Zhou withdrew his gaze and advised, "Young Master, I think it's best to leave as soon as possible. I've heard that there's a Two-Headed Flood Dragon clan within the Iron Eater Beast's territory. The Two-Headed Python we just killed might have a trace of their bloodline. Moreover, most Human Race living in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are not benevolent. We don't know their background, and going there rashly could easily cause trouble."

The young master laughed and said, "Uncle Zhou, you're being too... careful. In this world, all demons, in terms of bloodline, are related to the Demon Race to some extent, but even the Demon Race itself doesn't consider itself their own kind. That Two-Headed Python didn't even use Yao Qi, so how could it be related to any Demon Race? As for the Human Race on that mountain, even if they aren't benevolent, what's there to fear? Do they dare to provoke our North Dragon Sword Sect?"

The monsters in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are divided into two types: Demon Beast and Demon Race.

Most Demon Beast beings are of low intelligence; although they possess formidable strength, they are unable to fully utilize it.

The Demon Race is different; they have bloodline inheritance, and their Spirituality is even no less than that of the Human Race.

Human Race mostly hunt Demon Beast, and even if these Demon Beast are refined into Inner Core, they are only Spirituality in nature. Even the Demon Race does not consider these Demon Beast to be of the same race.

However, if you accidentally hunt down a demon, things will be different. You'll have to pray for the consequences. For example, when the son of the city guard of Zhenbei City killed a member of the Golden-backed Mantis clan, the entire city was surrounded and hunted by several powerful demons from the Divine Platform.

The young man's name was Chang Ze. He was so confident because he was the grandson of the Sword Lord of the North Dragon Sword Sect. His grandfather was a Void Heaven Realm expert, just like Grandmaster in the Floating World. In this era when Celestial Person beings rarely appeared, Void Heaven Realm experts were top-tier. Even if he killed ordinary Demon Race, he would not be afraid at all and would only have to accept his bad luck.

Uncle Zhou was somewhat helpless; the young man was full of vigor and fearless, and he couldn't be persuaded at all.

The subordinates quickly finished dealing with the Demon Beast.

The young man laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look at that mountain first."

The group used their movement techniques to quickly move forward, and a moment later they arrived at the foot of North Spring Mountain.

North Spring Mountain was shrouded in Cloudmist, making it difficult to see clearly from the mountain.

Everyone present was of considerable cultivation, at least at the Core Formation Realm (Dao Fire Realm), and came from prominent sects. They also possessed extraordinary insight, immediately recognizing the unusual nature of this mountain.

Chang Ze gestured to one of his subordinates.

A man stepped forward and loudly proclaimed, "A disciple of the North Dragon Sword Sect is passing through this place and has come to pay respects. We humbly request that Daoist Friend on the mountain show themselves to us."

After finishing his meal, Gu Yuanqing walked along the mountain path, frolicking with the Mountain animals and relaxing his mind.

He noticed the people coming from the foot of the mountain, but he didn't intend to deal with them. These people were highly skilled and had come into the mountain to hunt demons. They weren't in danger like Xing Fei, so there was no need to meet them.

Upon hearing the invitation to visit, Gu Yuanqing replied calmly, "I am currently in Mountain Sealing to cultivate, please forgive me, fellow Daoist Friend of the North Dragon Sword Sect."

The sound reached the ears of everyone below the mountain clearly.

"As expected, you are Human Race." Chang Ze chuckled.

Uncle Zhou said, "Young master, since they have closed their Mountain Sealing to cultivate, it's inconvenient to disturb them. Let's leave then."

Chang Ze said calmly, "Uncle Zhou, we are not representing individuals, but the North Dragon Sword Sect. It is understandable that he is cultivating in seclusion, but this lack of manners is too rude. It is clear that he does not respect the North Dragon Sword Sect."

According to Human Race etiquette, when someone announces their name to pay respects at a mountain, even if it is inconvenient for them to enter the mountain, they will send someone to deliver tea and a small gift as a sign of apology.

Uncle Zhou advised, "Young master, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are not like the major sects of the human realm. We don't need to worry about so much."

Chang Ze frowned, then finally said, "Fine, let's go."

Uncle Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was Divine Platform Cultivator, this was not the Human Domain after all, and he did not want to cause any more trouble.

Chang Ze took one last look at North Spring Mountain, then led the group in a chosen direction and headed away.

But before they had gone far, they suddenly saw a Dark Clouds rapidly approaching in the distance. Uncle Zhou focused his gaze, and his expression immediately changed. "It's the Twin Flood Dragons!"

Having just killed the Two-Headed Python, they then encountered the Two-Headed Flood Dragon; naturally, no one present assumed it was merely passing by.

Chang Ze's expression also changed, and he shouted, "Let's go!"

Demonic Flame erupted from the group, and they used their movement techniques to flee as quickly as possible.

But the Dark Clouds came too fast, reaching overhead in an instant, bringing boundless pressure. Its cultivation level was at least at the Divine Platform Realm.

Uncle Zhou Bo shouted, "You all return to your sect on your own. I'll take the young master first."

As he spoke, he swept Chang Ze up, and a streak of Sword Light transformed into a rainbow as they disappeared.

But in the Void, a Lightning struck, the Sword Light fell, and from the Cloud Layer, a dragon appeared, with two keratinous tumors on its two heads, one flashing with Lightning and the other swirling with a blue Hurricane.

"Human Race, who gave you the audacity to come to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and kill my bloodline's descendants!"

As the words were spoken, Heavenly Thunder Dark Clouds, and the subordinates at the Dao Fire Realm screamed and fell to the ground, their vital Vital Energy dissipating, and they all died in the blink of an eye.

A sword beam shot upwards, and Uncle Zhou roared, "This is the direct grandson of the leader of the North Dragon Sword Sect! You monster, if you don't want your clan to be wiped out, then retreat!"

But these words had no effect whatsoever. The two dragon heads opened their mouths, and two bursts of Demon Power, condensed to the extreme, spewed out from their mouths.

It was a cluster of condensed Lightning, its electric rays blinding.

A wisp of cyan Wind Blade sliced through everything.

Boom!

Zhou Bo's sword light shattered and fell again. From within the dark clouds, torrential rain poured down, like sharp arrows piercing through trees and the ground, where it rose in black smoke.

Another Sword Light rose from the ground; it was Chang Ze using the trump card given to him by his ancestor.

However, this Two-Headed Flood Dragon was composed of two spherical spheres of Yao Qi that condensed and crashed down.

The entire area within a hundred miles trembled several times. The next second, the Two-Headed Flood Dragon swooped down from the clouds, and a Yao Qi swept up the two people whose Life and Death were unknown, swallowing them one by one.

Standing atop the mountain, Gu Yuanqing looked into the distance and judged that this Demon Beast was probably also at the Void Heaven Realm, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to kill Divine Platform Cultivator in the blink of an eye.

He didn't move. Firstly, the battleground was too far away; secondly, he had a preconceived notion and didn't have a very good impression of the North Dragon Sword Sect. Xing Fei and Lu Jianqiu's Yan Mountain Sect had to travel to Lanting City because of the North Dragon Sword Sect, which showed its domineering nature.

The Two-Headed Flood Dragon, having slain its enemy, let out two long roars, like the Dragon Roar.

Its two vertical eyes scanned the surroundings, exuding an aura of power.

The old clan chief, far away in Bamboo Mountain, heard the noise, glanced at it from afar, and ignored it. As long as the Heavenly Human Realm Cultivator did not enter the territory and the one who killed his Iron Eater Beast clan was not his concern.

Battles between Demon Race and Human Race are not uncommon; the fact that it even glanced at them was considered an indication of its concern.

From the headquarters of the North Dragon Sword Sect Residence in Qizhou Prefecture, a furious roar rang out, "Who dares to kill my grandson?"

A Sword Light shot through the air, and he swiftly headed towards the direction where his grandson had fallen.
