Devour

"You guessed half right. The Disaster Legion has two commanders, which outsiders don't know. Cen Ge is the Yang commander, responsible for commanding the Five Elements Flags. The five major flag masters lead their own death squads. The Yin commander is me, responsible for providing weapons and resources and assassinations."

Perhaps it was the effect of the secret art of communication, Zhuo Zhibang did not hide anything, as if he was talking about someone else's business. The magic weapons used by the leaders of the Disaster Legion, such as the crescent moon knife of the black jade flag master, came from the hunter gun king shop.

Cheng Bai was expecting this, but he didn't expect the other party to be so frank and speak out his doubts: "There are very few masters who can kill Li Quan. I thought it was Cen Ge, but he is slightly weaker. Later I thought it was Sect Master Fang because he was nearby that day, but I am sure it was not him in Sanxian Valley."

Zhuo Zhibang said bluntly, "Fang Wanzhan only stayed at Zuiyunjian for half a day. It was me who used the Water Mirror Secret Technique on the top floor to break the Iceberg Sword Domain, shattered Li Quan's inner elixir, and notified Ceng Ge to take control of the Hunter Guild as soon as possible. The leader of the Huangyu Banner was present, so I just pushed the blame onto the Sword Sect."

The truth of this strange case has been solved, but there are still many questions that remain unclear.

Cheng Bai asked in confusion: "Senior Zhuo is a senior and respected master, why did he do this?"

Zhuo Zhibang revealed everything: "The original intention of the Disaster Legion was to fight against the coming of disasters and seize resources and power to achieve their goals, so it is inevitable that they will use extreme means. Li Quan is a representative of the conservatives. He abides by the rules and protects the interests of the guilds and clans. He has long been irreconcilable with the Disaster Legion, and it is not worth telling outsiders. Those who are willing to be lambs will eventually be eaten by tigers and wolves. I must eliminate this obstacle. In addition, I have practiced with the Faceless Man for many years to verify what I have learned. My wish to defeat the previous Hunter King has been fulfilled, and I have no more pursuits."

"Those who are willing to be lambs will eventually be devoured by tigers and wolves..." Cheng Bai's heart was beating wildly, and he suddenly realized, "Senior Zhuo is so frank, has the Disaster Legion achieved its goal?"

Zhuo Zhibang washed down the demon eagle meat with fine wine, and said with a look of enjoyment: "It's almost done. The seven great altars of conferring gods are being conquered one after another. The rest depends on the ancient god himself. If you don't have real ability, all plans are useless."

Cheng Bai recalled the tragic scene of the black poisonous ants eating up all the people on the streets of Tianshu City, and said in astonishment: "But if the ancient god reappears, it will surely cause a bloody storm on the continent. I don't know how many people will die."

Zhuo Zhibang ate the last piece of demon eagle meat on the plate and sighed, "They are all doomed to die. If the ancient god reappears, there may be a glimmer of hope. This is the biggest disagreement between Li Quan and me, as well as the other masters of the holy temple. I am not a qualified master, and it would be better for me to retire, but I am a qualified warrior and commander."

Lu Miaoting widened her eyes, repeatedly digesting the words just said, at a loss.

Zhuo Zhibang took out a bunch of strange keys from his bosom, placed them on the dining table, and instructed: "Miao Ting is my last disciple. Her grandfather Lu Duanyi is a capable general in the army. The Hunter Gun King Shop is my last asset in the southern continent, and I will give it to her. If you can get the source of divine fire to ignite the power reactor here, you may be able to save some people and escape."

Cheng Bai asked: "Where is the source of the divine fire?"

Zhuo Zhibang burped, wiped his mouth, stood up and said: "In addition to the divine fire source that has been returned to the Qiongqi Sect and the Medicine Sect, the better ones in the Qiongqi Continent are in the two ancient gods. For this reason, the ancient gods must reappear in the world to have more chances of survival."

He turned and walked away, saying in his last words: "The one who knows the most about the Yingmen Star Region is Si Bao, the dean of the Hunter Academy. If you have any questions, you can ask him. You can set off tomorrow. When you come back here in the future, if I am not here, I will be dead, so there is no need to worry about me."

These words seemed to solve many previous questions, but also brought more unsolved mysteries. Cheng Bai saw Zhuo Zhibang leave and was unwilling to talk anymore. He picked up the key chain and handed it to Lu Miaoting, and cleared the table.

When the morning light shines on the earth, Cheng Bai takes Lu Miaoting and Xiao Bai to the Sky Island to continue participating in the Martial Arts Hunting Conference. Although the Ghost Feather is already in hand, the wealth and resources scattered throughout the island are equally attractive.

The Demon Eagle was especially powerful, as it was full of treasures. The four major demon bird tribes were very famous in the Qiongqi Continent, and it usually took a team of more than five elite hunters to hunt a Sky Demon Eagle, and it was even more difficult to deal with more advanced species.

So far, only a few teams have advanced to the vicinity of Shen Zi Peak, and the one that is recognized to have the best performance is the five-man team led by the Fierce Boxing King He Lipang.

Everyone divided up the Sky Demon Eagle they had just hunted, took out the crystal core with smiles on their faces, and did not forget to compliment each other.

One teammate said: "The team is far ahead all the way. In terms of high cultivation and close cooperation, no one in the guild can compare with us."

Another person said, "Brother He is the most powerful among us, and he will definitely win the championship in this battle."

He Lipang's cultivation had improved since the martial arts competition. He looked towards the direction of Shenzi Peak, which was covered by yellow sand. He looked carefully and said in surprise, "There seems to be a figure in the valley."

The other hunters were incredulous. One said, "The Sky Island Magic Eagle is well-known throughout the continent. It is very powerful and difficult for ordinary teams to match. We are making rapid progress. Other teams may still be wandering around the periphery."

Before he finished speaking, a man rushed out from the yellow sand area of ​​Shen Zi Peak, as fast as an arrow. It was the master of the Yellow Jade Flag holding the Wind Chasing Spear.

"Qi Jifen?"

The news from Tianshu City had not yet reached here, and He Lipan only recognized the appearance of the Holy Son of Medicine Sect.

"King Lingzhan is really amazing. He went deep into Shenzi Peak alone. It is said that there are thunderstorm devil eagles there. They are very difficult to deal with. Challengers have a chance of death."

He Lipang marveled inwardly and had no time to listen to the hunters' discussion. He had sharp eyes and noticed that the leader of the Yellow Jade Banner was in a particularly miserable state, as if he was fleeing madly in panic.

A hunter quickly raised his hand and fired a positioning flare into the air.

He Lipang asked suspiciously, "Do you really want to take that reward?"

The hunter smiled and said, "Tianshu Holy Temple urgently offers a bounty for the whereabouts of the Spirit Slash King. Mark the location once you find any trace of him. The reward for this small mission is generous. Don't miss it."

The leader of the Huangyu Banner was indeed fleeing. He thought he was invincible against the monsters of the Sky Island, but when he arrived at the Shenzi Peak, he began to doubt his life.

"What is that nine-headed monster? Could it be that the legendary demon chariot has been resurrected?"

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner did not want to enter the Son of God Peak again, so he quickly ran outside the Sky Island. After a moment, he discovered that a huge monster was approaching rapidly.

"How can this be possible? Who dares to pursue him so relentlessly?" The leader of the Huangyu Banner turned around to look.

The monster running fast, with a lion's head, a tiger's body and dragon's scales, turned out to be the Suanni that occasionally appeared in the Danding Grassland. The knight on its back had long fluttering white hair, shining dragon steel armor, and a spear in his hand that seemed to be flashing red and white flames.

The leader of the Huangyu Banner didn't recognize who the person was for a while.

The other party spoke up, his voice gentle: "Should I call you the Master of the Huangyu Banner, or Lu Duanyi?"

"Shen Ya? How come most of his hair is white? He seems like a different person."

The leader of the Huangyu Banner heard a familiar voice, stopped, and looked carefully. It was indeed Shen Ya. His long gray hair and murderous armor were completely different from his previous nobleman temperament.

"Thanks to you."

Shen Ya roared, jumped off his mount and took the initiative to attack, stabbing straight with the Fantasy Dragon Fire Fang Spear in his hand. The terrifying murderous aura condensed like substance, and the space seemed to be shaking violently.

The Overlord's body image unfolded, and a giant with a dragon head and a human body wearing golden armor turned into a god of war, stepping on a vortex of lightning, shining brightly, and floating on the ground like riding on clouds. In the past, neither he nor his domain could fly, but now the Overlord's vision has become more mature, and he can move much more freely, and it is obvious that his cultivation has greatly improved.

“What can a defeated general do to me?” The leader of the topaz flag sneered and went into battle. The mud giant rose from the underworld, with his feet on the River Styx and a ring of fire on his head. His body was bigger than before, like the lord of hell in the end times, more majestic than before.

The two men fought back and forth fiercely for thousands of rounds. The two gun shadows intertwined, the wind was whistling, sand and rocks were flying, and the mountains were collapsing and the earth was shaking, but there was no winner.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner could not gain the slightest advantage, and the Wind Chasing Spear was actually at a disadvantage. He was shocked in his heart: "His skills have improved so much."

The sight of two huge giants over 40 meters tall was breathtaking. Their attack crushed the rocks and trees into dust, as if they were going to overturn the mountain top. The sonic booms that tore through the air echoed through the mountains and valleys, attracting the attention of many hunters around, including Cheng Bai.

Lu Miaoting heard the noise, turned around and looked, curiously: "Are those two strong men fighting over there? The momentum looks a little familiar."

Cheng Bai had just dug up a nest of three Thunderstorm Demon Eagle eggs on the cliff. Their parents were nowhere to be found. Seeing this, he hurriedly collected them and took Lu Miaoting closer to find the highest point nearby to watch the battle.

Between the peaks, the two masters showed their skills, and gradually revealed their cards in the fight between dragons and tigers. The battle of visions was in full swing.

The mud giant's four big hands frequently used killing moves. One hand held an icy moon blade, one hand grabbed a Senro ghost claw, one hand held a giant rock that shook the earth, and one hand held a blazing fireball. He took turns attacking the opponent. Whenever he touched any object, no matter it was gold, wood, earth, or stone, they were all frozen into ice cubes, then torn into several pieces, smashed into pieces, burned into boiling magma, and then frozen into ice again. This cycle repeated over and over again. Wherever he went, it turned into a tombstone in the underworld, with ghosts crying and gods howling.

The overlord with a dragon head and a human body remained calm. He stepped on the vortex of lightning without touching the ground and moved freely to avoid the impact of mudslides. His obviously improved speed made him very capable in battle. Every lightning fist of hiss could resist ice, fire, claws, and heavy blows. The powerful electromagnetic force field could resist most of the ghost howls and magic sounds, and the repulsive force even secretly hindered the operation of the secret art of rebirth.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner was undefeated in the fierce battle, and the Wind-Chasing Spear burst into a magnificent spear flower, using his ultimate move "A Flash in the Pan". The brilliant light illuminated the valley, and a murderous intent emerged from the unparalleled beauty.

Shen Ya had been defeated once by this move, but he was focused and not swayed by the remaining ghost howls. He used the unique move "Enemy Attack from All Sides" that he had carefully studied based on the "Dominate the World" move. A sense of grief and beauty was added to his invincible momentum, and his power was greater than before. The Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear emitted flames in all directions.

Yushan was facing a desperate situation of insect swarms, and Qi Kai died without hesitation. During that time, Shen Ya realized that dominating the world does not mean being invincible. Breaking through difficulties and obstacles in desperation can stimulate greater potential.

At that moment, the repeated entanglement of the two forces was temporarily forced back by the repulsive force, and the Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear took advantage of the situation to overwhelm the Wind Chasing Spear, becoming the key to determining the outcome.

Lu Miaoting, who was watching the battle, was so shocked that her face turned pale. She whispered, "It's just a flash in the pan. The Taizu's pear blossom spear special move, could it be him?"

The two men decided the winner in the fierce battle. The brief brilliance disappeared, the gun flowers shattered, and a long spear flew out and penetrated deeply into the cliff. The spear shaft trembled constantly. It was the Wind-Chasing Spear.

A large hole was pierced through the abdomen of the leader of the Topaz Banner. He suddenly fell to the ground with a look of astonishment on his face. The huge mud giant vision slowly dissipated, and the underworld disappeared.

Shen Ya's mouth was bleeding. He fought bravely and was able to win the battle. He was injured to some extent. He praised coldly, "Excellent spearmanship, rare in the world. If the Wind Chasing Spear was not less powerful, the fight would have lasted longer."

"You...you shattered my Dantian."

The voice of the leader of the Huangyu Banner gradually weakened, and his appearance changed drastically, revealing his original face. He had been worn down by the years, his skin was rough, his temples were slightly protruding, and he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was still considered heroic.

In the distance, Cheng Bai was running behind Lu Miaoting, standing silently by the side, watching the fallen leader of the Yellow Jade Flag.

Lu Miaoting hesitated to speak.

Cheng Bai advised: "When a person is about to die, his words are good. Forget everything in the past and say goodbye."

Lu Miaoting hesitated and said, "I... I am Lu Miaoting."

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner could hardly believe it. He stared with wide eyes, looking again and again, searching for past memories in the woman in front of him. His spiritual sense tested the blood connection and found a faint echo between them. The invisible bond could not be false. He felt mixed emotions in his heart and laughed miserably in a low voice, "I didn't expect... God still favors me."

Only Cheng Bai could tell that the favor he was referring to was not the present time, but the fact that he did not accidentally kill Lu Miaoting in the Poison Crystal Cave.

"I also know that Master once sent Lu Duanyi's granddaughter Lu Miaoting to the Hunter Academy for foster care. You two can talk. He doesn't have much time left." Shen Ya said softly and walked away.

The leader of the Yellow Jade Banner used his remaining strength to take out the treasure bag from his body, panted a few times and said: "My... Miao Ting, take it... You will know why."

Lu Miaoting walked forward and the leader of the Huangyu Banner suddenly grabbed her hand.

Cheng Bai was shocked, fearing that something unexpected might happen, and wanted to stop it, but he stopped.

In his spiritual eyes, the secret art of rebirth was working in reverse. Layers of dark shadows continuously stripped certain powers from the master of the Yellow Jade Flag and added them to Lu Miaoting, causing the talent of the originally not outstanding woman to slowly change. This was not a bad thing.

"My legacy... my sea of ​​consciousness is intact, and I have only 30% of my power left... I leave it all to you. You can take away my power to rebirth and pass it on, but the Lu family will have an heir." He exhaled his last breath, and finally his power was gone and he died.

Lu Miaoting stared blankly at the death of her only relative, feeling a little lost. They had just met and now were separated by life and death. Perhaps it was because they were too unfamiliar. She felt neither sad nor complained.

Shen Ya went to the cliff and pulled out the Wind Chasing Spear, handed it to Cheng Bai, and suggested: "Brother Cheng is a disciple of Sect Master Fang. Please take back the Wind Chasing Spear and return it to the Weapon Sect on my behalf. The matter of the Overlord Spear is over, and please return the remaining materials and deposit to me."

Tianshu City is currently in a state of disrepair and financial constraints. It would be better to return the money used to re-refine the Overlord Spear and use it to rebuild the city to temporarily alleviate the urgent need.

Cheng Bai accepted the Wind Chasing Spear in the name of a disciple of the Qi Sect and would return it to the Qi Sect.

The two men hurriedly buried the body of the leader of the Yellow Jade Banner and left the Sky Island.
