Chapter 43: Black tal Sutra Fragnt
Inside the hall, the hunchbacked man and Tu looked at the branch master.
“Brother.” Tu couldn’t help but ask, “Is this really a fragnt of the Black tal Sutra?”
The white-browed man nodded. “In the history of the human race, portions of the Black tal Sutra had gone missing. It was confird to have shattered into eight fragnts. The demons have also recorded the appearances of the eight fragnts. Back when I flipped through their records, I deliberately recorded it when I saw it.”
“When I cultivate on the mountain, I can enter the library once a month,” said Tu with a smile. “But I usually read cultivation manuals. I don’t even bother to spend ti on those useless books. Brother, you’re the best. You actually keep it in mind to morize such stuff. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to recognize the fragnt of the Black tal Sutra.”
“These intelligence reports are confidential to humans, but the demons do not pay much attention to them. Even if they obtain the Black tal Sutra... the demons are unable to cultivate it. They are only used for reference,” the white-browed man said. “I’ve identified the fragnt that the Blood Cloud Bandits wanted to sell to us is the Lightning Devastator Saber legacy. The complete Black tal Sutra’s Lightning Devastator Saber legacy is split into twenty-six pieces.”
“According to the reward set by the demons, a complete Black tal Sutra can be exchanged for a million credits,” said the white-browed man.
“A million credits.” The hunchbacked man and Tu’s eyes lit up.
“It’s impossible to gather all the fragnts since so of them have long been collected by Archean Mountain, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, and Two World Island. So have fallen into the hands of the demons, while so have been scattered all over the world. How can they be gathered? As we are unable to gather all of them, a fragnt will give us ten thousand credits,” said the white-browed man. “Ten thousand credits... For just ten thousand credits, the demon monarchs will not be willing to risk their lives to enter human cities. But for us, it’s worth the risk.”
“Let’s risk it.” Tu’s eyes turned red.
“I’ve been in the Skydemon Sect for thirty years. I’ve only accumulated 1200 credits.” The hunchbacked man gritted his teeth. “Let’s take the risk.”
“Sa old rules. After we succeed, I’ll get sixty percent. The two of you will each get twenty percent,” said the white-browed man. “Any objections?”
“No.”
“It’s your call,” replied Tu, and the hunchbacked man imdiately.
In Skydemon Sect, the strong were supre. Even if they joined forces, they were no match for the branch master. They were satisfied getting twenty percent each while the branch master took sixty percent.
“If you didn’t tell us, we wouldn’t be certain that it’s the Black tal Sutra fragnt,” said the hunchbacked man imdiately.
“In all my years at the Skydemon Sect, I have only accumulated 5000 credits. If I were to receive 6000 credits this ti... I would have a chance of entering the Demon Transformation Pool and becoming a Skydemon,” said the white-browed man.
“Brother, you have already condensed a demon core for over a decade. You will definitely beco a Skydemon once you enter the Demon Transformation Pool,” said Tu.
Skydemon was the cultivation path the demons created for human traitors. It was equivalent to demon monarchs and human Godfiends.
“Since we have decided to take the risk,” the white-browed man swept the area with his gaze, then said calmly, “you have to understand that this operation is extrely dangerous.”
“Yes.” The hunchbacked man and Tu were extrely solemn.
“Eastcalm Prefecture is a human city. There’s a Godfiend from Jadesun Palace presiding over it! The five Godfiend clans should have two or three Godfiends present. If any Godfiend discovers us, we’ll definitely die,” the white-browed man said. “In fact, if we are held back by human experts, we’ll still die once the human experts swarm us.”
“Understood.” The two vice branch masters nodded.
The Skydemon Sect... could only hide in the shadows.
After all, it was only a sect ford by human traitors. Although the demons had created a unique Skydemon cultivation system for these traitors, the Skydemon Sect’s overall strength was far inferior to humans. Their only advantage was that they were humans. Furthermore, the Skydemon system was adept at concealing their auras, allowing them to hide in human cities. However, once they were exposed, humans could easily kill them.
The hunchbacked man said, “Branch Master, your strength is nearly invincible under Godfiends. As long as we act fast enough, we can quickly escape. It would be too late by the ti those Godfiends arrive.”
“Don’t be careless,” said the white-browed man. “Among the mortals in Eastcalm Prefecture, there are three who can restrain . The Yun family’s Yun Fucheng, the Zhang family’s Zhang Yong, as well as the Bai family’s Bai Shuwan. The three of them are all experts at the Core Condensation realm. Although they aren’t my match, they can still hold back for a while. Therefore, I have to avoid the three of them as much as possible.”
“Alright.” The duo nodded.
The branch master was practically invincible under the Godfiend realm in Eastcalm Prefecture.
As for the two vice branch masters, they were weaker. Although they had already comprehended Force and knew many demonic spells, they had yet to reach the Core Condensation realm. In Eastcalm Prefecture, there were more than ten people who could match them.
“According to what the two of you’ve said,” the white-browed man said, “those two Blood Cloud Bandits died at the hands of the ng family’s ng Chuan. Then, the fragnt of the Black tal Sutra might be in his hands.”
“This is such an important treasure. Blood Hand Zhao Can would definitely carry it with him out of worry,” said Tu. “I’ve also secretly investigated this matter. When the two Blood Cloud Bandit corpses were handled, many people were present. They didn’t find the Black tal Sutra fragnt. There’s a high chance that it’s in the hands of ng Chuan.”
The white-browed man nodded. “The Black tal Sutra is mysterious and unfathomable. Ordinary Godfiends would find it difficult to pry into its secrets. Only so powerful Godfiends and demon monarchs are able to pry into the profundity of the legacy. ng Chuan is only seventeen-years-old, so he won’t be able to discover any secrets from it. At most, he will treat it as a Godfiend fragnt. He likely wouldn’t carry it with him daily.”
“Yes.” The hunchbacked man and Tu’s eyes lit up.
“Brother, you an...” said the hunchbacked man imdiately.
“The Black tal Sutra might very well be sowhere in the Mirror Lake ng Manor,” the white-browed man said. “It’s very likely to be hidden in ng Chuan’s residence.”
“Activate our Skydemon Sect assets in Eastcalm Prefecture. Think of a way to infiltrate the Mirror Lake ng Manor,” said the white-browed man. “Search through ng Chuan’s residence. If the black tal piece can be stolen, even better.”
“Yes.” The duo nodded.
If it wasn’t necessary, they wouldn’t want to fight the ng family.
There were a group of Seamless realm experts in the ng family. Three of them had comprehended Force! Furthermore, Liu Yebai was an expert who had achieved Force as well. Most importantly, there was also the terrifying Godfiend, Fairy ng. If Fairy ng discovered them, none of them could escape.
Therefore, they had no choice but to use their wits.
...
The Skydemon Sect mbers that were lurking in human cities were best at gathering intelligence.
They used demonic spells to control an old servant and a maidservant who frequently cleaned ng Chuan’s yard. When ng Chuan practiced his Saber Drawing Stance in the training grounds, the old servant and maidservant would search the residence while they did their daily cleaning chores. They even found the banknotes hidden by ng Chuan, but since demonic spells controlled them, they obediently left the banknotes in their original spots to prevent the enemy from being alerted.
However, they couldn’t find the black tal piece.
It was because ng Chuan had long discovered the black tal piece’s wonders. It was even more precious than the remnant Godfiend legacy page given to him by the Third Elder.
Therefore, he hid both the black tal piece and the Godfiend legacy remnant in his father’s secret underground chamber. It was the safest place, and there were many traps. If anyone dared to infiltrate the secret chamber, the entire Mirror Lake ng Manor would be notified.
Since it was hidden so well, only ng Chuan and ng Dajiang knew how to activate the chamber’s chanism.
The Skydemon Sect tried all ans to find the black tal piece, but it was to no avail.
...
“What do we do? We haven’t been able to find it.” The three leaders of the Skydemon Sect of the Eastcalm branch sat down in a rather oppressive atmosphere.
“We have to obtain that ten thousand credits.” The white-browed man’s eyes were cold as he said, “Since we can’t find it covertly, there’s only one thod—capture ng Chuan alive! We shall interrogate him first and learn where it’s hidden. That way, we might be able to obtain the black tal piece easily. If he has given it to the family clan and is hidden by the ng family, we can use ng Chuan to force the ng family into exchanging. The ng family has definitely placed great importance on ng Chuan since he grasped the secret technique at fifteen-years-old. They will be willing to exchange the black tal piece for his life.”
