506: 414 Shirk Responsibility_1 506: 414 Shirk Responsibility_1 Six months had flown by.
In the bustling streets of the Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace, a surge of people flowed, and the clamor of carriages and horses filled the air.
The large-scale beast tide did not last too long.
It did not reach the Inner Sea; this ti, the monster beasts had breached all four major marketplaces of the Outer Sea.
The Star Moon Marketplace was the luckiest, with a Soul Transformation Cultivator stationed there.
The Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace had been overrun by monster beasts.
Cultivators suffered heavy casualties, and a vast number of buildings were destroyed by the monster beasts and were now being reconstructed.
A multitude of cultivators had been teleported from the Inner Sea to support the Outer Sea.
In the Jinyao Garden, Han Yilong and Xin Hai were discussing sothing.
“Still no word from Taoist Friend Shen?”
Han Yilong asked, frowning.
In the eyes of the Han Family, Shen Long was considered one of their own, and the Han Family did not wish for misfortune to befall him.
“Not yet, I’ve already dispatched more people to search for Taoist Friend Shen and the Thunder Flood Dragon.
As soon as there’s any news, the people below will report imdiately,” Xin Hai replied.
Xin Hao’s physical body was destroyed by the monster beasts, and if not for Shen Long’s assistance, his Nascent Soul might not have survived.
The Xin Family was truly grateful to Shen Long and was also eager to find him.
“I hope Taoist Friend Shen is alright,” said Han Yilong.
Dealing with a flood dragon was challenging enough; a late-stage fourth-order Thunder Flood Dragon could withstand a spiritual treasure’s attack, and combined with a middle-stage fourth-order Wind Flood Dragon, he didn’t believe Shen Long could manage two fourth-order flood dragons.
Xin Hai nodded and said, “Taoist Friend Shen has a mutant fourth-order Spirit Insect; escaping shouldn’t be a problem.”
Han Yilong took out a blue ssaging Plate that shimred with spiritual light, input a spell, and a respectful male voice sounded: “Ancestor Yilong, Senior Shen has returned.”
“Please have him co to the Jinyao Garden,” Han Yilong instructed.
“Yes, Ancestor Yilong,” the man replied.
Han Yilong put away the ssaging Plate, his face showing delight.
“I knew Taoist Friend Shen would be fine.
To escape from the clutches of two fourth-order flood dragons, he’s quite impressive,” said Xin Hai with a smile.
In less than half an hour, Shen Long walked in.
His face was pale, and his aura was weak, a sign of significant energy loss.
Shen Long had consud a Jade Void Pill, a fourth-order elixir that he had exchanged with a fourth-order Alchemist in the Western Desert.
The Jade Void Pill made the consur’s life force appear weak; in simple terms, it could make the consur feign serious injury to deceive others.
Shen Long did not want to draw too much attention.
Furthermore, since the Northern Sea had fifth-order monster beasts, if the fifth-order monster beasts learned that Shen Long had slain the Thunder Flood Dragon, who knew if they would trouble him.
“Taoist Friend Shen, you’re unhard,” said Han Yilong with concern.
“If I hadn’t encountered two fellow Taoists, my life and cultivation would’ve been lost,” Shen Long weakly replied.
Han Yilong and Xin Hai did not doubt his explanation.
“It’s good that you’re fine, Taoist Friend Shen.
What about those two fourth-order flood dragons?” Han Yilong inquired.
“They got away.
Each had mastery over Thunder Escape and Wind Escape, and since I was severely injured, I didn’t pursue.
The two fellow Taoists chased after them, but I don’t know if they caught up,” said Shen Long.
“Who were those two fellow Taoists?” Xin Hai asked curiously.
“I don’t know them.
Both had late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, one male, one female,” replied Shen Long.
He could not admit to having killed the two fourth-order flood dragons, so he fabricated the existence of two Nascent Soul Cultivators to shoulder the bla.
“It’s good that you’re safe, Taoist Friend Shen.
We were worried about you,” Han Yilong said with a smile.
“Oh, has the Divinity Transformation ceremony concluded?” Shen Long changed the subject.
“It ended long ago.
Why are you only returning now?” Han Yilong asked casually.
“I was badly injured, and with the beast tide, I dared not wander.
I found a deserted island to heal.
Only after my wounds improved sowhat did I return,” Shen Long explained.
“That’s good that you’re back.
You don’t know how worried Taoist Friend Lin and Ancestor Yuwei were.
They personally ca to the Outer Sea to search for you,” Han Yilong said.
“My master and mistress ca to the Outer Sea to look for ?
Where are they now?” Shen Long asked.
“They haven’t co back yet, you should heal first, I’ll send soone to notify them.”
Han Yilong said.
“Yes!
Taoist Friend Han, you rest and heal.
Thanks to your assistance, otherwise Ancestor Hao would have perished.”
Xin Hai echoed.
“How is Taoist Friend Xin doing?”
Shen Long asked.
“He has seized a new body and is currently repairing it, regaining cultivation is only a matter of ti.”
Xin Hai said.
“Right, what about that mutated fourth-tier Monster Beast?”
Shen Long inquired about the fourth-tier Monster Beast that had weakened the strength of the formation.
The Fire Qilin Beast possesses the Realm-Breaking Divine Light, capable of breaking through defensive screens, and helpless against formations.
That mutated Monster Beast is even more abnormal, able to weaken the power of formations.
“Nowhere to be found.
Many Cultivators are searching for it, hoping to use its vertical eye for Artifact Refining, and so even wish to subdue the beast.”
Xin Hai explained.
“If we can subdue this beast, it would definitely be a big help in breaking formations.”
Han Yilong expressed his agreent.
After a casual chat for half an hour, Shen Long made his excuses to leave.
He had just left Jinyao Garden when he happened to see Ice Silkworm True Person and Han Yuwei coming his way.
They looked anxious, but upon seeing Shen Long, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
“Disciple pays respect to Master and Mistress.”
Shen Long bowed.
Ice Silkworm True Person and Han Yuwei had personally co to the Outer Sea to find him; it was clear they cared deeply for Shen Long.
“Dispense with the formalities, are you alright?”
Ice Silkworm True Person asked.
“Disciple was hunted by the Thunder Flood Dragon and the Wind Flood Dragon and suffered serious injuries.
Fortunately, I encountered two fellow Cultivators who helped escape.
I don’t know how they are now.”
Shen Long tossed out the excuse he had prepared in advance.
“Looking at you, the injuries seem serious.
There might be another outbreak of Monster Beasts in the Outer Sea.
You should imdiately teleport back to the Inner Sea and return to the headquarters for recovery!”
Ice Silkworm True Person spoke with concern.
No one could guarantee that there wouldn’t be another outbreak of Monster Beasts in the Outer Sea.
“Disciple will handle so minor affairs and then imdiately return to headquarters to heal.”
Shen Long said.
He needed to spread the news of his severe injury and anwhile have soone watch out for that mutated fourth-tier Monster Beast.
“Handle your affairs as quickly as possible!
We will go back with you.”
Ice Silkworm True Person said.
After so small talk, Shen Long returned to the Golden Cicada Pavilion.
He took out a ssaging Plate that flashed with blue light and inserted a spell.
For a long while, there was no response from the plate.
Shen Long changed the spell, and Song He’s voice erged: “Senior Shen, you’re back.”
“Are you all okay?”
Shen Long asked.
“Three junior brothers have all t with tragedy; only I and second sister remain, and second sister is seriously wounded.”
Song He’s voice was filled with sorrow.
“Co to the Golden Cicada Pavilion, I have sothing to tell you.”
Shen Long instructed.
“Yes, this junior will be there imdiately.”
Song He agreed.
Less than half an hour later, Song He arrived.
Shen Long inquired about Liu Xin’s condition, took out a blood-colored porcelain bottle, and handed it to Song He, saying, “Feed this pill to Junior Liu, one every half a month.
She will surely recover.”
“Thank you, Senior Shen.”
Song He thanked him and accepted the bottle.
“Keep an eye out for that mutated Monster Beast for .
If there’s any news, co find at the Spirt Control Sect in the Donghua Cultivation Realm.
I’m going back to heal.
Oh, and help watch for news of those two Nascent Soul Cultivators; they saved from the clutches of two fourth-tier Flood Dragons.”
Shen Long said slowly.
Song He promised thoroughly, staunchly obeying Shen Long’s orders.
After giving a few instructions, Shen Long let him leave.
Over the next three days, Shen Long t with several Nascent Soul Cultivators, asking for their help in looking for the two Nascent Soul Cultivators and the mutated fourth-tier Monster Beast.
Shen Long had concocted the story of two late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators just to exonerate himself.
The fifth-tier Monster Beast would hold those two accountable instead.
Three days later, Shen Long, Ice Silkworm True Person, and Han Yuwei left the Outer Sea and teleported back to the Inner Sea.
