But people kept pouring into Shuzhou, and they were all strong individuals. Sothing definitely seed amiss.
"Yue, didn’t your Valley Master explain these things?"
Yue shook his head, had he been inford about this, he wouldn’t be as clueless as Wang Sheng.
"Then, it can only an that this matter has sothing to do with the Great Grandmaster, or even... destiny!"
In this world, the most miraculous and the most mysterious was destiny.
If the Valley Master of Stargazing Valley did not inform Yue, it had to be related to the Great Grandmaster or destiny.
The lack of information about the situation in Shuzhou ant it was related to the Great Grandmaster or destiny.
"But how could a Grandmaster like the Snake Demon know about Shuzhou’s anomalies?"
"Perhaps he knew about the actions of several Great Grandmaster factions and felt there was an advantage to be had in Shuzhou, so he ca. There are quite a few such people." Yue offered his own explanation, "The actions of Spirit Sword Valley and Heavenly Saber City are no special secret among certain circles; neither power had any intention of hiding their movents."
"Opportunists?"
Wang Sheng neither agreed nor disagreed.
But he felt that this person known as the Snake Demon wasn’t entirely such a person.
This man seed to have a strong sense of purpose as if he knew from the start that Shuzhou had an abundance of Spiritual dicine and ca specifically for that.
Just as Yue had ntioned, so people learned of the movents of Spirit Sword Valley and Heavenly Saber City, leading many opportunists to Shuzhou. Cheng Jiang ca from another place and after defeating Cheng Jiang, Wang Sheng had also learned about him; he only took interest in the Three Counties after arriving.
It seed Cheng Jiang was unaware of the abundance of Spiritual dicine in Shuzhou, as he had not arranged for his people to venture into the mountains; what he practiced was exploitation, forcibly attempting to extract Spiritual dicine from the people.
This individual known as the Snake Demon, on the other hand, was actively deploying his Demon Shadow Blood Snake to seek out Spiritual dicine.
"Is it just my imagination?"
Wang Sheng himself wasn’t quite certain.
"Where is this person?"
"Three hundred li to the east!"
Yue answered honestly.
"Three hundred li, that close?"
This distance was indeed beyond Wang Sheng’s expectations; to be only three hundred li away, he thought. Not to ntion his own travel speed, even Da Bai could arrive within two hours, including the need to detour due to difficult mountain trails. On flat ground, it would take just over half an hour.
However, upon reflection, it made sense—If the Snake Demon’s Demon Shadow Blood Snake had reached this far, it couldn’t be much farther.
"I’ll take you there, Lord Wang Sheng!"
"Alright, let’s set off now."
Wang Sheng couldn’t always be on guard against soone with hostile intentions; now that he knew the location, it was better to nip the crisis in the bud.
"Da Bai, you can still move, right?"
Lately, Da Bai and Yun Xiao had been less active, digesting the benefits of the lotus seeds in preparation for their next evolution.
"Roar!"
It was not yet ti for evolution, so there were no issues with movent.
Yun Xiao followed suit, wanting to join in the action.
Together, the two of them and two beasts set off towards the direction of the Snake Demon.
anwhile, the Snake Demon was still waiting for his little snakes to return.
"It should be soon; they will find that person before long!"
The Snake Demon was becoming impatient; during the ti his little snakes were out searching, he had thought up countless ways to torture his target.
Assuming it was a Grandmaster, they would likely be able to endure his tornt. And once the torture was over, he couldn’t allow the remains to go to waste. The leftover flesh could be used to nourish his precious, potentially creating an even mightier Demon Shadow Blood Snake.
"Flaying, dismbernt, three thousand cuts for slow slicing—how much can he withstand?"
A morbid flush appeared on the Snake Demon’s face, seemingly quite excited.
After a little more than an hour, the Snake Demon suddenly felt sothing entering his cave. He opened his eyes to see a streak of blood red.
"Back at last!"
The Snake Demon knew his little snakes had returned.
The little blood snake’s speed was very fast, even sowhat urgent.
However, the Snake Demon failed to notice this minor detail.
"Did you find him? Quick, lead to the person!"
But the little blood snake did not obey him and tried to crawl further into the depths of the cave.
The Snake Demon finally noticed sothing was wrong and burst forth with his unique aura.
This was a technique he often used to subjugate all his pets; doing so would keep any snake in line without exception.
But this ti, he seed to have miscalculated.
The blood-colored little snake paid him no heed and continued to rush into the cave interior, his technique seemingly ineffective.
The Snake Demon suddenly rembered a warning from the book that taught him how to breed these snakes.
If such a technique failed, it ant the snake had encountered sothing far more terrifying than its master.
Do not hesitate, run for your life!
"Could it be the Great Grandmaster has arrived?"
The Snake Demon didn’t quite believe it. After all, how many Great Grandmasters could there be in the great Zhou domain to bother coming after him?
Grandmasters also existed in Miao State, and despite all he had done, they hadn’t co to capture him!
Impossible, it simply could not be.
Still, just to be safe, it’d be best to run—there’s only one life to live, after all.
As for all the thoughts of revenge, they had been cast far out of his mind.
But at that mont, the Snake Demon realized he was unable to run; he couldn’t move at all, and neither could anything else in the cave, including the blood-colored little snake that had tried to escape.
At the sa ti, two figures approached from outside the cave.
One of them, walking in the lead, spoke upon seeing him, "Snake Demon? No need for confirmation. With so many snakes around, it’s likely you!"
