Chapter 510: Is It Him?!
Wu Ying Ge, a figure referred to as a Master of the Demon Way by Ling Meng, has now surfaced in Lin Nuo’s words.
To be honest, for Mu Yiting, Wu Ying Ge has always been a mystery; there’s no such person in the Refining Demon Sect, and if there were, a Master of the Demon Way would surely be well-known.
But no, she had never heard about him before.
“Speaking of which, Wu Ying Ge is Ling Meng’s master, a Master of the Demon Way. You should have crossed swords with him before. What did you think?”
“Very strong, I couldn’t defeat him.”
“No way? That strong?” Mu Yiting’s surprise was evident as she heard this.
“Yes, he can be considered the strongest Demon Cultivator. Calling him merely a Master of the Demon Way is an understatement; he could easily be called the Supreme Demon Lord. He’s extraordinary, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, making everyone in the world fear him. He is not only powerful, but he also has a handsome appearance and a soul like a rare gem. And…”
“If even you give him such high praise, then he must be something exceptional.”
Lin Nuo, as a skilled master, rarely gives high praise to anyone. Now, hearing an expert praise him without even needing to fight puts his strength beyond doubt.
“Yes, he’s strong, the dragon among men.”
Lin Nuo continued seriously; he indeed rarely gives high praise, but this Wu Ying Ge is different.
Because it’s him.
One must boast about oneself, right?
It’s not really boasting; it’s all facts, okay?
The strongest Demon Cultivator, no doubts there. A reborn individual, mastering the future situation, can’t argue with that. Good-looking and interesting soul, no problems there.
“So we shouldn’t provoke them for now; it’ll bring trouble.”
“But I’ve already attacked the Refining Demon Sect and fought with Ling Meng; I’ve already brought trouble upon us…”
“Don’t worry, Young Master. We had some connections in the past. His weapon was forged by me, and even though we are now on opposite sides, he’ll still give me some face. Moreover, to him, you are just some minor skirmishes, and with Helong Hall’s large influence, he won’t do anything to you for now. Just be cautious in the future.”
This is what they call “I have connections,” and “I have face.”
Mu Yiting still looked worried.
“I see. But if Ling Meng comes after us later, we can’t just passively endure, right?”
“Later is later; it won’t happen in the short term. We need to improve our strength now so we can compete with them in the future.”
“But you said he is a celestial being, the Supreme Demon Lord. Do we really have a chance against him?” Mu Yiting fretted.
“Yes, definitely. I’m very confident; Young Master can rest assured.”
Lin Nuo continued earnestly, just talking nonsense; it’s fine to spout tall tales, after all, lying isn’t illegal.
“That’s good.”
She had immense trust in Lin Nuo; whatever he said was truth. His confidence meant there was hope for Helong Hall.
Moreover, her rising power was all thanks to him, so whatever he said was valid.
As an excellent undercover agent, one must master the art of bluffing and switch between hundreds of identities to maintain control over the overall situation.
Right now, he was excelling, testing the waters at the edge of danger, oh no, maneuvering among various forces.
After resting for a while, Mu Yiting went with Lin Nuo to regroup with the Helong Hall’s younger brothers.
The Magic Array within Tian Lin had also disappeared, and without any fluctuations in the spiritual energy field, things began to normalize.
As for the cultivators, Taoists, and warriors in the Tianyuan Domain, Lin Nuo hadn’t engaged them. He let the Helong Hall members settle down first, then spread rumors within Tianyuan that the divine artifact in Tian Lin had been stolen and most resources were cleared, instantly dampening the interest of any follow-up arrivals.
Moreover, many buildings in Tianyuan had been severely damaged, and everyone lost interest in staying.
Gradually, the outsiders left, leaving only a few Xuanyun Sect cultivators who insisted on continuing their investigation and observation. However, they couldn’t uncover anything, and Qin Shili suggested wrapping it up and not wasting more time, urging them to leave.
Elder Yuan and the others thought things had passed and decided it was best to let the disciples return instead of lingering.
They soon left, and the Refining Demon Sect also departed. The major forces had fled, leaving the small ones to scramble for resources.
At this moment, Lin Nuo led Helong Hall into the scene, taking over this dilapidated place. However, even with the takeover, it didn’t amount to much; the town was heavily damaged, and many resources had been previously looted; Helong Hall was left with just a rundown area, a mess they would have to rebuild.
He didn’t care; after all, they had occupied it, so it was time to report back on their task.
This shabby place had drained so much of his energy; enough was enough!
Time to head back and indulge in some Meat Floss Cake and a drink of cold water!
……
In the sea, Dragon Palace.
“Report!”
A dragon soldier hurried over, walking across the red carpet of the Dragon Palace, kneeling down.
“Your Majesty, Dragon King, we’ve received intelligence from the mainland.”
“Mm? What’s the matter? Speak quickly.” The Dragon King stroked his dragon beard and asked sternly.
“恒 has entered the mainland this time and has killed a large number of humans.”
“Mm? This is good news; it seems humans are not so invincible after all.”
“Your Majesty, however, although they made smooth progress at first, they ran into trouble and had to retreat. According to the returning information, they encountered a very troublesome individual.”
The messenger dragon continued:
“He’s just a human boy whose state of mind is ridiculously strong. Even when faced with mental torment, while most humans would feel downcast when dealing with harsh insults, he instead appeared delighted and invigorated.”
“Among so many humans, it’s normal to occasionally find one with a strong state of mind; we’ll approach this slowly.” The Dragon King was unimpressed.
“Your Majesty, his state of mind is not only strong, but he can also infiltrate the dreams of others and deliver a counter-attack on 恒, dominating them in their dreams. He reportedly can wield both celestial and demonic powers. His strength can be considered top-tier, quite astonishing.”
Upon hearing the term celestial and demonic, the Dragon King quickly flipped through the knowledge regarding humans; the texts stated that while celestial and demonic powers could coexist, one would flourish while the other declined, and no one in history had ever masterfully wielded both at a top-tier level.
Could it be that the records about these humans are incorrect, or are they deliberately fabricating false records to set a trap for him?
In that case, the previous information would be rendered useless.
“Our scouting spirit birds should have produced some results. What’s the status of those spirit birds?” The Dragon King continued.
The subordinate replied:
“Most are fine, but three were shot down, and they were taken down by the very boy I mentioned.”
“Are our spirit birds so vulnerable? Did he shoot them down from the sky?”
“No, he stood on the ground and used an unknown technique to take down the spirit birds.”
“What??? Took them down? Logically, that’s a long distance; how could he do that? Was there any image of his appearance captured?”
“There was! Your Majesty, please look.”
Saying this, the subordinate presented the captured image of that boy to the Dragon King.
The second prince, Hao Yi, took a glance and was shocked.
Isn’t this the kid who had beaten him up earlier?!
