"Duan Muming... the Duan Muming who destroyed the Wind Cloud Sect with his own strength?"
The name of Duan Muming sent a chill through everyone’s hearts, for this person was rather infamous, more precisely, notorious!
Wind Cloud Sect, a sect with a Divine Body Martial Saint in residence, was annihilated overnight a hundred years ago. Even the mountains that served as their stronghold became desolate and silent, and it was Duan Muming who had done the deed!
Duan Muming cultivated the secret scriptures of the Ancient Demon Sect, and the Divine Skills he obtained were insidious and profound. Even those of higher realms did not wish to battle against Duan Muming!
Duan Muming was also notoriously vengeful; to become his enemy was to risk destruction. Despite his heinous deeds comparable to the infamous figures on the Evil Saint List, with the Ancient Demon Sect behind him, no one wished to provoke him.
Such a dangerous individual appearing in the Crescent Sea, and to make it worse, he was here for the True Beast!
"I’ll give you ten breaths to consider, leave immediately, or... die!"
The unemotional words of Duan Muming in his green robe made the word ’die’ strike a chilling note.
The Righteous Law Sect had a profound foundation, but it was undeniably inferior to the Ancient Demon Sect. And Duan Muming himself was notoriously cruel. Even if he truly killed them, their own sect would probably not dare to demand an explanation from the Ancient Demon Sect, and so their deaths would be in vain!
"What to do? We’ve already captured the True Beast, do we really have to hand it over so easily?"
All four were communicating through transmitted voices, some unwilling to surrender the True Beast they had captured so easily. No one could bear it!
"Forget it... As precious as the True Beast is, it’s not worth our lives! This Duan Muming is not someone we can afford to provoke!"
One of the more rational disciples tried to soothe the others, knowing that the four of them together would not be a match for Duan Muming.
"Damn it! Duan Muming is so domineering, one day he will pay the price for this!"
Someone cursed Duan Muming’s tyrannical behavior in their heart.
But they also understood that with Duan Muming’s formidable strength and the giant Ancient Demon Sect behind him, even those stronger than him would not seek enmity lightly.
"We... Let’s go."
The four of them sighed in defeat together, reluctantly glancing at the weakened Purple Lightning Jellyfish below that had lost the strength to struggle, and chose to leave.
But at that moment, to everyone’s surprise, they turned their heads to see a figure approaching rapidly from afar.
This was a black-clad young man with a sword at his waist and a tall stature!
Naturally, that person was Su Changkong.
Just now, the commotion caused by the four Entering Saint Warriors of the Righteous Law Sect attacking the Purple Lightning Jellyfish had also been sensed by Su Changkong, who guessed that someone had discovered a True Beast and rapidly made his way over.
"A True Beast... a real, living True Beast!"
Su Changkong felt excitement in his heart; this was the first time he’d seen a living True Beast, and Alien Beasts couldn’t hold a candle to it!
"Another one?"
The cold-faced man in white frowned slightly, feeling a touch of impatience, knowing that this black-clad youth was most likely here for the True Beast as well.
"Mister... You should give up on the idea of getting the True Beast. That man in the green robe is the Ancient Demon Sect’s Duan Muming. You’d better leave quickly!"
One of the Entering Saint Warriors from the Righteous Law Sect kindly warned him, informing him of Duan Muming’s identity.
"Ancient Demon Sect Peak Master..."
A flash of intrigue passed through Su Changkong’s eyes.
Su Changkong had a considerable understanding of the Ancient Demon Sect. Before he had arrived in the Ancient Holy Country, there had been disciples of the Ancient Demon Sect committing evil deeds in places like the Great Flame Empire, including one elite disciple, Wang Zhongqiu.
Before Su Changkong killed Wang Zhongqiu, he’d activated a mark on his body, and his teacher, Peak Master Qin Zhan of the Ancient Demon Sect, had appeared, but that was just a projected avatar, not the real person.
And this green-robed Duan Muming was a true Peak Master of the Ancient Demon Sect!
"Yes, I know." Su Changkong nodded, having already heard the conversation between the two parties from a thousand miles away through his Primordial Spirit and knowing Duan Muming’s identity.
"Duan Muming, the True Beast is fair game for those who find it. There’s no need for a fight to the death; let’s split it," offered Su Changkong, staring at Duan Muming.
Even if this Duan Muming was a Peak Master of the Ancient Demon Sect and had forged a Divine Body, Su Changkong wasn’t about to let him take away the True Beast he had finally discovered.
"Hm?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone present was somewhat astonished. Was this black-clothed man a fool? Knowing who Duan Muming was, yet daring to ask him to share the True Beast? It was tantamount to suicide!
