NOVPUBThe Heavenly Corpse Old Man whispered.
Su Changkong and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man did not hesitate and descended towards the area below.
"Gentlemen, I’m Nie Wu."
The elder, who looked like a farmer, saw Su Changkong and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man and nodded with a smile.
"Nie Wu? He is the Right Chancellor of the Silver Moon Empire."
Upon hearing this name, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s heart grew tense, and he transmitted a message to Su Changkong.
Within the Silver Moon Empire, aside from the esteemed Sovereign, there were the Left and Right Chancellors. This unremarkable elder was the Right Chancellor Nie Wu, a significant figure within the Silver Moon Empire second only to the Sovereign!
The other two individuals, the scholarly gentleman and the robust youth, must be disciples of the Yan Family. Judging from their appearance, they seemed young, but in reality, their strength was unfathomable!
"Dao Wufeng." Su Changkong simply stated his name.
"A new Guest Elder of the Xia Yan family..." Nie Wu nodded slightly upon hearing the name; he had heard of it before. This figure had risen like a comet and was now a Guest Elder of the Xia Yan family.
"I’m Wang Tiangong."
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man also politely reported his name.
"The Elder Wang Tiangong from the Heavenly Corpse Sect?"
The expression of the scholarly gentleman realigned almost imperceptibly at the mention of the name, evidently familiar with it as that of an Elder from the Heavenly Corpse Sect, one of the Evil Sects of the Demon Gate.
The fact that Su Changkong and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man were together also caused the scholarly gentleman’s demeanor to become slightly colder.
Nie Wu remained composed, his aged face smiling as he said, "Since you two have arrived, you must be in possession of a Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman. Please wait a moment; once we gather all the Jade Talismans, we can open the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky."
Neither Su Changkong nor the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had any objections to Nie Wu’s words, so they both found rocks nearby to sit down and collected their thoughts in silence.
Su Changkong noticed that besides the Yan Family party, the earliest to arrive were not them, but two burly men quietly sitting cross-legged under a large tree.
The two burly men were strong and rugged, exuding a wildness, with their bare chests marked with wolf head totems.
"They are members of the royal family of the Ferocious Wolf King Court. Only members of the royal family are entitled to tattoo the wolf totem," the Heavenly Corpse Old Man conveyed to Su Changkong.
"People from the Ferocious Wolf King Court..."
Su Changkong nodded slightly. The Ferocious Wolf Clan, having a great enmity with the Great Flame Empire and being one of the three lower countries, was known for its warriors’ bravery and skill in battle. The royal family of the Ferocious Wolf Clan stood high above the rest, a totemistic and almost religious presence within the clan.
Su Changkong had once participated in the Sunset Blood Battle, a tug-of-war between the Dafeng Iron Cavalry and the Ferocious Wolf Clan.
It appeared that someone from the Ferocious Wolf King Court had also received a Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman and rushed here upon learning the news, aiming to share in the treasures of the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky.
Indeed, none who managed to acquire a Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman were simple characters!
The two royal warriors of the Ferocious Wolf King Court just glanced at Su Changkong and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man with their wild eyes, then redirected their gaze, waiting in silence.
Soon, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s nostrils flared slightly, and a hint of solemnity and killing intent appeared on his face.
"A familiar presence approaches..."
Su Changkong also showed a nuanced change in expression.
In the distant sky, two figures were flying rapidly towards them.
One was a beautiful and enchanting red-clad woman, who, despite her smile, instilled a chilling feeling in others, forbidding any disrespect.
Although the red-clad enchanting woman’s aura was not overly exposed, she radiated extreme danger!
Accompanying the red-clad enchanting woman was a muscular, stalwart man in Battle Armor, exuding a bold and domineering aura.
"Mo Junling..."
Su Changkong recognized the man; it was the Rakshasa Sect Master and Vice leader of the Sacred Heart Alliance, Mo Junling, who had previously pursued the Heavenly Corpse Old Man and briefly fought with Su Changkong. Mo Junling’s strength was formidable, a descendent of a Martial Saint, he pursued the Heavenly Corpse Old Man in an attempt to seize his Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman.
However, Qin Miesheng had been secretly observing, and a trace of his aura caused Mo Junling to retreat.
The Sacred Heart Alliance was in possession of a Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman, and they tried to take the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s talisman just to secure more spots and allow more members to enter the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky, thus increasing their chances of finding treasure.
"Rakshasa Sect Master Mo Junling and the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl from the Mysterious Yin Sect?"
Upon recognizing the newcomers, Nie Wu’s expression subtly shifted.
He identified the two, knowing that Mo Junling was a formidable force, hard to face for anyone below a Martial Saint, while the red-clad enchanting woman was also a major figure on the Demon Path, the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl of the Mysterious Yin Sect, beautiful in appearance but with a cruel and cunning nature brimming with inscrutable power and malicious intent!
"Hmph... As expected, they came."
Mo Junling immediately saw Su Changkong and the extraordinarily youthful Heavenly Corpse Old Man, snorting inwardly.
Mo Junling had been frightened away by Qin Miesheng’s aura in the past, failing to capture the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s Heavenly Dragon Jade Talisman. Now, it seemed that the Heavenly Corpse Old Man and Dao Wufeng were planning to explore the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky together.
"Rakshasa Sect Master and Mysterious Yin Fairy, good to see you!" The Heavenly Corpse Old Man greeted them with a smile on his face.
Mo Junling was expressionless, aware that there was a deadly feud between him and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man. After the latter had fled, Mo Junling kept his promise and uprooted the Heavenly Corpse Sect, with only a few disciples managing to escape.
To an enemy, one must be utterly ruthless!
But now was not the time to act.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s eyes brimmed with coldness; Mo Junling had almost eradicated his sect, the Heavenly Corpse Sect. Although the Heavenly Corpse Old Man no longer had deep feelings for the now-stranger-filled sect, Mo Junling had destroyed his sanctuary and pursued him relentlessly, filling the old man with hatred and a desire for retribution.
