NOVPUBBut Ji Xuexiao was well aware that Su Changkong had effortlessly killed five warriors from the Ancient Demon Sect, so he must have been confident; otherwise, he would not have made this decision. If it were him... perhaps he really could create a miracle!
And Ji Xuexiao understood the reason Su Changkong asked for her assistance was for added security, and Su Changkong had made it very clear that if things went beyond expectations, she could immediately refine the Divine Seed.
"Okay, if at that time you cannot overcome Wei Shengxin, I will make a move!"
Without much hesitation, Ji Xuexiao agreed.
The last time Su Changkong helped her, she was able to escape from the warriors of the Ancient Demon Sect; to Ji Xuexiao, Su Changkong asking for her assistance was also a sign of trust.
Moreover, Su Changkong would not plan to tackle Wei Shengxin unless he was somewhat sure of himself; Ji Xuexiao was very curious to see where this confidence came from!
"But do you know where Wei Shengxin is?" Ji Xuexiao asked.
Wei Shengxin was most likely in secluded cultivation by now, and finding where he was secluding himself was not going to be easy.
"I have my own plans, let’s go meet another person,"
Su Changkong said.
The bases of the Evil Sects and Demon Gate were very secretive, and even with the information from Duanmu Tao, they had only found the locations of several Evil Sects and Demon Gates.
The person Su Changkong was preparing to find was, of course, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man himself was one of the rare old monsters from the Evil Sects and Demon Gate, skilled in tracking skills, and was most likely able to find the whereabouts of Wei Shengxin!
"Mmm," Ji Xuexiao nodded lightly.
Without delay, accompanied by Ji Xuexiao, Su Changkong went to Corpse-Burying Mountain, where the Heavenly Corpse Old Man secluded himself for cultivation. Only Su Changkong knew that after his Heavenly Corpse Sect was destroyed, he hid here to cultivate.
In the desolate outskirts of Corpse-Burying Mountain, Su Changkong revealed a hint of his aura and waited for a moment.
Whoosh!
Not long after, grey fog howled out from the depths of Corpse-Burying Mountain, containing an old man dressed in grey. It was the Heavenly Corpse Old Man!
"Brother Blade, what brings you, a busy man, to visit this old corpse?"
Upon seeing Su Changkong, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s aged face displayed a hint of a smile.
From his appearance, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had reverted back to his original skinny elder form, but Su Changkong could clearly feel that the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s previously waning body seemed to be rejuvenated and growing vigorously.
"It seems that the Heavenly Corpse Old Man acquired that Heavenly Dragon Battle Puppet last time, and indeed, he has reaped no small benefits in these two to three years," Su Changkong thought to himself.
As an old antiquity who had lived for a very long time, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man would take every opportunity to climb upwards as much as possible!
Su Changkong did not mince words and went straight to the point, "Old zombie, I’m going to tackle Wei Shengxin, and I need your help to find his whereabouts."
This statement undoubtedly moved the Heavenly Corpse Old Man: "You’re going to tackle Wei Shengxin?"
Wei Shengxin himself is the descendant of the Martial Saint, Evil Emperor, who once unified the Demon Path and inherited the Evil Emperor’s Divine Seed and Bloodline Regression, no easy peer!
In the battle at Heavenly Dragon Mountain last time, Wei Shengxin showed terrifying strength; if the Ancestor of the Yan family hadn’t appeared, Ji Xuexiao alone would have had a hard time defeating him.
Now, in less than three years, Su Changkong had decided to take action against Wei Shengxin?
Having worked with Su Changkong not for the first time, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man knew Su Changkong’s character – he would not do something if he wasn’t confident, and he also had Ji Xuexiao who possessed the Divine Seed with him.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man nodded immediately, and with a heh he laughed, "This Wei Shengxin is but of a better birth, what’s there to be so lofty about? Wei Shengxin is mostly hidden within the Evil Mountain Range. It’s said that the former Evil Emperor died while meditating right there."
Others might not know where Wei Shengxin secluded himself for cultivation, but the Heavenly Corpse Old Man himself came from the Evil Sect and the Demon Gate and had lived for quite some time. He knew many things unknown to others.
"Good, let’s head for the Evil Mountain Range!"
Su Changkong immediately said.
The three people in the party did not delay, and they flew straight towards the location of the Evil Mountain Range.
Ji Xuexiao was someone that Su Changkong had brought along to support him, just in case.
And the Heavenly Corpse Old Man likewise harbored hatred in his heart for Wei Shengxin.
Both belonging to the Evil Sect and the Demon Gate, Wei Shengxin was still the leader of the Sacred Heart Alliance, the Hierarch. Yet when Mo Junling obliterated the Heavenly Corpse Sect, hunting them to extinction, Wei Shengxin did not step in, did not attempt to stop Mo Junling’s actions. The Heavenly Corpse Old Man was very eager to see Wei Shengxin face the same plight!
The Evil Mountain Range was situated on a tract of land that was no less vast than any of the ten countries, desolate and uninhabited for hundreds, nearly a thousand li around.
The former Evil Emperor spent his latter years meditating in death within it, leaving behind his legacy.
It was not until one of his descendants, Wei Shengxin, who experienced Bloodline Regression, reached the Evil Mountain Range and obtained everything he left behind, was he able to grow to this extent at such a young age.
"Indeed, at the centre of the Evil Mountain Range, there’s a faint barrier, as if it’s there and yet not. I am extremely sensitive to Spiritual Energy, which is how I managed to detect it!"
Having arrived above the Evil Mountain Range, after flying around for a while, Su Changkong noticed something unusual about the mountain range.
Just as the Heavenly Corpse Old Man mentioned, Wei Shengxin’s place of secluded cultivation was right here!
"Then... let’s send a greeting first!"
A cold glint appeared in Su Changkong’s eyes, for he had come here today to take precautions and eliminate threats!
Su Changkong clenched his hand and the Star Pattern Gold Strong Bow appeared in his grasp.
A large amount of spiritual energy from nature converged, forming a Spiritual Energy arrow between Su Changkong’s fingers, drawing the bow to its full extent, he aimed at the spiritual energy barrier below and released the bowstring!
"Whoosh!"
The arrow burst forth, splitting in two during its flight, one enshrouded in wind and thunder and entwined with flames—the Sun Arrow—and the other covered in the moon’s glow—the Moon Arrow. They howled and danced in the sky, and at this night time, they looked like the sun and moon shining together, plunging down from the sky towards the Evil Mountain Range below.
The two arrows pierced through the barrier of Spiritual Energy, landing amidst the Evil Mountain Range and bursting open.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion echoed out for a hundred li, flames tumbled below, igniting the air and trees, and a surging inferno rose like an exploding sun, with cold and sharp moonlight slicing through everywhere, leaving huge fissures in the mountain range.
Scorched trees turned to ash, and rocks were cut to rubble.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man slapped on a flattery, "Brother Blade has excellent archery!"
Ji Xuexiao also nodded slightly in admiration; she could see the immense power of Su Changkong’s archery, which was likely on the level of a Pseudo Divine Skill.
Amidst the rampant flames and moonlight below, a thunderous roar erupted.
"Dao Wufeng! You’re courting death!"
The furious bellow reverberated through the entire Evil Mountain Range, like a raging wind, causing a storm to stir and the sky to change color!
