Chapter 1021 - 312: Demonic Path Golden Core

"Li Qing, do you think we should wade into this mess?"

The golden-haired monkey, after a moment of struggle, looked towards Li Qing.

Meanwhile, Shen Chongming, upon hearing that Luo Tianxing ended up in such a miserable state because of the handiwork of the powerful force Myriad Dragons’ Nest, started to murmur inwardly.

That was a dragon species, and a massive force formed by pure-blooded dragon species.

During his years at Ice God Palace, he saw general introductions of various dragon species forces in the Cangming Sea Region, from the many treasured geographical notes Ice God Palace possessed.

There are four powerful dragon species forces in the Cangming Sea Region.

Myriad Dragons’ Nest at Return Sea Cliff, Divine Dragon sect at Snowy Sea Cliff, Western Pole Dragon Palace at Cangwu Sea Cliff, and Douxuan Dragon God Mountain at Nanli Sea Cliff.

If the Ice God Palace, Underworld, and Tribulation Fire Sect belong to superior major sects among the seventy-two Cangmin realms, possessing outstanding strength.

Then these four dragon species forces are even stronger, hidden powers surpassing those superior major sects.

Dragon species forces generally do not interact with the cultivators from the seventy-two Cangmin realms, nor do they allow those cultivators to enter their territory.

In those days, Great Prosperity True Monarch forced his way into Myriad Dragons’ Nest, not only killing twelve Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm dragon kings but also capturing countless dragon species, even permitting Lu Benshui to possess a young pure-blooded dragon species. Such actions were not only provocative to Myriad Dragons’ Nest but also a slap to the face of the four dragon species forces.

This is why, after so many years, Myriad Dragons’ Nest still harbors resentment over what transpired back then, relentlessly seeking revenge, deploying over a dozen Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm dragon kings in aggression against Luo Tianxing, who had ties to Great Prosperity True Monarch.

They even resorted to employing extremely powerful forces, leaving behind the powers of "Death" and "Decay" upon Luo Tianxing, seeking to maneuver against cultivators linked to him.

Without a second thought, if Myriad Dragons’ Nest learns of the connection between Shen Family and Luo Tianxing, the future Jiuzhou World will inevitably become their number one enemy.

Li Qing hails from Myriad Dragons’ Nest, the golden-haired monkey undoubtedly understands the might of Myriad Dragons’ Nest.

With Myriad Dragons’ Nest targeting Luo Tianxing, it truly wishes to steer clear from getting involved further.

Last time, saving Shen Chongxu, he already had to give up face, if he were to mix in Luo Tianxing’s affairs now, it would surely be overstepping the bounds.

Li Qing, at this point, was equally solemn.

Rationally speaking, he indeed does not wish the golden-haired monkey to get involved with Myriad Dragons’ Nest.

After all, just how formidable Myriad Dragons’ Nest is, he knows all too well.

But right now, if the golden-haired monkey does not intervene...

"Fellow Daoist Li, Elder Jin."

Seeing the two demons with a look of difficult decision, Shen Chongming immediately clasped his hands saying, "Chongming failed to consider thoroughly, did not foresee Elder Luo was targeted by Myriad Dragons’ Nest to end up like this."

"Given this pertains to the dragon species, Chongming must not involve you two further."

After speaking, he picked up the Jade Bottle before him, employing techniques to store Luo Tianxing’s nascent soul within it.

The golden-haired monkey might have some heritage, not too intimidated by those superior major sects among the seventy-two Cangmin realms.

But Myriad Dragons’ Nest, such dragon species force, indeed is untouchable.

Luo Tianxing has been kind to Shen Family, and has no relation to Li Qing and the golden-haired monkey standing before them.

He too does not wish to drag the two demons present into danger for personal reasons.

"Fellow Daoist Shen..."

Seeing this, Li Qing initially wanted to say something but upon recalling the vengeful nature of those ancient dragon kings from Myriad Dragons’ Nest, if the golden-haired monkey were to save the only remaining nascent soul cultivator, they would surely get entangled in this karma.

By then, facing the pursuit from Myriad Dragons’ Nest, the golden-haired monkey would likely find no peace ever again.

Li Qing hesitated.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Elder Jin, Chongming will take his leave now."

Shen Chongming knew staying any longer would only cause the two demons’ internal turmoil, better to leave promptly.

He stood up, clasping his hands toward the two, Shen Chongming’s figure flashed and disappeared from the pavilion.

Watching the stream of light his body turned into, Li Qing couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

The golden-haired monkey also felt somewhat desolate.

"These cultivators of this family are indeed strange..."

"The cowardly, treacherous nature of human race cultivators is never seen on this family’s members."

Li Qing picked up the wine pot before him, poured full cups for himself and the golden-haired monkey, and sighed, "Now, Brother Jin understands why I became acquainted with Brother Shen at first sight and found him a soulmate, right?"

"Compared to Chongming, Brother Shen possesses more of the straightforwardness of a sword cultivator in his character."

"He truly embodies the folklore ’spirit of the knight’ known among the human race."

The golden-haired monkey raised his wine cup before him, smiling as he did, "You, ah, hold such high esteem for Shen the sword cultivator, this old ape cannot help but feel curious, wanting to meet him and see what kind of divine being he really is."

Li Qing raised his cup too, his face showing reminiscence, "We shall meet, if Brother Shen remains well, we shall have the chance to meet again."

...

Shen Chongming left the pavilion, returning to his dwelling, and found Shen Chongxu and Wushi Qianrou standing outside his wooden house.

Upon seeing Shen Chongming, Shen Chongxu slightly clasped his hands, "Brother Ming."

Wushi Qianrou also slightly bowed with courtesy.

Shen Chongming nodded, the three entered the wooden house, the brothers seating face to face, while Wushi Qianrou proficiently prepared a pot of spirit tea for the two, standing behind Shen Chongxu.

"Brother Ming went out earlier?"

Shen Chongming glanced at Wushi Qianrou, then nodded, briefly explaining what had transpired upon himself.

"As your brother, I am ashamed, not only failed to find the Five Elements Secret Realm and family but also brought you numerous troubles."

The Patrol Dao of Fengshui Realm, the eccentric Dao Slave old beggar, coupled with the mysterious entity able to manipulate causality to scheme against him, now it is dragon species...
