Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Black Fang hurriedly pleaded, "My lord, please investigate!"

The man snorted coldly and released the bald man from his grasp.

Bald Lu was already on the verge of death. He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his face already turning purple, as soon as he was released.

"Fine, I'll let you die knowing why."

"You said that those who helped you went into seclusion to recuperate because they were injured."

"Do you know that just yesterday, White Dragon City was also attacked?"

"The journey between White Dragon City and Snow Peak City is only three to five days at most, so it's clear that the same group of people attacked White Dragon City and Snow Peak City."

How do you explain this?

"What?"

Black Fang and the others were completely dumbfounded. They never expected that Yu Changsheng and his men would not only not restrain themselves after conquering Snow Peak City.

Instead, they chose another city to attack. At this moment, Black Fang and the others realized that they had been betrayed by Yu Changsheng and his group.

Keeping them here is merely a way to buy them time.

I used to think that getting a city for free was a huge win.

Who would have thought that something like this would happen?

Seeing this, Black Tooth had no choice but to tell the truth: "I really don't know where they are."

The man sneered, "Take them away and interrogate them thoroughly. Make sure they tell you everything they know!"

"Nothing can be omitted!"

Black Fang and his men were quickly taken away, and no matter how much they begged for mercy, it had no effect whatsoever.

After all the pirates had been sent away, an old man disembarked from the ship.

The old man was none other than Zhao De.

Zhao De did indeed come, and his original plan was to take over the city and use it as a base to develop his power.

As for Black Fang and the others, Zhao De's original idea was not worth mentioning at all. Did they really think they could take away 50% of Snowtop City's profits? That was wishful thinking.

It was already an act of kindness from Zhao De that he was able to share even 10% of the benefits with them.

However, just as Zhao De received the news and was preparing to come to Snow Peak City to take a look, two people suddenly came to his door.

And those two people were the man and woman standing in front of them.

The two easily defeated Zhao De's several Nascent Soul cultivator guards.

Even he himself was overwhelmed by the two of them and had no choice but to beg for mercy and negotiate.

The two then revealed their purpose: the matter of Snowtop City.

Later, Zhao De also learned that the two were subordinates of the Second Elder, known as the Black and White Mixed Origin cultivators, and were the two most powerful Divine Venerables under the Second Elder.

At this moment, Zhao Decai realized that everything he had done had been seen clearly by the Second Elder.

Fortunately, the Second Elder did not seem to intend to kill him. On the contrary, he agreed to let Zhao De take care of Snow Peak City.

After all, the Xue family of Snow Peak City had long been wiped out.

The remaining people are also incapable of shouldering great responsibilities and are simply not up to the task of protecting a city.

The Second Elder is now unable to mobilize any other personnel to guard this place.

Let's just go with the flow and bring those who follow Zhao De into our fold.

However, the conditions are very harsh. If you want Snow Peak City, you must help the Second Elder deal with the cultivators who attacked Snow Peak City.

No matter who the other party is, you must find out their identity and then kill them all.

With Zhao De's strength, plus the help of the two great cultivators, Black and White Hunyuan, he should be able to deal with five or six Nascent Soul cultivators.

"My lords, I have immediately sent people to interrogate those pirates. I believe it will not be long before we have information about them and bring them to justice."

The two, Hei Bai Hunyuan and Hei Bai Hunyuan, nodded slightly and stepped into Snow Peak City.

After looting, Snowtop City was in complete disarray; these pirates knew nothing of management.

They would snatch away everything of value they could see, and they would also rob anyone they encountered.

As a result, the remaining people also took the opportunity to escape.

Snowtop City is now a silent, lifeless place.

Zhao De, watching from behind, was also somewhat annoyed.

These guys have turned Snowtop City into a complete mess. It will take at least three to five years to recover.

In the next three to five years, Zhao De estimates that he will even have to sacrifice a significant portion of his own assets to allow Snow Peak City to gradually recover.

The two, one black and one white, said:

"Zhao De, we will be in seclusion here for a period of time to refine a magic weapon. If we find any information about that group, report back to us immediately."

"Don't worry. Leave everything to me."

Zhao De nodded in agreement, inwardly cursing a few times.

What are these two bastards? How dare they treat him like a servant? One day, I'll kill these two androgynous creatures.

Zhao De watched the two leave, snorted coldly, and turned to go away.

Meanwhile, Black Fang and his men were interrogating the suspects quite swiftly.

The pirates offered virtually no resistance and revealed everything they knew.

After a comparison, the situation was almost completely restored.

Zhao De was furious when he saw the situation.

"I never expected that those guys would slip away from me."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have taken the opportunity to wipe them out back then."

The deputy standing to the side said:

"Elder Zhao, what should we do now? According to the intelligence from those pirates, the other side has at least six Nascent Soul cultivators, and possibly more."

"With our strength, dealing with them might be a bit troublesome."

Zhao De, however, did not take it seriously.

"What's there to be afraid of? Anyway, with those two guys Wang Donghai sent, we can just hand everything over to them."

"Our job is simply to find the people. If a fight breaks out, we can just bolster our morale from behind, delay some of the opponents, and create opportunities for the two of them."

"Even if we can't win, the main responsibility won't lie with us; it's those two guys who are useless."

"However, to be fair, these two are indeed exceptionally strong; even I found it difficult to withstand their attacks."

The first mate, upon hearing this, exclaimed in surprise, "Captain, have you fought against them before?"

Zhao De sighed slowly, "I'm getting old. If I could have broken through to the Void Refinement Realm ten years ago, I could have easily defeated these two. Unfortunately, a mistake back then caused me to miss such a good opportunity."

The deputy standing nearby also felt a pang of regret upon hearing this.

Ten years ago, Zhao De, who had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, was also preparing to break through to the Void Refinement realm.

Unfortunately, they failed at the crucial moment, and all their efforts were in vain.

Otherwise, their pirate group would have long been a renowned force, with a Void Refinement cultivator in charge, and even the Sea Beast Heavenly Island would not dare to underestimate them.

However, things did not go as planned. Not only did Zhao De fail to break through, but he also damaged his strength, making it impossible to break through using ordinary methods.

There had been rumors in the North Sea that Zhao De was already a Void Refinement cultivator, but that was actually false information they had intentionally spread.

The purpose was to deter their opponents from making any rash moves. If those people knew that Zhao De had failed in his breakthrough and suffered a backlash, they would probably take the opportunity to launch an attack on them immediately.

At that time, their entire pirate crew might be wiped out because of it.

Therefore, even Zhao De, despite his severe injuries, made a public appearance in front of the pirate crew and held a grand banquet, giving people the illusion that he was celebrating.

Such behavior made the rumors more credible, and many people believed that Zhao De had broken through to the Void Refinement Realm, so naturally no one dared to have any further thoughts about them.

The problem is that this method can only keep secrets for a short time, not forever.

The people from the Sea Beast Island were the first to discover it.

If a Void Refinement expert appeared within one's sphere of influence, anyone would want to pay him a visit.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Even Wang Donghai came in person this time.

Who knew that when Wang Donghai met Zhao Decai, he would realize that he had been tricked.

Enraged, Wang Donghai humiliated Zhao De. Zhao De, a man of great forbearance, not only did not get angry, but also apologized to Wang Donghai.

He also offered Wang Donghai ample benefits and promised to follow Wang Donghai's lead in the future, which finally quelled Wang Donghai's anger.

Zhao De was completely helpless. If Wang Donghai took the opportunity to leak Zhao De's information, all his enemies would probably come knocking on his door immediately.

After that, Zhao De continued to work secretly as Wang Donghai's subordinate, doing a lot of dirty work for him.

However, Zhao De also benefited from the misfortune, as he received considerable preferential treatment from Wang Donghai.

But who would want to be someone else's dog for life, especially since Zhao De had always had the opportunity to break through to the Void Refinement Realm and stand on equal footing with Wang Donghai?

Therefore, Zhao De has been searching for other ways to break through the Void Refinement stage.

"How are the preparations going?"

The second-in-command said, "Through those merchants, we've already made arrangements in Sanling Town and Wubian City. We're just waiting for your order, Captain, to proceed."

"Should we make our move now?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao De shook his head.

"No! We're being closely watched by these two guys right now, and if I want to break through this opportunity, I need a lot of preparation and time."

"If those two guys stop us halfway through, then all our efforts will be in vain."

"I've already waited this long, so a little more time won't make a difference."

"Finding those people as soon as possible is of utmost importance, otherwise who knows what those two guys might do."

"In short, the most urgent task is to find those people. Send all the brothers out to gather information immediately."

The first mate said, "Captain, I've noticed that those guys seem to be moving in a somewhat predictable pattern."

"Oh?"

Zhao De quickly asked, "What pattern?"

The deputy immediately took out a map and pointed to the four cities: Sanling Town, Wubian City, Xueding City, and Bailong City.

These four cities can also be connected in a line.

"These guys look like they started from Three Spirits Town, following an irregular route."

"If we follow this pattern, their next destination is very likely to be the Valley of Fire!"

"If my guess is correct, then their ultimate goal is very likely..."

"Holy Land!"

Zhao De immediately noticed something amiss.

If you follow this route, your final destination will most likely be the Holy Land!

"Are these guys crazy? How dare they attack Wang Donghai's sacred ground? They're asking for trouble."

However, the deputy said:

"Captain, you are mistaken. Although the internal struggles on Sea Beast Island are rarely known to the outside world, you should already know quite a bit about them, Captain."

"At this moment, most of Wang Donghai's Nascent Soul power has been deployed to Chen Pingzhen, leaving the protective forces within the Holy Land insufficient."

"Now is the perfect time to strike at that holy land!"

However, Zhao De said with a solemn expression:

"If you can think of that, do you think Wang Donghai wouldn't? In my opinion, when Wang Donghai learned that the two major cities had been attacked one after another, he would definitely have the Holy Land tighten its defenses."

The second-in-command said, "The ships... if those people really attack the Holy Land, shouldn't we take advantage of the situation...?"

Zhao De looked at his deputy, his expression becoming even more profound.

"Indeed, this is a good opportunity. If the rumors are true, and that power is indeed buried within that holy land, this is a golden opportunity for me to break through!"

"In short, you must keep a close eye on the situation in the Holy Land at all times, and report to me immediately if there is any movement."

"clear."

Outside the Valley of Fire.

The scorching heat here has turned the surrounding ground into a dry, cracked expanse of red soil.

Because this place is located near a volcano, the temperature is often extremely high.

However, in this scorching environment, there exists a very special place, which is the location of the Fire Valley.

The so-called Fire Valley is located in an enormous fissure in the ground.

However, due to the special formation above the Fire Valley, the extreme temperatures from the outside world do not affect the Fire Valley.

This also makes the Fire Valley the only place suitable for survival within the volcanic area.

Chen Xueqing and the others arrived outside the Fire Valley. Most of the land here was covered with stones, and there was no sign of life at all.

Du Xingcai frowned as she looked around, somewhat dissatisfied, and said:

"Hey, Yu Changsheng, did you really have to choose a place like this to make your move?"

"What's so great about this place? Sea Beast Sky Island has so many prosperous cities, why come here?"

Seeing Du Xingcai's question, Yu Changsheng explained:

"This place has unique and advantageous conditions precisely because it's right next to a volcano!"

"First of all, this place has a large amount of high-quality ore, all of which can be used to forge weapons and magical artifacts."

"And the volcano here provides an excellent forge."

"This makes Fire Valley an excellent forging mecca, and many forging masters have come from here."

"Even four of the ten great treasures of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island were forged by Fire Valley."

"This place is not only suitable for forging weapons, but also the best location for us to take action." (End of Chapter)
