Chapter 797 The Barbarian Saint's Plot, A Lurker Amidst the Chaos [Please Subscribe]

Kunwu Mountain.

After Bingming Zhenren returned to his cave, Zhou Chun's main body, located in Kunwu Mountain, immediately learned of the news.

That Golden Core cultivator, Zeng Yu, may have been too ignorant to see the deeper meaning behind the pictures on the wolf skin scroll.

However, when Bingming Zhenren saw it, he immediately thought of the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint, a Barbarian Saint who had fallen to the sixth rank.

After receiving instructions from the incarnation of the Tai Geng God, Zhou Chun had been having Fu Shan Jun and Lu Yuan Jun search and explore the entire Tianman Plain whenever they had time, to see if there were any high-level demon beasts and demon kings missing.

However, over the years, there has been nothing noteworthy to report.

Even the Tai Geng God Venerable had some doubts about whether the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint was still alive.

Who would have thought that the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint was not only still alive, but had also left the Tianman Plain, where he had lived for thousands of years, and gone to the Ice Plain to hunt and cultivate!

The Icefield Demon Clan has never interacted much with demon clans from other regions; in other words, they are not sociable.

Even if demon saints like the Azure Phoenix Demon Saint and the Golden Horned Dragon Saint knew that the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint was hunting down the Ice Plains Demon Clan cultivators, they would probably turn a blind eye and tacitly approve of his actions.

The most powerful demon race on the icy plains is only a fifth-tier high-grade demon king.

The Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint might not be able to kill those fifth-tier high-grade demon kings who have the advantage of terrain, but hunting down some fifth-tier low-grade or fifth-tier mid-grade demon kings is not difficult at all.

With his formidable strength and methods, even if the Icefield Demon Clan joined forces, they could not threaten his life at all.

From this perspective, the Ice Plains are indeed the best place for the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint to cultivate in seclusion.

However, the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint probably never expected that although the Icefield Demon Clan was no match for him, they also knew how to use others to do their dirty work, and directly leaked his information to the human race!

As for how the Ice Plains Demon Clan recognized the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint, Zhou Chun didn't have time to think about that for the time being. After digesting the information conveyed by True Person Bingming, his expression changed immediately, and he went to Chang Geng Peak to report the events that had occurred in Snow Dragon Ridge to the incarnation of Tai Geng God Venerable.

After listening to Zhou Chun's report, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord immediately sharpened his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, it is worth my trip!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately pledged his loyalty, saying, "This junior will accompany Senior Tai Geng!"

"Very well, with your abilities, you can indeed be of some help to me!"

The avatar of the God Tai Geng glanced at him and nodded slightly in agreement.

Afterwards, Zhou Chun gave some instructions to his disciple Zhou Zhiying, and then gathered a group of demon kings and spirit pets to accompany the incarnation of Tai Geng God Venerable and leave Kunwu Mountain.

They moved extremely fast, arriving in Bingyi Kingdom in less than two days.

Soon after, Zhou Chun and the avatar of Tai Geng Divine Venerable appeared silently in the cave of Bingming True Person, while all the cultivators in the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold were completely unaware of it.

"Greetings to the Venerable One, greetings to Senior Tai Geng."

Inside the cave, after Bingming Zhenren received Zhou Chun and the other person and led them into the cave, he also bowed to them.

Zhou Chun didn't stand on ceremony with his avatar and immediately used the Assimilation Technique to assimilate and receive the memories of True Immortal Bingming over the past few decades.

Then he had his avatar bring out the wolf skin scroll.

"It really is that Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint!"

Tai Geng, the Divine Venerable, glanced at the giant on the wolf-skin scroll and immediately confirmed that the giant was indeed the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint.

Zhou Chun then said, "There are still remnants of divine soul power on this painting. It seems that a certain demon king imprinted the scenes he saw in his memory onto it. It seems that the wolf demon that delivered the wolf skin scroll was indeed an avatar of a certain demon king, or even a demon king in disguise!"

"Whether it is or not, let's find it first!"

As the avatar of the Tai Geng God spoke, he immediately made hand seals and cast a spell, using the divine soul power on the scroll as a medium to unleash a secret technique for tracking divine souls.

Soon, a white wolf phantom leaped out of the scroll and sped off towards the ice field.

Seeing this, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord reached out and grabbed the white wolf phantom, compressing it to the size of a mouse, and then said in a deep voice, "Follow me!"

After saying that, he left the Xuelongling outpost directly.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun naturally quickly brought his avatar and followed.

They flew along the Xuelong Ridge into the ice field, quickly traveling thousands of miles before finally stopping above an inconspicuous glacier.

"Right here! Watch as I force it out!"

In the sky, the avatar of the Tai Geng God swept his gaze across the glacier below, immediately released the white wolf phantom that was restrained in his hand, and then cast a spell by making hand seals, turning it into a white arrow that shot towards the glacier below.

After the white arrow was shot out, it quickly followed some kind of connection and disappeared into a patch of ice.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chun and the divine senses of Tai Geng Divine Venerable's avatar both sensed a demonic beast aura emerging from beneath the ice.

As soon as this demonic aura appeared, the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable opened his mouth and spat out a silver-white sword light that shot out along with the demonic aura.

As the sword light landed, the hard and unyielding Henggu Glacier was instantly pierced with a bottomless hole, accompanied by a loud roar from inside the glacier.

A moment later, a mournful wolf howl echoed from below the glacier.

Then the glacier broke apart, and a giant white wolf, its body dripping blood, was chased by the silver-white sword light and fled onto the ice surface.

"Huh, it really is a low-grade fourth-tier demonic beast!"

When Zhou Chun saw the giant white wolf, he was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

After saying that, he seemed to realize something and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, the demon soul is too powerful; it must be a demon king possessing and being reborn!"

When the white giant wolf arrived on the glacier and saw the two powerful human Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the sky, it was filled with panic.

It immediately stood up, its claws bent and clenched repeatedly, emitting soft whimpers and cries, full of its will to survive.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Tsk tsk, how pitiful, they don't even have the ability to speak!"

Although it lost the ability to speak, its demonic soul at the level of a demon king was still intact, so communicating through divine sense was not a big problem.

Therefore, the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable quickly shouted at the white giant wolf in a deep voice, "Do you know where that barbarian is now? If you can lead me to him, I will spare your life!"

Upon hearing this, the white giant wolf trembled violently and begged for mercy, saying, "Your Excellency, spare my life! My true form was harmed by that barbarian, and I naturally wish I could tear him to pieces! However, that barbarian is powerful and elusive, and I don't know his exact location!"

"Hmph, if that's the case, what use are you?"

Tai Geng, the Divine Lord, let out a cold snort, and the silver-white flying sword hanging above the white giant wolf's head immediately began to slash down with its sword light.

"Ah! Hold on! I have a way to find that barbarian!"

The giant white wolf let out a miserable howl, its fur standing on end, and it screamed in terror.

Then the flying sword that had been slashing down hovered above his neck, and a tuft of wolf hair was severed by the sword's edge, drifting away like a dandelion seed.

The white giant wolf, having narrowly escaped death, was also afraid that the flying sword would fall completely, so it hurriedly shouted, "Your Excellency, please understand! Although I don't know where the barbarians are located, I do know that the Cold Dragon Demon King is gathering other demon kings to search for them. I am willing to join them and inform Your Excellency!"

"What is the cultivation level of the Frost Dragon Demon King? Can he be a match for that barbarian tribe?"

Zhou Chun suddenly interjected, asking a question that also showed great interest.

Upon hearing this, the white giant wolf immediately replied, "The Frost Dragon Demon King is a fifth-tier high-grade demon king. He once fought against that barbarian and successfully scared him away!"

Upon hearing this answer, both Zhou Chun and the avatar of Tai Geng frowned.

"Senior Tai Geng, there's probably a trap here. Even if the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint has fallen to the fifth rank, he shouldn't be afraid of a mere fifth-rank high-grade demon king, especially since he's been secretly recuperating for so many years!"

Zhou Chun frowned and secretly transmitted his thoughts to the avatar of the God of Tai Geng.

However, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord nodded slightly and said, "Something is amiss. Perhaps that fellow Jiu Ren is deliberately feigning weakness to lure these Icefield Demon Kings together so he can wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

He then said in a deep voice, "My true form is already on its way to the Ice Plains. Once we find that Nine-Blade bastard, we can utterly annihilate him, body and soul!"

This response brought Zhou Chun a great sense of relief.

He then said, "Then let's turn the tables. If we can use the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint's help to severely injure the Icefield Demon Kings, we can also eliminate a potential threat to our human race!"

"That's right, it's definitely worth a try."

The avatar of the Tai Geng God nodded, then transmitted his voice to the white giant wolf: "I will trust you this once. Open your mind and allow me to leave a restriction within your body!"

"this……"

The white giant wolf hesitated, knowing that if a restriction were placed on it, its life and death would be in the hands of others.

But just as it showed hesitation, it felt a sharp pain on the back of its neck, as the sword's blade had already slashed through its neck.

This immediately made it obedient, and it quickly lowered its head and replied, "This little demon obeys."

Then it obediently allowed the avatar of the Tai Geng God to inject a sword aura into its body.

This sword energy is sealed within its body; with just a thought from the Tai Geng Divine Lord, it can immediately erupt and take its life.

It has already possessed a body once, so it has no chance to possess a body a second time.

Having acquired the means to control the white giant wolf, Zhou Chun summoned Lu Yuanjun to heal its injuries, then arranged a way to contact it before letting it leave.

After watching the white giant wolf disappear into the distance, the avatar of the Tai Geng God Venerable said to Zhou Chun, "We can't place all our hopes on such demons, but we also can't alert them. From now on, Zhou Chun, your avatar should also put in extra effort and search for the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint's whereabouts on the icy plains!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied respectfully, "This junior obeys."

Zhou Chun's main body and Tai Geng Divine Venerable's avatar then retreated to the Snow Dragon Ridge stronghold to await news, while Bingming Zhenren wandered around the ice plains, searching for the whereabouts of the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint.

This was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but doing it was better than doing nothing, so Zhou Chun had no complaints.

Anyway, it's not him who's suffering!

Half a day later, the true form of the Tai Geng God also arrived at Snow Dragon Ridge silently, and then personally went deep into the ice field to search.

A Nascent Soul stage Venerable's divine sense can detect a thousand miles away. Even supernatural abilities, secret techniques, and formations that can deceive the divine sense of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator will have nowhere to hide under the detection of a Nascent Soul stage Venerable's divine sense.

This efficiency is far greater than that of Ice Netherworld Master.

However, the ice field is vast, and the target may be moving at any time. Even if the main body of the Tai Geng God Venerable personally goes out to search, it is not certain that he will be able to find the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint.

Ultimately, the information we received came from the giant white wolf.

According to him, the Frost Dragon Demon King and other demon kings have found the place where the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint is hiding and cultivating, and they are rushing towards it together.

Upon learning the news, the true form of the Tai Geng Divine Lord immediately rushed over, guided by the sword energy left inside the white giant wolf.

Zhou Chun and his avatar quickly set off to catch up.

Deep within the icy plains, above an ice abyss where snow and wind never cease, seven powerful demon kings, each with a unique form, suddenly descended upon the place.

One of the giant white birds with four wings flapped its wings, and a gust of wind forcibly blew away the thick snow clouds above the icy abyss, making the surrounding area clear and much brighter.

Such a commotion naturally alerted a certain being who was cultivating in seclusion at the bottom of the Ice Abyss.

Soon, a tall and strong giant rose from the bottom of the ice abyss and flew into the sky, confronting the seven demon kings from afar.

But then, the most imposing of the seven demon kings appeared—a white, icy dragon surrounded by a thick mist, its divine sense shaking the void as it uttered a sharp shout: "Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint, you slaughtered six of my Ice Plains Demon Clan demon kings, treating my Ice Plains Demon Clan as your resources for recovery. Today, we will avenge the six fallen demon kings and make you pay the price!"

Upon hearing this, the tall, strong giant immediately raised his hand to touch the two short horns on his head, and then burst into loud laughter: "Hahahaha, since that's the case, then let this saint see what tricks you have up your sleeves!"

Before the laughter subsided, the person was enveloped in an earthy yellow spiritual light and pounced straight at the white frost dragon.

Seeing this, the white frost dragon was not flustered at all. It immediately opened its mouth and spat out a beam of white frost that shot towards the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint.

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang rang out from mid-air, and the white cold light was directly knocked away by the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint's fist, revealing the true form of a white ice ruler, which was also a spiritual treasure!

At the same time, the other six demon kings also used their own methods, unleashing their signature divine powers to bombard the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint, preventing him from having a chance to deal with the Cold Dragon Demon King alone.

Initially, their actions did have an effect. Even though the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint was not afraid of attacks from the Demon King level, he would lose his impact after being focused on and would often be suddenly frozen, making it difficult for him to even get close.

But just when the demon kings thought their plan had worked and they could launch a more intense attack on the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint, a fiery red armor suddenly appeared on the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint's body!

The moment he donned the fiery red armor, it immediately unleashed intensely hot flames, transforming into a protective halo of fire that enveloped him.

Under the protection of the high-temperature flames released by this armor, the powerful freezing force formed by the Cold Dragon Demon King by fusing the life-bound cold energy of the other demon kings with his own innate divine power was immediately greatly diminished, making it difficult to exert the same restrictive effect on the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint as before.

At this moment, the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint used a movement technique similar to teleportation, quickly appearing beside a fifth-tier low-grade fox demon.

The fox demon was also quick-witted. Sensing something was wrong, it immediately and without hesitation used a life-saving technique called "Substitute" to sever its tail and escape.

Then, the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint unleashed a punch, ultimately shattering only a fox tail in mid-air.

But before the fox demon could even rejoice at escaping death, it saw the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint suddenly inhale and then roar.

Instantly, a deafening roar resounded across the icy plains, causing even the Fifth-Rank High-Grade Demon King, Han Chi, to momentarily lose his composure.

Immediately following was the fox demon's mournful cry, which resounded in the hearts of all the demon kings.

But the fox demon who had just escaped death had his head smashed by a punch from the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint. Before his demon core could escape, he grabbed it, swallowed it whole, and then drank the blood from the fox demon's brain-splattered corpse!

Such a savage and bloody scene made even the demon kings, who were used to eating raw food, feel a chill run down their spines and were filled with fear upon first sight.

Although the fox demon was weak, it was skilled in survival and escape techniques. Yet it was killed in just a few moves and had its pills and blood consumed. How could the other demon kings not be terrified?

"Oh no, we've been tricked! You all go first, I'll cover your retreat!"

The Cold Dragon Demon King, belatedly realizing what was happening, finally understood everything and immediately issued a retreat order to the other demon kings.

He was also very responsible, and actually took the initiative to cover the rear!

"Where are you going? We finally managed to get you all together, no one's leaving today!!"

Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint casually tossed away the fox demon's corpse. With blood smeared on his lips, he grinned menacingly at the group of demon kings before disappearing from the spot in a flash.

Compared to human Nascent Soul stage cultivators like Tai Geng Divine Venerable, speed is indeed a weakness of the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint.

However, at this moment, when facing a group of fifth-tier demon kings, although he had not yet returned to the sixth tier, he was able to use his powerful physical body to achieve something similar to teleportation, and thus he overwhelmed these demon kings in terms of speed!

Following the Fox King, he quickly killed two more fifth-tier low-grade demon kings.

The Frost Dragon Demon King, who had taken the initiative to cover the retreat, was completely unable to stop all of this from happening!

However, just as the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint unleashed his ferocity and began slaughtering the group of Icefield Demon Kings, the Tai Geng Divine Lord had already arrived near the Ice Abyss and was observing them through his pupil technique.

Because his cultivation level had not yet recovered to the sixth rank, even the Nine-Blade Barbarian Saint was completely unaware of this, not knowing that he had one foot in the grave!

I'm going to Changsha tomorrow. I'll be moving for the next few days, so I might not be able to update as many words!
