Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 420 - 4: Gratefulness
Chapter 420: Chapter 4: Gratefulness
Wang Sheng couldn’t be bothered with idle talk and made his move directly.
Were the four elders of Shao family strong?
Of course they were powerful, not to mention, the four Demon Kings they controlled were among the top contenders in the world.
Thus, on hearing this statement, the elders’ expressions turned rather unpleasant.
“You think you are someone significant, daring to…”
Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, three of the elders, along with the Demon Kings they commanded, vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Only the strongest one was left, the sole survivor.
In fact, since arriving in the Royal City, Wang Sheng’s Divine Thought had spread out, seeking the strongest to gather information.
He had then discovered the four elders of the Shao family.
The four elders were the strongest individuals in the Blood Locust Dynasty at that moment.
For a dynasty, this was clearly abnormal, especially since the Blood Locust Dynasty boasted of its king’s great strength.
But in reality, the strongest within the dynasty were the elders, who had not even reached the level of Great Grandmaster, which was hardly fitting for a dynasty. If not for the revival in the Spirit World, Wang Sheng would have thought the Blood Locust Dynasty was just an ordinary one.
Leaving a survivor was to clarify the situation.
However, by then, the remaining elder was utterly terrified, trembling despite being a Great Grandmaster.
Three elders of similar strength, along with three Demon Kings, had just been eradicated.
What kind of technique was this?
He suddenly remembered how Huangtian had addressed the man.

“Sir!”
Huangtian, the leader who had eradicated the forces of two dynasties.
Connecting this with the sudden destruction of two dynasties by the Taiping Sect, he guessed he might know something.
But unfortunately, he couldn’t even utter a single word now.
And before long, he lost control over his own thoughts.
“I ask, you answer!”
“Yes, my lord!”
Huangtian, standing nearby, instantly understood this technique—it was Mind Control.
“A taste of their own medicine,” he chuckled softly to himself, then respectfully stood aside and listened.
Wang Sheng, not bothering with idle chatter, asked, “Who is behind you?”
The Shao Family Elder didn’t hesitate and answered, “Lord Blood Locust King.”
“Blood Locust King, he isn’t from the Human Race, right?” Wang Sheng naturally thought of the Demon he had been so focused on, but he still wanted to confirm.
“Of course, Lord Blood Locust King is a Demon King with heavenly tricks, and all this is within Lord Blood Locust King’s plans.”
“One Demon leading to so many events?” Huangtian found it hard to believe, not expecting a human dynasty to actually be orchestrated by a Demon.
Wang Sheng wasn’t much affected.
In the world of cultivators, strength and techniques represented everything.
“Where is Blood Locust King?”
“In the royal palace!” The Shao Family Elder, controlled by Mind Control, kept referring to “Lord Blood Locust King,” but was clear in his betrayal.
Wang Sheng didn’t say anything.
He had already scouted the royal palace; there were no significant powerhouses there.
The avatars of Blood Locust King were all Grandmasters, which meant Blood Locust King was not in the royal palace.
If that was the case…
He continued to ask, “Where did you previously make contact with Blood Locust King?”
“Tianyun State, Luoyuan Valley…”
The Shao Family Elder provided a location.
Their family frequently offered blood sacrifices, naturally knowing the place.
Blood Locust King also had means to ensure there would be no leak of this information.
Just now, when the Shao Family Elder answered, his Spirit fluctuated slightly, clearly attempting to render the Elder speechless.
Unfortunately, Wang Sheng’s Divine Thought was superior, instantly suppressing this fluctuation and extracting the location.
After obtaining the information, he immediately killed the Shao Family Elder and left a message before departing.
“Huangtian, I leave the aftermath to you. I’m off to solve the problem.”
Huangtian originally wanted to have a discussion with the master, but the master was in such a rush coming and going, he never got the chance.
Nevertheless, regarding the master’s orders, he dared not defy, only muttering softly, “I don’t know why the master is so hurried…”
Wang Sheng was, of course, in a hurry.
He had wanted to set off as soon as he heard about the Blood Locust King.
The Blood Locust King, a Demon King, was different from the others to him.
Not because he established a dynasty, but because of the Black Wood within him.
The Black Wood inside the Blood Locust King was incredibly useful; the two pieces he had previously acquired were crafted into flying swords, which even now are among the top objects he possesses. Furthermore, due to their growth nature, they would remain useful even as he grew stronger.
He had been continuously searching for news of the Blood Locust King, but it was as if he had vanished into thin air.
Now that he had finally found a clue, he couldn’t be happier.
“I originally came here only to solve the problem that would once again give birth to the Spirit World, I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise.”
“Black Wood, I wonder how much I can obtain this time?”
He moved swiftly, arriving at the location described by the Shao Family Elder in an instant.
At that moment, the true form of the Blood Locust King was in the valley.
He was in bad shape, even his avatars were affected.
“True form, you seem to have suffered severe injuries?”
The Blood Locust King’s true form did not deny it.
“Previously my strength was increasing, but suddenly I sustained a severe injury. Instead of increasing, my power has dropped significantly, I have a bad feeling.”
He had been full of confidence in his plan.
In fact, up until just now, the plan had been going smoothly, but no one expected him to suddenly sustain a severe injury.
An avatar said, “I’ve inquired through the Blood Locust Dynasty, many from the Human Race say that the era of dynasties has passed, I wonder if that’s the reason?”
“The era of dynasties has passed, impossible. The power I gained before couldn’t have been fake; it must have been some sort of accident.”
The Blood Locust King had never considered that such a thing could occur in his plan.
“In that case, should we consider escaping?” suggested an avatar.
“That’s unnecessary, we should still be hidden here. And as soon as the four from the Shao family die, I will sense it immediately—”
But he didn’t finish his sentence when the voice of Blood Locust King’s true form abruptly stopped.
“What happened?”
“The four from the Shao family are dead!” The true form suddenly thought the avatar’s suggestion might be worth considering, given the current situation seemed quite odd, “Let’s go, instantly leave, even if we have to abandon some things.”
Although he had other plans left from the Shao family four, the events of today were too peculiar.
First, he suffered an unexpected severe injury, and then his controlled subordinates died inexplicably.
Having plotted for centuries, as cautious as he was, he planned to leave immediately.
“We prepare!”
When the true form gave the order, the avatars naturally had no objections, but leaving still required some Cultivation Techniques.
However, at that moment, an unfamiliar voice sounded in the valley.
“Blood Locust King, is this your true form?”
The Blood Locust King’s true form and avatars tensed up instantly; apart from those who came to offer blood sacrifices, no outsiders had ever entered this place.
Soon, they saw a young man.
“Who are you?!”
The newcomer was naturally Wang Sheng.
He had overheard the conversations between the Blood Locust King’s true form and avatars, thankful he had arrived early. Had he been delayed even a little, it might have taken more time to find them.
“It seems I’m right, I have finally found you, Blood Locust King!”
Wang Sheng bared his big white teeth, smiling, his grin resembling that of a villain.
