Chapter 644: Chapter 170 This Demon Beast Should Be Communicable (Please Subscribe)_2
At this time, the day had cleared, and the sun rose slowly from behind the mountain, illuminating the entire Sword Handle Mountain. Sunlight pierced through the clouds and mist, scattering in all directions, as if creating a golden world.
Cheng Guang, accompanied by Gu Wushuang and Black Cub, along with an addition—a token from the Dragon Lord’s Envoy—delved deeper into the Sword Handle Mountain.
Although Cheng Guang was aware that any danger that might surround them could be resolved by the strength of Gu Wushuang and Black Cub, and thus he would most likely not need to lift a finger.
Still, the group proceeded with the utmost caution, ever vigilant of their surroundings.
At this time.
Gu Wushuang walked alongside Cheng Guang, her eyes resembling autumn waters. Besides surveying the environment and any rustles around them, she spent the rest of the time observing Cheng Guang.
...
Gu Wushuang watched Cheng Guang and her red lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something, but before the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back down.
Her demeanor didn’t seem to conceal anything, nor did it seem like she tried to.
Cheng Guang instantly perceived the unusualness in Gu Wushuang’s demeanor he could not bear.
Seeing Gu Wushuang like this, Cheng Guang was somewhat speechless and said with a hint of annoyance, “If you want to ask something, just go ahead and ask.”
“There’s no need to hold it in.”
Upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, Gu Wushuang didn’t play dumb. Instead, she nodded sincerely and turned to Cheng Guang. After pursing her red lips, she spoke slowly.
“Princely Heir, did you come to the Eight-layered Devil Realm, to this Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils, simply to find the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave?”
On the way here,
Gu Wushuang had already learned of Cheng Guang’s purpose.
It was for the ancestral land of the Dragon Lord, the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave.
Now she asked again just to reaffirm.
Cheng Guang nodded slightly.
“You are correct,” he said.
After receiving Cheng Guang’s nod in response, the confusion in Gu Wushuang’s autumn-water-like eyes didn’t diminish; it only grew more intense.
“Then Princely Heir, what do you seek in finding the Ten Thousand Mile Dragon Cave?”
“This ancestral land of the Dragon Lord is not just any place one can visit.”
Hearing this, Cheng Guang gave Gu Wushuang a sidelong glance, as if to say, “Haven’t we already made it here?”
Gu Wushuang’s expression briefly stiffened, then she took a deep breath and said, “Princely Heir, we were lucky this time. Something happened to the Dragon Lord, which is why we could ascend to this Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils so smoothly. If nothing had happened to the Dragon Lord, then we would have…”
At this moment, Cheng Guang didn’t let Gu Wushuang continue speaking and waved his hand to cut off what she was about to say next.
“Whether the Dragon Lord is present or not, we were always going to come up here to the Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils,” he stated.
“The path might be winding, but the outcome is expected to be good,” he added.
Gu Wushuang fell silent for a moment and said no more.
Even though she didn’t understand Cheng Guang’s exact meaning regarding the path and outcome, she grasped the general sentiment.
At this time, Gu Wushuang felt that, as the Abyss Demon Emperor, her perspective seemed much smaller in front of Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.
Gu Wushuang was also clueless about where Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, got such confidence from that he seemed indifferent to the core region of the Eight-layered Devil Realm, the Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils, and even the Dragon Lord himself.
Just as Gu Wushuang thought of something and her red lips parted slightly to speak, her peripheral vision suddenly caught a glint of cold light.
The flash of cold light zipped by, once outside Gu Wushuang’s line of sight, and then appeared before her, swiftly making its way toward the Dragon Lord’s Envoy standing amidst the group.
The Dragon Lord’s Envoy, regardless of his low cultivation and strength, and his spirit nearly shattered by Cheng Guang’s Charm Eyes, still had an instinctual sense of life and death.
When that streak of cold light approached, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy’s legs instantly gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, lying on all fours, unable to hold his head with his hands; he just lowered it deeply.
As the cold light was about to skim past, Black Cub slightly furrowed his brow and suddenly let out a roar.
Despite his dog-like appearance, the roar that Black Cub unleashed held tremendous power.
As the cold light neared the Dragon Lord’s Envoy and heard Black Cub’s roar, it abruptly halted, then noticeably shuddered and fell to the ground with a thud.
With just a single roar, Black Cub had frightened the master of the cold light to cower on the ground.
Cheng Guang immediately turned his gaze in that direction and was slightly taken aback when he saw the owner of the cold light.
There, the cold light’s master was none other than a beast with the likeness of a Demon Beast, though more human in form.
Large in stature and ferocious in appearance, the whole body exuded a great demonic power.
The shimmering cold light was in fact its sharp claws.
Upon seeing the form of the Demon Beast, Cheng Guang was taken aback for a moment, then he stroked his chin, appraising the creature up and down.
Muttering to himself:

“Could this Demon Beast be the Dragon Lord’s prey? An ‘Innate Treasure Body’?”
“It’s not only the Human Race that births Innate Treasure Bodies, but many are also born among the Demon Beasts.”
Cheng Guang’s mutterings were quiet, yet loud enough for both Gu Wushuang and Black Cub to hear clearly.
Gu Wushuang also appraised the Demon Beast, then said, “Princely Heir, this Demon Beast seems to have some sort of constitution, but it’s nothing remarkable. At most, it just moves a bit faster, that’s all.”
