Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 134: The Burden Too Heavy for Prevalent Mirror, Element Beast Transforms?

Chapter 134: Chapter 134: The Burden Too Heavy for Prevalent Mirror, Element Beast Transforms?

In the depths of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, a large swath of vegetation had been flattened, and a massive pit was carved into the ground. The aftermath of the fierce battle between two factions was brutal; blood and severed limbs were scattered everywhere.

The once high-spirited Sun Yuhu had survived, but he was in a pitiful state. Covered in blood, his face swollen and bruised, he was pinned to the ground under Kong Fusheng’s foot.

"Uncle Kong, everything I said is true! Please, you have to believe me!" Sun Yuhu pleaded. He had no choice but to beg for mercy; all of his men were dead, leaving him completely alone.

Kong Fusheng’s side had also suffered heavy losses. Besides himself, there was only one survivor, and that man was missing both his arms and legs.

"Bullshit! How could a Soul Seal possibly be forced out!"

Although Kong Fusheng had just listened to Sun Yuhu’s detailed account of the encounter with Ning Xuan’s group, the whole story sounded like a lie.

"It’s true! I swear on my Divine Soul! Right, that kid planted a Heart-Devouring Gu on me. I can lead you right to him. Once we find him, the truth will come to light!"

Sun Yuhu’s words made Kong Fusheng hesitate.

Hundreds of years after the Galaxy Sword Sect was destroyed, Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace had gradually evolved into a world dominated by powerful, noble families. Today, Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace was home to ten top-tier noble families. His Kong Family was inferior in strength to Sun Yuhu’s. The key was that as Direct Lineage disciples of a noble family, they each possessed a Soul Seal. If he killed Sun Yuhu, it would mean declaring open war on the Sun Family.

Kong Fusheng finally nodded. "Fine! I’ll trust you this one time! But if you dare deceive me, I will tear you to pieces to avenge my son!"

"Thank you! I’ll prove my words are true very soon! They must have headed for Bi Luo Palace. Let’s set off at once."

Sun Yuhu sighed in relief, burning with impatience for revenge.

Son of a bitch! That fucking prick humiliated me this badly... I will have my revenge! And Kong Fusheng... I won’t let this go either!

As Sun Yuhu got to his feet, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Right, if what you said is true, you won’t try to retaliate against me afterward, will you?" Kong Fusheng suddenly asked.

Sun Yuhu jumped in fright and quickly shook his head, denying it outright. "How could I possibly do that? This whole affair was their fault from the start. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and my revenge will be directed solely at them!"

Kong Fusheng nodded. "Right! Those people dared to toy with both of us, openly trying to incite conflict between our two great families. They will pay for the lives of my son, the twelve King Realm experts, and for all the men you lost!"

Sun Yuhu’s eyes flickered. He glanced at the limbless Kong Family Martial Artist, drew his bow, and shot him dead.

The Martial Artist’s disbelieving gaze was still fixed on Kong Fusheng.

WHOOSH!

A streak of black light shot into Sun Yuhu’s body. He stared in stunned silence.

Kong Fusheng said calmly, "He was one of my father’s indiscretions from his younger days."

Sun Yuhu’s mouth twitched.

Fuck! This bastard is absolutely ruthless! That was his own relative! Now this death is on my head. If I try to move against Kong Fusheng now, the Kong Family really won’t let me off the hook.

"Uncle Kong is right. The bond between our two families is stronger than steel. Whoever dares to provoke both of us at once, no matter who they are, must pay the price!"

Under the circumstances, he had no choice but to abandon his previous plans and cooperate with the Kong Family.

Only then did Kong Fusheng nod, satisfied. He now held a trump card over Sun Yuhu’s life, so he knew Sun Yuhu wouldn’t dare to act rashly. What’s more, Sun Yuhu now had to rely on him.

He immediately invited Sun Yuhu onto his blood-winged bird.

"Uncle Kong, that direction!"

High in the sky, Sun Yuhu pointed out a direction for Kong Fusheng. The blood-winged bird soared at high speed.

Kong Fusheng asked, "I recall the Heart-Devouring Gu has a rather wide range of control, correct?"

From the back of the bird, where Sun Yuhu was cleaning himself, his voice came, filled with pride. "Of course! Within a thousand miles, as long as I stimulate the Mother Gu, the Gu worms will activate! Furthermore, the worms will control their host, forcing them to move closer to the Mother Gu!"

"Very well! Qianling City is in this direction. Once we get inside, stimulate the Mother Gu!"

Sun Yuhu was startled. "Uncle Kong, perhaps we should pick another place. You know Qianling City is the Qian Family’s territory, and our families are not on good terms with them."

Kong Fusheng stated confidently, "Don’t worry. With the Heart-Devouring Gu, we won’t alert the Qian Family!"

Sun Yuhu thought about it for a moment and, seeing the logic, nodded in agreement.

「Meanwhile.」

Ning Xuan stood outside the towering city walls of Qianling City, gazing up at them.

What a majestic city wall. But it doesn’t seem to have been built very long ago.

Ning Xuan couldn’t sense any traces of great age from it. Mumbling to himself, he continued forward.

After crossing the drawbridge, he saw a line of people waiting to enter the city. The city gate was extremely wide, and it didn’t appear to be heavily guarded. Ning Xuan was a bit puzzled by the queue, but he decided to follow the rules.

After waiting for a few moments, Ning Xuan remarked in surprise, "You just have to look in a mirror? I thought there would be a fee."

"A fee? You must not know who built this city." A man behind him laughed and kindly explained, "That’s a Prevalent Mirror. Its purpose is to prevent Transformed Element Beasts from sneaking into the city."

Ning Xuan was astonished. "Element Beasts can Transform?"

"That’s right. The Myriad Beasts Mountain Range isn’t far from here. Some Element Beasts in the mountains have obtained an ancient inheritance, allowing them to Transform once they reach the King Level."

Ning Xuan nodded his thanks, immediately thinking of the Scapegoat Ape.

That must be why I couldn’t detect it at first.

Soon, it was Ning Xuan’s turn. Being human, he confidently stepped in front of the Prevalent Mirror.

Then... BANG!

The mirror exploded on the spot!

"Close the city gates!!!"

The crowd immediately panicked and fled. As the city gates slammed shut, countless heads popped up along the top of the wall. Archers drew their bows, all aiming squarely at Ning Xuan.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Before the sealed gates, a ring of guards surrounded Ning Xuan, the cold light of their spear tips pointed right at him.

Ning Xuan was stunned for only a moment before he understood.

It has to be the twelve Divine Veins. Each one in my body represents an ancient Divine Beast! That Prevalent Mirror is designed to detect mere Element Beasts; how could it possibly withstand the aura of a Divine Beast? Still, for it to sense them at all is quite extraordinary.

Far from panicking, Ning Xuan actually felt a flicker of interest, wanting to study it.

Just then, an excited youth’s voice came from behind the tightly shut gates. "A Transformed Element Beast has arrived? Hahaha, I’ve been waiting for this!"

"Is it male or female? Is it beautiful? What are you all doing? Hurry up and open the gate, let me out!"

"Duo Duo, an Element Beast capable of Transforming is incredibly dangerous!"

"I know that. But I have you guys, don’t I? With you here, never mind a simple Transformed beast—even one that had formed a Divine Soul wouldn’t be a match for a single one of you!"

After this round of flattery, the heavy gate opened a crack. A middle-aged man slipped out cautiously, then with considerable effort, pulled a chubby little boy with a round belly through the gap.

A moment later, the chubby boy appeared not far from Ning Xuan, flanked by the two middle-aged men, who looked as though they were facing a formidable enemy.
