Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 140: Breaking Free from Shackles, the Human Emperor’s Revival!
Qian Wanyi shook his head and corrected, "The value of that demon ape... all our treasures combined wouldn’t be enough to match it! We’ve hit the jackpot this time! A gentleman acquires wealth by honorable means, after all. Whose son could he be? For his family to exile him like this... they will certainly regret it in the future!"
At this point, Qian Wanyi suddenly had a realization. Ning Xuan had to be a pseudonym. His willingness to simultaneously take on both the Kong and Sun Families could only mean that his own family had no fear of the two clans joining forces.
The Jiang Family or the Chu Family? Or maybe the Lin Family? Lin... Ning... Qian Wanyi muttered to himself, his eyes growing brighter.
With a few ideas taking shape in his mind, he hurriedly asked the chubby boy, "Duoduo, where’s your Big Brother?"
The chubby boy glanced up from the "candy" he was eating and mumbled, "He left."
"You... you damn beast, why didn’t you keep him here!" Qian Wanyi was livid.
"I tried, but Big Brother said he doesn’t like owing favors and wanted to find an Element Beast for me as soon as possible, so I told him to hurry up," Qian Duoduo said matter-of-factly.
Qian Wanyi was about to explode with rage. If this infuriating child wasn’t his own flesh and blood, he would have slapped him dead and been done with it.
Mrs. Qian quickly asked, "Which way did he go?" She wanted to send men after him.
Qian Wanyi shook his head. "Forget it. If he’s decided to leave, then let him. With his abilities, I’m sure we’ll be hearing news of him again very soon."
Qian Duoduo nodded repeatedly in agreement with this.
"Oh, right, Dad. Big Brother left you a letter before he left."
Qian Wanyi’s face lit up with joy. "Quick, give it to me."
"I was passing by the Carp Pond and washed my face, and the letter fell in."
Qian Wanyi clenched his fists, grinding his teeth. "And then?"
"Dad, the paper you use is too cheap. I tried to fish it out a few times, but it just dissolved. You use Heavenly Crystal for your pens, so why not for your paper?" Qian Duoduo complained, managing to sound self-righteous.
Qian Wanyi’s vision went dark. "I’m going to kill you, you damn brat!"
The chubby boy was prepared. He shoved Mrs. Qian forward to block his father and then bolted, disappearing in a flash.
Mrs. Qian pretended not to notice, her eyes suddenly bright. "Ah, I know where he went!"
"Where?"
"The Myriad Beasts Mountain Range!"
As it turned out, Mrs. Qian had guessed correctly. After leaving Qianling City, Ning Xuan headed straight for the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. That demon ape was a colossal threat to the people of Qianling City, and he had to eliminate it before he truly departed.
「Deep within the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.」
Ning Xuan sat face-to-face with the demon ape. "I know you can transform," he said calmly, facing the enormous, imposing beast. "Come down and talk to me."
The demon ape did not answer. After a long hesitation, a metallic clanging sound emanated from its body as it began to shrink. But then, suddenly, the process stopped.
"You are observing my Way of Transformation!" a rough voice boomed.
Ning Xuan nodded, openly admitting it.
"Human, what exactly do you want?!" the demon ape demanded, leaning forward as flames danced in its eyes.
Ning Xuan didn’t respond. After a moment of silence, he said, "The next step is..." He proceeded to describe the very part of the ape’s Way of Transformation that it hadn’t yet completed.
The demon ape was stunned. A look of wild joy flashed in its eyes. A moment later, the demon ape opposite Ning Xuan vanished, replaced by a tall, heroic man.
"My Way of Transformation was incomplete! To thank you for helping me perfect it, I will grant you a whole corpse when I kill you!" The man’s expression was complex, but his final words were laced with killing intent.
Ning Xuan was completely unsurprised. "I know. Your previous Way of Transformation couldn’t fully change your face. You knew you were ugly, so you didn’t dare to complete it. No need to thank me. It was a trivial matter."
Is that something a human should say?!
The demon ape shot to its feet, enraged. But just as quickly, he sat back down and sneered, "You’re trying to provoke me so you’ll have a justification to strike, aren’t you?"
Ning Xuan shook his head. "You’re overthinking things. I have a thousand ways to kill you."
The demon ape turned his head. "Are all humans so arrogant?"
Ning Xuan simply recited the Way of Transformation again, but this time, the crucial, core part was different.
At first, the demon ape listened with a confused expression. But by the time Ning Xuan finished, his face had changed dramatically. If he transformed according to this new method, he would suffer a catastrophic backlash at the final moment! More terrifyingly, he wouldn’t have detected a single thing wrong until it was too late.
"Who in the world are you?!" The demon ape stood up, his gaze fixed on Ning Xuan, full of shock and dread. This human youth was simply too bizarre. He was merely at the Human Realm of Cultivation, yet he could command the divine Qilin. And what’s more, he clearly didn’t know the Way of Transformation of Element Beasts, yet he was able to perform the ultimate deduction in such a short time. To achieve a perfect transformation, he himself had paid an enormous price, even to the point of becoming a human’s slave. And yet, this youth, without asking for anything in return, had unreservedly taught him the perfect Way of Transformation.
"Me? Just a passerby." As he spoke, a Witch Mother appeared in his hand, and he offered it to the demon ape.
The demon ape was stunned. "Do you know what it means to give this to me?"
Ning Xuan nodded. "I know. The shackles within you can be completely removed."
"Once my shackles are removed, crushing you will be as easy as crushing an ant!"
Ning Xuan smiled. "If I dare to give it to you, I naturally have a way to deal with you."
Flames danced in the demon ape’s eyes, his aura surging. But in the end, he did not strike. Instead, he crushed the Witch Mother in his fist.
BOOM!
At the same time, the parasites inside his body exploded. He dropped to his knees with a pained howl as a terrifying aura erupted from him. The power felt as if a Human Emperor had been resurrected. The aura now blasting from the demon ape was no weaker than that of the so-called Human Emperor’s Order.
The demon ape broke free from his shackles, unleashing the terrifying Majestic Pressure of an Emperor-rank Element Beast.
"Hahaha, This Lord has finally recovered!" he laughed wildly, his voice shaking the entire region. At that moment, every Element Beast in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range prostrated itself on the ground.
「Atop the walls of Qianling City.」
Qian Wanyi stood above the main gate, muttering, "Young Master Ning... Young Master Ning... please don’t let this get out of hand." Worry filled his eyes. If things went wrong, the entire city of Qianling would be annihilated!
「Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.」
The demon ape looked down upon Ning Xuan, his aura thick with murder. "How do you wish to die?"
Instead of answering, Ning Xuan asked a question of his own. "I want to know, where is the person who placed those shackles inside you?"
The demon ape stared at him, dumbfounded. Ultimately, his momentum faltered.
"I don’t know, but he can’t be much older than you. Wait... don’t tell me you know him?!" The demon ape’s eyes widened as he stared intently at Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan nodded. "If my senses are correct, he’s the person I’ve been looking for. And it’s his True Body."
