Chapter 529: Chapter 388: Coaxing and Deceiving, Subduing the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python, and Laying an Ambush

While Lin Chang’sheng was busy refining corpses on his side.

A beautiful figure was already streaking across the skies over the Cyan Cloud Sect.

This figure boasted curves in all the right places, skin whiter than snow, and a beauty that defied description.

Yet hidden in this woman’s eyes was a fierce murderous intent.

This woman was no one else but the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python, transformed into human form and out to hunt for Lin Chang’sheng.

"Master, Xiaonan can sense your aura now!"

Xiaonan spoke slowly.

She knew Lin Chang’sheng was close by, and as soon as she found him, she would tear him limb from limb.

If he hadn’t stolen the Spirit Coffin, she’d never have risked being discovered by the humans.

Whoosh—

After Xiaonan left, Gu Shan landed atop a nearby mountain range, not far from Cyan Cloud Sect.

"Kid, you’d better run far away. If she catches you, even I might not be able to save you!"

Gu Shan muttered to himself.

Following all this way, he was more and more convinced just how terrifying the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python truly was.

Whenever she encountered a cultivator who lusted after her beauty, she simply swallowed them whole, alive.

And many were Integration Stage or even Mahayana Stage cultivators.

Once, passing through a city called Immortal Monarch City, she entered searching for Lin Chang’sheng, and a few cultivators took notice of her.

After provoking the Three-headed Ice and Fire Python, and in a fit of rage, she devoured the lives of every single person in Immortal Monarch City—tens of thousands, all gone.

Such power, surely only those in the Tribulation Crossing Stage could match her.

So at this moment, Gu Shan hoped Lin Chang’sheng wouldn’t be discovered by the python—because if he was, he knew exactly what fate awaited him.

In a flash, three days went by.

Myriad Beasts Sect.

"What? Lin Chang’sheng passed by Cyan Cloud Sect? That means he’s heading straight for the Immortal Palace. In that case, we can ambush him along the way!"

Dugu Yifang instantly started plotting the moment he heard Lin Chang’sheng had passed by Cyan Cloud Sect.

Thirty thousand miles from Cyan Cloud Sect lay Scorpion Valley.

Inside Scorpion Valley was a major force: the Nine Poison Sect.

The Nine Poison Sect had a good relationship with the Myriad Beasts Sect. And as long as enough benefits were offered, there was nothing the Nine Poison Sect wouldn’t dare do.

So Dugu Yifang intended to head to Scorpion Valley and join up with the Nine Poison Sect to ambush Lin Chang’sheng.

If Lin Chang’sheng died in chaos, who would ever suspect the Myriad Beasts Sect?

Even if the Immortal Palace found out, Dugu Yifang wasn’t afraid; the hatred of a murdered son wouldn’t rest until vengeance was taken—even if their sect were destroyed, Dugu Yifang wouldn’t back down.

"Sect Leader, if we really kill Lin Chang’sheng, how will we answer to the Immortal Palace?"

One elder still felt uneasy inside.

After all, the Immortal Palace had already issued an Immortal Palace Order.

None of the great factions were allowed to touch Lin Chang’sheng.

And since they’d discovered Lin Chang’sheng’s whereabouts, surely the Immortal Palace would too.

If the Immortal Palace learned that they were plotting against Lin Chang’sheng—

there’d be hell to pay.

"So what? Why should I fear them? Elder Hua, if you’re scared of dying, just leave the sect now!"

Dugu Yifang snapped coldly, not giving the Immortal Palace a second thought.

"This..."

Elder Hua suddenly didn’t know what to do.

If he stayed in the Myriad Beasts Sect, he’d never have a good end, but if he left now, he’d look cowardly and weak.

"Sect Leader, I’ve spent most of my life working for the Myriad Beasts Sect. I can’t just watch our sect plunge into the abyss! Please, think this over!"

Elder Hua kept trying to persuade him.

"And if I refuse to reconsider?"

There was no way Dugu Yifang could be talked out of this now.

"If the Sect Leader insists on this path, then I’ll take my disciples and leave. From now on, I’ll have nothing to do with the Myriad Beasts Sect!"

Elder Hua declared his stance!

But upon hearing this, Dugu Yifang’s eyes turned icy cold.

If Hua Changxing wanted to leave, fine. But to take sect disciples with him? Wasn’t that disrespect—ignoring his authority as sect leader?

"Hua Changxing, you’ve got some nerve. You want to defect and leave the sect, fine, but taking my disciples with you? What’s your true intention?"

Before Dugu Yifang could speak, the Third Elder barked harshly.

The Third Elder was one of Dugu Yifang’s staunch supporters, personally raised up by him.

"I just don’t want all our disciples to die—I want to leave some seed for the sect. If Sect Leader insists on targeting Lin Chang’sheng, our sect will perish within days!"

Hua Changxing said angrily.

Five hundred years ago, the Immortal Palace issued an order to hunt down a spirit beast that had escaped from a sect.

Anyone who killed and secretly hid the beast would be hunted down by the Immortal Palace.

But some sects grew greedy, thinking the spirit beast—already gravely wounded—could be slain by a Mahayana stage expert.

Among them was a faction called Blood Sword Sect, sure the Immortal Palace wouldn’t know, so they killed the beast and hid it.

But the Immortal Palace somehow found out with a secret technique, and in the end, not a single soul from the sect survived.

So Hua Changxing knew: if Dugu Yifang insisted on this, there’d be no way out for the Myriad Beasts Sect.

"Nonsense! You’re just afraid to die! And you want to take our disciples and leave, set up your own sect?"

The Third Elder spat out again, furious.

If the Immortal Palace was really that powerful, why would it only rank third among Immortal Realm factions?

"I’ve said all I can. If none of you will listen, then there’s nothing more to say!"

Hua Changxing didn’t want to argue anymore. He turned to leave.

But how could Dugu Yifang let him go unharmed?

If he left safely, more defiant souls would just follow his example and walk away.
