Chapter 693 - 427 Kongsang Wuzhiqi! ’Fire Bud Crystal’ matures!

"In Nanxiong City, among the ’Three Families and Two Sects’ plus the City Lord Mansion and the General Mansion, besides City Lord Fu Xixiang and Great General Kuang He, there aren’t any other formidable figures, and I haven’t provoked these two. ""The Black Butcher?"

"Impossible!"

"The Black Butcher is a newcomer, not considered a strong expert. "

"Could it be an expert from the ’Four Families and Three Sects’ over in King City?"

"The Fu Family where Fu Zhe is?"

"The Feng Family where Feng Jin is?"

"Or have people from the Lishan Sect Jiujiang Institute where Shangguan Ji resides come to invite me to become a tribute?"

"Or even, did Chi Suo, a sworn enemy of Fu Zhe, invite experts from the Chi Family to ruin Fu Zhe’s plans?"

Yan Chuan speculated.

Too many possibilities!

After a year, the people he encountered upon returning to Nanyue Lake, although few, were of high quality and complex backgrounds, each belonging to either the ’Four Families’ or the ’Three Sects’, making it possible that the incoming Innate expert could be from any of these factions.

Wang Zhengyi’s ’Monkey King Avatar’ could sense the murderous intent, indicating the comer had ill intentions. "

"Malicious!"

"Not a good person!"

Wang Zhengyi transmitted: "Had I not been hiding in the ’Burial Demon Cave’, that person would’ve skinned me alive! "

Wang Zhengyi was very displeased.

His cautiousness paid off.

If he had been reckless, accompanying Yan Chuan and Chen Ze to storm Moth Island and seize the Fire Bud Crystal without securing the ’Monkey King Avatar’ or hiding within that ’Burial Demon Cave’, he might have lost his avatar, which would be a huge loss!

Fear turned to rage.

"Burial Demon Cave."

Yan Chuan knew of this place; it was one of the three major forbidden areas around Nanyue Lake—

No burial for the dead ’Great Rift Valley’!

Nine lives and one death ’Ten Dragon Pond’!

Devil-infested ’Burial Demon Cave’!

These three dangerously ominous places were such that even Innate Divine Generals wouldn’t dare enter lightly, and once inside, it was hard to come out unscathed.

Of these, the ’Burial Demon Cave’ was rumored to be a place where devils were buried, with the constant whispering of demonic sounds and innumerable devils lingering, driving Martial Artists with unstable mental states, impure True Qi, and unstable experiences mad or even to death.

If you don’t want to die, don’t go in!

As for Wang Zhengyi—

His ’Monkey King Avatar’ went in, using the ’demonic sounds’ and ’devils’ within to train himself, and if he couldn’t hold on, he could immediately share the burden with his ’Alligator Beast Avatar’ through the ’Soul Channel’, or simply temporarily sever the connection with his ’Monkey King Avatar’, which allowed him to adjust, adapt, and explore intermittently. This was Wang Zhengyi’s unique advantage, enabling him to acquire many rare treasures and Essence Stones in Nanyue Lake.

Burial Demon Cave!

Both a dangerous place and a treasure trove!

And for Wang Zhengyi, it’s also a top-notch place for shelter and business.

This is the ’Burial Demon Cave’.

Yan Chuan knew about the ’Burial Demon Cave’, and he didn’t inquire about how Wang Zhengyi’s ’Monkey King Avatar’ could stay inside for a long time, but rather, he was more curious about Wang Zhengyi’s secret than—

"That person!"

"Who exactly is it?"

...

Tear!

Another sound resonated in the sky above the island.

On Moth Island, Yan Chuan, Baili Qingfeng, Chen Ze, Wang Zhengyi, the Fire-Eyed Golden Ape, and others looked up, focusing their gazes on a monster stepping in.

Its shape resembled that of an ape, with a flat nose, a protruding forehead, a white head, a blue body, and eyes of golden flame.

Standing a full ten feet tall, its neck alone stretched six feet, longer than its body and legs combined.

"Its form resembles an ape, white-headed and long-maned, with golden eyes and snow-white teeth, moving nimbly in a blink."

Baili Qingfeng’s expression changed: "It’s Wuzhiqi!"

"Wuzhiqi?"

Yan Chuan, not as knowledgeable as Baili Qingfeng, also recognized it after this reminder.

Yet he didn’t understand—

"Wuzhiqi!"

"This is ’Mythical Weapon’."

"It’s not as if a myth has descended."

"Even if ’Wuzhiqi’ is a Second-Rank Divine Weapon, with conventional combat power on land comparable to the Innate Ten Layers, and underwater peak combat power comparable to the Innate Fourteenth Layer, stronger than my enhanced ’Jiazi Tai Sui’ with ’Three Heads and Six Arms’."

"But!"

"Baili Qingfeng, with his power, it shouldn’t be the case!"

Yan Chuan was unclear why Baili Qingfeng’s expression changed.

Just about to inquire.

No need to inquire, he saw Wuzhiqi in the sky scanning below, its ’Eyes of Golden Flame’ glancing at the ’Fire Bud Crystal Tree’ bursting with brilliance, then its gaze fell on Baili Qingfeng, roaring: "Baili Qingfeng! Not seen for twelve years, and this is the encounter you have!"

This person!

Actually knew Baili Qingfeng!?

Yan Chuan was stunned, initially thinking this person was the powerful one Wang Zhengyi mentioned, believing they were searching for him by his qi and scent.

Now it seems, maybe not?

Yan Chuan decided to watch things unfold.

Baili Qingfeng’s expression changed again.

Wuzhiqi wasn’t exchanging pleasantries, issuing a reprimand from above: "Baili Qingfeng! Discovering such significant intelligence about the ’Moth Vine’ and the ’Fire Bud Crystal Tree’ and failing to report it, what do you have to say for yourself?!"

Reprimanding!

Accusation!

This person had quite a temper!

Baili Qingfeng sighed, clasped his fists, and asked respectfully, "May I ask, which Divine General of the Fu Family is present?"

Fu Family?

Yan Chuan was startled.

What’s going on?

"I am one of the ’Fourteen Water Gods’ of the Fu Family, the ’Kongsang Wuzhiqi’, Fu Manduo!"

’Wuzhiqi’ announced its identity.

Yan Chuan’s understanding of the ’Four Families and Three Sects’ of Hunxi Royal City wasn’t deep, but from the mouths of Fu Zhe, Shangguan Ji, and others, and from the words of Baili Changjing, She Bai, Zao Ci, these Innate experts of Nanxiong City, he had gathered some information.

He knew that the ’Hunxi Four Families’ had many Divine Generals; the exact number was unknown, only those famed ones were known.

For example, the ’Fu Family’s ’Fourteen Water Gods’, ’Twelve Mountain Gods’, and ’Ten Lands’, notably including thirty-six renowned Divine Generals.
