Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng's trio had acquired the Kunlun Palace's secrets, but they all left in a melancholic mood.
They were saddened to see all of the Kunlun Palace in ruins as, after all, they were descendants of Earth.
When Qingfeng reappeared outside of the Palace, Black Puppy ran forward and asked, "What kind of treasures did you find inside?"
Bang!
Qingfeng kicked Black Puppy several meters away, obviously not in the mood for its antics.
Yes, Qingfeng did acquire treasures when he was in the Kunlun Palace, but the thought of the deceased ancestors of Earth made him extremely sad. He had great burden and responsibility, and at Black Puppy's questions, he could only respond with force.
"Why did you hit me? I only asked a question," said Black Puppy gloomily.
This time, Qingfeng didn't hit it, but Flower Fairy did since she was closer to it.
Black Puppy rolled its eyes in pain, Flower Fairy was clearly upset as well, and this Black Puppy blabbed incessantly. It became a stress toy.
Black Puppy was very upset. It used to rule the immortal realm and everyone knew its name, but now that its powers had decreased, it became so easily bullied. Its dog heart became very depressed by such mistreatment.
Qingfeng and the others left the Kunlun Palace ruins and continued to search for Wushuang Nie.
On the other side of the ruins cliff, they found Wushuang. He lied on top of a rock on the lower part of the cliff, unconscious. Qingfeng then rushed forward to save him.
Swoosh!
A fierce sword energy shot through the cliff, its sword energy tore through the surroundings, and ripped open an endlessly deep crack on the ground before Qingfeng.
"This is the Sword Saint Ruins, no one is allowed in," said a cold voice that rang through the sky.
Sword Saint Ruins?
Qingfeng's expressions turned surprised, as he saw many of Earth's once glorious sects and groups inside Kunlun Palace's mysterious space.
The Sword Saint Sect was once one of Earth's most powerful sects, and many sword saint powers were part of it. With one slash of their swords, a powerful bolt of sword energy would shoot out a hundred thousand miles.
However, the Sword Saints had died in the ancient battle on Earth, and the sect completely collapsed.
Qingfeng looked around. The ruins he stood on once inhabited the Sword Saint Sect and were not far from the Kunlun Palace, but it was now in scattered pieces.
"I'm here for Uncle Nie," Qingfeng said as he pointed at the unconscious Wushuang.
The voice in the air paused, and then said, "Wushuang Nie is my chosen disciple, I can't let you have him."
Qingfeng froze when he heard the authoritative voice, and his expressions turned to joy.
He initially thought they planned to harm Wushuang Nie, but it turned out that they had their eyes on Wushuang's talented swordsmanship and wanted him for a disciple.
Qingfeng bowed and said with respect, "Thank you elder for choosing Uncle Nie, I entrust him to you."
Qingfeng looked at Wushuang Nie once more, and the group left the ruins. He didn't want to stay there for too long because, for some odd reasons, he felt that here were great hidden dangers.
In fact, Qingfeng's feelings were correct. There was an almighty demon trapped underneath Kunlun Palace by the Celestial Emperor a few thousands of years ago.
As the Celestial Emperor was killed in battle, the seal that trapped the ancient demon grew weaker day by day. He was already beginning to wake up, and small streams of demonic energy leaked out from beneath the earth, alerting Qingfeng.
If this almighty demon were to break free, it would bring great turbulent chaos to Earth.
"We should leave the forbidden Kunlun district now. My wife Xue Lin is still waiting for me, and so are Ruyan Liu and my baby." Qingfeng looked at the ruins one last time, and left.
However, only after a few steps, a powerful demonic beast appeared before Qingfeng.
It was a demonic snake again… For some unknown reason, Qingfeng always encounters snake-like demonic beasts.
However, this one was different from others. It was only a metre long, black all over, and its eyes had rays of black light.
Although the snake was only a metre long, Black Puppy's expressions changed and yelled, "Careful, it's the Sky-Devouring Snake, it can swallow anything and everything."
Sky-Devouring Snake?
Qingfeng's expressions changed as well when he heard Black Puppy. He learned a lot about ancient history through the Heavenly Immortal Chant in the Kunlun Palace, including information on the ancient demonic beasts.
The Sky-Devouring Snake was an ancient demonic beast with great power. The legend claimed that in ancient times, it could even swallow even the sky. Imagine how overpowered this Sky-Devouring Snake must be to be able to do that!
"Ssssh puppy, how are you not dead?" the Sky-Devouring Snake spat out its tongue as it said to Black Puppy.
Clearly, the Sky-Devouring Snake and Black Puppy knew each other.
"Little snake, how can I die when you haven't died yet," Black Puppy smiled as it said coldly.
The Sky-Devouring Snake was angered when Black Puppy called him 'little snake', it roared, "I'm the Sky-Devouring Snake, with an actual length of one thousand metres, how dare you call me little?"
Black Puppy pouted its lips, and nonchalantly said, "That was before! Now you're like a disabled grandpa from being beaten up, and are only a metre long. What do you want?"
The Sky-Devouring Snake's eyes grew cold as it said, "I've sensed the devourer bloodline on this human, and I want to eat him."
The snake wasn't talking about anyone else but Qingfeng; his blood enticed its thirst.
Black Puppy coldly laughed, "Little snake, I would advise against that, you're no match for him."
"Little dog, you used to rule the immortal realm, and there wasn't anything you couldn't do. When did you turn into such a coward and become afraid of a human?" The Sky-Devouring Snake despised Black Puppy as it said with disapproval.
Both the Sky-Devouring Snake and Black Puppy were ancient demonic beasts; they experienced the legendary ancient war, and battled alongside saints and immortals. However their powers had been crippled, only managing to barely survive.
Naturally, the snake didn't believe Black Puppy's words. It moved like a streak of black lightning, opened its black mouth and charged at Qingfeng.
The Sky-Devouring Snake might have been fast, but Qingfeng was faster. He reached out with two right fingers, pinched the snake's neck, and made it bite itself.
The Sky-Devouring Snake was shocked to see itself caught by Qingfeng. It didn't think that this youth would be so fast, and be able to grab its neck so quick.
"Little snake, weren't you so arrogant? Why are you in a human's hand right now?" Black Puppy mocked as its head tilted to one side.
Both Black Puppy and the Sky-Devouring Snake were ancient demonic beasts, but they were naturally born enemies who despised each other. Black Puppy was quite happy to see the snake in such a vulnerable state.
