Chapter 1014: Chapter 982: Dark Demon Flood Dragon

Regarding Li Kahe’s words, Lu Ping had anticipated this to some extent. By outlining his selection criteria so openly, the other party would definitely inquire further.

Lu Ping said, "Go ahead."

Li Kahe earnestly asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you intend to do with this information? Could you reveal a bit?"

Anticipating such a question, Lu Ping had no reason to hide the truth and replied, "Gathering this intelligence is naturally for slaying demons."

Upon hearing this, Li Kahe couldn’t help but gasp.

"Slaying a Tier Six Demon Beast!"

The elder beside him was also taken aback; it was exactly as they had suspected.

Both couldn’t help but show an expression of admiration.

"Senior, I will provide the information right away."

Li Kahe immediately changed his address, lowering his status and referring to himself as a junior, fully trusting in Lu Ping’s strength.

Because even if Lu Ping was not a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch, to come seeking this information with the intent of slaying a Tier Six Demon Beast, he must surely be acquainted with one.

Having such connections, it was no simple matter, and not something the Profound Yang Sect could afford to provoke.

Li Kahe took out three jade scrolls he carried with him and presented them to Lu Ping.

"All the intelligence Senior wants is in these three jade scrolls, please review them."

Lu Ping took the jade scrolls and infused them with his divine sense, beginning to read the information within.

All three jade scrolls were Tier Two grade, capable of recording images, even smells, and sounds.

In the first jade scroll, as Lu Ping’s divine sense scanned it, an image of a sea scene appeared, where a huge black shadow was stirring up waves.

Looking closely, it was a giant deep-sea octopus, measuring a thousand feet in size, entirely black with eight thick tentacles.

A large amount of information flowed into Lu Ping’s mind at this moment.

Tier Six Lower Grade Demon Beast, deep-sea octopus, second-layer Divinity Transformation, a massive creature in the water, skilled in countering fire attribute cultivators, moves extremely fast in the sea, difficult to penetrate its skin without a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure or higher Supreme Treasure.

This demon beast has many followers. By some estimates, it commands as many as 100,000 underling beasts, including one Nascent Soul demon beast and sixteen Golden Core Stage ones.

With this, Lu Ping began to view the second jade scroll and its disclosures.

There were also images provided, depicting a golden-haired lion occupying a sea island, surrounded by various demon beasts in worship, each prostrated on the ground.

Golden Lion, second-layer Divinity Transformation, born as a terrestrial king, dominates a sea area of three million miles in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, an adversary of the deep-sea octopus.

This terrestrial demon beast was slightly easier to handle than the great oceanic demon, piquing Lu Ping’s interest.

Viewing the third jade scroll, again an island scene unfolded, showcasing a large dark black flood dragon swimming in a vast lake, devouring surrounding demon beasts.

Dark Demon Flood Dragon, first-layer Divinity Transformation, a demon beast that recently advanced to the Divinity Transformation stage in the past twenty years, originally from the Profound Shark Sea but driven out by merfolk experts, now resides in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars.

Having reviewed the three Tier Six demon beasts, Lu Ping couldn’t help but ponder.

These three Tier Six demon beasts indeed matched the expected strength, with none exceeding the third layer of Divinity Transformation.

One in the sea and two on islands, Lu Ping couldn’t help but deliberate on how to decide.

Seeing Lu Ping finish reading the three jade scrolls and fall into thoughtful silence, Li Kahe didn’t dare disturb him and could only wait patiently for Lu Ping to initiate the conversation.

Li Kahe was very curious about what reaction Lu Ping would have next.

Would he choose one of the demon beasts to eliminate from the information in the jade scrolls or simply keep it in mind for now without responding?

As to who would ultimately undertake the clearing, this was a key point of focus for Hongfu Commerce.

They didn’t wait long before Lu Ping provided his response.

"Are these three pieces of information all accurate, and the latest updates?"

"Absolutely, absolutely."

Hearing Lu Ping speak, Li Kahe promptly nodded in agreement.

"The intelligence we provide from our Commerce Association is the latest; any change concerning the target demon beasts is updated immediately without any omission, ensuring the information is accurate so as not to mislead fellow Daoists."

In terms of intelligence gathering, Hongfu Commerce deploys a large number of personnel for this task.

The Profound Yang Sect also issues corresponding sect missions to cooperate with Hongfu, along with six other major commerce bodies in joint efforts.

In short, the intelligence is almost without error.

If there is any change in the strength of a target demon beast or it relocates its habitat, it will be corrected at once.

After confirming the accuracy of the intelligence, Lu Ping nodded slightly.

"Do you have a target in mind, or if none of these suits, I have a few more, but those demon beasts are stronger by one or two small realms."

Li Kahe added, "Not hiding anything from Senior, within the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, there are limited Tier Six demon beasts, numbering only seven."

Demon beasts of the Divinity Transformation Stage level are very rare and the major foes of the Human Race in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars.

The movements of each are closely watched by many parties.

"Let me have a look."

Lu Ping said.

"Alright."

Li Kahe nodded with a smile, then respectfully handed over four more jade scrolls from his storage ring to Lu Ping.

As Lu Ping reviewed them one by one, he found that the demon beasts recorded in the four jade scrolls all had a strength of at least third-layer of Divinity Transformation.

The strongest even reached the sixth layer of Divinity Transformation.

The strength of these demon beasts obviously exceeded the scope of Lu Ping’s confrontation, and it was not safe to rashly engage them, lest he endangers himself.

In the end, Lu Ping selected the Dark Demon Flood Dragon; the flood dragon was at first-layer Divinity Transformation, suitable for a trial encounter.

Moreover, flood dragon skin is an excellent refining material, entirely sufficient for refining the Infinite Celestial Fire Map.

Having chosen a target, Lu Ping requested a copy.

Li Kahe listened, seriously stating, "Senior, this Dark Demon Flood Dragon has wreaked havoc in our Sea of Ten Thousand Stars for a long time, having claimed countless lives of fellow Daoists."

"Over the past hundred years, the tidal calamities around the Red Rock Islands have all been stirred up by this flood dragon, committing endless evil deeds, causing great suffering to the local populace and cultivators."

"Such a great demon is in need of purging, and if Senior can proceed to slay it, it truly would be a blessing for us."

"There’s no need to duplicate; please take this jade scroll directly, as we have backups."

Li Kahe continued to explain while Lu Ping listened generally. Once reaching Tier Six, demon beasts can already transform, capable of mingling and living among the Human Race.

Yet, this Dark Demon Flood Dragon chose not to, instead occupying a Spirit Island, living there, certainly gathering a considerable number of subordinates, hinting at intentions of self-establishment as a king.

Within the practices of the Human Race, this equates to establishing a sect.
