Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 782: Demonic Spirit
"Pup! Don’t cry anymore. This underground palace is nothing but bones and that black giant, with no significant cultivation resources, let alone any inheritances. Your greatest fortune is managing to save your own life..." the Big Black Cat said with a chuckle.
The Big Black Dog stood up from the ground and wiped away his tears. With a glint in his eyes, he chuckled, "Alright, Cat Brother makes sense. We didn’t get anything valuable this time because of bad luck, but next time, we’ll score big!"
"Score big?"
The Big Black Cat’s eyes widened. Is this kid trying to drag me into this too? Where would I find the time? My cultivation resources are top-notch now; I lack nothing. Why on earth would I go tomb raiding with the Big Black Dog again? Only someone who’s lost their mind would agree!
"Someone’s coming."
Nearby, Su Wanyi looked up at the sky, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Someone’s coming?
Alarm bells rang in the Big Black Cat’s mind, and he immediately looked up.
In the distance, a black dot suddenly enlarged.
It was a Golden Mouth Black Hawk, its body colossal, a full hundred zhang in size, emanating an aura of the Fourth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm.
Standing atop the Black Hawk’s head...
Were two middle-aged men, facing the wind.
The two wore identical blue Daoist robes, their heads lowered, looking towards Wanshou Mountain Valley.
"Senior Brother, what an unexpected delight! Not only is the Demonic Divine Dog here, but the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat is as well..." a square-faced man said with a smile, spreading his hands.
"Haha, our luck is pretty good! The Demonic Divine Dog and the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat were once partners, both skilled in raiding ancient tombs and notorious for plundering resources everywhere!" the other man, who had a round face, laughed heartily.
These two men had cultivation bases at the Sixth Level of the Life and Death Realm.
Within the Plough Heaven Dynasty, such cultivation bases ranked them among the top-tier powerhouses.
Although the two men spoke softly, the Big Black Cat and the Big Black Dog, with their exceptionally keen hearing, still heard them.
The Big Black Dog’s eyes darted around, and he retreated a step. "Cat Brother, what do these two mean? Are they your enemies?"
"Nonsense! I’ve only raided tombs a few times. You’re the one who’s done it more. They must be here to settle scores with you!" the Big Black Cat huffed, his gaze turning icy. "Pup, did you dig up someone’s ancestral grave?"
"No!" the Big Black Dog replied innocently.
"Didn’t you hide in the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect precisely to avoid your enemies?" the Big Black Cat retorted coldly.
"I did take refuge to avoid enemies, but these two look unfamiliar. They shouldn’t have anything to do with me. They’re probably looking for you, Cat Brother!" the Big Black Dog said, shrugging with a smirk.
"To hell with you! I, your Cat Brother, act with integrity and have no enemies at all..." the Big Black Cat declared proudly, patting his chest.
There was an unspoken part to his thoughts: even if he did have enemies, would they dare seek revenge? The Dragon God Sect was the most powerful sect on the Cangnan Continent. So-called Heaven Level Sects and Eternal Level Sects were like newborn infants before it. There was simply no comparison.
The Black Hawk halted abruptly in mid-air.
The square-faced man’s deep eyes flickered as he seemed to gaze in a specific direction.
「After a moment.」
"Haha, Senior Brother! We’ve truly struck gold this time! Look, in the main hall of the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect, isn’t that a Sky-boring Rat?" the square-faced man exclaimed, a mix of surprise and delight in his voice.
"A Sky-boring Rat is there too?" the round-faced man exclaimed in surprise, immediately looking towards the main hall.
Sure enough. A shifty-eyed young man was also standing there.
"Haha, finding three at once really saves us a lot of trouble!" the round-faced man burst out laughing.
Hearing the conversation between the two men in the air, the Big Black Cat and the Big Black Dog looked at each other.
"Cat Brother, what do these two want with the three of us?" the Big Black Dog asked, feeling a little guilty.
"How would I know? Judging by their looks, they don’t seem to have good intentions..." the Big Black Cat’s expression darkened.
The Big Black Dog looked at Su Wanyi and pleaded, "Miss, these two guys have high cultivation bases. If they try to attack us, you absolutely must help us..."
"Mm!" Su Wanyi smiled faintly. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Her so-called intervention was merely a bluff; the real strength would have to come from the Old Ancestor.
"Halt! Demonic Spirit arrives at the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect! Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, Sky-boring Rat, Demonic Divine Dog—you demons, step forward at once!"
The round-faced man’s expression grew solemn as he reverently held up a Bronze Token and shouted.
Demonic Spirit?
The Big Black Dog and the Big Black Cat exchanged a glance, a storm raging in their hearts.
Demonic Spirit was an extremely mysterious Demon Clan organization that had risen in the last ten thousand years. It started from humble beginnings and had now grown into a super organization.
The Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect of the Plough Heaven Dynasty, though a Super Sect, was only medium-grade.
Demonic Spirit, however, was considered a superior-grade Super Sect.
Demonic Spirit outranked the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Sect by an entire level.
"Demonic Spirit isn’t even based in the Plough Heaven Dynasty. Why are they looking for us?" the Big Black Cat frowned, not moving.
"Cat Brother, Demonic Spirit is a Wushang organization of our Demon Clan. It has immense authority to mobilize any Demon Clan member. We should just comply..." the Big Black Dog said, his heart pounding, and he cautiously shuffled forward a couple of steps.
「In the main hall.」
The Sky-boring Rat jumped in fright upon hearing the name Demonic Spirit.
However, seeing the Big Black Cat remain still, he also stayed put.
"Little Mouse, that name ’Demonic Spirit’ sounds rather odd!" the Immortal Divine Silkworm asked with a laugh.
"It is a bit odd, but Demonic Spirit is currently at its zenith. Perhaps in a few thousand years, it could even be promoted to a Supreme Super Sect. It’s a very powerful organization, highly renowned within our Demon Clan..." the Sky-boring Rat stated frankly.
"Let’s observe for now and see what their objective is..." the Immortal Divine Silkworm said with a smile.
The Sky-boring Rat nodded.
"Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, Sky-boring Rat, and Demonic Divine Dog, did you not hear me?" the round-faced man’s face darkened as he questioned loudly. "Does my Demon God Order from Demonic Spirit not have the power to mobilize you little things at the Life and Death Realm?"
"Cat Brother, they’ve produced the Demon God Order! We can’t afford to offend them. In my opinion, let’s step forward first and see what they want..." the Big Black Dog sighed, quickly sending a mental voice message.
The Big Black Cat remained silent. He was a disciple of the Dragon God Sect, after all. What could Demonic Spirit possibly do to him?
Su Wanyi watched everything calmly, making no move.
「Meanwhile, in her mind.」
Ye Yun was laughing. This name, Demonic Spirit, he found it quite amusing.
Ye Yun looked at the two middle-aged men atop the Black Hawk with curiosity. Why would an organization as formidable as Demonic Spirit seek out these three unreliable fellows? If they were truly enemies, a battle would have erupted upon meeting. Why bother using the Demon God Order to summon the three of them to step forward?
Little black boy, you should go along with what they say for now... Ye Yun thought for a moment, then suddenly sent a mental voice message.
The Master wants me to step forward? What does this mean?
The Big Black Cat was momentarily stunned. However, despite his confusion, he quickly composed himself.
He took a few steps forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Big Black Dog.
"Cat Brother, why did you move?"
In the main hall, the Sky-boring Rat was shocked to see this.
The Immortal Divine Silkworm, perceiving something, said softly, "Aren’t you going quickly?"
"Yes!" The Sky-boring Rat nodded, transformed into a streak of yellow light, and flew over swiftly.
"Cat Brother, I’m here too!" he said, landing beside the Big Black Cat.
The Big Black Cat nodded.
"Seniors from Demonic Spirit," the Big Black Cat began, looking up at the sky and cupping his fists. "May I ask why you have sought out us three brothers?"
"You three are skilled at plundering resources everywhere, and you’ve frequently excavated ancient tombs, correct?" the round-faced man asked with a smile.
"Yes!" the Big Black Cat nodded, his expression growing even calmer.
Now that the Master was observing, he had to at least ascertain Demonic Spirit’s intentions clearly.
