Chapter 176 - Do You Want The Tianxia Map? (1/2)
The Huangquan Twin Devils were looking for the Tianxia Map?
Zhou Xuanji frowned. So, Haoqi Alliance was not the only one who knew about the whereabouts of the map.
Well, it was expected. If Haoqi Alliance found out that the information was with Chen Bantian, it shouldn’t have been surprising that other parties had obtained the information as well.
Now, it was much more troublesome.
He had to snatch the map from three horrifyingly powerful cultivators who were ranked in the Northern Wilderness’ Top Hundred?
How would one play like that?
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He slammed his fist into the ground, leaving a small crater behind.
“Don’t move. They are coming! Hold your breath and concentrate on minimizing your Qi-signature!”
Qin Gang cried out softly. Having heard him, Zhou Xuanji immediately activated the Qi Obscuring Incantation.
The pitch dark cave fell totally silent.
Booooom–
The mountain began vibrating violently as though it was going to collapse at any moment.
The two of them were extremely anxious and both broke out into a cold sweat.
“Where did that guy and the Thousand-hands Devil run?”
A cold and hoarse voice came, which made their scalps numb.
“Look further ahead. If they can break the Ancient Soul-Cryostasis Array, they must have some extraordinary treasures with them. Let’s suck their soul and plunder their treasure!”
Another strange laugh came. They could sense his ruthlessness just from his tone.
Soon, the voices of the Hades Twin Devil disappeared. The mountain had also stopped vibrating.
Both Zhou Xuanji and Qing Gang were still holding their breaths and maintaining their concentration.
The two were very careful, in case they were to fall for the Huangquan Twin Devils’ schemes.
Six hours later, Qin Gang quietly heaved a sigh of relief and said softly, “We should be safe now.”
Zhou Xuanji asked softly, “They are both devils, so why does the Thousand-hands Devil fear the Huangquan Twin Devils so much?”
Qin Gang: “…”
This question made him speechless.
“Tell me about them, including how they tortured the revered teacher of Great Zhou’s Sword Monarch.”
Zhou Xuanji requested. He always had a special feeling for the Sword Monarch.
It was his duel with the Sword Monarch that made him truly famous across the world.
But back then, the Sword Monarch wanted to save his face, so he did not use his full power. After Zhou Xuanji injured the Sword monarch, he got the Sword Monarch to back off with his words, before he quickly ran away.
Since then, the Sword Monarch had become his standard to measure someone’s prowess.
If someone was more powerful than the Sword Monarch, that person was really powerful.
If that person was weaker than the Sword Monarch, then that person wasn’t that powerful.
Zhou Xuanji’s love for the Sword Monarch was deep, so he decided that he had to defeat the Sword Monarch officially in the future and pull him down from his divine pedestal.
“The Huangquan Twin Devils came to fame a long time ago. They weren’t the Hell Drake King’s subordinates until he defeated and recruited them. Since then, they changed their name to Huangquan, and specialized in gathering information and carrying out assassinations for the Drake King.”
“They assassinated the previous Emperor of Great Zhou. At that time, the revered teacher of Great Zhou’s Sword Monarch brought the Sword Monarch to Great Zhou to help out, but they were defeated by the Twin Devils instead. They did not immediately kill Sword Monarch’s revered teacher but took their time to scrap the flesh off him for a whole week before he finally bled to death. Then, the Twin Devils sucked his soul away.”
Up till now, Qin Gang’s tone was still calm.
Although Huangquan Twin Devils were ruthless, it was nothing much for him.
After all, he was the Thousand-hands Devil.
“If Huangquan Twin Devils work together, even the Wanzang King Specter might not stand up to them. We must find the Suzerain quickly and help her recover.”
Qin Gang said with a deep voice. After that, he walked toward the entrance of the cave.
Zhou Xuanji sighed.
If he had known this, he wouldn’t have come in.
He could still try out the Wanzang King Specter, but now that there were the Huangquan Twin Devils, there would be no way.
“They are already far away. Come with me quickly!”
Qin Gang waved his hand at the entrance, and Zhou Xuanji immediately followed.
The two left swiftly.
Next, they moved carefully because they were afraid to encounter the Huangquan Twin Devils.
According to what Qin Gang said, they would rather encounter Wanzang King Specter than Huangquan Twin Devils.
Although the consequence of encountering the former would also be death, at least it would not be a painful death.
Half a day later, they finally came to the cave that Xian Xianghua was in.
