Chapter 422: Great Net of Guixu


    What else is there to say? ording to Miss Magu, we need to use the blood of the red dragon to resolve the forbidden curse, so let us go and capture that red dragon, the Yushou ns head elder said with a smile before murderous intent shed across his eyes. If what my men discovered isnt wrong, that red dragon should currently be within the Hentian n, right? Heh, we the Yushou n wanted to see that true dragon since long ago, so isnt today the perfect chance? Let us go and pay the Hentian n a visit!


    The Fengtian ns head elder chuckled at this. Fellow Daoist Xiong, your men are not very up to date. That red dragon was indeed at the Hentian n, but I actually heard three days ago the Hentian n wanted to take the dragons soul to craft a powerful weapon, which angered the dragons owner. Its unknown how, but the owner managed to lure a powerful beast tide over to the Hentian n, and now the n has been more or lesspletely destroyed!


    Oh? Thats what happened? the Yushou head elder immediately asked; his information had indeed been out of date and he hadnt been aware of this. The area their n was most proficient in was controlling peril beasts, but to casually cause a beast tide to attack the central grounds of a n was something not even they could easily do, or else they would have ruled over the Guixu Ruins long ago. After hearing the Fengtian head elders words, the Yushou head elder actually took much greater interest in that red dragons owner and began throwing out questions one after another to try to find out how theyd managed to lure all the beasts like that.


    Even the Baiyue ns header elder Linglong was surprised and quickly started asking questions as well. A lone person had been able to destroy the entire Hentian n? Not even the Golden Core head elders could aplish such a feat!


    I only know this event has happened; I do not know how he did it. Fellow Daoist Xiong, Fellow Daoist Linglong, do you not feel somethings strange? The nine moons have begun to rise and Fellow Daoist Xunlong has shown herself, yet the Hentian narge n within the Guixu Ruinsdidnt show up? Heh, I imagine theyre trying to rebuild the formations surrounding their n to avoid being utterly annihted.


    The Fengtian and Hentian ns were not on good terms to begin with, and there was a trace of joy in the Fengtian head elders voice as he spoke. Unfortunately, the spies sent to infiltrate the Hentian n had experienced arge number of casualties during the beast tide and the Fengtian n was unable to determine the exact scope of the damage. If it werent for this and how the nine moons were beginning to rise and a trip to the Guixu Ruins was right in front of them, perhaps the Fengtian n would have already started preparing an attack on the Hentian n by now.


    In a way, it could be said the arrival of the Xunlong n had somewhat saved the Hentian n.


    What level of cultivation does the red dragons owner have? Head Elder Linglong asked with concern.


    Not highI heard hes only in Foundation Stage. The battle prowess of the red dragon is extraordinary, however, and an ordinary Golden Core is not its opponent at all! The Fengtian head elder replied with a deep tone despite his rather rxed expression.


    So hes just in Foundation Stage. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Theyd all been utterly shocked to hear the Hentian n had been nearly annihted, but they stopped worrying so much when they heard the owner was a mere Foundation Stage. Theyd been genuinely concerned it might have been some Budding Soul Stage cultivator whod barged into the Guixu Ruinsthat wouldve been something no one here could take on.


    Such scenarios had never urred before in all the history of the Guixu Ruins. Although it was incredibly rare for Budding Souls to be left in such a dire situation as to be forced into the Guixu Ruins, there had been a few in the past, and the grand ancestors of most ns had been Budding Souls. When people with such high cultivation levels came inside, their battle prowess would easily suppress everyone else and even ruling over an entire n wouldnt be a difficult matter at all. Regardless, most of these people would be focused on finding the Taishang treasures in the depths of the Guixu Ruins and theyd venture inside to seek them out, but the dangers within were simply too muchthere were no stories of sess, not even for Budding Souls.


    Theyd have to reconsider the price of angering the owner of the red dragon if he was in Budding Soul Stage, but if he was only in Foundation Stage.


    Heh. Head Elder Xiong of the Yushou n began to sneer. No matter what, this is a chance that cannot be seen in thousands of years, a chance for us to finally see the outside world. How could we let it go? Hurry and send men out to search for the owner of that red dragon. If he willingly listens to our kind words of advice and hands over the red dragon, whats wrong with giving him something in return? However, if he doesnt listen, I would really like to test out his abilities firsthand!


    Indeed, lets send men out to search. I doubt the owner of the red dragon isnt interested in the secrets of the Guixu Ruins Head Elder Linglong added.


    When everyone heard this, they all began to agree. The secrets of the Guixu Ruins were incredibly important, so how could they let this chance pass them by? Although the functionality of this red dragons blood was nothing more than a guess from the Xunlong n, they still wouldnt let go of this possibility. It was very difficult to return once they entered the depths of the Guixu Runs, so they had to capture this red dragon beforehand no matter what.


    When Magu heard everyones response, she suddenly spoke up with a soft voice. Esteemed seniors, Magu has one more thing to ask. Please, when you find the owner of that red dragon, do not harm his life. Magus wish to seek the secrets of the depths is for the sake ofpleting the dying wishes of her ancestors and seniors; Magu does not wish to harm any more lives. If that red dragons owner died because of Magu, it would be considered as Magus sin and there would be deep regret. Magu does not wish to cause any deaths!


    The cultivators were a bit surprised by this; they hadnt expected the Xunlong ns n master to have such a kind temperament. Head Elder Xiong of the Yushou n sneered however and replied, if this person knows his ce and hands over the red dragon, it is only natural we wouldnt make things difficult for him. If he refuses toply, however, heh, that would still be a sinmitted by us and would be unrted to Miss Magu. He clearly didnt put any value on the life of a Foundation Stage cultivator and didnt show much concern.


    It is still all caused by Magu. If Magu were tomit such a sin, Magu would rather not go to the depths of the Guixu Ruins.


    She unexpectedly changed her originally easy-going temperament and turned extremely stubborn on this particr matter, shocking the people here. This girl of the Xunlong n was the only one who could help them enter the ruins depths, and there might actually be greater risks if she wasnt satisfied now. All shed need to do is casually point in the wrong direction once inside and everyone would pay for it with their lives.


    Esteemed seniors, please beg pardon. Magu is not being unreasonable, it is simply that Magu has seen too much death of her nsmen while growing up; it terrifies her. Even after Magus father entered the depths of the ruins, Magu vowed that if she is able toplete the dying wish of the Xunlong n, shed be a vegetarian and never kill. This vow has been adhered to for the past forty years; how could Magu go back on her words when her fathers dying wish is about to bepleted?


    Magus persistence left the head elders feeling a littleplicated, and no one replied for quite some time. She let out a sigh and spoke in an even firmer voice, Magu knows this may be asking too much from everyone, but Magu hopes all esteemed seniors can nevertheless understand. How about this; if that red dragons owner is truly unwilling to give the red dragon, please still keep him alive. Capture him and bring him to Magu, and Magu will then invite him to seek treasures. If there is anything, the share for the Xunlong n would all be given to him, and it can be considered aspensation for his loss of the red dragon. Only this way would Magu be able to enter the depths without any worries.


    Hehe, Miss Magu is worried wed kill him without telling you, thus you want to see him, right? Although the manner in which Magu made her request was very well thought out, her intention was revealed by Head Elder Linglong all the same.


    Magu seemed a bit frightened as she bowed. For Magu to try going in circles in front of all esteemed seniors, it has been Magus rudeness!


    Head Elder Fangzheng of the Fengtian nughed. It is Miss Magus kind heart; there is no need for you to apologize. In fact, seeing you do not wish to kill gives us far greater peace of mind. To work together with such a kind miss would ensure the safety of the people on our side. Please rest assured; if the owner of the red dragon rebels, we shall simply capture him for you. For a mere Foundation Stage, neither killing nor capturing would take much effort regardless! he promised on everyones behalf, and no one spoke up against it.


    After a bit more discussion, Magu then exined that the path leading into the depths was very difficult. Flying was forbidden in many ces and required them to go by foot, so it would take at least one and a half months to get into the innermost depths. As for how long it would take for the nine moons, one redntern would rise every ten days, meaning it would take a total of eighty days for all eightnterns to join the moon in the sky.


    Factoring in everything, they had less than a month to find the red dragons owner. Feeling rushed, everyone sent letters back to their ns ordering them to put in all of their effort into the search, and dozens of shadows quickly flew off towards the horizon with the message to form a giant covering the Guixu Ruins in its entirety.


    Fang Xing had mixed himself in with these messengers and took the opportunity to flee with a dark expression.<em>Motherf*cker, you dont consider killing the big doggie as murder?</em>He didnt feel thankful towards the Xunlong n master for not wanting to kill him, and instead was filled with even more resentment and frustration instead.


    Fang Xing could faintly feel things had started getting out of hand. A single utterance from the Xunlong n master had already pushed both him and his big doggie to the tip of the de. All the ns had shown their desire to capture him, and now matter how vicious his big doggie was, how many could it actually kill if all their Golden Core cultivators got involved? Whats more, where could he flee to in such a damned ce as the Guixu Ruins?


    Even more importantly if this was truly the only chance in the past thousands of years to leave the Guixu Ruins, should he flee?


    Fang Xing was not someone who did things impulsively. He was someone who weighed the pros and cons beforeing to a definite decision, but this time he had to do something and he had to do it now. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he rushed towards where hed hidden the red dragon earlier; no matter what he decidedter, he first had to hide with the red dragon or else there might not be anywhere they could go once the was formed.


    When Fang Xing flew close to the valley hed hidden the red dragon, however, he nced up and was left dumbfounded. Above the valley where the red dragon had been hiding, three cultivators were staring nkly down towards the bottom. All three wore beast-hide robes with bare chests and although one was in early Golden Core Stage and the others were inte Foundation Stage, all three had vicious auras. One of them was even riding a fourth-tier peril bird whose wingspan was several dozens of feet wide.
