Dragon Tamer-Chapter 153 - 154: Revenge in the Ancestral Hall

Chapter 153: Chapter 154: Revenge in the Ancestral Hall

Translator: 549690339

It was indeed a coincidence.

Hao Shaocong and the others had all fled separately.

The majority of the banyan demon bees that had been startled originated from that banyan tree and were extremely numerous.

If these people had all run in the same direction, it would have been very difficult to shake off the banyan bees, as clearly the more banyan demon bees gathered, the higher the danger level became.

Zhu Minglang noticed that Hao Shaocong was planning to flee towards a dilapidated shrine overgrown with weeds, so he used the Ghostly Garment to move through the ruined city lanes and got to the shrine first to wait for him.

…

Dressed in black, Hao Shaocong rode a Leopard Dragon, trying hard to escape the pursuit of the banyan demon bees.

Fortunately, the banyan demon bees weren’t targeting him so after he had run a substantial distance, he noticed that there were hardly any pursuers left behind him, but now he was alone.

The shrine in front of him was still relatively clean—at least it hadn’t been occupied by any disgusting crawling creatures.

He walked through the vine-covered gate and entered the shrine, only to find a man standing at the entrance, a malicious smile on his face.

Hao Shaocong’s complexion changed immediately, paler even than when he had seen the swarm of banyan bees!

How could the other party have found him so quickly!

Hao Shaocong glanced behind him.

There wasn’t a single companion left—they had all been chased off by the banyan bees to different places.

“The scenery here is rather beautiful, if your father misses you later, he won’t get lost in the city of mechanisms, he can just come to this shrine to worship,” Zhu Minglang said to Hao Shaocong.

“Zhu Minglang, you’ve threatened me time and again. Our Hao family simply yields because your Zhu Gate has some influence in the Imperial City. Don’t think that I, Hao Shaocong, am really afraid of you!” Hao Shaocong tried his best to keep his composure as he spoke.

When it came to the cultivation level of a Dragon Shepherd, the man before him might not be stronger than him!

Moreover, the others should be rushing over to his location. If he could just stall for some time, it wasn’t clear who would be buried here!

“Whoosh”

It was like the wind passing through the hall.

Hao Shaocong instinctively turned his head, feeling as if something at his back was watching him.

But he couldn’t see anything.

Probably just a particularly persistent banyan demon bee.

Hao Shaocong held out his hand, activating the seal.

The purple Spirit Contract Seal was magnificently radiant, and a Horned Cang Dragon with a body covered in purple scales emerged from the Spirit Realm.

This Sheep Demon Purple Dragon differed from most Cang Dragons in its strong and powerful limbs, broad back, and bear-like waist, with some skull bones hanging on its body, looking wild and ferocious.

Only its head resembled that of a Cang Dragon; the rest of its body more closely resembled a demonic sheep, like the hellish demons described in some ancient texts of the church!

A combination of a Purple Dragon and a hell demon?

Such a rare species of beast wasn’t often seen, and it was unclear whether it was born this way or had transformed into this form. In any case, a layer of Hellfire would occasionally ignite among the purple scales covering its body!

Hao Shaocong was a Purple Sect disciple.

Seeing a Purple Dragon with him, Zhu Minglang wasn’t surprised.

However, this Sheep Demon Purple Dragon did look quite unnerving.

And moreover, as far as Zhu Minglang knew, Zhu Tong had died at the hands of this monster, ripped into several pieces by the Sheep Demon Purple Dragon.

“If you want to kill me, you’ll need to show some skill!” The fear on Hao Shaocong’s face disappeared.

Initially, Hao Shaocong thought it would be several strong members of the Zhu Gate appearing here, as Zhu Gate had been acting extremely arrogantly in recent years, so how could it not have cultivated some outstanding disciples.

Seeing Zhu Minglang, Hao Shaocong thought he had been ambushed.

But up to this point, he hadn’t seen anyone other than Zhu Minglang.

It seemed then that Zhu Minglang was overestimating himself!

“My Sheep Demon Purple Dragon is of an upper Lord Level. What can you, Zhu Minglang, use to kill me? Even if someone is on top of the city’s tower, they can’t see inside this shrine. I will kill you, Zhu Minglang, right here and what can the entire Zhu Gate do to me!” Hao Shaocong gradually started to sneer.

He was laughing.

The Sheep Demon Purple Dragon was also laughing, grinning like a true demon, eagerly anticipating the sensation of tearing living beings apart.

“I still have questions for you, so you should be able to live a little longer,” Zhu Minglang said.

“You’re far too full of yourself. Without your Sword Cultivator, you’re nothing but a piece of”

Hao Shaocong’s words “worthless trash” had yet to be fully uttered when he heard that wind-like sound for the second time; it passed by his ear.

There was indeed a wind, which blew so coldly against his neck.

Out of the corner of his eye, Hao Shaocong caught a glimpse of a fierce crimson glow, swiftly slicing across the neck of his Sheep Demon Purple Dragon.

The Sheep Demon Purple Dragon was moving towards Zhu Minglang, its draconic face still looking somewhat fierce.

But that fierce face rolled off the Sheep Demon’s body in the next moment, then thudded heavily onto the ground.

“Pffft”

Blood sprayed forth like a fountain, reaching three to four meters high, splattering onto the eaves enveloped by the shrine’s vines.

Hao Shaocong simply couldn’t believe his eyes.

His Sheep Demon Purple Dragon had become a headless thing, standing just meters away from him, with hot blood pouring down, soaking Hao Shaocong completely and staining him completely red!!

“Whoosh”

That wind-like sound resounded once again.

Hao Shaocong’s face was covered in blood and horror, and at this moment, he finally saw what had cut off the head of his Sheep Demon Purple Dragon!

A sword!

Fierce crimson body!

Bearing the traces of years, yet it did not affect its sharp edge in the least!

This sword, it seemed alive.

It just floated in front of Zhu Minglang, without the need for Zhu Minglang to hold it, nor for Zhu Minglang to control it with any thought. The sword emitted an aura that made people tremble immensely!

His own Sheep Demon Purple Dragon

A high Lord-level Dragon, so powerful that it could sweep through the disciples of various major forces!

And according to their understanding, Zhu Minglang’s Dragon Shepherd strength was only at this level!

Why would such a sword appear that could kill creatures of the high Lord-level as if slaughtering pigs and sheep for sacrifice!

“Your Sword Cultivator, your Sword Cultivator” Hao Shaocong was speaking incoherently, his finger pointing at Zhu Minglang, yet he seemed to have seen the Soul Hooker Ghost Department.

He kept backing away, wanting to flee from this blood-stenched sacrificial hall.

But Hao Shaocong couldn’t move.

His legs were left with nothing but frantic trembling.

“You should fear me, Zhu Minglang, the person, not my cultivation.” Zhu Minglang stepped forward, standing in front of this blood-soaked young man.

“I I’m just a hitman, just a hitman. It was Zhao Yin Ge who proposed, whoever kills Zhu Tong, would get the Soul Bead that everyone chipped in to buy. I have no grudge against Zhu Tong, and the ones who want Zhu Tong dead are Zhao Xi and Zhao Yin Ge!” Hao Shaocong could no longer stand firm, and he knelt on the ground.

“Do you think I wouldn’t know about these?” Zhu Minglang said with a cold laugh.

“Zhu Zhu Minglang, I can tell you a secret, spare my life. Hands and feet, you can chop off my hands and feet, I deserve it, but please spare my life no matter what!” Hao Shaocong knelt on the ground and began to kowtow repeatedly.

That day in front of the spirit hall, facing the deceased, he hadn’t been as sincere as he was at this very moment, with the sound of his forehead striking the ground clearly audible.

“Let’s hear it.” Zhu Minglang smiled.

“The Li Chuan Continent, the territory your Zhu Gate seeks to hold dominion over, its written charter of dominion is also in this city of mechanisms!” Hao Shaocong hurriedly said, fearing that the sword might also sweep over his own head.

“Are you kidding me?” Zhu Minglang’s gaze grew colder.

The Li Chuan Continent was the main territory for this competition, supposedly to be awarded as a prize to the last victorious power.

This, his father had already made very clear to him.

“How dare I. Within the Royal Family, a significant figure has colluded with several major powers to suppress your father, to force him to deliberately cause trouble. I was also once drunk in Zhao Yin Ge when I heard him let it slip.” Hao Shaocong said.

Zhu Minglang frowned.

If the charter for the dominion of Li Chuan Continent was indeed in this city of mechanisms, and they had not informed Zhu Heavenly Officer.

Then it was outright contempt for Zhu Gate.

If it were the status of Zhu Gate in the past, the last of the Six Great Clans.

Faced with such arbitrary actions by the Royal Family and major powers, most could only endure in silence.

It just so happened that Zhu Gate’s status had now nearly reached the top of the clans, and faced with such a situation, Zhu Heavenly Officer would certainly not let things rest!

Were they deliberately provoking Zhu Heavenly Officer??

Had they already set some sort of elaborate trap, waiting for Zhu Heavenly Officer to walk right into?

Zhu Minglang remembered the day he returned to Zhu Gate, Zhu Heavenly Officer told him that their killing Zhu Tong was likely also to deliberately provoke him, to force him to break the rules.

“Where is the charter for the dominion of Li Chuan Continent?” Zhu Minglang demanded.

“You don’t kill me, I’ll tell you. What I said is absolutely true!” Hao Shaocong said.

“According to what you said, I’ll only chop off your limbs.” Zhu Minglang said.

Hao Shaocong looked at Zhu Minglang, hesitated for a while, as if wanting to negotiate further.

But soon Hao Shaocong dismissed the idea.

Being alive was enough.

“It’s in the Nine Army Cemetery. The valuable spiritual assets of the Purple Sect, the Martial Sect, the Sword Sect, the Royal Family, the Pu Clan, Li Men, the Ancient Dragon Palace, the Azure Dragon Palace they are all near the Nine Army Cemetery, and they all more or less know about this, that significant figure deliberately revealed it to them.” Hao Shaocong continued.

There was obvious collusion among the major powers, and their disciples most likely knew that there were treasures in certain areas of the city of mechanisms, and would instruct their disciples to go there.

Similarly, Qin Yang also knew part of the information.

But she did not know that the charter of dominion over Li Chuan Continent was also in this city of mechanisms.

If what Hao Shaocong said was true.

Zhu Gate had leapt from the last of the clans to the head of Zhu Gate, yet too many powers were unwilling to accept this, wanting to ruthlessly push Zhu Gate back down!

The support had not been firmly established yet.

Even the Royal Family was reluctant to see Zhu Gate grow stronger

Exactly what traps and conspiracies were waiting for Zhu Heavenly Officer, Zhu Minglang had no way of knowing.

But right now, the charter for the dominion of Li Chuan Continent must not fall into the hands of another power no matter what!

Zhu Minglang walked towards the entrance of the sacrificial hall.

On his white clothes, not a single spot of blood had stained them.

From within the sacrificial hall, the screams of Hao Shaocong rang out, utterly pitiful and shrill.

And he screamed four whole times!

Being able to scream meant he was still alive.

Zhu Minglang had promised him, after all, only to cut off his limbs

But those Banyan demon bees around them, they had not made such a promise.

As for the man inside the sacrificial hall, with no hands and no feet, what his face looked like when he saw a swarm of Banyan demon bees flying towards the scent of blood, Zhu Minglang did not bother to care about.

After all, the most important thing in life is to keep your word!
