Twilight Boundary-Chapter 830 - 809: Three-headed Jiao Demon King

"Two hundred years have passed, how fast has one's abilities grown?"

"However, it was because he was cautious, first fearing Zhensui Mansion, then dreading the Ten Surnames, always hiding and not letting others know, naturally, he never had the opportunity to seek Sealing."

"Without Sealing, other demon kinds would stagnate here, but not him. Relying on eating Tai Sui, growing cultivation, gradually gaining Divine Skills. According to the fellow Companion who detected his presence, this Old Flood Dragon, is at least at a Non-human level."

"..."

"This indeed can be called a heavenly anomaly."

Hu Ma listened and nodded, saying, "Since he has always been so careful, why has he come out to cause chaos now?"

"Moreover, among thousands of choices, he chose Mingzhou near Old Yin Mountain?"

"..."

Mingzhou is one's Sacrificial Mountain, activating new gods, and is now the place with the heaviest incense offerings in the world. Other evil spirits avoid it, yet he dares to send demon people from Niang'er Sect to cause trouble, truly daring to the extreme.

"Perhaps he feels his destiny has arrived."

Calculation shook his head, saying, "In the past, this ghostly creature was terrifyingly cautious, anyone who detected his presence was eaten by him."

"But thirty years ago, when Douyi perished, he relied on the path of reincarnation, burrowing into a farmer woman's belly, thus being born into the human world. This demon's method of transforming into form is not inferior to Sealing, but unfortunately, being an anomaly at the root, reincarnation still doesn't change that."

"Now, borrowing the human form, he deceives the people, gathers incense, raises an army to seal himself as king. We guess he has realized the reappearance of destiny and wants to raise an army to seize it."

"If successful, he can self-seal, becoming a legitimate kind of this world."

"With such a mind and full abilities, unleashed repressed anger of a lifetime, now erupted, more fiercely than others."

"However, regarding cultivation, he is only thirty years old now, but counting his years as Flood Dragon, it's five hundred years, claiming a millennium of cultivation, merely flattering himself."

"..."

"Frankly, he is the greatest demon I have ever seen in my life."

Hu Ma, interested, said, "But since even the Ten Surnames haven't noticed him, how do you know so clearly?"

Calculation laughed, saying, "Daluo Dharma Sect disciples have only one duty, which is to travel the world, watch for destiny, staying at the side of those heavy with fate. Some matters are seen more thoroughly than the Ten Surnames."

"Of course, even Daluo Dharma Sect can't guarantee seeing everything clearly. Perhaps there are those heavy with fate but skilled at hiding, living carefree, not interacting with us."

"..."

Hu Ma asked no more, just smiled, "Since that's the case, let's first observe this so-called millennium cultivation!"

On the surface, it's Yang Gong leading troops to fight the traitor, but in reality, it's Hu Ma to strike down the grasshead king, seize destiny, and refine the Treasure Seal. So Hu Ma doesn't procrastinate, nor needs to follow the Food Protection Army with fanfare, bringing only Calculation, secretly coming to Huzhou to investigate.

To put it plainly, it's to seize destiny, refine the Treasure Seal, which incurs additional trouble.

If merely killing the grasshead king were enough to refine the seal, Hu Ma would have personally assassinated him by now, but destiny is transformed from human wills.

Killing the grasshead king, the destiny remains, and another local grasshead king would emerge. Even if killing until no one dares claim to be grasshead king, the destiny would disperse, not be seized. Hence it must be upright and honorable.

After some investigation, he's somewhat understood Huzhou.

In the Food Protection Army, recently facing difficulties.

About to issue a campaign against the rebels, settled in Huzhou, the Food Protection Army naturally began to prepare.

Grain, weapons, horses, armor, yet besides these, they need to craft warships.

Huzhou is unique, surrounded by water on three sides, with paths at both ends, and the soldiers, magicians under the Three-headed Jiao King adept in sinister water magic.

If the Food Protection Army progresses by land, enemies could emerge from either side of the waters, potentially cutting their large army in half, unable to aid each other, or if opponents retreat into water, it remains difficult to pursue.

Thus, ships must be ready before deployment.

However, this point makes the Food Protection Army face difficulty before setting out.

No-eating Demon People, with various talents, shipbuilding can't be an issue, the difficulty lies in launching.

The water is malign.

No-eating Demon People led the manufacturing unit, crafting numerous ships overnight, but upon attempting to launch, they suddenly discovered that the surrounding rivers and lakes are full of evil, a perfectly good ship capsized by waves upon entering the water.

Some swimmers attempted to dive, but mysteriously disappeared as soon as they entered water, when salvaged, blue handprints covered their calves.

Even the scouts of the Food Protection Army, traveling by land to gather terrain intel, also lost contact upon entering Huzhou.

Now realizing, that these three-headed old Flood Dragon's abilities aren't small, not only occupying a thousand miles of water, but also fortifying surrounding villages into solid defenses.

Inside and outside, either occupied by his Jiao Army or his nurtured Niang'er Sect followers, despite the Food Protection Army's large might, troops, in merely entering Huzhou, they're facing difficulties.
