Chapter 591: Chapter 458: Exploration
Elder Huang’s strength was beyond everyone’s expectations. Standing his ground against four opponents without faltering, it was difficult for Wang Hao to link him with the figure that was swallowed by a giant python in the water previously. Yet, the epic battle before him served as a reminder that this was reality.
Sight of Elder Huang piercing a giant python’s eye with his long sword and sacrificing his master’s gold ring to summon a Treasure Tower that suppressed another python left Wang Hao wide-eyed.
’Elder Huang is actually this strong! I never noticed before!’
Master Hee Qiang seemed to realize Elder Huang was hard to deal with and was compelled to speak again: "Old Huang, I’m giving you one last chance. If you leave now, I can act like today’s events never happened!"
Never happened?
Elder Huang sneered: "Hee Qiang, we’ve been together for decades. You think I don’t know what kind of person you are? Are you treating me like a fool by saying that? Besides, my Iron Sword Sect is ready to approach Mangcang Mountain. Do you really think your words can just erase everything?"
"Then what do you want!"
"Open this Secret Realm for me."
"For you?"
"Of course, for me!" Elder Huang gazed at the surrounding wilderness, his eyes finally showing a hint of greed: "Sect Leader, you know my demands aren’t high. The position of cultivators like you and me in the Iron Sword Sect is clear. If you sincerely open the Moon Lake Secret Realm for me to share, I can also keep this Secret Realm hidden from our Sect, as resources for you and me to reach the True Self Realm!"
Hee Qiang remained silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Rather than having the entire Secret Realm handed over to Iron Sword Sect under Elder Huang’s betrayal, sharing the Secret Realm with Elder Huang seemed acceptable.
And Elder Huang, seeing Hee Qiang’s interest, quickly added:
"Sect Leader, after decades together, you know what kind of person I am. Had this Sect not come imposing with no time for me to plan, I wouldn’t be making this risky choice. In the end, all cultivators seek longevity. If this Secret Realm allows us to share, I won’t surrender its secret to Iron Sword Sect. It’s not the worst outcome for both of us!"
Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Hee Zhen, who was suppressed by the Treasure Tower, suddenly spoke:
"Father, no need to waste words with him!"
As the words fell, before Elder Huang could react, countless black serpents suddenly emerged from the earth, fearlessly shooting at Elder Huang like sharp swords!
Simultaneously, Hee Qiang, receiving the signal, laughed loudly, once more casting his golden ring at Hee Qiang.
"Capture!"
Elder Huang’s eyes widened. Faced with sudden turmoil, his countenance turned fierce, and Sword Qi from his long sword continuously slashed at the advancing serpents. But how could he manage everything!
With a loud bang.
Elder Huang was finally hit by the ring hidden among the serpent swarm and, enveloped by innumerable serpents, was thrown into the water area where Wang Hao was.
"Get out!"
Despite being surrounded by serpents, Elder Huang surprisingly still had strength left! His Taoist robe in mid-air suddenly expanded, transforming into a ten-foot giant cloth, wrapping around the attacking serpents. Taking this chance, Elder Huang dashed towards the water where he came from.
He wants to flee!
But..... Wang Hao is still here!
Seeing Elder Huang flying towards him, Wang Hao couldn’t bother with anything else now and plunged headlong underwater, his whole body diving downwards.
’Is this a snake den? How did I not know there are so many pythons on Mangcang Mountain before!’
At this moment, Wang Hao’s scalp tingled.
Those black serpents that just flew towards Elder Huang must number in the thousands. How did such a quantity of black serpents ever reproduce on Mangcang Mountain!
However, before Wang Hao could make sense of all this.
Suddenly, he felt a tightness around his waist, and the next instant, he was bound by a blue ribbon-like rope, as Elder Huang’s injured and venomous purple face appeared before him.
"Cough... cough... I said... I always felt someone watching from behind. Earlier, I thought it was your master’s setup hidden within Moon Lake. Didn’t expect it was Wang Hao, you!"
How did he discover me!
At this moment, Wang Hao was scared out of his wits. He knew that whether he fell into Elder Huang’s hands or was abandoned by Elder Huang and found by his master, his fate wouldn’t be good.
What should I do now!
Damn merchant, didn’t he say cultivators below the True Self Realm couldn’t detect me!!!
Seeming to understand Wang Hao’s thoughts, Elder Huang laughed ominously: "Don’t think about irrelevant stuff, quickly, first use your Magical Artifact to cover me, first we’ll dodge those serpents your master raised, then discuss further!"
Cover up Elder Huang?
Once Elder Huang is safe, he will surely kill me, right?
With this thought in mind, Wang Hao nonetheless instinctively activated the Crescent-shaped Spiritual Artifact’s power, drawing Elder Huang into protection.
This was Wang Hao’s subconscious telling himself, if he didn’t do this, he’d end up dead at Elder Huang’s hands immediately!
Regarding this, Elder Huang was quite satisfied.
While dispersing snake venom from his body, he pointed at the thick-armed black serpents wandering around them, seemingly searching for something, and laughed strangely:
"Don’t feel like you betrayed Hee Qiang. You think your master is a good thing? You know how many disciples we’ve lost over the years in Mangcang Sect. Blood flowed like rivers in conflicts with surrounding sects, twice even intruding into our Sect. The disciples who died, if not a thousand, at least five hundred. Yet your treacherous master secretly hid such strong reserves. If he had taken them out earlier, even if we couldn’t match top-tier forces with Nirvana Realm power, we’d already be a top sect in Gan State, far from being weak compared to those with True Self great cultivators!"
