<h4>Chapter 353: To The Nine Head n, Resurrecting The Nine-Headed Snakelet</h4>
On his journey to the Nine Head n, Chu Kuangren held a piece of painting that he had purchased from a merchant. On it was the depiction of a strange nine-headed serpent with all its intimidating features.
“The ancient beast, the Nine-Headed Snakelet!”
“Legend has it that the beast wields both water and fire elements masterfully. Hah, I didn’t think the Nine Head n would worship such a beast. How interesting.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Lan Yu was curiously studying the depiction too.
“What an unsightly beast. It’s nowhere as majestic as Lil Red,” said Lan Yu.
“Of course. Lil Red is a prosperous godly beast, whereas this is a ferocious beast. They can’t bepared, but the Nine-Headed Snakelet should not be underestimated. ording to its bloodline, its hierarchy is just below that of the godly beasts.”
Chu Kuangren said.
Then, he looked across the distance to the barrennd and said, “Only four hundred kilometers to go before we get to the ckwater Prefecture. That’s where the Nine Head n is.”
“Let’s go, we should be able to reach today.”
…
Inside a Nine Head n tent.
“Everyone, when Young Master Li awakens the Nine-Headed Snakelet, we shall finally expand our territory!” The Nine Head n Leader cheered with several elders as they indulged in alcohols and delicacies.
The elders were equally as excited.
Boom!
At that instance, thunder could be heard from the outside.
As dark clouds gathered, the tents were immediately washed by a heavy downpour.
“Damn it, I’ve had it enough with this stupid ce. It’s always raining heavily out of nowhere,”ined an elder.
The other elders were scowling too.
Although this was thend that they grew up in, they did not have any sentimental values for it, only endlessints.
“Once we invade the Royal Azure Dynasty, the enormous prefecture is ours. By then, don’t we have all of the resources we need?”
“That’s right. This is all thanks to the Young Master. It’s with his foresight that if Gu Changge ispromised, then the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl is ours.”
“I can’t wait to mess around in the Royal Azure Dynasty Pce.”
The elders wereughing heartily.
Just then, one of the Nine Head n members rushed in.
He was panicking as he said in terror, “n Leader, we’re in deep trouble!”
“What happened? Why’re you so frightened?”
“Chu Kuangren’s here!”
Upon hearing this, the looks on the elders’ faces changed.
The Nine Head n Leader became stern. “Why’s he here? Hold on, could he be here for Gu Changge?”
The n leader and the elders only now remembered that aside from being the ck Heaven Sect Leader, Chu Kuangren was also the fiancé to Linglong, which made him the de facto king of the Royal Azure Dynasty.
“Come, let’s go meet this person!”
The Nine Head n Leader said after he pondered about it.
With that, the group exited the tent.
Amid the thunderstorm stood two people, a man and a woman who looked out of this world, and around them were a forcefield that separated them from the heavy outpour.
The ground was covered in muddy water as the wind howled ferociously.
Yet, the two people remained pristine, as if they did not need to pander to the physical boundaries of this world. It was a fascinating sight to behold.
A strange look shed across the Nine Head n Leader’s eyes before he approached the duo. He smiled and greeted them, “Wee, Sect Leader Chu. It’s my honor to host you as our guests!”
“Alright, enough with the polite words. Hand the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl and Gu Changge over,” said Chu Kuangren firmly.
The Nine Head n Leader seemed dumbfounded. He uttered, “Sect Leader Chu, what’re you talking about? Gu Changge is the Crown Prince of the Royal Azure Dynasty, why would he be here? And what in the world is a Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl?”
“Your attempt at ying the fool here doesn’t hide the truth. I’d advise you to fulfill my demands before I resort to more violent measures.”
“Sect Leader, I truly don’t…”
Before the n leader could finish his words, a breeze of cold intent manifested within the thunderstorm, covering half of the Nine Head n’s territory.
“I’m running out of patience, n Leader. Please get to the point.”
Chu Kuangren said.
Although Chu Kuangren’s voice was not as loud as the pattering of raindrops, the Nine Head n Leader could hear his words clearly. Meanwhile, he felt a cold chill spread across his heart, as if his blood was about to freeze.
“Sect Leader Chu, isn’t driving the Nine Head n to a corner like this a bit too much?” At this point, a frail voice rang out.
An elder in a clothed robe suddenly appeared in the void as he stared unhappily at Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren glimpsed at the elder.
It was the Sage of the Nine Head n, who possessed a Three-Step Sage cultivation base.
Chu Kuangren gently lifted his hand and summoned an enormous golden palm that charged fiercely towards the elder.
Under the rainwater, the strike was immediately sted into a mist that covered the sky.
“What?!”
The elder was caught off-guard as he did not expect Chu Kuangren to attack so abruptly. He hastily channeled his spiritual energy and converged the surrounding rainwater into a gigantic water pir thatunched itself outwards.
The two opposing forces collided!
Then, the water pir disintegrated as the remaining violent energy swept out andnded a direct hit on the elder’s body.
In a split second, the elder was sted off his feet, sustaining heavy injuries before he fell onto the floor. His once pristine robe was now tainted by the muddy water on the ground. By looks, there was no difference between the majestic Sage and an average street beggar.
“Chu Kuangren, you’re too much!”
The Nine Head n Leader was fuming.
Unfortunately for the n leader, a devastating Sword-based Daoist Rhyme emanated and now enshrouded the entire Nine Head n.
Every n member, including the n leader and the Sage, could feel their scalps numb. With the Daoist Rhyme, pouring rainwater now manifested into a hail of daggers, as if ready to slice their heads off at any time!
“I’ve told you not my patience is wearing thin. If you speak another word of nonsense, I bet that none of you can make it out alive even if each of you has nine heads. I’ll ask this one more time, where’s Gu Changge and the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl?!”
Chu Kuangren snorted coldly.
The Nine Head n leader and the Sage were already green to the face, shivering in fear. However, there was nothing they could do.
‘This person is an insanely violent person!’
‘Did he just threaten to annihte the entire Nine Head n?!’
‘How can he resort to such a threat?!’
However, the Nine Head n Leader did not doubt Chu Kuangren’s ability to follow through with his words. After all, Chu Kuangren’s past was filled with many cautionary tales.
Chu Kuangren had once created a huge mess within the Scaled n of the deep sea. The Nine Head n was nowhere near as strong as the Scaled n.
How could they possibly defend themselves against Chu Kuangren?
“The Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl and Gu Changge were indeed here, but not anymore,” said the Nine Head n Leader.
He surrendered to Chu Kuangren’s demands.
“Oh, where did they go then?”
“To the ckwater Swamp!” The Nine Head n Leader gritted his teeth and uttered.
“What’re they doing there?”
“To help the Young Master in awakening our Lord, the Nine-Headed Snakelet!”
Chu Kuangren was a little confused. “Awakening the Nine-Headed Snakelet… You mean they want to resurrect the Nine-Headed Snakelet?”
“That’s right.”
The Nine Head n Leader then revealed the entire story.
It turned out that an empyrean walker had recentlye to the Nine Head n, and this particr empyrean walker carried the bloodline of the Nine Head n!
As such, the empyrean walker was conferred as the Young Master of their n. In order to resurrect the Nine-Headed Snakelet, he had bribed Gu Changge into stealing the Nine-Headed Snakelet Pearl from the Royal Azure Dynasty…
