So why are these two Great Demons fighting?
Usually, creatures as big as these, with their bodies full of Demon Qi and clearly having ford an Elixir, have their own fixed hunting grounds. Yunng Swamp is so prosperous, there’s no shortage of food that would require such battles. Besides, Chen Xuantian’s Primordial Spirit Ergence explored the surrounding terrain, discovering that the nearby land, although shallow in water, is not their usual fishing ground.
Initially, Chen Xuantian suspected there might be so Heavenly Materials Treasures or Immortal Fruits and Spirit Grass nearby, attracting the two demons to contend, but upon searching, he found none in sight. Judging from the marks of struggle and combat in the riverbank mud, the Tuo Dragon seed to want to escape ashore, while Ran Yi wanted to drag it into the water. Moreover, Ran Yi left a long trail of excrent in the water, though it wasn’t because it was scared; it deliberately left a strong scent, possibly to attract other aquatic monsters for support...
How peculiar...
During these years, Chen Xuantian wasn’t just indulging in idleness; he was also secluding for cultivation, learning and digesting the mories of Peng Ju’s practices, contemplating the Daoist Collection heritage of previous lives. Now that he’s out in the world, he headed to Yunng Swamp for cultivation, naturally because Peng Ju had once leveled up and battled monsters here, familiar with the resource points, so a strategy was already made. He knew that the monsters in Yunng Swamp had faction divisions, but it was simple; so simple it is divided into two camps.
In the northern Yunng Swamp, near the Ru and Han rivers, close to human dwellings, it’s primarily the territory of rebelling Dragon Clan, Immortal Venerable’s Four Ministers, leftover troops of the Left General, a gathering of rebel Gods and Demons.
While the southern Yunng Swamp, the Li River, vast barbaric regions, houses remnants of the Ancient Demon Clan and more barbaric wild demons.
Conflicts between both sides are straightforward and blunt. To the southern demons, northern demons are traitors to the Demon Clan, lackeys of humans, and beasts of the Immortal Venerable. The northern demons, however, consider the southern ones a bunch of country bumpkin monsters, not even wearing clothes.
Regardless of north or south, demons kill and consu each other if they are not of the sa clan, adhering to the jungle law of the weak being prey for the strong.
Although the Demon Clan considers the Human Clan their great enemy, the Immortal Palace long adopts guidelines for developing the Southern Border, frequently dispatching the main force of the Immortal Army to launch southern campaigns, sending criminals and refugees to reclaim wasteland.
The Mystic Sect similarly rolls southward from the Central Plains. If not for a batch of new monsters arriving from the north in recent years, allowing alchemy at ho, they might have already marched south, breaking mountains, felling temples, capturing demons.
Therefore, even if the demon relations are not harmonious, unless it’s a must-win situation over Heavenly Materials, the kings of both mountains seldom fight to a head-bashing bloodshed. In fact, occasionally, these demons form alliances, becoming sworn brothers, and should any day mountain n co knocking to capture them, neighboring demons might co to their rescue.
In this light, the entanglent of these two Great Demons on the border of Yunng Swamp is quite bizarre. Are they not afraid of being casually dealt with by passing mountain n? Or are these two demons actually performing, deliberately drawing him out for a trap?
One must not be careless, perhaps it’s a conspiracy by Lingxu...
Just as Chen Xuantian began divining for another session, suddenly, his Divine Sense detected soone’s arrival.
A person, in a light boat, cutting through wind and waves, swiftly dashed along the lakeshore, quickly entering the range of Chen Xuantian’s Divine Sense, and at this speed and trajectory, it was bound to collide with these two Great Demons.
Sothing’s fishy, could these two demons have received human guidance and are heading for this boat?
Chen Xuantian decided to hold off for a mont, pinch the formula, perform the magic, his Primordial Spirit Erging and floating to the sky, casting a distant glance at the light boat.
The three-ters long light boat, made of Spiritual Bamboo with Umbralwood as bones, covered in golden feathers over the canopy, a red flag hung high on the mast, embroidered with Golden Silk Fire Feather, a flaming Phoenix and vermillion bird.
Wow? They’re actually using the Five Phoenix Banner? If it’s not an Immortal Emperor’s foreign relative, it’s a minister to the Outer Territory, or had a legitimate Immortal Queen in the family?
Yet that’s not quite right, for the Chi Feng title is generally conferred to concubines from the Southern Country. While the current Immortal Emperor descends from the Southern Sect, considering ethical ranks and reasons for hereditary selection, nobody should be able to use the vermillion bird...
Oh right, there’s still one branch.
The deposed Dou Family, exiled en masse, transplanted to the Southern Palace. Different from the Liang and Deng families that were wiped out, root and branch, the Dou Family should still have descendants.
However, rationally speaking, Three Constellations never vindicated your family, a convicted minister still flaunting so proudly is sowhat... Hmm? Wait a mont, if at the ti, along with the Dou Family, exiled to the Southern Palace, were also her children, then using the Five Phoenix Banner is permissible...
This explains it, so now, to avoid taboo, they renad themselves as the Nangong Family.
