    “It’s time to leave.”


    Although it had taken some time and unexpected things happened, Xiao Chen managed toplete the mission.


    Now, only two missions remained. One was to eliminate the Demonic Cloud Mountain Eighteen Great Bandits, and the other was to go to the underground world to reim the resource node that the Dragon’s Gate lost.


    Of the two missions, it was clear without thinking thatpleting the first one would be better.


    The underground world was also known as the Abyssal Underworld. It connected all the four dynasties and eight empires.


    The waters ran deep there, and Holy Venerates counted as nothing. Sometimes, Divine Vein powerhouses would participate in huge battles.


    However, this was a mission issued by the sect. Since it was a Rank 1 mission, it should not surpass the limits of a Holy Venerate.


    There was still some guarantee to it. If it surpassed the capabilities of a Holy Venerate, it would have been ssified as Absolute Rank.


    However, the underworld mission also had a special indication on it. Its difficulty wasbeled peak Rank 1, which meant it was extremely dangerous. It was suggested for three people toplete it.


    One hour after Xiao Chen left, two old men suddenly appeared where he previously was.


    These two old men’s cultivations were extremely horrifying. Although they had not reached Sovereign Personage yet, their auras already seemed to be at the limits ofte-stage Holy Venerate. Their eyes were sharp and their Dragon Might strong.


    “Whoosh! Whoosh!”


    The two old men arrived by Qin Aotian’s side. One look left them stupefied.


    They saw Qin Aotian’s previously handsome face mangled into something like crap. If not for them normally following Qin Aotian around, they would not have recognized him.


    “Who did this? This is too ruthless, right?”


    “Enough talk for now. Quickly help Young Master realign his bones. Otherwise, when he sees how he looks like now, he will probably want tomit suicide.”


    “However...however, this is rather difficult. Even if we manage to realign his bones, it will be difficult for him to regain his previous looks. I simply...simply...do not know where to start.”


    The two old men sighed. After a quick check, they found that Qin Aotian’s injuries were severe but not fatal.


    Qin Aotian would be able to recover right away after taking some good Medicinal Pills.


    Of the inherited Dao Tools on Qin Aotian, only the Dragon-Patterned Battle Suit was missing. The five rings were still there.


    However, this Dragon-Patterned Battle Suit was the most valuable among the inherited Dao Tools.


    “What should we do? How are we going to give an ount to First Young Master? That Dragon-Patterned Battle Suit has been passed down in the Qin n for several generations. Losing it will bring great trouble.”


    “It’s fine. First Young Master has always been fair. This time, it was Young Master who insisted that we not follow him in. I think First Young Master will not me us.”


    “I hope so.”


    Xiao Chen did not know about what happened. However, even if he did, he would not regret what he did.


    —


    On to the Demonic Cloud Mountain Eighteen Great Bandits.


    The Demonic Cloud Mountain was not a mountain but also a mountain at the same time. This sounded contradictory, but that was indeed the case.


    The Demonic Cloud Mountain was an inherited Dao Tool. Furthermore, it was a very incredible inherited Dao Tool.


    With sufficient resources, it might be possible to refine the Demonic Cloud Mountain into a Soul Tool.


    The Eighteen Great Bandits were people of different talents. Some were good with formations, some were good at refining Medicinal Pills, some were good at divination, some were good at forging weapons. There were experts in every field.


    As such, the Eighteen Great Bandits could divine good and bad luck and turn misfortune into blessings.


    The Eighteen Great Bandits could divine if there were Sovereign Personage expertsing to kill them. If there were, they would immediately flee.


    The Demonic Cloud Mountain would enter the Starry Heavens and hide in the boundless universe, which was boundlessly vast that no one would know where to begin searching.


    These bandits had already moved about freely for several years. The Dragon’s Gate had long since targeted these bandits. However, it could not do anything to them.


    If the Dragon’s Gate sent people who were too strong, the bandits would flee in advance.


    If the Dragon’s Gate sent people who were too weak, the bandits would end up killing them.


    The Dragon’s Gate could send out a Divine Vein expert. That way, the Demonic Cloud Mountain Eighteen Great Bandits would not be able to divine his arrival. However, that would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Others wouldugh at them. Furthermore, a Divine Vein powerhouse would disdain to make a move on Holy Venerates. Hence, these bandits presented a headache for the Dragon’s Gate’s upper echelon.


    Although this mission to eliminate the Demonic Cloud Mountain Eighteen Great Bandits had already been up for many years, no one managed toplete it.


    The reward for this mission was quite high, a total of thirteen thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills, slightly more than the yearly stipend of a Heavenly Dragon Pce core disciple.


    Xiao Chen used the informationwork the Dragon’s Gate scattered throughout the empire. After he obtained news of the Demonic Cloud Mountain Eighteen Great Bandits, he rushed over.


    —


    Divine Dragon Empire, Smoky Cloud County:


    In the Smoky Cloud Mountain Range of Smoky Cloud County, there was a hidden peak that stood out.


    However, the Smoky Cloud Mountain Range stretched from north to south, an incredibly vast ce. No one would notice one peak looking off.


    This peak towered into the clouds. However, the clouds surrounding it were pitch-ck, surging with Demonic Qi.


    This strange peak, which did not look too different from the other peaks, was the infamous Demonic Cloud Mountain.


    A white-d youth sat at the summit of a distant peak. He had a treasure saber at his side, and his countenance looked delicate. Mist and clouds surrounded him, giving him the air of a person from ancient times.


    When the mist around the peak scattered, one would discover that this white-d youth was actually sitting on a gigantic scarlet bird.


    This scarlet bird stood tall and straight. It had sharp eyes with a golden glow. Its scarlet feathers looked fresh and vibrant. An eye-catching golden line ran down the middle of its tail feathers.


    Naturally, the white-d desman was Xiao Chen, and the gigantic scarlet bird was the Demon Blood Vulture, which had just woken up.


    After consuming the Beast Blood Pill, the Demon Blood Vulture had been in a scarlet cocoon for several months.


    Indeed, this breakthrough was extraordinary. Not only had the Demon Blood Vulture advanced to Holy Venerate, but its mutated bloodline had also improved further. Its Demonic Might was stronger, and it awoke some iplete memories hidden in its bloodline, allowing it to grasp many new techniques.


    The Demon Blood Vulture’s strength was alreadypletely different from before. Three to five regr Holy Venerates would not be strong enough to deal with it.


    “The Demonic Cloud Mountain!” Xiao Chen said softly. A brilliant light shed in his eyes as he looked at the distant peak.


    The Dragon’s Gate’s information on the Demonic Cloud Mountain was urate. However, even though its location was known, being able to eliminate it was a whole other issue.


    If Xiao Chen were a Sovereign Personage, then the Demonic Cloud Mountain in front would definitely disappear, not letting him find it.


    There was an expert at divination among the Eighteen Great Bandits. He could predict some crucial clues, which was why they could roam freely for so many years.


    This showed that this divination expert was indeed of a certain standard.


    Master, when are we charging over? I am already so hungry and thirsty. I can’t wait anymore. The Demon Blood Vulture’s voice rang out in Xiao Chen’s mind, sounding very impatient.


    “There’s no rush. Let me think about it for a while.”


    Xiao Chen set his saber aside and took out the God Shadow Bow. Then, he started caressing it. This Soul Tool was undoubtedly the best means.


    With Xiao Chen’s own strength, he honestly was barely strong enough to deal with eighteen famous bandits.


    If he was careless, he might end up handing over his life.


    If Xiao Chen wanted to run, he would not fear the other party catching up. However, this mission required him to kill the Eighteen Great Bandits.


    —


    Inside the Demonic Cloud Mountain was a mysterious ck space. That pitch-ck space was empty. Nothing at all was visible. It seemed boundlessly huge and yet small at the same time; it was very mysterious and unfathomable.


    “Boom!”


    Suddenly, a clump of light, then boundless stars above it appeared in the pitch-ck space, looking endless.


    “Ninth Brother, have you finished the divination? Are there really no Sovereign Personages targeting us this time?”


    A vague voice came from the clump of light in the pitch-ck space.


    “I tried divining three times, and there is indeed none. It is too difficult to divine who came. However, I am certain that it is not a Sovereign Personage.”


    Another clump of light appeared in the mysterious space, and it replied to the previous person.


    “Hehe! If there are no Sovereign Personages, it is good. Without a Sovereign Personageing, our Demonic Cloud Mountain is sufficient to sweep through the ce. No matter how many Holy Veneratese, it will be useless. Hahaha!”


    “I hope it is a heaven-ss core discipleing this time. Just thinking about it makes me salivate. The heaven-ss core disciples of the various pces are all fatmbs.”


    “The heaven-ss core disciples all probably have their own protective measures. They are not that easy to kill. I hope there will be more Holy Venerates. Let them think that they can break through the Demonic Cloud Mountain with many people. Hehe!”


    “First Brother, who are we targeting this time?”


    “The Smoky Cloud County’s Mo n. They are an average-sized n. I just got news of their Sovereign Personage passing away. There is no need to fear them.”


    “I can’t wait. Thest time we made a move was one year ago. The killing that time was truly delightful.”


    “Eighth Brother, you are absolutely disgraceful. Every time we set out to destroy a n, you don’t even let off the children. Hahaha! However, don’t snatch them from me this time. Leave the destruction of the n to me.”


    “Hahaha! No problem! As long as we Demonic Cloud Mountain Eighteen Great Bandits work together, we can sweep through the ce. Nothing is impossible.”


    More clumps of light appeared in the pitch-dark space. The discussion became more enthusiastic.


    Just at this moment, the ninth brother frowned slightly. His heart had skipped a beat for some reason. For such a thing to happen to a person skilled at divination, there had to be something extremely horrifying.


    The ninth brother’s expression turned unsightly. He frantically started divining, and the clump of light representing the ninth brother became iparably resplendent and dazzling.


    “Ninth Brother, what’s wrong?”


    “What’s going on?!”


    Such a change made the other bandits feel that something was off.


    “Big Brother, quickly leave. Quickly make the Demonic Cloud Mountain leave. The personing has a Soul Tool. If we still do not leave, it will be toote!”


    Then, the light guttered and vanished. The ninth brother vomited a mouthful of blood. After he spoke the results of his divination, he fainted.


    “Ah!”


    The others were shocked at the turn of events.


    —


    Far away, a brilliant light shed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. Then, he pulled back on the bowstring. He poured all his Soul Energy into the bow, but that was not enough. Then, he poured in his Veritable Essence Energy nonstop.


    A clump of Heart me appeared on his fingertips and spread out on the arrow, merging with it.


    Xiao Chen felt his body wobbling. He felt like he would faint at any moment. However, he did his best to hold on with strong determination. As he continued to pour Veritable Essence Energy into the God Shadow Bow, he kept challenging the limits of his body.


    “Whoosh!”


    When Xiao Chen truly reached his limits, he let go, firing the arrow.


    The arrow shot through the sky, flying so quickly that Xiao Chen could not capture its movement at all. He had released the arrow just as the Demonic Cloud Mountain soared up, and the Demonic Cloud Mountain instantly exploded.


    Miserably cries rang out as eighteen figures were sted out in all directions.


    One arrow from the God Shadow Bow exploded the entire Demonic Cloud Mountain into countless pieces. When the wreckage swept out, it triggered tens of thousands of tempests.


    Shock waves surged out, directly crushing the surrounding peaks.


    The somewhat feeble Xiao Chen jumped off the Demon Blood Vulture’s back. However, a cold, emotionless murderous intent appeared on his pale face as he said coldly, “Don’t let any of them escape. Leave none of them alive. If even one escapes, I’ll hold you responsible.”


    Yes, Master!


    The impatient Demon Blood Vulture screeched and turned into a blood arrow shooting forward.
