Chapter 578: Chapter 179 A Team

"Your team?"

An Jing could sense an aura nearly identical to that of his own master Mingguang Dust’s from the youngster, who was apparently also at the pinnacle of the Divine Repository and even close to becoming a True Lord through a Great Heaven’s Sanctification—judging by his teenage appearance, this ’youth’ was considered quite young among the Demon Spirits.

However, his aura was somewhat unstable. Although the person himself was likely talented, it was obvious that his cultivation had been too aggressive, and he had relied too heavily on external forces.

An Jing estimated that this Divine Repository Demon King was at most at the level of a third or fourth-tier city. At the same rank, let alone competing with a top international-level super martial artist like himself, even his master, who is at least first-tier, could easily deal with four or five of these with just one hand. And those True Persons of the Great Sects who were previously blocked outside the seal could also hold their own.

But this was actually not bad, being the average standard for a Great Sect. Below the level of fifth-tier cities, there were the levels of towns, townships, villages, rural areas, and wild martial artists; and even that wasn’t the lowest tier because at least all the above seriously cultivated, it’s just that due to innate talent and education, they seemed unsatisfactory.

Further down, there were medicated martial artists, Duck Filling Martial Artists, and top-down martial artists.

"Eh?"

Hearing An Jing’s words, the young Demon Spirit was somewhat puzzled, "You don’t know about our team? The person who brought you in, didn’t they tell you about these things? It’s true that these matters are indeed not convenient to mention, but you should know that there are factions within Endless Heavens, right?"

"It doesn’t matter, anyway. You can ask me any questions you have."

Although he was a Divine Repository True Person, the Demon Spirit was still quite amiable towards An Jing, who was at most a martial artist with Inner Strength in his Martial Meridians—after all, they were going to be teammates in the future. When he was still a snake, he never faced discrimination and received a lot of help from many in the team, so naturally, he would assist the new comrades.

"I am indeed aware of that."

An Jing nodded, "However..."

He originally wanted to ask who the other party really was—when suddenly, the Immaculate Wood, which had been sleeping within An Jing’s Great Void Magical Instrument, awoke.

After receiving an enhancement from the Doulu Immortal Fire, as long as it didn’t possess its own consciousness, even living Spiritual Objects could be stored inside, and the unconscious Immaculate Wood, along with the Kanming Bell, could be packed up and taken away.

But now, as the Immaculate Wood awoke, it left the Great Void Magical Instrument.

Then, with a flick of its branches, it shot out rays of Golden Qi towards the stupefied young Demon Spirit.

"Hey, hey, hey, what’s going on here? Immaculate Wood?"

The young Demon Spirit was still being healed by Endless Heavens, unable to dodge, and for some reason, Endless Heavens didn’t provide any defense, and his condition was very poor due to Demonic Qi erosion. He could only take the bright strike of Golden Qi head-on, and with a swoosh, his clothes were sliced open with many gaps, leaving blood oozing from the cuts.

"Damn, what the hell? Big light ball, why don’t you stop it? Didn’t they say there’s no infighting within Endless Heavens?!"

The young Demon Spirit had no choice but to terminate his healing and bolt—unable to attack the Immaculate Wood, yet the Immaculate Wood could attack him, beating him until he could only run: "Why, why, Immaculate Wood, why have you come—"

Seeing this scene, how could An Jing not know who the other person was?

"Transforming from Purple to Gold, Dragon Horn, a snake..."

An Jing realized in a flash, "So it’s Shuo Yueying, huh? Turns out he’s a person from Endless Heavens, no wonder he was able to molt so many times and still succeed. So young, yet really unworldly—Immaculate Wood, hit him harder!"

His last sentence was spoken aloud, leaving Shuo Yueying utterly confused, "Who exactly are you, and how do you know me?"

But An Jing didn’t pay him any attention—the snake had been siphoning the force of the Immaculate Wood to boost his own strength in a flash, no wonder his power was so unstable despite being from Endless Heavens. Since the Immaculate Wood was now on his side, he was of course rooting for it.

As for why the Immaculate Wood woke up, An Jing had a guess: "Could it be that the Immaculate Wood is the ’Tree of Fate’ of Endless Heavens? So just now Endless Heavens also healed it, and that’s why it woke up?"

The state of the Immaculate Wood was clearly much better than before, almost recovered from its deficit, enabling it to attack Shuo Yueying with such vigor using the Golden Qi Sword.

On the contrary, the Kanming Bell, though it hadn’t suffered much, remained asleep, probably not the fated bell.

"Endless Heavens didn’t stop the battle; it prohibits unreasonable mutual harm—if it can hit you and you can’t hit it, it means your relationship with it is purely one-sided persecution, and it has no harm towards you."

A familiar figure appeared, accompanied by bolts of Thunder Light, Jin Yanhua appeared on the Endless Heavens platform.

She seemed to have been in battle just before, her armor still smeared with various colors of demon blood and human blood, not yet dry; it appeared that she sensed An Jing’s arrival and thus traversed the Great Void to reach Endless Heavens.

"Jin!"

Seeing Jin Yanhua’s arrival, Shuo Yueying exclaimed in surprise: "You’re here? Help me..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jin Yanhua quickly stepped forward, passing the surprised Shuo Yueying, and forcefully embraced An Jing with her tail: "It’s so good that you’re alright—I originally wanted to go over and help you, but the battle over there was too chaotic, and without the Great Void Altar pinpointing your location, and you not even being part of our team, there was no way to transfer over!"

Turning her head, Shuo Yueying, resisting the anger from the Immaculate Wood’s Golden Qi Sword Qi, stared wide-eyed and speechless at this scene.

—Who is this person? To be so close to Jin?

"Mmhm, I understand."

An Jing was hugged so tightly he almost couldn’t breathe. Thankfully, Jin Yanhua quickly lessened her grip, allowing him to catch his breath and reply: "It’s okay, Jin. I’m fine, really fine—things were tough, but look at me, I wasn’t hurt much, was I? Endless Heavens didn’t take long to heal me, that proves I’m alright, doesn’t it?"

"That’s true..."

Jin Yanhua released her hands and tail, sizing up An Jing from head to toe, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became: "Anyway, now that you’re alright, An Jing, you’re now a member of our squad. If there’s any trouble in the future, you can expend ’Merit’ to activate the Great Void pinpointing, and if we’re capable, we’ll all come over to help you!"

At this moment, she seemed to notice Shuo Yueying still being attacked by the Immaculate Wood, turning her head somewhat coldly and said: "Oh, Shuo, you haven’t been around much lately."

"But now you’re about to reach the Manifesting Holy stage, a mere tree’s attack, just let it hit you more to dissipate its resentment. The Merit needed for healing, you’ll have to pay yourself, don’t use the team’s account."

"Mm, ah..."

Hearing this, even though she was close to achieving Manifesting Holy, Shuo Yueying obediently nodded like pounding garlic, clearly holding Jin Yanhua in high respect.

Meanwhile, An Jing turned his head to look around. He glanced at Jin Yanhua’s attitudes towards himself and Shuo Yueying, and couldn’t help but speculate in his heart.

—Does Jin Yanhua... have a liking for people?

The difference in her treatment towards people and demons seemed quite significant... I’ve heard that among people, some are crazy about cats; could it be that Jin Yanhua is one of those dragons that loves people?

"I see you’re a Demon Spirit too," he said, thinking about it. "Why do you oppress other Demon Spirits?"

Propping up her Protective Body Art of Magic, Shuo Yueying looked towards the Immaculate Wood, helplessly said: "It’s a plant Demon Spirit, originally didn’t have much Spiritual Wisdom, by those standards, I didn’t exploit it..."

"After it gained Spiritual Wisdom, it wouldn’t let me investigate the seal. The seal is almost broken, and it wouldn’t even let me check. I was worried Broken Blade Mountain might be related to the Demon Disaster I was in charge of in Hanhai, preparing to investigate it as preparation for the upcoming tasks."

"Later, when I found out there was no connection, it was too late; affected by the Demonic Qi—space could only help me shed my skin, not eradicate it, I had no choice but to try and complete the great task, accumulate a big wave of Merit. Since that was the case, I could only try to achieve Great Heaven’s Sanctification as soon as possible, to prevent Broken Blade Mountain from erupting in trouble, and issues arising again in Hanhai..."

Shuo Yueying’s explanation was somewhat incomplete, assuming the listener knew much, meant for Jin Yanhua rather than An Jing.

But An Jing could vaguely make out: "In charge? Demon Disaster of Hanhai? It seems that Jin Yanhua’s squad was partly responsible for the Demon Disaster in Hanhai back then..."

Yes, it was King Jing! He understood the connection: "Shuo Yueying was a subordinate of King Jing... This was King Jing’s task!"

Shuo Yueying, who had followed someone in her past, clearly not Jin Yanhua but King Jing, and for this reason, a Divine Repository Demon King like herself could occupy a place like Primordial Spirit Cave without attracting any attention, silently accumulating power, nearly reaching the Manifesting Holy realm!

So, with that in mind, some odd happenings could vaguely start to make sense... all the plans of the True Demon Sect aimed at Broken Blade Mountain, aimed at Shuo Yueying, which the Da Chen dynasty tacitly allowed—who was supporting it behind the scenes?

Perhaps it was those people who poisoned King Jing back then!

This was a thorough eradication, to completely remove everything King Jing left behind!
