Shi Lang waved his hand, and the body was thrown at the feet of five fairies. The five ladies took a few steps back, and Shi Lang landed before them. He dispelled the domain and said, "Fairy Ying, this corpse can serve as evidence against the force this guy belonged to."
Ying Yu realized his intentions and nodded. She was about to accept the corpse when she gazed at her junior sister, who understood the intention and moved closer to the corpse. She removed the space ring and bought it for Ying Yu.
The lady thought momentarily and said, "Fellow Daoist Ace, do you wish to partake in anything inside this ring?"
Shi Lang shook his head, and with a flick of his hand, the overlord spear appeared in his hand. He asked, "If you do not mind, can I take this spear?"
Ying Yu did not mind it. After all, none of them used a spear. She was thinking about how Shi Lang would use this spear when the young man waved his hand, and many space rings appeared in the void. Shi Lang said, "You can have these too."
Ying Yu was surprised and wanted to say something when Shi Lang said, "I will bring you to the location first, but I hope you all can keep this a secret."
His words changed the expressions of the young ladies, and they had completely forgotten the motive they had tagged along with this young man. Ying Yu recalled his actions: "I swear on the heavens that we will not leak your secrets. If I fail to uphold this oath, may the heavens smite me with lightning and disperse my soul to the samsara."
Shi Lang was surprised and did not expect this lady even to take a heavenly oath. The shock was not contained to him, but even the junior sisters were surprised that Ying Yu swore on the heavens. They all realized at this moment that Shi Lang saved them. A roar echoed in the surroundings and drew their consciousness back to reality.
They turned to the side and found that Lei Hu was coming over slowly with the corpse of the blue wolf caught between his jaws. Shi Lang sighed and said, "I will cover you with my spiritual energy. Please do not resist."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe ladies exchanged glances before they nodded, and Shi Lang covered them with his spiritual energy. The next moment, the ladies sensed something and realized they had already appeared inside a huge hall. They were shocked and looked around to find Shi Lang.
However, they only heard his voice echoing, "Welcome to the inheritance palace, Fairies. This place is left behind by a group of seniors who did not wish for their skills to be forgotten. Feel free to move around and check the palace if you find any door calling to you. Then you might have a chance. Though, it might not be easy for you to inherit the mantle of your predecessors. Everything depends on your effort."
The ladies were momentarily surprised but then calmed down and began exploring the palace.
...
Outside, Shi Lang did not enter the palace. He lifted the spear in his hand and moved it around a bit. He had nothing to do inside the palace and decided to spend his time practicing his sword and spear skills.
He had a certain understanding of the sword's intent, and he also knew that his skills would not grow in such a short time. The motive to use and teach himself the spear was to find himself a cover in the future. He could use his identity as a spear cultivator and act as a sword cultivator in the dark.
He understood the fundament of having more than one identity to rely on. Moreover, he could create a clone and have it move around as the sword wielder. He began to practice without paying attention to the Thunder Tiger chowing down on the corpse of its prey. The world of spiritual beasts was rather simple.
As Shi Lang was practicing, he noticed something and suddenly came to a stop. He turned his head to look toward the cave beyond the swamp. The terran knew that the people he had just killed were all looking for something in the cave. They hid here because they saw them approach.
He asked, "Lei Hu, is there a demon beast inside that cave?"
The thunder tiger raised his head, and after gazing at the cave for a few minutes, he nodded. Shi Lang questioned, "Can you beat this beast?"
Lei Hu shook his head, and Shi Lang nodded. He said, "I will go and check out what kind of demon beast it is."
The thunder tiger opened his eyes wide and was scared, but Shi Lang sneered and said, "To think you were even posing before those Fairies. Tch, what a waste."
Then he waved his hand and moved Lei Hu inside the palace. The battle earlier happed over the swamp, and all the traces of it had vanished already. Shi Lang did not have to do much to clear up the scene. He circulated the movement technique and moved over the swamp. He could use his spirit sword to fly, but he wanted to use this time to hone his skills and sharpen them to use them while fighting the enemy.
He could use the void as a staircase, but that was just a facade and not a practical skill. The terran arrived at the cave entrance, and his spiritual energy scanned the place. However, as he dwelled deeper, a faint sense of oppression washed over him. This pressure was strong, and it was very volatile.
Shi Lang frowned. If he were to walk inside the cave and stand against this pressure, he would die miserably. He sighed and began to ponder what he should do. Suddenly, Raksha's voice sounded in his mind, "You can control the palace to go there. It can fend off this protective pressure from the demonic beast. I suggest you kill this thing and use its body to nourish the Demon Bane Tree."
Shi Lang nodded and decided to try this suggestion. He appeared inside the control room of the palace, and the palace, which was as big as a dust particle, flew forward. Shi Lang could tell that the pressure was almost non-existent inside the palace. Raksha's phantom appeared beside him, and the lady asked, "How do you intend to kill this guy when you have gotten closer to it?"
The Terran said, "Did you not figure it out by now?"
The sword spirit said, "I did not expect you to be so cruel."
Shi Lang did not answer her, but carefully, the palace entered the cave's depths. He narrowed his eyes, and Raksha asked, "What is it?"
The terran said, "Hold my hand."
Raksha was surprised and coquettishly said, "Aw, Shi Lang, you naughty."
Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, "Stupid, look at the beast."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe sword spirit pouted, but she still placed her hand on his hand, and the scene outside appeared in her consciousness. She was shocked because the demon beast outside was like a snake. The body was covered in black scales. This beast was the biggest of what Shi Lang had ever seen.
Only the head was big enough to put a house to shame. Raksha asked, "You cannot let this thing be awakened."
Shi Lang did not reply. He lowered the flying altitude and moved closer to the ground. He did not wish for the beast to pick up his presence. Raksha asked, "Why did you stop?'
Shi Lang replied, "Did you not sense the movement from it just now?"
The sword spirit was much more sensitive to the topic he was talking about and said, "You are thinking too much. The beast is in a deep sleep. The protective pressure from it is just an autonomous response from the body."
Shi Lang asked uncertainly, "Are you sure this is not the sign of this things awakening?"
Raksha shook her head and said, "Go ahead. You can find a vessel to enter the body and do what you want."
Yes, Shi Lang intended to use the palace, enter the beast's body, and consume it internally. He calmed down and followed the instructions. He decided to shrink the palace to the limit and moved between the gap of the scales. He did not hurry to find an entrance point.
If he wanted to attack effectively, he needed to enter the bloodstream and reach this beast's brain or heart. He would enter via the nostrils since he was closer to the snakehead. Those were the safest entrance points he could think of.
Raksha watched every thing unfold, and just when she was hoping that Shi Lang would be able to enter the nostril. The palace shook slightly. She was surprised, but when she looked at Shi Lang, she found the young man calm, and he stabilized the palace.
Shi Lang said, "The two of them are out of seclusion."
Raksha smiled and said, "Good, then you can have them deal with the unnecessary things outside."
Shi Lang understood what she referred too. He had also sensed it, but he did not react. However, the tremor in the palace and the exit of his friends, Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue coincided with the people outside the cave. It must be some demonic cultivators. Since the two of them were out, they could lend him a hand.
