Chapter 10: The Crimson Demon Beast

  Quietly lying by the side of Tiger Leaping Gorge, Wang Guanlan didn't move at all, feeling as if he were a dead man. He wasn't unwilling to move, but rather, he didn't dare to move.

  At this time, he saw clearly what was falling from the sky.

  "Monster, it's actually a monster! There is actually a monster in the misty valley, what is that?!"

  Just as Wang Guanlan was astonished by the object in the water, another shrill whistle came from the sky, and then a silver light shot straight down from the horizon into the Tiger Leaping Gorge.

  Flying in the void, the aura of the demon slayer, this is a strong man who has cultivated the aura of the demon slayer to perfection! ?? Tyrant Heaven Martial Saint 10

  Yes, only a strong cultivator who has cultivated the Seven Layers of Qi can borrow the power of the aura to fly in the air. Other warriors, even those who have reached the late stage of the Sixth Layer, cannot fly freely in the air like this silver light.

  "It's actually a warrior in the Realm of Imperial Qi! It seems that this brook indeed has a demonic beast!!"

  Seeing the silver light flying towards him, Wang Guanlan once again confirmed his own judgment.

  Roar!

  Just as the silver light approached Tiger Leaping Gorge, the monster that had fallen into the water suddenly let out a loud roar and burst out of the surface, revealing its entire body. It was a gigantic creature over 30 meters tall, resembling an enormous lizard with a dark blue scaly skin all over its body. On top of its ferocious head stood a single horn, and two curved fangs gleamed with a cold light. The monster's massive size allowed it to step into the gorge as if it were just a small ditch, and after rolling around in the water, it stood up and let out a loud roar towards the silver light.

  "You beast, dare to resist!!" The silver light shot down from the air, aiming straight for the lizard's head, "Get down for me!!"

  BOOM!!!

  A flash of lightning almost simultaneously shot out from the single horn on the lizard's head, and the silver light collided in one place.

  Another earthquake, Wang Guanlan couldn't pretend to be dead this time. He hugged his head and ran wildly around the edge of the ravine, dodging falling rocks from the cliff, wanting to curse but not daring to.

  "Huh?!" The silver light seemed to have also discovered that there was an outsider here, somewhat unexpectedly. The silver light flashed once, and then split off a bit, wrapping Wang Guanlan entirely, sending him out over 100 zhang away.

  "Hey kid, this isn't a place for you to hang around, scram!!"

  Wang Guanlan raised his head and looked around, suddenly feeling a sense of despair. Wasn't this the place where he had just gotten out of the water? Where could he go now?

  That silver light was without regard for Wang Guanlan's feelings, fully engaging in battle with the demon beast.

  The oppressive aura dispersed, even from a hundred feet away, Wang Guanlan was forced to retreat step by step.

  Awesome, too awesome! This is a real master, this is a true strongman!!!

  Wang Guanlan felt a sense of emotion and admiration in his heart!

  He had also made up his mind that no matter what, he would wait until the two of them were done before leaving. So, while retreating backwards, he searched for a place to hide.

  "Good beast, lie down for me!" Just then, a stern shout suddenly came from the valley, and afterwards, a silver light burst forth. The giant lizard-like monster crashed to the ground, once again turning Tiger Leap Gorge into a mess. After a flash of blue light, its massive body vanished without a trace.

  Defeated!!!!!! Martial Saint of the Overbearing Heavens 10

  Wang Guanlan knew that it was a sign of the demon beast being subdued.

  This is a strange world, you can say that this world is backward, but the people in this world are not backward in their understanding of the world. They are very clear that they are not at the center of the universe and that there are other worlds beyond this one. Powerful warriors can tear through the void and enter other worlds, while powerful sorcerers can create a space that belongs entirely to themselves. Of course, only warriors who have transcended the Refining Qi stage can do so with their bare hands. Even the strongest Refining Qi stage warriors, including those at the ninth level of mastery, cannot achieve this. At most, they can only sense the weak spatial nodes where this world connects with other worlds through their keen spiritual awareness, and use a weapon or external object to temporarily tear open a small hole in space to achieve their goals.

  Yao beasts, according to legend, are the descendants of ancient gods and demons who interbred with ancient wild beasts. They possess beastly characteristics but also have the massive physique and some innate abilities of ancient gods and demons. The world they inhabit is called the Yao Beast Realm, which is closely linked to this world. In some places, the spatial nodes between worlds are not solid, so in ancient times, many powerful yao beasts broke through these nodes and rampaged among humans. However, with the rise of humanity, powerful warriors and sorcerers drove out these yao beasts, reinforced the spatial nodes, making it difficult for them to enter the human world again. During battles against yao beasts, sorcerers discovered a method to control them and make them fight for humans, which became known as Yao Refining Sorcery.

  The Demon Refining Technique belongs to the Daoist system, but its level is extremely low, not even worthy of being called a talismanic technique. Even a warrior at the Qi Control stage can cast it, yet this technique is also the most difficult among all Daoist techniques.

  Why?

  Because the ultimate goal of this demon beast technique is to control and enslave the demon beasts, you must possess a divine soul power that surpasses that of the demon beasts. Demon beasts are not just strange creatures, they are the descendants of ancient gods and demons, their intelligence is no less than that of humans, and their divine soul power far exceeds that of humans. Although the demon beast technique takes this into account and forms control symbols that suppress the requirement for spiritual power to the lowest level, it still requires at least a spiritual power equal to that of the demon beasts. Ordinary warriors do not have such strong divine soul power, and even if they are practitioners, it is difficult to reach this requirement. Therefore, just based on this point alone, the range of use of the demon beast technique is severely limited.

  It is precisely because of the limitations of the demon beast technique that in the human world, the demon beast technique can be said to be a patent of great masters, and only when they reach the level of great masters do they have enough spiritual power to use the demon beast technique to control the demon beasts.

  Generally speaking, a powerful sorcerer will also find ways to tame a demon beast in the demon beast realm to make up for their physical deficiencies.

  However, it was not a great wizard who subdued this monster, but a warrior.

  Wang Guanlan didn't know if this warrior was the master of the 9th layer of Qi Refining, but it was clear that he was at least a warrior in the Qi Control stage.

  It was rare for Wang Guanlan in Ningwangfu to see him, and they were all high-ranking officials.

  If this guy enters Ning Wang Fu, his status will inevitably be one person under, and all people above, at least on the surface it will be so.

  But obviously, this is impossible.

  The demon beast was subdued, and the silver light that had shrouded him finally dissipated, revealing the true face of the man.

  "It's actually a woman?!" As he got a clear look at the person, a hint of surprise flashed across Wang Guanlan's face. Under the dissipation of the silver light, what appeared before Wang Guanlan was actually a young woman.

  Of course, Wang Guanlan wouldn't be foolish enough to think that just because someone looks young, they really are young. A warrior at the level of Yuqi must have some way to reverse their age, who knows if this stunningly beautiful woman in front of him is actually seventy or eighty years old.

  Of course, all of this could only be muttered in the dark, and on the surface, when the woman's gaze turned to him, a look of adoration appeared on his face.

  "The 14th son of the Grand Duke Qi Ning's mansion, Wang Guanlan, pays his respects to his seniors!"

  The Fourteenth Son of the Daqing Emperor!

  Ten words, and his identity was clearly revealed.

  "The fourteenth son of the Great Qin Wangfu!" The crimson-robed woman slightly furrowed her brow, seemingly pondering something. After a while, she spoke up, "What is your relationship with Wang Xuan?"

  "King Xuan?!" Wang Guanlan's mind suddenly went blank. ?? Overlord Martial Saint 10

  He was stunned for a moment before he stammered out, "I have an uncle's ancestor, who seems to be called Wang Xuan, but Wang Xuan is not his real name!"

  "Hmm, that's him, he owes me a debt of gratitude for fifty years and still hasn't repaid me. Since he is your uncle, shouldn't this account be settled by you?!"

  Awesome!!!

  Wang Guanlan looked at the crimson-robed woman in front of him and for a moment, he didn't know what to say either.

  "How old are you, and yet you still pretend to be young? And now you're making things difficult for me with just one little word!" Wang Guanlan muttered to himself, but he didn't dare say it out loud. He knew that if he said this in front of the woman, she would slap him to death with just one hand.

  Looking at Wang Guanlan's embarrassed expression, the crimson-robed woman chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. However, you also have to help me with something, okay?!"

  "Whatever you say, senior!" Wang Guanlan understood that this was not the time to shirk and immediately agreed.

  "Alright, you're much more pleasant than that stingy uncle of yours, come with me!" As he spoke, a flash of silver light enveloped Wang Guanlan, and with a loud whistle, he was swept up and thrown into the depths of the Misty Valley.

  "My goodness gracious, is this what it feels like to fly in the sky?!"

  Whether it was his past life or this life, this was Wang Guanlan's first flight. Although he was wrapped in a silver aura that made him unable to sense the airflow in the air, the speed of the wind and lightning made him yearn for more.

  "Little one, aren't you envious? Don't you also want to fly?" The mysterious woman's teasing voice echoed in his ear.

  "Of course, which martial artist doesn't want to condense their aura into a powerful aura, or even become a grandmaster?!" Wang Guanlan didn't hide his thoughts, "As long as I have time, I believe I can definitely achieve this too!"

  "Hmm, not bad, kid, quite impressive!" The crimson-robed woman was somewhat surprised by Wang Guanlan's confidence, but she immediately laughed and said, "That's true, you have a strong innate spiritual power and a good background, so cultivating to the Air Control stage is almost effortless. As long as you put in a bit more effort, breaking through to the 9th layer of Qi Refining is also a matter of course. However, kid, if you don't break through the 9th layer, having such a powerful spiritual power won't be of much use. Are you interested in cultivating Taoist magic?"
