738: There's a road to the east.
"My Emperor, this subordinate found an anomaly over there."
Below, the gray Scorpion Beast prostrated on the ground, respectfully reporting to the mighty Five-Colored Great Scorpion.
"Oh?"
Heavenly Scorpion's heart stirred, and he descended from the air, landing in front of the gray Scorpion Beast.
"Take me to see it."
Heavenly Scorpion spoke in a deep voice.
The moment he spoke, there was a faint hint of a true powerhouse's demeanor.
This caused the gray Scorpion Beast's heart to involuntarily tremble.
Second Master is also formidable.
Unlike the private discussions of those great Yao Beasts, who said that Second Master was merely relying on some distant connection with the First Master to forcefully remain in this Five-Colored Marsh, refusing to leave.
The gray Scorpion Beast's thoughts were in a flurry.
"Second... Emperor, this way."
The gray Scorpion Beast had many thoughts, almost letting slip a word, but fortunately, as soon as the words were out, he quickly corrected himself and moved, heading in a certain direction.
Heavenly Scorpion nodded in satisfaction, following behind the gray Scorpion Beast.
He felt a bit smug.
He was merely imitating a fraction of his boss's demeanor while by his boss's side. Indeed, his boss was an invincible existence; even a one-in-ten-thousand imitation had such an effect.
The two Yao Beasts, one large and one small, traversed the marsh.
Not long after.
In front of Heavenly Scorpion, the gray Scorpion Beast stopped, looking at a black cocoon embedded in the marsh in the distance.
"Second Master."
Around this black cocoon, many various poisonous beasts had already gathered.
However, none dared to act rashly. Upon seeing Heavenly Scorpion's figure, they all turned around and saluted him.
Heavenly Scorpion's expression was somewhat solemn, and he didn't even bother to correct these great Yao Beasts' address.
He just stared intently at the black cocoon.
He didn't know what existed within this black cocoon.
Although the aura was already extremely faint, it was this extremely faint aura that caused his Bloodline to involuntarily tremble slightly.
It was as if he had encountered an extraordinary Bloodline.
Heavenly Scorpion focused his mind, and his Yao power flowed into his pupils.
Buzz~
Two rays of light shot out from his pupils and landed on the black cocoon.
"Flying fish?"
Heavenly Scorpion's heart stirred.
He used his methods and finally penetrated the black cocoon's concealment, seeing the existence within.
Inside the cocoon was a black-gray fish Yao Beast, only a few zhang in size, with a pair of wings.
Mysterious black patterns covered the fish Yao Beast's body, seemingly containing powerful energy.
However, the condition of this several-zhang-sized winged flying fish was not good at this time.
It had already fallen into a deep sleep, and its aura seemed extremely weak.
"What kind of fish Yao Beast is this...?"
"Wings, black patterns, fish body..."
Heavenly Scorpion withdrew his gaze, pondering in his heart. With his knowledge, he couldn't recognize it for a while.
He had clearly never seen it before, but it also seemed to evoke a faint impression.
"Wings, fish body..."
"This... how is it a bit like... the Kunpeng Clan...?"
Heavenly Scorpion's heart was startled.
When this thought emerged.
He couldn't shake it off anymore.
"How did a Yao Beast of the Kunpeng Clan appear here?"
"And, it's also so heavily injured."
Heavenly Scorpion's expression changed, and he secretly thought that something was amiss.
A great Yao Beast of the Kunpeng Clan had drifted here and been seen by him.
It seemed that a vortex was subtly forming, sweeping towards this Five-Colored Marsh.
"Disperse, all of you. No one is to spread word of today's events."
Heavenly Scorpion's expression became stern, and his authoritative voice, accompanied by the vast Yao power of his Late Nascent Soul Stage, reverberated in the minds of the various poisonous beasts gathered there.
"Yes, Second Master."
Seeing Heavenly Scorpion's serious expression, the Yao Beasts speculated endlessly, but relying on themselves, they couldn't penetrate the black cocoon and see its true appearance.
With Heavenly Scorpion's solemn command, the Yao Beasts dared not be negligent, quickly agreed, and scattered.
"Rise."
Five-colored Yao power surged around Heavenly Scorpion, covering the black cocoon.
His figure transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the depths of the Five-Colored Marsh.
"Bathing Snow, something has happened."
In the depths of the marsh, outside the five-colored light pillar.
Heavenly Scorpion, carrying the black cocoon, stopped. His Yao power vibrated, and his voice passed through the five-colored light pillar, entering the bottom of the marsh enveloped by the five-colored light pillar.
"What is it?"
A moment later.
From within the five-colored light pillar, a cold female voice emerged.
"You'd better see for yourself."
Heavenly Scorpion's expression was serious, unlike his usual frivolous demeanor.
As his voice fell, Heavenly Scorpion's Yao power retracted, revealing the black cocoon within.
The next moment.
Two rays of light shot out from within the five-colored light pillar and landed on the black cocoon.
"Hmm?"
"What kind of Yao Beast is this?"
A cold, surprised voice rang out from within the five-colored light pillar.
Immediately, the five-colored light pillar dispersed, revealing a five-colored Scorpion Beast much larger than Heavenly Scorpion.
On it, the power of Soul Transformation circulated.
Demon Venerable Mu Xue was puzzled.
She had never seen such a type of Yao Beast.
"It's a Kunpeng."
Heavenly Scorpion transmitted his voice.
These three short words, however, caused Demon Venerable Mu Xue, who was always calm and composed, to tremble in her heart.
"Kunpeng... one of the five supreme Bloodlines of the Demon Domain, a massive power with more than one Heavenly Yao Beast overseeing it..."
Although Demon Venerable Mu Xue had never seen these five supreme Bloodlines, such rumors, even in this Eastern Barrens, were widely circulated.
As a member of the Yao Race, she naturally had heard of these five great races.
She just hadn't expected to see one of them under such circumstances.
"Is this truly a Kunpeng?"
Demon Venerable Mu Xue's gaze fell on the inside of the black cocoon, and five-colored light surged around her, clearly indicating her extreme unease.
"It should be correct."
Seeing that Heavenly Scorpion was not joking, Demon Venerable Mu Xue already believed him.
She knew Heavenly Scorpion's character; although he was usually frivolous, at critical moments, he knew what was important.
Such a major event would naturally not be joked about.
"How..."
"Quick... take me away..."
Demon Venerable Mu Xue muttered to herself, but before she could finish, a thought emanated from the cocoon, entering the minds of the two Five-Colored Great Scorpions.
"They are... coming to chase..."
This thought was intermittent, but its content caused Demon Venerable Mu Xue and Heavenly Scorpion's expressions to change again.
Who would dare to lay hands on the Kunpeng Clan?
Doubt arose in Heavenly Scorpion's heart.
At this moment, Demon Venerable Mu Xue looked at him, her eyes flashing.
Heavenly Scorpion understood; it was a sign that she didn't want to get involved in such matters.
Demon Venerable Mu Xue's Yao power surged, preparing to send the black cocoon away.
"If I die... you will also have no way out... they will not let you go..."
"Take me away, and there will be a glimmer of hope..."
The existence in the black cocoon had clearly sensed what was about to happen.
However, it was clearly severely injured and unable to do anything, only able to threaten verbally.
But this light threat caused the body of the Demon Venerable to stiffen.
She dared not continue to do anything.
"What should we do?"
Demon Venerable Mu Xue was somewhat at a loss.
Although she was a Deity Transformation Demon Venerable, compared to an existence like the Kunpeng, she was still far from enough.
This was a legendary existence, and those who dared to act against such an existence were naturally not simple either.
Matters at this Rank were no longer something a small Deity Transformation Demon Venerable like her could interfere with.
Demon Venerable Mu Xue subconsciously looked at Heavenly Scorpion.
Heavenly Scorpion's heart tightened, and a spontaneous surge of heroic spirit rose from his heart.
This was an uncontrollable emotion that naturally arose when facing someone he liked.
"I have a path to the east."
"Follow me."
