874: Chapter 875 Heading to the Central Region of the Demon Clan

Sky-Rending stepped into the Immortal Cave and presented the sealed Storage Pouch with both hands: "My Lord, this is the apology gift from the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Clan. My father asked me to hand it over to you..."

"No matter." Yao Delong didn't even open his eyes, his voice flat and rippleless. "Just keep it. The items within might be of use to you. To me, they are useless."

Sky-Rending's heart skipped a beat! This... these were treasures that even he would covet! My Lord actually didn't care at all?!

"Th-thank you for your grace, My Lord!" Sky-Rending's voice fluttered with excitement.

"You only need to pay close attention to the nine spiritual materials on the list I gave you," Yao Delong reminded him.

"Reporting to My Lord, your subordinate has mobilized all forces to search. Currently, there are leads on the 'crimson sun soul fruit' and 'nine nether earth core milk,' and we are working hard to confirm them!" Sky-Rending answered quickly.

"Mm." Yao Delong nodded slightly. "If you work for me, I naturally won't treat you poorly. Once I find the last few auxiliary herbs for that nine aperture spirit nurturing pill, I can refine it for you."

The nine aperture spirit nurturing pill!

Hearing those five words, Sky-Rending felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head! This Heaven-Defying Divine Pill could nourish and strengthen the Origin of the Primordial Spirit! For his Breakthrough into the Yao Emperor realm, it was simply timely assistance! No, it was the grace of recreation!

"The grace of recreation from My Lord! Sky-Rending could not repay it even with ten thousand deaths! I will certainly do my utmost to find the items My Lord requires!" He knelt on one knee, his voice carrying heartfelt excitement and fanaticism!

"Rise." Yao Delong's expression remained calm. "Sky-Rending, prepare the transmission formation. Tomorrow, I will set out for the central part of the continent."

"Yes! My Lord! Your subordinate will go and prepare immediately! I will ensure everything is foolproof!" Sky-Rending rose and solemnly accepted the command.

Xue Li, who had been waiting quietly by the side, suddenly had an uncontrollable, brilliant light burst from her glazed eyes upon hearing the words "central part of the continent"! Her small body trembled slightly with excitement!

The center! The Sacred City of All Yao! Qingqiu!

She looked at Yao Delong's seated figure, her eyes filled with immense hope and firm conviction! That conviction was like a fire burning in the endless darkness, illuminating her entire world!

Hundreds of thousands of miles away, the ancestral land of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Clan—Ice Soul Valley.

Cold moonlight shrouded this valley covered in ten-thousand-year-old profound ice all year round. Deep within the valley, in a magnificent palace carved entirely from giant ice crystals, the atmosphere was as oppressive as a frozen pond.

Old Ancestor Silver Moon sat high upon a massive throne carved from a single piece of soul ice, his face so gloomy it could practically drip water. The magnificent Silver Moon robes he wore now also seemed to be covered in a layer of lingering gray aura. Below, Silver Extreme Overlord and a group of Core Disciples of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Clan were prostrating on the ground as quiet as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Shame! Defeat! Heart-wrenching pain!

These three emotions gnawed at the heart of this mid-stage Yao Emperor like venomous snakes.

He had planned for a long time, intending to use thunderous momentum to capture that little girl from the Heavenly Fox Clan to use as a bargaining chip in a deal with the Chaos Mang Clan, in exchange for precious resources that would allow the Bloodline of the entire Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Clan to take a step further! And the result?

A meddler had appeared out of nowhere!

A mysterious powerhouse of unknown Origin, with bizarre methods and a Physical Body so incredibly tough it defied logic!

Not only did he forcibly ruin his good plans and make him lose face, but he also drew in that madman, the Mountain-Splitting Hou Beast Emperor!

At the thought of the Mountain-Splitting Hou Beast Emperor descending upon the Howling Moon Sacred Mountain like a primordial god of savagery, nearly tearing down the carefully arranged mountain-protecting formation over a minor disagreement, and forcing him to empty the clan's treasure vault just to barely appease the other's wrath, Old Ancestor Silver Moon felt a sharp pain in his chest! Those treasures given away as compensation were the foundation accumulated by his Howling Moon Celestial Wolf Clan for a thousand years!

"Hmph!" A cold snort, suppressing endless fury, broke the dead silence.

"Silver Extreme Overlord!" Old Ancestor Silver Moon's cold voice was like an icicle, stabbing toward the leading Great Yao King below.

"Your subordinate is here!" Silver Extreme Overlord trembled and hurriedly responded.

"Investigate for me!" Old Ancestor Silver Moon's eyes flashed with a sinister and vicious light. "At any cost! Use all secret contacts! Find out for me who that mysterious person who ruined my great plans is! Exactly which race and which lineage does that monster belong to?! Is he a descendant of the Kunpeng? Or a variant of Chaos?! I want to know all of his Origins!"

"Yes! Old Ancestor!" Silver Extreme Overlord hurriedly accepted the command, though his heart was bitter. That mysterious person's Demonic Power attributes were extremely strange; there was simply no way to start the investigation!

"And!" Old Ancestor Silver Moon's voice grew even colder. "Keep a close eye on Lietian Peak! Especially that mysterious person! Where he goes, what he does, who he contacts... I want to know everything! Without missing a single detail!"

The resentful light in his eyes almost condensed into substance:

"Once my elder brother 'Silver Sun' breaks through his seclusion and steps into the Yao Emperor realm... for today's humiliation, this seat will surely make him repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold! And that little fox... the monk can run but the temple can't! The Sacred City of All Yao... hmph!" That final cold snort was filled with bone-deep hatred and unwillingness.

"Your subordinate obeys! I will see to it immediately!" Silver Extreme Overlord did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately bowed and withdrew to arrange his men.

Lietian Peak, the Great Transmission Formation.

The ancient Formation Plate was crafted from unknown dark-gray demonic bone, engraved with countless complex and profound silver runes that flowed with faint spatial fluctuations. Around the formation base were embedded dozens of Medium Grade spatial Spirit Stones emitting pure spatial energy.

The Yao King Sky-Rending stood respectfully by the formation and gave a deep bow to Yao Delong: "My Lord, the transmission formation is ready. The nearest coordinates this formation can reach is Wan'an City under the jurisdiction of the Qilin Clan in the central part of the continent. That is one of the transportation hubs of the central region and is quite prosperous."

"Wan'an City... Qilin Clan..." Yao Delong nodded, map information flashing through his mind. This was indeed a good starting point.

"On this journey, My Lord must be extra careful." Sky-Rending's tone was sincere. "The central region is a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons where powerhouses emerge in large numbers; it is far from what my Lietian Peak can compare to." He paused, his eyes carrying a hint of expectation. "As for the spiritual materials My Lord requires, your subordinate will search with all my might. If there is news, I will definitely inform you through a secret method at the first opportunity!"

"Mm." Yao Delong gave a faint response and, carrying Xue Li—whose eyes were equally filled with expectation—on his shoulder, stepped into the center of the transmission formation.

Buzz—!

Yao King Sky-Rending did not dare to be negligent and immediately activated his Demonic Power, injecting it into the Formation Plate. In an instant, all the silver runes on the Formation Plate seemed to come alive, bursting with a blinding silver light! A powerful and stable spatial force instantly enveloped the man and fox within the formation!

A flash of light!

The top of Lietian Peak instantly returned to peace, with only the residual spatial fluctuations proving the transmission that had just occurred.

After only a few breaths of daze.

The scene before Yao Delong and Xue Li suddenly changed!

Clamor! Prosperity! Majesty!

A torrent mixed with various strange Demonic Qi, spices, delicacies, and the waves of clamor instantly assaulted their senses!

They appeared on an unimaginably huge transmission platform. The material of the platform beneath their feet was of a higher grade, glowing with a warm jade-like luster, and the engraved runes were even more complex and exquisite. Looking around, a flash of surprise also crossed Yao Delong's eyes.
