Chapter 98: Unparalleled Gate

  Just as Shen Xiang was about to leave, a plainly dressed old woman suddenly appeared.

  "Xiao Dao, something has happened in your family and you need to go back!" This old woman was Xiao Dao's master, a powerful warrior at the True Martial Realm!

  Yun Xiaodao looked unwilling, if it wasn't for the fact that he was intimidated by this old woman's strength, he definitely wouldn't have gone back with her. But now he gritted his teeth and followed the old woman as she left.

  "Shen big brother, I'm counting on you this time. Next time, I'll return the favor!" These were Yun Xiaodao's parting words.

  "Shen, little brother, if you think it's interesting, then go ahead, I'm not going to join in the fun, please take care of yourself..." Zhu Rong said, and with a flicker of his eyes, he slipped away quickly. Shen Xiang didn't expect that this fatty could move so fast.

  Shen Xiang hummed a low sound, folded up the map and left Tai Wu Men. The tasks assigned by Tai Wu Men were usually completed jointly by people from one martial arts school, no matter how many went, as long as the task was accomplished it would be considered done.

  The Wáng Lóng mountain range is located in the border area of Tai Wu State, closer to Shòu Wǔ State. Shòu Wǔ State is the territory of the Shòu Wǔ Sect, where there are more demonic beasts and many disciples of the Shòu Wǔ Sect keep them as pets. The martial arts they learn are also related to these demonic beasts.

  Shen Xiang still has a long way to go, but in order to speed up, he uses the Vermilion Bird Fire Wings to fly at night, which allows him to quickly pass through many mountains and forests.

  Ten days passed, Shen Xiang traveled far and wide, finally arriving at a city called Guanlong City. This place was the closest to that dead dragon city, gathering many people. After inquiring, Shen Xiang only then knew why so many people believed in the legend of the Heavenly Dragon Treasure!

  That's because a month ago, many people saw a strange light appearing in the direction of the Dead Dragon Mountains from Guanlong City, and a dragon's roar was heard at the horizon. This omen is indeed very similar to the sign of the Xuan boundary opening.

  After arriving here, Shen Xiang also learned a piece of news related to Taiwu Gate, that is, a martial arts sect called Wushuangmen was merged into Taiwu Gate and integrated with Taiwu Gate. All disciples will enter Taiwu Gate!

  Wudangmen is a first-rate sect, under the top eight super orthodox sects of Chenwu, and it's considered the strongest. It was built in Taiwuzhou along the coast, but overnight, the place was swallowed up by the sea, causing Wudangmen to suffer heavy losses. In order for its disciples to continue developing, the leader of Wudangmen sought the agreement of most of its disciples and eventually merged with Taiwumen.

  The leader of the Twin Gates Sect originally had some connections with the Taiwu Sect, and their martial arts were all derived from the Taiwu Sect. They have always received help from the Taiwu Sect, so returning to the Taiwu Sect is not a bad thing for them, but rather something worth celebrating.

  "Damn it, I came to this place to complete a task, but the Ta Wu Men is holding a grand banquet to welcome the Wu Shuang Men!" Shen Xiang thought to himself, secretly cursing.

  It's also a good thing for most of the Taiwu Gate disciples, as there are many Wuyi Gate disciples, and female disciples are not few. Now, the Taiwu Gate has also revised its rules to accept female disciples, making it easier for the Wuyi Gate to merge with the Taiwu Gate.

  Shen Xiang thought that the inner martial arts institute would no longer be dull and lifeless, if it weren't for Zhu Rong coming, the inner martial arts institute where Shen Xiang stayed would only have two people!

  Shen Xiang stayed in Guanlong City for a few days and recorded many things he had heard about, which were all the contents of his investigation.

  "Two sisters, should I go take a look to see if there's any Heavenly Dragon treasure?" Shen Xiang asked, he had learned that many other sects' True Martial Realm experts had arrived, and as a mere Mortal Martial Realm ninth rank small fry, he estimated he wouldn't even be able to get a glimpse.

  "Go take a look! Although it's impossible to get, broadening one's horizons isn't bad either." Bai Youyou said.

  Su Mei Yao also agreed: "If it's really a mysterious realm, then you can still get something out of it. Just be careful and observe the situation. If anything goes wrong, escape immediately."

  Shen Xiang nodded slightly, at this time he had already completed his task and just wanted to take a look.

  Leaving Guanlong City, Shen Xiang entered a dense forest. He didn't take the main road like others, because he knew that there were still some medicinal herbs in this Wánglóng mountain range, and he wanted to see if he could find good spiritual medicine.

  As he entered the mountain forest, Shen Xiang soon discovered a string of footprints left by a demonic beast. Judging from the size of the footprints, this demonic beast was quite large, which piqued his interest. He had never hunted demonic beasts before, and some of them were known to be able to find spiritual herbs. If he followed the tracks, who knows what good things he might find.

  Shen Xiang followed the footprints and walked on, more than three hours had passed, at this time the sky was a bit dark, but he could still see things in the mountain forest clearly.

  He saw from afar a black lion as tall as a man!

  Shen Xiang had read a book about demonic beasts in the inner courtyard of the palace, and this black lion was an extremely ferocious tenth-grade demonic beast that also had a high chance of advancing to become a spiritual beast, named Dark Hunting Lion!

  "Who?" A cold and clear voice came, Shen Xiang only saw a green-robed woman jumping down from the tree on the dark lion's back. The woman sat on the dark lion's back, her eyes scanning around with a gloomy and arrogant gaze.

  Shen Xiang instantly hid behind a tree, his heart greatly shocked, because just now he saw that the dark lion was eating, and what it was eating were actually humans!

  "It's the Beast Martial Gate, I didn't expect them to use human corpses to feed their demonic beasts!" Shen Xiang thought to himself, although he was far away, but he could see that the clothes on those people were all civilian attire.

  It's too easy for a martial arts sect disciple to capture ordinary people, but Shen Xiang just saw over ten corpses!

  Shen Xiang's fists were clenched tightly, he was a disciple of Tai Wu Men, and the responsibility of Tai Wu Men was to protect Tai Wu Prefecture. Now that the civilians of Tai Wu Prefecture were being fed to the beasts by the people of Beast Wu Men, how could he not be enraged?

  If this gets out, it will surely enrage the entire Taiwu Prefecture!

  Shen Xiang walked out, his face cold and gloomy as he approached the dark lion, staring icily at the woman on its back. The woman was very beautiful, but at this moment Shen Xiang thought she was so ugly!

  "Who are you? Get out of here quickly, otherwise I'll let you and these lowly people become food for Xiao Hei!" The woman shouted loudly, also pulling out a long sword.

  "Shut up, you beast!"

  Shen Xiang saw the dark lion devouring human flesh, a surge of anger rose in his heart, and he suddenly burst out with true energy from the soles of his feet. Shen Xiang borrowed the momentum to jump up, instantly arriving in front of the dark warrior, then flashed out a finger like lightning, with invisible and colorless Qiankun true energy emerging from the tip of his finger, directly piercing into the brain of the dark lion!

  Shen Xiang's move, the Mystic Vortex Finger, had actually utilized the True Energy of Heaven and Earth. With a single finger, he pierced through the Dark Hunting Lion's stiff skull, and blood was gushing out from that small hole.
