Star River Holy King

2No matter what, he had to take a look first. Ye Mingyang decided not to think about these problems for now. As long as he finished reading, the answer would naturally be there.     1

    

He saw the old man in the ruins. In a short while, he had arranged a strange array glyph. Then, he took out something from the bag.    

    

Ye Mingyang looked at the thing in the old man's hand. His pupils suddenly enlarged, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.    

    

Blood Turtle! It was actually a Blood Turtle. Ye Mingyang looked at the Blood Turtle in the old man's hand and started to doubt his own eyes.    

    

He used his hand to rub his eyes and looked at it again. Only then did he confirm that it was indeed a Blood Turtle.    

    

Ye Mingyang had once read an ancient book that described ancient mutants. He had seen descriptions of Blood Turtle. Wasn't this Blood Turtle extinct a thousand years ago? Ye Mingyang thought.    

    

It was said that the Soul Returning Sect had used this item to revive the skeleton of the big ancient demon. He didn't expect that this Blood Turtle would reappear in this world today. There must be some huge conspiracy behind this.    

    

After the old man took out the Blood Turtle from the bag, he revealed a strange smile.    

    

The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the cold moonlight once again sprinkled onto the land like frost.    

    

The cold moonlight imprinted on the old man's pale face, making it look even stranger.    

    

Not long after, the old man placed the Blood Turtle on the array glyph. In an instant, a strange bloody light soared into the sky from the array glyph, and imprinted the entire heaven and earth into a blood red color.    

    

The originally clear and cold moon was now dyed red, turning into a blood moon.    

    

This atmosphere was too abnormal. Ye Mingyang wanted to leave this place. His intuition told him that if he stayed here any longer, he would definitely be in danger.    

    

Ye Mingyang thought for a while and hesitated. After a while, he made up his mind. He wanted to continue watching.    

    

Because the Soul Returning Array and the Blood Turtle were too strange, there would definitely be some danger if he stayed any longer. But there might also be a great opportunity. Ye Mingyang had lived two lives, so his words about risk and reward were proportionate. He understood it better than anyone else. Everyone understood the principle of taking risks to seek wealth.    

    

With this thought in mind, Ye Mingyang no longer had any thoughts of leaving. He continued to hide in the dark, watching everything that was happening in front of him.    

    

Not far away, the old man looked at the soaring blood light. The smile on his face became stronger and stronger. In the center of the Soul Returning Array, a dark colored pill with a trace of gold slowly rose from it.    

    

"Haha... I finally succeeded.    

    

Ye Mingyang narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at everything that was happening in front of him. He had finally heard the first sentence of the old man. What did he mean by 'succeeded'? Ye Mingyang was puzzled.    

    

When he saw the black pill, he seemed to understand something. He suddenly remembered that this pill was the demon core that Moon Swallowing Ape had lost!    

    

But why was there a strand of gold on it? Could it be... A bold idea appeared in Ye Mingyang's mind, and the previous scene was imprinted in his mind. Could it be that the demon core had absorbed the power of the heavenly lightning? Or was it the purest golden lightning in the heavenly lightning?    

    

Ye Mingyang had felt that something was wrong when he first entered the Devil Sect Forest. Why were all the Star Fusion Stage Demonic Beast taken away? Furthermore, this Blue Night Wolf was originally a Demonic Beast that lived in the western region of the Devil Sect Forest. Why did it come to the southern part of the Devil Sect Forest from thousands of miles away today? Also, why was Moon Swallowing Ape's demon core so huge? Normally speaking... The demon core in a Flower Picking Stage's Demonic Beast was only the size of a fingernail. However, Moon Swallowing Ape had a demon core the size of an egg. All of this was too strange.    

    

When Ye Mingyang saw the scene in front of him, he felt as if he had found the answer. He just needed to wait a little longer.    

    

The smile on the old man's face became even more intense as he looked at the demon core. It was as if his old face was distorted.    

    

"Hehe, after preparing for so many years, I finally got you today, my treasure." The old man took the demon core into his hand and carefully held it. Then, he took out a small wooden box and placed the demon core in it.    

    

"Hmph! You ignorant beast! You nearly ruined my plans for so many years!" The old man shouted, but there was no one else here besides him and Ye Mingyang, who had been hiding in the dark.    

    

The old man's tone changed and he continued, "However, since you have done so many things for the old me, I will spare you today. If there is a next time, I will directly extract your intestines and break your bones and refine you into a Demon Puppet."    

    

"Good, very good! Haha..." The old man emitted a piercing laughter.    

    

It was unknown who he was speaking to.    

    

This... Ye Mingyang frowned as he saw the old man talking to himself. He thought to himself, Is this old man crazy? Why is he talking to himself?    

    

But not long after, something appeared in the Soul Returning Array.    

    

Ye Mingyang was a little shocked in his heart. This... Wasn't this the Moon Swallowing Ape who had turned into a green smoke in the heavenly lightning? Why had he appeared in the Soul Returning Array now?    

    

Could it be? Ye Mingyang immediately realized that Moon Swallowing Ape and the old man were in cahoots. From the looks of it, the old man was obviously the master, and Moon Swallowing Ape was the servant.    

    

How could this be? Ye Mingyang was really shocked today. One after another, unimaginable things happened. First, the rolling heavenly thunder caused by the black wolf's advancement. Then, it was the Soul Returning Array and the blood turtle. In the end, he didn't expect this old man to be Moon Swallowing Ape's master.    

    

"Hehe! Today is truly a lucky day. I didn't expect that you would be able to make the black wolf advance. The heavenly lightning that is attracted isn't something that ordinary heavenly lightning can compare with." The old man looked very satisfied. He patted Moon Swallowing Ape's head. He took out something from his pocket and said, "Since you have completed the task I gave you, I will reward you with this thunder treasure." After saying that, the old man threw the Thunder Transforming Grass to Moon Swallowing Ape.    

    

Moon Swallowing Ape held the Thunder Transforming Grass and knelt in front of the old man. Like a little dog, he looked at the old man with a pair of fiery glasses. It was as if he was thanking his master for his reward.    

    

Ye Mingyang looked at the scene in front of him with a cold gaze. He had seen this Thunder Herb before. He also knew that this Lightning Transformation Grass was extremely precious. It was a treasure that could aid the advancement of the lightning attribute Demonic Beast.    

    

No wonder the black wolf had traveled thousands of miles from the west of Devil Sect Forest to this place. It turned out that it was here for the Lightning Transformation Grass on Moon Swallowing Ape's body.    

    

Everything seemed to have surfaced from the surface of the water.    

    

This time, there were no rare treasures that came into being. There was only a huge conspiracy.    

    

The only thing he couldn't understand was why the old man had collected such a heavenly lightning attribute demon core, and why Moon Swallowing Ape had made the old man seem like his master.    

    

What exactly was going on? Ye Mingyang wondered in his heart. Although this had nothing to do with him, his intuition told him that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed.    

    

Ye Mingyang thought for a while and then looked at the old man. Who was this old man? Why did he know about the Soul Recovering Formation that was lost thousands of years ago?    

    

Not far away, the old man had already packed his things. He turned around and left the place. Moon Swallowing Ape watched the old man leave. He immediately followed him. Behind them was the forest that had been turned into ruins by the heavenly lightning.    

    

Ye Mingyang saw that the man and the beast had left, but he didn't follow them immediately. The situation was too strange, and Moon Swallowing Ape's strength was comparable to a Flower Picking Stage warrior from the Human Clan. As his master, the old man must be stronger than the Moon Swallowing Beast. His strength was at least at the Palace Opening realm.    

    

If he rashly followed now and was discovered by them, he was afraid that he would not be able to return alive.    

    

Ye Mingyang thought for a while and decided to walk around the Devil Sect Forest first to see if he could find any clues. If there was any danger, he could withdraw immediately.    

    

Ye Mingyang had already made up his mind at this moment. After a moment, he had already disappeared into the dense forest.    

    

A strange cold wind blew in the dark grey sky. The bright moon was once again covered by the dark clouds.    

    

In the depths of the darkness, a pair of glowing eyes appeared in the darkness. Behind the pair of eyes was a pair of eyes the size of a copper bell.    

    

" Oh? That kid from the Human Clan has left?" A hoarse voice came out from the darkness. It was the old man who had just left. He looked in the direction where Ye Mingyang had left and let out a few strange laughs.    

    

"He's just an ant with the cultivation base of seven major powers. It doesn't matter whether he's killed or not. I hope that he can bring today's incident out and let the world know that the Soul Returning Sect's Daoist Kong Wu has returned."    

    

After saying that, he patted Moon Swallowing Ape's head and revealed a meaningful smile.    

    

"I've been tortured for thousands of years just for today. I must bring out all the things I've lost."    

    

The old man's eyes were burning with blue flames as he looked at the sky.    

    

"Hahahaha..." A strange laughter suddenly rang out and echoed in this world for a long time.    

    

...    

    

After Ye Mingyang left, he walked towards the south of Devil Sect Forest. There wasn't anything unusual here. It wasn't like a few days ago, where there were dead Demonic Beast everywhere.    

    

On the contrary, there were too many Demonic Beast here. Although they were all around the Star Fusion Stage, it wouldn't be too troublesome to deal with them. However, Ye Mingyang was also unable to withstand the massive amount of Demonic Beast. Over the past few days, although he wasn't in any danger, there were still some injuries on his body.    

    

Furthermore, he was almost done eating the rations he had on him, even though the Demonic Beast could also be eaten. However, the taste really didn't dare to flatter him, so he decided to find a place with human habitation and rest for a few days. Then, he continued to investigate.    

    

After another day of running, Ye Mingyang still did not see any villages or towns.    

    

Another two days passed. Ye Mingyang finally saw traces of smoke coming from the mountains in the distance. This made him a little excited. There were traces of smoke, which meant there were people. There were people who meant there was food and clothes to change into.    

    

When Ye Mingyang thought of this, he unconsciously felt refreshed.    

    

"Finally, I don't need to eat this disgusting thing anymore." Ye Mingyang looked at the cloth bag hanging on his waist. This cloth bag contained the food from the past two days. It came from the meat that was cut off from the body of a spotted black python that he killed last time.    

    

Looking at the cloth bag, Ye Mingyang unconsciously felt a bout of nausea. This thing was really too disgusting. At that time, he had never thought that the spotted black python would be so good-looking, but the meat was so hard to swallow.    

    

"Finally, I don't need to eat this disgusting thing anymore." Ye Mingyang directly threw the cloth bag onto the ground. He stepped on it a few times, but did not say anything. He fiercely spat a few times. Then he shouted excitedly, "I'm going to eat!"    

    

Soon, he disappeared into the Seed of Mountains.
