1293 The Holy King of the Serpent
In the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Continent, in the vast and infinite soul beast forest.
Somewhere deeper than the seventh-level area.
This is a strange place, and the trees within a radius of hundreds of miles are all gray and black, as if a huge picture scroll has been accidentally splashed with a cup of ink, and a place has been dyed black.
This area, called the 'Black Styx Mountain Range' by the Soul Beast Realm, is a place where even seventh-level soul beasts dare not approach, and even eighth-level soul beasts dare not make a second.
Because within this Black Styx Mountain Range, there is a ninth-level soul beast living there.
One of the truly strongest in the Soul Beast Forest.
Today, in this 'beastly inaccessible' Black Styx Mountain Range, there are two uninvited guests, and they are also two soul masters.
This place is already a place that is almost untouchable in the soul master world, even ordinary Emperor Realm powerhouses may be difficult to penetrate to this point, but these two people have hardly been hindered all the way, because their strength is that it is difficult for those seventh-level soul beasts to find their whereabouts, even if they pass by the territory of the eighth-level soul beasts on the way and are discovered, under the terrifying pressure of the two, those eighth-level soul beasts dare not easily block the way.
However, it is obvious that these two people are not here to cause trouble, even if they are strong, but if they cause too much movement here, the countless soul beast powerhouses they have attracted are not so easy to deal with, so these two people have been extremely low-key from the beginning of entering the soul beast forest until they arrived at this Black Underworld Mountain Range, and they have not stopped on the way, nor have they made any moves against any soul beasts.
Eventually, the two men stopped in front of a tall, pitch-black mountain peak in the very center of the Black Stygian Mountains.
Even in broad daylight, after approaching this pitch-black peak, it feels as if it is in the middle of the night, and the fog on the mountain is also black, shrouding the entire mountain from time to time, mysterious and strange.
After the two of them stopped in front of the mountain, the black fog around them rolled over as if they had spirituality, but when they were a foot away from the two of them, they couldn't get in an inch, and the black fog kept circling around them, and even faintly made a strange friction sound, which made people's scalps tingle.
Under the dim light, two old faces were revealedβit was none other than Shangguan Xiong Yan and Gu Silence!
These two people, who had just led people to attack the Heavenly Fortune Sect but returned with a feather, only a few days later, why did they come here again?
......
Shangguan Xiong Yan glanced at the black mountain mist that permeated the surroundings, and frowned slightly: "What a strange aura...... Is this the cave of the Snake Saint King?"
Gu Silent Annihilation retracted his gaze and looked around, and muttered: "It shouldn't be wrong, according to the records of my sect's classics, the Snake Saint King should indeed be here, although two hundred years have passed, but judging from the environment here, the Snake Saint King has not moved his residence...... This mountain is the place where my master met the Holy King of the Snake back then. β
Shangguan Xiong Yan's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest to pay close attention to his surroundings, and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you can invite this Hellsnake Saint King?" This is the Soul Beast Forest, if the other party has bad intentions, I'm afraid it is not impossible to leave the two of us behind." β
Gu Silence's pupils shrank slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of hesitation, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we must persuade him to go with us!" After all, he is my master's contract soul beast, if my master is killed by Shen Pojun and them in that inheritance cave mansion, it will not be good for him, besides, he may not be able to resist the temptation of that ninth-level soul crystal......
"......" Shangguan Xiong Yan was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Since you are here, of course you have to give it a try, if it is as you said, it is the best, if the Snake Saint King turns his face and does not recognize people, you and I join forces, it should not be difficult to retreat." β
Having said that, Shangguan Xiong Yan had already made up his mind in his heart, if the situation was really dangerous, then he would directly leave behind the seriously injured Gu Silence and flee.
Gu Silent Xuan nodded, but a trace of gloom flashed in the depths of his eyes, how could he not guess Shangguan Xiongyan's thoughts, but he didn't say anything, he looked up at the pitch-black mountain peak in front of him again, no longer hiding his aura, and powerful soul power fluctuations emanated.
"Buzz ......"
At this moment, the black mountain mist between the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be greatly stimulated, and it rolled violently, as if a sleeping beast had been woken up, and a cold and terrifying aura erupted from the peak!
"You two...... Sneakily came to my territory and disturbed my cultivation...... If you can't give me a reason that satisfies me...... Just die here!!"
An eerie hoarse voice that made people's scalps tingle suddenly sounded in the ears of Shangguan Xiong Yan and Gu Silence, causing their expressions to change slightly at the same time.
Shangguan Xiong Yan's pupils almost shrank to the size of a pinpoint, and he almost couldn't help but run away immediately, although the coercion he felt was not so strong that it was difficult to resist, but it still made his hair stand on end, and a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart. Gu Silence's appearance was even worse than Shangguan Xiongyan, he was already seriously injured, but at this moment, his heart was shaken, his face instantly turned pale, and the corners of his mouth even overflowed with blood once!
"The Snake...... Seniors! The younger generation is gone, and the ancient soul refining soul is my master! I came here this time to give a big gift to my seniors!"
Gu Silence forcibly suppressed the churning qi and blood, gritted his teeth and said respectfully, although he knew that the other party's realm was not necessarily higher than his own, but he had to call himself a 'junior', because the other party's 'seniority' was indeed higher than him, and even if he was not injured, most of the time he was not the opponent of the other party.
Because, the other party is a ninth-level holy beast that has advanced to the holy realm for two hundred years, and at the same time, it ...... It is also a contract soul beast that respects the ancient soul refining soul of his master!
"Give me a big gift?" huh...... The Snake Saint King's voice was full of undisguised disdain and mockery, he seemed to think for a moment, and then continued, "Well, I would like to hear what kind of 'big gift' you want to give me...... Come in and talk. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the dark mountain fog suddenly rolled out on both sides, giving way to a straight passage leading to the mountain wall in the middle of the mountain peak in front of him, and it was vaguely seen that there seemed to be a huge cave there.
Shangguan Xiong Yan and Gu Silent Annihilation glanced at each other, and then flew over at the same time.
......
Falling into the hole, the two of them walked forward for about 100 meters, feeling that they had probably reached the center of the mountain, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and the originally dim light was enhanced several times, and a spacious space like a palace appeared in front of them.
The large space is filled with all kinds of furniture, but what makes people's scalp tingle is that all of them are made of bones from various animals!
In the center of the main hall, there was a huge white bone seat like a large bed, and on the seat, a black figure seemed to be sitting a little lazily, looking at the two people who walked in playfully.
This is a man with a narrow face, only thirty or forty years old, dressed in a gray-black robe, long hair and shawl, pupils erect, eyes sharp and shiny, making it impossible to look directly.
Even if it was Gu Silence, when he came into contact with this man's gaze, he unconsciously moved away, saluted this person, and said respectfully: "The younger generation Gu Silence has seen the predecessor of the Dark Snake. β
Shangguan Xiong Yan's eyes flickered, but he was not as respectful as the ancient refining soul, but arched his hand without humility or arrogance: "In Xiaguan Xiong Yan, I have seen the Dark Snake Saint King. β
The Snake Saint King sat up slightly straighter, looked at the two of them with interest with a pair of vertical pupils, and said with a smile: "There is no need to talk nonsense, just tell me what you mean." β
Gu Silent Annihilation originally wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but have a slight expression, and then he was silent for two seconds, and then said, "Okay, then the junior will say it directly." Senior Snake of the Dark Snake, we have obtained the whereabouts of the legendary Extreme Saint Inheritance, and we hope that the seniors can go with us!"
"Oh?Extreme Saint Inheritance?!" The Snake Saint King's eyes flashed, and he sat up completely straight, but then he sneered and said, "What does the Extreme Saint Inheritance have to do with me? It's your soul master's thing, it doesn't have any effect on me, do you just want me to do such a useless thing?"
Gu Silent said: "The predecessors don't know, my master went to the place where the extreme saint inheritance is located two hundred years ago, but he hasn't returned since then, and now he should be trapped there, and now there are two saint-level powerhouses who will also go there soon, they are enemies, if the master encounters them, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Hmm, you said the Ancient Soul Refining?" the Snake Saint King's eyes froze, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in surprise, "He was trapped there two hundred years ago......?"
His reaction was just a little surprised, and then he looked at Gu Silent Annihilation playfully, and said, "You mean, if Gu Refining Soul encounters those two enemies, most of them will be killed, so let me help him?" Do you think I'll be afraid of the backlash of the soul contract?"
Hearing the other party's indifferent tone, Gu Silence couldn't help but jump in his heart, and the secret way was indeed so.
More than two hundred years ago, when the ancient refining soul was still at the peak of the late stage of the Emperor Realm, in order to seek a breakthrough, he found the Snake Saint King who was also at the peak of the late stage of the Emperor Realm (of course, the Snake Saint King did not have this title at that time), and the two sides concluded a soul contract in order to advance to the Holy Realm, and finally both successfully advanced. But after that, the two sides parted ways, and the Snake Saint King had no interest in the affairs of the Soul Master Realm.
And Gu Silence has also heard the Ancient Soul Refining Soul mention that the Snake Saint King should have some kind of secret method that can reduce the constraints between soul contracts, even if he falls, the Snake Saint King is afraid that it will not be affected much, and now it seems that this is probably the case.
Before coming, Gu Silent Annihilation had considered this, and at this time, he no longer bothered to talk about the soul contract between Gu Soul Refining and the Snake Saint King, but directly threw out another more valuable bargaining chip.
"Senior Snake Snake, according to the information sent back by my master not long ago, he found the body of a soul beast in the Extreme Holy Cave Mansion, which is likely to be the True Dragon Saint King who disappeared thousands of years ago! In addition, among the two saint-level powerhouses who are going to enter the Inheritance Cave Mansion this time, one of them is the Ice Feather Saint King! If the senior joins forces with us, there should be no problem in killing the Ice Feather Saint King, and when the time comes, ...... Seniors can get two ninth-level soul crystals!"
"What?!"
At this moment, the Dark Snake Saint King was finally a little moved, his eyes flashed, and he stared at Gu Silence and said, "You said that the True Dragon Saint King also fell in that inheritance cave mansion?! Now even the Ice Feather Saint King is going to go?!"
Seeing the reaction of the Dark Snake Saint King, Gu Silence Darkness breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party must be tempted, he nodded and said: "It's true! The matter of the True Dragon Saint King is the message sent back by my master himself, and that Ice Feather Saint King, not long ago, there was also specific news that we snatched the Extreme Saint Inheritance, I think it is very likely that he also knows about the True Dragon Saint King, and he will definitely go to the inheritance land as well!"
"Oh, not long ago, you robbed them of information about the whereabouts of the Extreme Saint Inheritance?" the Snake Saint King's eyes narrowed, "and...... Looks like you're still losing?"
Gu Silence's face suddenly became a little difficult to look at, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Although Shen Pojun has just advanced to the Holy Realm, he is a member of the Refining Weapon Sect, relying on the many powerful Horcruxes on his body, I was careless for a while, so I ......"
"Well, defeat is failure, I'm not interested in knowing the details and reasons. The Snake Saint King waved his hand to interrupt Gu Silence's words, and sneered, "However, since you have lost, which means that you don't know the specific location of the inheritance and the situation in the inheritance cave mansion, then what's the point of you letting me out?"
At this time, Shangguan Xiong Yan, who had not spoken, spoke: "At this point, please rest assured that the Snake Saint King, although we do not know the exact location of the Extreme Saint Inheritance now, there will be someone to show us the way......
