Chapter 208: Refining the Demon Beast Scroll
A unique silver mark appeared on Gray’s forehead.
It activated the bloodline power in its body, which exerted pressure on the will apparitions of the three demon beasts.
When Gray tried to subdue these will apparitions previously, it felt a huge resistance.
But this time, it was extremely smooth.
Almost without any resistance, Gray completely suppressed the will apparitions of the three demon beasts.
“Success!”
Xu Hujun looked relieved.
Xu Ning also felt relieved and immediately cut off his connection with the cyan wolf.
His face was pale and his aura was a little weak.
He quickly took out a healing pill and swallowed it.
At the same time, Xu Ning felt the giant bead below him tremble violently.
Xu Ning quickly jumped down.
As for Gray, it floated in the air. The will apparitions of the three demon beasts first made a submissive gesture to Gray before diving into the giant bead again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The giant bead shrank rapidly, becoming the size of a pigeon egg.
The space in the Demon Beast Scroll then began to tremble.
“Xu Ning, be careful!”
Xu Hujun saw that after Xu Ning summoned the cyan wolf apparition, his aura had greatly weakened, so he quickly protected him.
Bang!
Afterwards, Xu Ning felt a huge force pushing him.
Soon, he and Xu Hujun were thrown out of the Demon Beast Scroll.
“Gray!”
Xu Ning was a little anxious.
“Don’t worry, Young Master is taking control of the Demon Beast Scroll, there is no danger!”
Xu Hujun quickly said.
In just a few seconds, Gray appeared in the outside world as well.
The round bead the size of a pigeon egg floated in front of Gray’s forehead.
“The Demon Beast Scroll has been completely refined!”
Xu Hujun said, “Xu Ning, thank you. If it weren’t for your methods just now, Young Master wouldn’t have been able to subdue the will apparitions of those three demon beasts.”
Gray picked up the bead with its two front claws and went to Xu Ning.
It handed the bead to Xu Ning.
“For me to take a look?”
Xu Ning understood Gray’s intentions.
Gray was unable to mimic human voices like Xu Hujun, so it couldn’t communicate with him directly.
Xu Ning held the round bead in his hand and placed it in front of his eyes.
“Is this the Demon Beast Scroll…”
Xu Ning saw a small but amazing painting in the round bead.
Forests, mountains, rivers, demon beasts…
The space inside the Demon Beast Scroll had been completely transported into the round bead.
“Although this Demon Beast Scroll is damaged, its value is still very high.”
Xu Hujun was a little excited.
“What is the specific power of this Demon Beast Scroll?”
Xu Ning asked.
“The Demon Beast Scroll can raise demon beasts. And any demon beast that is placed in the Demon Beast Scroll can be controlled.”
Xu Hujun said, “Although the number of demon beasts in the Demon Beast Scroll has decreased, if we release all of them, we can still create a beast tide that will engulf half the state.”
‘Mass attack weapon…’
Xu Ning nodded silently.
“Moreover, this Demon Beast Scroll can also be used as a hiding place.”
Xu Hujun continued, “If you encounter a strong enemy, you can enter the Demon Beast Scroll to hide. The Demon Beast Scroll can even isolate its aura, and at critical moments, it can save lives. It can even be used as a surprise attack.”
“Good stuff.”
Xu Ning felt that the life-saving aspects of the Demon Beast Scroll was more precious.
“Put it away, Gray.”
Xu Ning returned the Demon Beast Scroll to Gray.
Gray opened its mouth, bit the bead, and swallowed it.
Gray was a void beast. Therefore, it also had an independent space in its body, similar to a storage space.
Although living creatures could not enter it, the independent space was much larger than the space in a storage ring.
“By the way, Xu Ning.”
Xu Hujun asked, “How did you summon the will of that dao realm demon beast just now?”
‘The will apparition of a dao realm demon beast…’
This was similar to Xu Ning’s previous guess. The cyan wolf apparition had an extraordinary background.
“Through these two dao weapons.”
Xu Ning took out the copper knife and the copper fan.
Xu Ning did not need to hide any secrets from Xu Hujun and Gray.
“I just obtained these two dao weapons, and they are extremely strange. A portion of the will apparition of the cyan wolf is sealed in each dao weapon. As long as I activate it, the will apparition can come out, using my true qi, blood qi, and attribute power as nutrients. And as long as I can constantly provide it with nutrients, I can borrow its power.”
Xu Ning said, “However, if I don’t control my strength well, I might be sucked dry by the cyan wolf’s will apparition.”
“Hiss…”
This was the first time Xu Hujun had heard of such a dao weapon. “How strange…”
“If I’m not wrong, these two dao weapons should come from State Wansheng.”
Xu Hujun said.
“Maybe…”
Xu Hujun had the same idea as Xu Ning.
However, Xu Ning could not find out about their origins from Gu Juan and Zhang Tong.
“Senior Xu Hujun, now that the Demon Beast Scroll has been refined, where are you going with Gray?”
Xu Ning asked.
“I plan to take Young Master back to the land of our race and stay there for a few days. There are still some remaining items left by our race there, and I have to help Young Master retrieve them. After that, we will go to the Yuelan Sect to find you.”
Xu Hujun said, “If what you said is true, when the people from State Wansheng arrive, the seventeen states of the Abyss North will be in chaos. In such chaos, we should be close to one another so we can help each other.”
“Okay.”
Xu Ning agreed with Xu Hujun.
Now that the Demon Beast Scroll had been refined, there was no risk of it being exposed.
When the time came, Xu Hujun and Gray would hide in the Demon Beast Scroll, and he could carry them with him. If they encountered any trouble, they could face it together.
“In this case, farewell.”
Xu Hujun was decisive.
Gray let out a howl and pressed its forehead against Xu Ning’s body.
It knew that they would not be apart for long, so it was not too depressed.
Gray then climbed onto Xu Hujun’s head.
Xu Hujun spread its wings and turned into a stream of light, disappearing from Xu Ning’s vision.
“Okay, Little Gray, you can come out now.”
After Xu Hujun left with Gray, Xu Ning looked at the rocks in the distance and shouted.
Then, he saw Little Gray timidly sticking its head out, flapping its wings and flying in front of Xu Ning.
After being ejected from the Demon Beast Scroll, Xu Ning sensed that Little Gray was nearby.
However, after sensing the bloodline pressure from Xu Hujun and Gray, Little Gray didn’t dare to move.
As a demon beast, the suppression between bloodlines was terrifying.
“You don’t have to do this next time, Xu Hujun and Gray are our partners.”
Xu Ning patted Little Gray’s head. “The next time we meet, you can get closer to them.”
Little Gray let out a soft cry.
“When I return to the sect, I will specially refine a batch of medicinal pills for demon beasts to cleanse your bloodline and increase your advancement limit.”
Xu Ning said.
After hearing this, Little Gray cheered and flew back to the Yuelan Sect.
…
A few days later.
Inside the Yuelan Sect.
Over the past few days, the disappearance of Elder Gu Juan attracted the attention of the sect.
Sect Master Mi Xingye personally investigated this matter.
On this day, Xu Ning was called to the Sect Master Peak by Mi Xingye alone.
“Xu Ning, did you kill Elder Gu Juan?”
After making the arrangements, Mi Xingye went straight to the point.
When Xu Ning saw Mi Xingye’s serious expression, he realized that Mi Xingye must have found some clues.
Xu Ning weighed his options and finally decided to tell the truth.
His current strength could be said to be invincible below the dao realm. Even if Mi Xingye wanted to clean up the mess, he had the strength to escape.
“I didn’t kill him.”
Xu Ning said, “In order to kill me, Elder Gu Juan used a trump card that consumed his own strength, and he died from over-exhaustion.”
Xu Ning was speaking the truth, so he was confident.
When Mi Xingye heard this, he frowned and stared into Xu Ning’s eyes, as if he wanted to confirm if Xu Ning was lying.
“Are you speaking the truth?”
Mi Xingye’s eyes were sharp.
“Every word is true.”
Xu Ning did not back down.
“Then why did Elder Gu Juan wish to kill you?”
Mi Xingye asked again.
“Firstly, it is for revenge, secondly, it is to vent his anger.”
Xu Ning explained, “He suspected that I killed Fang Jie so he wanted to take revenge. He also wanted to vent his anger because he was jealous that you took in two good disciples.”
After hearing this, Mi Xingye did not seem surprised. After hearing the latter half of the sentence, the corner of his mouth even moved slightly.
“So, did you kill Fang Jie?”
Mi Xingye’s tone was still cold.
“I killed him, but I killed him in self defence. Fang Jie was the one that wanted to kill me first.”
Before Mi Xingye could speak, Xu Ning said, “Master, you know that I am from State Feiyun, but do you know how I came to State Jifeng?”
“How?”
Mi Xingye frowned.
“I was abducted.”
Xu Ning finally had enough strength, so he didn’t plan to hide the truth.
He explained that he had experienced a life-and-death crisis, escaped from the Bao family, and was targeted by Fang Jie after taking his revenge on them. Elder Gu Juan who suspected him then tried to assassinate him.
Except for some key details, Xu Ning told the truth.
“I didn’t expect this…”
This time, Mi Xingye’s expression finally changed.
After hearing this, he fell silent.
Xu Ning stood aside and waited for Mi Xingye’s response.
After a long time, Mi Xingye looked up and glanced at Xu Ning. “Elder Gu Juan sent a confidant to the Bao family and State Feiyun to investigate, that’s why he suspected you.”
“And I have already dealt with Gu Juan’s trusted subordinate.”
Mi Xingye’s words surprised Xu Ning.
This meant that Mi Xingye had already gotten rid of trouble for him before he even interrogated him.
“Master…”
Xu Ning was a little moved.
“Don’t misunderstand, I am the master of the sect. His trusted deacon has done many things that violate the sect rules, but he was protected by Gu Juan all this time. I only dealt with him just to maintain the sect rules.”
Mi Xingye waved his hand with a serious expression.
“Sect Master is fair and impartial, I admire you.”
Xu Ning cupped his fists.
“Xu Ning, I was really worried that you killed Gu Juan. Fortunately, you only retaliated in self defence. Otherwise, I would have to expel you from the sect.”
Mi Xingye looked at Xu Ning and suddenly sighed.
His eyes were full of concern for his disciple.
