Chapter 403: Chapter 279: One of the Five Peaks, Xiao Ren

Translator: 549690339

Duan Xinhe realized that the incredibly powerful Qingzhe Dragon had already awakened from the god’s innards deep underground. His face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly jumped onto the back of the ninth rank Gluttonous Insect Monster.

This Gluttonous Insect Monster had an impressive ability to dodge attacks. The falling rock and dirt layers did not bury it, and Duan Xinhe managed to escape from the burying underworld, jumping into the underground tunnel.

The Underground Tunnel is an infrastructure beneath the city, and is significantly more sturdy. As the power of the Qingzhe Dragon erupted, these tunnels shook but did not cave in.

As Duan Xinhe controlled the ninth rank Gluttonous Insect Monster to enter the sewer, Mo Ye and two Soul Pet Masters from the Soul Covenant arrived.

“Duan Xinhe!” Su Xinyi immediately spotted Duan Xinhe and the Gluttonous Insect Monster that had just darted past him and his expression brightened a fraction.

The Zhe Dragon egg had always belonged to the Soul Covenant. The Soul Covenant’s people had come to Li City with the intention of obtaining the wild Qingzhe Dragon, so they had to kill Duan Xinhe; otherwise, the Zhe Dragon egg would end up in the hands of others.

The two of them paid no heed to the continuous tremors in the underworld. After all, the Qingzhe Dragon was not something they could deal with. Their mission was simply to kill Duan Xinhe.

As they recite the soul contract spell, Su Xinyi and Song Bai both summon their Demon Spirit type Soul Pets. The speed of the ninth-stage Demon Spirit type Soul Pet was not inferior to the invisible Gluttonous Insect Monster. After a brief moment, the two of them were about as swift as the wind and lightning in the complex underground tunnel system.

Xiao Ren, the leader of the Soul Covenant, stood quietly at the crossroads of the underground tunnel. At this moment, the man was as calm as a black iron statue, exuding a cold and hard aura, akin to metal.

“You two, run as far as you can.” Xiao Ren’s voice was as heavy and forcefullike the strike of steel.

Xiao Ren’s words were of course directed at Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng. The siblings seemed relieved to know that the Qingzhe Dragon was about to emerge, and they hastily summoned their own soul pets, planning to escape from there.

“Don’t you two think you’ve outsmarted us. Once I’ve got control of this Qingzhe Dragon, I’ll deal with you two.” Seeing the siblings acting as if they’ve outsmarted him, Xiao Ren could not help but scoff.

Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng’s faces paled slightly. They hadn’t expected Xiao Ren to unmask them.

“Let’s go…” Ye Wansheng gritted his teeth. He knew that arguing was futile now; escaping was the wisest choice.

The underground tunnel shook more and more violently, and it was evident that some sections would soon collapse. Ye Wansheng and Ye Qingzi moved quickly. They managed to find a well opening and emerged onto the surface of the West Street District.

However, even though they had reached a safe location, the siblings were not looking well. Ye Wansheng looked grim because of what the Soul Covenant’s strongman, Xiao Ren, had said earlier.

It’s clear that Xiao Ren had recognized them. They had just fallen into the tiger’s mouth, and had the Qingzhe Dragon not awakened when it did they would surely have fallen under Xiao Ren’s control.

What concerned Ye Qingzi was not only what Xiao Ren had said, but also Chu Mu who was still deep in the Old Site Hall. The underground disturbance was quite significant; the old sites in Li City must have been almost completely buried, and Chu Mu had certainly not managed to escape. If he was suffocated to death by the burial…

“This Xiao Ren, he indeed has a dog’s nose. He managed to detect us like this. Anyway, we have to get away from here. ” Ye Wansheng said to Ye Qingzi.

Ye Qingzi paused. She was somewhat reluctant to leave immediately: she purposely found a question to ask: “Who is this Xiao Ren?”

Ye Wansheng looked at Ye Qingzi strangely. He thought Ye Qingzi should know about Xiao Ren, but she acted as if she didn’t know.

“Xiao Ren, Bin Xian, Tian Mang, Zi Deng, and our master were known as the ‘Five Peaks of Youth’ twenty years ago. Among them, Xiao Ren was the youngest. At that time, his fame among them was quite ordinary. The reason he was considered one of the ‘Five Peaks of Youth’ was due to his strength surpassing his peers by several levels. He used to be on good terms with our master. I think not long ago, he came to visit our master on behalf of the Soul Covenant. He has even seen both of us.”

“I thought this fellow had long forgotten what we looked like. Besides, it was years ago, and I am sure our appearances have changed since then. But he still recognised us…” Ye Wansheng said.

Actually, Ye Qingzi was getting worried about Chu Mu’s safety and didn’t want to leave right away, so she kept asking questions.

Ye Qingzi was already aware of what Ye Wansheng was saying about Xiao Ren. Xiao Ren was indeed a legendary character in the soul pet world. His age was no hindrance because of his mighty power. Even during his youthful years, he would often challenge strong souls of the middle-aged generation and always won with high odds.

The Soul Covenant had always been able to train some Soul Pet Masters who were considered abnormal. Xiao Ren, who reached the pinnacle of the soul pet world before the age of forty, stood out among them – his most satisfactory soul pet was undoubtedly the Featherwing Tri-Skull Beast!

“Stop asking. I know what you’re thinking. Even if you’re worried and unwilling to leave, we still have to find a safe place. You really think that Qingzhe Dragon is only as large as one or two buildings?” Ye Wansheng quickly saw through Ye Qingzi’s thoughts. “Dongqing seems to be leading people over here, we should head over to him. That should be safer.”

Ye Qingzi nodded. She urged the Battle Court Black Beast to run towards the direction where Dongqing was coming from.

Yet, just as Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng were about to leave, the ground under their feet suddenly sank!!

There was no warning whatsoever. Almost the moment Ye Qingzi and Ye Wansheng fled from this area, the ground fell dramatically, and dozens of houses collapsed with a thunderous boom!

Dongqing, who was riding the Cliff Feather Bird in the sky, had an expansive view. From his angle, he could clearly see a horrifying hole appearing in the patch of the earth within a radius of nearly a hundred meters. The earth was sinking as if it had been smashed by a giant meteor, causing everyone to gasp in shock!

“The Qingzhe Dragon, the Qingzhe Dragon is about to emerge!!”

Those strong ones behind Dongqing were the middle-aged generation of experts from the major powers, who came to kill Duan Xinhe. Almost every one of them was a Soul Lord, controlling several eighth and ninth-rank commanders. They had no problem dealing with Duan Xinhe.

However, having them confront the exceedingly formidable Qingzhe Dragon was undoubtedly trying to crack a rock with an egg. The strength of the Qingzhe Dragon was something every power in Li City had witnessed, and they didn’t know how many lives they had to sacrifice just to injure the Qingzhe Dragon…

“Everyone retreat, do not act rashly!” shouted the leaders of the major powers to their members.

The Qingzhe Dragon’s destruction power was incredibly strong. One misstep could lead to heavy casualties. Without an authentic powerful being directly opposing it, anyone else didn’t even have the qualifications to approach it!

“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The dragon’s roar from deep inside Li City resonated, causing the entire city to tremble.

Following this horrific roar, from a bird’s eye view, one could see numerous astonishing fissures appearing within a kilometer of that hole!

These fissures continued to spread even further away. Some split across wide streets, some lined up with deep gorges, and some tore houses in half.

The dense and terrifying fissures implied the imminent collapse and destruction of this region of the city, shocking every high-level expert of the major powers.

“Roar roar roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Roar roar roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

After the dragon’s roar, three overlapping roars emerged from underground like thunder. This noise might not be as earth-shattering as the Qingzhe Dragon’s, but also contained a formidable intimidating force.

Furthermore, these triple roars were aimed at the Qingzhe Dragon, indicating that a powerful soul pet was challenging the Qingzhe Dragon!

“What creature is responsible for these triple roars? How dare it provoke the Qingzhe Dragon?” A Business Association expert immediately asked.

Almost everyone present were the middle-aged generation experts from the major powers. Not a single one dared to approach within two kilometers of the Qingzhe Dragon. They could only control their Winged Soul Pets from a safe distance, observing the city district where the crevices were appearing. What puzzled everyone was that even though the Qingzhe Dragon had already awoken, there was still a middle-aged expert who dared to go and confront the Qingzhe Dragon directly!

“Xiao Ren, it must be Xiao Ren. That triple roar just now must have been his Featherwing Tri-Skull Beast!” A well-informed middle-aged expert stated.

“Mr. Xiao is indeed valiant!”

“Indeed, the people from Soul Covenant are beyond comparison. If it were other powers, no one from the middle-aged generation would dare to contend with the Qingzhe Dragon.”

Inside the underground tunnel, when the huge Featherwing Tri-Skull Beast appeared, its steel-like body already crammed the narrow underground tunnel to destruction.

Xiao Ren was still calmly standing there, using his soul sense to perceive the agitated land underground.

He could feel that the Qingzhe Dragon had awakened. He had intentionally let his Featherwing Tri-Skull Beast roar to provoke this dragon, but what surprised him was that the attention of the Qingzhe Dragon didn’t seem to be on the Featherwing Tri-Skull Beast, which could pose a threat to it. Instead, it was inexplicably moving quickly in another direction, as if there was something very important there.

“Feather, follow it!” Xiao Ren jumped onto the back of Featherwing Tri-Skull Beast and commanded.

The third skull of the Featherwing Tri-Skull Beast controlled the power of the Rock Type. When chasing the underground-moving Qingzhe Dragon, the Featherwing Tri-Skull Beast also used rock-based skills to move quickly towards the Qingzhe Dragon. (To be continued.
