2223 Dragon-blooded Huang Clan’s Plan, Make a Deal With the Dragon Hunters, The Start of a Good Show
After Chu Kuangren acquired the Divine Weapon Seal and witnessed his triumphant seizure of two first places on two leaderboards, he returned to the Pan Gu Sect.
However, he sensed something strange, and a sudden thought rushed into his mind.
Someone was following him.
Even though Myriad Arms City was filled with spies, and it was not news that they followed him, this new one showed hostility. It was weak, but he sensed it nevertheless.
“There are so many spies around, and you chose to be impatient,” Chu Kuangren muttered.
…
Huang Weiwei was one of the Dark Dragon Guards serving under the Dragon-blooded Huang clan.
The Dark Dragon Guards, as its name suggested, were spies that lurked in the dark and intelligence agents that collected intel for the Huang clan.
She was also the leader of the organization, and her other identity would be Huang Jiulong’s Daoist companion.
When she found out Huang Jiulong died in the Dragon Tombs, she was devastated. Her husband was the first human in the Dragon King Universe who awakened the Infernal Dragon Blood and would eventually grow into a superior being who would rule over the dragons and the humans.
However, he was dead.
After she recovered from her sorrow, she took the initiative to watch Chu Kuangren in Myriad Arms City.
Knowing that Chu Kuangren might be the killer of her husband, she was enraged, but she knew she was no match for him.
She followed him simply to keep an eye on him.
Even though she concealed her emotions well enough, her sliver of hostility was exposed under Chu Kuangren’s sharp senses.
“Huh? He disappeared?”
Huang Weiwei was shocked when she suddenly lost Chu Kuangren.
In fact, not only Chu Kuangren but even Lan Yu disappeared.
“No, he must’ve noticed me!”
Huang Weiwei’s eyes widened in fear. She had to leave immediately.
When she turned around, her surroundings started to change.
Countless restriction seals appeared and formed a closed space.
“A formation?”
Huang Weiwei then thought of the refresh on the leaderboards.
Chu Kuangren ranked first on the Formation Leaderboard, so he was able to set up the formation without her notice and seal her escape route. His formation skills were indeed extraordinary.
Then, a white figure appeared before her. It was Chu Kuangren.
He looked at her calmly.
“Die!”
Huang Weiwei knew she could no longer escape. Her eyes turned frosty as she released her domineering dragon qi. There were even dragon roars echoing in the air.
“You really are from the Dragon-blooded Tribe,” Chu Kuangren said.
He swung his sleeve and dispersed the domineering dragon qi.
The impact blasted Huang Weiwei away.
Chu Kuangren channeled his Great Dao energy into a massive hand to capture her. He asked, “What is the Huang clan trying to get from me?”
“Don’t expect me to spill a word!” Huang Weiwei warned him.
“It’s okay. I’ll investigate myself.”
He tightened his grip.
“Crack!”
Huang Weiwei’s bones cracked, and her limbs exploded into a pile of meat.
An excruciating cry echoed in the space, but it did not escape the formation.
Then, a dark golden glimmer appeared in Chu Kuangren’s eyes. The Infernal Dragon Eye was activated, and a powerful dragon aura erupted.
Huang Weiwei’s dragon blood grew restless like it was afraid of the aura.
With the domineering pressure from the Infernal Dragon’s aura and her bones crushed, the excruciating pain left her dispirited.
Chu Kuangren seized the chance and channeled his soul energy. He used the Soul Scouring Technique, which he had not used for a while, to search the woman’s memories.
The Soul Scouring Technique was an Embodier technique, but after he and Lil Ai modified it, it became a Great Dao-level technique.
It could be considered as the epitome of the soul-searching technique.
Soon, all kinds of information rushed into his mind.
As he ransacked Huang Weiwei’s memories, her spirit grew weaker, and her consciousness faded. She started to drool uncontrollably and become a retard.
Chu Kuangren waved his hand and shot an ember of Infernal Dragon Flame at her.
The flame engulfed her whole and burned her to the cinders.
“You can reunite with your husband in the afterlife,” Chu Kuangren said.
He knew who Huang Weiwei was after searching her memories.
“Dragon-blooded Huang clan, so this is what you people are planning…”
The Huang clan had sent people to spy on him. Other than waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, they were also trying to seize the Dragonslayer from either him or the Dragon Hunters.
They knew the Dragon Hunters tried to negotiate with Chu Kuangren and might have a chance to retrieve the Dragonslayer.
They wanted to reap benefits from the deal.
“Interesting. Lan Yu, after we go back, if the Dragon Hunters come again, inform me,” he said.
A smile was stretched across his face.
“I understand,” Lan Yu said with a nod. She knew someone would have to suffer again when she saw the smile on Chu Kuangren’s face.
The Dragon Hunters and the Huang clan should not target Chu Kuangren.
…
After some time, Wang Yi and his Dragon Hunters visited again.
When they learned Chu Kuangren beat Dai Tian in a weaponsmithing contest, they revered him even more.
However, the Dragonslayer was still their priority, and they would not simply give up.
They visited Chu Kuangren to make the final offer.
Wang Yi thought Chu Kuangren would not see them, but strangely, Chu Kuangren invited them in.
“Brother Wang, we meet again.”
“Brother Chu, I’ll skip to the point. The Dragon Hunters really want to be friends, so this is our final offer. On top of our previous offer, we are willing to add another one hundred million Great Dao Sources, so please return the Dragonslayer to us.”
Chu Kuangren pondered. “Two hundred million. Two hundred million more Great Dao Sources and I can consider giving you back the Dragonslayer.”
“Uh…”
Wang Yi was delighted because the negotiation was progressing, but he concealed it with a bitter look.
Seeing that, Chu Kuangren smirked and said, “If it’s too much, forget about it.”
“Lan Yu, see our guests out.”
“Wait, wait! I’ll take it!”
Wang Yi bit the bullet and handed over ten Yin and Yang Rings.
Chu Kuangren glanced at the rings and smiled.
A Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, all kinds of Immortal Metals and Immortal Herbs, more than a billion Primordial Crystals, and several hundred million Great Dao Sources were quite a good deal.
“Where is the thing?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll give it to you now.”
Chu Kuangren took out a bronze box.
Wang Yi was excited when he sensed the energy inside. He opened it up and checked the Dragonslayer carefully.
“Don’t worry. I’m a reputable person and a man of my word. This is the real Dragonslayer. I don’t need to trick you guys with a fake one.”
The other Dragon Hunters pursed their lips.
They knew Chu Kuangren was ranked first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard, so he could have forged a fake just to trick them.
Wang Yi checked the blade carefully and nodded. “This is indeed the Dragonslayer.”
“Elder, are you sure?”
“I am certain.” Wang Yi nodded.
The Dragonslayer was an Ultimate Supreme Treasure, which was difficult to replicate or forge.
Besides, Wany Yi had checked it with a secret technique of the Dragon Hunters.
It was indeed the Dragonslayer.
“Brother Chu, this marks the end of our deal. If I have the chance, I will visit you again,” Wang Yi said with a fist salute.
Then, he picked up the Dragonslayer and left with his men.
It was difficult to keep an Ultimate Supreme Treasure in the storage space, and not everyone was as skilled as Chu Kuangren, who could store thousands of Great Dao Mountains and the entire Great Dao Lake, in spatial techniques.
“The show has begun,” Chu Kuangren said with a grin.
“Master, the news is out,” Lan Yu said.
“Great.”
