Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 671

Soon enough, many lizards arrived. They bowed to greet their king.

Ghost-clawed Venerable One pointed in front and uttered, “Search!”

With that, the lizards including the 3 high-rank lizards swarmed toward where Ou Yangming was before and began to search using a method distinctive to the Insects. They seemed to remember something after a brief moment, hence they split up and ran in different directions.

In actuality, Ghost-clawed Venerable One was formidable, by which it released its mental conception to search the place as soon as it arrived. Nonetheless, the cloaks made of Fat Antelope's wool were mysteriously useful indeed, such that even a Venerable One could not notice Ou Yangming and Big Yellow.

Therefore, the Venerable One summoned its disciples and their disciples here.

Ghost-clawed Venerable One naturally did not expect them to find the d.a.m.n culprit here because it thought that the fellow had definitely fled and left the range that its mental conception could cover. It only hoped that its disciples and their disciples could find some clues, which would help it to find the real culprit.

The lizards in the distance dispersed and searched everywhere that seemed suspicious to them. As for Ghost-clawed Venerable One, it sat on the ground like a cornerstone and naturally released its violent aura as though it was a fiend that descended to destroy the world.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow curled up their bodies. They seemed to have merged with nature, where they stayed still and dared not release their auras no matter what happened around them.

Fat Antelope's cloaks could conceal their auras but if they simply moved around and caught Ghost-clawed Venerable One's attention, even G.o.d would not be able to save them.

They looked at each other quietly at the moment and understood each other through the look in their eyes.

Before this, Ou Yangming had overestimated Ghost-clawed Venerable One's potency as much as he could, but the time it took to arrive was still out of his expectations.

According to his estimation, the powerful being would take at least 10 to 15 days to show up. There would have been enough time for him to set up everything, and he could have left with Big Yellow after creating confusion.

Who knew, Ghost-clawed Venerable One suddenly appeared and messed up his plan.

In particular, when Ou Yangming sensed the Venerable One's immensely violent aura at this time, he was rather regretful.

If the Venerable One stayed without leaving at all, what would he and Big Yellow do?

“Roar…”

All of a sudden, an enormous roar was heard coming from the distance as one of the lizards alerted everyone.

Instead of moving its humongous body, Ghost-clawed Venerable One simply looked in that direction with a grave look in its eyes.

“Heh, Ghost-clawed, what are you doing here instead of staying in the Ghost Cave?”

A hearty laugh was heard coming from that direction. It was like Heavenly Thunderbolts that struck the lizards' ears, causing them to shake. The 3 high-rank lizards were the only ones that managed to withstand it.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow were very much affected too. They did not move an inch, but their faces took on ghastly expressions.

'Judging from the sound, the newly-arrived powerhouse' probably on par with Ghost-clawed Venerable One. But doesn't he know that he'll make the others suffer too by shouting so loudly?'

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow had a terrible impression of this figure.

Ghost-clawed Venerable One raised its head and whistled strangely. Following that, all of the lizards got up and ran toward it as they were frightened out of their wits.

“Heh, Ghost-clawed, don't panic. If I wanted to kill them, I would've done it long ago.”

Ghost-clawed Venerable One ignored the powerhouse's mockery. It spoke only after all of the lizards returned to it, “Yuqi, aren't you afraid of dying if you leave the Beast King Sect recklessly?”

“Dying?” A long laugh was heard in the void, then a human's figure appeared in the s.p.a.ce in front of that spot. “I have no idea what will cause my death. Heh, Ghost-clawed, did you mean that I'll die because of you?”

Ghost-clawed Venerable One responded with a straight face, “Yuqi, I have serious business to attend to, so please leave if you have no business here.”

Yuqi the Venerable One cupped his hands and said with a smile, “What a coincidence—I have serious business to attend to too, but I wonder if it'll conflict yours.”

Ghost-clawed Venerable One turned its body slightly. It was clearly rather afraid of Yuqi the Venerable One. If it was unnecessary, Venerable Ones would be wary of each other and rarely had direct conflicts. However, Ghost-clawed Venerable One could not bother about that anymore if Yuqi the Venerable One crossed its bottom line.

“Hmph, Yuqi the Venerable One, what exactly do you mean? Is the Beast King Sect going to fight me until the very end?”

Yuqi the Venerable One pulled a long face and replied to it, “Ghost-clawed, given that you set foot on the Humans territory when you're the Insects' Venerable One, you're the real provoker, aren't you?”

Ghost-clawed Venerable One somewhat relaxed a little after it heard what Yuqi the Venerable One said. “Hmph, Yuqi, I don't believe that you didn't receive any news.”

“What news?” Yuqi asked.

“9 of my followers—The Twelve Walkers—were killed here,” Ghost-clawed Venerable One answered, “I must find the murderer and punish him heavily. Anyone that tries to stop me will become an enemy that I'll fight against to the very end.” It did not speak loudly, but it sounded so determined that it could not be ignored at all.

Yuqi the Venerable One scoffed furiously. “Ghost-clawed, your Twelve Walkers committed a heinous crime in the Humans' territory; they slaughtered hundreds of people from 2 of our towns. Heh, if you'd like to take revenge for your followers, who will avenge the deaths of the hundreds of people?”

Ghost-clawed Venerable One was unconcerned. “How could the lives of merely hundreds of ordinary humans be mentioned on equal terms with that of my Twelve Walkers?”

Ou Yangming, who was hiding in secret, clenched his fists with strong killing intent.

Nevertheless, he knew very well the huge disparity between him and the Venerable One, thus he remained still despite his rage.

'I can't kill you—a boss—but I can kill your disciples and their disciples.

'The Twelve Walkers, heh, heh…'

“Ghost-clawed, since you're going to pester us endlessly, I have no choice but to fight you here.” Yuqi the Venerable One's face darkened. He stated coldly, “If you lose, get the h.e.l.l back to the Ghost Cave and never set foot on the Humans' territory.”

“Alright, since you're courting death, I'll fulfill your wis.h.!.+” Ghost-clawed Venerable One laughed sinisterly with a fierce look in its eyes. It moved abruptly, then its mountainous body soared into the sky and turned into a tiny black spot in the blink of an eye.

Yuqi the Venerable One sneered. He glanced at the lizards around and released his overflowing momentum as he ordered, “Stay here and don't move around, or you'll all be executed!” Subsequently, he turned around. It did not look like he moved, but his body released a golden light, which zoomed straight into the clouds like an arrow leaving a bow.

After a brief moment, surging momentums could be sensed coming from the clouds in the sky.

A fight between Venerable Ones was far beyond the imaginations of ordinary people. The Venerable Ones did not fight on the ground because they were afraid of destroying their surroundings; it was an unspoken rule that was established among Venerable Ones.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow looked at each other. They were deeply in awe when they sensed the imposing auras from the sky.

'So this is how real powerhouses are,' they thought. When the Venerable Ones released their powers without restraint, their mightiness was beyond their imaginations.

Even so, Ou Yangming turned to look at the lizards.

All of the lizards were gathered here at this moment. The 3 most potent high-rank lizards looked up at the sky. They had the highest cultivation base among the lizards so while they could not see what exactly was going on in the sky, they were incredibly attracted to the rippling auras in the air. Perhaps they would apprehend something from the repercussions, allowing them to break through their limits and become spirit beasts at the peak.

Needless to say, it was only an ideal wish, so the chances of it happening were the same as an ordinary person surviving a fall from a cliff and ended up obtaining peculiar herbs or secret martial arts manuals.

Having said that, the high-rank lizards would not give up as long as there was a possibility.

Other than the high-rank lizards, the other lizards could not comprehend anything at all, but they dared not move as they were oppressed by the Venerable Ones' auras.

Ghost-clawed Venerable One could ignore Yuqi the Venerable One's threat, but they dared not do that.

The other lizards lay on the ground together and shuddered with fear as they sensed the repercussions of the Venerable Ones' auras. They prayed that the bitter period would be over soon.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow did not have it any better. Even though there were only ripples of the Venerable Ones' auras, they found it hard to withstand them. That said, the young fellow's eyes glowed as he shook his hand and retrieved the Poisonous Gas Formation Board, as well as the poisonous pill's spirit.

Big Yellow widened its eyes at once. It almost forgot itself and barked.

'What is he doing? Is he thinking of going against these lizards in this situation?'

Afterward, the big yellow dog watched as Ou Yangming s.h.i.+fted his body to inch closer toward the group of lizards and placed the formation board on the ground. The poisonous pill's spirit was not a legitimate living being so while it was affected by the Venerable Ones' auras, the pressures that it withstood were insignificant as compared to the ones endured by the rest.

The centipede-like poisonous pill's spirit glanced at Ou Yangming, then it released its poisonous gas through the formation board.

Through its accurate control, the poisonous gas spread bit by bit and enveloped all of the lizards.

Big Yellow gritted its teeth and looked at Ou Yangming as it cursed internally.

'People say that dogs are extremely daring, but my courage is not worth mentioning at all as compared to his!

'Humans are the ones that are extremely daring!'
