Chapter 17
“This is my master’s assessment for Little Master. To see if my Little Master can obtain the Scarlet Flame Python with my help alone.”
“I wonder if you will accept this reason.”
“By the way, the Spirit Eye Python in this nest is attacking many families in Nanyang County. As the ruler of Jiangzhou, shouldn’t your Beastmaster Sect interfere?”
With that, the man in black left in front of the three Beastmaster Sect elders.
After the man in black completely disappeared, Elder Qiu said, “Do you believe him?”
“How is that possible? Everyone in the Great Qian knows that that guy dotes on his children the most. What test? All nonsense.”
“Well for what reason they did this, I’m not sure either. However, a Scarlet Flame Python cub is not enough to make our Beastmaster Sect become enemies with that person.
“Besides, that guy hasn’t emitted a trace of aura from the beginning to the end. It’s obvious that he doesn’t want to fight us. In that case, let him go,” Elder Wu said.
“Fair enough.”
Immediately, the three elders quickly left and rushed towards the Spirit Eye Python Demon Venerable. The black-robed man said something right. As the ruler of Jiangzhou, the Beastmaster Sect naturally could not watch the demon beasts attack the Jiangzhou families.
In the Endless Mountains, beside a stream, the young prince was squatting by the shore, teasing the fish in the stream.
Suddenly, the man in black arrived. The young prince said without turning his head, “How did it go?”
“Young Lord, I did not disappoint you.”
“Alright, let’s go.” A hint of joy appeared on the young prince’s face. Then, he pinched the baby fish in his hand to death and washed his hands with the stream water before leaving with the man in black.
On the way, the man in black looked at the young prince hesitantly. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Young prince, please forgive me for saying too much. Why did you do something unnecessary?”
“You have to know that if our prince’s residence secretly takes action, we can also obtain this Scarlet Flame Python cub. This way, we can save a lot of trouble.”
“Do you know who the father of this Scarlet Flame Python is?” The young prince did not answer the man in black but asked another question.
“Father? There are too many demon beasts with the bloodline of the Scarlet Python. I’m not sure.”
“Let me tell you, this beast’s father is the Scarlet Flame Demon King.” The young prince smiled.
“What?” The man in black revealed a look of disbelief. “How is that possible?! The Scarlet Flame Python and the Spirit Eye Python are mortal enemies. How can they bear children together?!”
“Are you doubting my information?” The young prince paused slightly and glanced at the man in black.
Sensing the young prince’s gaze, cold sweat appeared on the man in black’s forehead. “I wouldn’t dare!”
“It’s best if you don’t dare.” The young prince snorted and continued to explain the situation.
“Although this Scarlet Flame Python might have reached the Demon King level, its bloodline is at the Demon King level. There’s still a clear difference in talent between it and a genuine Demon Prince’s descendant.”
“Take this Scarlet Flame Python for example. Only if my father is a Demon King will I have an 80% chance of becoming a Demon King in the future.”
“As for ordinary Scarlet Flame Pythons, there’s only a 40% chance,” the young prince said.
“But, as far as I know, that Scarlet Flame Demon King is the son of that person.”
“We made an agreement with that person. If they don’t attack the Great Qian, our royal family won’t attack its descendants.
If the patriarch finds out about what we’re doing now, I’m afraid even the king won’t be able to protect you. Is it worth it for a beast that might become a Demon King in the future?” The man in black was a little worried.
When the young prince heard this, he glanced in the direction of Nanyang County. “That’s why we need these guys.”
“This place is filled with the auras of the Beastmaster Sect and the Jiangzhou aristocratic families. You didn’t reveal your aura, so even if that Scarlet Flame Demon King finds out, he will only find trouble with the Beastmaster Sect.”
“Besides, even if things get out of hand, do you think the Patriarch will believe that the Scarlet Flame Python and the Spirit Eye Python are harmonious?”
“Not to mention the patriarch, even that person wouldn’t believe that his son would take a fancy to a Spirit Eye Python. At that time, the patriarch would definitely think that that person deliberately broke the agreement and looked for trouble.”
After hearing the young prince’s plan, the man in black could not help but break out in a cold sweat. This plan was too bold. If it was really exposed, it would be beyond redemption.
“Prince, is this worth it?” the man in black suddenly asked.
“Of course it’s worth it,” the young prince replied without thinking.
Yes, of course, if it was just a Scarlet Python, careful consideration on whether it was worth it would be needed, but if it was matched with Heavenly Poison Fire Gold, everything would be worth it.
The young prince could still remember the words recorded in that ancient book: Heavenly Poison Fire Gold, a fifth-stage rare treasure that can help a Scarlet Flame Python become a King
…
BANG!
Song Family’s Ningdan Patriarch, who had once again withstood the attack of the Spirit Eye Python, was looking into the depths of the mountain range.
Damn it, he had already sensed the aura of many old fellows, but these bastards refused to attack. They planned to watch his Song family be dragged to death by this Spirit Eye Python.
Although the Song family had already received many treasures from the young master, he didn’t want to die if he could survive.
Immediately, Patriarch Song shouted, “How long do you want to watch? It’s just a late-stage Demon Venerable demon beast. If we join forces, we can definitely kill it.”
“If we kill the Spirit Eye Python, our Song family doesn’t want anything from it!”
“Hahaha, Old Song, you’re wrong. How can we let you be killed by the Spirit Eye Python?”
“That’s right, that’s right. We’re just afraid that other demon beasts will barge in. Now that we’ve investigated clearly, we should take action.”
Immediately, Ningdan Venerable Masters emitting terrifying auras appeared one after another. They circulated his spiritual energy and attacked the Spirit Eye Python.
Although the Spirit Eye Python was a late-stage Demon Venerable, it had already lost its mind. Coupled with the fact that it was surrounded by so many Ningdan Masters, it fell to the ground not long after.
Looking at the fallen Spirit Eye Python, the Song family’s Patriarch heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he reluctantly cupped his hands at the other ancestors. “Our Song family owes you all a favor.”
Although it was painful, it was nothing compared to the young prince’s reward.
“Yes? You’ve settled it?”
At this moment, the three elders of the Beastmaster Sect had also arrived. Seeing that the Spirit Eye Python had been dealt with, they immediately circulated their spiritual energy and quickly left.
As elders of the Beastmaster Sect, they would not covet the corpse of this Spirit Eye Python.
Seeing the Beastmaster Sect elders leave, the various Ningdan Masters heaved a sigh of relief. They immediately split up the Spirit Eye Python and distributed the spoils of war.
“Why do you think this Spirit Eye Python is here alone? Where’s the male Spirit Eye Python?”
“Heh, you’re too ignorant. The Spirit Eye Python is extremely sensitive before giving birth. It will stay away from all powerful creatures, even its husband.”
“I see. That certainly gave us an advantage.”
While the many Ningdan Masters were dividing the Spirit Eye Python, in a cold pool five thousand miles away, a fifty-meter-long Scarlet Flame Python slowly raised its head.
