Chapter 2222: Chapter 2220: The Nine Lotus Reappears

Centered around their group, the surroundings were shrouded by a powerful Formation, cutting off any inspection by Divine Thought.

Elder Hei Wu sat on the main throne, holding a pearl in his left hand. This pearl was none other than one of the three Divine Pearls the Black Xuan Bird Clan used to track the Nine Lotus Demon Fire.

Hiss!

They saw Elder Hei Wu slap his chest with his right hand, open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the black pearl in his hand, then move his hands to form seals, a Secret Technique unfolding as he let out a low growl: "Reveal!"

This time Elder Hei Wu also had no hope left. Ever since he arrived at Mo Yun Divine City, it had been almost several months. During these months, no matter how he employed Secret Techniques to search for the Nine Lotus Demon Fire, he simply could not find its whereabouts, as if the Nine Lotus Demon Fire had vanished into thin air.

Moreover, the pressure coming from the clan side grew greater and greater, to the point that he could barely bear it.

Especially two days ago, the Clan Leader had already given him a final ultimatum: if within three months he still could not find any information on the Nine Lotus Demon Fire, then another person would be sent over, and what awaited him would be even more severe punishment.

Seeing Elder Hei Wu once again deploy a Secret Technique to search for the Nine Lotus Demon Fire’s trail, the Black Xuan Bird Clan members present didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Each of them secretly thought in their hearts, this must be the three thousand six hundred and eighty-ninth time, right? After such a long period, if Elder Hei Wu still doesn’t succeed, his vital blood must be almost drained dry by now, right?

Just when none of them held out any hope, the black pearl suddenly lit up, a ray of multicolored light rising, and then an image appeared before their eyes.

They saw Master Water Spirit pressing down on a direct-lineage woman of the Death Netherworld Snake Clan, furiously pa-pa-pa, unleashing all kinds of powerful moves from his hands one after another, blasting toward that woman of the Death Netherworld Snake Clan opposite him.

Under his bombardment, that woman of the Death Netherworld Snake Clan let out all sorts of shrill screams, constantly begging for mercy, but Master Water Spirit acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, still doing as he pleased, all kinds of powerful techniques roaring down upon her.

The battle continued. Even though no sound came through, the scene before their eyes once again shocked everyone present, including Elder Hei Wu.

"What the hell, it actually turned out like this! Could it be that the Nine Lotus Demon Fire is on his body?" Such a thought simultaneously appeared in the hearts of everyone present.

Previously, when they used the black Divine Pearl to observe, the opponent was always wearing a black robe and a black bamboo hat, either alone or riding on a gray bear, and they had never seen his true face.

Now that they could see the opponent’s true appearance clearly, Elder Hei Wu and the others all showed excitement. They no longer wasted time; each of them formed hand seals, using water-imprint spell arts to record the image of Master Water Spirit’s appearance, and even the woman under him was recorded along with him.

A dozen seconds later.

The scene inside the black pearl vanished, returning once again to its previous pitch-black state.

"Bastard! I finally found you!" Seeing this, Elder Hei Wu said excitedly.

He looked down at the Black Xuan Bird Clan members below, his face cold as he asked.

"Have you all recorded it?"

"Reporting to elder, we’ve all recorded it!" A group of True Spirits replied respectfully.

"Very good! To dare scheme against our Black Xuan Bird Clan, and even snatch away the sacred artifact of our Black Xuan Bird Clan—this debt must be thoroughly settled with them!" Elder Hei Wu said, killing intent soaring.

With a flip of his right hand, he slapped the storage pouch at his waist, taking out a golden millstone from it. Strange tadpole-like characters were carved all over the millstone, and a mysterious, ancient aura emanated from those enigmatic tadpole marks.

This was a long-distance Sound Transmission Compass. Each activation consumed an astronomical amount of resources, unaffordable for anyone without deep cultivation.

They saw Elder Hei Wu flip his right hand and take out one million top-grade Spirit Stones, tossing them into the black Compass in his hand.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The next moment, the black Compass in his hand trembled, all those mystical tadpole characters lighting up. Countless black spiritual lights shot out from those characters, devouring all the top-grade Spirit Stones he had thrown in, and then a black beam of light jumped. After more than ten breaths, it gradually revealed the face of a middle-aged man with chiseled features and a tiger-like aura.

"Hei Wu, you used a cross-realm Compass to transmit to this Clan Leader from afar—have you found the trail of the Nine Lotus Demon Fire?" The Clan Leader of the Black Xuan Bird Clan asked coldly.

"Reporting to Clan Leader, Hei Wu has already found the whereabouts of the Nine Lotus Demon Fire. At this moment that thief is within Mo Yun Divine City. However, we are currently weak in numbers; if we wish to take down that thief, I’m afraid we cannot do it! I ask Clan Leader to dispatch the clan’s army over." Hei Wu said respectfully.

"Is this true?" The Clan Leader of the Black Xuan Bird Clan’s eyes lit up.

"Hei Wu guarantees it with his head; there is absolutely not a single false word!" Elder Hei Wu said.

"Good! You’ve done well! I’ll record this merit for you. Once this matter is accomplished, I will reward you all according to your contributions! Now I will immediately contact the Clan Leader of the Nine Heavens Profound Phoenix Clan and have them throw their full strength behind you to help you snatch back the Nine Lotus Demon Fire! Remember, no matter what kind of chaos you cause in Mo Yun Divine City, this Clan Leader has only one demand: you must seize the Nine Lotus Demon Fire and bring it back!" The Clan Leader of the Black Xuan Bird Clan ordered.

"Yes, Clan Leader! Hei Wu accepts the order!" Hei Wu replied respectfully.

... ℯ

On the other side.

Within the new residence of the Water Spirit Snake Clan, inside Master Water Spirit’s palace.

Zhang Xiaohao once again unleashed the Power of Reincarnation, encircling the World-purifying Heavenly Fire. Looking at Master Water Spirit in front of him, the corner of his mouth curled up in a playful smile.

"Old loach, you can stay here and play slowly." Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

Swoosh!

His body flickered and vanished from where he stood, as if he had never appeared at all. When he appeared again, he was already within the forbidden area of the Death Netherworld Snake Clan.

The Reincarnation Heavenly Eye unfolded, scanning the surroundings.

Across the endless stretches of palace complexes, Death Netherworld Snake Clan members were everywhere, a vast black mass. Judging by this, even if there weren’t five hundred million, there were at least two or three hundred million troops. Among these Death Netherworld Snake Clan members were many powerful True Spirits. The strongest among them was their ancestor, a True Spirit in the Mahayana Extreme Realm Peak. His terrifying aura, even without being intentionally released, radiated from his body.

"What deep foundations." Zhang Xiaohao put away the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye and commented seriously.
