Chapter 717: Three Thousand God-Slaying Technique
The Shark Empress was stunned for a long time after hearing Xu Nian's words.
However, Xu Nian strode out of the grand hall with Xuan Hong.
Full of doubts, the Shark Empress couldn't understand what Xu Nian was planning.
Just as she was about to catch up to ask him, she saw that the Shark Emperor had already positioned himself by Xu Nian's side.
"What's the situation, any success?" the Shark Emperor asked.
"No success, the Empress doesn't know Lie Tian's whereabouts," Xu Nian said, shaking his head helplessly.
The Shark Emperor nodded.
This, he had already verified many times.
Even he was convinced that the Shark Empress had no idea where Lie Tian was.
Thus, when he heard Xu Nian voice these words, he knew that Xu Nian had gained nothing this time.
"Next, I will need Your Majesty to release a message stating that someone is looking for him on behalf of the Desert Emperor Scorpion to deliver an item; I believe he will show himself once he hears this news," Xu Nian said to the Shark Emperor.
"That's not a problem. As long as he is still in our Shark Clan's territory, the moment he shows up, I'll immediately be aware. He won't be able to escape even if he grows wings," the Shark Emperor's eyes shone as he spoke.
He immediately ordered the Red-Eyed behind him to handle this matter.
Xu Nian nodded as well.
"There's another thing I need help with from the Shark Emperor. I want to visit the Demon Wind Cave, but I don't know its location. Could you send a Sea Demon to guide me?" Xu Nian spoke again.
"There's no problem with that. Brother Xu Nian, would you like me to arrange a few beauties from our Shark Clan as well?" the Shark Emperor said with a smile.
"No need for that, I prefer the quiet. Just have someone guide me there," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
"Very well, then. Someone come here! Our honored guest is going to the Demon Wind Cave. You take him there and serve him well!" the Shark Emperor ordered on the spot.
Xu Nian nodded and immediately followed a Sea Demon to leave.
From beginning to end, Xu Nian did not glance at the Shark Empress even once.
However, the Shark Empress's eyes were fixated on Xu Nian the entire time, a thoughtful shade in her gaze.
"What exactly did he say to you?" the Shark Emperor suddenly turned his head and asked the Shark Empress in a cold voice, his expression extremely stern.
"He didn't say much, just asked about Lie Tian's whereabouts. But I know nothing," the Shark Empress replied.
"Bitch!"
The Shark Emperor slapped the Shark Empress's face and then walked straight into the grand hall.
He also called for Bai Ling, whom Xu Nian had met earlier.
"Bai Ling, you keep a watch on this Xu Nian in secret. If he does anything unusual, report to me immediately," the Shark Emperor instructed Bai Ling.
"Yes!" Bai Ling took the command immediately and left the grand hall.
The Shark Empress, overhearing this conversation, also showed a glimpse of worry in the depth of her eyes.
Thinking of her pearl earrings still in Xu Nian's possession, she was in turmoil.
...
Xu Nian and Xuan Hong were led by an Emperor Level Sea Demon towards the Demon Wind Cave.
The reason Xu Nian wanted to visit the Demon Wind Cave was that he had his own purpose.
He believed that Lie Tian certainly hadn't gone far and might even be within the Demon Wind Cave itself.
Of course, Xu Nian knew that the Shark Emperor wouldn't just trust him.
He would definitely send someone to covertly follow him.
"Kid, what are you planning to do? Why can't I fathom your next move? Are you truly going to aid this Lie Tian?" Xuan Hong transmitted his voice to Xu Nian.
Since entering the Shark Palace, he hadn't said a word.
Yet now, Xu Nian's actions puzzled him.
Could it be that Xu Nian really intended to kill the Shark Emperor?
But even if he were to kill the Shark Emperor, why head to the Demon Wind Cave?
"I wasn't keen on getting involved in this mess, but since it's beyond my control, since I've gotten myself involved, I might as well see it through!" Xu Nian transmitted back.
"But killing the Shark Emperor is not so easy; we've seen his Sea Demon army before, and that was just a part of it," Xuan Hong couldn't help but chide via telepathy. "I'll tell you, these Sea Demons can execute combined attacks. With ten thousand Demon Emperors striking at once, let alone you, even I might not be able to withstand it."
Xu Nian, however, just smiled.
"Although the Demon Clan's million-strong army is somewhat difficult to deal with, it's not without a solution. Rest assured, in ten days' time, I'll show you the outcome of this matter," Xu Nian said through telepathy.
Xuan Hong heard this and said no more.
But in his heart, he still didn't believe it.
Xu Nian could not possibly withstand the Demon Clan's million-strong army by himself.
Let's not speak of anything else; just the Ten Great Generals were extremely difficult to handle.
And Xu Nian's strength, at the moment, was at best that of the Pseudo Void Realm's Supreme Battle Emperor.
Of course, this Pseudo Void did not mean that Xu Nian could break through to the Cave Void Realm as soon as he entered the Cultivation World.
It only meant that Xu Nian's current combat power was similar to that of a Cave Void Realm powerhouse whose realm was suppressed.
When Xu Nian went to the Cultivation World, he would still have to climb up from the Zifu step by step.
After all, Xu Nian had never cultivated in that realm before.
And there was a fundamental difference between him and those who were originally of the Cave Void Realm and whose strength had been suppressed.
Therefore, Xuan Hong did not believe Xu Nian could stand against the entire million-strong Sea Demon army.
But Xu Nian didn't care at all.
He had the air of having a card up his sleeve.
In fact, at that moment, Xu Nian truly couldn't achieve it.
But after his conversation with the Wentian Demon Sovereign, he gained great confidence.
Soon, Xu Nian and his party arrived at the Demon Wind Cave.
The Demon Wind Cave wasn't large but had the appearance of an underwater cave dwelling.
This Demon Wind Cave, usually guarded by many Sea Demons, was now deserted.
After sending away the Demon Emperor who had guided them,
Xu Nian led Xuan Hong into the depths of the Demon Wind Cave.
Although the cave didn't boast a gilded splendor, it was still extremely lavish.
The Demon Wind Cave was not big, housing a total of thirteen cave dwellings.
Xu Nian directly chose one as his residence and immediately entered a closed-door cultivation state.
Xuan Hong was left feeling frustrated.
Xu Nian had come to this Demon Wind Cave to enter seclusion.
What exactly did he intend to do?
...
But at that moment, Xu Nian had already sat down on the cushion in the cave dwelling.
"Senior Wentian, let's begin!"
Xu Nian said to the Wentian Demon Sovereign through telepathy.
"Kid, are you sure you want to do this? The God Slaying Technique is not something to be trifled with," the ephemeral figure of the Wentian Demon Sovereign appeared before Xu Nian. "Although the more you kill, the greater power you gain, once you start cultivating it, if your mind isn't strong, you might descend into the Demon Path and become a remorseless killer."
"I'm sure!" Xu Nian replied without any hesitation.
"Good, since you've made up your mind, I will teach you this Cultivation Secret Technique," said the Wentian Demon Sovereign. "It is a technique that I obtained from the ruins of an ancient Divine Court. There are three parts in total, and I only have the first foundational part right now. But if you successfully cultivate it, becoming a Killing God is definitely within your grasp."
The Wentian Demon Sovereign then pointed a finger at Xu Nian's forehead.
"Ah!"
Xu Nian immediately let out a painful scream.
This information was too much!
His head could scarcely bear it!
