Chapter 581 — The Eccentric Guests Around the Cult Leader
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 4
At the Spirit-Energy Transference Bridge, a young lord with two deer legs stepped out from the radiance, raised his head and looked around, his heart filled with immense shock. He murmured, "This world is far more vast and magnificent than Jingping. Gods and demons are everywhere... That brat actually built this Spirit-Energy Transference Bridge, and it can reach all the way to another world. Truly extraordinary workmanship. That little bastard clearly loves to dabble in this and that, never focusing on cultivation at all. Building this bridge must have cost him an unknowable amount of time—so how has his cultivation and strength still improved so quickly..."
"Chief!"
A guard beside him pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Look at that deer-legged youth. Could he be the one in the painting Cult Leader Shen gave us?"
The Transference Bridge guards hurriedly produced Shen Mu's painting and compared it. Their eyes lit up. "The features are identical! But the youth in this painting has only one deer leg, while this one has two. Is it really him or not..."
As he hesitated, the youth strode down the stone steps with his two deer legs, clattering as he descended.
"No matter what—seize him first and talk later!"
The guard threw a glance at the others. They understood immediately. Each soared into the air, and all manner of divine abilities and primordial weapons erupted—sword pills, blade orbs, lofty towers, great halls, massive cauldrons, and other primordial weapons—swift beyond compare, crashing down with a thunderous roar, engulfing the deer-legged youth. Terrifying waves of power surged in all directions, and only after a long while did they finally subside.
The Spirit-Energy Transference Bridge was of vital importance, so most of those guarding it were experts—at minimum at the Life-and-Death Realm, and several powerhouses at the Spirit Bridge Realm.
The group each recalled their primordial weapons and quickly came to the edge of the altar, looking down. They saw only a stretch of white ground below, with no trace of the deer-legged youth.
The group was aghast. They searched in all directions, each pair of eyes blazing with light, illuminating a distance of over a hundred li. Suddenly they spotted the deer-legged youth appearing a hundred li away, running forward lightly on his two deer legs.
"Shoot him down with the Sacred Pupils!"
The guard shouted. The many guards' eyes rapidly condensed divine light, transforming into beams of terrifying power that shone toward the deer-legged youth a hundred li away.
Just as their pupil-technique divine abilities were about to land on him, the deer-legged youth suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, he was another hundred li away—now two hundred li from the Spirit-Energy Transference Bridge.
The group prepared to condense their pupil-technique divine abilities again, but the deer-legged youth vanished once more, no longer visible.
The group looked at each other in dismay, somewhat at a loss.
Just then, they heard a clattering sound from behind. Another youth walked out of the Spirit-Energy Transference Bridge, followed by a large chest.
The large chest had several legs and clattered as it walked, following behind the youth with delicate features.
"It looks like Cult Leader Shen's chest, but this person is not Cult Leader Shen..."
As the group hesitated, the youth, whose eyes were like stars and whose voice was very pleasant, said, "Is this Taihuang Heaven? Where are the true demons?"
The guard said politely, "Is this young brother from Jingping? What business do you have seeking true demons? If you're looking for demon heads, you can only go to the demon race's territory over there. The Imperial Preceptor of Jingping is training soldiers at Li City. You should go to Li City first and attach yourself to the Imperial Preceptor of Jingping—that will make things easier for you."
