Chapter 459 Exploration
Elder Huang’s strength was beyond everyone’s expectation. He fought one against four without losing, which made it difficult for Wang Hao to connect him with the figure swallowed by the python in the water before. However, the wonderful fight in front of him told Wang Hao that this was reality.
Seeing Elder Huang blinding the eyes of a giant python with his sword, and at the cost of being hit by his master's golden ring, he summoned a pagoda to suppress the other one. The invisible Wang Hao widened his eyes.
'Elder Huang is so strong! I never realized it before!'
Master He Qiang seemed to realize that Elder Huang was difficult to deal with, so he had to shout again: "Old Huang, I'll give you one last chance. If you leave now, I can pretend that what happened today never happened!"
Never happened?
Elder Huang sneered: "He Qiang, we have been together for decades, and I don't know who you are. Are you taking me for a fool by saying this now? Besides, my Iron Sword Sect is approaching Mangcang Mountain, so how can you let bygones be bygones?"
"Then what do you want?"
"Open this secret place to me."
"for you?"
"Of course it's for me!" Elder Huang looked at the wilderness around him, and finally showed a trace of greed in his eyes: "Master, my request is not high. You know what kind of status you and I, cultivators of the Divine Wandering Realm, have in the Iron Sword Sect. If you can sincerely open up the Moon Lake Secret Realm to share with me, I can also hide this secret realm from the sect for you! It will be the nourishment for you and me to reach the realm of the True Self!"
He Qiang remained silent, seemingly considering the pros and cons.
Rather than giving the entire secret realm to the Iron Sword Sect due to the betrayal of Elder Huang, it seems more acceptable to share the secret realm with Elder Huang.
Elder Huang, who was standing by, saw that He Qiang was interested and quickly added: "Master, after decades of getting along with each other, you know what kind of person I am. If the sect had not come with such a strong momentum and not given me any time to plan, I would not have done this. In the final analysis, what cultivators like me want is only immortality. If this secret realm can be shared by us, I will not hand over the news of the secret realm to the Iron Sword Sect. This is not the worst outcome for you and me!"
Who would have thought that at this moment, Brother He Zhen, who was suppressed by the pagoda, suddenly said, "Dad, there's no need to bother with him!"
As soon as the voice fell, before Elder Huang could react, he saw countless black little snakes suddenly burst out from under the ground, and shot towards Elder Huang in the air like swords without fear of life and death! At the same time, He Qiang, who received the signal, also laughed and threw the golden ring in his hand to He Qiang again.
“Photo!”
Elder Huang's eyes and eyebrows widened, his face looked ferocious at the moment of sudden change. The sword energy transformed from a long sword kept slashing at the group of snakes flying in front of him, but he had no time to care about anything else!
With a bang.
Elder Huang was finally hit by the golden ring hidden in the snake group. Surrounded by the dense swarm of snakes, he fell towards the water where Wang Hao was.
"roll!"
Elder Huang, who was surrounded by the snakes, actually still had some strength left! In midair, the Taoist robe on Elder Huang's body suddenly expanded and turned into a huge cloth ten feet long, wrapping up the snakes that were attacking him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Elder Huang himself rushed towards the water surface from which he came.
He wanted to run! But Wang Hao was still here!
Seeing Elder Huang flying towards him, Wang Hao no longer cared about anything else. He dived his head into the water and dived downwards.
"Is this a snake den? How come I didn't know there were so many pythons on Mangcang Mountain before!"
At this moment, Wang Hao's scalp was numbing.
There must have been thousands of black snakes that just flew towards Elder Huang. How on earth could such a large number of black snakes reproduce in the Mangcang Mountains!
However, before Wang Hao could figure it all out.
Suddenly, he felt his waist tighten, and then his whole body was tied up by a blue cloth-like rope. At the same time, Elder Huang's injured and poisoned purple old face appeared in front of Wang Hao.
"Ahem, that's what I was saying. I've always felt like someone was watching me from behind. I thought it was your master's arrangement hidden in Moon Lake, but I didn't expect it to be you, Wang Hao!"
How did he find me!
At this moment, Wang Hao was scared to death. He knew that no matter whether he fell into the hands of Elder Huang or was abandoned by Elder Huang and then found by his master, the ending that awaited him would not be good.
What should I do now! Damn profiteer, didn’t he say that cultivators below the True Self realm can’t find me!!!
As if he had seen through Wang Hao's thoughts, Elder Huang said with a strange smile: "Don't think about those nonsense. Quickly, use your magic weapon to cover me up first. If anything happens, let's avoid those snakes raised by your master first!"
Cover up Elder Huang? After Elder Huang is safe, he will definitely kill me, right? Thinking this in his mind, Wang Hao subconsciously used the power of the Crescent Moon Magical Instrument to pull Elder Huang in for protection.
This is what Wang Hao was subconsciously telling himself. If he didn't do this, he would immediately die at the hands of Elder Huang!
Elder Huang was also very satisfied with this.
While dispelling the snake venom in his body, he pointed at the black snake monsters as thick as arms that were wandering around the two of them, as if looking for something, and laughed: "Don't think that you have betrayed He Qiang. Do you think your master is a good thing? I think you know how many disciples of my Mangcang Sect have died over the years. There have been several conflicts with surrounding sects, and rivers of blood have flowed. Two of them were beaten into the sect, and there were at least five hundred dead disciples. But your insidious master hid such a powerful back-up plan in secret. If he had used this back-up plan earlier, even if my Mangcang Sect could not be on par with those top forces with Nirvana Realm, it would have become a first-class force in Ganzhou long ago, and would never be weaker than those sects with Zhenwu Daxiu!"
"Elder Huang, Master may have his own difficulties."
"Hardship? Hey! Who in this world doesn't have his own hardships? If he didn't have any hardships, why would a senior disciple of the Iron Sword Sect come to Mangcang Mountain and stay there for seventy years? How come, even if He Qiang had his own hardships, he could just sit back and watch his disciples die in front of him? Is there anyone like him who can be the head of a sect?"
"This time, Wang Hao did not go to defend his master.
Indeed, no matter what the reason, if the master as the head of the sect did not protect his disciples, it was the master's fault. Wang Hao was clear about this.
"Okay, kid, stop looking so miserable. Now is not the time to talk about this. Besides, the Mangcang Sect is now wiped out, and your master is no longer the head of the sect. There is no point in talking about this."
As he spoke, Elder Huang's expression became more amiable: "Instead of dwelling on this, it's better to think about the future."
"What future?"
"Of course, after you join our Iron Sword Sect, kid, you don't really believe your master's lies and think that he will take you to join the Iron Sword Sect and continue to provide you with the resources you need for cultivation like now, right?"
"The master said so."
"He said that? Hahaha! He and his son are guarding this secret realm and have no plans to leave in the short term. If Lao Guo and I hadn't arrived early and destroyed his arrangements, this Moon Lake Secret Realm would have been closed off from the outside world! Hahaha, you actually still believe what he said?"
At this moment, Elder Huang looked at Wang Hao as if he was looking at a "silly child" who had been deceived but still refused to believe it.
Wang Hao remained silent.
"Okay, okay, I won't force you. Let's just talk about the truth!" Elder Huang put away his smile and said in a seductive tone, "Do you know what kind of treasures are hidden in this secret realm of Moon Lake? Do you know why your senior brother, who is not as talented and hardworking as you, was able to secretly enter the realm of divine wandering?"
"Why?"
"Because in the secret realm of Moon Lake, there is the ancestral root of Moon Bamboo, which is a real treasure from heaven and earth! It is not what we in Ganzhou claim to be, it is a treasure that even great monks in the Nirvana realm would be tempted by! Hehe, your senior brother has the nourishment of the ancestral plant of Moon Bamboo and the true inheritance of your master, so isn't it natural that his cultivation is higher than yours?"
“.”
"You don't believe it? Then you might as well think about it. If your master really loves you, why doesn't he bring you into the Moon Lake Secret Realm? And the spirit snakes in this secret realm, your senior brother He Zhen can control them. What about you? Has He Qiang ever taught you any method of controlling snakes?"
“.”
"Besides, I'm not sure if there are any other treasures in the Moon Lake Secret Realm besides that one Heavenly Spirit Root, such as those that can allow you to quickly cultivate to the Realm of True Self, or even above the Realm of True Self. Just think about it, your stupid senior brother was able to break into the Divine Wandering before you. If these resources were given to you, with your talent, I'm afraid you would have already cultivated to the Realm of True Self by now, right?"
Wang Hao was silent.
In fact, he knew in his heart that it was very normal for the master to do this. Although he was brought back by the master for adoption and taught as a half-son since childhood, he was not the master's biological son after all. Therefore, it was reasonable for the master to favor his eldest brother, his biological son.
But for some things, the answers are different in different situations.
At least at this moment.
Wang Hao was moved by what Elder Huang said.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Also, if you help me seize this Moon Lake Secret Realm, I won't tell you anything about sharing the gains, but I can still give you the resources to cultivate to the True Self Realm. Besides, hehe, I, Old Huang, also have a lot of connections in the Iron Sword Sect. When the time comes, I will push you, who have cultivated to the True Self Realm, in front of the Sword God. I can't say that you can become the young master of the Divine Sword Sect, but you should be able to get the position of a direct disciple. At that time, your status in the entire Ganzhou will be the same as Ji Hu outside now. What kind of life Ji Hu led, I think you also know, right?"
Bribery!
Real inducement!
At this time, Elder Huang planned to use these benefits to knock Wang Hao unconscious, and then let him protect him to enter the Moon Lake Secret Realm again!
In fact, he lied.
First, the reason why he was able to find Wang Hao was not because the crescent magic weapon on Huang Hao was ineffective, but because as early as a week ago, he had planted a kind of fragrant bait that could last for a month on Wang Hao, He Qiang's direct disciple. The reason why he did this at that time was that he thought He Qiang would take this disciple into the Moon Lake Secret Realm.
But who would have thought that He Qiang was so cruel that he didn't even bring Wang Hao in! But it was also because of this that Elder Huang was able to receive this unexpected gain! 'I don't know what treasure this kid has hidden on him. If he refuses to cooperate with me, I'm afraid I can only kill him first, and then search him to see if I can find it.'
If it wasn't necessary, Elder Huang didn't want to kill Wang Hao directly.
The main reason was that he didn't know what the magic weapon on Wang Hao was, and even if he really got it, he didn't know if he could use it! In comparison, if Wang Hao was willing to cooperate with him, with such a helper, when the time came to fight He Qiang and his son, Elder Huang would have a better chance of winning.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Wang Hao must be "obedient".
Thinking of this, Elder Huang looked at Wang Hao with a smile: "How is it?"
"Can."
"Hahaha, you have a bright future, kid. I always say you are much better than your stubborn senior brother! When you and I seize this secret place one day, I also have a daughter in my family who can be betrothed to you!"
"But I have one condition!"
"you say."
"If you can succeed, I hope you can spare the lives of my master and brother."
Some promises are made with the intention of being broken.
Wang Hao knew this, and so did Elder Huang.
But the two of them had to say it, because it was the basis for them to maintain superficial cooperation and was an indispensable link.
Of course, after reaching the cooperation, with the protection of the Crescent Moon Magical Artifact, they can finally explore the secret realm of Moon Lake again.
Wait for the two of them to break through the surface of the lake silently.
He saw that his master was still guarding the shore, looking at the lake vigilantly. However, the figures of the two-meter-long black snakes as thick as arms and his senior brother He Zhen were gone.
The quality of the Crescent Moon Magical Instrument is really great! Seeing the master's eyes sweeping over himself and Elder Huang, but still turning a blind eye, Wang Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Then he winked at Elder Huang.
'What shall we do?'
Elder Huang pointed at He Qiang on the shore and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Wang Hao stared.
Elder Huang shook his head slightly, then motioned for Wang Hao to follow him.
In this way, the two of them walked into the secret realm of Moon Lake behind He Qiang openly, almost ten meters away from He Qiang who was guarding on the shore.
He Qiang, who was guarding the entrance, had no idea about their arrival.
Realizing all this, the two of them couldn't help but have the same idea in their hearts.
'This is a real treasure.'
However, this idea was quickly forgotten by them.
Because at this moment all their attention was focused on what appeared before them.
There is a sun in the sky, and under the sun is a lush bamboo forest. In the bamboo forest at this moment, Senior Brother He Zhen was leading a group of densely packed black snakes wandering in it, turning a corner from time to time to avoid the black and white bears in the bamboo forest that were gnawing on bamboo shoots!
A group of bears feeding on moon bamboo!!!
