Upon hearing the Devouring Python's words, Zhang Kaicheng's expression turned ugly, and he stared at it coldly.
"Who is it? If you don't give me a clear answer, I'm going to eat snake soup today, hmph."
The giant python, with its mountain-sized body, trembled violently, causing the ground to shake.
It was on the verge of tears, and explained:
"It really is like that. I just made a deal with him. He gave me some pills. You know, we demon cultivators are not as good as you humans at alchemy. I saw that it wasn't a big deal, so I agreed."
Zhang Kaicheng continued coldly, "Who are you?"
The giant python transformed into a middle-aged man, dressed in a dark green robe, with a pale face and a sinister aura.
Qin Feng and the others had never seen a demon beast in human form before, so they were very curious and carefully examined the man.
They discovered that the middle-aged man who had transformed was no different from a normal person.
The middle-aged man stretched out his palm and waved it, creating a light screen on which appeared a human figure.
Upon seeing this man, Zhang Kaicheng glared angrily, his anger rising within him.
Qin Feng felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing this person, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn't quite place him.
Little Stone recognized the man at a glance, his face filled with disgust. "Ding Junhua, is that him?"
Qin Feng then remembered that this person was the disciple following behind Zhao Mingzhen. So it was him.
Qin Feng's gaze immediately sharpened.
Zhang Kaicheng stared coldly at the man who had transformed from the giant python. "Are you sure this is the person?"
The man nodded hurriedly. Afraid that the man wouldn't believe him, he took out several medicine bottles containing some Qi-nourishing pills, heart-clearing pills, and essence-blood pills—all relatively common pills.
Seeing the pills, Zhang Kaicheng was basically convinced that the bottles bore the mark of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but he wouldn't let him off so easily.
"You, a Nascent Soul stage True Monarch, are only after such a small amount of pills? Do you think I'm stupid?"
When the man with the giant python saw that he didn't believe him, he panicked again.
"Really, I've always been active here. This is my territory. I don't have to put in much effort to reap the benefits. Even a small fly is still meat, you know. You're not a demon, you don't understand the hardships of demons."
Then he remembered something and quickly added:
"Moreover, he was carrying a token with an extraordinary aura. I knew he had a powerful background, so I readily agreed, since it wasn't a big deal."
I never expected this kid to have powerful connections; he's really gotten himself into trouble. I should have known better than to be greedy for this small gain. There's no such thing as a free lunch; I was the free lunch!
The giant python man spoke with tears streaming down his face, lamenting the hardships of being a demon.
At this point, Zhang Kaicheng was even more convinced that what the giant python man said was true, and that the token should have been given to Ding Junhua by Zhao Mingzhen.
As for the giant python saying it was just to scare Little Stone, Zhang Kaicheng only believed half of it. Monsters are inherently ferocious, especially pythons, and eating people is not uncommon for them.
If no one comes to rescue him, Little Stone is likely to be in grave danger.
Of course, it is also common for humans to kill monsters, eat their flesh and extract their cores, and their methods are no less brutal than those of monsters.
Zhang Kaicheng never expected that Zhao Mingzhen, a True Monarch in the late Nascent Soul stage, would interfere in the affairs of juniors, and he was very disdainful of it.
It's normal for there to be friction between the rivalry between Lieyang Peak and Lengyue Peak, but it's shameful to help disciples scheme against their peers.
Ding Junhua's repeated harassment of Xiao Shitou was probably instigated by him secretly.
What a petty person! Even though he's an elder of Lieyang Peak, he still can't forget what happened back then. He not only caused trouble for Chang Kaicheng himself, but he also encouraged his disciple to provoke Xiao Shitou.
Zhang Kaicheng was also angry. Zhao Mingzhen kept causing him trouble. Did he think he had no temper?
He earned that opportunity through his own abilities; what did he do wrong? You're just holding a grudge because you're less skilled, and you think you're right?
Zhang Kaicheng was racking his brains trying to figure out how to handle the situation, and he was having a headache.
Suddenly, he thought of something and earnestly instructed Qin Feng:
"Boy, you mustn't do anything rash. You heard it too, they just want to see me make a fool of myself, they don't really want to take Yun Kai's life. Don't be impulsive."
Seeing his master giving Qin Feng such serious instructions, Little Stone quickly chimed in:
"Brother Feng, it's okay. Don't be impulsive and do anything stupid."
In Xiao Shitou's memory, Qin Feng's most powerful ability was probably only a Golden Core cultivator; the Heavenly Sword Sect was not one he could afford to offend.
Qin Feng nodded slightly upon hearing their words, "I understand, I won't do anything reckless. Elder, you'd better handle this matter yourself."
Qin Feng didn't finish his sentence, but Zhang Kaicheng understood: "You'd better handle this yourself, or the consequences will be severe if I intervene."
Do you remember how the Blade Overlord Sect disappeared? This kid wiped it out with a single slap.
Zhang Kaicheng felt it necessary to escalate this matter to a dangerous level, as it could potentially lead to the Tianjian Sect being slapped in the face.
Qin Feng's thoughts were not so complicated. He didn't care about the Heavenly Sword Sect or anything like that; whoever offended his friends or family, he would make trouble for them.
Zhao Mingzhen is already on his watchlist. Hopefully, Old Man Zhang can handle this well.
As for Ding Junhua, let Xiao Shitou deal with him himself; he's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After giving Qin Feng his instructions, Zhang Kaicheng looked at the giant python man who was waiting quietly.
"What do you think I should do with you?"
The giant python begged for mercy, saying, "Please, fellow Daoist, have mercy on me this time, considering that I did not cause him any actual harm."
Zhang Kaicheng looked thoughtful, considering how to handle the situation.
Qin Feng spoke up, "How about this? You seem to be living a very poor life in these mountains. Why don't you stay with Little Stone and enjoy a life of luxury? We won't hold your past mistakes against you."
