Chapter 2704 - 2707: Arriving at Demon Dragon City

"Although the Demon Dragon Sect was founded by me, my control over this Sect is growing weaker and weaker now.

In today's Demon Dragon Sect, there are two Deputy Sect Masters and three Elder Zongs, all coveting my position.

And unfortunately, their disciples are all more outstanding than mine.

I only took in one disciple, Chen Cangxiong, and ended up being betrayed, which later led to me being heavily injured for a long time.

That was what gave those bastards their chance.

Once you join the Demon Dragon Sect, what you'll face directly are their open attacks and hidden arrows. If you're afraid, give up now. I can let you become an ordinary Demon Dragon Sect disciple."

Chen Buyi looked at the towering Demon Dragon City not far away and spoke earnestly.

"No need for that."

Ling Xiao waved his hand and said, "As far as I know, Martial Artists who call themselves 'demonic' tend to act very directly, and status is decided by strength.

As long as I'm stronger than all of them, that's enough, right?

Anyway, I've been through this kind of thing many times. There has never been a success without failures accompanying it.

Whoever wants to deal with me can just come. Since I've agreed to become your disciple, I'll naturally inherit both your grudges and your kindness."

"Well said!"

Because Chen Buyi had once been betrayed, he valued the loyalty of a disciple above anything else.

This was also why he hadn't been able to take on a disciple all this time.

Now, Ling Xiao already met that requirement, and Ling Xiao's aptitude was absolutely remarkable.

He was very grateful that in his remaining years he could still find such an outstanding disciple.

It meant that Chen Buyi's luck hadn't run out yet.

"Since you're unwilling to give up, then from this very moment, I formally take you in as my closed-door disciple!

Remember, you are the second disciple I've ever taken!

The other one, you know, is Chen Cangxiong, though he once used a false name. Best not to mention him.

Other than that, I have a few adopted sons and daughters.

Chen Luan is the most outstanding among them, but he's already a bit old and can't compare to those true prodigies at all.

The rest of my adopted sons and daughters are weaker than him, and naturally they're even less able to compete with the most brilliant of the High-ranking Disciples.

So once you become a High-ranking Disciple, if you want people to back you, it'll be rather difficult.

Chen Luan and the others can only support you up to the level of Mid-level Disciples."

"That's already more than enough."

Ling Xiao smiled as he spoke.

Back when he entered Eight Immortals Mountain, he too had received help from someone important, but not long after that it was him helping others.

He understood Chen Buyi's current situation very well.

The dignified Leader of the Demon Dragon Sect, the number one expert in the Chen Dynasty, someone even the Thunder Emperor had to fear.

Yet within the Demon Dragon Sect, he couldn't be at ease because he didn't have a good successor.

His disciple betrayed him, and his adopted sons and daughters were disappointing.

Though he had once used the authority of the Sect Master to give his adopted sons and daughters better resources,

and had done his share of covering up for them.

But after all, the Demon Dragon Sect is a Great Sect.

Coupled with the two Deputy Sect Masters and three Elder Zongs colluding together, he had no choice but to consider the impact.

In matters between disciples, he naturally couldn't interfere too much, or internal warfare would break out in the Demon Dragon Sect.

"Ling Xiao, you must remember one more thing. For the resources you need, I can try my best to provide them for you.

After all, your Master is the Demon Dragon Sect Leader; I still have that bit of privilege.

But in fights between disciples, as long as no lives are lost, I generally won't make a move.

Do you understand?"

Chen Buyi stopped walking. He felt some things had to be clearly explained to Ling Xiao in advance.

"Understood. Once Master makes a move, the three Elder Zongs and the two Deputy Sect Masters definitely won't sit idly by. They'll act as well.

If that happens, internal chaos will erupt in the Demon Dragon Sect, which would give the Chen Royal Family an opening."

Ling Xiao nodded and said.

"You truly are a teachable child! Your Master is liking you more and more!"

Chen Buyi laughed heartily and said, "Here's what we'll do: you go to Demon Dragon City with Chen Luan first. Your Master will help you acquire that Giant Python Demonic Core!"

With that, he actually turned around and left directly.

Perhaps he was simply too happy; Ling Xiao wanted to call out to him but couldn't even get the words out.

"Ever since I started following Adoptive Father, this is the first time I've seen him this happy."

Chen Luan said with relief, "It's clear that Adoptive Father truly values you greatly.

I'm a rough man, not good with fancy words. I just hope you'll genuinely cherish this bond between master and disciple and not be like Chen Cangxiong, making people's hearts turn cold."

"Rest assured, Brother Chen Luan. As long as Master treats me well, I, Ling Xiao, am someone who repays kindness."

Ling Xiao nodded heavily as he spoke.

"Alright, let's go. I'll take you to Demon Dragon City."

Listening to Ling Xiao, Chen Luan was very pleased. Immediately, he led Ling Xiao and Xiao Jin to the main gate of Demon Dragon City.

The Demon Dragon City built here by the Demon Dragon Sect exuded a completely different aura from Thunder City.

It seemed as though every corner was so Zhen Ning, truly giving off the feeling of a Demon Sect.

Above the four city gates of Demon Dragon City were ferocious Demon Dragon sculptures. With Ling Xiao's eyesight, he naturally knew those sculptures were anything but ordinary; they contained profound Magic Arrays.

Though they might not be as powerful as the Ten Absolute Formations, if someone wanted to attack and break in, it really wouldn't be easy.

"Roar!"

Right at that moment, a Monster Beast's roar suddenly echoed.

It drew the glances of many people outside Demon Dragon City.

Ling Xiao also looked over and saw that what came was a huge bear with pure white fur.

On the huge bear's head sat a young girl who wasn't very old.

She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen.

The girl wore a set of white clothes, beautiful and dazzling like a little princess.

"Damn, that's a Snow Bear at First star, tenth layer of hell early stage! For this girl to use such a Monster Beast as her mount, her strength must be even more impressive. She should be a Mid-level Disciple of the Demon Dragon Sect, right?"

The ones speaking were all common folk of Demon Dragon City.

Don't think that the Demon Dragon Sect is some bottomless pit of Long Tan and Fierce Tiger.

In fact, the Demon Dragon Sect uses Demon Dragon City as its base.

And the structure of Demon Dragon City is quite similar to Thunder City. Aside from the Demon Dragon Palace where Demon Dragon Sect members reside, there are plenty of ordinary people.

Those watching the show now included merchants and Martial Artists who came to Demon Dragon City seeking adventure.

All of them looked at the girl with a bit of envy.

After all, becoming a Mid-level Disciple of the Demon Dragon Sect is already extremely difficult in itself.

"Liu Xu, you're back!"

Just as everyone's eyes were focused on the girl, another person rushed over from the distance.

This person also rode a Monster Beast with First star, tenth layer of hell early stage strength.

Only his mount was a Fierce Tiger.

It's said that as long as one becomes a Mid-level Disciple of the Demon Dragon Sect, they'll be assigned a mount, with this kind being the worst.

But what's the worst for Mid-level Disciples is pure luxury for outsiders.

You have to understand, a Monster Beast with First star, tenth layer of hell early stage strength is even a bit stronger than a Martial Artist with First transformation, tenth layer of hell early stage Cultivation Level.

Such a Martial Artist, placed anywhere in the Chen Dynasty, would be an absolute expert.

To use something like this as a mount—how could it not inspire jealousy?

"The Demon Dragon Sect truly lives up to being a force capable of contending with the Chen Royal Family. It does have some weight."

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao felt even more satisfied with his decision to come to Demon Dragon City.

He believed that here, he would definitely be able to obtain more and better things.
