Chapter 386 Dark Night Forest
The Black Python is a unique type of demonic beast found only in the Central Killing Domain. Its defining characteristics are its enormous size and entirely black body. However, this beast is remarkably agile, possesses immense strength, and is non-venomous.
Normally, even those in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm wouldn't dare to easily provoke such a demonic beast. The black python's inner gall is a treasure, and that's what Bai Ke's mission is to obtain. Black pythons are mainly distributed in the Dark Night Forest of the Central Killing Domain and prefer to be active at night.
In fact, even if some disciples were afraid of the danger, it was common for them to buy the goods directly and hand them over to the sect, though the prices were quite high. However, Bai Ke did not intend to do so. Of course, it wasn't that Bai Ke couldn't afford them; he just felt it was better to use a different approach.
"Boss, you have to be careful, this black python is no ordinary creature!" Ge Yuan said with some concern.
"Hehe, it's alright. You continue to help me secretly develop my power, but be careful in everything you do," Bai Ke instructed.
"Hehe, boss, don't worry, I've got it covered," Ge Yuan said, patting his chest.
It was the dead of night again, the bright moon hung high, and the stars were numerous. Some diligent disciples of the Heavenly Evil Sect were still not resting; for them, this effort was nothing compared to the effort required to improve their strength and cultivation.
"Knock knock!" Two soft knocks sounded at the door.
"Come in!"
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, everything has been arranged," said a man who also appeared to be an elder.
"Hehe, good, remember to keep it a secret. That old bastard Dugu is no benevolent person, we must keep our distance," the First Elder said slowly.
The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Evil Sect is a confidant of the Sect Master. His strength has reached the early stage of the Mahayana realm, and his status and power are second only to the Sect Master.
"Don't worry, Elder, he's just a mere Nascent Soul stage kid."
"Don't underestimate him. This kid is highly skilled and exceptionally talented. Apart from being a bit arrogant, he's a promising talent."
"
"Alas! I originally wanted to take him as my disciple, but that old bastard Dugu beat me to it." The First Elder said with a hint of regret.
"Yes, Elder, I have already arranged for a Void Returning cultivator to go down there. No matter how powerful he is, no matter how many life-saving items Old Master Dugu left him, he will definitely be safe!" the elder said.
"Yes. Keep a close eye on that old fellow, and report to me immediately if anything unusual happens." The Grand Elder nodded.
"Yes, sir!" The elder respectfully withdrew.
Just as the elder stepped down, two figures emerged from the First Elder's room: Jin Tiancheng and Ye Tong.
"Everything has been arranged, Young Master, Second Young Master," the First Elder said respectfully.
"Hehe, Master really trusts the Elder to handle things," Jin Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Not at all, not at all, Young Master, you flatter me," the First Elder said modestly.
Ye Tong's expression was somewhat unnatural; not being able to kill Bai Ke with his own hands was a mental demon for him.
Jin Tiancheng, clearly aware of Ye Tong's thoughts, said, "Haha, junior brother, you don't need to be like this. Master specifically said that we will also be secretly following this operation, and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to make your move."
"Thank you, Senior Brother and Master," Ye Tong said excitedly. For Ye Tong, no matter what method he used, as long as he could kill Bai Ke himself in the end, he was willing to do anything.
The next morning, Bai Ke pretended to sneak away and quickly left the Tianxie Sect.
Two figures suddenly appeared in the void. They were Jin Tiancheng and Ye Tong, a strange smile on their lips.
"Haha, with this magical artifact bestowed upon us by our master, he probably won't be able to find us," Jin Tiancheng said in a low voice. Ye Tong's eyes also gleamed with excitement; he was already thinking about how to torture Bai Ke.
However, their wishful thinking might be in vain, as Bai Ke had already discovered their whereabouts with his Heavenly Eye and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Bai Ke quickly used his movement technique, and the already long road took him half a day to traverse, with many twists and turns.
Ye Tong and Jin Tiancheng were furious.
"That brat! He's so fast and so cautious!" Jin Tiancheng said, somewhat annoyed.
Ye Tong was even more exhausted. His strength and cultivation were already inferior to Bai Ke and Jin Tiancheng, and he was now panting heavily.
"Good, this means he'll be more relaxed about things from now on," Ye Tong said viciously.
Jin Tiancheng nodded in agreement and quickly followed.
While Ye Tong and his men were scrambling for cover, Bai Ke was leisurely enjoying himself. He was drinking here and strolling around there; those who knew him would think he was there on a mission, while those who didn't would think he was there for leisure.
Jin Tiancheng almost lost his temper, wishing he could immediately go up and beat Bai Ke up.
"You brat, let you be smug for now. After this is done, I'll show you what I'm capable of," Jin Tiancheng said with a ferocious expression.
If the disciples of the Heavenly Evil Sect were to see him like this, Jin Tiancheng would be completely devoid of his former gentlemanly demeanor.
About five days later, Bai Ke arrived at the Dark Night Forest with ease, while the two behind him were covered in dust and dirt.
"This should be the Dark Night Forest. I should go and come back soon," Bai Ke muttered to himself.
"Heh, you think you can go and come back early? I'll make sure you never come back!" Ye Tong and Jin Tiancheng said angrily in a low voice.
Bai Ke leaped into the dark forest and vanished instantly, a sudden gust of cold wind sweeping past him.
Jin Tiancheng's eyes lit up, and he took out a special magical artifact that emitted strange sounds.
In an instant, a middle-aged man with a powerful aura appeared in front of them.
"Greetings, gentlemen. You two must be the sect leader's disciples. Uh!" the man said hoarsely.
The middle-aged man was clearly startled by the disheveled appearance of Ye Tong and his companion.
Is this the future successor of the Heavenly Evil Sect's eldest disciple? The man found it quite strange.
"Uh! My apologies! My junior brother and I had a little accident along the way, which resulted in a fight with someone," Jin Tiancheng and Ye Tong said, both embarrassed and annoyed.
"I see. Young master, you should be careful when you're out and about," the man said with concern. Jin Tiancheng and his companion quickly changed the subject.
"Hehe, you must be Chief Wang. My master mentioned you to me before," Jin Tiancheng said respectfully, and Ye Tong also bowed slightly.
This man is the secret force of the Heavenly Evil Sect's leader, operating outside the sect. They have always been quite secretive and unknown to the public.
“That kid has already gone in, we’ll have to trouble Chief Wang again,” Jin Tiancheng said.
Wang, the leader, said confidently, "Hehe, he's just a mere Nascent Soul stage kid. It's a piece of cake for him."
Jin Tiancheng couldn't say anything, since it seemed that a Void Returning Stage cultivator was capturing a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
"Master, be careful!" Jin Tiancheng warned gently.
"Yes, young master, let's go!" Chief Wang nodded and flashed into the forest. Jin Tiancheng and his companion followed closely behind.
