Chapter 456: Chapter 174: The Pregnant Lady Recorded by the Imaging Stone (6k)_4
The image of the Holy Medicine from Hou Mountain given to the Five Sects is almost identical to this one. But now, seeing it so directly, everyone is deeply shocked.
At this moment, a figure completely wrapped in a gray robe swaggered in from the entrance of the passageway.
Due to the angle, the figure’s appearance was not clear, but it was vaguely visible that the figure had a very large, bulging stomach, resembling a pregnant woman.
No, to be precise, the size of the stomach alone was comparable to the size of five or six pregnant women combined, looking extremely odd.
Then, the figure walked slowly over, directly reaching out to pluck the Fusang Lingkui, and then walked out without a care in the world, as if the Holy Medicine was their own possession.
It wasn’t clear whether it was male or female, as the gray robe covered the entire body. Moreover, Hou Mountain wasn’t usually very knowledgeable about the current forces of the Five Sects, both overt and covert.
So, it was impossible to determine where this person came from at the moment.
Nonetheless, this is at least the only clue at present, which is much better than having no leads before.
"The other party is at least at the Divinity Transformation Realm, and the large stomach might have been deliberately disguised!" Hou Mountain analyzed.
After plucking the Holy Medicine, a year has passed and it hasn’t been refined. At least his informants hadn’t seen it in the wild.
There was only one possibility, the other party hid in human cities or those various large and small sects.
In this matter, only the Five Sects can help, as he doesn’t have the time and energy to look individually.
Immediately, Hou Mountain took out five identical Imaging Stones and handed them to the Sect Leaders of the Five Sects to see if they could discover any clues.
After receiving the Imaging Stones, the two parties separated. Before leaving, Zhou Qing inspected the stone immediately.
[Yang Fire Liquid: This is a pool of highly-priced Yang Fire Liquid, containing pure fire attribute energy, which previously nourished a priceless Fusang Lingkui Holy Medicine, unfortunately, it was crudely plucked away by someone.]
Looking at the feedback information, Zhou Qing realized it was of no use.
As soon as they came out of the cave, they saw a gigantic bird resembling a bald vulture, flapping its wide wings and slowly descending.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a bald man with a face covered in feathers. Aside from that, he was almost indistinguishable from humans.
Immediately, the ground trembled violently, and a massive bear charged. As it leaped, it instantly transformed into a burly man.
His muscles bulged, exuding a feeling of immense strength and giving a strong sense of oppression.
"Old Hou, I heard the Spirit Medicine you painstakingly cultivated is gone, was it done by them? The brothers will get revenge for you!"
The burly man with fanged teeth asked in a boisterous voice, glaring at Zhou Qing and the others with his eyes like bronze bells, his gaze unfriendly.
The bald-man stared at Zhou Qing and the others as well, licking his lips as if eyeing prey.
The Five Sects’ members immediately frowned slightly.
These two seemed to be the Demon Kings of East Ming Mountain and Cyan Mist Mountain, both at the Perfection of Divinity Transformation Realm.
If this matter isn’t handled well, the enemies the Five Sects would face could be unimaginable, and these are only two of the eighteen Demon Kings. If the other Demon Kings are incited as well, the consequences would be disastrous.
Hou Mountain said, "I’ve already asked them to investigate. Come in and we’ll talk."
However, the burly man ignored Hou Mountain’s words and strode forward, towering over Cao Zhengyang and Sikong Yan, speaking in a hostile tone.
"If old bear here finds out that you touched my brother’s belongings, then prepare to face the beast tide."
