Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1278: 1282: Devour Them All
Chapter 1278: Chapter 1282: Devour Them All
The banquet continued as normal, although Herioc Moon Xian found this birthday of hers less than joyful.
On one hand, the Gluttonous Lunar Eclipse Dragon was taken away, and Zhu Minglang had not yet clearly expressed his intention to join the Nie Immortal Clan, on the other hand, that special birthday gift box contained something that was supposed to be very important to Herioc Moon Xian; and of course, even more important was the fact that after so many years, she finally found a trace of her father’s whereabouts.
After the banquet, Herioc Moon Xian couldn’t wait to go to the dark creek that was sealed by Immortal Technique.
She quickly found what little remained of her father’s bones buried in the dark sands, and fortunately, Herioc Moon Xian did not delve into where most of the bones had gone; she merely stared blankly outside the dark creek, looking at the flowing Anxi stream…
She had searched this mountain countless times, yet she never thought that there was a mystery hidden in the dark creek!
But that was all decades ago, when the young Herioc Moon Xian must have only been a girl about Nie Qiqi’s age. From the downfall of the entire Nie Immortal Clan to her return as Herioc Moon Xian, though seemingly unchanged from the past, she had been through many vicissitudes.
“In his dream to you, has he ever mentioned anything else?” Herioc Moon Xian asked earnestly.
“Nothing more, just some promised benefits,” Zhu Minglang spoke of the hidden items as told by the spectral figure.
Zhu Minglang did not want to be bound here by Herioc Moon Xian, for it was apparent that she had great respect and care for her father.
Being both the messenger of the dream and the finder of her father’s bones, Zhu Minglang was somewhat of a little benefactor to Herioc Moon Xian.
“It seems that destiny has its arrangements. I won’t force you, but you must be more careful on your journey ahead. With your current cultivation base, it’ll be difficult to defend against those malefic immortals. Until you have enough strength, refrain from showing off the Gluttonous Lunar Eclipse Dragon everywhere,” Herioc Moon Xian sighed and said to Zhu Minglang.
“My thanks to you, Herioc Moon Xian,” Zhu Minglang said.
“The thing you said before, about liking Nie Qiqi…”
“It was just a stalling tactic, it meant nothing else. She’s still so young,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.
“That’s good.” Herioc Moon Xian nodded, not making things difficult for Zhu Minglang. Instead, she purposely retrieved the item her father had promised and gave it to Zhu Minglang.
Herioc Moon Xian was someone who valued trust and righteousness.
Upon opening the pouch that had been hidden for decades, Zhu Minglang was astonished to find it was a breakthrough fruit, capable of stimulating the body’s potential and providing additional assistance to cultivators at any stage to achieve breakthroughs!
Herioc Moon Xian didn’t even look at it for long before handing it directly to Zhu Minglang.
For Zhu Minglang, who was in dire need of improving his cultivation base, this was indeed a great piece of fortune. He did not expect that by merely helping a lonely soul in the wild with a birthday present, he would receive such a treasure. Zhu Minglang was very content; good deeds do get rewarded after all!
“If there’s anything Zhu needs in the future, please feel free to ask,” Zhu Minglang once again bowed to Herioc Moon Xian, speaking honestly.
Hearing this, Herioc Moon Xian couldn’t help but smile.
Where did this little boy come from, speaking in such an impressively grand manner.
“I should be the one to say that. Let’s consider this forming a good bond. If you ever need my assistance, don’t hesitate to ask,” Herioc Moon Xian said.
…
Returning to the Nie Immortal Mansion, the banquet program also came to an end.
The birthday celebration was drawing to its end, and the guests were flushed with drink.
Zhu Minglang was ready to make his way home, but he couldn’t see Cao Ying, Wan Cheng and the couple Cao Juan and Lu Kuan anywhere. After all, he still needed to stay at their place…
“It seems they have gone down the mountain via West Creek Road, someone was looking for them to discuss some matters,” a member of the Nie Family directed Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang followed West Creek Mountain Road in search.
His return path was to the east, while they headed west, which was strange. Moreover, Zhu Minglang occasionally heard some noises by his ears, indicating that his mystical hearing was picking up signals again, suggesting that Cao Juan and the others might be in danger.
Chasing after them, Zhu Minglang saw cold flashes shimmering in a dense forest, and streaks of sharp Sword Qi whistling by, cutting the trees of the entire forest cleanly at waist height.
In Nie Mountain Spirit Town, there should not be many who wielded a sword, so it must be Wan Cheng.
Zhu Minglang flew over and saw Cao Juan and her husband Lu Kuan, he also saw Cao Ying, and more importantly, Wan Cheng, the Divine Sword Master, who was facing three enemies alone. He was being attacked by three Shadow Roaring Dragons, and not far away stood a young woman in gorgeous silk clothing with two attendants behind her!
“Kill them for me, hmph, my good mood has been spoiled by this shoddy mountain couple!” The young woman was cold and arrogant, not deeming mortals as being at all human, treating them as poultry to be slaughtered at will.
“Madam, you take them and go first,” Wan Cheng said to Cao Ying.
Cao Ying’s cultivation base was not high, one of her summoned dragons was already dead, and she was protecting her sister and brother-in-law, planning to escape from the south side.
“Ignorant fools, I already said if you don’t meddle in others’ affairs, in consideration of the Nie Fairies, I wouldn’t pursue it. Yet you insist on seeking your own death!” the woman continued.
One Shadow Roaring Dragon circled around Wan Cheng’s sword techniques, and silently sneaked up behind Cao Ying. It stretched its hook-like claws towards Cao Ying.
The next moment, Cao Ying was about to be ripped open!
But just when the Shadow Roaring Dragon was about to lash out with its claws, its body suddenly froze in place, unable to swing its powerful and lengthy arm as if something was sticking it in place.
Subsequently, the stickiness turned into a force of suction, and the instant the Shadow Roaring Dragon gave up on swinging its arm, it was violently pulled backwards into a pitch-dark hole.
The Shadow Roaring Dragon was sucked into the black hole, and then a series of terrifying serrated rows appeared within the black hole, ferociously slicing the Shadow Roaring Dragon apart!

“Crunch, crunch~~~~~~~”
The sound of chewing resounded, this black hole was none other than the esophagus of the Gluttonous Lunar Eclipse Dragon!
With a single inhalation, it swallowed the Shadow Roaring Dragon into its mouth, then chewed it up alive, its bloody form along with flesh and bones swallowed into its stomach.
Once inside the belly of the Gluttonous Monster, there was no way to come out alive, for within lay an infinitely large cosmic stomach!
Moreover, this Shadow Roaring Dragon’s cultivation was not weak; the Nie Fairy Clan would not usually feed other Divine Dragons to it, and this substantial meal brought a smile of bliss to the little Gluttonous Dragon’s face, it had been a long time since it had tasted meat!
“Who is it that dares to disrupt the affairs of the Bright Moon Immortal Clan!” The woman harshly demanded.
“Devour them,” Zhu Minglang, too lazy to waste words with this woman, said to the Gluttonous Lunar Eclipse Dragon.
