After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 964 The contents of the White Crocodile King's belly: The Heavenly King's Decree!
"Roar!"

The White Crocodile King went berserk, raising its head and roaring. A stream of true essence shot out from its mouth, heading straight for a pile of corpses ahead.

"boom!"

The pile of corpses exploded with a loud bang, and a dark figure leaped out from it, quickly jumping behind several other white crocodile corpses not far away.

"Roar!"

The White Crocodile King unleashed another torrent of true energy.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The scene was filled with flying blood and gore, and explosions continued. The stench of blood instantly permeated the surrounding space.

Mo Yuan, relying on his agile movements, darted left and right, darting among the piles of corpses. Although it was extremely dangerous, the White Crocodile King was always helpless against him.

"Roar!"

The White Crocodile King's rage had reached its peak.

It had just been hammered by Chen Yang, so it was fine; it had chickened out and was willing to offer up a valuable treasure to pay for its impulsiveness.

However, this mouse slaughtered all the offspring it had brought with it, something it could never accept.

At this moment, it was blinded by rage and was determined to kill the rat no matter the cost.

"Whoosh!"

Just as it used its primordial spirit to lock onto Mo Yuan's location and was about to spew out another mouthful of true essence, Chen Yang made his move.

A hammer flew over and shoved directly into its gaping maw.

The violent impact caused the White Crocodile King to lean back, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

At that moment, Chen Yang leaped up and landed on its head.

The crimson blood obscured the White Crocodile King's vision, but through its bloodshot eyelids, it saw the figure that filled it with despair.

"boom!"

A large, golden iron hammer, like a falling star, suddenly smashed down on its head.

The White Crocodile King felt a violent jolt in his head, as if something had spewed out. A wave of dizziness washed over him, and all his strength vanished in an instant, causing his body to collapse.

"how come……"

After the anger subsided, fear gripped the White Crocodile King, whose blood-red eyes were filled with disbelief.

Memories of my life flashed through my mind like a slideshow.

It was born with extraordinary talent and has enjoyed smooth sailing for hundreds of years, dominating the Bailong River and ruling over a territory of more than twenty miles around. Now it is a Dao True Realm existence, and which spiritual seed in the surrounding area does not give it face?

Today, just because I attacked a passerby, I have brought about such an end.

Overwhelmed with regret.

“Mercy, mercy…”

In that instant, it regained some of its senses and even thought of begging for mercy, hoping to survive by offering up its treasure.

However, it's clear that Chen Yang won't give it that chance again.

"Buzz!"

The Golden Body Mantra of Dharma Image.

Chen Yang suddenly revealed his Dharma form.

A golden phantom, over three zhang tall, appeared out of thin air, wielding a mountain-suppressing sword over one zhang long, and suddenly stabbed it down at the head of the White Crocodile King.

"boom!"

The White Crocodile King's skull had already been smashed by Chen Yang with an iron hammer, and this sword easily pierced its head.

With a loud bang, it pinned it to the ground.

"Roar!"

The White Crocodile King let out a desperate roar, instinctively twisting its body in a final act of resistance.

However, the Mountain-Suppressing Sword released a large amount of sword energy, which instantly shredded its primordial spirit.

"boom!"

Its raised tail fell heavily to the ground.

It twitched slightly, then fell silent.

"Ding, mission complete. Hunted SS-level spirit beast [White Crocodile King]. Rewards: [Super Animal Growth Essence] *3, experience points +100000."

……

The system notification sounded, and everything settled down.

Chen Yang withdrew his Dharma form and dispelled his golden body, letting out a long sigh of relief.

The white crocodile king's corpse lay sprawled on the ground, surrounded by the carcasses of the other white crocodiles, their flesh and blood splattered everywhere, leaving the scene in complete disarray.

"Master, you are mighty."

Mo Yuan leaped out from the pile of corpses, arrived next to the White Crocodile King's body, and kicked it hard.

Holding a sword, it skillfully cut open the white crocodile king's belly, attempting to extract its inner core.

These spirit beasts have just died, so the probability of obtaining their inner cores is very high. If too much time passes, the inner cores might dissolve into the blood and quickly dissipate as energy, resulting in a complete waste.

Chen Yang ignored him, stood aside and regulated his breathing, calming the restless blood and qi in his body.

This aircraft looks simple, but it actually consumes a lot of resources.

This white crocodile king is, after all, a power-type fighter with an inherently strong physique. Dealing with such a being through sheer force is inherently very difficult.

Fortunately, Chen Yang had already mastered the Half-Immortal Body; otherwise, his body would definitely not have been able to withstand such a powerful combat force.

After taking a few Spirit Nourishing Pills, the spiritual energy consumed by casting the Dharma Form was quickly replenished.

"Master, come quick!"

Just as he was adjusting his breathing, Mo Yuan's voice came from the side.

Chen Yang walked over, but what he saw made him frown.

Mo Yuan had already ripped open the White Crocodile King's belly, and a colorful pile of things rolled out of its bulging belly. Among this pile of nauseating things, two figures stood out conspicuously.

There are two people!

One was a young man, probably in his twenties, and the other was a middle-aged man, probably in his early forties.

It must have been swallowed recently and hadn't been digested by stomach acid yet, but it had already stopped breathing.

Just now, he hesitated for a moment about whether to spare the life of this white crocodile king, since this beast was a native of the secret realm and might be of some use.

But now it seems that the beast's death was not unjust.

The stench at the scene was overwhelming, making Chen Yang feel nauseous and his stomach churn.

Mo Yuan seemed unfazed, pulling the two men out of the filth and using a handful of grass to clean the dirt from their faces.

Chen Yang took a closer look at the two faces.

I have a vague recollection of them; they were two of the people recommended by the association.

Chen Yang had only met him briefly before he came in, and had a slight impression of him.

Both of them were at the early stage of the Creation Realm, but their specific identities were unknown.

The team recommended by the association, including Wang Yuanchao and Liu Jianguo, totaled twenty-five people. After entering, they were said to have split into two teams to explore.

Could it be that one team was wiped out?

Chen Yang's heart tightened.

Most of the people who came in were at the Creation Realm or Spirit Realm. If they encountered this group of white crocodiles, the probability of them being wiped out would be very high.

Chen Yang immediately released his mental energy and searched the white crocodile carcass at the scene.

Fortunately, apart from these two corpses, no other bodies were found.

In other words, the situation may not be as bad as he thought.

Although Wang Yuanchao and his group weren't particularly strong, their methods were definitely not lacking, after all, the association still had some resources.

It's a pity that we killed the white crocodile king directly, otherwise we could have learned the cause and effect from it.

"What should we do with these two?"

Mo Yuan came to Chen Yang's side and presented the White Crocodile King's inner core with both hands.

Chen Yang directly collected the inner core and the corpse of the White Crocodile King, saying, "Dig a hole and bury them on the spot."

"Yes!"

Mo Yuan responded.

Since they are dead, Chen Yang has no obligation to help them. Since he chose to come in and take this risk, he should have thought about this outcome.

For complete strangers to have someone collect their bodies and provide them with a burial place after death is already a blessing from their past lives.

The rest of the white crocodiles were killed by Mo Yuan. He carried the corpses of a few Creation Realm cultivators into the Azure Profound Pearl, and fed the rest to the Bone-Eating Beetles.

For a mouse, digging holes is a natural skill. Mo Yuan found a spot, buried the two men, and soon came back to Chen Yang, holding a small black calfskin bag in his paws.

"Owner……"

He handed the calfskin bag to Chen Yang.

It was so dirty that Chen Yang couldn't bear to reach out and take it.

"Just found on those two people..."

Mo Yuan opened the bag and emptied its contents, which were mostly bottles of pills.

"Master, look at this..."

Mo Yuan's claws rummaged through the bottles and jars, and he took out a palm-sized piece of iron from the middle, which he then handed to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang received it.

The metal sheet is rectangular, about the size of a lighter, black, and inlaid with gold patterns. The front is printed with the character "令" (command), while the back has some incomprehensible incantations.

It looks like a token; the material and craftsmanship are exquisite.

Chen Yang looked at Mo Yuan with a hint of doubt, "You know him?"

Chen Yang didn't intend to touch the two men's belongings, but Mo Yuan singled out this token, clearly recognizing it.

Mo Yuan said, "If I'm not mistaken, this token should be the Heavenly King's Token of the Pingtian Sect back then. Within the Pingtian Sect, only direct disciples whose cultivation has reached a certain level are granted this token..."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's brows furrowed immediately.

The Pingtian Sect?
How did the Pingtian Sect's token end up on these two people?

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Chen Yang asked.

"determine."

Mo Yuan nodded seriously, "Back then, if I hadn't fallen out with Chongtian Temple, that Master Shi of the Pingtian Sect wouldn't necessarily have been able to act so arrogantly..."

"I've met him several times. He has to respectfully address me as 'senior' in front of me. He's tried to recruit me more than once, saying he can help me find a way to prolong my life..."

"But I see that although this person is magnanimous, his lifespan is not strong. I'm afraid he himself won't live long, so how can he talk about helping me prolong my life? Therefore, I've always ignored him..."

"Later, my guess was right, and he did indeed die not long after..."

"I haven't had much contact with the Pingtian Sect, but it's just a token, I wouldn't mistake it for something else."

……

Mo Yuan spoke with great conviction, and also boasted about his past glory.

Chen Yang looked at the token in his hand.

If this is truly some kind of Heavenly King's Decree, then it becomes quite intriguing.

Could it be that, besides those three hell worms, someone else from the Pingtian Sect has infiltrated?

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat; this was indeed a possibility.

The people who came in this time were not only from Emei and the Five Sects and Eight Meridians, but also from many other forces. In the rush, there was no way to identify these people.

It's hard to say exactly how many people with impure motives have infiltrated this group.

"Only one token?" Chen Yang asked.

Mo Yuan nodded, "We've only found this one piece. Obtaining the Heavenly King's Token requires a certain level of cultivation and status. Of these two, one of them most likely holds a significant position within the Ping Tian Sect..."

Chen Yang agreed, but unfortunately the man was already dead.

Elder Wu isn't here. If he were, he could read the memories of these two.

"What's the use of this token?" Chen Yang asked.

Mo Yuan said, "As far as I know, the Heavenly King's Token is not only a symbol of status, but also has the ability to protect oneself. However, judging from the appearance of these two, the token did not protect them, and they didn't even have time to use it..."

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go take a look at the riverbank."

Although the White Crocodile King is dead and the White Crocodile herd has suffered heavy losses, there must still be its descendants in the White Dragon River.

If you could find a white crocodile that had developed intelligence, you would know what happened.

……

-

Riverside.

The river flows swiftly and ceaselessly.

Mo Yuan was covered in blood. The White Crocodile King was already dead, so he didn't care anymore and jumped directly into the river.

After washing off the blood and grime, he plunged into the water.

Soon after, the water surface began to churn.

A large black rat dragged a dying white crocodile to the shore.

He was in the mid-stage of the Creation Realm, and his body was covered in sword wounds, clearly inflicted by Mo Yuan.

Putting everything else aside, this mouse is a man of action, quite proactive in getting things done. Sometimes, it can handle things perfectly on its own without Chen Yang even having to say a word.

Chen Yang immediately used his mental power to communicate with the white crocodile and asked about the origins of the two people inside the white crocodile king's belly.

The white crocodile was terrified and naturally dared not hide anything.

Just over an hour before Chen Yang arrived, two people came to the banks of the Bailong River, intending to cross it.

There was no bridge across the river, and the two of them couldn't fly, so they went to the White Crocodile King and asked him to carry them across the river.

As a result, when they reached the middle of the river, the White Crocodile King suddenly turned against them, flipped them over and swallowed them whole.

The whole story is that simple and straightforward.

Chen Yang felt like he was listening to a fairy tale, and he was completely stunned.

He looked down at the white crocodile in front of him. "Do you know what the consequences are for lying to me?"

According to this white crocodile, were those two idiots? They were only at the Creation Realm, yet they dared to ask a ferocious beast at the Dao True Realm for help to cross the river.

Isn't this just meat and vegetables delivered to your door?
Even someone with no experience in the underworld wouldn't dare to do that, right?
"I dare not utter a single falsehood."

The white crocodile quickly shook its head and transmitted its voice, saying, "Everything I said is the truth. There's a young man inside who seems to know our king..."

"Our king was originally going to kill them on the spot, but after the young man showed us a token, our king hesitated and agreed to let them cross the river..."

"Token?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes sharpened.

Is it the Heavenly King's Decree?

Does the White Crocodile King know the Heavenly King's Decree of the Pingtian Sect?

With such a powerful force, the Pingtian Sect has already infiltrated the Nine Elders Cave Secret Realm ahead of time?
Realizing this, Chen Yang felt a slight unease.

It's one thing for Danyangzi to be involved with the Pingtian Sect, but now even a ferocious beast in the river can recognize the Heavenly King's Decree. This shows that the Pingtian Sect's plans in this secret realm are definitely more than just a little bit.

The white crocodile continued, "Our king kindly ferried them across the river, but once they reached the middle of the river, they displeased our king, so in a fit of rage, he killed them..."

"Those two are stupid. They clearly don't have much strength, yet they dare to swagger in front of our king. Our king's temper is notoriously bad; it's already unprecedented that he's allowed them to cross the river..."

……

"What did they say that displeased your king?" Chen Yang asked.

Since the White Crocodile King recognized the Heavenly King's Token and even helped them cross the river, it proved that the token was still useful.

But the White Crocodile King's sudden change of heart is a bit puzzling. What exactly did those two say that provoked the White Crocodile King?
"This one……"

Faced with Chen Yang's questioning, the white crocodile stammered and spoke vaguely.

"Say it."

Mo Yuan's eyes were cold and menacing.

The white crocodile trembled, filled with fear of the rat.

"I said!"

The white crocodile quickly said, "Our king cultivated a magical herb, which just matured these past few days and hasn't been harvested yet. That young man, I don't know where he heard about it, asked our king for it in a very arrogant tone. Our king was outraged, so he..."

"Ambrosia?"

Mo Yuan looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang remained calm and composed. "Ten-leaf Water Bodhi?"

The White Crocodile King had already mentioned this matter when he begged for mercy, so he wasn't surprised.

"Yes!"

The white crocodile nodded hurriedly, "That immortal herb was carefully guarded by our king for a very long time, and he devoted a lot of effort to it before it grew to ten leaves. It was originally intended to be used to break through to the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm. Those two people just opened their mouths and asked our king for it. Who could tolerate that..."

Its words were full of resentment, as if it thought those two deserved to die.

Now, things are clear.

The White Crocodile King and the Pingtian Sect might indeed have some connection. Those two wanted to use their status in the Pingtian Sect to get benefits from the White Crocodile King, but they clearly overestimated their own status and underestimated the White Crocodile King's ferocity.

Such people may have become arrogant and complacent because of their status and comfortable life. They think everyone should give way to them and cater to them, mistaking their background for their own strength. They are completely unaware of how dangerous it would be if their background could no longer protect them.

These two people didn't die unjustly.

To dare to do something like that in a secret realm is nothing short of brain-dead, and they truly deserve to die.

Once he understood the cause and effect, Chen Yang stopped taking it seriously.

"Is the immortal herb still there?" Chen Yang asked.

"Yes, yes."

The white crocodile nodded hurriedly, "It grows right on the veins at the bottom of the Bailong River..."

"Go and pick it."

Chen Yang coldly said, "Don't even think about running away, or you'll die!"

"Sir, spare my life."

The white crocodile hurriedly begged for mercy, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I can't. That place has a natural Daoist restriction, and apart from the Great King, we can't get in at all. Moreover, it's said that picking this fruit is very particular; it seems that it needs to be knocked down with a golden tool, otherwise the fruit will be ruined..."

Chen Yang was speechless.

Mo Yuan was stunned when he heard about the Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi.

"Master, the Water Bodhi, with its ten leaves, is absolutely a divine fruit..."

At this point, Mo Yuan couldn't help but lick his lips. "How about I go down and take a look?"

"you?"

Chen Yang chuckled, said nothing more, took out a [Breath-Holding Pill] awarded by the system, and swallowed it directly.
