Chapter 998 Bestowing Clothes
He closed his eyes and pieced the patterns together in his mind.

These patterns came together to form a design he didn't recognize.

It's like a ferocious beast.

The thought sent a shiver down my spine, as if a ferocious beast had been eyeing me.

He frowned, opened his eyes, and once again examined the mountain peak before him.

Apart from the patterns inside, there was nothing unusual about the mountain peak.

If it weren't for his greatly increased mental strength, enhanced extrasensory perception, and elevated overall energy and spirit, it would have been difficult for him to discover these patterns.

Hidden within the rocks, its power is weak and secretive, making it almost impossible to detect.

In a flash, he returned to the Demon-Subduing Palace, where he consolidated his first move and prepared to practice the second.

……

Leng Tieya arrived at the Wanxiang Palace once again.

He wanted to find the strange beast patterns he had seen in the Hall of Myriad Images.

My extrasensory perception has evolved to a higher level, so I no longer need to search for these books one by one.

With a super-sensory scan, the contents of the book were already imprinted in my mind.

This kind of scanning is extremely mentally taxing.

The sensory differential is instantly divided into dozens of parts, each scanning a page.

Then arrange the contents of each page in your mind in order and integrate them.

He did not yet possess the ability to memorize all the books in the entire hall with a single glance.

This scanning process may seem complex, but it actually completes the scanning and convergence in an instant.

The moment I raised my hand, before I even touched the book, my extrasensory perception had already completed a scan.

Therefore, this is dozens or even hundreds of times faster than flipping through books one by one by yourself.

Although he was mentally strong, he still needed Chu Zhiyuan to provide him with mental support.

After scanning all the books about animals in the main hall, half a day had passed, and he was pale.

Fortunately, the books in the Hall of Myriad Phenomena did indeed contain records of that strange beast.

This is the auspicious beast.

The auspicious beast possesses the power to disrupt the gods.

What is meant by "disrupting the spirit" is disturbing the mind, preventing mental energy from functioning properly.

This beast is not very powerful to demon race experts, but it is the nemesis of demon race experts.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, he went to the Jiuyuan Palace to see Zhou Jiongming.

……

Zhou Jiongming had just finished reading all the files at hand, got up from his desk, and walked over to him with his hands behind his back.

Behind him followed Zheng Shanggong, whose beard and eyebrows were both white.

Zhou Jiongming frowned at Leng Tieya: "Are you going to back out?"

“Steward, now that I’ve taken the Tracking Pearl, I naturally won’t go back on my word,” Leng Tieya said. “I’d like to gather some information beforehand and find out the truth.”

Zhou Jiongming smiled and said, "The palace has sent experts to investigate the situation. Do you want to investigate further?"

He knew that Leng Tieya was afraid of sensing danger, so he didn't want to take the risk.

This is understandable.

After all, the Great Demon's life is more important, and he cherishes his life more.

Having finally mastered the Great Heavenly Demon technique, which took countless lifetimes to achieve, how could I possibly let go of the opportunity to become the Supreme Heavenly Demon?

Especially since he is so young, his chances of becoming an unparalleled demon are far greater than others.

Then they would cherish their lives even more.

Leng Tieya said, "I'd feel more at ease if I saw it for myself."

“Well, that’s fine.” Zhou Jiongming nodded. “Your cultivation is higher, so you can probably see more.”

The Great Heavenly Demon Palace dispatched many experts to investigate and find out the true strength of the Nether Bone Sect.

However, none of these experts were Great Heavenly Demons.

The fact that Leng Tieya, a great demon, personally went to investigate is a good thing for the entire Great Demon Palace.

The difference between a Great Demon and a Demon is enormous, especially in their sensory abilities.

Leng Tieya clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Then give me the address, and I'll go take a look."

Zheng Shanggong chuckled and said, "Nephew Leng, this secret place of the Yougu Sect is a top secret and must never be revealed to outsiders."

Leng Tieya raised an eyebrow.

Zheng Shanggong said, "Even that junior disciple Song cannot be mentioned."

He knew that Leng Tieya and Song Lianshuang had a close relationship involving their love and romance. Such a relationship often involved open and honest conversations.

However, as an outer palace disciple, Song Lian Shuang had no right to know this news.

"Rest assured, Elder, this disciple understands." Leng Tieya nodded solemnly.

Zheng Shanggong looked at Zhou Jiongming, and after Zhou Jiongming nodded, he went to the cabinet next to him and took out a small box.

A small, dark green box, about a foot square, was handed to Zhou Jiongming.

Zhou Jiongming placed both palms on the box and gently channeled his internal energy. A moment later, a crisp "snap" was heard.

The box was opened, and a letter was found inside. The letter was handed to Leng Tieya.

Leng Tieya took the envelope, glanced at the wax seal, and gently rubbed it with his internal energy, instantly melting the wax.

He pulled out the plain paper from the envelope.

Upon glancing at the contents of the plain paper, Leng Tieya's brows immediately furrowed.

"What's wrong with it?" Zheng Shanggong asked.

As he spoke, he moved a candlestick from the table next to him, put the letter back into the envelope, resealed it with wax, and then put it back into the box.

He closed the dark green box again and placed it on the shelf.

Leng Tieya asked, "Steward, is this the only secret area of ​​the Yougu Sect?"

Zhou Jiongming said, "Could it be that you discovered something else?"

Leng Tieya nodded slowly and described the mountain peak he had discovered.

Zhou Jiongming's expression was solemn.

Leng Tieya then described in detail the contents of the cave within the mountain peak, including the many mysterious flowers and the patterns carved inside the peak, which were the patterns of auspicious beasts.

The more Zhou Jiongming and Zheng Shanggong listened, the more serious their expressions became.

Zhou Jiongming said coldly, "The Yougu Sect indeed has more than one secret location."

"Alas—!" Zheng Shanggong sighed and shook his head, saying, "This is troublesome!"

Leng Tieya said, "Steward, Elder, I suspect they have more than just two secret locations, three or four, or even more!"

“Yes, very likely.” Zhou Jiongming said slowly, “I had this suspicion before, but the information from the outer palace has never supported my suspicion.”

Zheng Shanggong said, "This means that the Yougu Sect we are facing is not as weak as we imagined."

Zhou Jiongming nodded.

Zheng Shanggong said, "We must inform the outer palace as soon as possible that we need to dispatch more experts, and even more Great Heavenly Demons."

He looked at Leng Tieya and smiled, "Thank goodness you're so clever, Junior Nephew Leng."

Having obtained the Tracking Pearl, Leng Tieya's attitude was completely different from before.

This is actually a good thing, showing that Leng Tieya is loyal to his promises, proactive, and reliable.

Leng Tieya said, "If we really want to take action, we should naturally find out the truth first... Steward, Elder, I'll go here first to see if I can find more clues and discover their other secret locations."

“That would be best,” Zhou Jiongming said slowly. “Junior Brother Zheng, give him that Cloud Concealment Robe.”

"Yes," Zheng Shanggong replied with a smile, "Please wait a moment."

He knew this was Zhou Jiongming's reward for Leng Tieya's information and positive attitude.

Those who make contributions will be rewarded, and even if it is not a meritorious deed, they will be compensated in other ways.

Zhou Jiongming said, "The Yougu Sect may also have a Great Heavenly Demon, so you need to be careful."

Leng Tieya nodded solemnly.

A moment later, Zheng Shanggong returned to the main hall, carrying in a purple lacquered box that was similar to the small box from before.

He carried it to Zhou Jiongming, who then personally used his internal energy to open it.

Inside the box was a bright, dazzling light, like a bright moon reflected in a lake.

Zhou Jiongming reached out and grabbed the ball of light, then gently shook it.

The radiance expanded, forming a shimmering gray robe.

The radiance surrounding the gray robe made it clear that it was no ordinary garment.

He handed it to Leng Tieya: "This is the Cloud Concealment Robe, a treasure from the human race. Try it on."

Leng Tieya curiously took it; it felt silky smooth to the touch, and the luster seemed to come from this strange material.

After he put it on, its luster quickly faded, turning into an ordinary gray robe, no longer silk but common cloth.

Zhou Jiongming and Zheng Shanggong looked him over with satisfaction and smiled.

The effects of this Cloud Concealment Robe are indeed related to mental strength; the stronger the mental strength, the better the effect.

After putting on the Cloud Concealment Robe, Leng Tieya's aura dropped sharply, and he was no longer as captivating as before when people looked at him.
