C21 A Fish That Was Being Slaughtered

Outside the Azure Dragon Cultivation Room, Zoe stood with a cold, cruel smile, her voice barely above a whisper as she moved to a corner. "Choo Guang, the big fish is about to leave the black market."

Upon hearing this, a burly man in a yellow outfit, his eyes sharp with excitement, grinned. "Oh, anyone who can afford the Azure Dragon Cultivation Room isn't a weakling."

"Don't mess with me. If it's a master at the Soul Connecting Stage, even the Hidden Dragon Gang wouldn't be able to handle it!" Choo Guang glanced cautiously at the Azure Dragon Cultivation Room, asking seriously.

"Come on, don't you trust my work? It's not our first time teaming up," Zoe replied, displeased. "That kid's energy is weak. I doubt he's opened many energy channels. Even if he has, there's no way he's a match for you!"

"The usual deal—after we take down the big fish, I want thirty percent!" Zoe made a slicing motion across her throat, her intent clear.

The two continued discussing the details of their plan, clearly underestimating Qiao Gao, convinced the big fish wouldn't escape. However, they didn't notice a small shadow watching them coldly from an inconspicuous spot outside the Azure Dragon Cultivation Room.

Inside the room, Qiao Gao smirked, eyes narrowed with meaning, and said in a low voice, "Let's see who the real big fish is."

Outside the door, a small shadow was unmistakably Qiao Gao's Corpse Worm clone.

The shady dealings between the front desk of the Azure Dragon Cultivation Room and Choo Guang from the Hidden Dragon Gang had long been observed by Qiao Gao’s Yin Fiend Corpse Worm clone.

...

Leaving the black market valley, Qiao Gao soon appeared on the Devil Dragon Wasteland. He walked at a steady pace, unfazed by the few tagalongs trailing behind him. The wasteland was recovering rapidly, with energy becoming more concentrated. The once barren ground was now sprouting various herbs, and it wouldn't be long before these herbs matured and bore fruit.

"The wasteland is recovering so quickly. It's only been a day, and there's already such a big change," Qiao Gao thought to himself, a bit startled. He knew that significant events were about to unfold in the Devil Dragon Wasteland.

Yesterday at the black market, Qiao Gao had heard many legends about the Devil Dragon Wasteland. This once desolate wasteland was on the verge of revival, with rumors suggesting that even the Devil Dragon might awaken. Countless ancient relics and even divine artifacts buried deep within the wasteland were said to be emerging.

It's said that North Star Country and several nearby smaller nations had dispatched their strongest to search for hidden treasures! The Devil Dragon Wasteland was about to become a battleground of epic proportions!

With a storm brewing, Qiao Gao's small family would face immense upheaval. Without absolute strength, they could be wiped out in an instant.

As he thought about it, Qiao Gao's expression darkened. He had just experienced an unexpected encounter, inheriting the memories of the Myriad Tribulation Pill Monarch, ready to defy fate and rise like a star, only to face such a terrifying twist!

"Bring it on! Whoever dares to challenge me, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Qiao Gao resolved inwardly.

Just then, a sharp sound pierced the air!

"Whoosh!!!"

Qiao Gao turned to see a black arrow shooting toward him with a cunning and vicious angle. It was as if he had eyes on the back of his head; he effortlessly dodged the sneak attack.

The arrow, with its sharp whistling, grazed past the back of his head and embedded itself into a large boulder on the wasteland.

Bang!

The boulder was blasted with a deep crater, scattering countless fragments in all directions. The force was clearly astonishing; if the arrow had hit its mark, Qiao Gao's head would have been shattered like a watermelon!
