Chapter 2473 He Killed Himself
Several disciples mustered their courage and shouted, "Halt! What kind of monsters are you, daring to trespass into Changfeng Valley..."
Before he could finish speaking, the bear demon in the lead roared, and more than a dozen demons pounced forward, knocking the disciples to the ground and tearing them to pieces!
Some of the wolf demons began to devour the creature before it even died.
Screams echoed across the entire hilltop.
The powerful figures of Changfeng Valley had all taken their experts down to attack the city, leaving Du Zhishan with only ordinary disciples and servants. How could they possibly withstand these fierce and evil spirits?
The Bear King pressed down on one of his disciples and asked him in a low voice, "Which one is Shangguan Biao?"
The disciple was terrified. He turned around and looked at the Ghost Claw Locust Tree, and subconsciously pointed at it.
Shangguan Biao stood in the crowd under the tree, his eyes meeting those of the Violent Bear King, and a chill suddenly ran through him for no reason.
He couldn't hear the Bear King's question, but he had a feeling that disaster was about to strike, so he turned and ran without thinking.
"Roar, we see them!" The Bear King roared, and the demons gave chase.
The others had long since scattered like birds and beasts.
No matter how fast Shangguan Biao's legs were, he couldn't outrun the monster behind him. He felt a foul wind rushing towards him from behind, and then he was pressed to the ground by a tremendous force.
Then the bear asked, "Is it him?"
Shangguan Biao struggled to lift his head and saw only a pair of shoes appear beside him.
"I'm not him! You've got the wrong person!" he pleaded, struggling. "I haven't offended you, I haven't hurt anyone!"
“Yes, you’re just stupid.” The red figure looked at him coldly and said, “Every time I look at you, I find you laughable. Thousands of years have passed, and you haven’t improved at all!”
Several, several thousand years? Shangguan Biao didn't understand, but the red figure had already reached the front, and he could see the other person's face.
"You, you, you!" Shangguan Biao was shocked. This face looked so much like his own, only a bit more weathered. "Who are you? What do you want?"
“You were the one who helped outsiders against me before!” the red-clad figure replied. “Now, I’m just returning the favor. I’ll kill him!”
This last sentence was said to the Bear King.
He cannot eliminate his former self with his own hands, but he can rely on external forces.
Who says people can't change their old selves?
Looking at the physique of the Violent Bear King and then at the scattered servants, Shangguan Biao knew that his death was imminent and there was no chance of survival.
He suddenly burst out laughing.
The Bear King asked in surprise, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at myself!" Shangguan Biao's smile was extremely bitter. "Ha, I wish I had chosen that bag of Xuanjing!"
Fate had once given him two choices.
Xiaoying is still waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. If he had chosen to take that bag of Xuanjing down the mountain back then, would he have been able to avoid this unexpected disaster? Would his life have been different from then on?
He was trying so hard to survive, so eager to escape the mire, so why did he choose to stay and climb upwards when faced with a choice of fate?
Is it fate playing tricks on us, or is it because of that damned red demon?
Hearing his words, Red Shadow became even angrier and said to the Bear King, "Kill him, quickly!"
The Violent Bear King bit off Shangguan Biao's neck in one bite.
Blood spurted five feet, but no miracle occurred.
He died with his eyes wide open, still reflecting the red shadow in front of him.
In his eyes, the red figure's features were very clear—
Shangguan Biao!
Then, the Duzhishan Secret Realm came to an end.
The medicinal fields, the ghost claw locust tree, and all the people of Changfeng Valley, both on and off the mountain, vanished from the spot.
The Bear King felt a blur before his eyes, as if a filter had been peeled away, and the surrounding scenery changed.
The demon army is still in Duzhi Mountain, but there are no three rows of houses, no medicinal fields, and no living people here!
Only the wind blows through the tall grass, and the shadows of the trees sway gently.
"The secret realm has disappeared?" The Bear King muttered to himself, then asked the red figure, "What about now?"
Shangguan Biao did not answer immediately, but asked it, "Are you still loyal to me?"
“Of course, of course!” the Bear King said blankly, “My Mother is my guiding light, and I have always been devoted to you!”
"Swear a blood oath," Shangguan Biao demanded, "that you will never betray me under any circumstances!"
"Yes!" The Bear King swore a solemn oath, "As long as I can breathe, as long as I am conscious, I will never betray Mother! Otherwise, may I be melted to death!"
There used to be an acid pool in Yujing City where monsters would throw in the hides and bones of their leftover prey, which would then dissolve. So "dissolving bones and flesh" is not just an empty curse, but a very cruel way to die.
Shangguan Biao then said nothing more.
The ground suddenly began to tremble again, and rocks fell from the mountainside.
“The Panlong Ancient City has begun to devour this place.” Shangguan Biao knew time was of the essence. “Follow me.”
He asked the Bear King to distract the other monsters, and then led it to a large tree.
These are all ancient trees. The bear king shook his big head back and forth before confirming that the old tree in front of him was actually a five-clawed locust tree.
Its appearance was very weathered, quite different from that in the secret realm, and the Bear King didn't recognize it at first.
Shangguan Biao stood at the base of the tree and pointed downwards:
"dig!"
The bear king's thick forepaws are excellent tools for digging.
It buried its head and dug and dug, until it dug to a depth of ten feet, when it touched something under its claws.
A round ball the size of a duck egg.
It looks like an oval, milky-white stone, but it seems to have some rainbows flashing inside, as if the light has been captured inside the stone.
The Bear King wanted to get closer for a better look, but Shangguan Biao urged it, "Pick it up and put it away, including the Juluo wood underneath!"
Oh, so that big piece next to the round stone wasn't a tree root?
The Bear King picked up both items and asked Shangguan Biao, "Your Majesty, what are these?"
"Keep it close to your body and don't let anyone find out." Shangguan Biao was too lazy to answer its question, and as always, "Now, leave Yujing City as fast as you can!"
"Oh," the Bear King responded, somewhat reluctantly, "but there are still many supplies in the city. Should we take some more for future use?"
“Lingshan and Cangyan will soon occupy this place,” Shangguan Biao said coldly. “The longer you stay, the slimmer your chances of leaving Yujing City become. If you’re not afraid of taking it but not being able to spend it, then go ahead and search.”
But he was also well aware of how greedy his men were, so he quickly reassured them, "I have several more treasures hidden outside of Yujing City. Just leave the city, and I'll take you there later."
"Ah, alright then." The Bear King shrugged in a humane way, beckoning his men to leave Duzhishan and head towards the nearest West Gate.
The journey was fraught with difficulties, but fortunately, the Bear King's lieutenant, the Green Leopard Demon, was adept at reconnaissance, which helped them avoid several head-on collisions with the enemy.
Not only were the people of Lingshan running rampant, but the Violent Bear King even spotted the armor and weapons of a fourth force—
The Shen army, which had been stationed outside the city, actually entered!
I heard that it was another force under the command of a deity, called... Kshatriya? Sure enough, they've been hiding on the sidelines, waiting to be opportunists.
