Chapter 499 - 260 Asura Queen_2
Chapter 499: Chapter 260 Asura Queen_2Jiang Shouzhong turned his head to look in the direction where the shadow had just disappeared, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.
Ran Qingchen and Li Nanshuang had been missing for several days now. Since both women were highly skilled in cultivation, Jiang Shouzhong was not too worried, guessing that they might have gone to investigate something.
However, an intelligence report suddenly came suggesting a rescue mission, and Jiang Shouzhong could not ascertain the authenticity of the information at that moment.
Who was the source of the intelligence report?
Could this be a trap?
After all, his identity at that time was Jiang Yi, and if someone was directly asking him to conduct a rescue, either they knew his real identity, or they were just suspicious, attempting to test him deliberately.
Jiang Shouzhong was somewhat hesitant.
But in the end, he decided to take the risk and check out the situation.
"Master, I need to step out for a bit, I’ll do my homework when I return," Jiang Shouzhong said.
Dugu Luoxue didn’t make it difficult for him, and simply nodded in agreement.
Jiang Shouzhong changed into his night clothes and headed straight for the Su Family.
He had previously visited the Shura City in the underground palace, and one of the entrances was at the Su Family’s, so he made his way there with familiarity.
All along the way, his mind was fully concentrated, his spiritual senses extended outward, meticulously observing every slight movement of the wind and grass, yet he didn’t catch any trace of being followed, and his vigilance gradually dissipated.
Guided by memory, Jiang Shouzhong arrived at the now-ruined underground palace, and through the deep, long passageway, he came to the coast of the Black Sea.
The boundless black sea spread out like a curtain spilled from the vast night sky, stretching all the way to meet the horizon.
But unlike the calm mirror-like surface last time, the Black Sea was seemingly stirred by an invisible force at the moment, with raging waves continuously churning as if a great demon was causing a storm beneath the sea.
"Roar—"
From the dark shadows, a massive figure suddenly emerged.
It was the tiger demon used specifically to carry people across the sea.
The tiger demon, originally looking fierce and malevolent, paused abruptly when it saw Jiang Shouzhong clearly, glancing around as if to make sure the blade-carrying woman who had beaten it up last time was not present.
Once sure she was not around, the tiger demon breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to roar at Jiang Shouzhong, demonstrating its king-of-tigers demeanor.
"Carry me to the other side," Jiang Shouzhong said.
The tiger demon snorted through its nose.
Jiang Shouzhong wasn’t in the mood for any fuss, so he took out the Zodiac Map and raised the Seven Kills Blade, pretending to be about to capture it.
Having already seen Shangguan Yunjin use this divine instrument to capture the ink dragon in the Black Sea, the tiger demon was taken aback at the sight of the Zodiac Map, immediately dropped its aggressive demeanor, and obediently went into the sea.
Looking back, it even hummed subserviently towards Jiang Shouzhong.
It seemed to be saying: Brother, I was just roaring a bit, why are you getting so edgy?
Jiang Shouzhong put away the Zodiac Map and sat on the tiger’s back.
The tiger demon swam towards the other shore.
Upon reaching the shore, Jiang Shouzhong signaled for the tiger demon to wait, while he entered Asura City to
It was both revolting and frightening.
"Keep talking, what’s the deal with this Shura Hall of the Dead?" Li Nanshuang asked curiously.
Ran Qingchen shook her head: "The records in the Archive Hall aren’t very clear; too much information is missing. After all, many records were destroyed when the previous dynasty fell.
The gist is that aside from Ancestral Shura, the true leader of the Asura Clan was a woman named the Asura Queen. She was notorious for her heavy bloodshed. The white bones we saw outside the palace were her handiwork."
