Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 375 - Distribute The Dragons' Carcasses

Chapter 375 Distribute The Dragons’ Carca.s.ses

There was an ocean of joy behind the city walls, whereas outside, Ou Yangming and the other people had a tricky problem with the three humongous creatures’ carca.s.ses.

Nonetheless, the powerhouses were not looking worried; they only looked at Ou Yangming because they were hoping to get a share of the Earthly Dragon Beasts’ flesh and skin.

The creatures were Earthly Dragon Beasts, after all. They were powerful creatures from another realm, hence every part of their bodies contained enormous energy. Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was the only one who killed the three dragon beasts. While the other people did contribute, they did not play a key role in it.

n.o.body would object to it if Ou Yangming wanted to claim the trophy for his own.

Needless to say, based on their understanding of the young fellow, they knew he would not take everything for himself. Therefore, they looked at the carca.s.ses fervently.

Ou Yangming expressed after some thought, “There are three Earthly Dragon Beasts here, and I suggest we present one to His Majesty.” The other people were taken aback. In particular, the Supreme Great Ancestors from the capital cursed, ‘We were so silly! Her Highness is here, yet we didn’t think about the imperial family! If Her Highness bears a grudge against us because of this, won’t we be doomed?’

“That’s right. Blessed by His Majesty, we were able to slaughter the Earthly Dragon Beasts, so the biggest one should be presented to His Majesty.” Woo Lejia was the first to agree with

‘He’s the imperial dog indeed; he’s so skilled at flattering the emperor,’ the other people cursed internally, but they dared not express it on their faces. They nodded as though it was the right thing to do, worried that Wu Hanning would see through them. Elder Universe furrowed his eyebrows. “It’s fine if we give one Earthly Dragon Beast to the imperial family, but the deed belongs to Lil’ Friend Ou and has nothing to do with His Majesty.”

Woo Lejia and the other people gasped at the same time after the elder spoke. They looked at each other as if they were saying, ‘You’re dead.’

‘You must be tired of living to have the guts to say that in front of Her Royal Highness.’

Who knew, Wu Hanning said in a deep voice, “Yes, you’re right, elder. Brother Ou was the one who rendered the greatest deed.”

Elder Universe nodded as he was pleased. He finally had a good impression of the young lady.

Due to Ni Yinghong, the elder was initially quite wary of the young lady, who carried Ou Yangming around during the crisis. Seeing as she was willing to risk offending the imperial family to agree with him, he was delighted. He stroked his beard and asked, “You said it very well. Which clan are you from, child? What’s your name?”

Woo Lejia and the others were speechless when they heard how the elder prided himself on his seniority.

Wu Hanning lowered her head and answered, “I’m Wu Hanning. Greetings, Elder Universe.”

Elder Universe was stunned. As for the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors and the Supreme Great Ancestors from the prefecture, their eyelids twitched.

‘Wu, Han, Ning…!

‘Her name sounds familiar…’

“You’re Her Royal Highness the Princess?” Elder Universe questioned.

“Senior, you’re a prestigious figure who has experienced the Humans’ disaster twice. I’m nothing but a little young lady as compared to you,” Wu Hanning responded.

Elder Universe had lived for many years, and his face was as thick as the city walls, but he could not help but blush at that moment. The elder let out a hollow laugh and replied to the princess, “Your Highness, you’re good with your words… Hehe, I was being discourteous.”

After knowing who the young lady was, the people from the prefecture began having more sensitive thoughts, but n.o.body dared to object to Ou Yangming’s suggestion anymore. With that, one of the carca.s.ses of the powerful half-spirit beasts from the upper realm was allocated to the imperial family.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat and continued, “As for the second carca.s.s, you may distribute it after having a discussion.” He paused to look at the city walls behind them and added, “Of course, allocate some for the prefecture’s military and the governor too.”

“Of course.” Woo Lejia immediately agreed and laughed. “This is Changlong County’s prefecture, so everything should be per the prefecture’s will.”

Ni Jingshen shook his head and remarked, “Brother Woo, you’re being too polite. You’re the guest, so you should get the bigger share.”

They were sure another 70 over Supreme Great Ancestors were on their way here and belonged to these people’s clans. Even if it was so that the great ancestors would give their all for the fight, Ni Jingshen and the others could not have any contradictions with them regarding this matter.

Despite that, Chen Yixian and the capital’s great ancestors remained humble. They had a big plan ahead, and they did not want to offend Ou Yangming because of this.

Ou Yangming frowned when he heard their disagreement. “You can discuss this later. This belongs to me,” he said as he pointed at the last Earthly Dragon Beast’s carca.s.s.

“Of course!”

Everyone uttered almost at the same time.

“Since we’re done, quickly work together to get rid of these three fellas.” Ou Yangming nodded and looked into the distance. “The sooner we settle this, the sooner we’ll be ready to deal with the spirit beast.”

The other people looked grave and were no longer overjoyed about their victory like they were before.

“This is strange; the three big fellas are dead, but why hasn’t the spirit beast shown up?” Elder Universe added, “These three creatures are probably the spirit beast’s greatest forces, so theoretically, it should’ve come to help them…”

The Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors frowned but could not figure it out too. Given that they were from an inherited aristocratic family, if they were clueless about this, the other people were even more puzzled.

Ou Yangming looked at the people and said, “The beast herd will return at any time, so let’s get to work first.”

He flashed and jumped onto one of the Earthly Dragon Beasts, where he retrieved a magic saber and began to slice it up.

Although the Earthly Dragon Beast was dead, its skin was still incredibly tough, thus magic tools were the only weapons that could be used to penetrate it. After seeing Ou Yangming get to work, the sensible Supreme Great Ancestors with magic tools followed suit.

Of course, the other Supreme Great Ancestors a.s.sisted them by arranging the large pieces of meat neatly.

The city’s gate was already opened and carts were pushed toward the scene.

After numerous people working together for 2 hours, they finally cleaned up the ma.s.sive creatures.

Only then Ou Yangming and the others were relieved.

Throughout the process, they were constantly alert because they were afraid that the beast herd would return without warning and catch them off guard.

Having said that, when everything ended and the Earthly Dragon Beasts’ flesh was sent to the prefecture, the powerhouses were confused.

‘What exactly is that spirit beast thinking? Why did it watch the Earthly Dragons Beasts, who had wonderful combat powers, die on the battlefield?’

It was true that the Humans would benefit from the situation, but they somehow became more worried.

After entering the city, Ou Yangming looked around and noticed a familiar face.

His face changed slightly, and he greeted in a deep voice, “Brother He, long time no see.” He Liangce nodded and cupped his hands like a gentleman. “Brother Ou, congratulations.”

Ou Yangming was startled. “Why are you congratulating me?”

He Liangce looked at Wu Hanning and expressed openly, “Congratulations to the two of you.”

Wu Hanning blushed and looked away.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming’s face darkened, and he questioned madly, “Brother He, what do you mean?” He Liangce could not help but laugh. “Brother Ou, we’ve heard rumors about you. Though I was previously doubtful about this, I have to believe it now. Her Highness was willing to risk herself for you, so isn’t that enough proof?” Ou Yangming could not stay too far from the Earthly Dragon Beasts when he performed the Simulated Spiritual Fist. When the creatures killed each other, the area they were in became the most dangerous area.

Even so, Wu Hanning carried Ou Yangming and dodged the Earthly Dragon Beasts together regardless of her status. The fact that she was willing to be in the life-or-death situation with the young fellow was enough to explain everything

“Brother He, Her Highness and I don’t share that kind of relations.h.i.+p whether you believe it or not…” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded, and he smiled bitterly.

Wu Hanning’s face darkened, but she stood up straight as she was stubborn.

That said, she seemed lonely and soft.

He Liangce was struck dumb, and he instantly shut up. The other people around them sensed a penetrating chill as well, so much so that the Supreme Great Ancestors who initially wanted to connect with Her Highness backed away without a sound.

Everyone knew the princess was in a terrible mood at that moment. If they were to approach her, they would only experience bad luck. Ou Yangming was dazed for a while. He looked embarra.s.sedly at Wu Hanning and felt rather guilty about what he said.

The young fellow was distressed. ‘I’m not personally connected with Wu Hanning anyway, but why did my heart ache a little when I saw the look on her face?’

Wu Hanning looked deeply at He Liangce and turned to leave.

Woo Lejia hesitated for a while before he signaled Ou Yangming with his eyes and followed the princess.

He was not the imperial family’s protector, but given the circ.u.mstances, he could only play the role for the time being.

Ou Yangming pursed his lips and curbed his thoughts, then he bowed at Ni Jingsheng. “Senior, where’s Elder Sister Ying?”

Ni Jingshen sighed and answered, “Yinghong’s cultivating in the secret realm. Big Yellow’s there to keep her company, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Cultivate? Cultivate what…” Ou Yangming asked.

“She’s cultivating the n.o.ble Sacrifice Secret Technique,” Ni Jingshen replied honestly after some thought.

“The n.o.ble Sacrifice? Hehe, senior, before all of Changlong County’s men die, there’s no need for a lady to get involved.” Ou Yangming later looked up and asked proudly, “Gentlemen, what do you think?”

Chen Yixian laughed out loud and noted, “Brother Ou, you should say that a lady shouldn’t go on the battlefield before all of the Humans’ men are dead!”

The 25 Supreme Great Ancestors burst out laughing with confidence.
