"Ha ha, you discovered it too late! Although I am not of the Poison Attribute type, most of the trees in this dense forest contain deadly toxins. You have been pierced by the Iron Vine in your shoulder, and the poison has already entered your body; you won't last much longer! Unless you have my Serpent Demon Clan's secret medicine, even if you rely on your profound cultivation to resist, you can only live a few more days!" The leader sneered, his face filled with delight.
Zhang Mingyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "There's nothing I can do..."
His body suddenly swayed, looking as if he might fall at any moment.
Wang Long felt anxious and prepared to step in to save him, but unexpectedly...
Zhang Mingyi, who seemed to be collapsing, suddenly shot forward like an arrow, swiftly arriving in front of the leader with a dagger shimmering with flames firmly aimed at his throat!
"Impossible! You were poisoned by the Iron Vine; you should be paralyzed and unable to move. How could this be happening..." The leader was held at bay but still couldn't believe what was occurring.
Zhang Mingyi tightly gripped the dagger, a smile appearing on his face. "You must have heard that in Dragon City, it is most difficult to kill someone from the Zhang Family. Do you not understand what that means?"
"...Indeed, I have heard of it. What does it mean?" The leader had calmed down.
Zhang Mingyi explained, "That refers to the unique talent of the Zhang Family—Divine Ability—No Leak Heavenly Heart. It grants us an extraordinary understanding and perception of all things in this world, allowing us to sense our surroundings and the fluctuations of people's hearts better and faster than others, especially being extremely sensitive to impending danger."
"And so what? I saw you get pierced by the Iron Vine with my own eyes..."
"That was merely a trick. Although I am not proficient in my Shen Walking Dragon Technique, I can still shift your line of sight just enough to make you see me bleed a few drops."
"You mean you sensed it before the Iron Vine appeared..."
Zhang Mingyi shook his head. "I naturally did not know that such a miraculous vine existed. However, I could tell that you had a backup plan and would always be on guard. Well then, I've revealed many secrets of my Zhang Family to you; now it's your turn to share everything you know about the Serpent Demon Clan's plans!"
The leader suddenly burst into laughter. "Good, good! Truly worthy of someone from Dragon City and a member of the Zhang Family! I indeed underestimated you all; however... thinking you can get the secrets of my Serpent Demon Clan from me is wishful thinking!"
"You... are you going to go back on your word?" Zhang Mingyi's eyes flashed with a hint of anger.
The leader sneered, "I am a member of the demon clan, not like your human race, who always speaks and acts consistently without regret! However, I just promised you that if I lose, I will reveal the secret. But if I die..."
"You!"
Suddenly, the leader stretched his neck sharply, and Zhang Mingyi's blazing fiery dagger sliced through it as easily as cutting tofu, severing his head completely, which rolled onto the ground.
Blood immediately gushed out!
"Dad!"
The little girl in red cried out and fainted from fright.
Even Wang Long, Jiang Xue, and Zhang Mingyi were stunned.
"Miss!" A few remaining demons saw the situation was dire and quickly grabbed the leader's corpse along with the unconscious girl, watching everyone warily while occasionally glancing at their escape route.
"You all should leave!" Zhang Mingyi sighed.
Those people still didn't believe it. When they saw Zhang Mingyi turn away, they exchanged glances and quickly fled, disappearing into the dense forest.
"Ah, this person could be considered a master based solely on his cultivation. What a pity..." Zhang Mingyi shook his head and sighed.
Wang Long nodded and said, "Indeed, I didn't expect there to be such fierce loyalty among the demon clan."
Jiang Xue suddenly said, "When it comes to treachery and deceit, who can compare to the human race?!"
Zhang Mingyi glanced at her but shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
An awkward silence ensued, and Wang Long quickly spoke up, "So what should we do next?"
Zhang Mingyi sighed, "In any case, we each have our own responsibilities. We must prioritize our mission. Just now, I placed a special curse mark on that leader. No matter where they run, I can track them... Let's go!"
Wang Long felt a stir in his heart. He wasn't surprised by Zhang Mingyi's meticulousness; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to work within Dragon Hidden. However, he had just been admiring the other's loyalty and bravery, yet at the moment of the leader's death, Zhang Mingyi had immediately planted a tracking curse. The depth of his thoughts was indeed not to be underestimated.
"Ah, they went south. It seems there's a cliff there; could it be..." Zhang Mingyi said as he hurriedly followed up. Wang Long and Jiang Xue had no choice but to follow.
After chasing for less than two or three miles, they reached the edge of the dense forest, where a sheer cliff loomed below, shrouded in mist. The Serpent Demon Clan members were nowhere to be seen.
"Could it be that they are below this cliff, in the deep valley?" Wang Long hesitated.
Zhang Mingyi replied, "I can sense the location of the curse mark; it's right beneath this swirling mist. It seems these serpent demons are hiding very well... Let's go!"
"Go? Where to? This is a cliff; this bottomless Valley—how do we get down..." Wang Long couldn't help but shake his head.
Suddenly, Jiang Xue stepped forward without saying a word. With a swift motion of her clothes, she leaped down!
Zhang Mingyi's eyes flashed with brilliance as he glanced at Jiang Xue falling into the Cloud Sea below and lightly exclaimed, "Strange, how did she... Never mind, let's go too!"
With that, he pulled Wang Long along, and the two of them leaped into the surging Cloud Sea as well.
A wave of dampness engulfed Wang Long's body, making it impossible for him to open his eyes. The surroundings were shrouded in mist, resembling a chaotic scene of creation.
However, this ethereal sensation lasted only a moment. Wang Long felt as if he had bumped into a tree, and suddenly he was gently bounced back, causing him to open his eyes wide. He realized he had fallen onto an ancient tree and quickly reached out to grasp a branch, halting his descent.
Jiang Xue and Zhang Mingyi had also steadied themselves on nearby branches. Just as Wang Long was about to ask a question, Zhang Mingyi suddenly raised a finger and said, "Shh, be careful."
At that moment, Wang Long understood that the mist was part of the demon clan's formation designed to confuse people. He admired Jiang Xue's decisive leap but wondered if she could sense the secret behind it.
As the three drew closer together, they heard Zhang Mingyi whisper, "We must be near the Serpent Demon Clan's lair. There might be some traps or guards around; we need to proceed with caution."
"Remember, our goal is to investigate the demon clan's activities. We must not alert them... Hey, that phrase fits perfectly here! But if we do alert them, it's certain that the three of us will meet our end here."
After saying this, the three of them silently descended from the tree, floating down like feathers without making a sound. To lessen the noise upon landing, they grabbed onto some vines to lower themselves slowly.
However, as soon as their feet touched the ground, alarms rang out all around them.
"Intruders detected! Alert! Immediately take action to find the intruders!"
"Oh no..." Zhang Mingyi sighed with a bitter smile.
