Chapter 1170 - 566: Kunpeng Nest No. 9, Little Kunpeng in Danger (2)

Just sending the SOS signal would exhaust its mind; there’s only one chance.

It was trapped in the snare.

After pondering, only this human Cultivator had the ability to save it.

So it immediately sent a distress signal to Jiang Fan.

"Damn it."

In an instant, Little Kunpeng Ming let out a scream, as if it had been attacked mysteriously.

The connection between Jiang Fan and Little Kunpeng was instantly severed.

Attempts to reconnect were blocked by some mysterious power in the void.

There was no doubt, Little Kunpeng Ming had indeed landed in big trouble.

"To think it encountered trouble in the Northern Continent?!"

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes slightly.

Previously, he had already known that Little Kunpeng went to the Northern Continent.

After all, given Little Kunpeng’s skills, it could go anywhere in the Void Realm.

Moreover, it was very familiar with Void Power, able to travel through the void freely.

Even when faced with an unbeatable enemy, it could swiftly escape.

And every time it went out, Little Kunpeng could acquire a trove of Treasures, quite wealthy.

But now it seemed Little Kunpeng had indeed hit a snag.

Because although the Void Realm seemed safe, it actually harbored hidden threats.

Especially the peculiar lurking in the shadows.

A slight misstep in contacting them could lead to the risk of demise.

Clearly, Little Kunpeng Ming had gotten into big trouble this time.

If Jiang Fan didn’t go to save it, there was a large chance it would die.

Boom~~

The next second, another message entered deep into Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness.

"Kunpeng Ming is trapped in Kunpeng Nest No. 9, bound by the soul-exchanging anomaly, facing nine deaths and one life, but what you don’t know is that it is not Ming speaking to you, but the soul-exchanging anomaly, which wants to lure you to Kunpeng Nest No. 9, to capture you all in one go."

"Destiny will give you hints."

"Destiny Hint One: The soul-exchanging anomaly is a terrifying peculiar, capable of silently replacing the soul of a being and taking over their place. Unknowingly, some beings are replaced by the soul-exchanging anomaly, but it’s almost undetectable by outsiders. During the Ancient Era, many Great Powers and True Spirits fell victim to the soul-exchanging anomaly’s schemes.

And the soul-exchanging anomaly conceals itself within Kunpeng Nest No. 9, intending to double-cross the Kunpeng, replace the Kunpeng’s soul. It has waited for countless years and finally awaited Ming’s arrival.

Ming has not fallen because of the Destiny Dao Contract you signed with Kunpeng Ming. Although the contract binds it, it also allowed it to survive the soul-exchanging anomaly’s attack; otherwise, it would have perished instantly.

The soul-exchanging anomaly knows this too. To succeed in the soul exchange, it needs to kill you as well, for the contract’s power to dissipate. Therefore, it disguises itself as Ming’s voice, attempting to trick you into coming to Nest No. 9, to ensnare you all."

"Destiny Hint Two: Knowing the soul-exchanging anomaly’s plot, you can choose not to go to Nest No. 9. Although temporarily, Ming will not be killed by the anomaly, but it will not hold for long, probably ten years at most, it will be completely devoured by the anomaly, turning into the living dead, and you will also lose an ancient True Spirit cub. Meanwhile, the soul-exchanging anomaly’s power will also grow, further weakening the Void Realm’s origins."

"Destiny Hint Three: If you choose to go to Kunpeng Nest No. 9, beware as it is a massive spatial maze. If you are not a Kunpeng cub, you can easily get lost in the maze, become entangled in space turbulence, and never find the real Kunpeng Nest. However, with the destiny hints, finding the true Kunpeng Nest is not too difficult for you.

But even if you find the true Kunpeng Nest, your next enemy is the soul-exchanging anomaly, it covets your soul, waiting for an opportunity to devour it.

However, the soul-exchanging anomaly is indeed terrifying; it can conceal itself in any creature’s shell, invisible and difficult to kill, nearly possessing an undying body.

Fortunately, you have the Ancient Secret Treasure, Exquisite Tower; you can completely imprison the powerful and terrifying anomaly within the tower, eternally restraining it."

Sensing this information, Jiang Fan’s eyes glimmered with brightness.

He knew this time Little Kunpeng’s captivity wasn’t simple; perhaps there was a conspiracy hiding behind it.

But he never expected the enemy to be such a terrifying peculiar.

Undoubtedly, these peculiars from the Ancient Era have long hidden within numerous ancient cave mansions.

They wait for the moment to awaken.

If a Cultivator with insufficient luck accidentally ventures into these cave mansions, they gain not an opportunity, but a frightening calamity.

Sometimes the emergence of Ancient Cave Mansions is not necessarily a good thing, but rather a sign of impending disaster.

"This is disaster, but also opportunity."

Jiang Fan clenched his fist.

Though the soul-exchanging anomaly was terrifying, according to destiny hint information, it was not impossible to handle.

And once this peculiar is resolved, he not only saves Little Kunpeng.

He also gains the Treasures within the Kunpeng Nest and weakens the peculiar’s power.

This is a win-win scenario.

Therefore, this journey to the Northern Continent is imperative.

Whoosh!

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan made no hesitation and immediately opened the Gate of the Void to head to the Northern Continent.

......

Meanwhile, in a certain area of the Northern Continent.

This is the Kunpeng Nest No. 9.

This is the lair that Little Kunpeng Ming’s father built during the Ancient Era.

As the saying goes, a crafty rabbit has three burrows, and so does a Kunpeng.

It built different lairs all over the world, filled with treasures it accumulated over many years.

However, these lairs are filled with endless death traps.

Even a Mahayana Cultivator entering would face certain death.

Because this is a massive space maze, like a space beehive, embedded deep in the void.

Ordinary cultivators can’t even find the entrance to this lair.

Even with luck, finding the entrance, the true danger only begins upon entering.

Within the space beehive are countless isolated spaces.

Each isolated space is filled with deadly traps; stepping inside almost guarantees death.

Finding the only correct path to reach the deepest part of the lair is nearly impossible.

That’s why no one dares to set foot in the Kunpeng Nest.

The Kunpeng Nest has always been one of the safest places in the Void Realm.

However, at this moment, the Kunpeng Nest is undergoing a bizarre invasion.

In the deepest part of the lair, a Kunpeng matured in a massive blood pool.

This is the blood pool left by the old Kunpeng, containing unimaginable energy.

Because this consists of medicinal liquid condensed from many Ancient Spirit Medicines.

For Kunpengs, it provides immense benefits.

A juvenile Kunpeng can enter the blood pool to accelerate its growth.

After Ming arrived at Kunpeng Nest No. 9, it immediately discovered the blood pool left by its father.

It was overjoyed, never realizing this place harbored great danger.

It suddenly fell victim to the Soul Swap Demon’s scheme.

At this time, black aura emerged from its body, like a black net attempting to pull out its soul and completely devour it.

"Kid, surrender quickly."

"Even your father was killed by us."

"You’re just a juvenile Kunpeng; you’re no match for us."

"If you surrender now, you might avoid some pain."

The Soul Swap Demon spoke.

"Shut up, my father isn’t dead, and you couldn’t have killed him."

"You dream of making me surrender."

Little Kunpeng Ming was both shocked and angry.

It now deeply regretted coming, never imagining its father’s lair was already invaded by enemies.

If not for the Dao Contract on it, its soul would’ve long been devoured.

It would never have survived till today.

"Heh, still daring to resist?!"

"How long do you think you can hold on?"

"Earlier, I used your strength to send a distress signal to your contractor."

"It won’t be long before he’s here to rescue you."

"By then, you’ll both be caught."

The Soul Swap Demon boasted triumphantly, having done such things countless times with ease.

"How is that possible?!"

Upon hearing this, Little Kunpeng Ming’s face changed greatly, never expecting such a move.

If it were just alone, it might hold on for a while.

But if that human arrives, it really would mean being caught in one fell swoop.

It could only pray that this human isn’t so foolish as to be deceived by this demon.
