Chapter 118: Rain King Deduces Shi Hao's Location, Respectfully Invites the Rain God's Decree!
The Rain King's voice was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger. Yet, the surrounding air became damp and viscous because of that single sentence, making those nearby feel suffocated.
Hearing this, a Rain Clan elder hurried forward and reported with an uneasy expression:
"Reporting to the ancestor, the North Sea… is in chaos."
"The Kunpeng nest has opened ahead of time, with no restriction on cultivation."
"His Majesty the Human Emperor, that one from Demon Spirit Lake, and the Venerables from Heavenly Divine Mountain and other forces have all personally gone."
"Hmph, these people."
After hearing the report, the Rain King let out a cold laugh. A trace of disdain flashed through his eyes.
"Since they've all gone, if our Rain Clan joins the excitement now, we probably won't even get a sip of soup."
Although he was confident, he also knew that in such a meat grinder filled with giants, trying to snatch food from a tiger's mouth was nearly impossible.
Not to mention those ancient existences; even among the princes of the Stone Kingdom, he could not defeat King Wu, let alone contend with the Stone Emperor and others.
When it came to the Kunpeng Technique, if it truly fell into the hands of the Stone Kingdom, whether it would go to the Emperor or the princes was obvious even without thinking.
"However…"
The elder hesitated, then rolled his eyes and lowered his voice:
"Ancestor, the people we stationed at the edge of the North Sea just captured a rogue cultivator who escaped from the outskirts of the Kunpeng nest."
"This person… seems to have seen something extraordinary."
"Oh?" Hearing this, the Rain King raised his brow, immediately interested.
"Bring him here."
Moments later, a blood-covered rogue cultivator, already scared out of his mind, was dragged forward.
Even in such a state, he still clutched a relatively rare spiritual medicine tightly in his hand, clearly risking his life to escape that slaughterhouse.
Seeing this, the Rain King wasted no words. He directly placed a large hand on the cultivator's head.
"Ah!!!"
Under the Rain King's soul-searching technique, the rogue cultivator quickly let out a miserable scream, his body convulsing as his eyes rolled back.
At the same time, countless fragmented images flashed rapidly through the Rain King's mind.
It was a chaotic battle in the North Sea, with countless people fighting to seize Kunpeng's Tianhuang Halberd and a massive melee involving numerous Venerables.
However, at the very end of the scene, a particularly clear memory fragment was precisely captured by the Rain King.
Though it lasted only an instant.
In the image, it seemed a great battle had just ended, dust filling the air.
All the Venerables were nowhere to be seen.
Only a child, no more than three or four years old, stood carefree amidst the ruins.
In his hand, he casually tossed a primordial treasure bone emitting yin and yang energies, covered in dense runes!
Even with just one glance, he could recognize it as the Kunpeng treasure bone!
Not far from him stood a hazy woman shrouded in green radiance, her aura restrained and unfathomable, seemingly only guarding silently.
"That is… the Kunpeng's primordial true bone?!"
"A complete Archaic Vicious Ten Technique!"
After learning this crucial information, the Rain King suddenly opened his eyes.
His originally sinister pupils instantly turned blood-red. Even someone as experienced as him could not help but breathe rapidly.
"Good, good, good! Heaven truly favors me!"
Releasing the now brain-dead rogue cultivator, the Rain King burst into excited laughter.
"The Stone Emperor and that group of fools, including the demon spider, fought to the death up front, only for these two unknown nobodies to pick up the spoils!"
In his understanding, the various Venerables must have restrained each other or suffered heavy losses, allowing these seemingly harmless two—one big and one small—to take the treasure bone amid the chaos.
As for the woman in green radiance?
The Rain King did not take her seriously.
There was no scene of her making a move in the rogue cultivator's memory, only a vague silhouette.
In his view, she was at most a somewhat capable Inscription Realm cultivator, or at best a newly entered Formation Realm rogue cultivator, just lucky enough to be accompanied by a child.
If she were truly a peerless expert, why would she sneak around with a child?
And that was precisely what excited the Rain King.
If it were a normal competition, someone like him at the Formation Realm would be nothing in the Kunpeng nest.
He had thought that his seclusion would cause him to miss such an opportunity, yet unexpectedly, such a perfect chance had arrived.
Truly, the Rain God was blessing him!
Thinking of this, the Rain King waved his hand.
"Investigate!"
"Find out who these two are!"
"Ancestor…" The elder hesitated, then also searched through the rogue cultivator's memory fragments.
Suddenly, as if he had seen something astonishing, he stared at Little One's face and exclaimed,
"Look at that child… doesn't he resemble that one from back then?"
"Hm?" Hearing this, the Rain King recalled the image again—that carefree child tossing the treasure bone.
Those brows and eyes did resemble…
At that thought, a buried memory surged into his mind.
"Shi Ziling's bastard?!"
The Rain King narrowed his eyes and crushed the rogue cultivator with a single palm, murderous intent surging.
"He didn't die?"
"Not only is he alive, but he even obtained the Kunpeng Technique?!"
Old hatred and new enmity erupted completely at this moment.
Back then, the Rain Clan had participated in that matter and persecuted that lineage.
If this bastard were allowed to grow and master the Kunpeng Technique, would the Rain Clan still have a future?
Even Yi'er, even if he could defeat him, might not be able to capture him in the face of such extreme speed.
If that were the case, the Rain Clan would be in great trouble.
"He must be killed, and the technique taken back!"
"And then, eliminate the roots!"
Thinking of this, the Rain King immediately sat cross-legged, forming seals with his hands. An ancient bronze mirror appeared before him.
"Rain Dao Ninefold, connecting heaven and earth! Reveal!"
He intended to deduce the current location of the two.
After all, once they obtained the treasure, they would surely flee immediately.
If he went to the Kunpeng nest now, not only might he be too late, but even if he arrived, the result would likely be handing it over to the Stone Emperor.
But if he could deduce their location and secretly infiltrate, lying in wait, then the Kunpeng Technique would belong to the Rain Clan.
At that time, not to mention King Wu, even the Stone Emperor's position might need to change hands.
With this thought, the Rain King increased his power, trying to discern their whereabouts.
"Buzz!"
The bronze mirror trembled, waterlight flowing. The image began to blur, yet a layer of mist always blocked it.
"Hm? I can't deduce it?" Seeing this, the Rain King's face darkened, his mood turning extremely foul.
"Could it be that two mere ants possess a treasure that obscures heavenly secrets?"
"Or is it simply too far away, with too little information, making deduction based on appearance alone impossible?"
"No, this concerns the Rain Clan's ten-thousand-year rise and fall. No matter the cost, they must be found!"
At this thought, the Rain King hesitated briefly, then gritted his teeth and respectfully bowed toward the void.
"I respectfully invite… the Rain God's decree!"
