Chapter 1398 Helping Heal the Little Lion~

Roar! Roar! Roooar!

Continuing to roar angrily at no one in particular, the winged lion demon beast continued to rampage and destroy everything around it. Killing and biting into even weak demon beasts at the Qi Condensation Realm before swallowing them whole, something that was highly unusual considering just how little help devouring such weak demon beasts would provide to the winged lion demon beast.

Then again... The current winged lion demon beast wasn't in the right state of mind, as it was overcome by the large quantity of demonic qi that it had ended up accidentally absorbing not long ago.

Whoosh~

BANG!

Arriving in front of the winged lion demon beast in such a state, Xuan Hao didn't bother playing nice, as he directly slapped it to the ground to stop it from causing any more problems. Flattening a small mountain by accident, as the winged lion demon beast stopped moving and instead looked up at the small figure that had appeared above it filled with fear.

Although it was driven to madness by the demon qi that it had absorbed, it looked like it could still feel fear when faced with a much stronger opponent. Showing that the winged lion demon beast hadn't gone completely mad and could still be saved before it ended up becoming no different from a demonic cultivator who lost their mind.

Even then... Xuan Hao felt like he shouldn't help the winged lion demon beast get rid of the demonic qi coursing through its body too fast... First... He had to teach this little pet of his that it couldn't just eat anything that happened to be filled with a strong vitality...

According to the winged lion demon beast, it had only nibbed off a bit of that demonic cultivator's leg before it broke through to the Second Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm and went mad due to the large amount of demonic qi contained inside the little bit of the corpse that it had ended up eating.

With that in mind, it was clear that this demonic cultivator was far more powerful than Xuan Hao had first expected when learning about what had happened to his little pet.

After all, this was still the border of the Star Shattering Sect and the strength of the demonic cultivators dying here were only between the Qi Condensation and Domain Lord Realm, with a few True Demon Realm demonic cultivators comparable to the Soul Ascension Realm dying to the winged lion demon beast every now and then.

But... From the explanation of the winged lion demon beast, it seemed like the corpse it had eaten from was not the body of a fallen True Demon Realm demonic cultivator that it had killed, but instead the body of a far stronger demonic cultivator.

Given that only nibbling a bit at the leg of this demonic cultivator had caused the winged lion demon beast to break through to the Second Stage of the Soul Ascension Realm, it was clear that this dead demonic cultivator had been far stronger than any of the demonic cultivators that attempted to enter the Star Shattering Sect's territory in the past.

Demon Lord Realm at the very least. Possibly even stronger than that!

No matter what, Xuan Hao understood that it was important for him to investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it. Especially so because such a powerful demonic cultivator had ended up dying. Leading to the question of who had killed him.

To kill such a powerful demonic cultivator inside the territory of the Star Shattering Sect and to do so without leaving any traces of such a battle in the first place, it was likely that the strength of the person who killed the demonic cultivator far exceeded the demonic cultivator. Leading to a situation where the powerful demonic cultivator had been killed without being able to fight back.

If it was Demon Lord Realm demonic cultivator, that would be understandable and expected to some extent, as a Celestial Immortal from the Blue Sea Empire might have passed through and killed him, but... If the demonic cultivator was above the Demon Lord Realm...
