Chapter 177 The Third Spirit Butterfly
Yunlong and Yunkong exchanged a glance, both showing bewildered expressions.
"Who said it was human?"
Ye Kang remained silent.
A moment later, the two Taoist priests burst into laughter.
"I see. So young friend Ye didn't know. I'm sorry I didn't explain clearly. My third junior brother's beloved daughter is actually an injured little white snake that he found in the lake many years ago. Later, the white snake recovered from her injuries but was unwilling to leave. My third junior brother also liked her, so he named her Nuannuan and raised her as his daughter."
“Name the snake Nuannuan…” Ye Kang was momentarily confused.
"If that's the case, why does the White Snake disappear every year?"
"It's molting, of course! Nuannuan is a naturally unique species. She molts once a year, and each time she molts, she grows a size bigger. This year, she has grown to the size of a water buffalo that can swallow it whole."
As Master Yunlong spoke, he began to smile like an aunt.
Clearly, Master Yun Kuang was not the only one who treated her like a daughter.
Upon hearing the words "shedding skin," Ye Kang suddenly recalled his snake-shedding supernatural ability.
The memory of how he first acquired this supernatural power flooded his mind, and his eyes lit up.
"Two Daoist masters, I might actually know where the White Snake went..."
"Young friend, you jest. You've never even met Nuannuan, how would you know?"
Ye Kang frowned slightly and voiced his guess.
"Not long ago, I encountered a group of people from the Thousand Absolutes Sect capturing a large red-scaled python in the rainforest. They didn't want to kill it, but only wanted to capture it alive, so they must have other purposes for it."
"What! Is this true?!"
The two Taoist priests' expressions changed instantly, and even their long white beards seemed to blew up.
Ye Kang nodded and said, "I wouldn't dare to lie, this is absolutely true, but I don't know whether Nuan Nuan was also captured by the Thousand Absolute Sect."
"Damn it! Snakes are our good friends, how dare you do such a beastly thing!"
Master Yunkong gritted his teeth, his expression furious.
Master Yunlong's murderous aura was revealed as he said, "If Nuannuan hadn't been captured by them, that would be fine. But if it really was the work of the Thousand Absolutes Sect, I also know a little bit of martial arts."
Both of them were burning with rage and had very straightforward personalities, so they didn't care how many experts the Thousand Absolutes Sect had.
"Young friend Ye, thank you for reminding us. We'll go and interrogate the Thousand Absolute Sect right away!"
After saying that, the two ignored Ye Kang and flew straight towards the deep water area.
The two old Taoist priests, whose combined age was nearly two hundred, were walking with incredible speed and their aura was terrifying.
Ye Kang didn't follow; he calmly analyzed the situation.
The Thousand Absolutes Sect possesses three unparalleled skills. Even if the two Taoist priests are powerful, they probably won't gain any advantage. As long as the other party insists on denying it, they will be helpless.
"This won't do. If I can't find Nuannuan, when will I be able to get the Jade Lotus Root? Moreover, since Nuannuan is so important, I need to put in even more effort. Perhaps, I can even solve the problem of the Inheritance Land at the same time."
Having made up his mind, Ye Kang immediately sped off in another direction, like a swallow soaring through the clouds.
He had the map of Poyang Lake given to him by Lu Qi, so he also knew the location of the Thousand Absolutes Sect.
Like the Crane Spirit Sect, this sect is directly stationed on a water island, with each island serving as a separate sect.
Ye Kang chose a route that was closer to the two Taoist priests, so when he arrived at the waters near the Thousand Absolutes Sect, the two Taoist priests had not yet arrived.
Ye Kang was not in a hurry. Instead, he hid under a patch of water hyacinths, concealed his presence, and waited quietly.
Soon, a large ship sailed into the water, with an Iron Fist flag flying on its bow.
Good guy!
Isn't this the Iron Fist Clan's ship?
How did I end up here?
Ye Kang had a vivid memory of the Iron Fist Sect, after all, he had personally killed Elder Hao of the Iron Fist Sect.
Therefore, he had no liking for this group of brutes who only tempered their fists, and without hesitation, he chose them.
He quietly crept to the stern of the ship and sensed that there were only two innate guards at the stern.
With a thought, he activated the Hundred Flowers Sword Finger, and a pink sword aura shot out from the water, instantly piercing through the heads of the two people.
Before their bodies even fell to the ground, Ye Kang had already flown up and caught them one in each hand.
He casually threw a rather ugly corpse into the water.
Then, with a light tap of the fingertip, a blank, enchanting blue butterfly appeared on the fingertip.
He carefully examined another, more handsome corpse, and at the same time silently used his true energy to outline the person's facial features in his mind. With a flash of the spirit butterfly, he completely copied all the features of this person.
After completing the Thousand Illusions of the Spirit Butterfly Body, Ye Kang had three spirit butterflies. Ye Kang only used two of them: one was Mr. Kang, and the other was Wang Yintai.
Now, he used the third spirit butterfly. With a thought, the spirit butterfly merged into his body, and Ye Kang instantly transformed into the corpse at his feet.
After changing into the clothes the corpse had been wearing, Ye Kang kicked it down.
Having done this so many times, Ye Kang was already very familiar with it and felt no psychological pressure whatsoever.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind them, and two Iron Fist Sect disciples walked over and said, "Junior Brother Song Xian, it's time to change shifts. Go back and rest. Hey? Where's Junior Brother Zhang?"
So this unlucky guy's name is Song Xian. Okay, from now on, this will be my fourth identity.
Ye Kang laughed and said, "Old Zhang has already gone to sleep, so you two senior brothers don't need to worry about him."
"What! This lazybones is so lax; he'll never amount to anything."
"That's right. If you ask me, it has to be Junior Brother Song Xian. Although his talent is low, he has a good master. Given time, I'm afraid none of us senior brothers can catch up with him."
The two of them took turns praising each other, employing a strategy of flattery to kill.
Ye Kang sensed the sarcasm in their words and sneered, "You two senior brothers are too kind. If you work hard, you won't be overtaken by me by much."
"you!"
The two men turned pale and clenched their fists.
One person said, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Song to be so bold today, daring to talk back!"
As he spoke, the man reached out to slap Ye Kang.
The next second, Ye Kang caught the slap steadily and slapped back with his own hand.
Snap!
The man was spun around two and a half times after being slapped, and one of his teeth broke out.
Ye Kang said, "What's wrong, Senior Brother? Are you getting too old to even slap someone anymore?"
Upon seeing this, another person exclaimed in shock, "Song Xian! How dare you hit someone!"
Ye Kang sneered, "You can hit me? But I can't hit you? What kind of logic is that?"
"you wanna die!"
The man gritted his teeth, and his fists were instantly covered with a layer of true energy.
Just as he was about to make his move, a furious shout came from behind him.
"What are you doing! The Thousand Absolutes Sect is almost here. Are you trying to disgrace our sect by fighting on the ship?!"
Ye Kang immediately turned around and bowed, a faint smile playing on his lowered lips.
That's right, he had already sensed that a master was coming, so he deliberately showed off his skills to increase his influence.
Sure enough, the two senior brothers turned pale with fright when they saw the newcomer and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Qian, it was Song Xian who attacked first!"
"Shut up! You really think I didn't see it? You two, stand guard properly. Song Xian, you come with me."
