The Legend of the Demon Hunter

"Suzaku Branch?" Xiao Zhu is now the president of the Xuanwu Branch of the Demon Hunter Association, but he knows nothing about the Suzaku Branch. He even doubts whether the Suzaku Branch exists.

Now, Guchuan, an outsider, actually said the name of the Suzaku branch, and also knew that this branch was just south of the Wangtianmen vein, which shocked Xiao Zhu very much.

"You mean, are we heading to the Suzaku branch now?"

"Not now." Furukawa shook his head.

"Before going to the Lost Continent, we still have a lot of things to do. The reason is that our strength is too weak, so we need to improve our strength first." Furukawa said.

"It sounds like you already have a plan." Xiao Zhu asked.

"Well, I have some immature ideas," Furukawa replied.

Xiao Zhu had worked with Gu Chuan twice before and knew that he had a very high IQ and a strong desire for control. He always had detailed plans for future actions. But today he said that his ideas were not mature yet, which showed that he was not completely sure about this trip to the south.

"What's your plan?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"We need to repair the sacred star disk first. When we have a complete star disk, we will be able to fight against the Beast King and the Hunter King in the future." Furukawa said.

"Okay, let's start!" Xiao Zhu replied.

After saying this, Xiao Zhu took out the white jade plate, and Gu Chuan also took out the hexagram. The two of them put the two fragments of the holy artifacts together. At this moment, a white light lit up, and a powerful spiritual power spread out with the star plate as the center.

Xiao Zhu and Gu Chuan were pushed away by a repulsive force and they took more than ten steps back. Fortunately, the repulsive force was very gentle and did not hurt them.

Xiao Zhu and Gu Chuan looked up at the sky at the same time, and saw that the white jade plate and the hexagram did not merge directly into one, but formed an intricate connection between them. A mysterious aura flowed between the two, lasting for a long time.

"What is this?" Xiao Zhu saw such a scene for the first time and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"It's [fusion]. The two parts of the holy artifact star disk can sense each other's existence, and they are merging into one again." A Xi said, looking at the holy artifact in the air.

"The fusion process is very slow. It seems to take a long time." Xiao Zhu said.

"Well, the power of the holy weapon is too strong. It will naturally take a long time for the two to merge. Judging from the speed, it will take three to five months at the shortest, or even a year at the longest to complete the fusion." A Xi replied.

"I didn't expect the fusion process would take so long. Axi, do you know how the star disk was split into two parts?" Xiao Zhu asked.

“I don’t know the specific process. I only know that the star disk was broken apart during the battle when the master broke through the realm. It’s hard to imagine what kind of power in this world can destroy the sacred star disk. It is the fourth-ranked magic weapon on the Divine Weapon List.” A Xi replied.

Xiao Zhu now knows that the Divine Weapon List includes the most powerful magic weapons in the world, and the top five magic weapons are called holy weapons. As for why they are called that, Xiao Zhu does not know.

Now he already knows the existence of two holy artifacts, namely Yuanwu ranked third and Xingpan ranked fourth. Yuanwu is in the hands of Changyu Jinnian, and Xingpan is in his hands. Xiao Zhu still does not know the whereabouts of the other three holy artifacts.

"Since the fusion of the star disk takes so long, we can put some things on the agenda first and complete them during the period of star disk fusion." Gu Chuan looked at Xiao Zhu and said.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"The improvement of strength I just mentioned actually has three steps. The first step is to fuse the star disk, and the second step is to use the spirit stones in the Heavenly Spirit Land to improve your strength. With the spirit stones you obtained from the ancient clan, it should be enough for you to break through to the middle stage of Soul Hunting. For the next period of time, you will retreat here and focus on achieving a breakthrough in your cultivation. As long as you can successfully break through to the middle stage of Soul Hunting, our team will be even more powerful." Guchuan said.

"Yeah." Xiao Zhu nodded. In fact, he had guessed this step. The spiritual stones in the Tianling Land must be absorbed as soon as possible. Improving one's own strength is the safest action.

"What about the third step?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"The third step, and the most important step, is that we must form a team as soon as possible." Furukawa said confidently.

"Team?" Xiao Zhu was a little confused.

"Well, now that the holy artifact has appeared in the world, several major forces on the critical continent have already taken action. I don't know whether the holy artifact is related to breaking the world, but judging from the performance of these hunter kings, combined with the legend of Jin Ling'er of the Red Lotus Sect a thousand years ago, the holy artifact seems to be a necessary condition for breaking the world. So our next journey south, in addition to looking for the Eternal Forest, we must also look for the whereabouts of the other three holy artifacts. I have a strong hunch that these unborn holy artifacts are very likely hidden in the south."

"You just mentioned several major forces. I can guess that the two major religions are the Red Lotus Sect and the Divine Snow Sect. The Demon Hunter Association should also be considered a major force. Are there any other forces besides these?"

"Well, the three forces you mentioned are the strongest. I simply call them the first-tier teams. In addition, don't forget the Novan College you once attended, and the several major sects in Tianfang Country. These forces all have hunting kings. Although the teams they form are not as strong as the former, they should not be underestimated. They can be called second-tier teams. These teams are all strong competitors for the holy weapon."

"What exactly do you mean by team?"

"It's very simple. It's a team of demon hunters formed by the Hunter King. Because no demon hunter is omnipotent, there are people in this team who are responsible for fighting, some are responsible for assisting, and some are responsible for obtaining information. This is the only way to maximize the combat effectiveness of the team. If such a team encounters a lone demon hunter, even if the opponent is the Hunter King, they can easily defeat him. After all, it is impossible for one person to defeat a team. And our goal is to form a team that is equivalent to a second-tier team." Furukawa explained.

"This is a great idea. Even if we are not competing for the holy artifact, forming such a team will be very helpful for our adventure in the south. What do you think about the members of our team?" Xiao Zhu asked.

"Well, besides you, me and Axi, I have already found two other people, both of whom are old friends of ours. I plan to take Axi with me to look for the whereabouts of these two people while you are in seclusion and waiting for the star disk to merge."

"Oh?" Xiao Zhu was very curious about the candidate that Gu Chuan had already selected: "Who is it?"

"Lin Xuemiao and Xia Shi." Gu Chuan answered decisively.

These two people are indeed the best choice. Lin Xuemiao's perception is very strong, and the importance of perception to a team is self-evident. Especially after Lin Xuemiao broke through to the Soul Hunter Realm, her perception can not only be used to see through the opponent, but also to conceal herself and even use perception to interfere with others.

But when Xiao Zhu heard Xia Shi's name, his heart seemed to be pricked by a needle.

"Shi'er... I don't know where she is now... something happened between us." Xiao Zhu said with a sad face.

"I don't care what happened to you, or the love between you. What I need is to find her as soon as possible, and then you can solve your personal problems, form a team that trusts and helps each other, and then start our journey to the south."

"The truth of this world is about to be revealed, and the secret of breaking the world is already at hand. This is the most important thing." Furukawa said firmly.
