Xiao Chen picked up his pace and bolted quickly towards the illusory domain of Xiaoyue's memory. Even before entering, an overwhelming gust of Devil Qi rammed into his face. It was so strong that he could have sworn that it was the strongest Devil Qi that he had ever encountered.
The sky above the stronghold of the Thousand Feathers Sect began to fill with palls of dark clouds, blotting the sun from the idyllic floral terraces of the lush valley. Everyone inside the gardens was terrified by the sudden culmination of darkness hanging ominously overhead. Perfected Immortal Su Nian, with a group of seven elders, took into the sky, riding on their swords and began to assume orderly positions over the skies of a mountain peak. The eight of them, Xiao Chen realized, were defending the peak with a formation, the Universal Mystic-Yin Formation.
"What is going on, Sect Leader! The will of Master Qianyu, the Founder, had claimed that the one buried below is a perso
"Please slowly, Master Xiaoyue," said Xu Gu, his palms clasped together before his chest, "What did you see inside the cave?" As she frowned dejectedly, Xiaoyue began to relate to the rest of the company of their encounter with the sea of mutated vampire bats. "Oh no, what shall we do now?" One of the female disciples cried in dismay. "Heh heh heh heh!" A sneering giggle rang suddenly. It was Liu Chengfeng of the Order of the Silvery Moon. He was eyeing Qin Xinyan, the student from the School of the Savage Flames, contemptuously. "Brother Xiao, Brother Ye, and I were at the front, helping to clear our way," he said loudly with a wicked grin, "Brother Qin, you were retreating with Brother Lu beside you. Did you fail to notice him, a person and an adult, disappearing too?" Qin Xinyan retorted with a cold glare, embittered, "Are you accusing me? It was chaotic in there! How did I know that he was with me? Are you accusing me of not saving him o
A frightened scream from one of the female disciples after an hour's trek confirmed Xiao Chen's suspicion: one of the girls had found scraps of bones and teeth under her feet; the company's journey in the tunnel was filled with reverberating noises of bones being crush under their feet. The company could hardly believe that they had trodden upon a path literally laid out with the remains of countless dead people that even as practitioners trained in arcane skills, some of them, especially the female disciples, began to vomit with disgust. Xiao Chen was the only one unperturbed by the horrific epiphany; it was not his first time encountering such a spectacle, although he did not expect that the master of the Wuwang Wind Cloud City, like the leader of the Skygale Sect before him, was trying to set up the Blood Soul Formation to resurrect a dead person. Activating the Blood Soul Formation would require a price of countless human souls in additi
Step by step, Mu Chengxue approached the Corpse Champion with a heavy pace. Everyone could hardly believe their own ears, wondering if there was something wrong with their hearing. She had just called the dead man her brother! Confused and puzzled, the company could not understand what was happening; only Xiao Chen's and Yu Yifeng's expressions turned grim. Realizing what was happening, Yu Yifeng was the first to react. "Miss Mu! Come back! It's dangerous!" He exclaimed frantically. But his desperate warnings fell on deaf ears; as if she had heard nothing from him, Mu Chengxue only continued walking towards the corpse slowly, her face now drenched with pouring tears. "Brother..." she gasped between her convulsive sobs, "It's me... It's your sister..." What a horrific twist it was that a long-lost brother and his sister who had yearned for years to see him again had to meet in such fashion. Was this one of the difficulties in their life that
"Hahahaha..." Xiao Chen emitted a peal of frenzied giggles as he watched dazedly at the unsheathed Autumn Water in its magnificent grandeur, his face filled with melancholic misery. His weird and insane laughter caught everyone by surprise. The whole company was captivated by the divine splendor of the Autumn Water only to be distracted by his sudden change of demeanor. The brief episode did not go unnoticed by Xiaoyue; but being in the thick of battle against a foe so powerful, she could not afford being disturbed. With a flick of her finger, the Autumn Water answered her call with a high-pitched ring and shot towards the Corpse Champion in a blinding flash of light! The epic charge of the Autumn Water at its foe was so awesome that the Corpse Champion could feel the raging intensity of its force. For the first time in this battle, it sensed danger closing in. The zombie channeled its powers, the evil Qi exuding from its foul person billowed like a stron
The company emerged from the tunnel to find themselves surrounded by a mob of armed men with jet-black garbs that indicated that they were the sentinels of the Wuwang Wind Cloud City. Xu Gu muttered an "Amitabha" and was about to greet the guards politely, when Ye Wuhen rushed forward, swinging his sword and immediately drew first blood by killing the first two guards before him. The rest of the company, equally incensed by their tormenting ordeal in the Cold-billow Labyrinth, too brandished their weapons, charging towards the black guards of the Wuwang City. Despite their greater number, the guards merely possessed strengths of the Foundation Building Realm. Before long, the company made short work of them, with most of the guards either dead or badly injured. Qin Xinyan pulled one of the guards by the cuffs of his robes, snarling to him, "Where is the master of the city!" A glint of malice flashed in the guard's angry eyes; he produced a dagger hidden i
Xu Gu put his palms together devoutly and turned to face Xiaoyue, saying: "If your sect really encounters difficulties, Master Xiaoyue can just say it. We as fellows should all work together to help your sect tide over the difficulties." As fellows of the righteous course, he also did not want Xiaoyue to hide something from everyone. Xiaoyue's face changed and quickly said, "Brother Xu Gu, you must not listen to this person. I..." Before she finished speaking, the red-robed man burst out laughing. "If she is willing to say, why did the leader of the Thousand Feathers Sect incite the other four sects to kill the person surnamed Xiao thousands of years ago?" When he said this, other people in the hall were at a loss. But Xiao Chen's face changed. Thousands of years ago, many things happened in the five sects. The big devil, Gu Feng, was sealed by the true patriarch of the Xiao family in the Human World, Xiao Ning, who was surrounded and killed by the five m
"Brother ... brother?" Twilight into snow was awake for a few minutes, some can't believe I just heard the voice. The red-robed man gently turned around and slowly took off the hood on his head, showing a beautiful face. Everyone gasped. The man looked exactly the same as the Corpse Champion they had seen in the underground palace. Xiao Chen's previous speculation was indeed true. This was Mu Luo, Mu Chengxue's brother. But he did not expect that Mu Luo was the master of the Wuwang Wind Cloud City. Why was he opening the Blood Soul Formation? At this moment, he found something. Although Mu Luo looked like a living person, he had no trace of life at all. He was a soul body! The Corpse Champion they saw before was his body. He actually refined his own body into a Corpse Puppet. He had gone through so much effort to activate the Blood Soul Formation. Was he trying to resurrect himself? Mu Chengxue walked over step by step. She fin
All eyes were on the third sarcophagus. People were guessing who was the one inside. Xiao Chen also looked dignified. With a bang, the coffin lid went up into the sky, and two people floated out of the sarcophagus. Everybody exclaimed because the two people turned out to be Lu Jianxing and Liu Chengfeng who had previously gone missing. Xiao Chen was slightly shocked. Did he misunderstand Xiaoyue? The two men were captured by Mu Luo undetected? At the moment, Lu Jianxing and Liu Chengfeng looked panic-stricken and were constantly shouting for help. But they seemed to be bound by some limitation, so they were completely unable to move and involuntarily moved to the red radiance. Mu Luo looked crazy, and he laughed in a low voice. "They have innate Spirit Soul. I will take them! Thank you for sending such a good sacrifice!" "Stop!" Xu Gu thundered, but he was engaged by Leng Ningfeng and couldn't go away. Xiao Chen w
