Chapter 283 Blight of the Infernal Aura
Xiao Chen rushed to the scholar and parried away the spears pointed at the man sitting on the ground. He yanked off the scarf wrapped around the neck of the weak man and saw a grotesque mark on his neck. The skin around the mark was badly raw that one could feel goosebumps just by looking at it; he must have scratched at his skin so many times that it had become so chafed.
The Three Friends came nearer. The sentries saw them and immediately greeted them with respect, "My Lords!"
"Young Xiao! Do not touch that wound!" Elder Plum warned quickly, although he did not dare to go any nearer.
But Xiao Chen did not move; he was looking hard at the mark. During the way to the city, he had spoken to the Three Friends about the blight of the infernal aura. Unlike infections of Devil Qi, which could be expelled by one's True Energy, this infernal aura taints also the minds of anyone who was afflicted. Not even one as powerful as the Nascent Soul Realm c

"Err... I..." Hesitantly, Xiao Chen's eyes wandered to Ye Lingfeng, remembering the Governor's falter just moments ago. This must be the matter that he had been tentative to broach. The silent awkwardness was broken by the sound of a deep breath from Ye Lingfeng. He spoke sullenly, "It's our daughter, Mulian. She was also infected just over a month ago..." "Over a month ago?" Xiao Chen frowned, dreading the worst. The scholar he had just rescued outside the city looked bad enough and he had only contracted the infection just a few days ago. Xiao Chen remembered Gui Xian suddenly and longed for his help, especially if the girl wanted to survive. "Please, Master Xiao," Lady Jiang (Ye Lingfeng's wife) wailed woefully, "Please save my daughter!" Ye Lingfeng looked equally anguished himself. As father to his daughter, it took every shred of fiber within him to hold himself back from plea for Xiao Chen's help to cure his daughter, bu

Cradling the packages of herbs, Xiao Chen retreated to a small cabin where he instructed a pair of maids to help him prepare a furnace. He busied himself in his work and returned four hours later, coming back to Ye Mulian's room with a bowl of medicine. Just as he walked in, the smell from the medicine filled the room with a pungent but naturally sweet-smelling aroma. Everyone gaped with silence, especially Gongsun Tai who eyed him with disbelief. "I can't believe that brewing medicine would take you so long," Zhiluan grumbled disdainfully, "What a shame." Xiao Chen merely smiled. He walked to the bed and placed the bowl down. "Come on, Leopard Cat Spirit," he said suddenly, "This bowl of medicine still needs something." "Ah? What else do you still lack..." Zhiluan muttered at first, before he noticed the knowing stare from Xiao Chen and a wicked smile curling on the edges of his lips. A sense of dread dawned upon him when he f

Huangfu Xin'er stood at the gate outside the yard, looking in her best since she got injured. Xiao Chen got up and brushed the soot off his hands. He walked over to her and said, "It's cold out here. You should be resting indoors." "I'm leaving." Her voice sent a chill down all that heard her as if her voice, like a glacier that never melts, was colder than the harsh frost around them, that the two young men were stunned beyond words. Xiao Chen's forehead curdled into a frown as he placed his hands on her shoulders. "It's not easy to return to Tianyuan City from here, Xin'er. How about resting for a few more days until you feel back, hmmm?" Huangfu Xin'er let out a cold and cynical smirk. Her eyes drifted to the herbs strewn across the cobbled ground of the yard before they shifted to the pestle lying idly on the ground and the mortal still containing half-grounded herbs. Derisively, she mocked, "The Young Lady must be a gorgeo

The seven dark-cloaked assassins had been waiting for them! The students of Elder Plum were startled to see themselves ambushed, "YOU! Who are..." Two magic bolts flayed at them before they could finish, but Xiao Chen reappeared out of nowhere to parry the magic bolts. He looked coldly at the seven assassins pursuing them. "You've come for me. Spare the others." He sent a jolt of True Energy into the Flying-cloud Stone, giving it a nosedive down to earth. With a deafening crash, it landed on the ground. "We'll be able to get to Tianyuan City from here. Leave everything else to me and go back!" With that, Xiao Chen lunged at the seven men. Elder Plum's students immediately steered their stone conveyance up into the sky and bolted back in the direction from whence they came. Huangfu Xin'er threw herself into the fray to assist Xiao Chen. With most of her powers returned, she turned into a deep scarlet mist that enveloped the seve

"The Pond of Gods and Devils? What is it?" Xiao Chen felt confused, although he could not shake off the strange sense of deja vu. He had heard Yi Tong mentioning this place once during the battle at the residence of Clan Zuoqiu, but that was all to it. Zhiluan burst suddenly, after being forced to remain quiet for so long, "I'm sure you know nothing of this, boy! In the calamitous war in the previous epoch, all six domains nearly collapsed. Only they didn't. But this does not mean that all was fine in the end. Breaches began to emerge between the domains, such as the places called the Deep Hatred Sky where Heaven meets the Mortal Realm, the Sea of Painful Sorrows where one can reach the realm of twilight, and the Pond of Gods and Devils where the link between here and the Domain of Evil exists...." Zhiluan continued proudly, seeing as everyone was staring wondrously at it while feeling immensely pleased with itself, "Suffice it to say that i
Dawn of the Gods Chapter 289 Mystic Domains
The furor simmered down, albeit with great difficulty. Everyone, especially the Elders of the League, was still very much anxious at the trio's safe return and they needed to hear from them what had actually happened that day. But it was an interrogation that needed to be done in private. The Elders mentioned nothing about the anomaly that caused their disappearance, speaking to them only about the next stage of the tournament. The anomaly had unsettled the public and it was imperative to avoid an all-out panic. To compensate Xiao Chen and the other two their lost time, the Elders agreed to allow them to enter any level of the Violet Illusory Land of their choosing. This was done with the acquiescence of contestants from other schools and sects, for they too acknowledged that Xiao Chen, Xiaoyue, and Huangfu Xin'er had been the top leaders in the race of the Forest of Illusory Moon and they were hence qualified to enter the highest strata of
Dawn of the Gods Chapter 290 Fragile Friendship
The following day, Xiao Chen, Huangfu Xin'er, and Xiaoyue were led into the upper level of the Violet Illusory Lands. Just as he stepped into the mystic domain, Xiao Chen could immediately feel the richness of the robust Spiritual Qi swirling around him. He was no longer in a dark cavern from which he had come from, but in an open field of a beautiful paradise. The glorious expanse of grasses that stretched far out of view, bedecked with lush trees and red blossoms while the rolling mountains and hills hemmed in the horizons took every breath out of Xiao Chen. A mystic domain of such size could only be possible with no expense spared, all thanks to the power and time contributed by countless conjurers in the past. The rich Spiritual Qi could only come from an Earth Spiritual Meridian; one that undoubtedly belonged to Tianyuan City. But to ensure that the spiritual energies from the Spiritual Meridian were not drained beyond capacity, the Violet Illusory L

"What do you mean?" The two youngsters were startled to be stopped by Xiao Chen. For a second, they stared at him wordlessly before one of them said to the other, as if woken up from a dream, "Let's go, Senior. This man's most likely mad." But before they could leave, Xiao Chen's face darkened. "I repeat once more," he growled, "Where is this Spirited Lingzhi you've spoken of!" "What Lingzhi? You must have heard us wrongly." His face now blackened with rage, Xiao Chen hissed like a snake boring down on its prey, "So I'll need to wring the truth out of you, I see..." The pair of apprentices felt themselves trembling as Xiao Chen's dark persona slowly took over. There was no way they would win against him in a fight. "YOU! WHO ARE YOU! ARE YOU INSANE!?" One of the boys screamed with fright. But the commotion attracted some people who crowded around them. Realizing this, the other boy yelled at the top
