Multi-colored sunlight erupted from the southwestern side of the mountain range, with countless white rays of light beaming from within and illuminating the horizon. Inside those pillars of light were faint, flickering, and constantly transforming rays of light in seven colors. It was a breathtaking sight.
The twenty or so pursuers from the Corpse Refinery Sect stared at the unnatural phenomena taking place in the southwest direction, dumbstruck. They seemed to have forgotten Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue altogether. One of them said, "The extraordinary treasure is born! Hurry, return to the sect and inform the Elders!"
The rest said little after recovering their senses. Without even sparing Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue a glance, they hastily flew back to their Sect on their swords.
Staring at the flickering seven-colored lights above the mountain range, Xiao Chen was suddenly felt dazzled. "Let's go and have a look!"
The two of them re
"Young Master, why aren't you speaking anymore..." Su Lianyue's voice reverberated inside the forest, so soft and gentle it seemed like she was trying to melt the entire place. Xiao Chen must have inhaled something, for he was becoming increasingly dizzy. Staring at the woman's snow-white neck, all he wanted to do was take a bite out of it. Her neck... Her neck... Wait, something was wrong! "Take this, you evil creatures!" Xiao Chen pushed her aside with tremendous force and instantly whipped out his Unsullied Immortal's Sword. The sword flared with a dazzling white light, scaring Su Lianyue so much that she turned pale. Before she could run, the sword whizzed, transformed into a white light, and flew toward her. It pierced through her with a sharp cutting noise. "Su Lianyue" immediately turned into a three-tailed fox. The creature made a panicked escape, disappearing amid the fog. Xiao Chen put away his Unsullied Sword. He was
After a long time, Xiao Chen finally felt himself landing on the ground. His vision also cleared up. What appeared in front of him was the opening to a quiet valley, filled with towering trees and green grass cushioning the forest floor. There were gigantic flowers of every color imaginable everywhere. The flowers were particularly thick and solid, some of them even as tall as a human. They fluttered as wind swept them. These must be the rumored Exotic Man-eating Flowers. "You're finally here? I thought you wandered off elsewhere." Su Lianyue stood next to a bluestone stele, gazing into the distance. The breeze swept her, billowing her sleeves. She was the very picture of a fairy in the human world. Xiao Chen walked up to her. "You jest, Fairy." He stared into the distance, where all he saw was range upon range of towering mountains that seemed endless. "The Rancorous Qi here is intense. We must be within the vicinity of Ghost-wailing Hill."
"Swoosh!" It was the sound of someone jumping from the tree. Then there came a voice carrying a hint of mirth. "What a coincidence. So you're here too, Brother Xiao and Fairy Su." The Unsullied Sword and the Purple Jade Flute returned to their owners. Su Lianyue smiled. "So it's Brother Seven Killings. You should've informed us about your arrival beforehand. See, we weren't able to welcome you properly." In the dark of the night, a man dressed in red strolled up to them. In his hand was a gleaming steel fan and on his face was a faint smile. Seven Killings walked to the bonfire and smiled at Xiao Chen. "Brother Xiao, we meet again." "Yes, we meet again," Xiao Chen replied placidly, a cold glint flitting across his pupils. To think that he didn't notice this man approaching them. Like Su Lianyue, he must have not shown his true strength in the siege against Danyang Zi that night. Su Lianyue said with a smile, "In the past two da
Disciples from both the Light and Dark sides gathered over from a great distance away after a while. From the cluster of figures, there were about 3000 of them, and everyone was shook as they lifted their heads dazedly to gaze at the Divine Tree of Seven Colors. It should only have existed in the Heavens; what were the odds of them actually being able to see one in the Mortal Realm? Some of them tried to climb the divine tree but were all blocked from doing so by the Seven Colored Light shielding the tree. At this moment, the disciples had formed into two camps that stood facing off against each other, with Immortal Swords and magic treasures in hand. Both camps were evenly matched in terms of numbers and neither dared to make any reckless move for the same reason. Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue hid behind a huge rock, and the former's brows were tightly furrowed. His gaze fell on the Seven Colored Divine Tree and he remained motionless while muttering, "There
In a spot far away, Xiaoyue and Seven Killings were engaged in a titanic battle. She narrowed her eyes to see the Divine Tree nearly uprooted by three people, and from her experience, she knew that it possessed immense suppressive abilities. She could use it to suppress that person from Thousand Feathers Sect who had died a few millennia ago! She swept her duster as she thought about this to block Seven Killing's attack and shot toward the Divine Tree light a bolt of green light. Her opponent would not allow her to leave so easily, however, and tried to launch another attack to stop her. Xiaoyue blocked it away and replied coldly, "If the extraordinary treasure fell in that person's hands tonight, neither you nor I can even dream of obtaining it!" Obviously, she was referring to Xiao Chen. Seven Killings looked far away at the Tree and furrowed his brows. Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in concentration, Xiaoyue unleashed her Coalesced Colors Equa
Xiao Chen raised his saber to block the Corpse King's fearsome sword stroke, and he immediately felt as though a huge mountain was crashing down upon him. He was forced to retreat by this immensely powerful force and only managed to steady himself after retreating for about 30 meters. His heart sank as he realized that he Corpse King possessed more than a millennia's worth of Malicious Grudges and had absorbed a great deal of blood and Rancorous Qi from the slain cultivators earlier on. He had no way of striking it. On the other side, the Perfected Immortal Rising Void and Heavenly Eagle King had just earned a moment to catch their breath when the Corpse King came attacking again. In their haste, they could only dodge flurriedly, while the Corpse King charged directly into the crowd of cultivators. He could even fly and tunnel through the ground, creating a pool of corpses everywhere he went, while blood kept flowing toward his body. The entire Ghost-wail
After a short while, a large number of disciples from the Corpse Refinery Sect had gathered in the skies above the black clouds. Those on land had changed their expressions, while Xiao Chen was still facing off in a silent battle against the Corpse King in the clearing in the middle. Suddenly, a purple figure darted across and grabbed Xiao Chen before fleeing along with him. It was Su Lianyue, and Luo Shangyan wanted to charge forward upon seeing that before she was stopped by Qin Shaoyang. "Don't go, Junior Sister Luo. It's best to allow both of them to flee in the chaos." The crowd was becoming a little chaotic, as everyone's attention was focused on the sudden appearance of Corpse Refinery Sect disciples. As such, no one noticed that Xiao Chen was gone. Su Lianyue dragged him into a cave far away, and as the small mountain that it belonged to had been destroyed by the Corpse King's Sword Qi, the entrance to the cave was basically sealed o
In the moonlight, the green shirt of the person swayed, and the face was like still water, without waves or ripples. The person held the Duster sword, Su Qingyue smiled seductively and said, "Little sister, it's you." That person was Xiaoyue, who had left earlier. Instead of looking at Su Lianyue, she kept her eyes on Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen looked at her, and said faintly, "Fairy Xiaoyue, we've met again." Over the past year, too much had happened, and now, he was no longer as afraid of Xiaoyue as before. Xiaoyue took two steps forward, and there was finally a slight change in her expression at this moment. She frowned and murmured, "Could Brother Xiao give me the extraordinary treasure?" Su Lianyue giggled, "Little sister, you stretch your hand fast." Xiaoyue continued to ignore her and looked at Xiao Chen, said, "Can you? It matters to the world..." Xiao Chen knew what she was going to say next, he smiled and said, "Sorry. The
