Flustered, the young man did not know what to do.
And Jing Hong looked relatively cold and aloof.
"I... Erm..." the young man stuttered nervously. For the first time since becoming a Sixth-grade Human King, he felt as powerless and timid as a mouse.
But she was just so beautiful, so divine; that even a proud son of the Sanctuary could not help feeling himself depraved and vulgar.
"I'd suggest you hold your tongue," said Jing Hong suddenly.
She had not been listening to what Yan Wushuang had been talking to the young man about, but she could almost guess that it must be something against Chu Xun.
The sudden and brusque remark bludgeoned into pieces what confidence the young man had, leaving him defeated and yet dissatisfied. After all, he had always enjoyed the pride of being a handsome and talented young prodigy.
Meanwhile, Feng Zijian managed to escape Yan Wushuang's clutches and he quickly r
Yan Fandie was so enraged that he had Yue Jingchou apologize to Chu Xun and Yan Wushuang on his knees.But Chu Xun hardly looked any more assuaged."YOU WORTHLESS WRETCH! OF ALL PEOPLE YOU COULD'VE OFFEND! YOUR UNCLE?!" So was Yue Fandie's anger – hardly subsided not one bit – as he jabbed his finger at Yue Jingchou and said, "And, how dare you strike Master Yan?!""Easy, Brother," said Chu Xun, "Dealing with Yan Wushuang was my idea.""Heavens, Brother, quit speaking on behalf of this worthless whelp." Yue Fandie glowered at his youngest son. "I sentence you to one hundred strokes of lashes and an indefinite stay in the dungeons to reflect on what you did! You're not to come out without my say-so and GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"The "one hundred strokes of lashes" filled the faces of Yue Hongbo and his brothers with horror. Yue Jingchou would most undoubtedly be flogged raw by the end of it – if he survived it.
It was totally dark in the deep cave, which was full of surging foul aura.Chu Xun now was with the Body of Soul. He performed the Soul-calming technique and formed a piece of armor with his divine sense to protect himself.Compared to real flesh, the soul was very fragile.There was a pale white halo around Chu Xun, which made him look like a star in the dim cave.The cave seemed bottomless, and Chu Xun walked all the way down.When he reached 200 meters, he could faintly hear the clattering sounds of the chains.Chu Xun walked deeper and deeper, and now he was about a thousand meters underground, yet, he hadn't reached the bottom."How deep is this cave? Does it run through the earth?" Chu Xun wondered.Chu Xun felt that he was more than four or five kilometers deep in the cave, but he still hadn't reached the bottom.No... Chu Xun suddenly stopped.He
Chu Xun did not believe this strange-looking man.This man looked at him with a mocking expression.The two of them stared at each other silently."Oh," the strange-looking man suddenly said as he adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, "I forgot to tell you something.""Go ahead," Chu Xun replied."This is the place where the Subterranean Devils Clan is sealed. It's a wonderful space, or we may also call it a world.""I agree, as so many people have been made into lunatics here," Chu Xun said indifferently.The corner of the strange-looking man's mouth twitched. He knew that Chu Xun was mocking him, but he didn't care. He continued with a smile, "The wonderful part about this place is, when an hour passes here, a whole day passes outside."Chu Xun's eyes widened in surprise, and he blurted out, "Highly-curved Space."The strange-looking man looked at C
The vortex kept spinning, shining with white light.Chu Xun looked serious at the moment. Whether he could get out of here depended on whether he could find the Eye of Formation. Thus, he didn't dare to neglect anything.His divine senses enveloped the entire formation, but he failed to find the Eye of Formation.Chu Xun was puzzled. He started to ponder why he could not find it."I must have missed something."Chu Xun managed to calm down and began to search again.A moment later, a streak of purple light shot out from the vortex and flew toward the strange-looking man.The man was surprised, and he raised his hand to shatter the purple light.Chu Xun glared at the man angrily. It turned out that the Eye of Formation was on this man. "What an excellent formation skill!" Chu Xun thought to himself."Give it to me." Chu Xun reached out his hand."What do y
The strange-looking man glared at Chu Xun, and his aura became furious.Chu Xun stood far away. As the strange-looking man was tied up by a chain, Chu Xun was not afraid that he would hurt him."Kid, you're going to die right there!" the strange-looking man said angrily.Chu Xun gave him a disdainful smile and glanced at him coldly. Then, he sat down cross-legged, wanting to remove the Poison of Fire inside his body.The strange-looking man looked at Chu Xun quietly and pursed his lips in disdain. He could tell what Chu Xun was going to do."Kid, with your current cultivation, it's simply impossible for you to remove the Poison of Fire."Chu Xun ignored him and began to practice the Hong Meng Scripture. The Poison of Fire had already begun eroding his soul.Inside his body, those furious elements of fire were consuming and eroding his Spiritual Body, aiming at his heart and spreading toward hi
The volcano erupted and magma flowed. There was no day or night in the land where the Subterranean Devils Clan was sealed. The sky was always misty, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.Chu Xun was buried under rubble. When he came back to his senses, he didn't know how long had passed. He was clear-headed again and knew well about the current situation of his body, which was so fragile that it could be shattered by the slightest touch. Moreover, the Poison of Fire had eroded all of his Spiritual Body. He didn't know when he would become demonized again."Am I really going to die here?" he wondered to himself.He was unwilling to die there. During the 3,000 years when he was in the other world, he had gone through countless hardships. He was really unwilling to die in this small sealed land.He couldn't die there. His parents, Jing Hong, Little Wu, and countless people that cared about him were waiting for him to return.
The stranger never ceased the channeling of his power and Chu Xun voraciously soaked every ounce of it with his Firmament Chains assimilating them immediately while increasing Chu Xun's powers too.The stranger grinned. He was pleased with the progress. Any longer and the poison in his body would be utterly gone.Apparently, so was Chu Xun. His soul was gaining power steadily.This went on for five daysThe strange hermit looked utterly different now. His dried grassy mat of hair had regained back its black and glossy luster and his aura now more powerful and rich. Even his scrawny midriff and torso now looked as if they had inflated into larger proportions, looking more muscular and sinewy.Much had Chu Xun gained as well. His astral projection might not have ascended the Third Stage of his Divine Sense, but he reached the peak of the Second Stage with his ethereal form looking very real and corporeal."O
The radiation of the Zombies' aura churned in dark plume-like smolders rising up the air like fulminating beacons of war.At their chieftain's signal, the host of Zombies threw themselves forward."Kill them all!"Yue Fandie thundered a defiant battle cry.Jing Hong darted to the front, her white cloth lancing through every enemy she found like spears.Puff! Puff!Her blows caught two lesser Zombie Kings in the throat. With a shake of her cloth, she channeled jets of energy to destroy their heads."Blasted woman!" cried the chieftain, honing in on Jing Hong now.Meanwhile, another one-armed Eighth-grade Zombie King who had lost its arm to Yue Fandie cried, "Yue Fandie! Time for you to repay the debt you owe me!""You managed to escape that day. I'll never repeat that mistake again," growled Yue Fandie, charging to meet him in battle."You shameless monste
