Chapter 1578 (Raw 1560): The Hearts of Men Are Evil

The night was gorgeous. As Xiao Chen drank the Thousand Year Flame, he was not aware that the blue-clad old man and the half-step Primal Core Realm old man had found out about his conflict with the Black Lotus Church as a result of a leaked wanted notice.

The two old men were preparing to fall out with him, not to concern themselves with him anymore.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away, there was another bonfire where a man and a woman sat discussing the same thing.

These two came from another great realm and the same sect—the Spirit Star Palace. The man was called Bai Feng and the woman was Liu Ye, who were fellow disciples.

Due to their greater strength and their friendship, these two did not move together with the other disciples of their sect.

There were many such groups in Profound Yin Island’s inner area. After all, it was better if there were fewer people for things like Baleful Yin Energy.

“Senior Brother, we are really lucky. We managed to find three-hundred-year-old Baleful Yin Energy on the first day,” Liu Ye said happily, a smile filling her face.

“It is just three-hundred-year-old Baleful Yin Energy; it is nothing. It can’t push us to the peak of the Yin Essence Stage. However, we are rather lucky. After casually chasing and killing a ferocious beast, we happened to sense the presence of Baleful Yin Energy.”

Bai Feng shook his head, dissatisfied. Furthermore, he was very cautious. “We need to be careful after this. When we were collecting that Baleful Yin Energy, it felt like someone noticed us.”

“Senior Brother, you are worrying too much. We already went far away and even checked several times. We already lost that person,” Liu Ye said, not caring about it.

“It is better to tread carefully. We should not sleep tonight.”

“Right, I’ll listen to Senior Brother.”

Just at this moment, wind suddenly blew. The bonfire swayed left and right.

This startled both Bai Feng and Liu Ye, causing both of them to stand up warily at the same time.

“Who’s there?”

“It turns out it was friends from the Spirit Star Palace. The two of you do not need to be anxious. I am the Clear Feather Sect’s Wei He. Earlier, I was being chased by a ferocious beast and managed to shake it off after much difficulty. I saw that there was light here, so I came over.”

Wei He revealed an expression of pleasant surprise in the darkness as he looked at the two.

Seeing that the other party was just one person, Bai Feng and Liu Ye released their bated breath.

“So, it is the Clear Feather Sect’s Wei He. However, my junior sister and I are not accepting outsiders into our group. Since you are alone, please leave us.”

Bai Feng calmly asked the guest to leave. It was late at night. The other party was clearly here to seek partners. Of course, they would not permit it.

Wei He appeared stunned before smiling. “Without my saying it, Brother Bai guessed my intent. In that case, I will not force it. Goodbye.”

Right after Wei He spoke, a gust extinguished the bonfire. A horrifying scream rang out in the dark night, then got cut short.

“Junior Sister!” Bai Feng called out loudly. In the earlier moment, his junior sister had probably lost awareness of her surroundings and fallen into Wei He’s vicious hands.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

A strong wind blew again, and a few more figures appeared in the darkness.

Bai Feng focused his mental energy in his eyes. The dark night could not obstruct his vision. His complexion turned ashen as he took in the new arrivals. Then, he said through gritted teeth, “The Clear Feather Sect’s Wei He, the Lotus Sect Temple’s Feng Yun, the Flying Cloud Mountain Manor’s Tuoba Lang...I will definitely kill you all to take revenge for Junior Sister!”

Aside from Wei He, there were four other people, all of them Yin Essence Stage experts.

Wei He smiled coldly. “Revenge? Don’t overthink. Rest assured. We will reunite you with your junior sister soon.”

“Haha! However, it will be in the netherworld!” the Lotus Sect Temple’s Feng Yun laughed loudly as he charged forward together with the other four.

After a while, Bai Feng, who fought alone against five, fell in a pool of blood, dying in dissatisfaction.

Seeing the two corpses on the ground, Wei He said coldly, “Brother Feng Yun, it is your turn.”

Smiling faintly, the Lotus Sect Temple’s Feng Yun formed hand seals with both hands, and a lotus flower appeared under his feet.

A black Buddhist figure appeared behind Feng Yun. Then, the Baleful Yin Energy in the two corpses was slowly forced out.

The pair had just refined the Baleful Yin Energy and had not converted it into Yin Essence Energy and completely merged it with their flesh yet. Hence, Feng Yun could use the Lotus Sect Temple’s method to force it out.

Without a word, the five sat down cross-legged. After that, they greedily absorbed this pure Baleful Yin Energy to strengthen their cultivation.

When the five finished absorbing the Baleful Yin Energy, Wei He opened his eyes and revealed a satisfied smile. “This is really great. If this continues, our Yin Essence Stage cultivation will become stronger. We will get several times more Baleful Yin Energy than before.”

“This is all thanks to Brother Wei He and Brother Feng Yun. Without the two of you working with us, we would not receive such benefits,” the Flying Cloud Mountain Manor’s Tuoba Lang said with a smile.

Wei He said humbly, “We still have to rely mainly on Brother Feng Yun. Without Brother Feng Yun’s Lotus Sect Imprint, no matter how good my eyes are, they would be useless.”

Wei He’s eyes were extraordinary, able to accurately judge who recently absorbed Baleful Yin Energy or who completely refined Baleful Yin Energy and merged it into their flesh.

With one look, Wei He could make out the difference and point out a target to the five.

“This one month just started. When the time is up, we will all definitely advance to peak Yin Essence Stage.”

The corpses of Bai Feng and Liu Ye had not turned cold yet and were still covered in fresh blood.

However, the five people sitting cross-legged were chatting happily, without a care.

Even the darkness of night could not compare to the hearts of these five.

The next morning, Xiao Chen’s trio was preparing to depart when Ao Jiao said from the Immortal Spirit Ring, Little Yellow Feather is about to break out of its shell.

“The two of you, I’ll go check things out first. Wait here for me,” Xiao Chen said to Fei`er and Luo Nan after he turned around.

Luo Nan wished that Xiao Chen would go farther away, so that he could be alone with Fei`er. Hence, he quickly agreed.

“Big Brother Xiao Chen, be careful,” Fei`er reminded. She assumed that Xiao Chen was going to search for more places containing Baleful Yin Energy.

After parting from the two and seeing no one else around, Xiao Chen took out the Golden Crow Egg.

He saw that cracks already covered it. Soon, the shell shattered.

Little Yellow Feather appeared with its wings spread out amid a golden flame.

A large amount of golden light spilled out. Having been ready for this long ago, Xiao Chen flung out his sleeves, and saber lights shot out, forming a saber formation for sealing, hiding all the mysterious phenomena.

When the light scattered, Little Yellow Feather, who had undergone a nirvanic rebirth, appeared before Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao.

Compared to the previous golden glistening little fellow, this time, Little Yellow Feather was covered in feathers that had a withdrawn golden glow. It looked very ordinary. All its brilliance and Divine Beast’s might were hidden under the feathers.

Ao Jiao spread her hands and said joyfully, “Little Yellow Feather, quickly come over.”

Little Yellow Feather flourished its wings and flew happily to her, chirping endlessly.

Previously, when Little Yellow Feather was just born, it was like a baby. Ao Jiao was the one who raised it.

Xiao Chen knew that Little Yellow Feather was on very good terms with Ao Jiao, so he smiled faintly and did not interrupt their reunion.

After a while, Ao Jiao turned her head and said, “Xiao Chen, Little Yellow Feather says that it can help search for Baleful Yin Energy. Such an extremely cold thing is of a clashing attribute with it, so it can easily find Baleful Yin Energy.”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he rejoiced. As an extreme Yang creature, the Golden Crow was naturally sensitive to Baleful Yin Energy, feeling uncomfortable around it.

Although Little Yellow Feather did not like Baleful Yin Energy, it was willing to do this; it could search much more easily than they could.

Nevertheless, after thinking for a while, Xiao Chen rejected, “I’m grateful for its kind intentions. However, it just hatched. I do not want it to take such a risk. I have my own ways to find Baleful Yin Energy.”

“That’s not what it meant. It said that there is a Yin-attributed energy that it especially detests. Even when hidden in the Immortal Spirit Ring, it could feel that energy. Hence, it needs to get rid of that energy.”

Xiao Chen laughed hoarsely. He had thought that the Golden Crow’s character had matured, showing care and concern for him.

That’s not right!

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s expression changed. It must be the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy.

The thing that could make the Golden Crow uncomfortable even inside the Immortal Spirit Ring had to be the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy. Any other Baleful Yin Energy was not that horrifying.

Xiao Chen said with a grave expression, “Ao Jiao, tell it that it must find the location of this Baleful Yin Energy. However, it must never take action alone. After it finds the location, just inform me at the fastest speed possible.”

Seeing Xiao Chen’s expression, Ao Jiao quickly repeated the instructions to Little Yellow Feather several times before letting it go, although she remained worried.

Xiao Chen frowned and said, “This little fellow won’t mess around, right?”

“I already repeated the instructions many times. It probably won’t mess around,” Ao Jiao said somewhat uncertainly.

Xiao Chen shook his head. “Never mind. Let’s go back first. If any accidents happen, we can just leave this Profound Yin Star.”

In the following few days, Xiao Chen used his Dragon Seeking Art to search for ominous geography.

Perhaps he already exhausted his good fortune. After trying a few times, the three did not find any Baleful Yin Energy. Instead, they ran into danger several times.

Finally, ten days later, just as Luo Nan’s forbearance was about to break, the three, fortunately, found thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy.

Xiao Chen did not say anything. No matter how Fei`er rejected, he pushed this Baleful Yin Energy onto her.

After Fei`er successfully refined this Baleful Yin Energy, the three came out of the chasm.

—

“Brother Wei He, there are three people over there coming out from underground. They seem to be Tianyi Sect disciples. See if they managed to gain anything.”

Wei He’s group, which was searching for targets, happened to spot the three from a distance.

“The Tianyi Sect...I have some impression of them. Let me take a look.”

Wei He smiled faintly and shifted his gaze over.
