Book 3: Chapter 24: Soul-Absorbing Blade
A few days later, the disciples of the major sects gathered outside the gate of Sky-Forging Castle and were ready to go.
Bai Qiuran and others also no longer waited for Yue Qianlian, who had not yet appeared, to prepare to go directly to the place where the ancient city would appear.
But just as everyone was about to leave, Yue Qianlian appeared.
His face was tired, and his clothes were crumpled. There were even some black marks on his face, and he looked more like a beggar than a cultivator.
Holding something wrapped by a white cloth in his hand, he came to Huangfu Feng.
“Brother Huangfu, this is for you.”
He opened the white cloth, inside it was a magic blade. The blade was dark, unpretentious, and only a green gem was inlaid behind the handle.
Huangfu Feng recognized the gemstone inlaid on the handle and talked with a shocking voice:
“Soul-Capturing Stone? Little Yue, you are...”
“I know that I can’t save my elder brother. This weapon is called Soul-Absorbing Blade. I made it with the backbone of a demon dragon and the Soul-Capturing Stone in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth. It can absorb the soul of the cultivator who was killed by it.”
Yue Qianlian held the blade in both hands and handed it forward.
“Brother Huangfu, this knife is my reward, please use it to help me kill my brother!”
He lowered his head, concealing the painful expression, and handed the sword to Huangfu Feng.
“I understand.”
Huang Fufeng was silent for a moment, took this blade, and put it behind him.
“I will use it to end his misery.”
In the ancient city, “Yue Qianren” looked at the densely packed light spots near Qing Province on the map with satisfaction.
Using the formation that could create a small space in the ancient city to create the vortex of the aura, that’s the only way to make this activation formation which functioned as the key to open the Wise Immortal Mansion.
This was also the means left by the Land Immortals on the eve of the fall of the Sacred Dynasty.
“In this way, even if the plan for the return of the Sacred Dynasty fails, we are not without the possibility of making a comeback.”
He said to himself:
“Next is the end...”
He got up from the throne in the temple, his eyes penetrated through the darkness, and he shot at the square outside the temple.
On the square, countless monsters whose whole body was covered with dark matter and white runes were flooding the whole square. They were people who have been captured by the bells in the ancient city from time to time in these days. All of them were transformed into monsters by him.
In the era of the Sacred Dynasty, they were called the Yellow Scarf Fighter. That’s because, in order to cover up their terrible appearance, the Sacred Dynasty had covered the monsters with yellow scarves.
This kind of transformation required specific energy that only Land Immortals were able to form, and the upper limit of strength could only reach the level of Physique Integration stage. In order to create them, “Yue Qianren” has been collecting “materials” since it was awakened, and until now, it has exhausted the cents left by the last emperor of the holy dynasty to become such a large army.
He originally believed that such a large army should be enough to sweep away all obstacles in this era. According to what he learned from the memory of this body, it seemed that this is indeed the case.
But there was only one person who gave him no assurance of victory.
“Qingming Sword Patriarch?... There are still such freaks in the world.”
He looked at the void outside the ancient city and murmured:
“It’s okay. Anyway, the future is set. Let me take a look at how you can stop me?”
Although he was well aware that he’s no match for Bai Qiuran, he still has confidence in his heart. The teleport ability of the ancient was his biggest trump card. As long as he hid in a different plane, even Qingming Sword Patriarch had enough power of breaking up space, it’s almost impossible to find his correct position in the void.
............
Under the control of “Yue Qianren”, the ancient city slowly moved from the void to the designated location. Near the ruins of the ancient imperial capital of the Shangling Kingdom of Qing Province, a thick mist emerged out of thin air. Then, like a mirage, a figure gradually emerged from the fog, turned from virtual to real, and pressed against the ground, causing a tremor.
As soon as he landed, the “Yue Qianren” in the ancient city immediately activated the formation in the city, because he knew in his heart that even if the other party did not understand the formation he used, they might have already figured out his final landing point.
Sure enough, under the control of the ancient city hall, he sprayed a beam of light towards the sky, activating the entire formation, around the city suddenly appeared innumerable presences of the cultivator.
At the same time, there was a strong flow of true Qi in all directions. Under the urging of these energies, a huge and complex formation appeared in the sky, which fell to the ground, linked to the power of the ground veins, and blocked the surrounding space, completely locked the ancient city in this place.
“Damn, when we left, His Majesty specially ordered people to remove all the space spells in the world.”
“Yue Qianren” gritted his teeth.
“Are these future generations figuring out by themselves so quickly?”
The original plan was disrupted in an instant. “Yue Qianren” felt that his face was hot. He immediately manipulated the defense mechanism of the ancient city. Within the ancient city, the big clock placed in the square in front of the temple swayed and issued a loud bell sound. At the same time, Yellow Scarf Fighter flew out of the city and attacked in all the directions where cultivators appeared.
After finishing all this, he also got up and manipulated the last remaining material in the ancient city, forming a layer of black matter wrapped around his body, and then mixed among the Yellow Scarf Fighters.
Yue Qianren first followed a team to the east, but he saw a cloud in the horizon of the east suddenly turned into more than a thousand cultivators, standing densely in the clouds, forming a formation.
In front of that formation, two cultivators stood. One of them held a large jade pen and splashed ink in the clouds. Using the sky as a canvas, he painted countless dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns in the clouds. These monsters turned into real things, and slew a large number of Yellow Scarf Fighters.
The other person kept pinching the magic seals with both hands, casting some spells that even “Yue Qianren” had never seen. Under his control, the weather began to transform, turning into infinite fire rain, wind blade, and lightning bolt; blocked the way of the Yellow Scarf Fighters.
The two men combined with the formation, and successfully blocked a large number of Yellow Scarf Fighters here.
It’s not easy to breakthrough here...
“Yue Qianren” retreated, and while no one was watching around the chaos, he quietly left the battlefield and flew towards the south.
In the south, a force that was also no less than the East was waiting for him. In the air, countless black-armored soldiers stand in the clouds, and beside them are a group of monks covered in golden light. The two armies cooperate closely. The battle line formed like a grinding machine, crushing the charge of the Yellow Scarves without mercy. More importantly, there were also a black armor general and a flat-head monk controlling the formation here.
Like the previous two, the two were also in the Physique Integration stage. The sword in the black armor general’s hand was dancing, forming a dense net of sword beam. The flat-head monk was empty-handed, but his fighting was even fiercer, at the climax he roared, and turned into a tall Wise King of Wrath.
Seeing that they were brave and strong, “Yue Qianren” retreated again and quietly changed direction.
