Chapter 570 - Demon God Pearl (2/2)

If they did some scouting, they would be able to save a lot of time.

Xiji Fifth said, “We must be careful. Even though we have Connecting Heaven Level 2 cultivation, we shouldn’t be careless.”

After discussing it, Xiji Third, Fourth and Fifth left the palace.

At the same time, Zhou Xuanji was focusing on cultivating.

The Demon God Pearl was indeed mystical. After the energy within it spread out, it flowed into his meridians. Even though it was domineering, it did not harm him.

Following this, his physique quickly became stronger.

Improving his fleshly body would not help him with break through in terms of cultivation, but it could help him on the path to an Overlord Saint.

Six hours later, he opened his eyes and slowly got up.

His body gave off massive cracking sounds as if there was lightning striking his tendons and bones, and the sound was incredibly clear and loud.

The three of the Xiji Immortals got up and all congratulated Zhou Xuanji.

Zhou Xuanji asked, “Your three companions still haven’t returned yet?”

Hearing this, the three of them looked somewhat worried.

Xiji Second pinched his beard and said, “Could something have happened to them?”

The six of them had gone through countless trials together, and they were completely loyal to each other; they would never betray one another.

Since they had been gone for so long, it was likely that they had been held up by something.

“Let’s go and find them!” Zhou Xuanji brought Demon God Tianwu and walked towards the doors of the hall.

Old Immortal Xiji, Xiji Second, and Xiji Sixth followed close behind him.

Right after they walked out of the hall, they stopped.

Their gazes were locked onto the tunnel on the left. About 30 meters away, Xiji Third, Xiji Fourth, and Xiji Fifth stood there unmoving. Xiji Fourth was still in a walking motion, and in the dark tunnel, their figures looked incredibly chilling.

“Old Third! Old Fourth! Old Fifth!” Old Immortal Xiji cried out, his expression terrified.

Why had they not sensed their three companions outside the hall?

Old Immortal Xiji hurriedly let out fireflies and had them fly forwards.

Zhou Xuanji used the Nine Soul Fusion Technique and gripped a sword in each hand as he walked over to the three people.

The others followed behind him.

Xiji Third, Xiji Fourth, and Xiji Fifth’s expressions were filled with terror. Their eyes were lifeless and their mouths were opened wide, as if they had been scared to death.

Xiji Fourth quickly examined them, and he frowned as he said, “They’re not dead, but their souls…”

Soul stealing!

Just what was it that could steal the souls of three people at Connecting Heaven Level 2 from under their eyes?

Even Zhou Xuanji could not help but frown.

The place where he had been cultivating was less than 30 meters away from here, and there was only a wall between them.

The enemy had been so close, and yet he had not detected them.

Zhou Xuanji put the three people’s bodies in the Tianxia Map and said, “I’ll keep them safe. Let’s investigate what did this.”

Old Immortal Xiji nodded, and Xiji Second and Sixth took out talismans which they tossed out. The talismans quickly floated up and burned with intense white flames.

What was interesting was that the white flames did not burn up the talismans; these flames seemed to be illusory.

These talismans spiralled around Xiji Second and Xiji Sixth’s bodies, quickly flying.

Zhou Xuanji glanced over and did not ask, before flying forwards.

After travelling around ten kilometers, they suddenly heard the sound of women crying, and there also seemed to be sounds of children sobbing as well.

“Do you hear that?” Xiji Sixth asked warily, goosebumps rising on his skin.

Old Immortal Xiji said in a low voice, “What are you so scared for? They’re just making things seem scary.”
