327 Hidden Dragon (1/2)
Ye Shuhua didn't say anything at first, hence Fang Yuan didn't really notice much.
However, after taking a good look, he couldn't help but nod to himself, ”Not bad, not bad, they're of a decent size. Especially the sister…...I never thought...”
”You...”
This time, Ye Shuhua was so angry to the point that she didn't bother hiding her skills. She started to circulate her energy to dry her clothes outright. When her gaze turned to her surroundings, which were in a bad state, she was shocked, ”You chased Yi Xie away?”
”Not chased away, killed!”
Fang Yuan revealed the black rope in his hands.
”I never thought... I really never thought...”
Ye Shuhua's eyes were filled with shock, ”This Yi Xie is rather famous among those in the 3rd Tier of Illusionary Divine Stage. He can form arrays with his mind and also has the assistance of 9 Child Ghost Mother. In the past, he fought against someone in Illusionary Divine Tier 4 and managed to retreat successfully. Who knew that he would die in your hands!”
”I was just lucky!”
Fang Yuan waved it off, ” we'll leave as soon as possible once you've partially recovered. There has been too big a commotion here. It's too dangerous!”
”Ok!”
Although Ye Shuhua didn't know that they had already fulfilled the required numbers for the blood ritual, she could remember the mutual deception they had gone through. Hence, she had no trust for dream masters, possibly even less than for members of the Horned Wing Tribe!
”This time I managed to get a great haul so it's still good enough. After this, I'll find some cave to hide in and quietly wait for a powerful being to take control of this Hallow!”
”Pui!”
Right after Fang Yuan finished his sentence, Ye Shuhua couldn't stop herself from saying, ”Find a cave... to hide in?”
”In front of powerful beings, we are all just ants. In order to live, so what if I hide in a cave? I'm only afraid that when the time comes I can't even hide in one!”
Once he was done, Fang Yuan swiftly left with a disappointed expression on his face.
On the other hand, the hairs on Ye Shuhua's arms instantly stood up and she gazed towards the skies.
The blood-red hue had already covered most of the sky while small black cracks began to appear and spread outwards.
”This... This isn't taking control of this Hollow; it's tearing the place apart right?”
Her lips slowly parted and disbelief appeared on her face, ”Why is this happening?”
”I'm afraid it can't be helped!”
Fang Yuan remembered that Tianmu Mountain was just nearby and a serious look flashed in his eyes.
...
Da Qian World, Tianmu Mountain.
The originally grand peak had already been split through the centre, almost as though as something had squeezed it to the point of breaking.
In the skies, cracks started to appear and spread, reflecting the situation in the Hollow in it.
”The sky is cracking! The sky is cracking!”
At the nearby large city, people said their goodbyes and left, gazing towards the sky. Some knelt and prayed while others fled towards the Jade Capital with fear written all over their face.
Cultivators were also among them.
Everyone knew that cultivators were much more knowledgeable, but at this point in time, they were even more afraid.
With this sort of situation, some higher powers must have clashed with each other. One did not have to look far for the horrific example of what happened to the Divine Lotus Cult, hence who would dare to gamble with their lives?
Thus, they brought their whole families, including all young and old, to flee to the Jade Capital.
Three beams of light appeared above the clouds and they looked towards a large, grand, and almost demonic figure with expressions of fear on their faces, ”Lord Hidden Dragon? Are you going to start an all-out war with us?”
The Old Mother of Tianmu asked with an ugly look on her face.
”Just the likes of you can't represent the Five Great Alliances!”
Lord Hidden Dragon only appeared as a shadow but it could cover the entire sky and sun and had an oppressing aura. Its voice had an unusual charisma about it, ”For someone at my cultivation level, what's the purpose of lying to you? Your five great factions only begrudgingly joined forces for this Hollow, and the Prominent Divine Stage dream masters will only sit in the back lines at the very most, not even coming to the front lines!”
”Indeed... After you defected to the Imperial Court, you've become more shameless than before!”
Elder Smelter and Old Xue looked at each other, speechless.
Lord Hidden Dragon, the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards, was a true Prominent Divine Stage powerful being! To others, he could be called the creator! A Sage!
However, for a Hollow, he actually sent a magical clone over.
If they knew about this in advance, they would have asked the top experts in their ranks to attack!
But now it was too late!
'Although I have the ability to cross worlds, I cannot be disturbed while doing so... Now that Lord Hidden Dragon has personally come forward, releasing energy from a distance has become impossible!'
Elder Smelter's mind moved quickly, ”It's just a Hollow, so why does it seem like the Imperial Palace will stop at nothing to obtain it?!”
Producing a Prominent Divine Stage expert required aptitude, determination, and luck. It would already be very good to be able to produce a dream master at the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine Stage even with the complete inheritance of Sage Changli, much less if one only had a Hollow.
At this moment, Old Mother of Tianmu and co. looked at each other and reached the same conclusion, ”No matter what, the Imperial Court must not obtain this Hollow! Even if we destroy it!”
”I'm afraid that there are secrets that I have not decrypted in this Changi Hollow!”
Elder Smelter roared, ”Let's attack together. Our opponent is just a magical clone. I don't believe that he would come here personally!”
”You guys…... really want to fight me? Are you not afraid that you will die here?”
Lord Hidden Dragon grinned, ”Don't forget, we're close to the Jade Capital! Even if you ask your alliance for help now, which of our sides will arrive faster?”
This was the geographical advantage.
Old Mother of Tian Mu and co. were stunned. They couldn't think of anything else other than hate on the appearance of the Changli Hollow at this location
”Dao Friend Hidden Dragon... Why do you have to appear in person for this small fight between the young ones? Wouldn't that be a little embarrassing?”
At this moment, a crisp voice echoed down from the heavens. Rainbow coloured clouds appeared with the silhouette of a green imperial chariot above them.
