Chapter 111

Collateral Damage

Li Chengfeng followed the group a distance away. Both him and Su Yuehan only stepped on the teleportation array when everyone had gotten on. Everything turned black and when in the next moment, they had arrived in Crescent Valley's teleportation booth.

He looked around to see that he was in a pouch-shaped valley. The mountains formed a shape that looked like a crescent.

Both sides of the valley was a tall, steep cliff consisting of creeper-covered rocks. Large Peng birds cawed, their cries echoing across the valley. Behind them was a rock wall carved with four giant statues. They were the four sect masters who had made immense contributions to the Spiritual Mountain Sect.

From right to left, the first statue was tall and thin, both hands holding a sword and eyes staring ahead with a regal expression; the second statue was a lady who held a kill order token and had a veil covering her face; the third was a man of average build, a swordbreaker in his right hand and a jagged ring in his left, radiating arrogance and murderous intent; the fourth was a weak and thin man holding a scroll and a brush, looking scholarly and harmless.

However, everyone familiar with the sect knew that this last man was the sect master with the shortest term yet most powerful fighting abilities of the sect. He was nicknamed h.e.l.l King Zhang of the Underworld, Zhang Qianqiao!

The h.e.l.l King sat at the depths of nine h.e.l.ls controlling the underworld and all spirits of the dead. He held the Token of Life and Death and Yin Yang Brush in his hands. These two magical items had come to this realm during an ancient war and coincidentally fell into Zhang Qianqiao's hands. Owning one item was just the equivalent of owning a good magical item, not even the best. However, both items paired together made one invincible!

The token and brush determined one's fate after death. There was a saying: one would rather meet the Heavenly Emperor than h.e.l.l King Zhang!

Due to h.e.l.l King Zhang being too powerful, he attracted many enemies. The Heavenly Emperor sent the Nine Great Golden Immortals to be reincarnated to kill h.e.l.l King Zhang. In the end, three perished and two were banished from the immortal realm, sealed into the nine h.e.l.ls forever.

These two items in Zhang Qianqiao's hands were enough to invoke fear across the lands.That was how Spiritual Mountain prospered and powerful enough to rival the Zhan family and Universe Religious Sect.

Li Chengfeng admired the four statues in awe. Even he who did not care about fame also could not help but want to be like them. He wondered if any human would ever carve a statue of himself. Even after ascension to immortality, his life story would be pa.s.sed down generations.

Both people admired the tall statues, then turned to enter the valley.

At the mouth of the valley, Li Chengfeng realised it was a vast s.p.a.ce. The spa.r.s.e dots of other disciples within the valley were gone now. Both of them perked up and cautiously ventured ahead. Li Chengfeng held the razor-sharp bone spear in his hand while Su Yuehan held a sword he bought.

Two hundred metres into the valley, he began to notice changes in the scenery. The surrounding trees grew taller and denser. Initially, the trees were tens of metres apart but now, giant trees stood about ten metres apart. The bushes grew denser too as if this place had not felt the effects of winter yet. Their surroundings were a lush and humid green.

“Young Master, what sort of magical being will we catch for a pet?” Su Yuehan asked in a low voice, looking around vigilantly as she trailed closely behind.

He smiled bitterly. “Something I can tame, of course. We can't aim for a beast like the Grim Stork, can we?”

She chuckled. “You'd be very cool if you could tame the Grim Stork.”

He smiled. “Yeah, you can fly around and look stupid on it!”

“Fly around and what?”

He laughed, about to change the topic when his ears perked up. He hurled his bone spear, and it landed as quick as lightning. A wild grey rabbit struck by the spear struggled, then stopped moving.

Su Yuehan looked at it pitifully. “You're killing little rabbits again!”
