Chapter 379: Ex-Immortals Captured! (1/2)
Lu Fengxian and Ling Tianlong could no longer move as they had suffered from backlashes of their supreme skills, which didn't belong in a mortal realm.
Invisible soul Qi of Huang Hansheng seized both fighters and stopped them from killing each other. Meanwhile, the old archer approached them.
”That's enough, both of you.”
Ling Tianlong glared at the 9th-stage archer, ”Which side are you on!? Why are you stopping me!?”
Lu Fengxian also wanted to ask the same question. He was confused why Huang Hansheng had saved him even though they were enemies.
The old archer sighed, ”Has someone inherited your dragonewt bloodline and that time-and-space technique yet?”
Hearing the old man's words, both Lu Fengxian and Ling Tianlong realized what this old man's goal was.
He wanted their secrets! Had they died here, no one would be able to acquire their secrets as none of them had a successor!
Lu Fengxian sneered, ”So you want our secrets? Why don't you just kill us and pry it from our dead bodies?”
”Hah! True. If we follow logic, I could have killed everybody here and monopolize everything for myself. But if I extract it from your dead bodies, I will never get the technique! I bet you've already destroyed every book and manual that you've read!”
Lu Fengxian laughed as he had indeed destroyed the Book of Time-and-Space. As for Ling Tianlong, he sneered at Huang Hansheng as he also burnt the cultivation manuals that he had already learned.
Even if Huang Hansheng were to kill them here, he would have gotten nothing in return!
”From now on, you are my prisoners! No matter if you have destroyed whatever heritage or technique books, I have many ways to squeeze the information out of your brains!”
The old man brought out long chains and threw them toward Lu Fengxian and Ling Tianlong.
The chains rapidly wrapped around them, draining their Qi and Essence as soon as they touched their skin.
Ling Tianlong and Lu Fengxian glanced at the chain around their arms and torso. They grumbled at the same time.
”Chain of First Hell? How the hell did you get this chain from that world!?”
”Eternal Prison's Chain… To think that this chain is in this world.”
Lu Fengxian and Ling Tianlong glanced at each other. As these chains only existed in a certain immortal realm, they were surprised that the other party knew the name of this chain as well.
”Were you an immortal? Are you a reincarnator?”
”You're not a native of this world. Which planet were you from?”
Again, both ex-immortals spoke at the same time.
Upon hearing each other's question, they stopped talking but stared at their rival in shock.
They had realized that their rival was once an immortal or a god!
Before both protagonists could get to know each other, Huang Hansheng tightened the binds, causing their Qi and Essence to rapidly disperse. A second later, they lost the ability to fly or circulate their Qi.
Both men still looked at each other, coming to a term with their eyes. Then, they glared at Huang Hansheng, their new enemy.
Unfortunately, nothing they could do to escape the situation as the opponent was too strong for them. Also, both men were critically injured from the exchange. They needed a long time to recuperate.
As such, Lu Fengxian and Ling Tianlong cooperated with the archer for now. Huang Hansheng laughed and dragged both men back to the southeast camp, where Liu Biao's forces were located.
…
Ling Cao stared at his ally, who had been bullying his disciple. Despite wanting to help Ling Tianlong, he was unable to utter a word or do anything.
He was helpless!
He was shocked!
Ling Cao and Ling Tianlong had invested and tried everything to destroy a city of demons, demi-humans, and beastmen. They even lost several disciples and elders in the first fight for the sake of the greater good.
But now, one of Yuan Shao's allies simply strolled here and kidnapped Ling Cao's legacy disciple!
This was an act of betrayal!
'How dare you… How could you do this to me… to us!!?'
The 3rd elder clicked his tongue. He fled from Siren City, returning to the camp where the real bodies of other elders were.
'I've had enough of this! Huang Hansheng, you greedy geezer! Since you backstabbed us for the sake of getting your hands on Lingtian's techniques, Mount Hua Sect will withdraw from this stupid alliance! Ling Tianlong was right. Human cultivators are rotten to the core! Only us, the righteous ones, can save the world and the immortal realms from the demons and evil crooks like you! Just you wait. We will find a way to unseal the earth dragon from the Extremity Mountain Plane, and we will eradicate your clan and your family!'
The enmity between the Huang Clan and Mount Hua Sect had been ignited. Because of the incident, Ling Cao abandoned his post and retreated by himself, planning to withdraw his sect from this war.
