Chapter 305: Chapter 274: The Wind and Cloud Changes Colors Over 3000 Miles_1
“”Who are you?”
Staring at the strange man with a golden mask who appeared out of nowhere and whose well-built figure was as imposing as a mountain, Murong Shun asked loudly.
A moment ago he was in the midst of battle with the evil spirits, and the next, he was transported by an unknown force into a small space.
Before he could make sense of his situation, this masked apparition emerged before him.
The masked intruder didn’t utter a word, instead lunged at him with a bronze halberd.
Murong Shun immediately summoned his magic artifact for protection, but the strange man suddenly disappeared from right in front of him. Before he could react, he felt a cold shiver down his back. Turning around, the halberd was already upon him.
It was already too late for him to deflect the attack. The halberd, carrying a terrifying force, shattered his protective spiritual power in an instant and struck his body.
Splat!
His body, along with his soul, was cleaved in two.
What kind of artifact can sever even the soul?
That was Murong Shun’s last thought.
“I’m not exactly a generous guy. I mean, I said I was going to save some folks, but it doesn’t hurt if a few of them die.”
The voice came from behind Xu Mu’s mask.
In the space inside the tripod, he had not only the ability to teleport, but also unleashed the bloodline power of the Earthsplitting Whale to finish the fight quickly. In this state, even though Murong Shun wasn’t weak, he was no match for Xu Mu.
After stripping everything valuable from Murong Shun’s body and reducing the corpse to ashes, his fragmented soul naturally met a fate of total destruction.
“Quite a substantial haul! Not bad!”
After checking his spoils, Xu Mu was quite pleased; this method was more profitable than selling pills.
The only drawback was that it was a bit messy to handle.
With this thought, his figure vanished again.
He’d already said he wasn’t a benevolent person, those women who had insulted him naturally wouldn’t be spared.
In passing, he could also weaken the strength of the other princes and princesses, sort of helping Li Youlan.
As for his method of handling them –
“Golden Core Stage female cultivators sure are different!”
…
After extracting his revenge, he started observing the outside situation, witnessing the birth of Nine Ghosts and witness their battle with the guards of the Palm Immortal Office.
In the face of these nine Nascent Soul Stage evil spirits, the powerful guards of the Palm Immortal Office were falling like harvested rice stalks, offering virtually no resistance.
This reminded Xu Mu of the old Soul Forging Sect!
Witnessing this scene, Xu Mu, who initially planned to escape from the God Refining Tripod, decided to stay put and see how the situation unfolds.
Whilst the Nine Ghosts were causing havoc in the Palm Immortal Office, Prince Jade was not idle; he was heading deeper into the dungeon.
Xu Mu had also heard his earlier roar.
It was easy to guess that he was heading deeper to save his father.
Unfortunately, Xu Mu didn’t know much about the imperial family’s affairs, he didn’t know who Prince Jade’s father was, let alone why he was imprisoned here?
However, he couldn’t be bothered with these matters; all he wanted was to seize the opportunity when the adversaries were in the midst of a heated battle to escape from the God Refining Tripod unnoticed.
As soon as Prince Jade entered the ninth level, deafening booming sounds came incessantly, clearly demonstrating an attack on the seal.
“Stop immediately! It’s not too late to turn back now, or nobody will be able to save you!”
The icy-sounding voice of the Master of the Palm Immortal Office rang out telepathically.
Prince Jade, however, paid no heed and kept attacking, aiming to break the seal before his adversaries could reach him.
At this moment, the Master of the Palm Immortal Office was already at the entrance of the celestial prison and was rushing in quickly.
The prison’s formidable defenses now acted as a hindrance, obligating him to hurry downwards level by level.
The prison was in complete disarray due to the Nine Ghosts, with many guards and prisoners meeting their demise. The cells were extensively damaged, and the confined criminals had run loose.
However, these freed prisoners didn’t have a chance to rejoice before experiencing the same fate as the guards and being swallowed by the evil spirits.
These evil spirits didn’t discriminate between friend or foe, they would kill anyone they encountered.
With their Nascent Soul Stage strength and the combined force of the Nine Ghosts, they practically had no opponents in the prison.
