Chapter 1795 - Hangu Pass (2/2)

Yang Jian bowed and backed away with great speed, leaving the Cloud Palace. Once outside, he immediately went to look for Bu Fang.

Bu Fang was sitting in the middle of the courtyard drinking wine and tasting food when Yang Jian fell from the sky. “They confessed?” he asked.

Yang Jian nodded with a grave face. “Their purpose was to find the divine artifacts of the Soul Demon Universe that had dropped in the Primitive Universe and bring them back!” he said.

Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth. “Divine artifacts? No, their purpose is to find the Soul God’s body parts that are sealed up in the Primitive Universe…”

Yang Jian’s face flickered. It seemed that Bu Fang already knew about it.

“Did they tell you where the location is?” Bu Fang asked curiously.

Yang Jian sighed. This was exactly what made his face look so ugly. “No, they don’t know. But they need the Celestial Emperor’s seal, and I think they want to use it to open something…”

Bu Fang nodded and did not ask any more questions.

“Owner Bu…” Yang Jian was about to say something, but Bu Fang shook his head.

“The Celestial Emperor’s seal should not be so easily snatched by the Soul Demons, right? I can’t help you with this matter. Send me to the battlefield. I must go there.”

The Soul Demons were looking for the Celestial Emperor’s seal. In Bu Fang’s opinion, this thing was not so easy to get. It was, after all, something possessed by the master of the Celestial Court.

If they wanted to get the seal, they had to break through the defense at the front first so that they could have a chance to break into the Celestial Court and get it. These sneaky skirmishes were not going to achieve anything.

Bu Fang actually knew very well that even without his help this time, the Celestial Court would still be intact. After all, it was a power that had existed in the Primitive Universe for countless years.

Yang Jian sighed. He had wanted to make Bu Fang stay, for his tactics were very effective against the Soul Demons. “Well… Tomorrow, I’ll send Owner Bu to the battlefield outside the Nine Heavens,” he nodded and said.

Afterward, Yang Jian took his leave. Bu Fang continued to sit in the courtyard, quietly sipping wine with a deep look in his eyes.

The next day, Yang Jian did send someone to bring him to the battlefield. It was a Green Luan. Bu Fang stepped on the back of this giant bird with Shrimpy, Foxy, and Whitey. Then, the bird spread her wings and soared into the sky.

Inside the Celestial Court, Yang Jian held his halberd and looked up as Bu Fang left. At his side stood the Celestial Hound, still laughing. Ju Mang also did not go to the battlefield. He stayed behind to defend the Primitive Sphere with the other experts.

…

The battlefield was located in the boundless starry sky outside the Nine Heavens.

The speed of Green Luan’s flight was much faster than Ju Mang’s crane. She streaked across the void like a shooting star. After a long time, Bu Fang, sitting cross-legged on her back, looked up and squinted into the distance.

A magnificent but somewhat ruined city emerged in front of his eyes, sprawled across the starry sky. From afar, it looked as if there were dragons and phoenixes flying above the city.

Bu Fang took a deep breath. He was overwhelmed by the city. He could also smell the pungent scent of blood, which was so strong that it gave him the creeps and made him feel as if a large amount of blood was pouring down at him.

Although he had not even gotten close yet, he already felt his blood boiling. Countless almighty experts of the Primitive Universe had shed their blood in that city. It was a pass coated with blood, the last barrier to defend the Primitive Sphere!

“Exalted Immortal, that is Hangu Pass, the front line of the battlefield. I cannot go any further, so I have to leave you all here,” said the Green Luan.

The closer she got to the city, the heavier the oppressive feeling in her blood became. It was as if her ancestors had shed their blood there, and she felt a wave of sadness rising from the depths of her soul.

They landed on a dead star. Bu Fang nodded to the Green Luan, who spread her wings and left. After that, he turned to look at the huge city. It gave him a very depressing feeling.

After exhaling a deep breath, Bu Fang stepped up into the sky and walked toward Hangu Pass. Whitey followed him closely. Foxy and Shrimpy sat on its bald head, blinking and looking at the ancient city that sprawled across the starry sky.

Bu Fang walked for a long time, but the city was still very far away. After walking for several days, there was a flash in front of his eyes. It felt as if he had passed through an invisible array, and then the city that was very far away one second ago was in front of him suddenly.

The sky here was crimson as if it was drenched in blood. The mottled city walls were covered with the marks of time, as well as knife marks, sword marks, axe marks, and marks left behind by all kinds of weapons. They appeared like the city’s medals of honor.

Bu Fang stepped onto the solid ground of Hangu Pass. A surge of pressure suddenly rose from the soles of his feet and pressed down on his shoulders. It felt as if he had stepped into District D of Void City. However, the air here was filled with a murderous aura.

Suddenly, a loud and sonorous cry echoed out. The next moment, a flash of black light came over Bu Fang’s head, its enormous wings spreading for tens of thousands of miles. Then, the behemoth shrank and turned into a familiar figure, shot through the air, and landed on Bu Fang’s shoulder in the blink of an eye.

“Kun Bird?”

Bu Fang froze for a moment. He had not expected to see this bird here. After leaving Earth, he thought he would never see this giant bird again. He did not expect it to come to Hangu Pass as well.

In addition to Kun Bird, Bu Fang sensed another familiar aura. He looked up into the distance.
