Chapter 225 (1/2)

In one of the Black Wind Deity Palace halls.
A person colored entirely gold, wrapped up in gray robes, was currently sitting atop the master throne. His eyes were glowing with a golden light. Even while sitting, an unseen pressure being emitted from him could be felt, as if there was a high and steep mountain in his place instead.
“Big brother.”
Four figures were standing beside him.
They were the ones whom Xue Ying had exchanged moves with previously—the gray-robed male, a handsome teenager colored in red, a seductive woman of unmatched beauty, and a cold, apathetic boy.
“We haved searched the entire perimeter of the Black Wind Deity Palace, but we could not find the one called Dong Bo Xue Ying!” said the handsome teenager colored in red.
“Fifth brother.” The seductive woman laughed lightly. It felt as if there were more color in existence in their surroundings. A single smile of hers would have been enough to move the hearts of Transcendents, however, the other four people in the room were all Deity warriors, so they were not affected. “Are you sure you aren’t mistaken? How high are the accomplishments of our masters in terms of arrays? Those powerful arrays he has set down, I’d believe if you said a powerful Transcendent could spend some time to break them! But if you say that he disappeared from mid-air, you must be joking!”
“He truly disappeared from mid-air without leaving any traces!” The gray-robed male was resentful.
“Second brother, have you not discovered anything either?” The gold man looked towards the cold, apathetic boy.
The boy lightly nodded. “I haven’t discovered anything! I went to the place guarded by fifth brother and thoroughly searched it, but I didn’t find anything!”
“Oh…”
The gold man was deep in thought.
Meanwhile.
In the Mirage, Xue Ying was looking at the five of them with interest. He had long since determined from their words that they should be the supposed ‘Five Shadows’. From the vague feeling of threat, he could sense that they were increasingly strong, especially the gold man! He emitted an unseen feeling of suppression that could even be felt by his green-armored protector.
Of course, that was only natural. The green-armored protector of the green-gray wristband was good at defending! As for the gold man, Xue Ying could naturally deduce that he was a Deity warrior that specialized in attacking!
The number of Deity warriors of my Xia Clan can be counted on one’s fingers, thought Xue Ying. Even so, they are similar in that their powers are all limited by the Laws of the World.
As for the Deity warriors inside this Black Wind Deity Palace… that weak gray-robed male from before could be easily sent flying by the green-armored protector. However, the other four Deity warriors have increasing strengths. Regardless of the fact that they’re somewhat weaker, there are still five Deity warriors here. Xue Ying was truly shocked. Deity warriors had to be refined by Deities, yet five of them could still be found here?
The gatekeeper of the cavern palace—the White Fog Ape—was most likely a Deity warrior as well, as Xue Ying had suspected. It was just that it was much weaker than the gray-robed man.
On top of that, another existence suspected to be a Deity warrior should be in the deepest part of the Black Wind Deity Palace.
Adding them up… there was a total of seven Deity warriors!
No wonder Palace Head Chen didn’t mention this, thought Xue Ying. There should be some deep secrets within.
Hua!
The gold man seated on the throne stood up before coldly saying, “Return to your places. I’ll find that water rat!”
“The water rat is the one master trusted the most. Every time it comes before us, it acts ostentatiously, destroying my mood,” complained the red-colored handsome teenager.
“Hmph, hmph, hmph, if we compare their combat powers, our big brother will still triumph over it! Logically, the Black Wind Deity Palace should be under our control, yet before he died, master actually asked that water rat to take control of the palace!” The gray-robed male snorted.
“That’s enough.”
The gold man frowned before walking off.
…
Inside the Mirage, Xue Ying continued following that gold man.
Very soon.
The gold man arrived at a courtyard within which there was a lake of pitch black water, several hundreds of meters large in radius. The ground beside this black lake was as smooth as a mirror. A black rat, about half a meter tall, was currently sitting cross-legged the way a human would normally do. The rat’s beard was drooping downwards as he was cultivating with his eyes closed.
