Chapter 271 - The Gathering of the Powerful (1/2)
Chapter 271 The Gathering of the Powerful“What?!”
Xiao Chen punched the wall of the cave, causing the entire cave to shake and the dust inside to fall. His fist was so tightly clenched that his bones were creaking in protest. He asked coldly, “Which sect did this?”
“Fallen Immortals Sect,” Yu Yifeng replied, frowning.
“Fallen Immortals Sect…” A sinister smile crossed Xiao Chen’s face. He looked at everyone. “How are your injuries?”
Li Muxue shook her head. “We managed to escape in time thanks to Senior Brother Yifeng’s Teleportation Formation.”
Xiao Chen’s knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists. The Fallen Immortals Sect must have occupied the paradise-like land they were in yesterday as well. He said solemnly, “Very well. Let’s seek our revenge!”
Yu Yifeng stopped him. Shaking his head, he said, “The Fallen Immortals Sect is too powerful. We’ve been waiting for you to see if we can find some Hearts of Illusory Moon nearby on the last day.”
Xiao Chen didn’t reply. Could he tolerate the repeated provocations from the Fallen Immortals Sect? No!
Mu Shaoai stood up. “They’re strong but they’ve made many enemies. I think they’d be too busy fending for themselves now.”
Zhiluan, who sat on a stone, said serenely, “This great one agrees. Let’s rob and massacre them!” Either way, this didn’t concern him.
“Junior Brother Xiao, is the thing you chased after last night? A sentient thousand-year-old Immortal Lingzhi?” Yu Yifeng asked, looking at Zhiluan.
Zhiluan cast him a sidelong glance. “What thing? I have a name! I’m called Zhiluan!”
Mu Shaoai narrowed his eyes. “Nice. I can take this back as a pill-refining gift for my Master.”
Zhiluan shuddered in fear and hastily hid behind Xiao Chen. He pointed to Mu Shaoai and said, “I, I’ll have you know that I came to the Human World on the Jade Emperor’s direct orders…”
“Enough.” Xiao Chen frowned. “We can’t dally. Let’s leave now.”
They were quite a distance away from the cave yesterday and it took them two hours to reach their destination. When they arrived, two injured-looking people were sitting inside the cave.
One of them was the Eighth of the ten members of the Fallen Immortals Sect, Eight Scarcities Ghost. The other was the Ninth, Nine-patterned Dragon. The latter said, “Do you think that kid will come after we raided his sect yesterday? One-dot Red and the rest aren’t around.”
Eight Scarcities Ghost replied, “What are you scared of? I’ll kill him if I see him. Consider it as payback for last time.”
Nine-patterned Dragon said, “Don’t underestimate him. He has multiple Spiritual Meridians like us. Moreover, he’s the last survivor of that sect…”
Before he could finish, someone suddenly flew into the cave while coughing up blood. It was the Second Brother, Double-tailed Crane. Eight Scarcities Ghost was alarmed. “Second Brother! What happened?!”
Nine-patterned Dragon rose to his feet and shouted at the cave entrance. “Who?!”
“Xiao Chen!”
Just as an ice-cold voice resounded in their ears, Xiao Chen appeared at the cave entrance. A powerful force slammed into Nine-patterned Dragon before he could even whip out his weapon and sent him flying into the wall of the cave. He couldn’t help coughing up blood.
Eight Scarcities Ghost knew they were in trouble. He desperately recited a spell and eight mass of dark fog instantly winded around Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves nonchalantly and performed the Dragon-controlling Mystic Skill—a personal invention that combined the manipulative ability of his psychokinesis and the strength of his Dragon Roar Palm. Immediately, a golden illusory dragon more than tens of feet long charged at Eight Scarcities Ghost and slammed him onto the wall of the cave.
Double-tailed Crane and the other two lost their ability to fight back.
Outside the cave, Zhiluan watched everything unfold with gleaming eyes. “This kid is pretty capable! Looks like I found someone strong to latch onto this time.”
Xiao Chen stomped his foot as he radiated a sharp murderous aura. Double-tailed Crane said through gritted teeth, “Kid, have you gotten sick of living?!”
“I think you’re the ones who want an early death!” Xiao Chen made another palm attack and sent him flying once again. Double-tailed Crane crashed onto the wall while coughing up blood. The entire cave nearly collapsed.
On the outside, rocks and pebbles kept rolling down to the ground. Zhiluan clasped his paws over his eyes. “How violent!”
Suddenly, a purple light flashed and Double-tailed Crane found one of his ears cut off. His screeches pierced the air as Ziyun’er appeared at the cave entrance. Zhiluan pressed his paws harder on his eyes. “How bloody!”
“Second Brother!” Eight Scarcities Ghost and Nine-patterned Dragon yelled in unison. They whipped their heads around to glare at Xiao Chen and his team. “You… You!”
