Chapter 312: Hell Flower (1/2)
“Return....”
“My soul....”
Two eerie voices echoed in their ears.
Concern about Qing Han’s curse swiftly evaporated, replaced by a deep-seated fear of what was happening. The two corpse coffins really had come to life! They were vomiting mouthfuls of yin energy that shattered even the golden radiance of the Celestial Exorcism Armor.
In the blink of an eye, darkness descended over the group and restricted their consciousness. They remained perfectly still, floating in the water.
……
Complete chaos gripped Levitating Island. There were still many immortals who’d refused to leave, as they’d built a life here during the island’s millenia of development. To their horror, the inner sea of the island turned black on this day.
Countless terrible monsters swarmed from the dark waters and attacked the immortals on the banks, dragging them into the water and eating them.
Outside Kunpeng Palace.
House Donglin had sealed off the premises; they were here for Xin Mou.
Beigong Yu, Aoxue, Hongxiu, and Lü Cho, a peerless immortal serving Beicang Qiong, joined hands in a group defense to prevent House Donglin from entering.
However, circumstances didn’t allow them space to fight over the girl now. Waves of human-headed octopi and other chimeras of humans and marine creatures emerged from the black inner sea. The Donglin immortals struggled to keep the monsters at bay, and ended up allying with the defenders of Kunpeng Palace to deal with their common enemy first.
……
“Dammit, don’t force me to pull my trump card!” Lu Yun pulled Qing Han behind him. Though his arms weren’t particularly strong, they were unwavering. The sudden motion sent Qing Han’s heart racing, and his face flushed a pretty red.
Pop!
Emerald light flickered through the air, making way for a seed to sprout in the void. A pink flower slowly unfurled, sweeping away the yin energy around it. Lu Yun, Qing Han, Diexi, Su Xiaoxiao, and the Deaf Prince stood on top of the stamens, while the little fox had fallen unconscious from gibbering fear.
“Thank heavens I retained my seed storage even after dying.” Su Xiaoxiao patted her voluminous chest in relief. Realizing she’d said something she shouldn’t, she cautiously turned to check the reactions from the group.
The Deaf Prince hadn’t heard anything, while Qing Han and Diexi bore no reaction whatsoever. Su Xiaoxiao stuck her tongue out. These people didn’t seem to care that she’d been raised from the dead.
Seed storage was a powerful storage technique. Unlike storage treasures, which could be robbed or destroyed, a seed storage was a special space created by oneself, accessible only by the owner.
After Su Xiaoxiao’s return to life, her seed storage had come back as well. Many of her treasures were within it, including a seed she’d counted as one of her most precious possessions, one that had yin-countering properties. It quite surprised her to see the seed sprout and grow into a leafless flower.
……
“Wow, so many yum-yums!” exclaimed an ecstatic voice. A figure rushed into the vast ocean of yin energy, making it boil over. Various piercing screams rang out underwater, stirring up powerful waves that turned the ocean into a frothy mess.
