Chapter 2375: Arriving on Time

Editor: RED

The morning sun shone upon Tian Yan City. It was very hot there. There was a gigantic palace, and in the sunlight, it looked like it was on fire. It was the Fire Shrine’s palace.

Many people gathered on a public field. On one side, everybody was wearing a fire robe. They all had an extraordinary Qi and were extremely strong. In the middle of them, there was one cultivator much, much weaker than everybody else. It was Zhe Tian.

“Father!” shouted Zhe Tian when he saw Lin Feng. He didn’t look good. He said to Lin Feng, telepathically, “Father, I’m alright, don’t worry about me. They’re well prepared, you can’t do anything.”

Lin Feng said nothing. He glanced at the members of the Fire Shrine and finally looked at Qiong Lin, “You’re a Shrine and you stand at the very top of the Continent of the Nine Clouds. You dare take a young man as a hostage. How shameless.”

“No need to tell me that. I told you, we’re not going to harm him. Come here and we’ll release him,” said Qiong Lin indifferently. He looked quite composed.

“It’s not the first time the Fire Shrine has done something like this. If you don’t release him, the Fortune Shrine will lose patience,” said the Diviner plainly.

“Lose patience? So, what will you do then?” said Qiong Lin, smiling coldly. The Diviner closed his eyes and didn’t say anything. The atmosphere became eerily silent. Nobody said anything, both sides waited.

——

In the Celestial Assassins Alliance, everybody was getting familiar with each other. When the Fire Shrine’s members introduced themselves, the crowd paid more attention.

“This time, some members of the Fire Shrine are with us. Therefore, we’ll choose the fire entry. We’ll see if we’re lucky and bump into some spiritual beings,” said someone at that moment sternly. “The nine spiritual beings’ graves are real battlefields. We have to help each other inside, and we should separate.”

“Alright!” the crowd nodded.

“Everybody understands, good, let’s go,” said the cultivator of the Celestial Assassins Alliance. They were ready to go to the Godly Grave!

“Wait,” said Lin Feng suddenly. Everybody looked at him.

“Yes, what?” asked the cultivator.

“I have a friend who wants to come. He’s extremely strong. We should wait,” said Lin Feng.

The strong cultivator’s eyes twinkled, “How strong?”

“A high-level Saint, he’s at the very top of that level. His fighting abilities are incredible. He’s not really a friend, he’s more like an elder I have affection for, a mentor. He had to do something on his way, so he’s a bit late,” said Lin Feng. The leader was astonished, a high-level Saint who had terrifying fighting abilities? That person was definitely worth waiting for!

“Since it’s that way, let’s wait for him,” said the cultivator. Everybody agreed readily. Lin Feng was a bit relieved.

However, one hour later, many people frowned, “He’s not here yet?”

“Just wait, he’ll be here soon,” replied Lin Feng.

“You have no notion of time. Let’s forget it, let’s go,” said that person.

“Right, one more isn’t necessary. We don’t even know if he told the truth. Let’s go to the Godly Grave, if he can catch up, then we’ll see,” said someone.

“Let’s go,” said the members of the Fire Shrine. They didn’t feel like waiting around either.

Lin Feng watched the crowd leave, unable to keep them waiting longer. He followed the crowd and at the same time, his clone told the Diviner the way and hoped he’d manage to catch up.

——

There were nine entrances to the Godly Grave in the city. Back in the ancient times, there were only nine Shrines, and nine spiritual beings controlled the continent. Time had passed, some Shrines had disappeared, some had risen, but there were still only nine entrances. Each entrance led to a spiritual being.

The crowd was at the fire entrance. In front of them was an ocean of blood, and above that ocean, there was a gigantic fire. That was the fire grave, and according to legends, there were the historical remains of a fire spiritual being there.

Lin Feng had read as many books as possible in the Fortune Shrine, and he had read a lot about the forbidden territories. He knew the basics about them, but at that moment, he didn’t really care about the forbidden territories. The Diviner was almost there, but one more step and they’d be in the Godly Grave, though.

These days, Qiong Yu had spent all his time with the strong cultivators of the Fire Shrine. Lin Feng hadn’t had any opportunity to catch him. In the Godly Grave, it’d be even more dangerous.
