623 Xing Wuzui (1/2)
The palace's roof could no longer withstand the repeated abuse and destruction, and it cracked.
Boom!
A loud sound rose, and the roof collapsed.
The situation exceeded everyone's expectations. The expressions of Phantasmal Shadow and Momo changed, and they extended a hand to pull up Wu Kuo and the other three heavily wounded men. They dragged them away from the collapsed region.
”This is bad!”
The six people's emotions were not steady. They stayed by the pit and watched it nervously.
The remaining evil cult disciples resolutely gave up on ringing the golden bell because of this change, since some of their own had fallen through the hole. None of them showed any signs of panic, however. They seemed incredibly happy and excited instead.
”Hurry up!”
”Notify Elder Xing!”
A few evil cult disciples on the roof cried out in surprise, and when they looked at Phantasmal Shadow, Momo, and the others, there were hints of mockery and delight on their faces.
Momo looked at the evil cult disciples who had managed to survive by pure luck as if they were already dead. She curled the fingers of one of her hands, and an invisible power swiftly gathered in them.
At that moment, an old voice filled with awe-inspiring might and a slight hint of anger traveled out from the palace underneath in a measured tone.
”Why are you panicking and shouting all over the place?! Do you even have any decency left?!”
”Elder Xing, a disaster has occurred! Some people invaded Sky Demon Secret Cave, and without giving us a chance to speak, they killed our brothers. Also, third elder's palace has been invaded. We've already lost dozens of brothers to sound the bell.”
Right when they finished speaking, a deep roar rose from the palace.
”Hmph, and you have the guts to say that?! There are so many of you around, and you can't even kill a few youngsters? What a bunch of trash.”
While Phantasmal Shadow, Momo, Wu Kuo, and the others were filled with shock, a man with a terrifying presence slowly rose from the pit where the roof of the palace had collapsed.
His black hair moved without wind—which looked wild, but not exactly messy—and he seemed like a demon because of it. His hands were placed behind his back, and his robes fluttered to the sides. There was no focus in his sparkling eyes, but he gave others a domineering air that inspired awe.
”You…”
The loud voice came from Elder Xing's mouth, and his gaze gradually focused before becoming fierce. His eyes were fixed on Momo and Phantasmal Shadow, who stood in front of the others.
”Which sect did you come from?” Elder Xing's tone was one of supremacy, and there was a firmness in it that allowed no one to refuse his orders.
Momo and Phantasmal Shadow instantly sensed an unprecedented pressure descend on them from the sky. Their bodies became stiff, and they were instantly intimidated by Elder Xing's aura.
Elder Xing's strength was clearly unlike that of a normal Inaction Realm martial artist, so he would not be below the evil cult great elder. when his eyes fell on Wu Kuo and the others, they broke out into cold sweat and fell to the ground. Despite gritting their teeth and forcing themselves to stand up, they could not move.
The two women, however, were not any normal people.
One of them was innately cold and arrogant and could ignore everything.
The other was beautiful and smart. She longed to use strength and wisdom to change everything.
When they faced the powerful presence, both of them chose to fight back! They exercised their breathing, and their qi instantly surged up their bodies to weaken the pressure on their shoulders.
Clack!
Elder Xing swiftly noticed the two women fighting back, and he snorted coldly. He sent more pressure on their shoulders, but at that moment, his feet sank down. He crushed the glazed tiles of the roof beneath him and staggered.
Whoosh!
”Careful!”
Right when Phantasmal Shadow's body staggered and she was about to fall, Momo's warning rose by her ears.
