Chapter 857 Cultivators Appear (2/2)

Quickly, the mirror revealed a male and a female cultivator. It could even replay the conversations between the two.

“Mid-level Human Immortals!”

Chen Feng was able to determine their cultivation levels with just a glance. In terms of cultivation levels, they were on the same level as him. In terms of combat power, however, Chen Feng could instantly kill off the two of them.

Seeing the two human cultivators left Chen Feng surprised. Judging by their appearances, they were most certainly not natives of this planet. Thus, they must have come from some other place. However, the fact that they were mid-level Human Immortals indicated that they were unlikely to be star wanderers. That left only one other possibility. They had utilized a certain passageway to come here.

I wonder where these two came from? Given Chen Feng’s level of strength, directly capturing the two of them and searching their souls would allow him to find out everything. However, that was also the most inferior method.

Sou! Sou!

Chen Feng followed the two cultivators while utilizing the Thousand Seeker Mirror to replay their every action. He wanted to find out their origins and objective.

Through their conversations and behaviour, Chen Feng was able to surmise that they were here in search of something. Additionally, they were trying to do so behind someone’s back.

As expected, Chen Feng then noticed some people coming from behind him. With a thought, Chen Feng hid himself.

Chen Feng’s divine sense caught the arrival of four cultivators. All four cultivators had Invisibility Talismans pasted on them and were invisible. However, they were incapable of escaping Chen Feng’s divine sense.

All four are at the mid-level Human Immortal stage. Looks like they want to take action against the duo up ahead. It’s a little strange. The aura from this group and the aura from the duo feels somewhat familiar. Chen Feng secretly observed them, unafraid of being detected.

Next up, Chen Feng continued hiding in the dark. When the four cultivators finally halted, he utilized his Magic Eyes of Darkness to peer through space and saw that the duo had stopped before a mountain.

This mountain was somewhat peculiar. Round in shape, it rose high up into the sky. However, the top of the mountain was very flat. It was as though someone had hacked the top with a single blade swing.

There were also smaller rolling mountains around this mountain. And yet, with the exception of the peculiar shape, there was nothing else special about the mountain.

The duo inspected their surroundings cautiously, seemingly fearful that someone might be following them. Next, they began setting up some magic arrays, working on it for two whole days before stopping.

Chen Feng, who was observing from the dark, saw that the four cultivators following the duo were staying quiet. They did not reveal themselves.

I wonder, what are the two cultivators trying to do? Chen Feng’s curiosity was piqued, but he did not utilize his divine sense to investigate.

After the duo was done setting up the magic arrays, the male cultivator brought out an altar. There were various sacrificial offerings placed on the altar. Next, the two of them got on their knees. With a sincere expression on their faces, they began chanting. It seemed as though they were praying. Or perhaps, they were trying to contact something.

Time went by and the altar shook slightly. Following that, runes began emerging from the altar. Like spiders, the countless runes crawled out into their surroundings, filling up even space.

After the runes had enveloped the entire mountain, the male cultivator brought out a porcelain bottle and poured a drop of blood out from it onto the altar. With a plopping sound, the drop of blood splattered there before the altar absorbed the blood, fusing it with the surrounding runes.

In just one breath’s worth of time, the hundreds of millions of runes around them had turned blood-red in colour. Even the mountain was radiating a bloody light. It was quite the ghastly appearance.

The drop of blood is probably the blood essence of an Earthen Immortal. Even for Human Immortals, that is already quite the treasure. Looks like the two of them are after something big, Chen Feng speculated.

The four cultivators who were hiding in the dark grew focused and they stared with unblinking eyes at what was happening.

Seemingly stimulated by the drop of blood, the entire mountain shook. As it did, the blood-coloured runes enveloping the mountain were absorbed into the mountain, where they disappeared without a trace.

Boom!

A booming sound rang out and a dazzling light charged high up into the sky while illuminating the surrounding space, reaching a distance of 10,000 kilometres. Seeing that, Chen Feng’s face flickered as he grew concerned that he might become exposed.

Chen Feng managed to evade the light’s detection ability, but the four cultivators were exposed.

“Jiang Zeming, Jiang Zefeng, Du Haolong, Du Haoqiu! I knew the four of you would secretly try to follow us!” the male cultivator shouted.

“Is that so, Jiang Huo? If you already know, why open the grotto-mansion? Do you want to offer up the treasures inside to us to please us and become our subordinate?” Jiang Zeming said smilingly before turning his attention towards the female cultivator standing beside Jiang Huo.

“Ye Lin, of all the people you could choose to follow, you choose to follow this piece of trash with no future, even going so far as to work with him to open up the grotto-mansion. Ke ke! You’ve been dancing in the palm of my hands here. Now, I will give you two only one path to take.”

“Oh, and what is it?” Killing intent glinted across the female cultivator known as Ye Lin’s eyes, but she asked anyways.

“It’s very simple. Follow us and we will take care of you. You will have a good future in the Firegod Sect.” Jiang Zeming hooked his finger, an indifferent expression on his face. It seemed as though everything was within his control.
