Chapter 416: Wolong Sheng (1/2)
Chapter 416: Wolong Sheng
The Divine Capital had everything, ranging from the richest and most powerful nobles to slaves and the lowliest of commoners.
Even cultivators were no exceptions. Without powerful cultivation and strong background, they were only servants at the capital.
The east side had many people like that.
The stipulated meeting place between Feiyun and Wolong Sheng was a peach mountain to the east. There were few people here, resulting in the deserted cities.
This peach mountain was in the middle of a city with peach trees everywhere. Many tourists came during spring. However, it was the end of fall. Not to mention peach blossoms, even the leaves were gone.
It was late at night so the place should have been empty. Suddenly, two shadows emerged in the night sky. They were as fast as ghosts with an evil aura.
“Poof!” The first one landed next to a pavilion. He looked around the age of twenty and wore all black. However, the guy was more like a phantom. No one could really see his appearance as if his body was made out of fog.
Just a moment ago, the pavilion was empty but now, another youth with messy hair was already lying down on a chair inside.
Two more shadows soared through the night sky; one male and one female. They left behind remnant images before landing outside the pavilion.
“Hu Ying, Ce Nanfeng, the master of the Dark Realm actually sent the two of you here?” The man said with slight astonishment.
Hu Ying was the man standing next to the pavilion. Ce Nanfeng was the person resting on the long chair.
Who knows why these four ghost-like shadows would appear in this desolate place?
Hu Ying’s voice was quite hoarse: “Was the convent’s business a success?”
The man answered: “We sent twelve men so it was a sure win. Ye Xiaoxiang is in our hands now, we’re taking her back to the capital.”
The man that was resting in the pagoda got up after hearing the name “Ye Xiaoxiang”. His messy hair hid his face as he laughed and said: “I heard Dongfang Jinshui, third-rank holder of the upper list, was also an escort? Looks like these historical geniuses aren’t much, can’t even protect a woman.”
The woman shook her head: “That’s not the case at all. Seven of our men died to him but the strength of one is limited, we still got her in the end.”
The man continued: “In order to hide from everyone, our experts are bringing her back via land. The two of you and we will meet them along the way to avoid any complication.”
Water route was the main transportation method between the convent and the capital. It would be too easy to be spotted on those rivers.
They didn’t know that Feiyun and Xiangcen were also on top of the peach mountain and saw everything unraveling down below. They heard every single word.
“What is that Wolong Sheng doing? Told us to meet here early but he’s late!” Feiyun’s patience was limited.
Xianceng stood there with her eyes as beautiful as the moon and devilish curves. She smiled and replied: “It’s still fine. At least we heard about an earth-shattering matter. Fairy Ye has been captured? That will be a fantastic story. I’m sure the capital will go wild because of this.”
Meanwhile, the four in black were about to leave. Suddenly, there was a rumble underground.
A terrifying death aura engulfed the entire mountain. A corpse warrior jumped out from the peach forest and blocked their way.
It wore a golden armor with a circular seal in front. A large talisman resembling a stone tablet hovered above its head and emitted strands of white light. It had become one with the corpse.
The group of four glanced at each other with confusion.
Where did this corpse come from?
The man’s eyes gleamed coldly through the night sky and raised his voice: “Who wants to play here?!”
There was no response.
Ce Nanfeng sneered: “Just a corpse, I’ll take care of him.”
Despite his young age, his methods were quite exceptional. Violet energy flowed through his body; he waved his sleeve and a group of violet clouds flew out, intending on dragging this corpse closer.
