Heaven’s Devourer - Chapter 0122

Chapter 0122: 0122

Stained Glass Sky Peak, Stained Glass Palace .

The palace was like an iceberg perched on the mountain . It really had the feel of an immortal palace . Those that roamed within this immortal palace were like immortal men and women .

In the palace of glass, two women faced each other . The lush beauty with a severe nature, Lan Huayi, and the warm and tender Lan Boli .

The two spoke for a while . Lan Boli showed a hint of worry . "Auntie, the Zhongyuan Dao Sect is overboard, actually teaming up with ghostly cultivators and demons . Is there no one to stop them?"

Lan Huayi barked a laugh . "In our area, the Dong Sheng Divine Continent is the furthest east . It's far from the center, and is considered a whole other world by itself . The martial cultivators in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent are not even worth mentioning . When one is far away from authority, the powers that be will not intervene . Furthermore, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to provide assistance in such a short amount of time . ”

"And by the time someone does, the Bipo Mountain Range will probably already be Jiang Xie's," Lan Huayi added as an afterthought .

"Then, can we ask for help from 'that place?’ After all, the Heavenly Sword Sect is part of them . "

Speaking of that place, Lan Huayi shook her head . "It's too far, and there's too little time . Even if we succeed, they might not take it seriously . And even if they do hurry over, they still might not make it in time . "

"Is the situation really so urgent?" Lan Boli worried .

"Mm . We don't know what they are preparing . In truth, they should have attacked earlier . Even so, killing Yang Qing was already a signal . I estimate that in a few days . . . . "

Lan Huayi's expression was ugly . She had fought with Feng Xueya for so long, only to be invaded by outsiders .

"Then how should we deal with it?" Lan Boli asked .

Lan Huayi looked at her . "None of your business . Beating them off is up to us . "

"Auntie, I'm already at the eighth tier of the Qi Condensation Realm," Lan Boli grumbled .

"And so what?" Lan Huayi was firm on this . She did not want Lan Boli to fight . She shot her a sharp glance . "Boli, have you fallen in love with Night Wishes for Snow?"

"Eh . . . . " Lan Boli started a little suspiciously . "Auntie, why would you suddenly ask something like that? It's not important . "

"Speak . " Lan Huayi stood there, menacing .

Lan Boli stammered, "This is my personal business, and nothing much compared to the survival of the sect . . . . "

"I object," Lan Huayi interrupted . And then she softened her tone . "Boli, you and him belong in different worlds . Once we are past this impediment, I will apply to send you to that place, and then you will be forever separated, one in heaven the other on earth . There is no chance!"

"I . . . . " Lan Boli's eyes were brimming .

If she went there, did it mean they could never meet again? And even if they did, there might be a gulf between them .


. . . . . .

The Zhongyuan Dao Sect was located to the east of the Bipo Mountain Range, on the Zhongyuan Immortal Mountain . It was a mountain twice as high as Heavenly Peak, and their superior numbers had built many palaces around the Zhongyuan Immortal Mountain .

On the west side of the Zhongyuan Immortal Mountain, there was Fuli Palace, which was the territory of the prince of the Zhongyuan Dao Sect, Jiang Junlin .

Ever since their return from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Fuli Palace had been ringing with curses and rants . The voice had only subsided recently .

Fuli Palace was plastered with talismans everywhere, with a huge eight trigram diagram in the center . It looked like an extremely proper place, and proudly displayed the righteousness of an orthodox sect .

However, within Fuli Palace stood seven people, completely dressed in black, and their heads masked . They were garbed in the same manner the Spectral Concubine had been . They were of a spread in height, gender, and appearance, but each had the intensity and sinister aura that eclipsed the Spectral Concubine's tenfold . Compared to them, the Spectral Concubine was but a small child .

Their presence filled Fuli Palace with an eerie atmosphere . A closer listen would discern low, ghostly cries . Shadows flitted through the curtains, lurking under beds and around corners . And the ground thudded as though huge beasts roamed below one's feet .



Although they wore headscarves, a sharp stench of blood permeated the place, unable to be concealed . These seven were murderers, cultivators of the Ghostly Dao . In the East Sea, they were well known as the Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts .

Of course, they called themselves the Scarlet Sea's Seven Immortals .

In Fuli Palace, the Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts stood to one side . On the other was Jiang Xie, standing proper in a black-and-white dao robe . His hands were clasped behind his back, and Jiang Junlin was sitting in the lotus position on the ground before him . Jiang Junlin completed his cultivation . He wiped the fine sweat that had gathered on his brow and stood up .

"Have you recovered?" Jiang Xie asked .

"Mm . The Reunion Pill is indeed effective . After my Chest Meridian recovered, because it had a spiritual source before, re-condensing qi only required Spirit Concentration Pills . And now I'm back at my previous level . I just don't know if there are any scars or trauma left . " As he said this, Jiang Junlin recalled his own defeat at Wu Yu's hands . His face darkened and grew malicious .

"Father! That Wu Yu humiliated me twice! And this time, he almost crippled me! I hate him so . I will be repaid, blood for blood . I will personally end him, and smash his corpse into a thousand pieces . I will make him suffer all the pains of this world, and die in exquisite agony . Only that will ease my hate!"

He was totally unchecked in the Zhongyuan Dao Sect . He had never been slighted so badly before since he began cultivating dao .

Jiang Xie frowned slightly . "You have let your hatred cloud you . That Wu Yu is indeed not bad, but his only mistake is to be of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and destined to have no future . You should set your sights further . Order yourself, and challenge the dao . "

"Yes, Father! But I must end him to continue my path . Or he will forever be an inner demon in my heart!" Jiang Junlin said in a low voice . In his resignation, there was still resentment .

Jiang Xie frowned . "I'm afraid you cannot best Wu Yu in any short order . "

Jiang Junlin laughed coldly . "As long as he dies, who cares if I best him? The day we attack the Bipo Mountain Range will be the day Wu Yu suffers hell!"

"Keke . . . . " Just at this moment, the leader of the Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts laughed . He was as short as a 10-year-old, but his voice was coarse and belonged to a middle-aged man .

"Tian Yijun, do you have some idea in mind?" Jiang Xie turned back to regard him seriously . Although he was the shortest, Tian Yijun was the leader of the Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts .

"I have something that will allow Prince Jiang to defeat his opponent in a straight fight . On top of that, it will cause his opponent to suffer the agony of Hundred Ghost Devouring for life . " Tian Yijun laughed wickedly .



"Marvellous! Many thanks to Senior Tian Yijun!" Jiang Junlin exclaimed excitedly .

His conflict with Wu Yu had begun in Capital Wu . His two defeats, and near crippling, had escalated it to an intolerable level .

And even thinking of Wu Yu now, he trembled with hate .

"Sect Leader Jiang, is the Ninth Spirit not here yet? We are all anxious . " A silken voice came from amidst the Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts, even more compelling than the Spectral Concubine's .

Jiang Xie smiled . "Seven Cloud Concubine, do not be anxious . I reckon it will be within these few days . And when the time comes . . . "

. . . . . .

Heavenly Palace!

The strongest core members of the Heavenly Sword Sect were seated here .

The Sect Leader, Feng Xueya; the Sect-Protector, Lan Huayi; and the Five Elders, including Elder Shentu, the Lone Elder, and Elder Gongsun .

There was also the Elder of Imparting Arts and the Elder of Enforcement .

A total of nine, the nucleus of the Heavenly Sword Sect .

"The Scarlet Sea's Seven Ghosts together have the power of a Jindan immortal . Added to Jiang Xie and Ninth Spirit, that’s a total of three combatants at the Jindan realm . And below them, there are many of the ninth and 10th tiers of the Qi Condensation Realm . There are at least 10 of them . Although we are stronger than the Zhongyuan Dao Sect, their combined might surpasses us by a length . " The Elder of Imparting Arts sighed as he shook his head .

Elder Shentu said, "All these years, we have relied on the defensive setup of the 10,000 Swords Formation that the two masters fashioned to protect the sect . Once the 10,000 Swords Formation is broken, our younger disciples in the sect will be directly faced with battle . If that happens . . . . "

Saying thus, he choked on his worry .



"There is no need to belittle ourselves and raise them up . The 10,000 Swords Formation that our leaders created might not be penetrable . And if they really come killing, we'll be like cornered rats . Would we fear them? I don't believe that Jiang Xie is unafraid of the casualties that his sect will suffer . They will be irrecoverable!" Elder Gongsun raged .

"Even if they kill a thousand, they will lose 800 in return . And if we are pressed to fight for our lives, they will definitely be severely wounded! After all, I am already prepared to fight to the death," the Lone Elder said .

This group of elders already had no hope of reaching Jindan . They would soon die, their dao vanishing . Therefore, they were unafraid of death .

Hearing the discussion, Lan Huayi suddenly spoke up . "What you all say makes sense . There is no way to know the outcome of this battle before it is fought . Although our fighting power is at a disadvantage, taking the Bipo Mountain Range is a dangerous affair, and there is the 10,000 Swords Formation . Victory is undecided in a battle to the death . But I have a suggestion . "

They were all listening to her now .

Lan Huayi said, "If the opponent breaks the 10,000 Swords Formation, then we will fight to the death . But we have to leave some seeds behind . If we lose, they can still grow again, and not die here on Bipo Mountain Range with us . They are still young, and unable to help us fight anyway . We should protect them at all costs . And if the Bipo Mountain Range survives this attack, recalling them back will be an easy matter .

The wrinkled Elder Shentu opened his eyes . "The Sect-Protector means to send away a portion of our elite disciples away from the Bipo Mountain Range and keeping them from taking part in the defense?"

"That's right . "

Lan Huayi had already talked this over with the other four elders, and none had raised objections .

She continued, "Among the disciples, the youngest and most excellent are undoubtedly the Sect Leader's and my personal disciples . Only eight remain . Besides Night Wishes for Snow and Lan Boli, the others are no help in the battle . They will merely be fodder . But if we send them away, they can still grow to strength again in the event that we lose . They could then take back the sect .

Lan Huayi's words were not without reason . The others looked at each other, but no one raised an objection .

They were indeed useless in this immortal battle, and would only be casualties .

But in the end, the decision fell to Feng Xueya . After all, his disciples were involved .
