Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The Hallmaster of the Hall of the Dead, Xu Anda, was a middle-aged man who was tall and huge . He kept a beard and his eyes were filled with energy . But on closer look, there was darkness deep inside his pupils, as if there was a deep valley .
In that deep valley, black fog filled the place and there were subtly streaks of black radiances that surged .
Each of these streaks of black radiance seemed to portray a painful look on a person’s face . But although the expressions of the human figures converted from the black radiance looked tormented, they all remained seated on their knees in the black fog, as they clasped their palms, seemingly cultivating a certain manual .
Xu Anda’s back was facing the opening of the pavilion . He looked at the black dragon seat in front of him and remained silent, until someone appeared in the pavilion and greeted him . "Sikong You is here to meet the Hallmaster . "
"Oh . " Xu Anda turned around and looked at the elder in black .
The elder’s hair was snow-white in color, but from his facial features, one could tell that he looked charming when he was young . He had a peaceful look, but he revealed an aura of resilience .
But in front of Xu Anda, this elder remained very respectful .
Xu Anda looked at Sikong You and said, "Wuguan, I heard that when you were in the Million Wraith Sect, you had another brother called Sikong Nan . Not only were the both of you fellow disciples, the both of you were also biological brothers . After the both of you reached the Advanced Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, you further progressed to the Immortal Soul Stage . I believe that you were also considered a revelation then?"
Sikong You nodded his head, "There was indeed such a thing . But it’s a pity that he was killed by a Mount Shu Sword Sect sword cultivator when he was challenged . Only remnants of his soul had been placed within the broken Pearl of Styx . "
"I wanted to escape with the Pearl of Styx, but the enemies spotted me and inflicted me with grave injuries too . I lost the Pearl of Styx as a result . Because of this, my brother went missing and I have been unable to locate the Pearl of Styx since . "
Sikong You paused for a moment before he continued, "However, from what I know now, the Pearl of Styx has landed in the hands of Wang Lin of the Celestial Sect of Wonders . When he was in the Void Battleground, his flesh was greatly damaged and his soul was gravely injured . He was only able to preserve his life using the Pearl of Styx .
"There has been no news of my brother at all . It’s either his remnant soul had been wiped out by the restrictions within the Pearl of Styx or he has landed in the hands of the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and his disciple . "
As he mentioned Sikong Nan, Sikong You’s expression remained normal . His tone of voice was calm too . It was as if he was not discussing about his own biological brother, but someone who was unrelated to him . But Xu Anda could clearly feel that when he spoke, his emotions were a little delicate .
"Previously, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator that I developed clashed with Wang Lin . Furthermore, one of the Immortal Soul Stage Elder of the Hall of the Dead was also captured . I tried to help this Nascent Soul Stage cultivator hide himself, but he was still captured by Wang Lin . "
After Sikong You finished speaking, Xu Anda replied, "Along with the old King Qinguang, there have already been five Immortal Soul Stage Elders from the Hall of the Dead who have been captured by the leader of the Celestial Sect of Wonders . "
The thing about the mantras of the Hall of the Dead was that regardless of a cultivator’s level of cultivation, he was still able to cultivate these mantras . He could cultivate these mantras as his foundation and then go on to further develop them . Otherwise, he could also cultivate the mantras from other places and then change his foundation to the lineage of the Hall of the Dead .
After converting to the lineage of the Hall of the Dead, the essence of the original mantras that the cultivator had cultivated could be retained up to 70-80% .
Thus, the Hall of the Dead was not just purely a sect . Rather, it was like the Great Zhou and Great Qin Empire . Besides nurturing their own cultivators, they would also attract powerful cultivators from other places to join them .
The Hall of the Dead operated covertly . Through long-term development, there were many powerful cultivators in the Hall of the Dead now . Their potential was actually very great .
But even so, the loss of five Immortal Soul Stage cultivator, including a Hallmaster, such a loss was still very shocking .
What was more embarrassing was that such a huge loss was not compensated by any significant returns .
Sikong You said, "There’s news from the Divine Lands that Mount Yujing has revealed itself for no particular reason . Lin Feng did not appear and there seemed to have many weird points about it . Has something changed in the Celestial Sect of Wonders internally?"
Xu Anda nodded his head, "There’s this possibility . If something has really changed within the Celestial Sect of Wonders, then this is our chance . "
"But we can’t rule out the possibility that Lin Feng has set a trap to bait us . "
Sikong You bowed and said, "I have an enmity with the Celestial Set of Wonders . The previous conflict also happened because of a cultivator under me . If the Hall of the Dead clashes with the Celestial Sect of Wonders, I am willing to sacrifice myself . "
"Allow me to test out what’s going on with the Celestial Sect of Wonders . If something has really changed, we can deal with them then . "
Ever since he received the news until Xu Anda called for him, Sikong You had already understood what Xu Anda wanted . Before he even asked, Sikong You volunteered himself already .
