When he had flown far enough, Wu Qi gave a quick glance over his shoulder at the battlefield . He saw a colossal wheel of blades glinting with a dazzling purple-and-gold light while hovering in the air, on top of which stood a thin, short Daoist, who was clad in white clothes . The man was looking up at the sky and grumbling angrily .
'It seems Reverend Yao Yue's misfortune doesn't end here!' Wu Qi thought as he nodded .
It was clear that the Gold Immortal item, which Reverend Yao Yue used to seriously injure the Green Dome Shark, was rented through the internal channel of the Myriad Immortal Alliance . Wu Qi could not help but wonder how much it cost the unlucky fellow to exchange for a full powered blow of the fearsome weapon . After unleashing the attack, the wheel had sped away in the blink of an eye . Maybe the transaction was completed and it was withdrawn by its true master .
Apparently, this white-clothed Daoist must have smelled the aura of the Green Dome Shark from the wheel . Knowing that it was a rare ancient species whose body was full of treasures, he quickly rushed here to see if he could take a fair share of the loot . But, it was a pity that Reverend Yao Yue had fled in a hurry, and the shark's soul, which was the most precious part of the Green Dome Shark, was taken away by Wu Qi . What was left for him were only some fragments of the flesh .
'Well, the shark had burned off all of its blood essence, and even its inner core is almost completely destroyed . It did not leave behind anything of value but a heap of ashes . If this Gold Immortal of the Myriad Immortal Alliance is interested, he can always bring the ashes back and worship them on an altar!'
With a malicious smile, Wu Qi quickly sped away . Now, he had a greater understanding of the Myriad Immortal Alliance . So long as one was willing to pay a certain price, not only could he hire formidable immortals to kill people, he could even rent some Gold Immortal items! 'Could there be Primordial Immortal items which one could rent in Myriad Immortal Alliance? Maybe… But, I don't think anyone can afford the price!'
His mind was filled with various strange thoughts as he pierced through the sky, his body shrouded in a faint layer of Shen energy . Before long, he had returned to Mount Moon Gazing .
The bustling Yao Yue Immortal Market had turned into a sea of flames, and the sandy beach was dotted with thousands of corpses that belonged to Immortals and cultivators . All the buildings were aflame; vague cries of pain seeking help could be heard coming out of them, the distress calls issued by the common people hired by the market . Dozens of soldiers were prowling outside the market, waving their hands every so often to supply fireballs for the buildings which did not seem to be burning strongly enough .
The soldiers had killed all the Immortals and cultivators in the market, leaving only tens of thousands of common people who were either managers of the shops, the servants of the taverns, or the girls of the brothels . In the face of the flames produced by the spells, these people had no resistance at all, and they were burned to ashes after letting out a few miserable howls amidst the raging flames .
Their bodies were gradually melted down into grease by the flame and mixed with the pillars of the collapsed buildings, causing the flame to burn even more fiercely . Amidst the plumes of dark smoke, the souls of the deceased could be seen helplessly flying up into the air, all staring blankly at the void that twisted violently because of the heat . Before long, dozens of whirlpool-like black gateways suddenly appeared in the void, where powerful suction force spewed out and drew these souls over .
Those were the emissaries of Hell who came to collect the souls of the deceased . Wu Qi glanced curiously at the black gateways . This was the first time he saw what it was like after people died on Pangu Continent . Although he had gone through quite a number of slaughters and battles here, never once did he have the chance to see so many souls being preserved .
He was surprised to see a few of these black gateways actually emitting a faint golden Buddhist gleam, and he could even hear a deep chanting coming out of them . When he looked into these gateways with the Chaotic Divine Eyes, he could see some vague figures shrouded in a Buddhist gleam . Amidst the deep chanting, hundreds of souls were happily drifting over to them .
Several other gateways suddenly blocked the way of these souls who were chanting some Buddhist mantra, their color pitch black, with sharp ghost howls echoing out through them as they tried to suck them in . But, tiny beams of light immediately shot out of the few Buddhist gateways and smashed into these black gateways . The void rang with faint reproaches and cries of pain as the black gateways shattered along with a deafening boom . The hundreds of souls flew safely into the Buddhist gateways .
"Eh? There is actually the presence of Buddhist League in hell?" Wu Qi looked at the scene in astonishment, and thought that he needed to figure this out at a later time . If cultivators of the Buddhist League were really so powerful, he would have to be more careful . After all, he had once offended a disciple of some great Bodhisattva, and even killed quite a few of them .
The unusual scene lasted for less than the time to finish a pot of tea . After tens of thousands of souls were sucked into those gateways, they gradually disappeared, and the last standing building in the market collapsed . Is huge pillar smashed onto the ground along with the flame, sending countless sparks in all directions .
The swirling flame lit up the side of Mount Moon Gazing, where colorful thunderbolts could be seen and deep explosions could be heard . Led by dozens of captains, whose cultivation bases were as strong as Heaven Immortals, hundreds of heavily armored soldiers hovered in the sky as they attacked the defensive barrier that protected a few buildings on the peak of the mountain . A few hundred Oracles floated around them while they showered the barrier with offensive spells such as thunderbolts, flames, and strong winds .
