“Wu-Wu—”
A ghost-like sound rang out and sounded just like a cry of a demonic soul from hell; Xiao Hong’s order had evidently been a tad late.
As this voice rang out, all the Earth Emanations and Demon-Killing Battle Kings were immobilized; many attacks from the mountain peak also ceased. The majority of god bandits on the mountain were also petrified by this cry. At this moment, Jiang Yi’s eyes also grew dazed. However, as the three fire dragons in his soul spirit swam about and the Xiaozhuan characters lit up, he was immediately shaken awake.
“Soul spirit attack?”
Xiao Hong’s expression once again darkened as he looked about. He realized that even some Heaven Emanations were being affected as he shouted anxiously, “Xiao Shan, Gan Qi! You two find and kill the Black Barbarian. Qiu Yi, Hong Yu, follow me to stop that Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast!”
Xiao Hong turned again and looked at Jiang Yi. He was shocked to find that Jiang Yi was still lucid. While he was surprised, he immediately sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “Brother Jiang, ask Xiao Leng to bring you and retreat. This Chaos Beast is probably at least five-million-years-old; it is very terrifying. Rest assured that I will help you to rescue the Poison Spirit back.”
Swish!
After speaking, Xiao Hong’s aura grew stronger as his body shone with golden light. His entire body could no longer be seen; only streaks of golden light were visible. Xiao Hong sped at a terrifying speed towards the northern part of the Heaven Camel Mountain.
“Wu-Wu—”
That ghost-like cry continued to ring as it came closer and closer. However, the Xiaozhuan characters in Jiang Yi’s soul spirit kept on shining continuously. Xiao Leng saw that Jiang Yi had not moved and thought that he had been immobilized as well. He was just about to forcibly take Jiang Yi away.
“Don’t touch me!”
Jiang Yi suddenly cried out as he actually closed his eyes, and his ears quivered slightly. It was as if he was listening intently to that cry?
“This…”
Xiao Leng was slightly flustered, not knowing what to do. If even Xiao Hong was wary of that powerful Chaos Beast, at Jiang Yi’s current strength, if it came any closer; Jiang Yi would be in danger. However, Jiang Yi had ordered Xiao Leng not to touch him; Xiao Leng did not know what to do now.
“Wuu-wuu!”
As that sound grew closer, numerous howls also accompanied it as terrifying beast auras enveloped the entire Heaven Camel Mountain. All the Earth Emanations and God Kings present could not move at all; many Heaven Emanations grew anxious as they flew up the mountain desperately. They wanted to kill all the god bandits as soon as possible and then head back to resist the advancing Chaos Beasts. If these Chaos Beasts rushed forward and the Earth Emanations and God Kings remained frozen, the consequences would be dire.
“It doesn’t matter anymore!”
Xiao Leng waited for a while and grew a little fed-up. He was prepared to forcibly bring Jiang Yi away. If Jiang Yi were to die, Xiao Hong would definitely not let him off the hook. As he was about to grab Jiang Yi, a cold, indifferent voice transmission came: “Don’t touch Jiang Yi; he might be having some form of a realization!”
“Who goes there?”
Xiao Leng’s hairs on his body stood up as he looked about furiously. However, he could not see a single person. The voice transmission rang out again: “Don’t bother looking. Even Xiao Hong would not be able to find me!”
“Uh?”
Xiao Leng was stunned. Xiao Hong was considered a well-known formidable martial artist in the Earth Emanations Domain. There weren’t more than thirty people in the Earth Emanations Domain that he could not detect. The thirteen members of the Earth Emanations Hall and the Earth Emanations Sovereign could not possibly appear here; that left sixteen people. Xiao Leng’s eyes shifted as he asked doubtfully, “Could it be you, Lord Mo?”
“Keep a good lookout for Jiang Yi! I will go and bring the Poison Spirit back!”
That voice once again traveled by. However, it did not verify Xiao Leng’s conjecture. Xiao Leng felt a slight breeze past him and shoot towards the left mountain peak. It was silent and devoid of any auras; it was frightening. Xiao Leng used his divine senses to scan a couple of times and immediately deduced that this person was indeed Mo Shangxing, the Mo Clan’s Scout Hall Chief. Mo Shangxing was ranked the fifth most powerful absolute formidable martial artist.
“The Earth Emanations Sovereign had actually asked Mo Shangxing to come and protect Jiang Yi secretly?”
Xiao Leng swallowed hard as he looked at Jiang Yi with newfound respect. He did not dare to touch Jiang Yi as he stayed near Jiang Yi to protect him. At the same time, he asked a few Heaven Emanations from the Xiao Clan to patrol the surroundings and ensure Jiang Yi’s safety.
“Wuu-wuu!”
That ghost-like call still had not stopped. Xiao Hong, however, had already started fighting. The yells from formidable martial artists, the horrific explosive noises, and the howls from the Chaos Beasts all rang out simultaneously. The Earth Emanation Army and Demon-Killing Pavilion forces had already killed their way up the mountain peaks. From there, explosions and cries for help rang out; it was probably only a matter of time before the god bandit militia bands were exterminated.
“What is the Black Barbarian up to? What good will it do to him if we destroyed one another?”
Xiao Leng’s gaze looked towards the mountain peaks, secretly wondering. If he was the Black Barbarian, he would have either long passed the Poison Spirit over to them or fled long ago.
Instead, he had lured a group of Chaos Beasts here; there was also an extremely terrifying Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast. The god bandit militia bands were destined to be destroyed, and the Black Barbarian would have nowhere to run to. What good would all these be for him?
Xiao Leng got his answer soon enough. A cry of fury traveled from a mountain peak, “Black Barbarian, you have allied with the Netherworld Realm! You deserve to die, you deserve to be killed! Go and die…”
“Netherworld Realm?”
Numerous Heaven Emanations’ eyes were suddenly filled with the utmost hatred as their killing auras also became stronger. They also started to show no mercy whatsoever. Originally, they had not attacked the god bandits that could not move; now, they were killing them all.
“Hmph! You idiots! Only if we ally ourselves with the Netherworld Realm can we have a shot at immortality. My Netherworld Thearch is also destined to rule the ten thousand domains. It is still not too late for you guys to turn over to the Netherworld Realm. Once the Netherworld Realm’s army invades the Earth Emanations Domain, you guys will only become the most pathetic and low-level demonic slaves. Wake up, mortals!”
The Black Barbarian laughed out loud as he paused and continued. “Truth to be told, the Black Snow Sea’s Overlord, that ten-million-years-old Chaos Beast has long been controlled by the Netherworld Race. Today, none of you will be able to escape. If you join the Netherworld Race today, you guys will still have a shot at survival. If you wait longer, you will only be able to become a zombie; your soul spirit will fall into the demonic abyss!”
“Darn! The Prefecture Lord and the others are in danger!”
Something clicked inside Xiao Leng. A ten-million-year-old Chaos Beast that was now controlled by the Netherworld Realm. If things went south today, Xiao Hong and company could all end up being assaulted by the Netherworld Aura and become Netherworld slaves like the Black Barbarian.
“Someone, come and send a message immediately to the Earth Emanations City to ask for reinforcements!”
Xiao Leng ordered one of the Heaven Emanations near to him as he looked at Jiang Yi once again. How could this person actually go into seclusion at such a crucial time? Furthermore, Mo Shangxing had said not to move Jiang Yi. Xiao Leng’s heart was racing internally; he was not sure what he should do.
“Should we leave or not?”
Xiao Leng was in a dilemma. As he was still hesitating, the Black Barbarian’s howl once again rang out, “It’s about time. Hei Yao, activate it now! Change all the formidable martial artists of the Blue Eagle Prefecture into brave soldiers of the Netherworld Race!”
The Black Barbarian had just finished speaking when the mountainous region in a five-thousand-kilometers-radius split violently, and wave after wave of black aura surged forward. In an instant, the black aura had spread to a five-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius and enveloped everyone in it.
“Oh, no, it’s the Netherworld Demon Formation!”
“Everyone, retreat—”
Terrified shouts rang out everywhere. None of the formidable martial artists present had expected that this would happen. A horrible formation had actually long been laid beneath the Heaven Camel Mountain. This formation contained so much Netherworld Aura. As it was extremely concentrated, within five minutes, except for the very few formidable martial artists with strong soul spirits and the Titled Heaven Emanations; literally everyone else would be attacked and transformed into the Netherworld Race’s army!
“It’s all over! Lord Mo… hurry up and come back!”
Xiao Leng’s ugly face twisted. He was afraid that facing such a powerful Netherworld Aura, even he would not be able to break out of its area of effect. If Mo Shangxing did not return anytime soon, Jiang Yi would instantly be transformed!
