“”Little Xuan, we don’t have much time.” Xin Han reminded again.
Hui Ling finally looked away from Chen Ge. Then holding onto Chen Ge’s divine weapon, she took out another divine weapon from her robes. It was the Six-Flame Pearl divine weapon that Biao Ting had reported missing.
Hui Ling stepped forwards and chanted a series of incomprehensible spells.
Everyone felt a jolt of pain. The divine weapons they had been incubating in their divine perception flew towards Hui Ling. Their own immortal qi attacked them. One by one, they started vomiting blood. Apart from Lonemoon, who had kept his divine weapon in his storage bag, everyone else suffered serious injuries.
Zi Chen threw out his divine weapon as well. All the divine weapons had now flown into the center of the array. Together with the Six-Joint Mystics Sword, there were a total of eleven divine weapons. The array imprisoning Lonemoon and his companions suddenly emitted a dazzling white light which covered the entire Emperor Ascension Stage. The divine weapons gradually disappeared under this light as if melting into the array. Within minutes, all the weapons had totally vanished.
The next moment, a pillar of light shot into the sky, like a passage to heaven.
“The heavenly pillar!” Xin Han exclaimed in joy, looking excitedly at the pillar.
“There’s still one more step.” Zi Chen reminded him.
Xin Han thought for a moment, then said, “That’s right. The realm gate has to be opened.” He fished out a jade gourd and conjured a hand seal. Instantly, a girl dressed in green appeared in the center of the array.
“Lady Xuan!” Chen Ge was the first to react. He tried to get up but was pressed back down by the force of the array.
Lonemoon was shocked too. How did this unlucky child get here? She did not have any divine weapon on her.
Xuan Tong looked at Chen Ge a little blankly, then turned her gaze to Lonemoon. “Chen… Elder Lonemoon!” She got up and started to walk towards them. Xin Han immediately pulled her back using a chain created from his immortal qi.
“Xin Han.” Chen Ge asked anxiously, “What are you doing? Set Lady Xuan free at once!”
Xin Han ignored him. He conjured a seal and pressed it onto Xuan Tong’s forehead. Xuan Tong felt a great rush of immortal qi pressing on her primordial spirit. Unable to bear it the pressure, she transformed back into a white fox with nine long tails.
“According to legend, the Nine-tailed White Fox is the descendent of the divine race, bearing an ancient bloodline.” Xin Han explained with a smile as he laid Xuan Tong down in the center of the array. Then sweeping his gaze over his captives, he said, “Although you’re not willing to sacrifice yourselves for the array, but with your combined cultivation power, I am sure that the gate to the divine realm can be opened!”
With a wave of his hand, Xin Han conjured a dozen wind blades which he directed at the white fox. The blades cut into her body, creating a deep gash. Large amounts of blood spurted out from it. Xuan Tong doubled up in pain. Unable to resist, she could only watch helplessly as her blood covered the whole floor.
The white beam of light at the Emperor Ascension Stage suddenly turned red. Everyone felt their bodies grow heavy. The immortal qi in their bodies started flowing out from their bodies into the array as if being sucked out by some unknown force.
“This array can drain away a person’s cultivation!” Chu exclaimed in shock. He wanted to resist the force using his qi in his body, but the pressure from the array prevented him from moving.
Everyone in the array struggled but to no avail. The loss of their immortal qi further worsened their injuries.
They would surely die once all their qi was drained away.
Lonemoon was in a state of panic. Why the hell hasn’t Shen Ying come to rescue them yet! Just then, the radish on his leg spoke up, “Ugly, I think… someone is pulling me!”
Lonemoon looked at him with his divine perception. He discovered a faint black qi surrounding the radish. Then he felt his divine perception stirring inside his body.
Was this… demonic qi?

At Invincible Sect.
“Boss, how are you getting on?” asked Shen Ying, looking at the frowning Lan Hua.
“Lonemoon seems to be under some kind of restriction. The Heart Entrapping Array is not strong enough to pull him back. And there seems to be other people around him.”
“It must be Little Bird!” Biao Ting said anxiously, “Emperor Lan Hua, please try again.”
Lan Hua’s frown deepened. “I can sense that their aura is highly unstable. They must have met with some danger. But I’m not sure what is restricting them. If I pull them back by force, I can’t guarantee, apart from Radish, that it can work on the others.”
“Didn’t you say they were in danger? We have to risk it.” Biao Ting urged, “Let’s save as many as we can.”
“Good Heart?” Lan Hua look to Shen Ying for her feedback.
Shen Ying and the chef exchanged glances. Then in unison, they nodded, “Pull!”
Lan Hua activated the Heart Entrapping Array, this time using all of his demonic qi to control it. The array followed the trail of Radish’s aura. However it stalled once it hit the restrictive wall holding back the people at the other end. Lan Hua took a deep breath and began to force-start the array.
A black qi slowly spread over the back of the mountain. The surrounding plants started to wither. The restrictive force at the other end grew stronger. Gritting his teeth, Lan Hua produced another hand seal to force-pull the people at the other end.
A beam of red light flashed across the radish pit. Dong! Something landed into the pit, covering it entirely. Then another one crashed down beside the pit.
He had succeeded!
Everyone rushed over there excitedly.
“Radish…”
Huh?
Wait! There were two radishes!
Σ(°△°|||)
Lying beside Radish was another bigger… red radish?!
“Chef!”
“Here!”
“When did it… become pregnant?”
“…”
“Shen Ying!” The red radish shook its leaves. A familiar voice came out of it, “You’ve come at last.”
Shen Ying: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Lan Hua: “…”
The others: “…”
“Who is he?”
“Are you blind, I’m Lonemoon… Holy shit!” Lonemoon took a look at himself and let out a shriek, “What happened? Why have I turned into a radish? Where’s my body?”
Shen Ying asked him tentatively, “Father… Niu?”
“What the hell have you done to me?” Lonemoon felt as if he was about to lose his sanity!
Everyone instinctively backed away.
“Wait! Is this Invincible Sect? How did I get here?”
Everyone turned to look at a certain someone in the array.
Lan Hua: “…” Shit! What has this got to do with me. How would I know that only his primordial spirit was pulled over!”
But the next moment, a series of plopping noises could be heard near the pit.
One by one, radishes sprung out from the ground like shoots after a spring rain. There were red ones, white ones, purple ones and green ones,forming a circular pattern on the ground.
“This is…”
“How did we get here? Weren’t we at the Emperor Ascension Stage just now?”
“Where are we? Why is there so much demonic qi? Is this another of Xin Han’s schemes?”
“This place looks familiar. Huh? Exalted Goddess, you’re here too. I’m Chicken, Chicken!”
“Exalted Goddess, I’m Bird! I’m Bird!”
Everyone: “…”
“Chef!”
“Master?”
“I just remembered I haven’t taken my dinner. Why don’t we… we leave now.”
“Yes Master, no problem Master!”
A furious Lonemoon hopped out of the pit: “Get the hell back, both of you!”
