Zhan Fengting looked at Yan Tianhen and said, “It’s Master’s request to bring you and Huarong in. Originally, I wanted to bring Little Tian and Ah Tong in, but Master insisted on detaining them in Fuyao Sect and didn’t even allow them to watch the ceremony. I couldn’t get a reason from Master at first, but then I came to the Longyao family. After seeing the Dragon Emperor, I learned a little bit of news–”
They didn’t know who lit the fire. They wanted to keep warm, but unexpectedly, the insignificant flame was like a seed falling into the swamp, falling all the way down the layers of ice. The veins of the ice were revealed by the endless fire. For a while, patterns resembling leaf veins appeared on the thick solid ice under everyone’s feet from outside to inside. Centered around the fire, the veins spread towards the surrounding area.
“Heaven’s Wail will appear in the North Lands. The Dragon Emperor insisted on driving all the dragon clan disciples into the Dragon Tomb this time because he wants to keep the younger generation safe to the greatest extent possible.”
Zhan Fengting’s voice fell, and the red flame pattern had reached their feet.
Yan Tianhen suddenly stood up with wide eyes. “Heaven’s Wail will appear? Why hasn’t anyone mentioned such a big thing! The Dragon Emperor is so selfish that he only cared about the safety of the dragon clan disciples, but ignored the other visitors from all over the world?”
His parents went to the Northern border, and the East Sovereign and Lin Zhan also came here. In addition, all the major families also paid tribute and sent their disciples to watch the ceremony, but what did the Dragon Emperor do?
Regardless of whether Heaven’s Wail was true or false, the Dragon Emperor still couldn’t escape the fact that he concealed the truth, pulling over so many people to become a shield for him, perhaps even giving their lives for him.
Hai Kuanglang frowned. “But how does the Dragon Emperor know that Heaven’s Wail is coming? Did Master do this because he divined something in advance, so he didn’t let anyone from the Fuyao Sect come to watch the ceremony? If so, why did he want Ah Hen and Huarong Sword Venerable to throw away their lives here?”
Lin Xuanzhi’s dark eyes were like a cold star in the sky. At this time, there was a jumping flame vein reflected in his eyes, “I seem to understand now.”
Lin Xuanzhi saw that under the bright flame veins on the layer of ice, a black shadow was moving slowly in the deep, dark sea. The sound of fingernails scratching on the ice layer came from below. It scratched at people’s eardrums and hearing it made people’s scalp numb. “Probably to have us protect the descendants of the Dragon Clan.”
Lin Xuanzhi had already taken out the Zhige sword. He gently pursed his lips and said, “Who said that Heaven’s Wail will only appear in the sky? Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang — originally, they were the same thing. There’s Heaven’s Wail in Heaven and Earthquakes on Earth. The Dragon Palace is Yang, and the Dragon Tomb is Yin. Yin and Yang are opposite, and both are indispensable.”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The ice first broke piece by piece, then connected one by one. A crack appeared under the feet of a dragon clan’s disciple. He looked down at the crack that stretched for an unknown length, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
“The ice layer has cracked. Run!!”
“The ice layer is about to collapse. Let’s go! Hurry up!”
“What’s down there? I saw a lot of black shadows floating by. What exactly is that?”
The dragon clan disciples had never seen such a scene before. At this time, several disciples were so frightened that they lost their courage. Some started bawling, and the scene immediately became a mess.
Longyao Lingheng also stood up suddenly. He looked around the cracked ice surface and said with furrowed eyebrows, “How is this possible? The layers of ice have been stacked for so many years. It is even difficult for a Profound Realm cultivator to break it. Why did it crack?”
Longyao Yizhu’s face was pale and her fingers were trembling. “This is the wrath of the Dragon God. It means that the Dragon God was angry after he discovered an ominous person among us.”
Who is it?
Longyao Lingguang asked, “What do you mean by an ominous person?”
Longyao Yizhu retreated two steps and was obviously frightened. “It’s a demon or evil spirit. I once heard Princess Jing say that countless undead evil things had been sealed inside the Dragon Tomb during the Great Immortal-Demon War. These evil creatures can only break out from the array and reappear in the world after an evil Qi cultivator enters the Dragon Tomb and wakes them up with a special method. Is it possible… Is it possible that there is an evil Qi cultivator among us?”
Lord Yuxu hooked his lips and whispered, “Evil Qi cultivator? I’ve never seen one before, but there’s a half devil over there. I wonder if the Dragon God doesn’t like him.”
“Yan Tianhen?” Longyao Lingguang blew up and swore, “It must be him. Among us, there is only one half devil. The others are all proper human cultivators. He must be the one who angered the Dragon God. The Dragon God will punish us!”
Suddenly an ice surface burst from below.
The black shadows came out from under the layer of ice, yelled, and threw his hands and feet at the disciple nearest to him. Unexpectedly, he twisted the disciple’s head off in one bite.
“Ahhh!”
Blood sprayed three feet high. Another disciple close to the person was also sprayed with blood on his face. He screamed his throat raw. He turned and ran towards Lin Xuanzhi.
“What kind of monster is that?”
“It’s crawling so fast!”
“Help me! Ahhhh!”
“Damn it, they really are evil spirits.” Yan Tianhen was shocked, and his pupils suddenly contracted. The Yin Flame Whip appeared in his hand. He took the lead, leapt up three feet high, and used the Yin Flame Whip to cut off the head of the evil creature in midair.
Immediately afterwards, the ice layers burst everywhere. Countless evil creatures that had been sealed in the bitter sea under the ice all year round were actually resurrected one by one. They crawled up in search of the smell of human flesh. They were like fierce beasts that had lost their minds as they slaughtered their way towards the living.
“Everyone, step back. Don’t fight against them. Take defense as an attack. You guys won’t be able to kill them!” Yan Tianhen shouted loudly while killing the evil creature.
Longyao Lingheng was full of unbelievable expressions, but he also reacted very quickly. His hands suddenly formed seals and released tens of thousands of icicles to attack dozens of evil creatures that rushed at him.
However, these evil creatures were not affected at all. They rushed straight towards the icicles, allowing the icicles mixed with infinite spiritual Qi to pass through their chests without any damage.
“Dage!” Longyao Lingguang rushed towards Longyao Lingheng and knocked him away, managing to dodge a frontal attack from an evil creature.
“Get out of the way!“ Yan Tianhen roared. The whip had arrived. The whip that could be easily retracted and released wrapped around more than a dozen evil creatures at once. He used more force to slam these evil things on the ice and smashed a pit several feet deep.
Several people around were shocked by Yan Tianhen’s crisp and powerful blow, and couldn’t help gasping.
However, all this happened in the blink of an eye.
More and more human-faced monsters crawled out of the ground, using their hands and feet to kill the living.
Lin Xuanzhi pierced a purple crystal in the forehead of an evil creature. His white robes fluttered in the wind. Facing the people who were at a loss in the snowstorm, Lin Xuanzhi told them, “Smear blood on your weapons and stab the crystal in their foreheads.”
The disciples listened and followed suit one after another. The disciples who were originally helpless about these evil creatures were able to harm them at this time.
Longyao Lingheng also immediately followed suit and cut a deep wound on his arm. The icicles he released were more or less stained with blood. This time, he actually wiped out over half of a wave of evil creatures.
“It really works!” Longyao Lingheng’s eyes lit up and he said to Longyao Lingguang, “Let’s slaughter our way out!”
Although Longyao Lingguang was normally spoiled, afraid of pain and itches, he wouldn’t truly let everyone down at such a critical time.
He ran the palm of his left hand over Sinking Star, letting the blood wet the long sword, and then attacked with the Moonfall skill, sweeping away the evil creatures in front of him.
The tiger clan’s Fu Li’s eyes suddenly turned into a blank white color. He stretched out his arms, raised his hands upward, raised his chin slightly, and softly chanted something.
Under the layer of ice, all the humanoid evil creatures that were still pouring up continuously were all concentrated towards Fu Li, as if they had been bewitched. Within a moment, they had already surrounded Fu Li.
Two tiger roars sounded.
The two white tigers hidden in Lin Xuanzhi’s soul plate broke through the barrier of the soul plate and ran out of their own accord, transforming into their true forms and rushing towards Fu Li.
“Ah Bai, Hu Po!” Yan Tianhen was so scared out of his wits that his figure almost fell from the air. In his heart, he scolded the two cubs who were not afraid of death. Unexpectedly, they ran out at this time, seeking death.
Fu Li, however, was extremely calm. The instant when the roaring evil creatures rushing at him from all directions were about to catch him, an icy blue spiritual force suddenly pushed away from him in all directions. There was howling everywhere, and all the evil creatures in the battle circle were burned to ashes in an instant.
Yan Tianhen: “..”
What the fuck? Such a grand attack!
“Two tiger cubs?” Fu Li opened his light-colored eyes and saw there were two more white tigers in front of him who had almost bumped into him. He couldn’t help but slightly raise his eyebrows. Regardless of the attack of the evil creatures surrounding him, he immediately bent down and pressed one hand on each tiger cub’s head.
“Oh, the bloodline is so pure, how come they were wandering outside the tiger clan?” Regardless of the wishes of the two tiger cubs, Fu Li reduced them to the size of a kitten. He picked up one in each hand and actually left the battle directly. He then started teasing the tiger cubs and playing with them.
Yan Tianhen: “…”
The hell is this?
Lord Yuxu looked at Fu Li, and a dangerous light flashed in his purple eyes. He was behind the crowd. While they were fighting with those evil creatures, he secretly casted spells to make the ice layers crack faster, awakening more of the evil creatures buried underneath that had been sleeping for many years.
“No way! These weird things are increasing in numbers. My blood is running out. I can’t hold out anymore!”
Lin Xuanzhi said to Hai Kuanglang, “It’s no good going on like this. You and Fengting should take the others and leave here first. The place where these evil things are unsealed is only on the ice lake. It will be safe if you leave here.”
Hai Kuanglang threw away a monster and asked, “What about you?”
Lin Xuanzhi said, “I have the highest cultivation here, so I should be the rearguard.”
Hai Kuanglang looked at the disciples who were torn to pieces by the evil creatures. He gritted his teeth and said to Zhan Fengting, “Shixiong, you leave first.”
Zhan Fengting had already created a huge array. He stood in the eye of the array and let those evil things break in. When the time was right, he suddenly activated the array and jumped out, leaving the evil creatures trapped in the magic array and unable to break out.
“I cannot leave. You and Ah Hen, take the others and leave.” Zhan Fengting’s eyes had an unfamiliar coldness and determination in them.
