All around them, the people descended into a deathly silence.
“Senior Jiang Is… dead?”
The cultivators froze in mid-air with blank expressions on their faces.
They could not believe their eyes. Senior Jiang was a Perfected Person in the State of the Golden Core, and he was killed by a golem!
In their daze, the golem’s palm struck them again. They did not manage to dodge in time and were hit squarely.
Several people instantly exploded into giblets.
The other people were heavily injured. They vomited blood as they flew backward.
“Let’s go!”
Scared out of their wits, they turned around and prepared to run away.
Meanwhile, several cultivators were rushing over to their aid. When they saw the situation, they were all stunned.
What was going on?
Why were those people running away, as though there was something abnormally terrifying chasing after them?
“Haha! Look at their faces!”
They could not help but laugh as they pointed at the fleeing cultivators.
They thought that those people were playing a prank on them!
However, their expressions changed when they took a closer look. The fleeing cultivators were battered and miserable as if they had just experienced a bloody battle.
How was that possible?
Soon, that group of people fled past them, not even noticing their existence.
They were stunned for a long time until they heard a loud bang from not far away, returning them to their senses.
When they turned around to see, their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
‘F*ck! What’s that thing? It’s as tall as a mountain!’
All color drained from their faces. Without saying another word, they turned around and ran.
From the looks of how the earlier group fled, they could tell how powerful that thing was. They did not want to end up in the same state.
Soon, rays of light shot into the sky.
Not long after, several more groups of people came over. When they saw the immense golem standing among the mountains with a corpse in its hand, they were all shocked and left in a panic.
Many Huaxianese people were among them. Duan Shaolong was one of them.
They took out their stardisks which turned into meteorites, rushed out of the atmosphere, and flew into the vast universe.
After the last group of people left, peace returned to Earth.
For mundane people, the incident did not affect them much, except for some people who happened to take photos of the beams of light streaking across the sky.
The golem stood amid the Kunlun Mountains for a long time. Eventually, it could not support its own weight anymore and collapsed. Its body shattered into pieces, and it was completely destroyed.
At the foot of the mountain, everyone gathered together, their faces full of agony.
Corpses were laid in front of them.
There were cultivators from Hua Mountain, Mao Mountain, and Kongtong.
“I want to take my senior uncle back and bury him in Mao Mountain,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said with a choked voice.
As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed several times to the body.
Tang Hao meditated for a while and finally stood up.
He walked over and kowtowed to each of the bodies, feeling extremely saddened.
“Dammit, those bastards are inhuman! We have to take revenge for this!” Taoist Master Qian Ji said angrily.
“How should we do that? They are so far away, we can’t simply go over there!” Hierarch Baiyun said.
“We’ll go over the same way they came over. Didn’t we kill a lot of them? Let’s search their bodies,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said.
The people rummaged through the ruins and dug up the bodies of those people.
After searching through the bodies, they found a stardisk, but it was severely damaged.
“Dammit!”
After fiddling with the stardisk for a while, Taoist Master Qian Ji tossed it away disappointedly.
“Hey! What are you doing? How can you toss away such a precious thing?” A puff of smoke suddenly appeared and took the stardisk.
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I’ll be embarrassed!” Tian Xuanzi giggled.
“Wait! Aren’t you dead?” Tang Hao blurted, feeling extremely confused.
He remembered that the guy had died earlier. He was even quite moved by the sacrifice!
“Ahem! Look at me… I’m still fine, right? I won’t die that easily!” Tian Xuanzi coughed.
Then, he explained, “Actually, it’s like this. I had nothing to do for all these years, so I divided my soul into several parts. I can afford to lose one or two of them.”
Tang Hao was speechless.
If he had known earlier, he would not have been so affected.
“Can you repair this thing?” Tang Hao asked.
Tian Xuanzi shook his head.
“So what’s so precious about it?”
“Hah! You guys have no idea! Even if the thing is inoperable, it’s still a treasure. The materials are very precious,” Tian Xuanzi said. “Even they don’t have too many of these.”
The people were disappointed when they heard that.
“However, it’s not impossible to get there!” Tian Xuanzi said.
“How?” Tang Hao asked eagerly.
Tian Xuanzi chuckled and said with some self-satisfaction, “I have an especially powerful secret treasure in Kunlun. It can connect the Void. It’s called the Kunlun Mirror.”
“Connect the Void?”
Everyone was confused.
“To put it simply, it’s an Anywhere Door. In the scientific sense, it’s a wormhole. I managed to loot a stardisk back then and used it to connect to their world.
“However, I am only a soul, and I can’t pass through it. If you want to go, I can open up the passage and send you there.
“It’s also very simple to come back. It’s like opening a tunnel in their backyard. We can sneak there and back, but of course, we can’t let them discover us.”
Everyone was excited when they heard that.
“This is great! This is amazing!”
Even Tang Hao was excited.
If he could go there, not only would he have a chance to take revenge, but he could also increase his cultivation base. He had burned so much of his lifespan that if he did not increase his cultivation base, he would only have another two or three decades to live.
After thinking for a moment, he calmed down and said, “There’s no rush. We should clean up first!”
“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s clean up this mess first. Once everything is ready, we’ll go over.”
Everyone said hurriedly.
The sun rose a while later. A large fleet of helicopters flew toward them.
When they got close, General Bai jumped down. He was extremely excited when he saw Tang Hao and the others.
“All of you are fine! That’s great!”
He walked over, shook Tang Hao’s hand excitedly, and hugged him tightly. Then, he continued hugging the others.
The Taoist masters and the others left with their fellow cultivators’ bodies.
Tang Hao stayed behind and chatted with Tian Xuanzi for a long time. Then, he went deep underground and saw the Kunlun Mirror.
Then, he and Qin Xiangyi left by helicopter.
When they returned to Westridge and saw the familiar scenes, they felt as though they had been away for a long time.
“Let’s go home!”
Qin Xiangyi smiled brightly, took his hand, and walked forward.
