Chapter 891: Tianlan Holy Maiden
This so-called "thing" was exactly the fierce young man who had been captured by the Great Jin cultivators not long ago. WwW. feiazw. COM Net However, calling a corpse a thing was not inappropriate.
Looking at the corpse of the young man who had lost all signs of life, Han Li whispered a few words.
This was not his doing; rather, when he wanted to wake the young man up to ask about the origin of these Great Jin cultivators, the person had already turned purple and committed suicide by taking poison.
It seemed this young man was ruthless enough; knowing that he was doomed this time, he had actually taken a deadly poison before coming out to fight.
This way, once captured, he wouldn't have to fear the pain of soul refining or the like. However, the dissipation of his essence soul was so fast that it seemed he had done something else to himself.
Han Li shook his head, feeling quite unable to laugh or cry.
If this person knew underground that he could have been saved, but had missed his chance at life because of "suicide," he really didn't know what kind of expression he would show.
However, Han Li was not acquainted with this person, so naturally, he didn't have any special feelings. He shot out a small fireball, which turned the young man's corpse into a pile of ashes.
A moment later, the demonic cloud flew back, and the Second Nascent Soul appeared holding the black flag, waving the flag gently.
After a gust of wind, all the demonic qi was collected into the flag, which circled once and shot toward Han Li's crown, vanishing without a trace in a flash.
Only then did Han Li look around, seeing those Tuwu mortals all standing at a great distance, looking toward this side with some fear.
"Alright. This place cannot be stayed in any longer. Follow me. Before your poison acts up, you still have to tell me the location of the secret grotto." Han Li said indifferently to a carriage.
"So you are an Elder of the Yin Luo Sect! No wonder you could easily kill the old thief Feng Zhen, and have such rare medicinal pills as the Haoyuan Pill." The carriage curtain was slowly lifted, and Feng Yue walked out wearing a cloak, his voice somewhat strange, implicitly carrying a trace of excitement.
"Hehe! Yin Luo Sect Elder. We will talk about this later. Let's go." Han Li sneered, and without saying anything else, he released a flying sword and flew into the sky.
Feng Yue hesitated for a moment, but didn't delay and followed.
Immediately, the two rays of light, one in front and one behind, gradually moved away, and finally disappeared into the horizon.
At this time, those Tuwu mortals in the distance finally dared to return to the caravan side. Several leaders looked at each other and gave a bitter smile. Now the Immortal Masters they hired were dead or gone, and they were completely confused about what had happened, unable to figure it out at all.
A few days later, this matter finally spread.
The death of several Immortal Masters at once, even if they were all low-level Immortal Masters, was not a small matter, especially since it involved Great Jin cultivators who came to do business with the Tuwu people and the Sacred Palace. It could not be taken lightly.
Some Immortal Masters from the Sacred Palace moved upon hearing the news and rushed over. After some questioning and analysis, they finally recognized the murderer as the outsider who had killed several Nascent Soul level Immortal Masters in a row a few days ago.
Through the mouths of the mortals who witnessed this, the identity of this outsider seemed to have come to light, actually being an Elder of the Yin Luo Sect, one of the ten great demonic sects of Great Jin.
Since this was said by the Nine Immortals Palace cultivators who were wiped out, it probably wouldn't be wrong.
Moreover, how could the Tuwu people not know some of the fame of the Yin Luo Sect's treasure, the Ghost Luo Flag? This made the part of the Immortal Masters who participated in the interception battle feel a chill in their hearts.
It turned out that in the last battle, this Yin Luo Sect Elder hadn't used his full strength and hadn't used such a treasure. However, possessing such divine abilities and the Ghost Luo Flag, this person was probably one of the top-ranked important figures among the Yin Luo Sect Elders.
As for why this person appeared in the grassland and attacked them so fiercely, it made another part of the Tuwu Immortal Masters suddenly realize.
After all, in the Holy War decades ago, their deadly rival, the Mulan people, had the shadow of the Yin Luo Sect behind them. Could it be that this Yin Luo Sect Elder was deliberately sneaking into the depths of the grassland to seek revenge or had some other plot because of the Mulan people's failure? It seemed that only this reason could barely make sense.
After finding a plausible reason, the Tuwu people finally felt much more at ease. After all, no matter how powerful the enemy was, it would be easy to deal with them once their origin and purpose were known.
On one hand, the Tianlan Sacred Palace immediately sent a large number of cultivators to patrol the border between Great Jin and the grassland to prevent people from the Yin Luo Sect from coming to meet their Elder. On the other hand, they gathered a group of Nascent Soul level Immortal Masters with extremely fast flight speeds, ready to kill this Yin Luo Sect Elder at any time.
No matter how powerful the other party's identity was, they could not let the other party leave the Tianlan grassland alive.
Otherwise, once this matter spread, the Tianlan grassland cultivation world, led by the Tianlan Sacred Palace, would truly lose all face.
Thus, this Spirit Opening Day, the Spirit Opening Ceremony hosted by the Holy Maiden at a certain Sacred Palace, ended very hastily in just two days.
And one day later, in a heavily guarded forbidden area behind this Sacred Palace, over a hundred high-level Tuwu Immortal Masters appeared here after bathing and fasting.
This was a giant square with an area of nearly a thousand feet, with a giant array diagram drawn in the center, and just the mid-level spirit stones embedded in various places on the array diagram numbered over a hundred.
At the eye of the array in the middle of the magic array, a gray-white rectangular altar five or six feet high was built, simple and ancient, made of ordinary white stone, and several unknown rune symbols were carved on the four walls, without any other inscriptions.
At this moment, around the magic array, there were over a dozen high-level Immortal Masters at the Nascent Soul stage, all standing quietly with solemn expressions, as if waiting for someone.
After a meal's time of silence, two women and one man walked in side by side from outside the forbidden area.
Walking in the middle was a slender silver-robed woman, her face covered by a white veil, covering most of her jade face, but her hair hung down her shoulders like dark clouds, her skin was as crisp and white as snow, and a pair of beautiful eyes were clear and dreamy, making people intoxicated and suffocated.
The man on one side was a handsome young man, looking only thirty years old, but his eyes flickered, giving people a feeling of extreme vicissitudes.
The woman on the other side was a plump and alluring beautiful woman in yellow clothes, with a head of strange purple satin-like long hair, and on her bare arms, there was a fist-sized pitch-black ghost head biting on each, but this beautiful woman's autumn eyes flowed, showing no pain at all.
"Greetings, Holy Maiden, Great Immortal Masters!"
The surrounding Tuwu Immortal Masters, seeing these three enter, all bowed slightly to show their respect.
The three of them also nodded to the people around them, walked to three or four feet in front of the altar, and stopped before turning around.
"Fellow Immortal Masters, no need for formalities. This summoning ceremony is not only to hunt down that outsider, but also the first attempt to let the Sacred Beast's avatar stay in the Sacred Palace permanently. I hope all Fellow Daoists will assist this Palace with all their might. And to increase the success rate of this ceremony, the two Great Immortal Masters spent over ten years to find two suitable sacrifices to use for this spellcasting. Two Great Immortal Masters, please offer the sacrifices." The silver-robed woman turned gracefully, and her pleasant voice, like heavenly music, spread out slowly, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
The remaining Tuwu Immortal Masters, upon hearing this, mostly revealed looks of excitement on their faces.
The handsome young man and the purple-haired beautiful woman looked at each other and smiled slightly, then clapped their hands simultaneously. Immediately, a heavy sound of footsteps came from outside the square, and even the ground trembled slightly.
This made some people feel very surprised, and they hurriedly looked toward the sound.
Only to see two rows of giant bronze men two feet tall walking in from both sides of the square, each row having eight bronze men, their bodies shining with gold light, carrying a giant wooden frame and walking slowly toward the center of the square.
And there was some behemoth placed on the wooden frame.
When the wooden frame was carried to the front of the altar step by step and placed down steadily.
Even those who were calm couldn't help but gasp after seeing clearly what was on it.
A wild ox-like monster beast covered in green light, a snow-white giant python circling several times, their volumes were as huge as small mountains, but they were all in a daze on the wooden frame, unconscious.
Not only that, just by the demonic qi emitted from these two, everyone present judged that these were two seventh-level top-tier monster beasts about to step into the eighth level. No wonder even the two Great Immortal Masters had to spend such a long time to capture them alive.
"This Green Wind Ox and Ice Armor Python can be considered exotic species of the wilderness, just right for sacrificial use. But whether the Sacred Beast's avatar can truly be left in the human world because of this depends on the clan's opportunity. Let the sacrifice begin." The silver-robed woman scanned everyone present with cold, clear autumn eyes, and said unhurriedly, then raised a jade hand and flicked it lightly toward a certain giant beast on the wooden frame.
A cluster of silver threads shot out from her jade hand, instantly turning into hundreds of silver chains, binding the monster beast tightly. Then, with a flash of silver light, the giant ox's huge body floated up gently and moved slowly toward the altar.
At this moment, the Green Wind Ox, which had been unconscious, woke up. Seeing this scene, it knew something was wrong and trembled all over, wanting to struggle to get up. But it had long been subjected to several extremely powerful restrictions, and was bound by hundreds of silver chains, so how could it move at all? It could only stare in extreme anger as it was suspended and moved to the altar.
It opened its mouth wanting to roar something, but no sound could be transmitted.
The silver-robed woman twisted her waist, turned to face the altar, flicked her silver sleeve, and a cluster of fist-sized green light flew out, circling once before stopping above the giant ox's huge body; it was a miniature tripod wrapped in pale green flames, spinning endlessly, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.
The woman performed incantations with both hands, and the sound of melodious incantations slowly spilled from her lips. The green flames surged, and the small cauldron gradually began to grow, transforming into an ancient cauldron about a zhang in height.
If Han Li were here to see this scene, he would probably be dumbfounded.
Apart from the flames attached to the tripod, this ancient tripod actually looked eight or nine parts similar to the Void Heaven Tripod. The same shape, the same patterns of flowers, birds, insects, and beasts.
Truly incredible!
