Seeing the Holy Grail Again

Ancient Vault of the Military Path.

An armored figure walked slowly forward on the rugged earth.

Black ribbons danced in the wind mixed with the smell of blood. As he went deeper, Slaughter Projections condensed out one after another from the surrounding deep pits...

Driven by the instinct of Killing Intent, they immediately sensed that black shadow walking in the deep pit. After letting out bursts of sounds, they pounced on him like a tsunami.

Clang——!

Before these Slaughter Projections could get close, a crisp sword chime rang out.

A wisp of Demigod Killing Intent swept across the air. Over a hundred thousand Slaughter Projections disintegrated in an instant. The deep pit that was incomparably crowded a few seconds ago became completely empty. There were still only the black ribbons silently dancing.

Bai Qi walked expressionlessly toward that giant sword towering between heaven and earth.

Beneath the giant sword, the phantoms of past generations of Path of the Soldier Demigods condensed out!

"Bai Qi!"

"You actually still dare to come back?"

"Borrowing a body to return your soul is violating the laws of heaven and earth, you are destined to suffer heavenly condemnation!"

"What meaning is there in you returning to the human world, returning to the Demigod Position of the Way of the Soldier? The Ancient Vault of the Military Path does not welcome you."

"..."

Facing the hostility of the past generations of Path of the Soldier Demigods, and that Killing Intent that almost crushed everything, Bai Qi's footsteps didn't pause in the slightest.

The Killing Intent of the contemporary Path of the Soldier Demigod vented out from his body, directly tearing an opening from the middle. He held his sword with one hand, like a young general walking into a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Facing endless roars and threats, his expression did not change.

"...Have you cursed enough?"

Finally, he stopped in the center of the crowd.

The Killing Intent of the past generations of Path of the Soldier Demigods couldn't cause any substantial harm to Bai Qi. They stared fixedly at this monster that had Resurrected. For a time, the air fell into silence.

"If you've cursed enough, Shut Up..."

"It's annoying to listen to."

Bai Qi completely ignored the surrounding Path of the Soldier Demigod phantoms. He raised his palm, and reached to grab the hilt of that giant sword towering between heaven and earth.

Buzz——!!!

As his palm pressed against the hilt, the entire Ancient Vault of the Military Path trembled violently. Vast and surging Killing Intent churned toward the surroundings as if endless!

"Bai Qi!"

"What are you doing to the Ancient Vault of the Military Path??"

This scene directly shocked the minds of the Demigod phantoms.

They were manifested from the Ancient Vault of the Military Path to begin with, so naturally they were the most sensitive to the changes in the Ancient Vault's Aura... They could feel that Bai Qi was trying to establish a connection with the entire Ancient Vault of the Military Path.

The Path of the Soldier Demigod phantoms could no longer hold back. For Bai Qi to lay his hands on the Dao Foundation of the Way of the Soldier, that was destroying their foundation, and even the foundation of all humanity. They glared angrily and gave a loud roar. The materialized Killing Intent transformed into weapons of war, and swept toward the armored figure!

Just at this moment, a crisp sword chime rang out again!

Ding——!!

The sword hanging at Bai Qi's waist suddenly seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, and swept out abruptly!

The Demigod Killing Intent precisely crashed onto those weapons of war, forcibly shattering them into nothingness. At the same time, a phantom interwoven from Killing Intent was outlined from behind Bai Qi...

That was a young general figure identical to "Bai Qi".

Jian Changsheng held a Long Sword, his gaze as cold as frost:

"Sorry everyone..."

"Right now, approaching is forbidden."

...

Ancient Vault of the Witchcraft Path.

The fiery red Awakened Lion stepped on the void and dashed rapidly, streaking across the sky like a meteor.

Those pupils nested with seven-colored rings swept across below, and finally, as if having found something, slowly descended...

The Awakened Lion's flames gradually dissipated, and a youth wearing a Tang suit walked out from within. He landed lightly on the hard earth and pushed the small Round Sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

Ahead, was a mountain peak piled full of various strange witchcraft props. Looking around, there were at least hundreds of them, with different shapes, possessing both Chinese and Western styles. It was as if someone had taken a large net and scooped fiercely in the long river of witchcraft history for a long time, only to pile up such a high mountain peak here.

At this time, a figure wearing a White Baseball Cap was standing in front of the mountain peak, seemingly having waited for a long time.

"Have you confirmed it's that item?" Sun Bumian asked nervously right after landing.

Bai Ye nodded, "From the appearance, it shouldn't be wrong."

"Where is the item?"

Bai Ye grabbed in the air, and a heavy black Wooden Box fell directly into his palm...

The surface of that Wooden Box was carved full of various bizarre and complex witchcraft Markings. Although it looked old, it had an inexplicably dangerous Aura. Sun Bumian had also lived for a thousand years, what weird things hadn't he seen? But regarding this Wooden Box in front of him, not only could he not distinguish which era's product it was, he couldn't even determine if this material was something from Earth.

"This thing..." Sun Bumian's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

He fumbled on the Wooden Box with his palm for quite a while before finding the hidden clasp to open it. With a press of a finger, the lid of the Wooden Box sprang up softly.

Clack——

An old, faint musty smell hit his face.

In the Wooden Box, lay quietly a Blood-Colored Holy Grail.

This Holy Grail, like the Wooden Box outside, had its surface carved full of bizarre Markings. Moreover, from the shape, aside from the cup opening on top, the base below seemed to be a cup opening too, just that the top cup opening was larger and thinner, and the bottom cup opening was narrower and thicker... It looked just like a base.

The moment he saw this Blood-Colored Holy Grail, Sun Bumian's pupils contracted slightly!

"That's right..."

"This is Club's thing."

Sun Bumian clearly remembered that in the previous world when they were encircling and suppressing the Calamity of Taboo, in the end, Jiang Xiaohua took out this thing, threw everything of himself into the top cup opening as a price, and then the bottom cup opening erupted with a powerful Curse sufficient to pollute more than half of the Calamity of Taboo...

All these years, Chen Ling and Sun Bumian had never given up searching for Jiang Xiaohua.

On Jiang Xiaohua's body, there were mysteries heavier than anyone in the 6-series. No one knew how that body of his maintained operation without organs, and no one knew why he was called a holy relic, why he had so many Curse props...

Chen Ling had even guessed that Jiang Xiaohua might not be a living creature in the true sense, but was attached to that body through some kind of Curse.

If that was the case...

Did it mean that as long as they found that Curse, there was a chance to see Jiang Xiaohua again?

Sun Bumian clearly remembered that in the final battle, all the Curses on Jiang Xiaohua's body were devoured by the Holy Grail. To find Jiang Xiaohua, they first had to find the Holy Grail. But that Holy Grail had already been lost in the fifth-generation world during the great battle with the Calamity of Taboo.

However, Chen Ling believed that since that thing was a witchcraft prop, it would return to the Ancient Vault of the Witchcraft Path with the Reboot of the World... So he asked Bai Ye to stay here and try to steal witchcraft props to find clues about this Holy Grail.

But actually, the two of them knew that this was all just guesswork. Moreover, even if Jiang Xiaohua's main body was really a Curse, whether the fifth-generation Holy Grail was connected to the sixth-generation Holy Grail was still unknown... Even if they found the sixth-generation Holy Grail, they might not be able to find Jiang Xiaohua from it.

But...

There are always some things that have to be tried no matter what.
