Chapter 135: Soul-Refining Banner!

The time of one incense stick passed quickly, and one after another, the black shadows concealed their forms, as if they had never appeared at all.

Just at this moment, swish, swish, swish!

Three figures appeared several dozen zhang above the Li Clan, each holding a small black flag in their hands.

One of them, with a young voice, sneered: "The Great Array has already been set up. These Li Clan members are just like pigs; they haven't noticed a thing. They deserve to die!"

A thin, tall young man beside him also sneered: "There is a reason why the Bahuang Xingyu is so weak. They are weak in strength and lazy to boot; they deserve to be coveted by other star domains."

A man in white robes chuckled: "Doesn't that mean we have completed the Ancestor's mission without anyone knowing? Heaven is helping us!"

"No time to lose, let's do it!"

As he spoke, he spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the black flag and formed seals with both hands.

The other two young men also spat out essence blood one after another and began to cast their spells.

These three were the three young men from the Nether Three Sects who practiced Demon Art: Shen Guangdao, Ming Tiansuo, and Zong Xuejun.

Hum, hum, hum~

Black Qi emerged from the bodies of all three, and torrents of black Qi poured into the small flags.

Hum, hum, hum!

The three small flags grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally becoming the size of a large tree.

Just at this moment, a violent shout came from the Li Clan estate: "Who is it!"

Finally, someone had discovered the three of them.

Furthermore, a figure soared into the air and rushed over; before the person even arrived, a Great Handprint came crashing down.

Zong Xuejun, Ming Tiansuo, and Shen Guangdao all had cold, sinister auras, and having caused such a commotion, it was naturally obvious at a glance that these three were enemies.

Zong Xuejun shouted coldly: "Only just discovered us now? Don't you think it's too late?"

"Great Elder, please strike!"

An old man suddenly appeared behind Zong Xuejun and struck out with a palm, shattering the incoming Great Handprint.

The pitch-black palm, its momentum undiminished, slammed into the person's body.

"Ah!"

The person let out a miserable scream, and their body exploded with a bang.

The screams awakened the Li Clan members; lights were turned on, and the entire Li Clan estate became brightly lit.

Figures rushed out from the houses, looking around in confusion, having no idea what had happened.

"Is it raining? Why do I feel raindrops falling?"

"Yes, I feel it too. The loud noise just now must have been thunder."

"It must be. It's raining here too. Hmm, these raindrops are a bit strange; they have a fishy smell!"

"Ah! No, this isn't rain, this is blood, blood!"

After he shouted this, the others reacted as well, reaching up to wipe their faces and necks.

Their palms were covered in a thick, crimson substance, mixed with bits of flesh and bone fragments.

"Ah! People are dead!"

These people finally realized what was happening, and were immediately struck with terror, crying and screaming incessantly.

Just at this moment, there was a loud boom.

Everyone looked up and saw three giant black flags appearing above their heads.

Each flag was carved with a skull; the skulls seemed alive, with green light emerging from their eyes and a wailing sound coming from their mouths.

Torrents of black Qi rushed out from the black flags, shrouding the entire Li Clan!

Someone shouted: "Enemy attack! It's the people from the Kulu Zong! Quickly activate the sect-protecting Great Array!"

But then someone screamed in terror: "It's no good, the Great Array won't activate! It's been sabotaged!"

Someone shouted: "Run!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Figures soared into the air, fleeing frantically in all directions regardless of anything else.

But just at this moment.

A wailing sound rang out, and clusters of black mist emerged from all around, shrouding these people.

Their bodies instantly stiffened, their eyeballs bulging as if they had seen something terrifying.

Then their eyes turned a pitch-black color, and their complexions gradually turned black as well.

Their bodies swelled up one after another, soon becoming large round spheres, and then they exploded with a series of bangs.

But strangely, their hearts did not explode; drawn by an inexplicable force, they all flew toward one of the black flags in the sky.

At the same time.

Souls with twisted faces flew up, emitting sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and like moths to a flame, they were all sucked into another soul-refining banner.

No matter how these souls twisted and struggled, they could not escape the fate of being sucked in.

"Hahaha!"

Zong Xuejun laughed loudly: "Trapped by my Kulu Zong's Soul-Refining Banner, and you still want to run? What a pipe dream!"

Just at this moment, two powerful auras rushed up from below, and they shouted violently: "Nether Sect, you dare to come and launch a sneak attack? Are you not afraid that Gui Sheng Xie Yi will slaughter your three clans!"

"We have already sent a message to Lu Jiuyuan; you had better retreat quickly!"

The words had barely fallen when they were interrupted by Ming Tiansuo's loud laughter: "You are truly foolish. You think you can send a message out from inside the Soul-Refining Banner? Are you dreaming!"

Shen Guangdao also laughed heartily: "A bunch of idiots, it serves you right that your Li Clan is the first to be exterminated!"

"But you should feel fortunate; you are not the only ones in the Bahuang Xingyu being exterminated tonight. The other two clans should be accompanying you to the grave, hahaha!"

Ming Tiansuo, controlling one of the soul banners, shouted sharply: "A tiny Eight Desolations Star Domain dares to offend our Nether Three Sects; you truly don't know how to write the word 'death'."

"Today I will first exterminate three clans, and one day I will certainly exterminate your Bahuang Xingyu and strip Lu Tianyu of his tendons and refine his soul."

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the wind was gentle and the sun was bright.

Suddenly, a large five-colored cloud appeared above the Dark Turbid Current.

Gold, cyan, black, red, and earthy yellow—five terrifying bolts of thunder were brewing in the sky.

Rumble!

A terrifying bolt of golden thunder, as thick as a house, tore through the sky with the power to split heaven and earth, crashing toward the Dark Turbid Current.

With a loud boom, a massive sound erupted.

A hole was actually blasted into the center of the high-speed rotating vortex, creating a vacuum zone.

Whoosh!

A golden figure flew beneath the hole, knitting their brows as they looked at the center of the vortex.

But it was gray and hazy inside, and nothing could be seen.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure of thunder descended from above, and the golden-armored woman's figure flickered as she appeared ten miles away.

She looked at the five-colored clouds in horror, her pretty face wearing an incomparably grave expression: "It is the Five Elements Divine Thunder again; he is definitely not dead."

"If my guess is correct, this brat deliberately lured us to this Dark Turbid Current to use that person's attack to enter the Dark Turbid Current and cultivate within it!"

"This child has such deep schemes; we have actually been played in circles by him!"

A trace of anger appeared between the golden-armored woman's brows: "I do not believe you will hide inside for a lifetime and never come out!"

She was very angry.

As a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, when had she ever been schemed against like this?

Although she had come this time to find someone for her clan, she very much disliked people with such deep schemes.

Just at this moment, her brows furrowed slightly: "Why has he come as well?"
