Chapter 1199: It Is Too Late to Regret

"The Buddha you believe in and the great virtue you cultivate have all gone to the dogs. To think you would actually trust the Ghost Clan—heh, letting you live is just letting you repent in pain," Chen Yu said coldly.

"I know my sins are heavy and I cannot hope for forgiveness," Jingxi sighed deeply. "But there are some things you must know; the Ghost Clan has more than just this one seal."

"They have other seals?" Chen Yu's expression changed; this was not good news.

"Yes. This seal only imprisoned eighteen Priests and elders of the Ghost Clan; the true Ghost Emperor is not sealed here," Jingxi said, gasping for breath as she exhausted her final Primordial Qi.

After she finished this sentence, her body tilted, and she was about to collapse.

"You cannot die yet." Chen Yu pointed a finger, and a tyrannical Primordial Qi surged into her body.

Jingxi's spirit lifted, and under the reinforcement of Chen Yu's Primordial Qi, she finally regained a bit of vitality.

"You know exactly what is going on," Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

"The Ghost Clan claims to have ten thousand tribes. The original birthplace of that Ghost Kingdom is in the depths of the current Far West Desert. The name of that kingdom is the Ancient Ghost City."

"The Ghost Emperor is the ancestor of all ghosts and cannot be subdued by human strength. Therefore, the Ancient Gods could only use Divine Power to seal all the Priests and elders under his name, which cut off the Ghost Emperor's fortune and forced him into slumber."

"The ten Priests and elders were already so terrifying; just how powerful must the Ghost Emperor be?" Chen Yu was dumbfounded. Jingxi's words made her feel that this was very troublesome.

"Yes, he has an almost immortal body, so even the Ancient Gods could only force him into slumber and could not completely kill her," Jingxi said. "Moreover, although the sealing passage here has been destroyed and a million Ghost Clan members have died, the Ghost Emperor has already awakened."

"What did you say? He has already awakened?" Chen Yu was startled.

"Chen Yu, I have said everything I should say. Remember, the Ghost Emperor's appearance is not fixed; he could be an old man."

"He could be a child, he could be a man in his prime, or he could be a young girl. If one day you encounter him, do not think about how to destroy him, but rather... run. Run as far away as you can."

Jingxi sat cross-legged and pressed her palms together: "This disciple knows her sins are heavy and dares not continue to live in this world, so I beg the Buddha to grant me the Heavenly Karma Lotus Fire to burn away my soul and atone for my sins."

A mass of golden flames ignited from Jingxi's body, and heavy sounds resonated around her, like the chanting of gods and Buddhas. Amidst the Sanskrit singing, Jingxi turned into ashes.

Chen Yu sighed slightly. Jingxi herself was a person who had attained the Dao, but it was a pity she realized it too late.

She had finally attained enlightenment before her death, but unfortunately, it was all too late. She used the Heavenly Karma Lotus Fire to burn away her physical body and soul, which counted as atonement, but it was a pity that Liu Lianxin could not come back.

After exiting the Altar, Tianxin and the others hurried to greet him.

Previously, Tianxin, Sanwei, and the others had only heard great commotion inside, but the seal had isolated them outside the Altar, causing them to worry anxiously outside without being able to enter.

Now that they saw Chen Yu come out, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen Yu, are you alright?" Sanwei walked up and asked with concern.

"I am fine. The matters inside have been resolved," Chen Yu said.

"Resolved?" Tianxin was stunned. "What exactly was inside?"

"Many people died; other than that, there was nothing. Let's go back," Chen Yu sighed slightly.

The matter of Liu Lianxin made him feel very guilty, so he did not want to mention the things inside the Altar again.

Just as the group was about to leave, a team composed of three factions, numbering several dozen people, arrived in a grand, imposing manner.

"Has this place already been reached by others first?" A large man saw the situation here and could not help but be angry.

"Big Brother, this group of people arrived before us. They must have something in their hands. Take them down, and our three families will split it," a lean man shouted.

Tianxin waved her hand, and the disciples of the Seven Star Sect immediately became alert.

This group of people in front of them were Dharma Cultivators; they definitely had no good intentions coming here.

"Friends, we are all here to hunt for treasure. It really wasn't easy to get here. What treasures did you obtain? Could you let us have a look?" the large man said with a fake smile.

"There is nothing inside, only dead people. Everyone should just go back," Tianxin said indifferently.

She understood the rules of the world of Dharma Cultivators better than anyone. These people were clearly not kind-hearted; their only goal now was to kill and seize treasures.

"Heh, two in the Primordial Qi Realm, the rest have just entered the threshold. We have six people in the Primordial Qi Realm from our three major factions," the large man sneered. "Do you think you can get past this hurdle?"

"Everyone, we are from the Seven Star Sect of Shu City. There really is nothing inside, and this is an Altar where many people have died."

Tianxin tried to reason with these people: "So please, everyone, do not harm our harmony because of things that do not exist in here."

"Do not exist? I don't believe it. Even if there is nothing inside, you cannot escape. Once you reach the Cloud Void Realm, there are no rules that can constrain us," a woman sneered.

"Enough nonsense, capture these people first," the large man waved his hand, preparing to act.

"Are you sure?" Chen Yu was in a bad mood. He opened his eyes and stared coldly at the large man in front of him.

"Heh, what, you still want to threaten me? You don't have a shred of Primordial Qi on you; you're just here to make up the numbers, right?" The large man sneered.

"Let me deal with this brat." The lean man stepped forward, reaching out to deal with Chen Yu.

Suddenly, his body stiffened, his eyes widened, and he looked at Chen Yu in disbelief.

A powerful aura locked onto him, and within this aura was a chilling murderous intent.

"Lao San, what's wrong?" The large man stared at the lean man and asked, "Why aren't you attacking?"

"Attacking? I'm afraid he won't have the chance," Chen Yu smiled slightly and retracted the aura that had locked onto the lean man.

The lean man felt the pressure lift. He turned his head back and said tremblingly, "Big Brother... he is, he is an expert."

"An expert?" The group was confused. Chen Yu did not have a shred of Original Power on him, and looking at his appearance, he didn't seem like an expert at all.

Suddenly, with a 'pop', a cloud of blood mist exploded from the lean man's body. He didn't even have time to scream before he was vaporized.

"Lao San..." The large man's eyes were about to split with rage. He roared, "Watch out, this is an expert."

He pointed his right hand into the void, and a Sword Qi formed in mid-air. A powerful aura firmly locked onto the dozens of Dharma Cultivators at the scene.

At the same time, a cold and indifferent voice sounded at the scene: "All of you, go to Reincarnation."

*Hum—*, the transparent Sword Qi swept across the scene, the biting aura whistled away, and everyone present instantly turned into dust.
