The Sacred Ruins

Scarlet lightning bolts that could seriously injure evolvers at the perfect golden body realm coiled around the blood-colored mountains and the precipitous cliffs. There was a heavy medicinal fragrance wafting from the mountain peaks where small stalks of sparkling and translucent scarlet grass grew. Those were great medicine nourished from divine beast blood!

There were a large number of evolvers beneath a few mountain peaks, but there were much less of them compared to before.

There were more than 600 universal geniuses. Adding the 1,500 disciples from Dameng Pure Land on to that, there were more than 2,000 people in total but just over 900 people remained now.

The main thing was that this was as a result of the silver tyrannosaurus’ multiple attacks. On top of that, many people also lost their lives due to the lighting bolts atop the bloody mountain peaks. It could even be said that the troops that were sent out were at a disadvantage and they suffered a disastrous loss.

People constantly went out to explore over the past few days. Some people came back alive, but even more people never re-appeared.

“This so-called opportunity and fortune really is somewhat satirical. Five or six days have passed, yet we didn’t get anything and have been living in death’s shadow all along!” someone said, filled with resentment.

They were all gifted individuals from their own race and had endless potential. They had come here in high spirits in search of a great opportunity that could affect their lives. But who would’ve thought that after they came here, it was like splashing cold water over their heads.

“The more dangerous this world is, the more impressive the acquired fortune,” someone comforted.

“Forget it. Ou Ye and Wu Lunhui who were the very first ones to go scouting have already been away for five or six days, right? Even the two powerhouses who have the Tyran Godhead and Humanoid Monarch Blood are gone forever. What hope do we have left to speak off? Are we stronger than them? These two people are definitely dead to the point where they can’t be dead even more.”

Many people were silent because this was the reality, especially for those who went looking for a path in person. They had seen the mouse stampede and found vultures at the golden body realm fighting and killing their enemies off.

Some people even saw countless monsters dashing out and whizzing by from Vicious Beast Plateau when they looked in the distance. Numerous monsters were densely packed be it in the sky or on the ground. Even saints had to flee and withdraw from that spectacular yet terrifying scene.

As such, many people despaired.

“Wu Lunhui should be dead, but the emissary from my race has returned alive. I assume he must be returning with extremely valuable news,” said the Deity Race’s direct descendant, Luo Kunyu.

Not long ago, Luo Shirong, the emissary from Primal Chaotic Deity Palace, had returned. He was covered in dust with scars on his divine soul. Once he returned, he assembled the strongest geniuses, Ying Wudi, Yuan Shicheng, Shi Hong from the Buddhist Race, Jin Lin from the Dao Race, Yan Luo from the Corpse Race, and Qin Luoyin from Dameng Pure Land and had a secret discussion with them.

The others were very amazed and curious, too. What did the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace’s emissary Luo Shirong discover and what news did he bring back with him for him to actually be so secretive?

But the others didn’t dare to inquire into it because those who were gathered there were the strongest representatives; no one could shake up their status.

At this moment, Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng quietly returned and carefully observed those who were here. They discovered a few human-shaped ashes beneath the mountain, and it was obvious that the blood-colored lightning struck them to death.

But the beast stampede didn’t attack this area. Relatively speaking, it was considered to be safe.

“Ah! Wu Lunhui! Brother Wu, you’ve returned!” Someone noticed the both of them and loudly called out to them suddenly as he was pleasantly surprised.

Everyone was started. They got up all at once and looked over.

The duo had left a long time ago so they thought the duo was dead, yet they actually returned in good health at this time.

The Deity Race’s direct descendant, Luo Kunyu, immediately shut his mouth. He had even said that Wu Lunhui died a moment ago, yet in the end, these two appeared right away.

“Fellow member of my race, you really are impressive and fortunate as well.” Hei Xuan who possessed the Black Tortoise bloodline stretched his large black head over as he said, “I know that our Turtle Race has lived long and have always been propitious.”

Ouyang Feng felt his liver ache hearing this kind of greeting, but he couldn’t reject the other party’s good intentions, so he forced out a smile and nodded to send his best regards.

“My younger cousin sister was terribly worried these few days,” Hei Xuan continued supplementingas he hinted at Ouyang Feng as he stuck his lips out. A black mountain turtle was currently bling at Ouyang Feng from the other end with a sweet smile on her face. This was a so-called myriad variation of flirting in the Turtle Race.

Whoosh! Ouyang Feng took two steps back because all the hairs on his body stood up as a cold shiver ran down his spine right away. After that, he shrunk his neck back and felt like he needed to pee. He didn’t dare to look at them any longer and wanted to hide from Hei Xuan and his younger cousin sister.

He really couldn’t tolerate this kind of charm and allure!

“Everyone, come over here. Something big had happened.” Ouyang Feng changed the topic with an extremely stern expression on his face.

Everyone was startled and expressed it on their faces.

“Brother Wu, Brother Ou Ye, you guys have returned just in time. Hurry up and come over here. We were just planning to discuss a major incident.”

At this moment, Qin Luoyin spoke with a beautiful smile. She personally walked over from afar to greet Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng so that they would go over.

Many people were envious because there were a group of the most top-notch talents over in that region and they were all representative of their respective influential races. Wu Lunhui and Ou Ye were invited to go over once they returned this time which was an approval of their identity and status.

Thinking it through clearly, there should have an acknowledged place there as well because one possessed the Humanoid Monarch Blood whereas the other was a Tyrant Godhead after all, both of which were glorious and world-shattering bloodlines.

“The emissary from the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace hasn’t returned, right?” asked Ouyang Feng.

Qin Luoyin faintly smiled with her bright eyes and white teeth as she said, “Let’s not talk about these first. Hurry up and come over here. There are matters for us to discuss.”

At this moment, Chu Feng was suddenly at a loss for words. After that, he was lost in thought before he finally stared blankly. That was because at this moment, he heard someone calling him father.

In the blink of an eye, he was electrocuted to the point where he was burnt on the outside yet tender on the inside and was immediately dumbfounded. Who was so shameless as to call him their father? Was this a joke or was the other person deranged?

But he couldn’t find the source. That voice was too vague and dispersive, so he couldn’t hear it very clearly.

The little Daoist was incomparably anxious inside the ball of mist within Qin Luoyin’s soul armour. He could sense the situation going on in the vicinity, but regions that were slightly further than that were beyond his reach. Moreover, it was too difficult for him to transmit his voice if he wanted to.

Even though the mist outside his body that originated from the Reincarnation Cave could protect him, it isolated him from the world as well. It was very difficult from him to transmit his spirit to the outer realm and he couldn’t communicate successfully.

He shouldn’t be that far away from his biological father since his life imprint was resonating, but he could only attract a little of the other party’s attention and that was it.

“Father, save me! I’m your unborn son! Your biological son! Also, you’re in big trouble. Can you hear me?!” he roared, but he only managed to transmit a wisp of his spirit that could practically be neglected. It dissipated once it reached the outer realm and got cut off.

When Chu Feng heard it, it was all in bits and pieces and all he heard were the terms biological father, save me, son and trouble. It wasn’t very coherent.

After that, Chu Feng carefully searched for the voice. He used his powerful spiritual perception and eliminated those who were nearby. He then walked forward based on his senses!

He was very concentrated as he excluded the other, he even neglected Qin Luoyin as well but he was approaching the direction Qin Luoyin was at.

“Please come this way!” Qin Luoyin beckoned them to come over. She possessed magnificence that was unmatched in this generation. Even if she was in spirit form, she was as graceful and touching even after she turned into her human form. Her beauty couldn’t be produced locally. She was wearing a gorgeous multi-coloured soul armour that slightly revealed a wisp of heroic spirit; she had no qualms in being someone on the rank of a goddess.

Ouyang Feng and Chu Feng walked onward and followed in her footsteps.

At this moment, Chu Feng heard a weak voice transmission again.

That was because the little Daoist was frantically shouting out loudly again and again, “Father, I’m still hoping that you’ll save me, but you’re in danger yourself now. Be careful…”

Chu Feng didn’t hear the whole thing, but his heart trembled because he vaguely heard the word ‘danger’. Was someone warning him? He abruptly came to a halt.

At the same time, Ouyang Feng heard Xuan Wu’s secret voice transmission. “Fellow member of my race, what’s the meaning behind your asking as to whether the emissary from Primal Chaotic Deity Palace has returned? He returned not too long ago and were having a secret discussion with a group of the most powerful geniuses just now.”

Ouyang Feng stopped in a split second too. A terrifying divine glow shot out from his eyes and his expression turned cold all at once.

“Haha, Brother Wu, Brother Ou Ye, why are you guys still staring blankly over there for? Come over here!” Yan Luo, the successor to the Corpse Race, burst out laughing from afar as he waved at them.

Daoist Jin Lin, Buddhist Shi Hong, Winged Godhead, Yin Wudi, Yuan Shicheng, Ying Zhexian, Vermillion Bird Fiary, and Yuan Yuan were all there.

But Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng took a few steps back as they distanced themselves from the rest. They immediately sensed danger and seriously had their guard up.

Who were those people facing them? They immediately knew these two people had sensed something and someone immediately shouted, “Apprehend those two!”

Yan Luo commanded the geniuses who had good relations with his Corpse Race to seal off the area in preparation to capture Wu Lunhui and Ou Ye.

At the same time, the expressions on the faces of Ying Wudi, Qin Luoyin, and Daoist Jin Lin faintly sank. They ordered everyone to surround that area and not to let this duo go.

In the next moment, Luo Shirong, the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace’s emissary, appeared. He slowly walked out from the other side of a boulder with a faint smile on his face.

When Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng saw him, they suspected many things in a split second.

“Wu Lunhui, Ou Ye, do you guys still have humanity left in you?” Luo Shirong shouted as he immediately rose in revolt after he appeared.

Chu Feng reacted quickly unlike him. In order to stir up everyone’s emotions, Luo Shirong was waiting to take action after accumulating momentum. Rather than doing that, Chu Feng bellowed out Luo Shirong’s true character right away as he wanted to expose the other party for who he truly was a step ahead before he could.

“Shameless thing! You colluded with the living beings from this universe…” Chu Feng shouted and it could be said that he was fighting with the other party for time as he rose in revolt here.

“Despicable traitors! You killed our fellow Daoists…” Ouyang Feng also reacted at lightning speed and decisively roared.

Luo Shirong didn’t panic, but he wasn’t hiding his power anymore. He rapidly transmitted his voice and forcibly used terrifying spiritual energy to interrupt them. This was the spirit wave of a powerhouse at the quasi-golden body realm. “You two traitors still want to make bogus accusations? You guys are incomparably malicious and have killed many fellow Daoists. Even your hearts are black! You are punishable by death!” he reprimanded them.

It had to be mentioned that this person was extremely impressive. The voice transmission of a quasi-golden arhat was like a sudden clap of thunder that shook this region. The vibration was so intense that everyone’s body shook and they were secretly afraid.

If they were to fight hand-to-hand, how many people could be well-matched adversaries against Luo Shirong?

Ouyang Feng was so angry he stomped about in anger as he had been deliberately embarrassed to the utmost. This person was too vicious and the guilty party actually filed the lawsuit in saying that the duo had betrayed their own universe and colluded with the people in this universe; they harbored unfathomable motives and were good-for-nothings.

Once Chu Feng saw the expressions on Ying Wudi, Yuan Shicheng, Jin Lin, and Shi Hong’s faces, he immediately knew that it was a little too late for them to say anything now. After Luo Shirong returned ahead of time, he confidentially discussed this matter with a bunch of important figures and splashed a lot of dirty water on them.

The reason why he didn’t make such a declaration to everyone was possibly because he was afraid that when the duo returned, someone would secretly transmit a warning to them. He wanted to draw them into a dangerous spot and ensure a surefire way of killing them!

Chu Feng’s heart was throbbing with rage. Someone had actually censured and schemed against him like that.

There was no doubt that Luo Shirong had returned in advance and occupied absolute advantage as well as initiative. All of a sudden, Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng were situated in extremely dangerous circumstances.

“Were it not for the fact that I have the gifted divine technique, Clairaudient, these two dogs would have sold all of us off this time and they’d be the cause of our deaths. We many know a person for a long time without understanding their true nature!”

Luo Shirong sighed with sorrow as he explained things to everyone. In reality, he had already explained things to Jin Lin, Shi Hong, Ying Zhexian, Qin Luoyin and Yuan Shicheng.

Up until now, everyone knew of the trap Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng set up.

Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng’s hearts instantly sank as they immediately knew where the problem came from. This person had actually cultivated an ultimate divine technique like Clairaudient. This was simply the source of trouble.

Evidently, the other party could have been secretly listening to their movements when Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng had discovered that he was colluding with the humanoid life forms in this world.

Chu Feng could use an ultra divine skill like Fiery Eyes in his spiritual body state, so the other party clearly could utilise the divine technique Clairaudient in his soul state as well to find them.

In reality, that was really the case. Luo Shirong encountered the cavalry, and in order to survive, he didn’t hesitate to inform them of various secrets from his universe. He even said he was willing to cooperate with the other party and capture everyone who came all in one go to supply the deity research they were affiliated with.

In the final moment, he felt anxious and was incomparably careful, so he used his Clairaudient divine technique to scout out his surroundings. It just so happened that he sensed Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng who were in the distance and heard bits and pieces of their conversation.

In that moment, his first reaction was naturally to kill them to seal their mouths. He immediately informed that cavalry and chased after them at top speed.

However, on the one hand, Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng were quick, but on the other, numerous beast stampedes of a relatively smaller scale had broke out as well. Even that cavalry didn’t dare to chase after the duo so they could only take shelter.

That was because they lacked in numbers far too much and couldn’t confront them.

On the one hand, Luo Shirong had suggested for that cavalry to split up into a few troops so that they could continue to search and hunt for Wu Lunhui and Ou Ye from different directions. On the other hand, he set off on his return trip ahead of time. Naturally, if he was lucky enough to encounter that Wu Lunhui and Ou Ye, he would naturally kill them in one fell sweep.

He was luckier than Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng. After he evaded three beast stampedes, he found a comparatively safer route and managed to return before them.

When he was approaching the bloody mountain peak, he secretly contacted Luo Kunyu and was completely at ease when he learned that Wu Lunhui and Ouyang Feng had yet to return.

He was certain he could play tricks and act in a contradictory manner here and easily kill them both.

At this moment, this region trembled all of a sudden. Everyone was very nervous because someone had colluded with a cavalry in this world. This was simply a disaster!

If they really were to be caught and in the event that their souls were refined, they were skeptical whether they could return to their original universe. Even though those from Dameng Pure Land guaranteed that they could return even after they died in this world, everyone was still worried.

In the event that a first-rate powerhouse caught them and dissected them apart to research them, they would definitely be subjected to a serious crime such as murder. Their souls might even completely die on a foreign land and could never return ever again.

Ouyang Feng was dreadfully angry as he furiously said, “Rubbish! You’re maliciously slandering us! Luo Shirong, you turtle egg! You don’t dare to admit to what you’ve done and actually dare to frame us instead!”

Black Turtle was dissatisfied as he softly reminded him, “Fellow member, it’s not good for you to curse at him like this. You’ve cursed us as well.” Contrary to what one might expect, he hadn’t wavered and was still partial toward Ou Ye.

Ouyang Feng was choked off and was angered strongly so. At the same time, he secretly rejoiced, too, because fortunately he didn’t curse the other person as being a Jun Tuo Egg. With amazingly rapid reaction speed, he said, “I didn’t go wrong in my cursing. He’s a bastard and a turtle’s son! He’s a descendant of our Turtle Race!”

Everyone was speechless.

But this buffoonery couldn’t change the terrifying atmosphere here. Murderous aura steamed as everyone was incomparably solemn and was prepared to fight!

Luo Shirong wore a cold smile on his face and didn’t become enraged because of that. A strong ridiculing expression was reflected in the depths of his spiritual energy constructed eyes, but ordinary people couldn’t see it.

He had confidence that he could torment these two people to death very ruthlessly.

“Luo Shirong, do you still want your face?” Chu Feng spoke. He was very calm and there wasn’t a trace of frenziness in him as he calmly stood there, watching the other party intently.
