The Sacred Ruins

A bugle in the distance shook the skies as a battle ensued. People from the Vicious Beast Plateau came charging, fighting at close quarters against the creatures in the vicinity of the abyss.

Chi!

!!

A multi-colored radiance emerged from the edge of the horizon and the sky it illuminated was exceptionally dazzling. This caused Ying Zhexian, Qin Luoyin and Ouyang Feng’s expressions to shift slightly.

“What’s up?” The big black yak asked with puzzlement.

“This is the cry of assistance from people from our universe, including Daoist Jin Lin, the Winged Godhead, and Buddhist Shi Hong!” Ying Zhexian said.

These people were too in this wilderness and were not very far from here. Usually they would make contact with them too. They had once mentioned if one of them had difficulties then the other would be happy to support them.

Over the course of time something similar to this had happened before, and they had helped each other out.

“They are being attacked. We should assist them, as after all we come from the same place,” Ying Wudi said.

He was from the Quasi-Immortal race and was the heir to one of the Top Ten. Naturally, his relationship with these people were moderate, and it was necessary for him to strengthen the relationship between them.

The others hadn’t said anything yet, but the Little Daoist was the first to respond to Ying Wudi. He was impassioned and enthusiastic as he said, “Your reasoning is valid and I will go forth no matter how many foes there are! Saving people is the righteous thing to do!”

Chu Feng wanted to beat him again upon seeing him be so flashy.

But in the end, he too nodded and said, “Morality, and righteousness more so, are important within my generation of evolvers. Let’s go save them!”

Everyone was rather speechless as they looked at this father-and-son duo. Immediately, they knew what they were thinking. These two wanted to temporarily escape from this place because they felt uncomfortable here.

The Little Daoist had only just been patched up and was scared of running into ill fortunes again.

As for Chu Feng, his heart was still hanging, unable to settle with these girls together.

“Charge! For your dreams, for the grand prospects, for righteousness and amity amongst humankind, let us go and save them. Attack!” The Little Daoist bent over and ran forward, calling to others.

However, he was embarrassed as he ran out himself with his little short legs while the others, including his father, didn’t move at all. It was basically a one-man show.

“Everyone, please help!” Ying Wudi cupped his hands, asking for assistance from those from Mount Eternal.

In the end, they all complied. Regardless of what happened in the past, there was no harm in going and helping them since they were now forming a crusade alliance.

“You guys go. I think I saw the old fox you guys have been mentioning, so I’m going to meet him first,” said Yaoyao.

As she finished speaking, she disappeared with a ‘whoosh’ sound. Instantly, traces of her vanished from the edge of these plains.

Was that old fox still nearby? Everyone was fearful, especially the Little Daoist, whose eyeballs nearly popped out. He was apprehensive of that lame fox. He said he would experience a bloody calamity and experienced one he did!

Everyone set off, swift as wind and quick as lightning as they swept over the great wilderness plains. On their journey, they found multiple groups of people in close combat, but they did not join in.

At last, they hurriedly reached their destination, which was an area with low mountains in the wilderness. Here, there were many fighting at close quarters and the Winged Godhead, Heavenly Golden Spider, Daoist Jin Lin, the young master from the White Phoenix clan, and so on were all here in a panic. They had previously forcefully taken up residence here, integrating into the wilderness. Yet now, their bodies were torn as their flesh had almost been completely destroyed.

“Turns out it’s you guys, the Yin spirits from the outer realms. You ought to be dead. I’ve been searching for you for more than a year, but I didn’t think I would actually meet you here. Haha, what good luck!” Their leader laughed heartily.

He was Ling Weihou’s fifth son and was Pu Lin’s elder brother.

During the past year, Ling Weihou was under great pressure as his youngest son, Pu Lin, had died. His fourth son had also died indescribably as he pursued the Yin spirits. He was in a flying rage.

Desperate, he wanted to massacre all of the Yin spirits outside of the Vicious Beast Plateau, but they had all disappeared and he couldn’t find any.

Above all, his mansion had actually been plundered and his treasury cleared empty. He saw this as an incredible humiliation and even now, he had no idea who did it.

If he knew it was done by Yaoyao, a Yin spirit in his eyes, his lungs would probably burst with rage.

“The young noble Pu Tian, are these the Yin spirits who murdered your brothers? They don’t seem that exceptional, let us shoot them dead!” An archer said as he laughed.

This time, a god from the Vicious Beast Plateau was revolting against the Vermillion Bird’s abyss. An army was sent out, with some of the nobles preceding others as they were in charge of sweeping away the obstacles en route.

Within Ying Weihou’s battalion, his sons were also dispatched. Among them, his fifth son Pu Tian had passed by and encountered Daoist Jin Lin’s group.

“Mn, don’t let a single person get away. It’ll be best if you could capture them alive and present them to my father. Only in this way will he be satisfied,” Pu Tian said.

The battle became increasingly intense. For the past year and more, Daoist Jin Lin, Buddhist Shi Hong, and Heavenly Golden Spider had made friends with many different species in the wilderness by the Abyss. As a result, they were not fighting alone.

They had more than five hundred people within their troops in this region.

However, it was simply not enough to face the three thousand cavalry Pu Tian commanded. These three hundred cavalry were all elite and were selected from the thirty-thousand-strong army.

Chi chi chi!

Arrows swept through the sky with light beams interweaving. The powerful evolvers shrieked miserably from the godlike archer’s volley as the arrows fell down, covering a large area.

Even though Chu Feng and the others had arrived just in time as they practically attacked immediately, they were shocked to witness so many people dying. Blood covered the ground as Daoist Jin Lin’s five hundred-strong troop diminished to less than one hundred members in the shortest time possible. Four hundred people had been shot dead!

In summary, these wandering cultivators were not enough to face an organized army of godlike archers.

Were it not for Jin Lin, Shi Hong, and the Winged Godhead being strong enough, they too would’ve been shot dead.

Furthermore, the fact that they could survive was also to do with Pu Tian’s orders, as he had demanded them to be captured alive.

“Put down your weapons and kneel in surrender! We’ll pardon you from death!” Pu Tian shouted.

“These so-called divine beasts from the abyss simply do not count for anything. In the past dynasties they have always suffered more losses than wins when facing the gods from the Vicious Beast Plateau. You better be smart.” Someone chided from the army’s side.

“How troublesome!” The big black yak felt his scalp grow numb. This kind of organized army of godlike archers was the hardest to deal with and was practically impossible to respond to for wandering cultivators.

Only if their powers greatly exceeded the enemies’ could they directly sweep across them.

Otherwise the godlike archers would send volleys. Unless a quasi-saint arrived, how could the other cultivators obstruct them?

“This place is not bad. There’s natural magnetic fields and lots of magnets. I’ll go and set things up, then attack them together with Zhexian!” Chu Feng said.

Then his spirit vanished from the area as he entered the underground to set up his domains.

When Chu Feng appeared once again, he called out to Ying Zhexian. The two joined forces and quietly infiltrated into the army before suddenly executing the Wonderful Seven Treasures Technique!

Bang!

A gorgeous radiance burst forth, killing more than eighty calavry in an instant. Because they were standing too closely together with their bows bent, they weren’t guarded against someone using domains to show up directly in their ranks.

“Where do these thieves come from? Shoot them dead!” Pu Tian was furious.

Two people had actually broken into his ranks, with their hearts beating as one. They were simply too rampant to dare charge by force into the group of organized archers.

“Kill them immediately!”

“No, a mist has risen. They’ve disappeared and we can’t lock down on them using spiritual power!” A godlike archer said as he realized they were already nowhere to be seen.

“It’s domains. Let’s retreat and quickly escape from the area!” Someone else yelled.

Pu Tian’s complexion gloomed indefinitely as he heard this. He uttered, “Leave the area. Use the Destroy Domain Flag to break open this so-called domain!”

Of course the army was most terrified of domains. Even an army of ten-thousand men would be completely annihilated in no time if they mistakenly entered a formidable domain.

But the army also had relevant counter-techniques, such as the Destroy Domain Flag!

Chi chi chi!

Bang!

It was at this time that Chu Feng and Ying Zhexian joined hands once more and attacked. They suddenly appeared in front of Pu Tian.

“You...”

Remember, we are the ones who killed your sixth younger brother Pu Lin and your fourth elder brother. Now we’ll send you off on your way too!” A multi-colored radiance spilled over everywhere as the spirit voice transmission echoed loudly.

“Ah...”

Pu Tian screeched as he was struck head-on. He was blown off on the spot.

But there was a death substitution talisman within his body, as well as a strand of his father Wei Linghou’s quasi-saint-level spirit beam. In a split second, it broke out.

But this wasn’t the first time Chu Feng and Ying Zhexian confronted it. Amply experienced, they completely annihilated Pu Tian in just an instant.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a short period of time, the two had killed several hundred people together. The army was in complete chaos as when they surged out of the domain’s scope, they found it had shattered even diaphyses.

Although more than two thousand people remained, they were defeated.

In reality, if only these people regrouped and truly responded to Chu Feng, they could definitely occupy advantages over them. Unfortunately, they were caught unprepared in combat. Their leaders and some of their higher-ups had perished within the domain, so the army immediately fell apart.

In the distance, Ying Zhexian, Qin Luoyin, the big black yak, and the Manchurian Tiger had already plucked Daoist Jin Lin, Buddhist Shi Hong and the others out of danger. They were heavily injured in rather dire circumstances.

“Go, let’s leave the area first just in case that army comes back reorganized. Our situation would be, as before, far from reassuring if they came back and attacked us,” said Chu Feng.

They were evidently quite distracted upon seeing Chu Feng again. Hasn’t he disappeared for more than a year? They hadn’t thought they would see him again today.

At the same time, after they saw that the people from Mount Eternal, regardless of whether it was Daoist Jin Lin, Buddhist Shi Hong or the Winged Godhead, they were also flabbergasted.

“You... how did you get here?” Even the Heavenly Golden Spider was stuttering. They had come from the Dameng Pure Land but there wasn’t anyone of this sort there.

“Hee-haw, this is Mount Eternal’s back garden, you tell me how we got here?” The old donkey said proudly.

“Who else is here?” Daoist Jin Lin asked.

“We all came, we’re all here,” Chu Feng responded.

“Thank you Brother Chu for coming to help us and disregarding the past. Many thanks!” Jin Lin and Shi Hong saluted him earnestly to show their gratitude.

“Let’s go to our other camp. Part of the troops from the abyss are there so it should be quite safe.” The young master from the White Phoenix clan said.

They were on good terms with those from the abyss, and had used their breathing techniques and wonderful methods to exchange for divine blood with the younger generation from the abyss. This wasn’t a secret and Ying Zhexian and the others had already known about this.

In the end, Chu Feng, Ying Zhexian, the big black yak and the others escorted them on their journey. These individuals were all heavily injured and they could run into accidents if they weren’t escorted.

This mountainous region, a rarity in this wilderness, was classified as one of the flying serpent’s abyss’ surrounding stronghold. Some evolvers with extraordinary strength kept watch here.

It wasn’t the first time Jin Lin, the Winged Godhead, Shi Hong, and the others had come here. They were very familiar with this area and those stationed here recognized them too. They only had to somewhat announce themselves before being let in.

Amongst the mountains, there were several gruff stone halls. These were usually areas for contemplation for the experts in charge of guarding here.

“Who is the latest to keep watch?” Daoist Jin Lin asked.

“Master Teng Huang is keeping watch here,” someone informed him.

A radiance emerged within Jin Lin’s eyes. Teng Huang was the current divine beast Teng She’s fifth generation grandson. He had already achieved quasi-sage level and his powers were mysteriously profound.

“Come in, tell me what troubles you’ve encountered.” The gentle voice of a middle-aged man came from one of the gruff stone halls. It was precisely the divine-beast-blooded Teng Huang.

Upon entering the hall, Chu Feng and the others tilted their heads and saw a pale-skinned man. He was sitting on top of a throne in the hall, looking at them amicably.

“Pop!”

Suddenly, Jin Lin attacked and chopped Ying Wudi in half at the waist!

At the same time, Shi Hong formed a giant golden palm and smacked the big black yak, who was beside him. Caught off guard, the big black yak fell apart from the impact.

Pop!

The Winged Godhead, Heavenly Golden Spider, the young master from the White Phoenix clan all mounted sneak attacks in succession, attacking in a split second.

“The guts you poisonous vipers have to return our kindness with ingratitude!” Even the most well-tempered Yellow Ox was furious right now as his eyes grew red. It was unexpected the other side would dare to do this!

“Jin Lin, you...” Ying Wudi practically couldn’t believe his own eyes. Jin Lin, whom he had formed a crusade alliance with, had attacked him. Moreover, their everyday friendship was pretty good, but he had gone so far as to chop him in half at the waist.

“You truly have no sense of shame!” Chu Feng said coldly, agitated and furious.
