Chapter 1585: Chapter 1584 (Raw 1566): Chaos Everywhere

At this moment, the Lotus Sect Temple’s Feng Yun was glowing and smiling. He was in a very good mood as he led three peak Yin Essence Stage cultivators downstream.

“What an obscure place. This area is very desolate and isolated in the first place. Most people would not come here. To think that there is an even more concealed area further down, a completely different world!”

The one who spoke was the Clear Feather Sect’s Fang Yun, Wei He’s senior brother. This time, he was the one shepherding the Clear Feather Sect disciples.

Fang Yun’s talent was much greater than Wei He’s.

“It is truly a completely different world. Who could have expected there to be a secret passageway at the bottom of the river? Brother Feng Yun, was it really a coincidence that you found this place?” Flying Snow Palace’s Liu Mu, the other person at the side, eyed Feng Yun suspiciously.

Feng Yun’s heart immediately sank. He could not afford to offend any of these three people. It was no exaggeration to say that they were the top three of the hundred-odd elite disciples here.

Each of these people was highly trusted by their sects and was tasked with protecting their juniors.

Without a certain level of strength, how could they be so trusted?

Feng Yun quickly explained, “I really found this place by accident. Something happened, and I coincidentally discovered it.”

“Haha! Brother Wang, let’s not make things difficult for Brother Feng Yun. He is willing to share the news of this place with us. We should be thanking him instead,” the last person, a stocky man, laughed imposingly.

This was the Flying Cloud Mountain Manor’s Tuoba Yun. He was exceptional in Movement Techniques, Leg Techniques, and his physical body.

Liu Mu smiled and said, “I was just casually saying. Brother Feng Yun even swore on this. How can I doubt him?”

The Clear Feather Sect’s Fang Yun nodded and said, “That’s right. Let’s not argue anymore. Even with the four of us, we will not be able to fully absorb ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy. There is no need to argue over this or scheme. We should just work together.”

The amount of energy contained in ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy was tremendous.

Of course, it was different for someone like Xiao Chen, a person with the bloodline of one of the Great Desolate Hundred Races and deep accumulations.

Some people ended up bloated when they overate. However, others could eat a lot and perfectly digest it all, nourishing themselves.

This was the advantage of having deep accumulations.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The four continued advancing along the river. Soon, they felt an icy wind and immediately revealed smiles on their faces.

Suddenly, Feng Yun’s expression wavered slightly. He raised his hand to rein in everyone. “Stop for a while.”

“What’s wrong?” The three looked at Feng Yun.

“Something is off.” Feng Yun took one small step, feeling suspicious. “The cold wind is much weaker than when I first came. The difference is like the sky and the ground, starkly different from back then.”

“What!” His three companions were all startled, feeling it was somewhat strange.

The Flying Snow Palace’s Liu Mu’s face sank as a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He demanded angrily, “Feng Yun, are you making fools of us?”

The Clear Feather Sect’s Fang Yun quickly said, “Don’t get agitated. No matter what, Brother Feng Yun would not have the courage to fool the three of us at the same time. He should be telling the truth. The most important reason is that I do feel the remnant energy of very dense and strong Baleful Yin Energy!”

The other two sensed their surroundings for a while and noticed the same thing. “That seems to be true.”

“You are truly the Clear Feather Sect’s Senior Brother Fang. Your Mental Energy is much stronger than ours.” Feng Yun released his bated breath and quickly flattered Fang Yun.

Fang Yun was indeed the strongest among these three. He was the first person that Feng Yun approached.

After walking for a few kilometers, the group arrived at the cave, and their expressions turned grave.

“There’s a restriction.” Fang Yun frowned slightly. Then, he added, “This formation is rather impressive. It looks like someone else came in before us.”

Feng Yun’s expression changed drastically. “That’s impossible.”

How could that be impossible? Little Yellow Feather found this place first, to begin with. Feng Yun only found it by coincidence.

“This looks like the Tianyi Sect’s formation. It should be Luo Nan and Fei`er, as well as that Ye Bai!” The Flying Cloud Mountain Manor’s Tuoba Yun analyzed after taking a look.

After Feng Yun heard Ye Bai’s name, fear flashed across his face as he involuntarily shrank back a little.

Liu Mu’s eyes were very sharp, so he asked, “Brother Feng Yun, what’s wrong?”

Feng Yun tried to gloss over his previous expression with a smile. “Nothing’s wrong. I think that Ye Bai is not easy to deal with. I should be more cautious.”

The Clear Feather Sect’s Fang Yun nodded and said seriously, “The judgment of a Major Primal Core cultivator should not be wrong. That Ye Bai is definitely not easy to deal with. However, since we are here already, we definitely will not retreat.”

Fang Yun spoke with pride written on his face. Clearly, while he acknowledged Ye Bai, he was also very confident in his own strength.

Tuoba Yun smiled and said, “It is just one Ye Bai. How can he scare the three of us? At worst, we will just kill Luo Nan and his junior sister. It is not impossible for us to share the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy equally.”

“That’s right. He will not be able to swallow up the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy alone. If he is not wise, I don’t mind killing him as well!”

The few were very prideful and did not care too much.

Ye Bai was quite strong, but the three of them were not weak, either. Their cultivation was even one grade higher than Ye Bai’s.

For the sake of ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy, such a risk was worth it, possibly even negligible.

“Come, let’s break the formation together!”

Fang Yun was skilled and bold. He immediately led the way into the formation.

Just as the four entered the formation, splashes came from the underground river as three ferocious beasts leaped out.

One was a demonic black ape standing tall, one was a twin-headed, malicious hound, and one was a huge, blue lion.

Among them, the demonic black ape was the strongest, a match for a newly advanced Primal Core cultivator. The other two ferocious beasts could rival the Black Ink Tiger that Xiao Chen fought earlier.

It has been more than one hundred years since Lord Jiao Snake forbade any ferocious beasts from approaching this place. Why would it have us come here to kill someone today?

Perhaps even Lord Jiao Snake cannot kill the person who came?

The twin-headed, malicious hound and the blue lion communicated through voice projections.

The demonic black ape said indifferently, Don’t overthink. Lord Jiao Snake is able to negotiate directly with those sect elders. If it were someone that it could not handle, it definitely would not get us to do it. It must be concerned about something else.

Right, let’s carry out Lord Jiao Snake’s instructions without delay. After that, we will definitely receive great rewards!

The three strong ferocious beasts stopped communicating and carefully headed forward.

—

Inside the formation within the cave, the hearts of Luo Nan and Fei`er, who were giving each other the cold shoulder, sank at the same time. Then, they exchanged glances: someone was coming!

Luo Nan immediately checked, and his expression changed slightly. “It’s Fang Yun, Tuoba Yun, Liu Mu, and the Lotus Sect Temple’s Feng Yun.”

Fei`er said rather anxiously, “This is not good. They are all very hard to handle.”

Aside from Feng Yun, this pair of senior brother and junior sister could not deal with any one of the others.

The two had promised Xiao Chen that they would not leave this spot. This made their situation extremely dangerous.

“Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!”

Little Yellow Feather appeared very solemn. It looked around while beside Luo Nan, acting as if the situation was not good.

Feeling frustrated, Luo Nan pushed Little Yellow Feather aside and said, “Little bird, stop messing around. Go play with fire at the side.”

The moment Fang Yun and his group stepped into the formation, Xiao Chen, who was anxiously refining the ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy, immediately sensed them.

His mental state fluctuated as a result.

Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense was much stronger than the Mental Energy of Fei`er and Luo Nan. He grasped all the movements of everything nearby.

However, right now, all he could do was wait anxiously.

Feng Yun again? This Lotus Sect Temple fellow is truly a cockroach.

If I had known, I would have just used a trump card and not have given the other party a chance to flee. Perhaps this would not have happened.

He was at a crucial moment in refining this ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy. If things went wrong, he might die from his body exploding.

The ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy possessed very vast energy in the first place. Furthermore, it had already gained intelligence, which made it even harder to deal with.

It was like having a thousand unruly wild horses that he needed to tame one by one.

Just this alone kept Xiao Chen busy; he could not afford to be distracted.

Furthermore, if someone attacked him, interrupting him, he would definitely fail the refinement; he might even die here.

However, just these alone would not shake Xiao Chen’s mental state.

The main thing was that the other three people who appeared were powerful. Even with the aid of a formation, Fei`er and Luo Nan were no match for them.

If the two left, Xiao Chen would still be at peace. If they ended up dying here to protect him, he would not be able to remain at peace.

With all sorts of thoughts distracting him, fluctuations in his mental state were inevitable.

Just at this moment, that ten-thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy noticed Xiao Chen’s mental state wavering. Grabbing this opportunity, it struggled free of Xiao Chen’s restraints and barged into Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness.

This ruthless and ferocious Baleful Yin Energy actually wanted to fight to the death. It wanted to flip the situation around and directly swallow Xiao Chen’s soul, trying to seize Xiao Chen!
