Chapter 1139: Imminent War
Schla!
In the mid-air, bloody light appeared, and an arm pierced through the head of the centipede Hellish-Insect. The blood splashed wildly.
The centipede Hellish-Insect had an unbelievable look in its eyes. After twitching a few times in the air, it fell dead into the river.
The blurred figure in the air flickered slightly, then it disappeared after a wave of water hit it as if it had never appeared.
The earth-burrowing dragon, that was desperately fleeing forward, noticed the movement behind it and looked back a few times in amazement. Its slender eyes blinked a few times, then it ran into the distance, looking very funny.
Hellish-Insects shrilled angrily, and several Hellish-Insects emerged from the underground beside the dark river. The leader was another Real Pellet State Hellish-Insect.
As soon as they saw the Hellish-Insect corpse floating on the surface of the underground river, the Hellish-Insects shrilled excitedly and rushed to devour the corpse.
Immediately, this Real Pellet State Hellish-Insect led the other Hellish-Insects to chase after the earth-burrowing dragon that had escaped.
After the Hellish-Insect Clan left, Liu Ming gradually appeared after a white flash.
One of his arms was dripping with blood. After a flick, there were countless tiny black granulation buds growing crazily. In a blink of an eye, his arm was recovered.
He looked in the direction of Hellish-Insects in the distance and let out a long breath.
Although Sky Escape Shadowless Talisman could perfectly hide his aura, it could turn him into invisible after all. He would still be exposed if there was any external force.
He was already deep in the Hellish-Insect Clan army. If he was a little careless, the high rank Hellish-Insect would discover him. So, he could only exchange hits to kill the centipede Hellish-Insect.
Fortunately, the recovery ability of Sky Beastkin blood essence in his body was powerful, so his vitality wasn’t hurt too much.
After Liu Ming treated the wound, he lurked in the water again and swam silently forward.
After this encounter, he became more careful on the following journey.
Within a hundred miles of Sunset Peak, although there was still no movement in the underground river, Liu Ming was keenly aware that Hellish-Insect Clan had begun to set up many secret posts here.
Fortunately, the Sky Escape Shadowless Talisman’s concealment ability was excellent, and Liu Ming was cautious. After 4 hours, he finally reached the Sunset Peak.
There was a huge gray-black mountain more than 100,000 miles west of the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range. This was where the Sunset Peak was. There was a vast valley under the mountain. The terrain was very open, and there were rolling mountains on all sides.
In the mid-air deep in the valley, there was a huge space fissure of 900 meters, emitting a dim light like a mirror and making the nearby airflow very turbulent.
The originally silent valley was now full of noisy sounds one after another. Countless Hellish-Insect Clans, large and small, gathered on the flat ground of the valley or climbed onto the surrounding hills.
These Hellish-Insects looked messy, but they were actually divided into several areas. There were more Hellish-Insects gathering outside the valley.
Those in the valley were basically at the Crystallization Period. On a flat stone platform below the space fissure, there were several human form Hellish-Insects.
When the surrounding Hellish-Insects looked at these human form Hellish-Insects, they all showed fear and did not dare to get too close.
These Hellish-Insects exuded an extremely heavy spiritual pressure, which was at the Celestial State.
…
In a hidden cave below the valley, an invisible shadow lurked behind a boulder near the entrance of the cave.
There was also a Hellish-Insect at the Crystallization Period later stage in the cave, but this Hellish-Insect did not notice that there was such a figure not far away.
This figure was naturally Liu Ming. After coming out of the underground river, he restrained his spiritual power and spent a lot of time sneaking into the valley where the Hellish-Insect Clan was.
All around, there were dense Hellish-Insect swarms. Liu Ming did not dare to emit Divine Thought. He glanced around, and his eyes focused on the space fissure in the valley.
This was exactly the space tunnel marked on the map. The surroundings were very depressed. Occasionally, a few strands of spiritual pressure emanating from the space tunnel made him shiver.
Liu Ming didn’t dare to look any further. He gripped his right hand slightly, and a green ring on his hand shattered silently.
On a mountain thousands of miles away from Sunset Peak, there were tens of thousands of Taiqing Sect’s disciples.
On a platform in the middle of the mountain, Immortal Tian Ge stood there quietly. He looked at the direction of Sunset Peak from a distance as if waiting for something.
Behind him stood Jin Lieyang, an old man in a gray shirt and a nun in a white robe. The later 2 were also Celestial State cultivators.
None of them said a word, and the surrounding Taiqing Sect’s disciples naturally kept silent, quietly waiting for orders, but from time to time, some people cast doubtful eyes on these Celestial State cultivators.
The surrounding disciples, standing at the forefront were the major peak masters of the inner doors. Each of them led a group of their own disciples.
Fallen Serene Peak’s Yin Jiuling was also there. He was standing not far from the platform where Immortal Tian Ge was. There were 30 Fallen Serene Peak’s inner disciples standing behind him. Xiao Wu was also standing beside Yin Jiuling.
Decades had passed, but her appearance had not changed much. She still had a somewhat indifferent expression. Only when her eyes occasionally looked in the direction of Sunset Peak, there was a hint of worry.
“Master, Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu has set off for a long time, and there is no news yet, will he be fine?” Xiao Wu asked Yin Jiuling through voice transmission.
“Don’t worry, Liu Ming’s cultivation has now reached the peak of the Real Pellet State intermediate stage, and I can see that the treasures in his body are flickering slightly. I’m afraid he has completely sacrificial refinement of that Mountain River Pearls. With his current strength, even I’m not his opponent now. In addition to the treasures granted by the Mystic Comprehending State grand elder, he will be fine.” Yin Jiuling smiled and replied with a voice transmission.
“Right, with Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu’s wit, even if something happens, he should be fine. I didn’t expect that Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu would end up in the deepest underworld during the years of disappearance. According to rumors, that place is the origin of the ghost technique… I must let Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu tell me what he saw there if there is a chance.” Xiao Wu bit her lightly with a strange look.
“When these Hellish-Insects are eliminated, Liu Ming will be promoted to esoteric disciple, but he is still my disciple in title. Are you still afraid that you won’t have the chance to see him?” Yin Jiuling looked at Xiao Wu with a half smile and said.
“Master, what are you saying?” Xiao Wu’s pretty face flashed a blush, and she gave Yin Jiuling a coquettish look.
“Silly apprentice, this is a word of advice from master. With the aptitude and strength Liu Ming has shown today, not only Sect Master Tian Ge, but also the Grand Elder Xuan Yu is full of praise for him. As long as he continues to develop, he will inevitably be big in the future. Haiz, I now really regret to let your Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu have a dual cultivation proposal with Jia Lan of the Piaomiao Peak.” Yin Jiuling gave Xiao Wu a deep look and said with a voice transmission.
“Master, what do you mean… I have nothing to do with Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu…” Xiao Wu became shy when she heard the words. Her face was covered with a thick blushing color, and her eyes shyly turned toward the surroundings. Fortunately, people were putting their attention on the Sunset Peak in the distance.
“Xiao Wu, you and Liu Ming are senior and junior, and you 2 had spent a lot of time in Evil Ghost Way. I believe that he will not have no feelings for you, so you should seize this opportunity. Although Jia Lan is Liu Ming’s acquaintance and she has a decent look, she is just at the Pseudo Pellet State. Under the current situation, she is not a good match for Liu Ming. With your current appearance and strength, you still stand a chance. If you miss this opportunity, you’ll cry in the future.” Yin Jiuling smiled and said with a little teasing.
Xiao Wu’s face became more and more red, and she stomped her feet lightly and walked aside.
Yin Jiuling saw Xiao Wu’s expression, and he smiled. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a gray shirt came. It was Elder Tian who Yin Jiuling relied heavily on elder.
“Why, Xiao Wu doesn’t agree?” The elder Tian obviously knew what Yin Jiuling and Xiao Wu had said, and he glanced at Xiao Wu and asked.
“She is just shy. Although Xiao Wu didn’t agree, I think she is very willing.” Yin Jiuling said lightly.
“Nephew Disciple Liu is indeed a telent. I don’t know if he is willing or not.” Elder Tian nodded, then he said with some worry.
“It depends on them. Xiao Wu is the person who will take over the Fallen Serene Peak. If Liu Ming can be tied to our Fallen Serene Peak, it would be good. If not, we will not force it. With him as my disciple, I think he will still take care of the Fallen Serene Peak in the future.” Yin Jiuling said softly.
When the elder surnamed Tian heard the words, he nodded secretly.
…
Not far from the people at Fallen Serene Peak, Piaomiao Peak Peak Master Tianyin Shangren stood here with many disciples. A beautiful girl in a blue shirt was standing behind Tianyin Shangren, attracting countless gazes around.
This girl was none other than Jia Lan.
At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing a moon-white gown flew over and landed next to Tianyin Shangren. It was Jia Lan’s master, Piaomiao Peak Elder Yuyin Zi.
Yuyin Zi glanced at Jia Lan, then she nodded to Tianyin Shangren, saying,
“It’s confirmed. I’ve already inquired that the disciple Tian Ge sent to sneak into Sunset Peak is exactly that Liu Ming.”
Jia Lan’s body trembled slightly when she heard the words. A hint of surprise appeared on her face.
