“Where is she?”Jian Hongniang asked in horror.
Xue Guanyin’s eyes were also filled with unease. As the strongest faction in the Sea of constellations, there were actually no living beings in the star pavilion.
This was definitely not normal!
During the two years they had been away, something huge must have happened!
Caw —
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the depths of the stars.
Jian Hongniang’s expression changed slightly. “It’s the place where the chief pavilion master has been in seclusion all year round!”
Xiu —
She immediately turned into a stream of light and sped away.
“Wait for me!”As a member of the Star Pavilion, Xue Guanyin had the deepest feelings for her. She also rushed over immediately.
Su Yu was the only one who touched his chin. He looked up at the purple ancient star hanging in the sky and followed behind them at a moderate pace.
Swoosh swoosh —
A few breaths later, Jian Hongniang and Xue Guanyin arrived one after another.
It was a Taoist temple isolated at the edge of a cliff. The sound of the pine waves was heavenly, and the mist was flowing like mist. The artistic conception was in line with nature, and it was very immortal.
This Taoist crown was where the Chief Pavilion Master of Star Pavilion had been in closed-door cultivation all year round.
Jian Hongniang went straight to the highest tower in the Taoist crown.
The Chief Pavilion Master had been in closed-door cultivation here for 30,000 years.
“Who’s inside?”Jian Hongniang stared at the wide-open entrance of the tower and asked coldly.
The inside of the tower was pitch-black, so dark that it made people feel uneasy.
Caw —
A strange sound came from the dark depths of the tower.
Dong Dong —
At the same time, heavy footsteps were heard.
A faintly discernible figure walked out of the Dark Tower.
“Ice Blade Imperial Guard?”Jian Hongniang recognized this person and her face lit up. She let down her guard and quickly walked forward, saying, “What happened? Why is there no one in the head pavilion?”
Roar —
Suddenly, the Ice Blade Imperial Guard let out an inhuman roar and his entire body pounced out.
Under the purple light, Jian Hongniang finally saw his appearance clearly.
How was he still an ice blade imperial guard?
His entire body was festering, and his eyes were bloodshot and fierce. He had no self-awareness and was like a wild beast that acted on instinct.
Jian Hongniang was shocked and pulled out her long sword. “Sword asks the secular world!”
A Ray of red sword light pierced through the ice blade Imperial Guard’s body.
The Ice Blade Imperial Guard didn’t feel anything, and his body pounced forward without any hindrance. He pushed Jian Hongniang to the ground.
His stinky mouth opened, revealing sharp fangs, and he suddenly bit her neck.
“Corpse Transformation?”Jian Hongniang said in shock.
Wasn’t the Ice Blade Imperial Guard’s current appearance the corpse race that had been transformed 30,000 years ago according to the Ancient Records?
According to the classics, once bitten by the corpse clan, the powerful corpse poison would immediately attack the transformed person’s body, exterminating their life force and taking over their consciousness.
At the critical moment, Jian Hongniang’s body shook, emitting endless red golden light.
“Red Dust Sword Qi!”
Countless sword qi shot out, repelling the ice blade imperial guard that pounced on her.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jian Hongniang retreated a thousand feet.
“Xue Guanyin, retreat quickly!”She berated while protecting Xue Guanyin behind her.
Xue Guanyin was in a daze, “One of the ten imperial guards, the Ice Blade Imperial Guard, has been reduced to the corpse clan…”
Roar —
Another shocking roar came from the dark depths of the bright tower.
Three corpses with monstrous corpse qi rushed out at the same time!
“Ming Hui Imperial Guard! Longitudinal god Imperial Guard! Yuanwu Imperial Guard! !”Jian Hongniang’s pupils constricted, and a huge wave surged in her heart!
The four imperial guards had all fallen into the corpse clan!
She no longer had the time to care about what had happened in the main pavilion. Instead, she should be concerned about whether she could still leave alive!
She was at the bottom of the ten imperial guards. Even if the four imperial guards had turned into the corpse clan and their overall strength had suffered some damage, she was definitely no match for four against one!
Kacha —
The Ice Blade Imperial Guard roared angrily as he pulled out an ice blade that flashed with cold light from his palm and slashed towards Jian Hongniang.
The huge blade aura was extremely cold, freezing space and even time!
Jian Hongniang’s heart sank. As expected, they still retained their strength!
The other three imperial guards also attacked at the same time!
The best part was that they retained the tacit understanding they had when they were alive. The four of them worked together to cast four powerful divine arts.
Jian Hongniang immediately felt a life-and-death crisis. Her eyelids twitched rapidly.
“Xue Guanyin, leave quickly!”She held her sword horizontally in front of her. The sword also sensed the danger of its master. It continued to hum and burst out with powerful sword qi.
It was a pity that such sword Qi was not enough to defend against a transformed Imperial Guard.
The four of them were far from enough!
“My Lords, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you. I can not be reduced to the corpse race with you!”Seeing that she was going to die, Jian Hongniang raised her sword and moved it towards her neck.
Her sword could not only kill the body, but also destroy the soul!
“Ah!”She gritted her teeth and growled. She was about to be destroyed in body and soul.
However, at this moment, a palm suddenly reached out and grabbed her right hand that was holding the sword.
Jian Hongniang was shocked. who could get close to her without anyone knowing?
What shocked her even more was that this person grabbed her right hand, causing her to be unable to move!
Even when she fought against the strongest heavenly imperial guards, she had never been in such a sorry state!
“There’s no rush to die. It’s not time yet.”A familiar young voice sounded in her ears.
Jian Hongniang’s body trembled, “It’s You?”
She turned her head to look. It was not anyone else, but Su Yu!
She could not believe that Su Yu, who had just broken through to the gold overlord realm, had such a divine ability.
Letting go of her hand, Su Yu looked at the four imperial guards from before. He held the asura sword with one hand and swung it lightly.
“The Devil Is Born from the heart!”
The illusion enveloped the entire scene, and Jian Hongniang was no exception.
When she woke up, the scene that made her gasp was displayed in front of her eyes.
The corpses of the four corpse clan were all separated without exception!
Most importantly, their heads were all cut open from the middle, destroying their consciousness and completely dying!
Ignoring her calm gaze, Su Yu shook the black corpse blood on the sword and said, “Their souls have been corroded. Only by destroying their souls can they be killed.”
With that said, he walked to the front of the bright tower with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “Come out!”
There was still someone inside?
Jian Hongniang and Xue Guanyin’s expressions tensed up.
However, the bright tower was silent.
“Since you don’t want to show yourself, then I can only ask you to come out!”
With a sweep of the Shura Sword, a huge amount of sword qi slashed down vertically, splitting the bright tower in half from the center.
A rumbling sound reverberated throughout the universe, and dust filled the sky.
A black figure half-squatted on the ground came into view. He held a large piece of collapsed ruins with one hand, and his entire body released a powerful divine power.
The strength of that divine power far surpassed Jian Hongniang’s!
“The aura of a peak overlord!”Xue Guanyin was shocked, but when she realized Su Yu’s existence, she heaved a sigh of relief.
When Jian Hongniang saw this person for the first time, her heart trembled. “Leader of the imperial guards, Tian Zu?”
What shocked her even more was that Tian zu had not been transformed!
Her face was filled with joy, but she immediately realized that something was wrong.
They were both in the bright tower, so why didn’t the transformed corpse race bite him?
Why was he hiding and not showing himself to help?
Retracting her steps, Jian Hongniang’s face darkened slightly. “Leader Tian Zu, can you give me an explanation?”
“Hehe…”
Kacha —
Tian zu crushed the ruins in his palm and raised his sharp eyes. “The explanation is that you’re too stupid. You’re not even as good as that kid!”
Jian Hongniang turned her head and saw Su Yu staring coldly at Tian zu with disdain in his eyes.
“Those who can not be forgiven can only betray you!”Su Yu said slowly. The Asura sword in his palm reflected a blood-red cold light.
Betray… Jian Hongniang lost her focus. She felt like she was dreaming.
The leader of the Star Pavilion’s imperial guards had already been bought over by the corpse clan?
“Hehe, as the most prosperous business organization in the Sea of constellations, doesn’t the star pavilion understand that there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal benefits?”Tian zu stood up, he shook off the dust all over his body. “The ancient corpse sect has infiltrated all parts of the sea of constellations civilization for many years. All the major, medium, and small-scale forces have members of the ancient corpse sect!”
“I am only one of them.”
Hearing Tian Zu’s words, Jian Hongniang smiled dejectedly. “The head pavilion master is determined to exterminate the ancient corpse sect, but his most trusted personal attendant has fallen into the hands of the ancient corpse sect!”
“Then I have to thank the head pavilion master for staying in seclusion all year round and trusting me at all times. Otherwise, no matter how capable I am, how could I dare to make a deal with the ancient corpse sect under his nose?”Tian zu laughed heartily.
Jian Hongniang’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Bah! Traitor!”
“Hmph…”Tian zu laughed sinisterly. “Very soon, we will be companions again, just like Bing Dao and the other three.”
“You did it?”Jian Hongniang said angrily.
Tian zu said with his hands behind his back, “They refused a toast and took a forced toast. Originally, they could have been on equal footing with me and served the corpse clan together. Unfortunately, they chose the path they shouldn’t have chosen. In that case, I can only erase their intelligence.”
Jian Hongniang gripped her long sword tightly and said, “That’s because they are loyal to the head pavilion master. Unlike you, they aren’t willing to give up anything for the sake of benefits!”
“Stop bragging and lecturing me shamelessly! You still don’t have the qualifications!”Tian zu snorted and took a step forward. The powerful aura of a peak overlord enveloped over.
Jian Hongniang only let out a muffled snort, but she stubbornly stood still.
“Eh? Your cultivation has advanced so fast, and you are almost at the peak overlord level. Have you caught up with me?”Tian zu was surprised and said in disbelief, “It seems that you received an order from the chief pavilion master to carry out a mission in secret and received a huge benefit!”
“But that’s all.”Tian zu’s aura changed again.
Jian Hongniang could not withstand the even more powerful aura. Her face turned red and she spat out a mouthful of divine blood, scattering it all over the ground.
“In front of a peak overlord, anyone below the Xuan Crystal Overlord is an ant!”His aura shook and enveloped Xue Guanyin and Su Yu.
Xue Guanyin’s face instantly turned pale. Although she had a few chances to face a peak overlord directly, she was still powerless in front of them.
“Eh? You are indeed a little different!”Tian zu stared at Su Yu who was standing calmly. There was both surprise and fear.
Su Yu shrugged. “People often say that.”
“HMPH, aren’t you proficient in the language of other races? You must have learned some strange divine arts of other races!”Tian zu did not think much of it. “It’s okay to play tricks, but in front of absolute strength, you have to reveal your true form.”
“Heaven treading!”He took a step forward and immediately condensed into a terrifying and vigorous concept, crushing Su Yu.
In Su Yu’s perception, it was as if the sky had collapsed, causing one’s soul to tremble violently.
Su Yu smiled faintly. His brown pupils gradually turned silver-white and shot out two silver flames.
The two flames fused into one and turned into a silver firebird. With a chirp, it ignored the vigorous concept and entered the body of the Heaven’s foot.
The Heaven’s foot was caught off guard, and endless silver light shot out from its body.
After struggling for a while, his body went soft.
The Silver Firebird flew out with his soul in its mouth and returned to Su Yu.
In just a breath, the arrogant leader of the guards was captured!
Jian Hongniang was stunned. It was like a dream.
Tian zu was captured in just one move?
Looking at Su Yu’s back, she had the illusion that she was looking at the Head Pavilion Master!
Tian zu was terrified. “What did you do? What is this Firebird?”
Hiss —
The Firebird’s flames flickered, burning Tian zu to the point that he roared in pain, “Stop it! Stop It!”
This fire had an unparalleled restraining effect on the soul.
“Let me ask you a question. What happened after we left?”Su Yu asked.
Tian zu hesitated for a moment, then the Firebird immediately released its flames, the Flames made him beg for mercy. “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! Right after you left, the head pavilion master mobilized all the forces of the Sea of constellations civilization to form an alliance of living beings and charge into the ancient star. But in the end…”
He didn’t continue. His eyes flickered.
Su Yu said calmly, “I guess the corpse clan was already prepared. They set up an ambush, and the Alliance of living beings suffered heavy casualties. Because of a traitor like you, they informed the corpse clan, right?”
Tian zu defended himself, “I, I didn’t…”
“How are the Allied army doing now?”Su Yu asked.
Tian zu hurriedly replied, “It’s just that there are many casualties. They’re up there.”
Up There? Su Yu raised his head and looked up. His pupils constricted slightly.
Trapped on an ancient star?
“The sea of constellations has already been occupied by all of You?”Su Yu’s gaze turned cold.
Tian zu was terrified. “Other than the purple dream divine bamboo, the other three regions have been taken over.”
The South Sea, North Sea, and Star Pavilion had all been taken over by the corpse race!
“How are the casualties of the emperors?”Su Yu asked.
“Apart from the emperor who died, the other emperors are fine.”
He died? Su Yu’s expression darkened.
The death of a world emperor was no small matter. This meant that the other party had at least a powerful existence or divine art capable of killing a world emperor.
“Who killed her?”
Hearing this, Tian Zu’s eyes showed deep respect, “Lan Yue!”
“Who?”Xue Guanyin walked over and said suspiciously, “The Lan Yue you mentioned is not the same person as the Lan Yue that the star pavilion expelled, right?”
Lan Yue of the star pavilion was not worth mentioning in her eyes.
“It’s her! “The former member of the Star Pavilion, Lan Yue!”Tian zu was terrified, “It’s also her credit that the Star Pavilion was breached. She led several corpse kings to slaughter the Star Pavilion and killed all the members who stayed in the Star Pavilion! “The Pavilion Master of the Red Leaf branch was executed by her own hands. She did everything she could to the rest of the people in the branch.”
Saying this, Tian zu trembled, as if the bloody and vicious scene from that day had appeared in front of him.
“I asked myself if I had betrayed my fellow disciples and killed my fellow countrymen. I could be described as a beast, but compared to Lan Yue, Hehe, I’m simply too noble. At least I gave them a quick death. But Lan Yue, her methods are outrageous!”
The Pavilion Master of the Red Leaf Branch was afraid of Su Yu, so he expelled Lan Yue, who had a grudge with him.
No one had expected that Lan Yue would wipe out the red leaf branch. Moreover, she used bloody methods that even the heaven’s feet were terrified of to torture them to death.
“Wait! What kind of virtue does Lan Yue have to be able to lead the corpse king?”Xue Guanyin asked in disbelief.
The heaven’s feet said in awe, “You’ve been away for too long. It’s normal that you don’t know! Lan Yue is no longer an ordinary person, but the empress of the corpse emperor, Bai Qi, and the Moon Empress!”
