Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 912 Return (Part 3)

Click, click...

The black array light screen that surrounded the main hall suddenly paused, and then, like an eggshell breaking, a huge crack slowly split open from the middle.

boom!

A massive black shadow, carrying a surging, bloodthirsty aura, rushed out of the ground like a whirlwind, crushing everything in its path—rocks, cave walls, mud, sand…

This impact force, even though it was still deep underground.

This caused the air currents to surge wildly, and countless sand pillars on the ground suddenly exploded and shot into the sky.

The teleportation hall that Han Yi and his group had just left was like a child's toy in the face of this power. The black protective array was easily penetrated as easily as paper, and the sturdy hall itself was like tofu, instantly turning into dust and scattering.

The violent air currents suddenly exploded outwards, like dragons and snakes dancing wildly, like a volcanic eruption, sweeping across the sky and instantly dispersing the dark clouds, bringing a moment of clarity to the world.

Can be followed immediately.

Then it quickly went dark again.

In mid-air, a colossal black object blotted out the sky, casting a shadow that covered most of the desert.

Ho ho ho! ! !

The massive black shadow seemed to realize it was too late; no living thing had died, and its powerful impact missed its target. It then roared angrily.

The constantly vibrating sound waves rippled outwards like surging tides, roaring like thunder, shattering sand and causing rocks to crumble, whipping up sandstorms tens of meters high that swept away everything in their path. Accompanying the roars were swarms of black scorpions, a dense, overwhelming force covering the surrounding area.

……………

Three thousand six hundred and fifty meters above the desert.

Swish!

A long whip flashed with golden light, came to an abrupt stop at high speed, and made a dense, crisp sound like popping beans as it rubbed against the air, as if lightning were cracking.

The golden whip, slowly coiling up like a golden snake, gently lifted a figure.

"Such a powerful being... was annihilated in an instant... It's a bit of a pity... Its carapace provided defense, its tail spine was used to refine poison, and those two large claws..."

The man's voice was dry and hoarse, with a burning, anxious tone, and the crackling sound of burning flames could be faintly heard in the air.

"Don't be silly... This thing has been completely contaminated... Otherwise, how did this desert come about? It ate it all up..."

A moon-white flying wheel slowly appeared beside the man, while the woman was almost entirely composed of silver light, radiating a holy glow.

"I know. I was just saying it offhand." The man seemed to have known about the woman's existence for a long time, and sighed, "Sometimes I really envy those guys... They can freely enter the outside world, plunder freely, and acquire spoils, while we're like little shadows cleaning up trash, responsible for cleaning up the mess every day..."

"Isn't this our mission?" the woman said in a clear, calm voice. "You can also apply to participate in the conquest mission."

"I was just complaining a bit, not trying to get myself killed." The man chuckled, a hint of melancholy in his voice. "With great power comes great responsibility; that's the meaning behind the existence of the Hundred Veins..."

"Alright, enough nonsense. Let's hurry up," the woman urged. "If that old man hadn't insisted on finding his son, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. If we delay any longer, I'm worried that this world will awaken its own will and lose its usefulness, just like last time."

"Relax, relax." The man waved his hand and took out a pure white jade talisman.

The jade talisman was pure white and flawless, with patterns carved on it that resembled floating clouds.

"Let's do it together. Activate the cloud talisman?" The man looked at the woman.

"Mm." The woman nodded.

call…...

Instantly, the jade talisman grew larger and brighter, like a real cloud, slowly expanding and falling downwards.

Silently.

The seemingly slow-moving clouds instantly landed in the area where the Emperor Black Scorpion was located.

then.

The whole world lit up.

All darkness was dispelled, vision was rendered useless, and in the soft white light, a giant white flower rose.

The enormous Emperor Black Scorpion didn't even have time to let out a wail before it slowly melted away like butter.

The flower stretched out its petals, and everything touched and enveloped by the petals was submerged in white light, turning into nothingness and disappearing.

As the white light rose, the figures of the two people in the desert sky slowly faded and disappeared.

Rainbow City · Four Symbols Hall

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Inside the main hall, Nangong Ling's staggering figure appeared. After taking only a few steps, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, blood seeping out and flowing onto the floor. She was clearly seriously injured.

"What's going on?" On the side of the hall, a silver-armored man who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed opened his eyes and looked at Nangong Ling in surprise.

"Something went wrong. The Soul Crystal was stolen." Nangong Ling lay exhausted on the ground, motionless.

He almost missed the final emergency evacuation.

He still feels lingering fear and unease when he recalls that terrifying power that emitted endless white light and devoured everything.

"An unexpected turn of events?" The silver-armored man looked at Nangong Ling with surprise. "What happened? Wasn't everything arranged in advance?"

“A guy named Han Yi… ruined the plan!” Nangong Ling said coldly with hatred in her eyes, “We had already obtained the Soul Crystal… but he interfered and attracted the attention of the Emperor-level Scorpion King, causing the plan to fail.”

"Han Yi..." The silver-armored man frowned. "What's his background? Has it been thoroughly investigated?"

"At the Soul Condensation level, he wields excellent swordsmanship and seems to have a strong affinity for fire." Nangong Ling hesitated. "It seems he doesn't just cultivate the Divine Forging Technique; his methods and moves are somewhat similar to those of martial artists from the Central Plains."

"What school of thought?" the silver-armored man asked impatiently. "Which school? Do you know?"

“This…” Nangong Ling hesitated. During the days he hid in the Xisha Region, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to find out Han Yi’s background.

He secretly contacted several colleagues with whom he had good relationships and obtained the roster information of Han Yi's team.

Furthermore, after carefully analyzing Han Yi's information for a long time, they found no flaws.

After all, Han Yi's situation is quite simple: an outsider, a martial arts master, who was fortunate enough to obtain the status of a member of the Hundred Veins, and it seems that he has not yet joined a school. In fact, the Xisha Region is the first outside world he has entered.

This document was so clean and transparent that Nangong Ling had no way of knowing how to use it.

He needs to investigate further. He couldn't possibly have investigated the situation in the Central Plains thoroughly either.

Further investigation yielded absolutely no results; this information was practically nonexistent.

But the key is.

A person with such combat abilities could not possibly be a member of the Wandering Hundred Clans without a background or background.

It was here that Nangong Ling sensed something was wrong.

Because the special assassins trained by those powerful forces all use the same kind of intelligence data.

"So, you suspect that this was sent by another faction to deliberately cause trouble?" The silver-armored man frowned even more deeply. "You'd better be sure before you speak. Elder Wang just lost his only son. If you go and provoke him at this time... I can't protect you."

"About 60 or 70 percent," Nangong Ling said vaguely. "How could a newcomer who has just entered the outside world possibly understand the essence of the energy of the Xisha Domain in such a short time?"

Furthermore, they exhibit an extremely high affinity for fire and yang energies, as if they could control their own limbs.

He refused to believe it. If Han Yi wasn't a skilled fighter secretly trained by someone else, how could someone at the Condensation stage defeat someone like him, a Transcendent stage expert, who also possessed a Soul Weapon?

"Six or seven out of ten..." the silver-armored man pondered for a moment.

"I have some experience with martial arts in the Central Plains. Ordinary martial artists with this level of strength are all renowned elders, and they are all quite old. No matter how strong such people are, they would never have the opportunity to become members of the Hundred Clans."

Judging from his age, it's highly unlikely that Han Yi has achieved such accomplishments in martial arts. Furthermore... he also cultivates the Divine Forging Technique... so it's quite possible that, as you say, he's hiding a secret..."

"Right? Even you feel something's not right?" Nangong Ling said seriously. "Then give me another chance. Are you really willing to be tricked like this without any clear explanation?"

“Hmm…” The silver-armored man fell into thought.

After a long silence, he sighed, "Very well. You're right. Things have been messed up, but it's not over yet. This matter requires an explanation from the Hailan School, Xuanqing Mountain, and that elder..."

“Then…” A hint of joy flashed in Nangong Ling’s eyes.

"Go down and rest and recover first. You're in too poor a condition right now. I'm afraid you can't do anything." The silver-armored man shook his head. "Didn't you lose your Time-Controlling Hourglass? Go to the Jade Treasury later to retrieve a Soul Weapon. We'll consider taking action only after we're fully prepared."

"Understood." Nangong Ling nodded in agreement.

“And…” The silver-armored man paused.

After a moment, he said in a low voice, "If absolutely necessary, use any means necessary... as long as you can find out... who is targeting the elder this time... kill them without exception!" "Understood!"

Nangong Ling felt a chill run down her spine, turned around and slowly walked towards the entrance of the main hall, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Kunyuan City · Tianzhu Mountain

The sky was overcast, the sunlight was dim, and a fierce wind howled.

The sky was half-lit and half-dark, thick dark clouds piled up within it, occasionally bursting into flashes of lightning, followed by a rumble of thunder. The air was humid and hot.

The reddish-brown land was covered with cracked mud, the surface was parched and the rocks were jagged. As far as the eye could see, it was a completely desolate and dilapidated scene, with not a single patch of green in sight.
