“If you succeed in this task, I will reward you,” the hermit said, “and even with this mortal body, you will have a chance to reach the threshold of immortality.”
Wang Xiaofeng looked at the Xuanren beside him and said gratefully, “Thank you, Xuan Wudao!”
“Next, the one who will change your body is my disciple.” The hermit turned to glance at the black-robed figure behind him.
The masked man nodded gently and stepped forward.
Upon seeing this person, the four members of the Wang family’s faces all changed slightly.
They only knew Xuan Wudao, but not this masked man.
This masked man… was giving off a very unsettlingly cold aura.
“You can call him He Dao, or Liù Dào,” the hermit said. “He is more skilled than I in the art of transforming souls.”
“Rest assured, he is equally trustworthy.”
With the explanation reaching this point, the Wang family of four naturally wouldn’t have any more questions.
“Let us exit the secret room,” the Mystic said with a slight smile.
“Yes.” The three Wang family members exited the secret room together.
The mystic glanced at the masked man and also left the secret room.
In the secret room, only the masked man, Wang Xiaofeng, and the unconscious Su Changge remained.
“Bang!”
The secret room door shut.
Wang Xiaofeng looked at the masked figure in front of him, his heart still a little uneasy.
“Lie down.” the masked man said.
Wang Xiaofeng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the stone bed in front of him and lay down on it.
Now, he lay side by side with Su Changge.
The masked man circled around Wang Xiaofeng, muttering obscure incantations and raising his hands.
Wang Xiaofeng was extremely nervous and closed his eyes.
……
Outside the locked room.
“Grandmaster Xuanwu, the Bai family sent an invitation, asking you to join them for a gathering.” The Great Elder walked up to Xuanwu and whispered.
“What time is it?” the mystic asked.
“The other party said… waiting for you at any time.” the Grand Elder replied.
“Good.” The mystic nodded.
The Elder hesitated for a moment, then spoke, ” Xuan Wudao… Please tell me, who from the Bai family are you acquainted with?”
“Lao Bai, Bai Wuya,” the Taoist smiled slightly. “Old friends from within the Shen Yin Hui, it’s been many years.”
“The Hidden God’s Meeting… I understand.” The Elder Patriarch’s face was filled with surprise, and he then nodded, no longer prying further.
……
North Building 101, Hushan.
“Behind the Wang family, behind the Bai family, it turns out they are all from the Shenyin Hui…” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, he said, “After the recovery of spiritual energy, these old undead have all come out of the mountains…”
“What is the purpose behind their support of these families?”
In theory, after one’s cultivation reaches the Tribulation Transcendence stage, they should have transcended worldly fame and such base pleasures.
“Fang Brother, the masked man inside the secret chamber is about to make a move.” Huixu reminded.
“Well, we should strike back too,” Fang Yu said coldly.
……
A secret room.
The masked person set up a small magical formation around the stone bed.
The formation isolates the outside air and sound, greatly minimizing interference.
At this moment, the masked man is still reciting incantations.
He slowly raised his hands, wrapped in gauze.
Wang Xiaofeng only felt a tightening sensation throughout his body, and above his recumbent form, a faint white mist rose.
The next second, his soul slowly left his body.
The soul was extremely transparent, and one could barely see its outline without careful observation.
When the soul completely left Wang Xiaofeng’s body, his body became completely still, like a corpse.
The masked man controlled this soul spirit, slowly transferring it toward Su Changge’s body.
This process must be handled with extreme care.
Exposed souls are quite fragile, even the slightest damage can have a huge impact.
Gradually, Wang Xiaofeng’s soul drifted onto Su Changge’s body.
The masked man began chanting the incantation again.
“”
His hands, glowing white.
At the same time, Wang Xiaofeng’s soul started falling towards Su Changge’s body below.
The soul spirit is very close to Su Changge’s body.
Just at that moment.
“Whoosh!”
A sliver of silvery light shot out from Su Changge’s forehead, accompanied by an intensely sharp aura.
“Pff!”
The soul spirit about to enter Su Changge’s body was instantly pierced by the silver light, shattering in an instant!
Wang Xiaofeng’s body beside him suddenly twitched, and then his limbs stiffened.
The moment the soul dispersed, declared Wang Xiaofeng’s utter demise!
This happened in the blink of an eye!
“Whoosh!”
A silver light flashed.
The speed was so fast that even the masked man remained in the releasing posture.
“Pfft!”
In the blink of an eye, a hole was pierced through the masked man’s forehead.
But this is just the beginning.
“Whoosh!”
Having just pierced through the masked man’s Celestial Halberd, he abruptly turned and drove it through the back of the masked man’s neck.
“Pfft!”
The masked man’s neck also appeared to have a hole.
“Pfft pfft pfft…”
Next, silver-white light flickered constantly.
The masked figure stood still, the holes in its body increasing.
After a dozen seconds, his entire body was pierced through by the Heavenly Firmament Halberd, leaving him riddled with holes.
A normal human would have been dead long ago.
But the masked man’s aura was undiminished.
“Whoosh!”
At this moment, the silver-white light suddenly intensified.
The true form of the Celestial Sky Halberd was revealed at this moment.
“Whoosh!”
The Sky-Piercing Halberd charged once more toward the masked figure.
This time, the masked man finally reacted.
He clasped his hands together in front of him.
“Boom!”
A blue light shield emanated from his body and expanded outward.
The Heavenly Sky Halberd shot straight towards the masked man’s chest.
“Bang!”
In an instant, the shield was pierced by the Heavenly Firmament Halberd!
The Celestial Halberd pierced the masked man’s chest once more, a blinding white light erupting!
An atmosphere of terror, erupted in this instant!
“Boom!”
A loud bang echoed through the room.
The stone bed behind shattered, and Wang Xiaofeng’s corpse, devoid of a soul, exploded directly, limbs flying everywhere.
Su Changge’s body flashed with a faint white light, protecting his flesh and blood but sending him flying out, landing among the rubble.
And the door to the room was blown straight off its hinges.
Those outside the locked room, their faces changed drastically.
They sensed something was amiss inside the room and were about to rush in when the door burst open!
The mystic darted into the secret room.
Seeing the scene before him, the Xuanren’s face instantly turned as dark as night.
The masked man had vanished, leaving behind a pool of spilled blood and scattered limbs.
Su Changge lay well in the deepest part of the ground, those limbs… were obviously Wang Xiaofeng’s.
Before him, only hung a long spear, shimmering silver in mid-air.
At this moment, Xuan Xin’s heart skipped a beat.
His brain reacts quickly.
Seeing this shining silver spear, he knew… he had completely miscalculated.
“Howlwind!”
Elder Wang and Second Elder rushed in, and at once saw a half-head rolling on the ground to the left side of the secret chamber.
That deathly pale face, staring right at them… it was Wang Xiaofeng!
Just five minutes ago, this was a living person!
Now… yet he died so miserably.
The Great Elder and Second Elder’s faces turned ashen.
And Wang Shuangfan, who came rushing in behind him, now had bloodshot eyes.
Why is this happening!? Why!?
The expert looked at the Celestial Holy Halberd floating in front of him with a grave expression.
This spear… its aura is extremely terrifying.
This aura isn’t particularly strong, but it’s extremely dangerous!
His intuition told him… this long spear, possessed the power to kill him!
Someone must be manipulating this spear from behind the scenes!
The mystic gazed at Su Changge’s body lying on the ground behind him.
At this moment, Su Changge’s eyes are tightly closed, motionless, still unconscious.
A trace of doubt flashed in the Xuan Ren’s eyes as he looked again at the Celestial Halberd before him, and said, “You…”
“Bang!”
The Heavenly Conflagration Halberd suddenly moved, causing a sonic boom!
Its target is not the esoteric experts, but the King Family’s Grand Elder and Second Elder in the back!
The distance was too close, and the speed was too fast. Even with their cultivation at the Mahayana realm, they couldn’t react in time.
“Pfft!”
A blood hole appears in the Elder’s heart!
Blood splattered!
The Celestial Sky Halberd pierced through his heart, and immediately charged towards the second elder beside him!
This gave Second Elder the opportunity to activate his protective artifact!
“Whoosh!”
A translucent mirror instantly appeared before him!
But at that moment, the Heaven Piercing Holy Halberd charging towards him suddenly rose upwards.
“Click…”
Mirrored shattering.
The Heavenly Sky Halberd pierced through Elder Two’s skull.
“Bang!”
The Second Elder’s entire head exploded!
Blood, still warm, splattered around.
Wang Shuangfan, standing behind, had his entire face covered in blood.
