Divine Brilliance

Gong Xinran hadn’t make a sound since the start, only until now did her body move slightly.

Gao Yi’s smile became weirder and weirder, “What should I do now? I’m not a liar. That’s right, I nearly forgot that I had this treasure on me. Xinran, when you were at Linhai College, you read so many books. Have you heard of the artifact training technique of the Demon Spirit Sect during the Desolate Era? Instilling the vengeful souls of the dead into the artifact, turning into a demonic spirit, can help make it into a Spiritual Artifact. My Seven Immortal Loop is still lacking one more demonic spirit. Your current state is the best material. You are a spirit master with strong soul power, you also hate me to the bone. If you become the artifact spirit and followed beside me, wouldn’t we be together our entire life, not leaving and abandoning one another?”

When his words landed, Gong Xinran’s body had already became totally quiet.

Zong Shou’s chest was similarly filled with sadness, no rage in his gaze, quietly looking on from the side. The cold intent in his eyes was like a sharp knife, however.

Just as Gao Yi was speaking, he suddenly heard a ringing sound outside of the mountain. He couldn’t help, but give a look of surprise, “So Old Mi senior has come. He is at the Xiantian Realm, so why did he take the risk to come here?”

Grumbling slightly from the surprise, Gao Yi casually took out a bracelet, throwing it to Qi Nu at the side.

“This woman has some relationship with me, and it isn’t appropriate for me to do it myself. Qi Nu, you learned some soul binding techniques. Help me bind her soul and bring her down the mountain. If anything goes wrong, I won’t let you off lightly.”

That voice was so cold that it could freeze one’s bones, and was followed by a long laugh. “If you are willing, you all can torture her. Although her looks are a little bad, her body is not! I know that you all have secretly learned techniques to steal yin energy to strengthen your body by sleeping with women, you all can go ahead and use those techniques. The more pain she feels, the more hatred she will feel, the quality of the demonic spirit would also be better. As for how good my Seven Immortal Loop will be in the future it would depend on all of you. But remember you all have to come down before midnight…”

The eyes of Qi Nu and the others immediately lit up, and the way they looked towards Gong Xinran also became much weirder.

Zong Shou, on the other hand stopped on the branch, coldly looking at the departing Gao Yi. His wings shook once more, and he took wing once again.

Lightning glow slightly shining, one breath and he was already a hundred thousand feet away.

——

Returning back to the cave, as he neared to his body, that feeling of weakness and exhaustion totally disappeared.

However, he still charged into his soul ocean and back into his body. When he opened his eyes, Zong Shou swung his fists hard, right into the ground. The enormous strength actually totally destroyed the rock below him.

His anger slightly vented, Zong Shou jumped up quick as lightning and ran towards the outside. Little Gold, which was still eating the Lightning Phoenix egg, was suddenly at a loss.

Hesitating slightly, it crushed the remaining eggshell into pieces, using its body to wrap it all up, and then jumped onto Zong Shou’s shoulder.

Chuxue also didn’t know what was going on, but using a light body technique she followed closely behind. The more she followed, the more alarmed she was.

Who knew the reason, but the aura that Zong Shou gave off was even scarier than those Grade Six beasts that she saw in the past.

In her memory, not only was Zhao Yanran far weaker, even Lei Dong was!

It wasn’t that their strength wasn’t comparable, but it was the dangerous aura that made one’s heart go cold. It was like a snake that had awakened from winter, having a strong desire to consume people. It made one subconsciously afraid.

At the start Zong Shou was still using the Wind Travelling Spiritual Bone to walk. After a short moment he felt impatient and tossed it aside, using his body to jump forwards.

A lightning glow flashed beneath his legs and his body gave out lightning crackles, directly crossing through the giant ravine with lightning-quick speed, charging through the dense forest within the Demon Corpse Mountain.

Vital Energy was rumbling within his chest, his dual meridians were starting to clash and the Xiantian true qi that had stabilized started running rampant once again. Even all the bones within his body were giving out creaking sounds under such high speed.

It was like Zong Shou didn’t hear anything, his eyes were as cold as that cold spring. His brain had no other thought, his legs didn’t stop at all as he kept on increasing his speed, going faster and faster!

Chuxue following behind was dumbfounded once more. She had managed to slowly catch up to Zong Shou, but in another instant he was far ahead of her.

It was like a rampant wind was blowing through the forest. She was stunned. Such a speed afoot was something she only saw from those at the ancestor level

That day when Zong Shou sparred with Zhao Yanran, that speed was unbelievably quick… and wasn’t worth a mention now. What kind of body movement technique was this, which was actually so fast?

Her doubts were tossed aside once more. There was another thought in her mind: what matter had made Zong Shou so furious?

In these last few months, be it the humiliation from Liang Miaozi on Pill Spirit Mountain, or being forcing by Zhao Yanran to spar sword with her, Zong Shou had always been calm and composed.

The current Young Master was something she had never seen before.

Walking forty thousand feet up the cliffy mountain. If it was a normal occasion, it would take many hours.

However, Zong Shou used less than ten minutes and was able to rush to that evil peach tree forest.

The clothes on his body were drenched in sweat, his stamina was basically nearly exhausted. His bone were showing slight cracks and the energy within his chest was really chaotic, his internal injuries heavy. The Wind Travelling Spiritual Bone he carried was totally destroyed now.

Zong Shou was lazy to bother, slightly panting as he continued onwards.

He could laugh as people beside him died, and he could also claim lives on his path to the top.

Even if his hands were soaked in blood and he killed numerous people, he didn’t care at all! Only this time, he had to do something!

He could only hope that he was able to arrive in time.

Trying his best to stop in a few dozen steps, the scene he saw using the Lightning Phoenix body once again appeared in his eyes.

Gong Xinran was still pinned onto that peach tree, Qi Nu was standing at the side and drawing talismans. The remaining few men were watching around him.

However at this moment they all looked over in astonishment.

Zong Shou could only feel his heart relax, his body on the verge of falling and nearly collapsing to the ground. He forcibly supported himself to stand up, slowly walking towards the few of them.

Seeing the situation, Qi Nu was slightly astonished, but then shook his head, “Isn’t this the Gantian Mountain Prince? Why haven’t you gone down the mountain, have you been following behind? Let me guess, Zong Shou likes this woman? You rushed over so anxiously to save her?”

Gong Xinran also raised her head, looking over in shock. The consciousness in her eyes slowly awakened and was slowly filled with panic and also a bit of self blame. She said angrily, “Junior brother, what are you doing here? Why haven’t you gone back! You are the Gantian Mountain Prince, they won’t dare to make things hard for you. Listen to senior sister, your meridians can’t open and you can’t form your soul ocean, there’s nothing you can do about them…”

“Go back?”

Qi Nu couldn’t help but laugh, “We can’t do that. If he didn’t know anything, we could let him leave. But since he saw everything, we need Young Master Yi to deal with it. Although the Monster King has most likely fallen, his identity is special and we have to be careful!”

Gong Xinran was startled, following which Qi Nu gave out an evil laugh, “Oh yes, prince, if you really like her, we can fulfil your wish. Actually the few of us aren’t interested in this woman…”

As he was halfway through his words, he suddenly paused. Zong Shou was looking over expressionlessly, in his ice cold gaze, it was filled with disdain. His handsome face held a never-before-seen wild and uninhibited savagery.

A shadow blurred and a hand like an iron clamp suddenly grabbed onto his neck.

It clenched, and blood instantly burst forth, shooting out in all directions!
