Divine Brilliance - Chapter 585
Chapter 585: Just Kill Them!
“Ruoshui? How did she enter?”
A bad feeling rose in Zong Shou’s heart, nothing would happen to Ruoshui, right?
He also found it weird. The restrictions here even caused Zhao Yanran to stop. Ruoshui was only Grade-Seven and her spiritual cultivation was weaker than Zhao Yanran, so how was she able to enter?
“It should be a bloodline special ability!”
Zhao Yanran’s brow furrowed and she started to recall, “At the start she was similar to me, being stuck not far from here. Coincidentally Jueyu passed by and for some reason, he disappeared. Shameless and formless, there were no signs of him. He probably used an invisibility technique to follow Wuxuan in…”
Zong Shou’s brows rose, thinking to himself that Ruoshui wasn’t a reckless person.
Why did she take such a risk this time?
“So apart from Jueyu, who else entered from here?”
“My luck was good and I reached here two days ago. As for those I saw, there was Yuan Wushang and Li Wuhui. As for that Feng Taiji and Wuxuan Xiangzi, etc they all passed. There were also many whose names I don’t remember. I originally wanted to wait for Leidong to rush over and let him bring me in. In the end, for some reason, he still hadn’t arrived here. Also, who knows where that Jingyin went…”
Zong Shou didn’t bother much about Zhao Yanran’s complains. When he heard those few names, his heart jumped. The bad feeling got thicker and thicker.
An eagerness rose in his chest, like if he delayed even a single moment, then something might happen that might cause him to regret for the rest of his entire life.
He had no more mind to speak, sweeping his sleeves and holding up Zhao Yanran.
With a thought that Dragon Pattern Sword was already in his hand, he didn’t bother about anything as he struck forwards!
In that instance, they flashed ten thousand feet, triggering numerous restrictions, causing millions of black blades to strike over.
Just as Zhao Yanran was about to panic and thought that Zong Shou was crazy, a green sword-light spread out. Millions of sword shadows charged out like that of a sword wave.
In that instance, a million swords were gathered a hundred feet above the two of them.
Where the blade light pointed to instantly smashed all the restrictions.
They travelled through this space with crazy speed, like a hot knife through butter; thousand miles in an instance!
As time when on, a thread of blood seeped out at the corner of Zong Shou’s lips.
However, that sword attack showed no signs of weakening, instead, it became more intense and sharp. It was as though it had unlimited power, continuously seeping out. The sword shadow was only a hundred feet but it could pretty much cover the sky!
His gaze was cold as ice. Right now, anything blocking him, not to mention these restrictions, even if it were Gods and Buddhas he would smash them all!
A cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips. If something bad really happened to Ruoshui, whether it was Yuan Wushang or Feng Taiji in the Xiang King tomb, everyone will be buried together with her!
※※※※
In the dark stone cave with no light, Ruoshui silently strolled along the tunnels.
She was like a black shadow using the darkness and Yin power as cover; like fish to water, there were no signs of her.
She had already searched for nearly a day in this tomb and had roughly understood the geography of the area.
The cave here was extremely huge with hundreds of branches, stretching north to south for seventeen hundred miles. They were all interconnected, forming an enormous maze.
It was said that the Xiang King tomb was here but who knows where it was hidden at. Anyways, she couldn’t find any traces of it.
The restrictions here for some reason destroyed most places. As if some sort of power at the depths of the cave was slowly destroying them bit by bit during these ten thousand years.
Which was why most of the time she didn’t need to pay much attention.
However, Ruoshui knew that she still needed to be careful. There were many experts all around here, especially at the core area of the cave. There were at least forty Grade-Nine cultivators.
Amongst them were some of the top cultivators in the Cloud World. Like Jueyu and Yuan Wushang. Also, there was Feng Taiji and Wuxuan…
This was why she couldn’t be careless, even a single bit. During that day she could only stay far away and search at the outer areas.
Originally with her personality, she would be more willing to lay on the young master’s bed and take a good sleep than take such a risk.
However, a few days ago she heard Xuanyuan Yiren talk about how young master went through something and he didn’t have much lifespan left…
After entering the Yin Dragon Canyon, she also coincidentally heard two Taoist Grade Eight cultivators talk about the Xiang King tomb, the information about the Extreme Purple Pill.
However, for some reason, Zong Shou was still not here so it was all up to her. She might not be able to get it but she still had to give it a try.
Tightly leaning on the stone wall and travelling along with it, Ruoshui walked whilst feeling her way around.
The Yin power and vengeful energy were much thicker than the outside. The restrictions here also had illusionary and charming ability. Most of the time, her five senses and spiritual sense were useless and she could only rely on her touch.
Suddenly a weird sensation spread out from her fingertips. The rock she touched, although it was still hard and cold, wasn’t so tough anymore. She could feel that something was flowing behind.
She could hear some empty sounds behind.
Ruoshui was startled. In Fengshui, they often talked about blessed lands and unlucky areas.
However today within this cave, what Fengshui studies say is a decent place, there were already many Grade Nine cultivators.
Ruoshui knew she didn’t have the ability to compete with these people which was why she came to such an area to search. Even if she knew that her chances of succeeding were really low.
…At this moment what was beside her was a definite dangerous land! She wasn’t good at Fengshui but she knew the Yin power and vengeful energy here was much thicker than elsewhere by several times!
She stopped, thought about it for a moment before she continued to search the nearby area.
In just a moment she had her deduction, that it was a space behind the walls.
She carefully took several pills, and after mixing it she rubbed it on the stone wall.
When she used spiritual techniques to summon a ball of liquid and scatter it over, rumbling noise and piercing white smoke appeared.
When Ruoshui took out her Spiritual Artifact dagger and started cutting. What was firm where even magical weapons couldn’t make a dent, it was now really soft which she easily brushed open.
In just a few cuts, the stone wall was dug open by her.
She was even more wary now, walking in trepidation. What she first saw was the stone coffin at the center of the vast tomb.
It was half-opened, making her feel shocked. Then she heaved a sigh of relief. Inside was a set of golden silk clothing as well as a large halberd and bow.
This should be the sub tomb of the Xiang King where his clothes were buried.
Looking around, Ruoshui’s eyes were filled with joy.
Although it was a sub tomb, there were many items too.
She opened the most precious boxes, only to see that they were all normal items, either armor or some jewels and jade.
Her brows couldn’t help but furrow. An emperor that once unified Donglin was said to be invincible, was only buried with this bid of items? Even if it was a sub tomb it was still such a letdown.
Until she opened one of the small boxes, did her eyes light up.
A fragrance struck her, a purple color. After it appeared, the room instantly glowed. Thus Yin power and vengeful energy were separated a hundred feet.
The size of a dragon eye in a row of three. It looked like it had a spirit and wanted to break free from her arms.
Was this the Extreme Purple Pill?
Her eyes lit up with joy and she knew that it was definitely that!
One of them was said to be able to extend lifespan by thirty years. If three were added together, then would her Ruler more or less live another sixty years?
Then there would be no danger anymore. With Zong Shou’s talents, he would be able to break through the barriers from Heaven and enter the Spirit Realm! His lifespan will increase by a thousand years…
She wouldn’t let down the responsibility the ex ruler gave her…
Her lips curled up. Just as she was about to keep it into her Heaven and Earth bag, a vast wind struck over!
“Let go! This Heaven and Earth spiritual item has its master! How is it something a maid like you can crave?”
Ruoshui’s expression changed, she didn’t turn around her head and just stabbed out.
The sword in her hand smashed into pieces with a loud crash.
Ruoshui was knocked back. Along the way, all the boxes of weapons were all broken into pieces, drawing several shallow marks on the ground. She smacked onto the stone pillar before stopping.
Ruoshui felt really dizzy. The moment it faded, she felt that she was nearly about to lose senses of her limbs. It felt like her body was being sliced; extremely painful.
That voice exclaimed, following which he scoffed coldly.
“Bitch! You actually have a bit of skill!”
From the dust, a person appeared. It was Xiao Xiangzi who stepped on a banana leaf and slowly flew over.
His left hand opened and spiritual energy gathered once more as she grabbed down.
Someone beside him laughed out loud, “What good luck. Unable to find the main tomb but being able to find something good in this sub tomb. Brother Xiao, the person who witnesses have a share. you can’t swallow all the benefits yourself!”
When that voice rang out, Xiao Xiangzi’s eyes constricted. That giant palm didn’t stop as it grabbed towards Ruoshui’s pills.
Ruoshui’s eyes were opened wide, her six fox tails were spread open as a dagger stabbed forwards.
With a loud explosion, the entire stone room shook.
Ruoshui instantly spat out blood from her mouth. Her internal organs were pretty much being shaken into pieces!
Xiao Xiangzi was startled as he looked towards Ruoshui. He originally didn’t want to harm her life and just wanted to take the items. However, he wasn’t filled with killing intent.
Only what he saw was that her gaze was deathly silence, like she was using her gaze to tell him that she wouldn’t let go, even if she died.
Wuxuan laughed out loud, “Cultivator Xiao, so you are such a soft and merciful person! Since she doesn’t know her place then just kill her…”
A palm smacked out, wind charging and slapping over like that of a mountain.
