Book 3: Chapter 19: Single Invader

In the Liang Province area, there was an uninhabited wilderness with hundreds of miles of prescriptions, reed bushes which were as high as a person, swamps and rivers with dangerous creatures like snakes, crocodiles, and even dragonic serpents. No normal human would come to this place.

But here was the location of the next “jump” of the ancient city, according to the speculation of Xuan Fa Academy.

If the ancient city really appeared in a place where there was no inhabitant in a hundred miles, it would prove Bai Qiuran’s speculation that the purpose of this ancient city’s continuous movement was not to capture human but to form a formation.

Bai Qiuran came here one day earlier, hiding in the designated place, waiting for the arrival of the ancient city, while other people were waiting tens of miles away to avoid being affected by the bell sound.

Finding a dry place in a thick reed bush, Bai Qiuran sat down and quietly condensed the Qi in his body, trying to form the true Qi to kill the boring time. The sun went up and down, and the day passed quickly. Bai Qiuran’s attempt was still unsuccessful. A thick fog silently appeared and enveloped him.

Sighing helplessly, he continued to suppress the impulse to break through, then stood up and walked towards the dense fog. The fog in front of him seemed to be dreamy and unpredictable. Deep inside it, he saw the ancient city appeared silently in the dense fog.

“It seems we guessed right.”

Looking up at the closed gate tower in front of him, Bai Qiuran thought for a moment and raised his hand.

Unmatched Qi began to converge on his palms, prepare to strike. Seeming to be able to sense the danger, the gates of the ancient city suddenly opened inward at a rapid speed, and then, the bell sounded in a rapid rhythm.

Beeng, Beeng, Beeng…

The bell sound went into his ears, and the entrapped mental attack strangely and trickly attacked Bai Qiuran’s consciousness, but Bai Qiuran condensed his consciousness and formed an indestructible fortress. The mental attack hit his mental defense and dispelled without the slightest effect.

He probably wanted to measure the intensity of these mental attacks. Having preparations in advance, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would not be affected by it, but if he was in a fierce battle, this bell sound would indeed become very annoying harassment even for the Deity Transformation stage.

Bai Qiuran stepped forward, his hands were still full of energy, and then took a palm shot in the direction of the ancient city gate.

The unmatched Qi turned into a huge golden palm imprint and flew towards the gate of the city. The darkness in the gate surging. A group of dark monsters came out and used their own body as a shield to block the front of the palm print.

But there was no effect. The palm rolled over like a bulldozer, crushing the darkness in the city gate like a broken bamboo.

The invisible shock wave spread, the reeds were pushed down in all directions, the ground swelled like a wave, and the darkness at the gate also dispersed for a moment, allowing Bai Qiuran to peek inside.

Inside the city gate, there was a stone avenue. On both sides of the avenue are two rows of dragon-headed lion-shaped beasts. In the eyes of the beasts are several runes that Bai Qiuran has never seen before.

The darkness around it seemed to be surging like a tide, covering the scene in the city again, but Bai Qiuran had written down the shape of the few runes he saw. In the next moment, a roar was heard in the darkness. Ten monsters with long horns above their heads rode on weird black flying swords, flew up from the ancient city, and attacked Bai Qiuran.

These monsters should be the disciples of Sky-Forging Castle who were missing, but at the moment, under the control of some kind of mysterious will, they launched strange moves that did not belong to Sky-Forging Castle, some had never even been seen in the cultivation word.

The swords flew in disorder, and the sword beams they emitted were turned into black straight lines, interlaced in the air, reflecting dazzling light and making attacks. Dozens of sword beams drilled from all directions, even into the soil, and attacked Bai Qiuran at the same time. But Bai Qiuran simply raised his hands, moved so fast that it turned into a phantom image, and blocked these sword beams without exception.

These black sword beams with terrible power were flicked away by Bai Qiuran’s hands, some fell to the ground, and cut a dozen cracks into the ground, and some flew into the distance, cut some nearby hills and explode them.

But Bai Qiuran, who received these attacks, noticed something strange.

The attack is at the level of peak Deity Transformation stage… I remember that many of these disciples were in the Nascent Soul stage, and there were even several peaks in the Nascent Soul stage.

Bai Qiuran thought about it.

According to the information obtained from the video data, after the reconstruction of the city, Golden Core disciples were transformed into dark monsters comparable to the Deity Transformation stage. According to this speculation, the Nascent Soul disciples should be one level stronger, became the Physique Integration stage.

But now it seemed that this terrible infection really had its limits.

So what about Yue Qianren…

Bai Qiuran made up his mind, his figure moved instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of one of the black monsters, stretched his hand to grab his neck, and then raised his hand to his head.

The turbulent palm power was completely controlled by Bai Qiuran’s amazing self-control ability, which stripped all the black energy covering the monster, but did not hurt the individuals inside. The dark monster’s shell looks like mud blown away by the hurricane, exposing the possessed individual.

After the dark shell was stripped, the exposed person was indeed a disciple in the uniform of Sky-Forging Castle, but he was still unconscious even though Bai Qiuran did not hurt him.

Bai Qiuran reached out and touched his nostril, found that he didn’t breathe, and then dived into his Spiritual Platform and Purple Palace. Both places were empty, and he saw neither this cultivator’s Deity Soul nor true Qi.

“His soul is gone?”

Bai Qiuran threw the Sky-Forging Castle disciples in his hand to the ground.

Dozens of surrounding monsters surrounded it again, and the sword beams changed again, puncturing Bai Qiuran’s body at a more tricky angle.

Seeing this, Bai Qiuran also slowly raised his palm.

The souls of these possessed people have dissipated, which was really not good news for them, but it also meant that at this moment, Bai Qiuran could attack without any care.

The unimaginable outburst of Qi turned into a mad tide. The black sword light blasted out was directly blown back by this energy storm, and the surrounding dark monsters were instantly stirred into fragments. During the storm, Bai Qiuran began to charge towards the ancient city.

Sensing a terrible threat, the ancient city began to fight back with all its strength. The bells in the city slammed faster, and countless dark monsters of the Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage, and even the Deity Transformation stage also appeared in the darkness, but none of those could stop Bai Qiuran.

He ran all the way, looking down from the sky, just like a ship was going up against the black current, and opened a wide road in the middle of the tide, all the way into the darkness of the ancient city.

Crossing the city gate, his Qi blasted away the dark energy around him. Bai Qiuran walked all the way down the stone avenue, and then he stopped at the second city gate in the ancient city.

Above the gate tower, a beam extended, and a man was hung upside down on the gate tower, his face covered with blood.

Bai Qiuran recognized the identity of this man: Yue Qianren.
