God of Slaughter

Yan Ke and Wen Di kept silent outside the silver city. They didn’t dare to act rashly.

In the crowd, He Man Qing and Qu Yan Qing wanted to call Shi Yan, but they restrained their emotions eventually. Looking at the formations where dangerous energy was rippling, they felt like they were in the two different worlds. He was within their reach, yet they couldn’t touch him.

”We should go,” Yan Ke shook her head eventually. ”It’s not easy to break this city. Perhaps the seven ancient factions know them. When we get the information, it’s not too late to come back.”

Wen Di agreed with her decision. He looked at the silver city for a while then turned around, taking his team to leave the place.

He Man Qing and Qu Yan Qing lagged to the end of the team. Sometimes they turned their heads to look at the silver city, their complexion begrudging.

Yang Tian Emperor’s group exhaled in relief seeing they leaving.

Yan Ke and Wen Di had profound cultivation base, and their warriors were also elite. If they had to fight with them, even if they won, their construction would be delayed. This wasn’t what they wanted to see.

Right after Yan Ke and Wen Di left, Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui came to the silver city from the lake. The two of them had the True God Realm cultivation base now.

Shi Yan was joyful as he got to know that the two women had broken through a new realm. He then started to arrange for Yi Tian Mo and Yu Ruo.

Ye Chang Feng stayed in that lake because only the heaven flames could open the formation sealing the lake. After Yi Tian Mo and Yu Rou got there, he would return to the city, using his Purgatory True Flame to help Shi Yan refine the city.

Everything got back to its neat order. And, Shi Yan was still busy as ever.

…

The Ice and Fire Secret Domain…

Inside an ice stone building, three Third Sky of Spirit Realm were guarding a secret chamber. Today, Xia Qing Hou came to the chamber. After the three warriors gave him the signal, he was allowed to get in.

Thick spiritual Qi drifted in the air, bobbing like clusters of cloud inside the chamber. Xia Xin Yan was sitting on a massive jade cushion. The dazzling light was twirling around her.

She recognized the visitor while cultivating. She opened her eyes, as beautiful as stars in the sky, and smiled at him. ”Great Grandpa, why do you come here?”

Xia Qing Hou watched here and there. He pondered for a while, then said, ”Little Yan, Shi Yan’s in the Perpetual Night Forest.”

Xia Xin Yan’s bright eyes twinkled. ”Where’s he? Has he arrived in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain yet?”

Shaking his head, Xia Qing Hou’s eyes were complicated. ”He stays in the Perpetual Night Forest. He refused to go to the Ice and Fire Secret Domain. Yun Hao, the master of the Radiant God Cult, invited him many times, but he rejected his invitation. He wants to befriend the alien tribes.”

Xia Xin Yan frowned, ”He’s always like that. What? Is he in danger?”

”The seven ancient factions want to kill him.” Xia Qing Hou struggled in his head for a while. Eventually, he decided to tell the truth. ”The seven ancient factions have a big resentment with the alien tribes. Anybody who joins the alien tribes will be treated as a traitor. At this moment, besides the Radiant God Cult and the Fighting Union, the other five forces are prepared. Soon, they will kill Shi Yan and the Yang family. I… I don’t want to conceal things from you. But, I don’t want you to get involved either.”

Xia Xin Yan suddenly shot up, as anger filled her jade-like face. ”Great Grandpa, didn’t you send messages to him and ask him to be careful?”

”No, I didn’t. I didn’t take that risk. For the Xia family, I don’t want to reveal any weakness the others could use to threaten us. Once someone finds it, not only the Xia family would be in danger, but your future would also be affected. You will be the leader of the Pure Land in the future, the hope of humankind. I don’t want you to get involved in this mess.” Xia Qing Hou sighed begrudgingly. ”You should give up that relationship. The Yang family is besotted. It’s their choice that they want to be with the alien tribes. We can’t force them to follow us. At most, we shouldn’t join the operation.”

”Great Grandpa!” Xia Xin Yan was enraged. ”Without Shi Yan, you would have never regained your sanity, and the Xia family would have no chance to visit the Divine Great Land. Even me, it would have been impossible to break through the True God Realm that fast. He didn’t regret giving you and me the Life Original Fluid. People should be thankful and repay the favors they have received. How could you behave like that?”

”I have no choice. For the Xia family, for your future, I could do nothing.” Xia Qing Hou didn’t seem to be regretful, his face resolute. ”Little Yan, although Shi Yan isn’t ordinary, he has chosen the opposite way. When he made his decision, he should have expected what would happen. However, he still chose that way. A man like him is very dangerous. He wouldn’t resist for long in this life.”

”I don’t dare to agree with your assessment.” Xia Xin Yan felt a big shame struck her heart. She looked at her great grandpa with a solemn face. ”I have to go out!”

”Not allowed!” The freaky child-like voice of Lin Meng arose from outside. After a while, she got into the secret chamber. She glared at Xia Qing Hou. ”You should get out first.”

Xia Qing Hou bent to greet her, then left.

”Teacher, why?” Xia Xin Yan talked with a solemn countenance. ”Why do you have to target Shi Yan? Because of me?”

”Yes,” Lin Meng nodded without any hesitation. ”His existence will affect your progress. To women, love is the biggest Mara in their hearts, especially to warriors who are wholeheartedly dedicated to the cultivation. As long as he’s still alive, he’s always a door leading to death in your heart. He will affect the whole life of yours!”

”Teacher, is it true that you have never been in love with any man?” Xia Qing Hou asked as if she weren’t afraid of this woman.

”I have, but I killed him myself. That’s why I don’t have any knots in my heart,” Lin Meng answered faintly.

Xia Xin Yan was frightened.

”I want the best things for you. In the future, you will surpass me and become the true leader of our Human Clan. You have to clean up Shi Yan, your Mara. If you can’t, as your teacher, I’m responsible for helping you!” Lin Meng said in a low tone.

”No need!” Xia Qing Hou was persistent. ”I don’t want you to control everything of mine. I’m not your puppet!”

”Everything I do is for you. No matter you want it or not, as long as it benefits you, I will do anything.” Lin Meng snorted, ”I allowed your Great Grandpa to tell you everything is to show you that your teacher has never deceived you. Even if you want to hate me, I want to give you a clear reason for your hatred.”

Then, Lin Meng’s figure faded out until she disappeared completely from the secret chamber.

”Observe her. When you detect something abnormal, report me to immediately.” Lin Meng advised the three guards outside the chamber.

”You think it’s not good?” One of them asked.

”It’s alright. She will feel hurt for a while. But she will get rid of it soon,” Lin Meng coldly said.

”She… She will hate you.”

”Then let her hate me. If she makes me her target to kill, I will be more joyful. In this special stage, she needs strong treatment! I always force her to cultivate. However, her motivation is not strong enough. If she makes killing me her purpose, she will try her best. That’s what I want to see.”

…

Outside the Perpetual Night Forest…

Many members of the Ghost Mark Clan were floating in the air. Comoros was holding Yin Written Charm Scripture in his hands with his dark face, using his Soul Consciousness to move it, making it more disorderly.

This group of Ghost Mark Clan was waiting for something.

After a long time, a light dot appeared in the sky from the left of the Ghost Mark Clan. It enlarged into the dead souls’ evil lair. Clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan strolled out from their lair. There was no emotion in their eyes.

A long time after the dead souls’ evil lair arrived, they saw a Dark Spirit Clan member walked out of the cave.

Ivison, who had joined hands with Comoros, and the other three members of the Dark Spirit Clan bent their bodies with great respect when they saw that man.

That clansman of the Dark Spirit Clan had empty eyes. Thick dead aura diffused from him, as if he had just come from the space of death. As soon as he arrived, everybody seemed to cease to be.

”Master, the Ghost Mark Clan got here before us.” Ivison stooped and said in a low tone.

The member of the Dark Spirit Clan, who appeared the last, just nodded, but he didn’t say anything. All clansmen of the Dark Spirit Clan stood silently, as if they were the wooden rooters. No one dared to utter a word.

After a while, a five-colored banner appeared on the horizon. That banner was moving rapidly, carrying many members of the Dark Clan standing upright on the banner.

The three Yama Kings Abi, Hades, and Hei Tian, who used to stir up the entire Endless Sea, stood in a triangle. A dark blue light appeared in their midst with many shades of light, such that people couldn’t see the thing inside clearly. Vaguely, they could see something moving in there.

The three Yama Kings seemed to consider the thing in that dim blue halo their master. When they had just arrived, they immediately reported to that blue halo. They sometimes pointed to the place where the Dark Spirit Clan and the Ghost Mark Clan were gathering.

Crack Crack Crack!

Sometimes, they could hear the cracking sounds of bones rubbing against each other underground. Not long after that, the ground under their feet cracked into a big, deep abyss.

Right after that, many coffins emerged from the ground. Members of the Corpse Clan got out directly from earth one by one. Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were protecting a massive coffin standing in the middle of the Corpse Clan’s crowd, which looked very special.

”Corpse Chief, you’re late.” The member of the Dark Spirit Clan, who appeared the last, said in a feeble tone. His voice was mournful and sad like a resentful spirit crying in people’s ears.

”I’m not the one who comes the last. Someone is even later than me.” A sharp voice that sounded like sword slashing on a stone echoed from the coffin that Corpse Mount and Corpse Sea were protecting. It was quite unpleasant to the ears.

At the same time, giant beasts appeared from the North and the East. Experts of the Demon Clan were riding those beasts.

They were the two different forces of the Demon Clan. One of them was the Ancient Bao family that Shi Yan had met before. Bao Ao was their leader.

The other force was also strong, no less than Bao Ao’s. It was the Ancient Jie family of the Demon Clan, led by Jie Jie. This man had a lozenge mark on his forehead. Strange energy rippled from it, which could shake souls.

Bao Ao and Jie Jie came from the strongest ancient families of the Demon Clan. They had come from Demon Clan’s spaces outside the Grace Mainland. At the same time, the two leaders were also rivals. They had always battled to unite the Demon Clan.

Bao Ao and Jie Ji took several thousand elite warriors of the clan, riding on demonic beasts. Their force was so strong that they could press the other alien tribes. They had arrived the last, as if they were so certain about their leading role.

Dark Clan, Corpse Clan, Dark Spirit Clan, and Ghost Mark Clan were the five great alien tribes on the Divine Great Land at this moment. They all showed up outside the Perpetual Night Forest as per the appointment made beforehand.
