Chapter 355: Chapter 193: Chen Xuan Takes Action! The Twisted Child Appears

’What the fuck...’ He was simply at a loss for words.

He watched as Chen Xuan passed through three successive grand formations, then turned back and gestured to Feng Wuji.

Feng Wuji more or less understood the meaning.

Chen Xuan was going in to check things out first.

’This is unacceptable!’

’If anything goes wrong, won’t Chu Shanhe come after me with a vengeance?’

’Even if I’m not afraid of Chu Shanhe, I can’t afford the humiliation!’

’If Chen Xuan gets ambushed, my reputation as second on the Heavenly Ranking will be ruined.’

’After all, I’m personally leading this team. How can I show my face if I can’t even protect my companion?’

So, Feng Wuji quickly began to accelerate his progress through the formations.

He quickly slipped into the second, then headed for the third...

But as he entered the third, he inevitably triggered a faint ripple.

...

「Deep within the darkness.」

The two brothers, Ba Long and Ba She, were sitting cross-legged somewhere, silently monitoring the grand formations. Their eyes flashed in surprise as they sensed the faint ripples.

"Someone snuck in?"

"Interesting. It seems Great Xia has dispatched some real experts. Let’s go take a look!"

The two brothers rose to their feet. In a flash, they transformed into two blurry streaks of gray light, shooting directly toward the area of the Third Layer grand formation.

「At the same time.」

Standing in the deepest part of the area, watching the eruption of black light and the mingling of blood-red light before him, Longevity Sect Leader Tuoba Hong also frowned, sensing it at the same moment.

"Sect Leader Tuoba, it seems someone has infiltrated!"

A figure landed behind him, his brow furrowed.

He hailed from the Northern Barbarians’ Grotto Heaven world, ’Eternal Freeze Peak.’ His name was Wu En, and he had close ties with the Longevity Sect. His power was profound; he was a rare expert even among Outer Saints.

"I know. They triggered the Third Layer grand formation. I set up that formation myself; it can block Dharma Realm experts. A Dharma Realm expert from Great Xia must have snuck in."

Tuoba Hong said.

"A Dharma Realm expert?"

Wu En’s expression shifted behind him. "Could it be the newly promoted Chu Shanhe?"

"Most likely. He’s the only one who could make a move right now. I’ve already sent Ba Long and Ba She of the Burial Ancient Association to intercept them!"

Tuoba Hong said gravely, "But I worry it might not be just one person. To be safe, Wu En, take some experts and conduct a search."

"Of course. But should we activate the dark evil spirits?"

Wu En immediately asked.

"Activate them."

Tuoba Hong’s voice was cold. "At a time like this, it’s better to be overly cautious than to let a single mistake happen!"

"Understood!"

Wu En nodded and turned to leave.

「Back at the Third Layer grand formation.」

Feng Wuji was frustrated. He had barely gotten through when he was intercepted by two immensely powerful masters. Their bodies were completely shrouded in a bizarre darkness, making them blurry and distorted, their features impossible to discern. Yet their strength was exceptionally terrifying.

Feng Wuji exchanged dozens of blows with them at high speed before he finally realized who they were. His eyes turned cold as he said, "The Burial Ancient Association! You’re Ba Long and Ba She of the Burial Ancient Association!"

"Heh heh, Feng Wuji. To think it’s you. What a rarity. We were just saying that the second on the Heavenly Ranking wouldn’t show up. You’ve certainly given us a surprise... If you die here today, it will truly make a name for our Burial Ancient Association!"

"That’s right! A dead Feng Wuji would be of immense value! It would shake the entire world!"

Ba Long and Ba She grinned eerily.

Like two true venomous beasts, one flicked a forked tongue from his mouth with a HISS, while the other’s eyes glinted green. Venom dripped from their bodies, SIZZLING as it corroded space itself.

Feng Wuji’s heart sank.

"Kill me? Even your Association Leader isn’t qualified!"

A cold fury flashed in his heart. He thrust his palm forward, lunging at the two of them with a great RUMBLE.

The Burial Ancient Association was one of the most mysterious organizations in the world.

They were even more bizarre than the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect merely replaced human blood with demon blood, turning people into something neither human nor demon to rapidly increase their power, all in the pursuit of physical immortality.

But the Burial Ancient Association was different.

Their name alone was enough to know how incredibly sinister they were.

Their doctrine was to bury the entire ancient era; they claimed to be the masterminds who had buried the ancient world...

Whether in the Grotto Heavens or the mortal world, very little was known about them.

Feng Wuji had only encountered them before because he had lived for a very long time.

’But to think they’ve actually partnered with the Northern Barbarians.’

Feng Wuji’s heart grew cold. He resolved to kill them both on the spot, or at the very least, severely injure them.

The entire dark region was instantly thrown into turmoil.

All the Northern Barbarian experts gathered there sprang into action, rushing back and forth to swiftly search for any possible human intruders.

At the same time, a large, strange metal case was opened. An even more bizarre darkness surged out from within, forming dense, black tentacles. They carried an aura that caused nausea, retching, and mental confusion as they swept outward, blanketing everything.

The black tentacles multiplied—one became two, two became four—dense and innumerable, like a bizarre, rising tide.

Just a single glance at them was enough to make one feel dizzy and disoriented.

Only by wearing a special item could one resist the dizziness and nausea.

"Go now, search. Let’s see just how many strangers have come here..."

A smile played on Wu En’s face as he watched the dense mass of black tentacles.

They had lured the darkness here; how could they not have a way to subjugate the dark evil spirits that came with it?

WHOOSH...

The black tentacles were all-pervasive, surging in every direction like bizarre leeches.

...

「In another direction.」

Chen Xuan was moving at high speed, his body hidden in the darkness. As he rapidly traversed the area and observed his surroundings, he suddenly sensed a chaotic presence coming from all directions.
