Celestial 'War God' Return

Chapter 406: Fake Mission

Shangguan Qingyue’s eyes lit up as soon as she saw Mu Qingge and the others. She quickly strode toward them, but her head suddenly slammed into invisible walls.

"Damn it! Why is there a wall here?" Shangguan Qingyue rubbed her forehead while her other hand tried to touch the invisible walls in front of her.

Inside the void walls, Su Xiulan and Situ Lingxi were confused when they saw Shangguan Qingyue’s reaction. They could see her in pain, but they couldn’t hear her voice.

"Is this your husband’s technique, Qingge?"

Mu Qingge nodded slightly, but she did not tell Situ Lingxi the truth. "My husband has the space element, and this invisible wall is his technique."

"The space element!" Situ Lingxi exclaimed in shock. "In my entire life, I have only met three possessors of the space element, and one of them was my aunt. If your husband truly possesses that element, his status in the Nine Profound Sect should be extraordinary, so I’m not surprised that Senior Huangfu recruited him himself."

Mo Qingge was slightly surprised to hear that; she hadn’t expected Situ Lingshan to possess the space element. "Since we can’t go out, we have to wait for my husband to come back."

"Yes," Situ Lingxi agreed with her.

Shangguan Qingyue looked at Mu Qingge, Su Xiulan, and Situ Lingxi. She tried to speak to them, but she realized that they couldn’t hear her.

"Young Miss Situ!" Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan screamed as soon as they saw Situ Lingxi, and they walked to Shangguan Qingyue’s side.

"Stop!" Shangguan Qingyue stopped them. "Don’t move any further, or you’ll both crash into invisible walls.

"Invisible walls?" Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan were confused, but Shangguan Qingyue signaled them to try touching the area in front of them. They immediately did so, and their expressions turned to shock as they touched the invisible wall.

"Who created this invisible wall?"

"Could that person use the space element?"

"I don’t know," Shangguan Qingyue answered with a shake of her head, but she also suspected that the invisible wall was the result of the space element. She noticed that Tang Xiao and Chen Hongde were not with the three women. ’Could it be that Feng Xiao created this wall to protect them?’

*Plop*

Shao Yuyan fell on her buttocks and tried to catch her breath. "Oh, gosh! Those wild beasts are really powerful! Luckily, we managed to escape from them; otherwise, we would have been eaten to death by them."

"Haha," Ming Ren laughed softly and offered a pill to Shao Yuyan. "Swallow it, Yuyan. Your qi will recover quickly, so we’ll be ready to fight again."

"Thank you, Brother Ren." Shao Yuyan immediately took the pill and rested. She looked into the void wall, but she was confused because Sui Weitian wasn’t with Situ Lingxi. "Who are the other two women?"

"They are the core disciples of the Nine Profound Sect, Su Xiulan and Mu Qingge." Shangguan Qingyue tried to send a voice message to the three women to no avail. "Sigh! I should rest first while waiting for that person to come back."

"That person?"

Shangguan Qingyue nodded to Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan. "If I’m not mistaken, the person who created this invisible wall should be Feng Xiao, another disciple of the Nine Profound Sect."

Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan exchanged shocked glances. They didn’t expect the Nine Profound Sect to have a disciple with the space element.

"Who is Feng Xiao, Sister Qingyue?"

"He’s a new disciple who just joined some time ago." Shangguan Qingyue sat beside Shao Yuyan. "Actually, Feng Xiao is part of my group along with the two women besides Situ Lingxi."

Shao Yuyan nodded in understanding. "I find it strange that Sun Weitian is not by Young Miss Situ’s side; they are usually inseparable."

"Let’s not talk about that bastard." Shangguan Qingyue took a pill and swallowed it, but she frowned as several other cultivators arrived in the area. Their appearances were disheveled, and some of them had serious injuries.

Ming Ren looked towards those people. "Did they encounter powerful beasts earlier?"

"It could happen." Shangguan Qingyue nodded. "The members of your two clans haven’t reached this place yet."

Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan were also worried about the members of their two clans, but they knew that their clansmen were strong, and they believed that those people could protect themselves from the attacks of those wild beasts.

For some time, people kept coming to the area, but many of them suffered from minor or major injuries.

Situ Lingxi’s two bodyguards also managed to reach the place, but they were shocked when they found her inside the void walls. They tried to destroy those walls, but she signaled them not to throw away their calm and focus on restoring their qi.

Since Situ Lingxi insisted, the two men didn’t try to free her, and they sat right in front of the void walls to rest while watching the people.

Meanwhile, Tang Xiao and Chen Hongde had almost reached their destination area, but they hurriedly stopped in their tracks.

"Can you sense it, Junior Brother Feng? This aura is coming from that cave, and it clearly belongs to a powerful beast."

"You’re right, Senior Brother Chen."

Tang Xiao opened the map, and it was no longer obstructed by anything, allowing him to examine the cave not far from them. He raised an eyebrow when he found the names of many cultivators in it, one of which was Sun Weitian’s name.

Tang Xiao took a deep breath when he found the female spider beast. "Senior Brother, this mission seems to be a trap; I can’t find any items in there."

"Are you serious about that?"

"I’m dead serious." Tang Xiao nodded with a grim look. "There is a powerful female spider beast in there, and her cultivation is at the Peak Tyrant Level."

"Damn it! The Peak Tyrant Level!" Chen Hongde exclaimed softly. "If it’s really a trap, then who distributed the mission to the sects?"

Tang Xiao shook his head. "The female spider beast probably has connections with people outside, and they deliberately distributed the mission to the sects to lure other cultivators here for her. By the way, Sun Weitian is in the cave, and that female spider beast seems to be having fun with him."

"Pfft—" Chen Hongde swiftly covered his mouth to stifle his laughter. He almost laughed out loud imagining Sun Weitian’s expression. "That’s hilarious! That guy often has fun with many women out there, and he has no shame in stealing other people’s lovers or wives. In the end, he has to endure the karma of his evil deeds, and the female spider beast uses him for her fun."

Tang Xiao didn’t comment on that matter because he didn’t have any direct problems with Sun Weitian yet. "Apart from him, I found many people in the cave, all of whom were men."

"Hmm?" Chen Hongde frowned. "Don’t tell me that the female spider beast captured them and absorbed their qi."

"I think so," Tang Xiao thought for a while. "That female spider beast is too strong for us, so I will contact Sect Master Huangfu and Old Man Huangfu now."

Chen Hongde had no doubt that Tang Xiao could do it, especially with his clone present. Since the female spider beast’s cultivation was too high, they couldn’t possibly face her, and they needed help to defeat her. "Junior Brother, they won’t be able to reach this area quickly because of those formations, so we have to do something to protect ourselves."

"It’s okay; I may not be able to defeat the female spider beast, but I can protect us from her, and she won’t be able to hurt us." Chen Hongde had already witnessed some of Tang Xiao’s abilities, including his void element. Thus, he believed that he could protect them. "Let’s go back for now, Senior Brother. The situation will be serious if she’s done having fun with Sun Weitian, and we might not be able to escape from her."

Chen Hongde nodded in agreement. "Let’s go."

.

.

.

Before long, Tang Xiao and Chen Hongde had arrived at the original location. They were a little surprised by the presence of so many cultivators there, most of whom were suffering from injuries.

Those cultivators looked at them with immense vigilance, but Tang Xiao couldn’t care less and pulled Chen Hongde along with him.

"Oh?" Tang Xiao was a little surprised to see Shangguan Qingyue. "You made it to this place, Senior Sister."

Shangguan Qingyue immediately opened her eyes, staring at Tang Xiao like a hungry tigress. She pointed behind and asked. "Are these invisible walls the result of your technique?"

Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan looked at Tang Xiao, and they immediately knew that his cultivation was at the King Realm. What surprised them was that he didn’t look exhausted, and he also didn’t have the slightest injury.

"You can say it like that," Tang Xiao nonchalantly replied. "Let’s go in first! The situation in this area will become dangerous soon!"

Tang Xiao opened a small gap in his void walls and led Cheng Hongde inside. Shangguan Qingyue, Ming Ren, and Shao Yuyan immediately followed them.

Situ Lingxi’s subordinates wanted to follow them, but Tang Xiao swiftly blocked the gap, preventing them from entering.

"How did it go, Junior Brother?" Mu Qingge addressed Tang Xiao as such due to Shangguan Qingyue’s presence.

Situ Lingxi raised an eyebrow for a moment, but Su Xiulan immediately whispered something to her, allowing her to grasp the situation.

"The situation in this area will become chaotic soon," Tang Xiao informed them of the presence of the female spider beast, whose cultivation was at the Peak Tyrant Level. "By the way, Situ Lingxi, your fiancé is in that cave, and he is having fun with that female beast."
