Chapter 2220: Chapter 2221: Revealed
At this moment, Sun Tianming and Chen Jie were not focused on this matter; despite their ears bleeding, the scene unfolding before them was even more shocking.
Within those screaming skeletons, a dense blood-red color flowed out, coursing through the rock crevices, reaching toward the central position of the hall.
During this movement, the blood at the bottom of the hall converged into an inverted torrent, swirling slowly amidst it, as if something was about to burst forth from the thick blood!
"It’s been so many years! Finally, the ancestor is coming back!"
Zheng Chuanhai was visibly excited, madness flickered in his eyes, making the whites of his eyes bleed with crimson under his intense gaze.
He had waited far too long for this moment; such waiting didn’t extinguish his fighting spirit, but rather fueled the desire in his heart.
The entire Holy Sect was striving for this; if it weren’t for the fact that the ancestor was previously injured by Lu Qiming and trapped within his body, the Holy Sect wouldn’t have fallen into such a dire situation.
Thinking of this, Zheng Chuanhai couldn’t help but cast a venomous glance at Chen Jie and Sun Tianming.
These people from the Green Ripple Sect were also descendants of Lu Qiming’s disciples; if the ancestor recovered, naturally their flesh would be used to appease the agony the ancestor suffered all these years! Zheng Chuanhai thought ruthlessly.
"Given this situation, it really doesn’t look good; it seems like some kind of ritual is being held. When there’s an opportunity, we must break it."
Sun Tianming’s expression revealed solemnity as he looked at these figures nearing madness, aware of the dire nature of the scene.
More importantly, he couldn’t help but look up at Lin Chen a little further away; with the eerie occurrence high above the temple, Lin Chen’s face turned from pale white to enveloped in black aura.
This change made Sun Tianming extremely serious, as from Lin Chen’s head, it seemed strands of black mist emerged, condensing creepily into blood-colored skeletons above him.
And before Lin Chen, that black pearl was also mutating.
It seemed like a starving man, after years without sustenance, as the Spiritual Pearl atop it slowly flickered with light, as if in a rhythm of inhaling and exhaling, within this inexplicable motion, a blood-red vortex began to emerge in the temple, emitting waves of sinister aura, converging toward the pearl.
That aura wasn’t dense, as it spread from above to below, merely as thick as hair strands, but even in such conditions, the black pearl’s presence gradually grew stronger.
This growing presence caused a faint silhouette to emerge on the pearl.
The silhouette stood seven feet tall, shrouded in black mist, glimpses of his fierce countenance visible amidst the intermittent darkness.
He looked like a middle-aged man; though not handsome, he emanated a commanding presence, which seemed to envelop the entire hall, emanating from the depths of one’s mind, inciting feelings of despair and fear.
Sun Tianming and Chen Jie had never seen this person before, and at this moment, they looked at each other in shock, anyone could see their underlying fear.
Because from the aura emitted by this silhouette, they could sense, this person’s presence had exceeded far beyond the spiritual embryonic stage, and this level was continuously deepening with the energy emitted by the vortex above the temple!
"Ancestor!"
Since the silhouette appeared, Zheng Chuanhai was extremely excited, he bowed slightly, showing respect.
The silhouette slowly turned his head, casting a brief glance at Zheng Chuanhai.
Immediately, Zheng Chuanhai felt an intense pressure envelop him, and in an instant, sweat flowed down his neck.
"Spiritual embryonic stage level five, quite a decent strength. Whose disciple are you?"
The silhouette slowly spoke, sounding as if he hadn’t spoken in a long time, his words carrying a slight awkwardness and pause from his throat.
"Reporting to the ancestor, my master is Zheng You." Zheng Chuanhai responded respectfully.
"Hmm, you found a good body, I like it."
After the silhouette spoke, he turned around, his gaze fervently fixated on Lin Chen.
"May the ancestor be satisfied."
Zheng Chuanhai was thrilled; gaining the appreciation of the person before him would surely elevate his status within the Holy Sect significantly in the future, which is also why he took risks to come to this place.
"Go!"
While they were conversing, suddenly, Sun Tianming roared furiously, taking advantage of their distraction, his figure swiftly darted out.
He could no longer afford to wait; these things were too bizarre, strange enough to make him lose control, so seeing them distracted in conversation, Sun Tianming moved.
In the spacious hall, his movement was quick, yet appeared conspicuously abrupt in the open space.
"Xu Hao, break his leg for me."
A voice filled with anger rang out, and the skinny man called Xu Hao immediately moved.
He glided like a ghost, swiftly following behind Sun Tianming, stepping into his path.
In just a fraction of a second, he had already caught up with Sun Tianming. Among these people, he was the fastest, moving even quicker than lightning, Sun Tianming only felt a cool breeze on his back, and when he turned again, the figure had already reached half a meter behind him!
And in his hand, was a dagger shimmering with cold light.
As he approached quickly, Xu Hao extended his tongue, gently licking the tip of the dagger’s edge, the sharp point pierced his tongue, causing blood to spray onto the dagger, enveloping it with a mist of blood, eerily sinister.
"Be careful, Brother Sun!"
Chen Jie was anxious, she ran forward, her hand swiftly rising, launching a wave of Spiritual Energy, the attack was not particularly intense, but rapidly approached Xu Hao’s figure.
"Mind your own business."
With a swishing sound, a burly man flashed, appearing like a massive rock before Chen Jie, and upon his appearance, Chen Jie’s attack landed on him.
It didn’t cause the slightest ripple, not even forcing the burly man back at all. The burly man simply brushed off his clothes that were hit, then looked at Chen Jie with a frosty expression.
Chen Jie stopped moving, glancing at Sun Tianming, then at the burly man before her, and many worried looks focused on Lin Chen, who had already fallen into unconsciousness.
She bit her lip tightly, the enemy before her made her feel powerless.
Suddenly, she pulled out the pill she had been hiding, and with determination, she swallowed it.
"Will it work?"
Zheng Chuanhai snorted coldly upon seeing Chen Jie’s stance rise steadily; the abilities enhanced by pills, no matter how strong, have their limits, how long could she hold on?
