Night Without End
Chapter 1318 - 562: Holy Traveler
In the dark night, Qin Ming's eyes were interwoven with Immortal Patterns, seeing traces of blood in the distance, along with a faint Spiritual Transmission. Was that... a familiar face?
His expression changed abruptly, and he vaguely sensed who it was.
During the return journey, someone ambushed the Expeditionary. This was truly unacceptable to him.
Tang Yushang, possessing a special Divine Eye, also roughly saw the blood-soaked scene. That patch of ground was shocking, quite brutal.
Her usual demeanor was cold, like a Heavenly Immortal, but she wasn't cold-hearted inside, quite the opposite. At this moment, she was very indignant—those who went on the expedition didn't die in the outer wars, but fell within their own territory.
"Outsiders!" Yu Gen Sheng spoke, with crimson bloodstains hanging from all seven orifices.
Bai Meng's heart was solemn as he looked ahead, saying, "They're actively approaching."
His realm was the lowest, unclear about the adversary's status, but seeing two figures calmly and evenly walking toward them, he naturally understood they were confident.
Tang Yushang said, "Can't avoid it!"
"Hello, everyone," the young man greeted cheerfully from afar.
He had straw-colored curly hair, fair skin, deep-set eyes, a high and slightly hooked nose, with a confident and polite smile.
If not confident, he wouldn't dare approach them actively.
Beside him stood an elderly man, densely white-haired, hooked-nosed, with keen eyes, his Qi Mechanism restrained, yet exuded a dangerous aura.
Could he be a Great Grandmaster?
This made Qin Ming, Tang Yushang, and the others feel a heavy heart; being intercepted halfway by such figures, meant destined for a bloody disaster.
The four of them crossed the Night Fog, nearing the blood-red area.
The straw-colored curly-haired youth and white-haired Great Grandmaster's appearance and attire had a distinct Mysterious Realm style, though in human form, it was uncertain whether they were humanoid creatures or something else.
Daring to penetrate Yujing Territory, it was certainly not limited to just two of them.
The white-haired Great Grandmaster was seriously observing, saying, "Hmm, the elderly man has fine cracks all over his body. In this difficult Great Era, surviving high-realm creatures is not easy; he has made multiple moves, his physical condition is poor."
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes slightly, saying, "Hmm, he exudes an uncontainable vitality, having consumed some incredible Big Medicine, not sure if it can be refined."
Upon noticing Yu Gen Sheng's poor state, the white-haired Great Grandmaster and the youth beside him took the initiative to "cordially" greet him.
Otherwise, in the darkness, when masters meet, the first instinct is mutual avoidance, which is also a self-preservation rule in the Yewu World.
Unless I'm stronger than you, or unable to avoid, I wouldn't actively approach the opponent. This also applies to two unfamiliar civilization systems.
"Pei... Shuyan!" Upon nearing, Bai Meng saw the familiar head, shattered body all over the ground, fragmented into dozens of pieces.
Furthermore, this area was very gruesome, with a blood-stained gray-white long hair of a Grandmaster sticking to the skull, and assorted indistinguishable severed limbs belonged to others.
Clearly, a group of returnees encountered strong enemies, disintegrated simultaneously.
And the perpetrators were evidently the youth and the elder, who hadn't gone far.
"Dangerous..."
The disintegrated Grandmaster on the Immortal Road had a final wisp of Pure Yang Consciousness Remnant Thought, warning feebly, evidently shattered after a Soul Search.
Spitting out those two words, his consciousness flickered out completely.
"I will die here too," Pei Shuyan sighed; he hadn't dissipated yet mainly because the straw-colored youth still wanted to conduct a Soul Search, gathering intel about the prominent young figures in Yujing Territory to verify certain things.
"Is it all your doing?" Bai Meng fumed.
Bang, explosively, Qin Ming's Chaos Power erupted outside, wearing a frost-like face, his killing intent boundless.
"Qin Ming..." Pei Shuyan murmured, his Spiritual fire growing dim.
After battling and surviving deathly barriers, Qin Ming's armor was already shattered, all falling off, now traversing in his true form.
"Old Pei!" Qin Ming's rage roared, ready to burn through the sky.
"Too excessive!" Tang Yushang couldn't accept it either; having voyaged to the Outer Domain, they battled unscathed, yet upon returning saw their allies suffer in Yujing Territory.
Pei Shuyan's mental flame dimmed further, feeble to the extreme, saying, "Had I known, I should've exerted more effort in Flying Land... killed several more foreign foes... died outside fighting."
"Old Pei, you'll be fine!" Bai Meng shouted, in Sky City, he once acted as a broker with Pei Shuyan, mainly linking big forces with Qin Ming, freeloading meals, forming deep kinship.
With a swish, Qin Ming instantaneously moved closer to Pei Shuyan, the straw-colored youth flashing sideways to block with a smile, saying, "Don't rush, brother."
Bang, Qin Ming released Chaos Power externally, fist wrapped tightly in Runes, Powerful Qi flaring like flames, igniting the night sky crimson.
The straw-colored curly-haired youth showed surprise, his figure swaying slightly.
His expression turned serious; this target's body carried eerie cracks, bleeding from seven orifices, half his body reddened, clearly heavily injured but still wielded such force?
At the same time, Tang Yushang advanced, blocking his path.
Qin Ming charged towards Pei Shuyan, Bai Meng quickly followed.
The white-haired Great Grandmaster from deeper within the Yewu World hadn't moved, continually staring at Yu Gen Sheng, standing in confrontation.
Yu Gen Sheng pondered deeply, gazing at the profound night sky.
Yujing reignited battles with massive entities, continuing wars from the past, multiple factions in Flying Land bloodied in chaos.
