âGoing anywhere is fine,â Tsukuyomi suddenly said to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen found it reasonable. With a Calamity-grade bigshot like Tsukuyomi with him, there was no danger to speak of no matter which route they took.
Furthermore, there was the antelope of unknown level beside him. With such a powerful lineup, it would be difficult for anything to happen.
However, Zhou Wenâs character was different. He felt that the resolution of anything with force was the last resort. He had a nagging feeling that there was no way to resolve the problem with force. Once he failed, there was no way out. He didnât like that feeling.
Today was somewhat different. Zhou Wen didnât have the time to waste. He had to find Li Xuan as quickly as possible before taking him to Netherworld City.
âLetâs head over there to take a look.â Zhou Wen thought for a moment and finally chose the direction that Unkilling Dugu had mentioned.
Zhou Wen chose to head in this direction not because he believed Unkilling Dugu, but because in theory, if they were telling the truth, it either meant that the black-robed man was luring them to their deaths, while Unkilling Dugu only wanted to obtain strength. The latter was relatively less dangerous. In both cases, he would be tricked, but the latter was clearly safer.
âZhou Wen, if he enters the Shinra Temple, the consequences will be unimaginable,â the black-robed man said with a heavy expression. He knew that he couldnât stop Zhou Wen, so he could only continue, âIf you have to go, itâs best you imprison Unkilling Dugu.â
âThereâs no need. Letâs go.â Zhou Wen shook his head. He had his own thoughts, so there was no need to imprison Unkilling Dugu.
âLetâs leave quickly. I hope we can still save Second Master and the rest.â Unkilling Dugu rode his bird and flew in the direction he had chosen.
âZhou Wen, do you know what youâve done?â the black-robed man asked with a frown.
Zhou Wen didnât say a word as he got Chick to speed up and followed behind Unkilling Dugu.
The black-robed man followed. Although he knew that he couldnât stop Zhou Wen, it was impossible for him to do nothing. All he could do was wait for an opportunity.
Under Unkilling Duguâs lead, the group flew through the sea of clouds, passing through various mountain peaks and palaces.
Some palaces were just illusions. They could directly pass through the palaces, but some palaces and mountains that looked like phantoms turned corporeal moments later. It looked magical and strange.This story is hosted at NovelPing.
On many mountain peaks, the figures of dimensional creatures could be seen. However, in the illusory mountain peaks, the dimensional creatures couldnât rush out. The corporeal mountain peaks were circled by Unkilling Dugu. Clearly, he didnât wish to waste time.
After flying for more than an hour, the man in black, who had been silently following behind, suddenly said, âShinra Temple is ahead. Now is the time. If we let him rush in, it will be too late to stop him.â
âWhatâs inside Shinra Temple?â Zhou Wen asked. He felt that even if the black-robed man wasnât lying, he had to be hiding something.
A palace appeared in the sea of clouds in front of him. Unlike the other palaces, this palace was inverted at the end of the sky above.
There were many mountain peaks hanging down from the sky in Myriad Elephant Valley, but there was only one inverted palace. Regardless of whether this palace was Shinra Temple, it was an extraordinary place.
At this point, seeing that Unkilling Dugu was gradually approaching the palace, the black-robed man hesitated for a moment before saying, âI donât know much. I only know that thereâs a person trapped in Shinra Temple.â
âA person?â Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled.
âA member of our Dugu family. Furthermore, heâs someone we canât let Unkilling Dugu meet. This is what the Patriarch said. Thereâs definitely no mistake.â The black-robed man looked at Unkilling Dugu and continued, âItâs not too late to stop him now. Donât let him in.â
Zhou Wen said to Unkilling Dugu, âThe palace ahead isnât Boundless Mountain, right? Thereâs no need to approach it. Letâs circle around it.â
âAlright.â Unkilling Dugu agreed verbally, but he didnât change his direction. He continued charging towards the inverted palace.
At this moment, it was obvious that Unkilling Dugu had been lying. His goal was the palace.
Chick let out a long cry and spewed out golden flames at Unkilling Dugu.
Although Chick now looked like an eagle, it actually had a phoenix bloodline. It spewed out phoenix flames and Unkilling Dugu and his Companion Beast were swept into the terrifying golden flames.
The Mythical Companion Beast was burned to ashes. Even Unkilling Dugu was aflame and on the brink of turning to ashes.
Even so, Unkilling Dugu didnât die. With his body burning with phoenix flames, he suddenly sped up and transformed into a stream of light that rushed towards the inverted palace.
He can still live despite being burned to such a state. His ability is almost comparable to Li Xuanâs.Zhou Wen looked at Tsukuyomi. With a Calamity like Tsukuyomi around, it was impossible for Unkilling Dugu to charge into the Shinra Temple.
However, to his surprise, Tsukuyomi had no intention of attacking at all. She only stood there and watched as the charred Unkilling Dugu tore through the door and rushed into the Shinra Temple.The source of this chapter is novelping dot com.
Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled, but he wasnât too surprised.
âItâs over.â The black-robed man sighed. Although he wanted to stop it, the speed that Unkilling Dugu had displayed at the end was something he couldnât stop.
However, the black-robed man also knew that it wasnât the time to blame Zhou Wen. Solving the problem was the priority.
âZhou Wen, Iâm afraid Iâll have to trouble you to stop Unkilling Dugu later. You canât let him leave Myriad Elephant Valley. After the grand ceremony ends, our Dugu family will rush over to provide support. We are still about an hour away before the grand ceremony ends and Boundless Mountain materializes. I hope we can hold on until then,â the black-robed man said.
âDonât worry. Iâll naturally answer for the trouble Iâve caused,â Zhou Wen said.
The man in black shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought to himself,You have no idea how big the trouble you have stirred up.
However, since Zhou Wen was willing to stay behind to help, he didnât harp on the matter. He continued, âI donât know what kind of power Unkilling Dugu will obtain inside. You mustnât be careless. Prepare for the worst. If you have any means to deal with it, itâs best you prepare immediately.â
Zhou Wen nodded but didnât do anything. All he did was look at Shinra Temple.
Shinra Temple was pitch-black like ink. There were no signs of bricks at all, as though it was carved from a complete boulder. The appearance of the palace was ancient. It was only one floor, and it was squarish. It was somewhat different from ordinary rectangular palaces.
However, this palace had no signs or plaques. He didnât know why it was called Shinra Temple.
âWhy is this place called Shinra Temple?â Zhou Wen asked the black-robed man.
âThis is the center of Myriad Elephant Valley, the core of everything. Thatâs why we call it Shinra Temple. If you want to ask me whatâs inside, Iâm afraid youâll be disappointed. Iâve already told you everything I know. I only know that thereâs a terrifying creature trapped inside, and itâs a member of our Dugu family,â the black-robed man said helplessly.
As the two of them spoke, Tsukuyomi suddenly walked towards the entrance of Shinra Temple.
