Chapter 497: Chapter 132 Arrival of the Cat Emperor【Adding 10 more for the Silver Union Leader Sea Soul Clothes completed】 Chapter 497: Chapter 132 Arrival of the Cat Emperor【Adding 10 more for the Silver Union Leader Sea Soul Clothes completed】 The most immediate concern was to upgrade one’s combat capability, and Spiritual Transformation seemed to be the best way to do it.

Its impact was instant and remarkable.

Feng Ying quickly projectile herself into the pocket with a flop, an apparent sign of her dislike for any sort of fighting.

Certainly, she didn’t quite feel the need for it at the moment.

In his characteristic adaptability, Feng Yin morphed his finger into a Spirit Gathering mode and initiated a Spiritual Transformation.

There!

He pinpointed the Ghostly Soul Snake’s head.

The Ghostly Soul Snake was so thrilled that it almost fainted.

This immense opportunity had arrived quicker than it imagined.

Ah! What an incredible master he had!

As the Ghostly Soul Snake absorbed the power, it felt a godlike energy enter its body – an energy so profound and indescribable that even the roots of its existence seemed to be elevating, transcending beyond the ordinary.

The snake blinked its bright green eyes and slouched down like a lump of mud, changing from coiling in circles to stretching out like a chopstick.

Its limbs were sprawled in all directions.

After which….. its skin started to dry up.

Feng Yin quickly picked it up and stowed it away in his other pocket.

Next, he took out some food and water, placed them in a tree hole, opened up the Spiritual Transformation Technique teachings, and started his cultivation practice.

Feng Ying climbed out of the pocket onto his chest, snuggling up close to him, and they both re-established their co-cultivating state.

Normally, time would fly when Feng Yin cultivated.

But this time, it seemed to have been just less than two hours when…..

Suddenly, the outside world erupted in commotion and sounds of warfare.

Feng Yin’s mind turned sharply, with his eyes following suit.

Suddenly, he recalled those damaged trees.

Drawing on his spiritual power, he quickly touched the trunk, and then, carrying the snake and the cat, he buried himself deeper underground.

As it turns out, this move by Feng Yin proved to be very wise—

Barely a minute after Feng Yin and his two little companions sank about ten feet below the ground…

There was a loud explosion, and the upper half of the tree that was above ground, strongly infused by Feng Yin’s transformation, was blown away, leaving only a shattered wreck.

The tree, having been one with Feng Yin, could clearly feel the pain.

All the roots underground were convulsing violently.

Although Feng Yin had already transferred most of its vitality and energy to the roots, the total annihilation of the trunk and crown was still a stab in the heart for the ancient tree, causing extreme suffering.

It was as if a person had been reduced to a mere stump – even if the lost limbs could grow back in the future, the pain at the moment would still be unbearable.

“Don’t worry, I will help you recover soon.”

Feng Yin leaned against a nearby part of the tree trunk and consoled it in a soothing voice.

Meanwhile, he once again operated the power of Spiritual Transformation Technique and guided it into the tree roots.

This method might not have been particularly effective, with over 60% of the spiritual power dissipating into thin air, but the reduced pain and resulting calm gave reassurance to Feng Yin that it was worth the effort.

The fighting outside was still ongoing and intensifying.

Feng Yin carefully examined the situation, realizing it was three people ganging up on one.

“Gentle! Surrender now!”

“Bullshit! You are Gentle! Your father is Gentle! Your grandfather, your entire family, all gentles!”

“Hehe… you think that just because you said it, I will believe you are not Gentle? Brothers, push harder!”

“…”

Feng Yin hid in the tree hole, laughing at the absurdity of the scene but also feeling a surge of anger and powerlessness.

How had matters evolved to this point?

No need for any justification, just the suspicion of being Gentle was reason enough for assault!

No questions asked!

As Feng Yin was about to refocus and evaluate the actual strength of the four individuals – while contemplating whether to seize the opportunity again…

Suddenly everything fell silent outside.

Yet Feng Yin, hiding in the underground tree hole, suddenly felt a suffocating pressure.

His heartbeats nearly stopped, and his breath hitched.

The four combatants above also fell to the ground, trembling with paleness written across their faces.

This was an overwhelming pressure, so strong that it nearly halted Feng Yin’s heartbeats on the spot!

Damn it, what formidable being had shown up?

A clear and elegant voice then spoke from above, “Are you the assassin Gentle?”

“No… no, Sir, I am not Gentle! I am… ah!”

A sudden scream, clearly the person had been grabbed by the powerful individual who had arrived.

After a few seconds…

With a thud, it sounded like a lump of mud had been thrown onto the ground.

The clear, elegant voice sounded again with obvious disappointment, “Soul search complete, not Gentle.”

Subsequently, stuttering, chattering sounds could be heard. They were the three men who had been part of the gang-up, their teeth chattering in fear.

“You three, he was not Gentle. Why did you claim he was?”

The elegant voice asked, the tone neither angry nor happy, but seemingly very calm.

The sound of continuous thuds resounded, it was the three men, continuously knocking their foreheads against the ground, begging for mercy, “Sir, spare us, we just suspected him to be Gentle. There are very few lone rangers in this dense pine forest, nobody knows what Gentle really looks like…”

“So you can kill at your whim on mere suspicion?”

The elegant voice responded indifferently, “What are your names?”

Then the names were reported.

The elegant voice nodded, “Oh, so you all are mission targets of the Heavenly Judgment… that simplifies things.”

Then came the sound of the men begging for their lives again…

Followed by repeated snapping sounds, as if bones were being broken.

The begging instantly stopped, replaced by the sound of gurgling that seemed to be blood flowing from their necks.

Apparently, these guys had been finished off.

The clear, elegant voice expressed regret, sighing sentimentally, “The vices of the world are endless, demonic beings have filled the lands; when will the universe be cleansed, how can peace be secured?”

“We, indeed, bear a heavy burden and have a long way to go.”

Then, there were no more sounds from the ground above. It seemed as though the individual had left.

However, Feng Yin did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Holding his breath, concentrating fully, he simply continued to circulate his spiritual power in silence underground. Even Feng Ying, curled up in his arms, ceased her rumbling purring on Feng Yin’s instructions.

The owner of the refined voice above was unknown to him, but the cultivation exhibited was evidently terrifying, far beyond his comprehension.

From Feng Yin’s judgment, the lowest cultivation level of the four individuals previously fighting above would have been at the peak of the Earth Level, with the chance of them possibly being of Heavenly Level. Yet, the arrival of the owner of the refined voice was merely marked by a domineering aura that managed to overpower them.

They did not even dare to resist, not even capable of being likened to lambs for slaughter. In the end, they were casually dispatched just by a pinch.

Considering the strength of the individual, it is terrifying to imagine the extent of this person’s capabilities.

“Could it be that one of the Nine Colors Supreme has arrived?”

Feng Yin muttered to himself.

Although the other party seemed to portray righteousness in his words and might even be a peak figure among the Heavenly Judges.

From his phrases, he appeared to harbor great concern for the world and its inhabitants…

However, Feng Yin did not dare to trust anyone at this moment, it was difficult to trust completely!

Even if the opposite party were genuinely virtuous, he would not believe it!

Who knows if they really have left or not?

The presence of a cultivated power far beyond his understanding was close-by, making the situation unimaginably terrifying.

After quite some time, another momentum as crushing as the sky collapsing arrived.

Feng Yin’s heart jumped to his throat once again.

Damn, another one arrived?

Wrong, the one who arrived later headed straight here, doesn’t that imply… The earlier individual never left and is still around?!

Then Feng Yin heard a voice: “White Rainbow, so it was you who was killing here.”

This voice was filled with a sharp edge.

Just listening to the voice made one feel as if they were witnessing a splendid and unmatched sword rampaging freely.

While Feng Yin’s thoughts were racing, cold sweat was trickling down his body leaving his clothes drenched in no time.

Turns out the one who didn’t leave was White Rainbow from the Nine Colors Supreme!

The best of bright jade pillars from Qi Kingdom and the beam of purple gold that spans the sea.

But why didn’t he leave just now?

He killed someone and completed his mission, no hint of life could be felt nearby. What exactly was the reason that made him wait here quietly for a full hour?

Upon pondering this question, it feels terrifying.

Feng Yin did not dare to think further, he feared that he might break into a cold sweat and faint.

One could only hear White Rainbow expressing his surprise: “Lan Dan? How did you end up here? With your temperament, you wouldn’t be interested in these matters.”

Lan Dan!

Feng Yin’s vision darkened.

Unexpectedly, it was another person from the Nine Colors Supreme.

Then he heard Lan Dan speaking: “I just slaughtered that Centipede Demon Emperor and was about to go home for a visit when I was passing by this area. I detected a powerful energy fluctuation here and was curious about which old friend might be here, so I flew down to have a look and stumbled upon you murderous bastard.”

Following that, White Rainbow laughed and said: “How come Green Shadow didn’t accompany you?”

Lan Dan replied: “She was also heading in this direction. By her pace, she should not be too far from this location by now and will appear soon.”

White Rainbow laughed and said: “An accidental meeting is better than a planned one. Now that all of us destined to meet here have arrived, why don’t you join me.”

Lan Dan shook his head: “Forget it. Opportunities and benefits are hard for many to divide. What makes me curious is, why were you standing here motionless earlier, is there something afoot?”

At that, White Rainbow smiled slightly and said: “It’s just a feeling.”

“A feeling?”

“Yes, the reason I came here was because I felt there was an energy far stronger than ordinary cultivators lurking nearby. However, I checked all over the surrounding areas, even underground, and scanned them with my spiritual sense, but found nothing.”

White Rainbow spoke with an uncertain tone: “It’s truly baffling why it’s so.”

Lan Dan burst out laughing: “In this world, are there any techniques or methods that can elude your spiritual sense detection, let alone at such a close distance? White Rainbow, have you been overworking recently and started hallucinating?”

“Overworking? Maybe.”

White Rainbow replied hesitantly.

As Lan Dan’s voice echoed clearly, he asked: “Have you heard any news from Qing Ming recently?”

White Rainbow suddenly squinted his eyes: “Qing Ming? Their disappearance isn’t a recent event, why ask about it now?”

“I’m curious as to why they all disappeared together.”

Lan Dan frowned: “I always feel that there’s more to this.”

He joked: “White Rainbow, did you plot against them?”

White Rainbow chuckled bitterly: “I wish it was a plot of mine, unfortunately I don’t have such capability.”

Lan Dan remained silent.

White Rainbow added: “By the way, I saw Purple Emperor a while ago, he also mentioned this matter…”

Lan Dan interrupted him with a trace of irritation: “Don’t mention him in my presence, I have loathed him for a long time.”

White Rainbow laughed and shook his head.

“Let’s go, we can talk as we walk.”

Lan Dan pulled White Rainbow: “Hey, there’s no one here! With your level of suspicion, when can you let go a little? Now, if an entity that both of us couldn’t detect were to appear, do you think you can fight them?”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Lan Dan decided to take White Rainbow with him unwillingly.

Feeling the powerful momentum gradually withdrawing, Feng Yin quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

They finally left!

However, subsequent to this, he was once again taken aback.

An icy voice resonated from afar, laced with harsh murderous intent: “White Rainbow, what brought you here?”

It was a woman’s voice, and her cultivation level was extremely high.

What was even more alarming was that Feng Yin recognized the owner of this voice.

He had heard it before.

It was the mother of Feng Ying.

Cat Emperor!

Mao Yimiao!
