Chapter 462: 423 return one

Entering the bedroom, Li Chengyi found himself suddenly surrounded by gray Flames of Death Energy.

The vast flames, silent as fog, spread around, sealing all doors and windows from entry or exit.

Even the surrounding walls were covered, isolating any potential external probes.

This was a small trick Li Chengyi had learned from the memories of those Necromancers.

Because of its strong isolation properties, Death Energy could be used as an excellent material to shield from consciousness power and various energy probes, with very effective results.

After completing these preparations, he walked to the center of the room, pressed his hand to the Mark of the Evil Flower, ready to choose someone to summon to his team.

The candidate he had in mind was already decided. According to the era and style of this blind spot, the most suitable one to come here first was naturally...

Buzz!!!

In an instant, a huge vibration came from outside the house.

’No...! It’s not the house that’s shaking, it’s the ground trembling!!’ Li Chengyi’s expression changed.

An earthquake!?

The thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly dissipated the Flames of Death Energy barrier, threw open the door, and rushed out.

He saw in the distance, the sun in the sky had disappeared, replaced by a giant blood-red disk that eclipsed all else.

Around the disk were spines, and its center sparkled with golden light through intricate patterns.

A gigantic figure vaguely hovered in front of the disk, one hand raised high.

As if in confrontation with something.

The rumbling sound continued to arrive.

The sky gradually turned a dark red, shifting from what was nearly dusk to a piercing blood color.

Countless blood clouds converged, covering the entire sky.

Pop.

A drop of rain fell, landing on the back of Li Chengyi’s hand, leaving a shockingly red stain.

"This is...!?" His expression was stern as he looked at the red spot on his hand. He sniffed it closely and could actually smell the scent of blood.

"Is it blood...!!?"

Not only that, but even the blood within his own body seemed to be accelerating with this inexplicable vibration.

’If even I am affected, then those common people...’ Li Chengyi’s heart chilled.

He suddenly leapt up and rushed towards a higher elevation nearby.

When he reached the outer edge of a high tower, he was able to overlook the entire city from several hundred meters up.

The whole city was submerged in a downpour of blood rain.

Above the much higher Tian Ju Pavilion, the real Yin Yue and the Four Great Yin Gods had already emerged, floating in mid-air, looking towards the distant mysterious disk and colossal figure.

"The State Preceptor is now confronting an Outer Domain powerhouse. Everyone remain calm, it will soon be over," Yin Yue’s voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, soothing everyone.

At the same time, it swiftly relieved the terrifying oppressiveness brought by the blood rain.

It wasn’t a psychological relief, but a tangible one.

’This is the advantage of having a powerful protector within the city...’ Li Chengyi suddenly understood why the Quling Mansion could gather so many people to live here.

Although he had also practiced martial arts, reached the peak of the Spirit Fusion Realm, obtained the Second Imprint, and even was considered to have obtained the Third Imprint.

But as for the application of martial arts in this direction, he was also unclear about the principles.

Whoosh!

Just then, in the distant sky, countless blood clouds gathered, enveloping the disk and the figure within, suddenly rising upward.

In a few seconds, everything returned to normal; the blood clouds and blood rain disappeared, and the disk and figure were snatched away through the atmosphere, vanishing into the sky.

"The State Preceptor has successfully eliminated the external threat; it’s over," Yin Yue stated calmly, then turned to leave.

This number one powerhouse of Quling Mansion looked much like a typical old Taoist, with white hair and eyebrows, and a red vertical mark between the eyebrows—nothing more.

However, the other four Great Yin Gods each had their own peculiar forms.

Tiancan, Yun Song, Du Her, Qiu Ming. Two men, two women, standing to the sides.

One wore a white ceramic helmet, even covering their eyes.

Another was wrapped in bandage-like white silk.

Another’s body was incredibly bloated, like an inflated human, with skin that was all rotting flesh.

Only Qiu Ming was somewhat normal, though pale and as thin as a bamboo stick.

Li Chengyi glanced over them from a distance, then like everyone else, he paid his distant respects to Yin Yue.

After paying respects, everyone dispersed, and Li Chengyi returned to his room. The events that had just transpired felt like an illusion, as if a terrifyingly powerful being had suddenly appeared in the sky and then just as suddenly was taken away by an even more terrifying ally.

He could now understand why the people here were so obsessed with martial arts.

He could also understand why martial artists held such a high status.

Refocusing, he covered the surroundings again with Death Energy to isolate everything.

Li Chengyi pressed on the Mark of the Evil Flower.

’Flower Language: Mother of Heart—Pull!’

He uttered in his mind.

Purple light suddenly lit up, and silhouettes of hosts holding Floral Beads flashed rapidly through his mind.

Before long, Li Chengyi determined a profile, released the Mark with his left hand, and pointed forward.

Sss!

A purple light shot out from his fingertip, landed precisely, and transformed into a highly complex three-dimensional purple magic circle.

Layers of floral-patterned symbols within the circle began to spin rapidly. It took only two seconds.

A vague humanoid figure gradually emerged within the spell, the outline becoming sharper and clearer.

It was a tall man with a long build, wearing a white robe with a black, close-fitting undersuit.

The man had short black hair, piercing eyes, but his face had a naturally androgynous beauty, delicate and attractive; if he were to change into women’s attire, he could easily rival the beauty of Ouyang Qing.

Moreover, compared to Ouyang Qing, he emanated an indescribable and special aura.
