Chapter 486: Chapter 386: Remarkable Divine Skills_1

The tomb of the Tai Grand Emperor of Liao was over fourteen thousand miles away from Beijing. Despite Zhu Mingyue’s rapid journey in the Red Thunder Chariot, it took nearly half a day to arrive at the outskirts of the tomb.

This place was a part of the main trunk of the Great Xingan Mountain, encompassing dozens of neighboring valleys. At first glance, it seemed ordinary, with lush vegetation and towering ancient trees. However, at its outskirts, numerous animal and bird corpses were scattered.

Some animals had wandered into this area and eaten the grass around the tomb, which was contaminated with the extremely poisonous Yinsha, leading to their deaths. Others were drained of all blood and vitality, reducing them into dried corpses.

When Li Xuan opened his Tao-protecting Eyes and looked down, he shivered all over.

Under his Spirit Eye, the scenery around the tomb was vastly different. The area was shrouded in yin energy, blocking all sunlight.

Nearly all plants were tainted with an unnatural black aura. As Li Xuan focused his attention on them, these plants seemed to open their eyes and smile at him simultaneously, giving one the creeps.

What startled Li Xuan even more was the grey-black aura mingled with blood-red light bursting out of the tomb’s center. The cloud above was tainted by the bloody light, turning it crimson and giving the impression of a roiling Blood Sea.

Everything around the aura was distorted, even making Li Xuan’s pupils sting.

"The sky is filled with Blood Yinsha, indicating that someone is performing a blood sacrifice."

Zhu Mingyue looked serious and with a wave of her long sleeve, she sent Li Xuan and the others out of the chariot, "We’re heading straight to the sacrificial altar. You go and rescue the people. The sooner the better."

The moment she finished speaking, she had already driven the Red Thunder Chariot and flew towards the core of the Tai Grand Emperor of Liao’s tomb.

Li Xuan’s face twitched as he realized that they were now two thousand feet high in the air.

Li Xuan was not worried about himself, he mastered Thunder Style to a certain extent and wouldn’t fall to his death. But the situation of the Fumo Vajra he brought along was precarious.

With the Fumo Vajra weighing over three thousand stones, even its sturdy structure would shatter into pieces if it were to fall from such a high altitude.

In the blink of an eye, Yue Qianqian moved to the shoulder of the Fumo Vajra and stood there. With the power of an External Pill, she used the Feather Falling technique and pressed on the Fumo Vajra, stopping its downward momentum. It had initially been extremely heavy, but now it felt as light as a feather.

"Thank you, Qianqian."

Li Xuan relaxed and started to fall at an accelerated speed using Thunder Style technique.

Hovering in mid-air, Li Xuan realized that the landing spot chosen by Zhu Mingyue was not arbitrary.

There were astonishingly about two hundred Earth Dragons tethered here, along with a dozen members of the Liudao Division. They were mostly dressed in Liudao Fumo Armor of Youjiao level, and their cultivation was substantial, at least on the fifth house level. They exuded a strong and efficient air.

This was probably where Bai Leidu’s mounts were stationed. Most of the others had entered the outskirts of the tomb, leaving these dozen or so guards outside with the mounts.

They organized things well, with all the Earth Dragons forming a protective circle around the perimeter, like a moving city wall. The Youjiao in Fumo Armor were armed with crossbows, their eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

The leader was a Fumo Duyu in his thirties - reflecting the strength and status of the Shenlei Mansion. In any other place, a Duyu could control an entire army or even manage affairs on behalf of a mansion.

In Shenlei Mansion, they could only serve as team leads.

"I am Feng Sheng, commander of the seventh team of Bai Leidu." The Duyu looked puzzled as he saw Li Xuan’s group: "May I ask who you are?"

Having never seen Li Xuan at the headquarters, he certainly had no idea who Jiang Hanyun and Luo Yan were.

There was even a glimmer of surprise in the Duyu’s eyes, as the four people descending from the sky seemed too young to him.

The two young Fumo Xiaowei, coupled with two girls who weren’t even at Xiaowei level, how could they possibly help in any way?

Bai Leidu had a total of seven Fumo Xiaowei and two spellcasters. All nine of them had the Third Door level cultivation and, now, all were trapped inside.

"Fumo Xiaowei Jiang Hanyun!" Jiang Hanyun briefly introduced herself, then looked at Li Xuan.

Although she was not happy about it, prior to their departure, Zhu Mingyue had clearly appointed Li Xuan as the leader of this rescue mission.

Both Zhu Mingyue and the Deputy Venerable placed more value on Li Xuan.

Jiang Hanyun now understood Ma Chenggong’s feelings from before. It had only taken a few months for this guy to surpass them.

"Fumo Xiaowei Li Xuan." Li Xuan didn’t care about the Duyu’s attitude. It was completely normal for him not to be recognized as Bai Leidu hadn’t been involved in the previous array to capture the Demon Qilin.

But he didn’t bother explaining more. After showing his badge, he went straight to the point, "Let me have a look at your badges. Moreover, where are the two people who managed to escape the tomb? Let them lead the way for us."

However, just as he finished, he frowned. He spotted two bodies lying in the middle of the beast pack. They were clad in Duyu armor, their faces pale and unconscious.

"Are they the ones?"

"There they are who are poisoned. They passed out shortly after they withdrew." The Fumo Duyu named Feng Sheng greeted with a fist bump. "But you’d still get the same result with me. I remember everything they’ve said. I have entered the Mausoleum of the Liao Dynasty Great Ancestor three times and have gone as deep as a hundred miles, so I have a good understanding of the terrain within."

His eyes were full of worry and anxiety, clearly concerned about the safety of his colleagues.

At this point, Li Xuan had already confirmed the identities of these people. The waist tag system of the Liudao Division was rigorous. Not only did it incorporate the owner’s blood essence into the waist tag, but it also held their image silhouette. This information could be sensed by divine consciousness, making it difficult to forge.

Li Xuan then moved to the two unconscious people, pressed their foreheads, and frowned slightly.

Only after close contact did Li Xuan realize that the poison within the two was extremely concentrated, to the point where it was corroding their bodies. Their peripheral blood vessels were necrotizing.

These two people also had considerable cultivation as they were able to hang in until now.

"Let’s go."

Yue Qianqian had just brought the Fumo Vajra down from the air. Li Xuan swiped a hand across the foreheads of the two, and then he strode towards the north.

There was a lush valley that appeared on the surface, which was one of the three paths to the Mausoleum of the Liao Dynasty Great Ancestor from the ground.

Feng Sheng hesitated for a moment, but eventually he decided to follow Li Xuan’s advice. He moved to the front and said, "Sir Xiaowei, it would be better for your horse to wait outside. Even the outer area of the Mausoleum of Liao Dynasty’s Great Ancestor is filled with heavy Yinsha. Ordinary livestock won’t survive for two hours inside."

What he was referring to was the Jade Qilin that Li Xuan was following. It had assumed the form of a Dragon-blood Horse and was following after Li Xuan.

Li Xuan, however, shook his head: "My horse is not like ordinary livestock. You don’t need to worry about it. Just lead the way."

This Jade Qilin was currently his most reliable means of support, much more reliable than the Fumo Vajra.

Feng Sheng didn’t attempt to persuade him further. He didn’t understand how Li Xuan’s Dragon-blood Horse was different, feeling that the young Xiaowei didn’t yet realize the danger of the Mausoleum of the Liao Dynasty Great Ancestor.

After all, it was just a Dragon-blood Horse. As long as it wasn’t outrageously expensive, he could get another one.

Not long after they entered the valley, the Fumo Duyu lying in the center of the many Earth Dragons began to stir, all showing signs of pain on their faces at the same time.

A Fumo Youjiao responsible for their care quickly stepped forward to check their conditions. Then, signs of joy appeared on his face.

"How could this be? Nearly ninety percent of their poison has been eliminated. They’re about to wake up."

Previously, the two had been so heavily poisoned they hadn’t even felt any pain.

That Youjiao looked up at the valley entrance, "That Xiaowei surnamed Li surely has extraordinary abilities!"

※※ ※※

As Li Xuan and the others entered the valley, the scene in front of them changed.

Perhaps to ordinary people, this place would still appear as a bright azure sky, but to Li Xuan and the others, the surrounding area was filled with black fog and dim light. Anything beyond fifty feet was hard to see. Gathering Zhenyuan and using the Spirit Eye would be necessary to see even further.

"A few days ago we pursued Sikong Xin, the ’God Lord of Ten Thousand Coffins’, to this place. After venturing two hundred miles into the outskirts of the Great Ancestor Mausoleum of the Liao Dynasty, we found his trace. In order to surround and capture him, the Zhihuishi divided all the men into two parts, one to follow behind and the other to block off the road.

But not long after, someone offered blood food on the large altar of the Liao Dynasty Great Ancestor Mausoleum, causing a stirring of blood and Shi within a few hundred miles. The Zhihuishi decided to abandon the chase on the spot and let both teams retreat immediately. Meanwhile, he and two of our Xiaowei stayed behind to cover us."

While using Wind Style to run quickly, Feng Sheng explained the situation, "But as they crossed the Luohu Gully, they were ambushed. Both teams were defeated and had to disperse and hold their positions near Luohu Gully. The two Duyu who escaped were from one of the groups. They broke out and sought help with the aid of a talisman—"

Feng Sheng was very uneasy. He didn’t know whether their entrance would be like lambs to the slaughter.

However, his comrades were in extreme danger and couldn’t hold on any longer. Li Xuan and Jiang Hanyun, being two Fumo Xiaowei, should be able to be helpful.

Suddenly, Li Xuan’s eyes focused, "Fumo Duyu Feng, stop and fall back!"

Li Xuan called Feng Sheng to stop, but his Fumo Vajra advanced instead of retreating, striding forward. Two Qianjin Crossbows emerged from its scapula and fired arrows like a storm into the thick fog in front of them.

—Having raided the main hall of the Shenqi Union before, Li Xuan was covered with arrows and concealed weapon goodies for a few years. He had so many of these things that his little Sumi Ring was about to be filled to the brim.

He had tens of thousands of arrows for this Qianjin Crossbow alone, sufficient for the Fumo Vajra to use.

At this moment, the falling arrows were drawing out the ghastly cries of the Yin souls.

Feng Sheng looked ahead in surprise, only to see a towering tree erected twenty feet ahead of them. The hollow heart of the tree was pitch-black, visibly bottomless.

—Upon closer examination, it looked like the open mouth of this towering tree.

Feng Sheng couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. He had previously been completely oblivious to this tree. If he had continued walking, he would have fallen directly into this tree hole.
