1397: Chapter 1397: Encounter with Attack (Part 5)_1 1397: Chapter 1397: Encounter with Attack (Part 5)_1 “Could there really be a Hongmeng Devourer here?”

After hearing about the terror of the Hongmeng Devourer, the color of worry on everyone’s faces deepened.

If they really encountered a Hongmeng Devourer, their situation would become precarious.

“The Hongmeng Devourer is an ancient legend.

Even if it has appeared before, it has never truly matured.

There must be some reasons for that.

You all don’t need to worry too much.

This is just this old man’s speculation.”

The one in the Silence Destroying Emperor Stage said.

“Regardless, let’s be careful.

Even if we really encounter that thing, we should be able to handle it with our numbers.”

The expression on King Sky Net was not relaxed.

He had a very ominous premonition that whatever existed here was extremely terrifying.

Soon after, everyone set off again in the direction they were headed.

Half a day later, aside from finding some corpses, they didn’t find anything else.

“Continuing like this is not a solution, let’s divide into three groups and act separately.

As soon as we find anything, we’ll contact each other through this jade slip.”

It was obvious that people from the Suofeng Ghost Emperor’s side had already arrived here, one step ahead of them.

If they kept searching like this, they would surely fall far behind.

Even if there really were treasures, they would fall into the hands of the people under Suofeng Ghost Emperor.

And so, King Sky Net decided to split everyone into three groups, each carrying a communication jade slip for contact in case of emergencies.

This way, they could immediately pinpoint their location through the jade slip.

Excluding King Sky Net himself, there were exactly ten people in each group.

Long Yan and Purple Charm Ghost Lady ended up in the same group, with six people in the True Self Emperor Stage and four in the Silence Destroying Emperor Stage.

“The first and second groups will head off in these two directions, while the third group will stay with me.”

Having set their direction, the three groups parted ways.

The leader of Group One was a middle-aged man named Lu Feng, a burly figure in the Silence Destroying Emperor Stage.

“Everyone, be careful.

If there’s any trouble, it’s important to save your own lives first.

It’s not worth risking our lives for ten Purple Crystals.”

Serving as the vanguard, Lu Feng reminded Long Yan and the others.

Everyone shared this sentiment.

They were hired to do a job and they intended to fulfill it, but no one wanted to risk their lives for it.

…………

The depths of the Sealed Gods Ancient Road, a mysterious space.

“Master, what are your orders?”

A black-clothed man stepped out of the void, bowing respectfully to Emperor Ye.

“I have sensed the breath of the Hongmeng Devourer.

You must go there immediately and bring it back.”

Said Emperor Ye, excitement gleaming in his eyes.

“Yes!”

The black-clothed man immediately accepted the task before asking, “Master, what is the Hongmeng Devourer?”

The Hongmeng Devourer was a very ancient being that had long since vanished, and few knew of its existence.

“The Hongmeng Devourer is a unique life form that grows by devouring other lives.

Unbound by realms, the more lives it consumes, the stronger it becomes.

It’s immortal.”

Emperor Ye explained, “Once the Hongmeng Devourer is suppressed and refined using powerful methods, one can gain its abilities.”

Upon merging with the Hongmeng Devourer, a martial artist can breakfree from the constraints of realms, and constantly strengthens by devouring lives – a frightening prospect.

However, refining the Hongmeng Devourer is not something ordinary people can achieve.

“Is the Hongmeng Devourer that terrifying?”

Suddenly alarmed by Emperor Ye’s explanation, the black-clothed man couldn’t help but contemplate on the potential of merging with the Hongmeng Devourer…

Emperor Ye waved his hand, imprinting a set of information into the black-clothed man’s mind.

“The Hongmeng Devourer is in that place.

I’m currently at a critical stage of merging with the power of my past life.

The Burial Sky Church is watching closely.

Remember, you must be very careful, and cannot leave any trace for the Burial Sky Church to find.”

Emperor Ye warned.

“Rest assured, Master!”

After acknowledging the order, the black-clothed man once again bowed and disappeared.

…………

The desolate and silent star.

Lu Feng, leading Long Yan and the other nine, walked forward always on alert.

However, a day of nothing but desolation made their vigilance relax somewhat.

At night, Long Yang and others found a ruined manor, its buildings already destroyed, clearly whip-lashed by wind and sand.

However, it didn’t seem to matter to them; they only needed a place to rest.

Yet, as Long Yan and the others entered the manor, there was an eye observing them from the shadows.

Even Long Yan didn’t notice that pair of eyes.

“Everyone, rest.

I’ll stay up and stand guard!” Long Yan volunteered to stand guard.

He had a premonition about the terrible thing that turned people into dried corpses.

It was certainly lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to attack them.

“Brother Zuitian, we’ll owe you one.” Lu Feng stepped forward, patted Long Yan on the shoulder, then found a place and began to meditate.

Immediately after, Purple Charm Ghost Lady and the others also each found a spot to meditate and recover their energies.

After being tense all day, even as Emperors, they felt a bit tired.

Long Yan remained tense, not relaxing at all, ready for the unseen.

Time slowly passed.

That eye from the darkness still watched Long Yan and the others, as if waiting for a chance, but also seemingly hesitant about something.

Very quickly, four hours had passed.

“It’s here!”

Suddenly, Long Yan’s eyes shot up.

A charged Slaughter Blade Light instantly hacked out.

“Crisp!”

The next moment, the Slaughter Blade Light got hit by a powerful force and shattered directly.

However, just as Long Yan prepared for another move, the breath of the attacker mysteriously disappeared, out of his sensing range.

Such a huge commotion awakened Lu Feng and the others.

“Brother Zuitian, what happened?” Lu Feng asked.

“I don’t know what it was.

It was preparing to ambush us.

I detected it, struck it once, but it then escaped.” Long Yan explained honestly.

“Did you manage to see what it looked like?” Purple Charm Ghost Lady asked urgently.

Long Yan shook his head slightly.

The enemy was elusive.

He hadn’t even caught a glimpse of its shadow.

“Damn it, what the hell is that?” At this moment, everyone felt their hair standing on end.

Lu Feng couldn’t help but swear.

Unknown things are always the most terrifying.

From the sounds alone, they could all judge that the force that shattered Long Yan’s attack was formidable.

And after the exchange, Long Yan hadn’t even seen the shadow of his opponent – that was too uncanny.

The more they thought, the more afraid they became.

So everyone began to be vigilant once again.

“I have a feeling that the thing hasn’t left.

Everyone, be careful.”

After an exchange of blows, although Long Yan did not see what the opponent was, he felt a prickling sensation.

This feeling was like a pair of eyes in the dark watching them, probably waiting for the right moment.

Hearing this, everyone’s nerves tightened even more.
