Chapter 472: Chapter 378 Time is about to start flowing backward_4

Zhang Tiande sneered coldly and led his men into the Spirit Cave.

As they advanced, Zhang Tiande felt a chill rise in his heart at the sight of the shattered pieces and ruins scattered all around, "Such destructive power, has Zhao Ping also mastered the third legacy? Why did he attack this Spirit Cave? And where did he hide after the attack? Did he travel through the Immortal Gate to the Mirror World, or is he still in East Sea City..."

While Zhang Tiande and his men were investigating and gathering clues, a light chuckle came, "Zhang Tiande, since when can Xia Country send people into the Spirit Cave of New Country?"

Zhang Tiande turned sharply and saw the man standing atop the ruins, thinking to himself, "Fan Mingxiu, sure enough, he has been active around East Sea City..."

Fan Mingxiu stepped forward lightly and said indifferently, "Leave, you are not welcome here."

Zhang Tiande replied, "The one who attacked the Spirit Cave is from Xia Country, it’s only natural that we investigate this matter."

Fan Mingxiu gave him a cold glance, "Zhang Tiande, you used to be one of New Country’s own, only to side with Xia Country and oppose us day in and day out. I ignored you before because you were weak and posed no threat to me."

"You now have the audacity to lead men into the Spirit Cave of New Country?"

"It seems I was too lenient with you just now."

In the midst of speaking, several green-faced, fang-toothed figures with an overpowering stench of decay materialized behind Fan Mingxiu, emitting a strong smell of blood.

"Scram."

The ghastly figures suddenly rushed forward and, under the assault of their miasma, Zhang Tiande and his men’s complexions changed slightly. They began to feel dizzy and experienced a numbing sensation in their extremities.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout from Zhang Tiande, he and his subordinates donned golden armors and collided ferociously with the approaching specters.

Bang! Intense shockwaves spread out from the point of impact.

Zhang Tiande and his men were sent flying by the specters, their faces ashen as they clambered up from dozens of meters away.

Zhang Tiande thought to himself, "Not only does Fan Mingxiu have the third legacy of a sorcerer, but he has also achieved at least two third-legacy transformations. The combat power of his corpse puppets is no small matter."

Meanwhile, the spectral figures attacked again, hitting Zhang Tiande and his group like they were bouncing balls, repeatedly knocking them out until they were outside the range of the Spirit Cave.

Ignoring Zhang Tiande and his men, Fan Mingxiu walked among the ruins, thinking, "Lin Xing had just been publicly executed, and then someone attacked this Spirit Cave. Could the attacker be related to Lin Xing?"

As he pondered, the ground under his feet trembled as if something massive had slammed down onto the surface.

Then a rough breathing sound, heavy like a wild beast, resounded not far behind Fan Mingxiu.

An astonishing heat emanated from close by, and the temperature within several hundred meters slowly began to rise, as if winter was turning into spring.

Fan Mingxiu turned sharply and said to the man who appeared, frowning, "Sky Beast, you’re late."

The man in front of Fan Mingxiu was like a wild beast.

His face and every inch of skin exposed were covered in scars from sword cuts and burns.

Yet those scars made his already formidable physique appear even more ferocious.

Sky Beast smirked, "Have I ever been early?"

Fan Mingxiu’s brow furrowed slightly; the Sky Beast before him used to be just one of his subordinates, a street hoodlum with unremarkable Martial Arts Cultivation barely at the first level.

But since the cataclysm that brought about an abundance of spiritual energy, his cultivation had soared. Not only did he master the third legacy, he had also developed one more third-legacy transformation than Fan Mingxiu himself. His strength was now subtly superior to Fan Mingxiu, and within New Country, he had risen to a position equal to his.

Suppressing his irritation, Fan Mingxiu said, "We must capture the person behind this attack and clarify their relationship with Lin Xing. You need to cooperate with my next move, and I will..."

Sky Beast cut him off, speaking coldly, "Fan Mingxiu, have you gone senile? Don’t think just because you brought me up, you can order me around. I don’t take orders from you."

"Cui Yue works under me, and this Spirit Cave is my responsibility. Messing with this place is the same as slapping me in the face, regardless of any Lin Xing. I’ll find whoever it is myself."

"As for you... keep your damn meddling out of my territory."

Sky Beast stretched his sturdy palm towards Fan Mingxiu and made a slight squeezing motion, causing Fan Mingxiu to feel his blood churn and his body temperature rapidly escalate.

His corpse puppets behind him screamed and burst into flames, turning into giant torches.

"You!" Fan Mingxiu looked at Sky Beast in both shock and rage, but sensing the change in his body’s temperature, he didn’t dare to stay and quickly retreated.

Only after he was well out of the Spirit Cave did his body’s temperature return to normal.

Looking at the charred remains of his corpse puppets, his expression turned even uglier.

The world had changed, the spiritual energy of the world had surged, and cultivators became far more numerous and powerful than before.

With the emergence of many prodigies, many once-prominent masters had been caught up to, surpassed, and even eliminated.

Fan Mingxiu knew this meant that many former strong individuals had only seemed superior due to their background, luck, or apprenticeship, getting an early chance at cultivation, but their actual talent relative to all of humanity might not be particularly impressive.

So when countless people from both realms were rapidly progressing amidst the surge of spiritual energy, gaining the opportunity to cultivate, the formerly mediocre masters would be overtaken by those ordinary people they used to look down upon.

But what Fan Mingxiu did not expect was that he would experience such a setback himself.

A trace of bitterness appeared on Fan Mingxiu’s face, "Never mind, the president’s orders are more important."

"Let this madman investigate the attack on the Spirit Cave if he wants to."

As he thought, Fan Mingxiu looked at the photo on his phone and muttered, "Ma Hong... this guy used to be an elder of the Zhou Tian Sect, but later he joined Lin Xing’s ranks."

"Unexpectedly, Jing Shiyu left such a person behind in East Sea City. He’s been hidden for so long that even I didn’t notice him. He might have some useful information on him."
