Chapter 754: Virtuous Deeds Will Be Rewarded
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Did you think that after suffering losses several times, we would allow it to continue?”
The leader of the men in black laughed out loud. He was an Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioner but was not nervous at all upon encountering a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner. Instead, he had a mocking look on his face.
“This time, our goal is indeed Wang Qinghan, but we have another more important goal. That goal is to teach your Huatian Palace a lesson and to tell you that the Huatian Palace will not be smug for long. Sooner or later, this world will be ours.”
The previous few missions of the Ghost Lair had all failed, resulting in severe losses. They had long since found out that it was the work of the Huatian Palace. This time, they had been ready, coming well-prepared.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of Huatian Palace ancient martial art practitioners changed drastically. Could it be that the members of the Ghost Lair had already known that they would come, and thus set up an ambush for them to fall into?
“Senior Fu Qing, your orders?”
A Vermillion Bird Palace Hall female Five-star Executor looked at the Six-star Executor leader with a serious expression. In this Huatian Palace Five star Executor team, clearly she was the leader.
“Retreat!” Granny Fu Qing did not think twice. After uttering that one word, her body suddenly exploded with a terrifying aura. She swept the surrounding Huatian Palace Five star Executors away. In the blink of an eye, they had flown a few hundred meters, heading towards the city center.
The expressions of the other Vermillion Bird Palace Hall Five star Executors changed drastically. They had not expected that Granny Fu Qing’s reaction would be so sensitive. She was a Huatian Palace Six star Executor and an existence at the Golden Elixir Realm. Who knew how many missions she had carried out before? And yet, she had actually run after the other party had spoken once.
“Senior Fu Qing, aren’t you being too wary? They may have been bluffing,” a woman wearing a mask with a graceful figure and carrying a long saber in her hand said. She was none other than the Invisible Saber Demon, who had previously fought against Mo Wen in the Vermillion Bird challenge ring.
Back then, Invisible Saber Demon was just a step away from the Embryonic Breathing Realm and was working diligently to break through the barrier. Right now, she had successfully broken through to the Embryonic Breathing Realm. Her cultivation had progressed by a huge step once again.
“Retreat immediately, the quicker the better.”
Granny Fu Qing activated all her Inner Qi, trying her best to drive everyone to fly and escape together speedily. She had been an Executor in the Huatian Palace for more than fifty years. How many missions had she completed and how many dangers had she experienced to live to this day? She depended not just on her ability but also her observational skills and her keen perception.
From the expressions of the members of the Ghost Lair, she could tell that they indeed had nothing to fear, and it was more serious than she had imagined.
She had not expected that the members of the Ghost Lair had actually managed to respond so quickly, setting up an ambush earlier.
Not long ago, the Huatian Palace received news that the Ghost Lair’s movements had increased and their activities were very frequent. Also, there was a large number of women going missing, and all of them were connected to the Ghost Lair.
Not long after, the Huatian Palace had marked the Ghost Lair. They had confirmed that the Ghost Lair was indeed carrying out some activities, and were also searching and capturing some women with special traits at a large scale. As for what was their goal, the Huatian Palace had yet to determine it.
The Ghost Lair’s previous few kidnapping plans had indeed been discovered by the Huatian Palace. They were later stopped and foiled.
But from the time they had discovered the Huatian Palace and their response now, it had only been two days. Even the Huatian Palace had not expected that the Ghost Lair would respond so quickly.
Wang Qinghan looked in surprise at the Huatian Palace members who had turned tail and fled with an expression that was pale beyond compare. The Executors who represented the Huatian Palace, the high above, mysterious symbol of power, had actually fled!
What had caused them to flee?
Wasn’t the Huatian Palace the ruler of this world? What could cause the members of the Huatian Palace to be afraid? And who dared to make an enemy of the Huatian Palace?
Wang Qinghan instantly felt herself crumbling. The members of the Huatian Palace had actually been scared off. Could it be that she was truly beyond saving?
“Since you have come, why leave now? Don’t you think it’s too late?”
A sinister laugh suddenly sounded from the mountains. The laughter reverberated in the mountains. It was sinister and caused people to feel a shiver down their spines.
Three dark silhouettes appeared in the sky above without a sound or a trace. They had just appeared in the sky when sinister winds blew up. The sinister winds gathered together and formed a mass of dark clouds. It enveloped everyone, including the Huatian Palace members and the members of the Ghost Lair.
The entire world seemed to have instantly transitioned from day into night. The surroundings were dark beyond compare and cold winds blew. Everyone seemed to be enveloped by sinister winds, unable to escape from this place.
“Not good. It’s the Ghost Lair’s Sinister Wind Stratagem. They actually brought along the Sinister Wind stratagem flags.”
Granny Fu Qing’s expression changed drastically. Her eyes were stern to the extreme. Since the Ghost Lair had brought along the Sinister Wind stratagem flags, that meant that for them, they had to succeed for this operation. The Ghost Lair would not give them a chance to run for their lives.
The Sinister Wind Stratagem was a very common stratagem in the Ghost Lair. Normally it could be unleashed with three to five people. It was very convenient and was also a great help in team battles.
But although this sort of Sinister Wind Stratagem was very common in the Ghost Lair, it was impossible for them to use it during ordinary missions. Usually only when against Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners or even in battles of the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm or higher would the Sinister Wind Stratagem be used.
In this group of Huatian Palace Five star Executors, aside from Granny Fu Qing, the rest were all Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners. They would not be able to withstand the Sinister Wind Stratagem at all. For them to still use the Sinister Wind Stratagem under such circumstances, the Ghost Lair certainly did not want to let them live.
In the sky above, the three dark silhouettes emitted powerful auras. The one in the center had the most powerful aura. It was almost comparable to a later stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner. The other two actually also had intermediate stage Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. Even if only one had appeared, with the help of the Sinister Wind Stratagem, it would be very difficult for the Huatian Palace Five star Executors to escape alive.
“Granny Fu Qing, it is such a coincidence that we have encountered you again. I wonder how you will escape this time.” In the sky above, the dark silhouette on the right spoke coldly, seemingly recognizing Granny Fu Qing.
“So it was you.” Fu Qing’s expression was pale. She clenched the iron staff in her hand tightly. Her flesh stiffened.
She recognized the person. She had encountered him on a previous mission. This person had intermediate stage Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. She was no match for him and had barely escaped alive.
“It seems that you are destined to die at my hands. Since I did not kill you last time, I’ll make up for it now.”
The dark silhouette on the right shook slightly and his entire person disappeared from his original spot. The next moment, his silhouette appeared in front of Granny Fu Qing.
A black light lit up and a pale, cold hand reached out from the black light, striking at Granny Fu Qing’s chest furiously.
Guarding against a formidable opponent, Granny Fu Qing pointed the iron staff in her hand forward and unleashed her most powerful magnum opus. An illusion of a white crane appeared before her and furiously charged forwards.
However, the surrounding Sinister Wind Stratagem actually blew her white crane illusion away in a swoosh.
“Cease your desperate struggle. Initially, you were already not a match for me. Inside the Sinister Wind Stratagem, you are even more so.”
Cold laughter sounded. The pale palm directly pierced through, striking onto Granny Fu Qing’s iron staff. It caused the iron staff that was made from pure Cold Iron and weighed a few hundred kilograms to shatter into a few pieces. A powerful force furiously crashed into Granny Fu Qing.
Ptui!
Granny Fu Qing was directly sent flying out. Her face was as white as a sheet. She kept coughing up blood in her mouth.
“Senior Fu Qing.”
One by one, the expressions of the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall Five star Executors changed drastically. They frantically supported Granny Fu Qing with anxious looks in their eyes.
A dignified Huatian Palace Six star Executor and a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner actually could not take a single blow from that person and was already defeated with severe injuries.
“I never thought that I would die like this. I am sorry.”
Granny Fu Qing looked at the Huatian Palace Five star Executors weakly. Their young faces had sighing looks. In this mission, she was the only Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner, so she led the team. Originally, they thought that the members of the Ghost Lair did not have Golden Elixir realm existences among them and could be easily taken down. Hence, the Five-star Executors that she brought along were all considered very young Five-star Executors. The goal was to let them gain more experience and learn from it.
It could be said that aside from her, the rest were all the cream of the crop of the younger generation. They all had the talent to reach the Golden Elixir Realm. If they all died here, the loss would be great.
But currently she was helpless. Who would have thought that a mission that she was originally certain of succeeding would become so dangerous?
Upon hearing this, the group of young Huatian Palace Five star Executors revealed looks of despair.
Wang Qinghan also had a look of despair. A Huatian Palace Six star Executor could not even take one hit. Who had she messed with? Why did such people want to capture her? She was certain that she did not have the ability and it would have been impossible for her to have gone and offended such people.
“Don’t delay. Capture that woman and kill the rest.”
In the sky above, the dark silhouette who was the leader finally spoke. He had just uttered his words when the intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner on his left moved and dashed to kill the Huatian Palace Five star Executors below.
With two intermediate stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners attacking at the same time, it would not take long for all the Huatian Palace Five star Executors to be killed.
“Fight them to the death. Even if we die, we will leave a mark on them,” Invisible Sabre Demon said with a fierce look on her face. She grasped the saber in her hand tightly, preparing to fight to the death at any given moment.
“Yes, fight them to the death. If we can’t kill the Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners, we will kill their Embryonic Breathing Realm underlings. Killing one is enough, killing two is a win.”
“Even if we die, we won’t let you off easy.”
…
In despair, the Huatian Palace female Five-star Executors instead aroused their dangerous sides one by one. Each of them had a look of wanting to fight to the death.
Before the Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners in the sky slaughtered their way over here, they took the initiative to dash towards the Embryonic Breathing Realm men in black, prepared to fight to the death and bring one or two with them.
“Die! Even if I die, I will not end up in your hands.”
Wang Qinghan also flew up, frenziedly charging towards the men in black. Right now, she also realized that there was no escape. If she ended up in the hands of these people, it would not end well for her. Rather than being captured alive, it was better to die fighting now.
“You do not need to die. What a coincidence! It seems that I have not misspoken. You have formed a good relationship. Your virtuous deeds will be rewarded.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded beside her ear. Wang Qinghan was stunned. It was actually him!
