"You’ve lost."
Xuan Bird stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at the green-robed middle-aged man opposite him.
"Yes, I have lost..."
The green-robed middle-aged man’s face was crestfallen as he slowly descended, landing beside the vermilion coffin.
"Son! Your father is useless. I was defeated this ti."
The green-robed middle-aged man’s eyes reddened, and he choked up as he spoke.
"Father, life and death are decreed by fate, and wealth by Heaven. Besides, I can still live for a few more days, can’t I? There’s no need for you to worry. I will spend my remaining days accompanying you."
The young man in white smiled and extended his hand to gently wipe the tears from the corners of the man’s eyes.
Seeing such a touching scene, Big Black Cat, who was standing to the side, pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.
"As long as you don’t bla your father, it’s alright."
Tears stread down the green-robed middle-aged man’s face as he spoke, bowing his head in sha before his son.
The young man in white withdrew his arm and slowly lay down in the vermilion coffin.
With a slight wave of his hand, the red coffin lid closed over him.
"Let’s go back," the young man in white said softly from inside the coffin.
"Go!"
The green-robed middle-aged man swiftly wiped away his tears and gave a command to the four Life and Death Realm cultivators beside him.
These four Life and Death Realm cultivators lifted the vermilion coffin again and, along with the green-robed middle-aged man, ascended into the air.
In the void, the small vortex appeared once more.
A pillar of light descended, enveloping the five of them.
As the pillar of light vanished, so did they.
"The powerful Nether Immortal Cave... has also been defeated."
The Supre Elder of the XuanYang Saint Sect swallowed hard.
"Indeed. The Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird is too strong. We must act with extre caution from now on," the Supre Elder of Zhengyi Jiann said with a wry smile.
With an invincible figure like the Xuan Bird Ancestor presiding over the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, they would forever have to act subserviently, doing their utmost to curry favor with the sect.
The light shield around Mu Qing disappeared.
Xuan Bird walked over, looked at Mu Qing, and said with a calm smile, "Please, continue."
"Yes, Ancestor!"
After Mu Qing acknowledged, Xuan Bird instantly transford into a streak of black light and flew back to the black carriage above.
Mu Qing quickly walked to the front of the Covert Dragon Coffin.
Big Black Cat looked at Mu Qing and gave an awkward smile. "I’ll get in now."
"Rest assured. With the Master present, nothing will happen," Mu Qing said with a smile.
Big Black Cat stepped forward and lay down inside the Covert Dragon Coffin. Mu Qing then ca forward and gently placed the black coffin lid over him.
Big Black Cat suddenly felt darkness envelop his vision, plunging him into a pitch-black world.
He opened his eyes, looking at the dark coffin lid, and chuckled secretly to himself. Experiencing what it’s like to be dead for the first ti... it’s rather thrilling.
Now that this mission is complete, the Master will definitely reward . It’s just lying in a coffin for a bit, no big deal. Our Dragon God Sect is so powerful; why would we fear a few Coffin Carriers?
Big Black Cat consoled himself in this way.
After Mu Qing closed the coffin lid, she quickly retreated so distance.
At this ti, the Supre Elders and Sect Masters of the other three major sects also descended.
They craned their necks in anticipation, silently waiting for the arrival of the Coffin Carriers.
According to legend, once the Covert Dragon Coffin was closed, the Coffin Carriers would appear near it via Void Throw.
The ti it takes for a stick of incense to burn passed.
The Coffin Carriers did not appear.
The people of the Four Great Sects continued to look up at the void, only able to wait in silence.
"Why haven’t the Coffin Carriers arrived yet? This waiting is making anxious."
The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon raised its head, staring fixedly in the direction of the Covert Dragon Coffin.
It had always thought it would be interesting to watch these mysterious Coffin Carriers take a coffin and bury it in the Dragon Cave. It also wanted to see what the Coffin Carriers would do after they appeared.
Having waited this long in vain, the dragon was beginning to lose patience.
"Don’t worry, they might show up soon," the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon responded calmly.
No sooner had it spoken than a whirlpool materialized in the void. A beam of light erged, and from it, six white-robed figures flew out.
Each of these six white-robed figures wore a mask.
The masks were pitch black, engraved with several dragon patterns.
The six white-robed figures descended from mid-air, landing beside the Covert Dragon Coffin.
The people from the Four Great Sects in the distance looked at these six white-robed figures, their hearts stirred with excitent, yet their faces showed utter shock.
The aura of these six white-robed figures was incredibly powerful, even stronger than that of the green-robed middle-aged man from the Nether Immortal Cave.
"My heavens! With such formidable cultivation bases, they could probably rival a Super Sect, right?" the Supre Elder of the Xuanyang Sect’s eyes flashed as he spoke in a low voice.
"That’s hard to say. The number of Coffin Carriers has always been unknown. Perhaps there are even so at the Eternity Realm. In that case, they could rival a Sky-Level Sect," the Supre Elder of Zhengyi Jiann shrugged and said in a low voice.
While they were discussing this, one of the white-robed figures suddenly glanced their way. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, piercing their very souls. It made the elders’ spirits tremble, and they nearly fainted from shock.
They quickly shut their mouths, daring not to speak rashly again.
The white-robed figure sneered, lowered his head to look at the Covert Dragon Coffin, and after gazing at it silently for a few seconds, suddenly smacked the coffin lid.
SMACK!
The black coffin lid instantly floated up, revealing a black-robed young man lying calmly inside.
The Covert Dragon Coffin could shield Divine Sense, so Big Black Cat had no idea that the Coffin Carriers had suddenly arrived.
The coffin lid abruptly flew open, and the sudden flood of light startled Big Black Cat.
The gazes of the six white-robed figures all converged on the black-robed young man in the coffin.
They scrutinized Big Black Cat unabashedly, as if inspecting him for sothing.
The leading white-robed figure coughed suddenly and said coldly, "Your cultivation base is passable, but your body is healthy and shows no signs of impending death. You do not et the conditions for burial in the Dragon Cave."
"Not eting the conditions?"
Big Black Cat was instantly stunned.
He had been lying in the coffin for so long, only for the Coffin Carriers to tell him he wasn’t qualified. Are they going to make get out?
Witnessing this, Mu Qing, who was watching from a distance, was also stunned. She hadn’t expected the Coffin Carriers to have such a standard.
In the carriage, Ye Yun heard the Coffin Carrier’s words and grew thoughtful. He gently flicked his finger, and Big Black Cat’s body instantly underwent a peculiar transformation.
Big Black Cat imdiately sensed this change and understood. His Master was making adjustnts to his body.
"I’m... I’m really dying..." Big Black Cat coughed twice, speaking feebly.
"You’re not dying. Get out quickly and let soone else in," the leading white-robed figure spoke coldly.
"You must have misjudged earlier. My body truly is failing; I don’t have many days left. If you don’t believe , please, examine again."
Big Black Cat raised his face, assuming a pitiful, dying expression.
This white-robed figure was ticulous. After a slight frown, he extended his Divine Sense, which enveloped Big Black Cat.
After this examination, a look of astonishnt also appeared in his eyes.
Just monts ago, this young man’s physique was robust, his vital energy abundant, with not the slightest issue.
How could his body have suddenly deteriorated to this state? Could it be... had we truly misjudged earlier?
