Luofeng Mountain, true to its na, is not large but quite peculiar. From the sky, it looks like a giant phoenix, as if this phoenix has fallen to the ground, hence the na Luofeng Mountain.
There is also a legend about Luofeng Mountain that speaks of a Divine Phoenix descending from the Immortal World in ancient tis and leaving a mark on this mountain range, thereby creating Luofeng Mountain. This legend gives the place an ethereal feel, and the martial artists of later generations cling to this belief, hoping that a true Immortal Path exists, promising immortality. To them, who face life and death without regret and endure hardship, this legend offers hope. A person without hope might as well be dead; it’s a form of suffering.
A hunched figure, emanating a trace of sinister aura, appeared on Luofeng Mountain. Looking around, he murmured, "Why hasn’t that guy arrived yet? Didn’t we agree on this ti?"
This person was Bai Song’s grandfather, Bai Yanwu, the foremost loose cultivator in the Ancient Martial World, possessing the cultivation battle power of an early-stage Martial Saint, extrely powerful. Bai Yanwu chose to collaborate with the Blood Killing Organization because he knew they had an extraordinarily profound background. He wanted to rely on them to find the three fragnts of the Ancient Transmission Array, so he could leave Earth and enter the real Martial Arts World, seizing a chance against the heavens. Bai Yanwu, having lived to the age of one thousand and one, found his martial arts cultivation could no longer breakthrough, and increasingly felt his life’s essence energy depleting. Afraid that in a few years, he’d reach his end, he could only transform through Taoism and not survive. Hence, venturing beyond to the Martial Arts Great World was his opportunity. He would even collaborate with the Blood Killing Organization, not rushing to save his only grandson taken by Ye Tianchen, but continuing to seek the third missing piece of the Ancient Transmission Array.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Yin Dao appeared, walking out from the void, his whole body wrapped in a black robe.
"You’re half an hour late. We should destroy the Zhantai family and seize the third fragnt of the Ancient Transmission Array before it gets dark." Bai Yanwu said coldly.
"The Zhantai family?" Ye Tianchen was startled in his heart; why did this family’s na sound so familiar, yet he couldn’t pinpoint it at once.
"That’s right, after probing and confirming from several sides, the third fragnt of the Ancient Transmission Array has indeed fallen into the hands of the Zhantai family and is hidden by them. The Zhantai family, a hidden family in the Song Mountain’s Ancient Martial World, is a cultivation family passed down from ancient tis. However, their strength has waned to the extre, so even if they have so foundation, with our strength, exterminating the entire Zhantai family should pose no problem. But it’s best done before dawn." Bai Yanwu nodded.
"Why?" Ye Tianchen pondered why the na Zhantai family seed familiar, so much so that he didn’t pay attention to Bai Yanwu’s words and just asked casually.
"Hmm?" Bai Yanwu frowned, looking at Ye Tianchen, feeling sothing odd. Suddenly, he extended a powerful divine thought towards Ye Tianchen. Startled, Ye Tianchen snapped back but did not resist, letting Bai Yanwu probe. Given this old man’s strong defense chanism, resistance would arouse his suspicion, and killing him now was not an option. He needed this old man to lead him to the third piece of the Ancient Transmission Array.
"I’m saying, with our cultivation, destroying such a cultivation family isn’t difficult. Even if they have so foundation, hidden strength, we can seize the Ancient Transmission Array fragnt without haste, right?" Ye Tianchen pretended to stay calm and said.
Bai Yanwu glanced at Ye Tianchen, then retracted his powerful divine thought, apparently not finding anything amiss with the shadow blade in front of him. The Bone Transformation Skill was truly extraordinarily powerful. Ye Tianchen breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t afraid of clashing with this old fox Bai Yanwu; he wanted to kill him right now. With his early-stage Martial Saint realm’s battle power, he could match Bai Yanwu in a fight. But now, he needed to use Bai Yanwu to find the third piece of the Ancient Transmission Array, otherwise, he wouldn’t waste a word on this venomous old man.
"I’ve investigated the Zhantai family’s strength. It’s a cultivation family handed down from ancient tis, hidden on an ancient mountain in the Song Mountain’s Ancient Martial World. Though once ancestral, the family has survived several near-extinction events, barely hanging on, leaving them with no significant foundation. Destroying this family won’t be difficult for us. However, many in the three major Ancient Martial Worlds, those ancient folks hidden away, are also eyeing the Ancient Transmission Array fragnt. Its appearance may prompt them to act, potentially causing significant trouble for us. Hence, exterminating the entire Zhantai family, seizing the third fragnt, and hiding our identities before dark is the best approach." Bai Yanwu spoke nonchalantly, as if annihilating a cultivation family, killing nurous people, ant nothing significant to him.
"Alright, let’s set off!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.
Swish!
Bai Yanwu disappeared, vanishing into the sky. Ye Tianchen paused montarily. The na of the Zhantai family continuously gave him a sense of familiarity, yet he couldn’t recall where he’d heard it. After brief contemplation, Ye Tianchen transford into a golden light and chased after Bai Yanwu. He dared not delay too long. Even though the Bone Transformation Skill was extraordinarily powerful and Bai Yanwu couldn’t see through it, he still had to be cautious not to arouse suspicion.
Ye Tianchen used the "Bone Transformation Technique" to change into the appearance of Yin Dao and went to Fallen Phoenix Mountain to et with Bai Yanwu. Bai Yanwu did not see through Ye Tianchen’s true identity. The Bone Transformation Technique is very powerful, which made Ye Tianchen even more confident. As long as he and Bai Yanwu find the third fragnt of the Ancient Transmission Array, then he can kill this vicious old man.
Following behind Bai Yanwu, Ye Tianchen discovered that Bai Yanwu seed to be manipulating qi for flight, circling around a place until he completed three full circles. Then Bai Yanwu stopped and said while looking at a not very high mountain peak below: "It’s there. I just circled three tis and have set a formation. We need to annihilate the entire Zhantai family. Not a single fly should be allowed to escape, otherwise, if word gets out, those old guys in the Ancient Martial World coveting the Transmission Array fragnt will hunt us down. It would be very troubleso at that ti."
"Alright!" Ye Tianchen said in a deep voice.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Bai Yanwu and Ye Tianchen landed at the gates of the Zhantai family’s sect. They easily broke through the hidden formation surrounding the Zhantai family, showing that the Zhantai family, despite being a cultivation family inherited from Ancient Tis, had already reached a point of extrely weakened strength. Otherwise, they wouldn’t let Bai Yanwu and Ye Tianchen easily stand at the Zhantai family’s doorstep without anyone noticing them break through the hidden formation.
"Who are you?" Two young martial artists rushed out from the Zhantai family’s gate and loudly questioned Bai Yanwu and Ye Tianchen.
"Tell your family head to hand over the fragnt of the Ancient Transmission Array, or else the whole Zhantai family will be eliminated!" Bai Yanwu said coldly.
"Arrogant!"
"Take this!"
Bang!
Bai Yanwu struck first despite being behind, leaving the two martial artists of the Zhantai family without even the chance to retaliate, turning them into a waft of blood mist. He killed two unrelated people without blinking and then looked at Ye Tianchen and said: "Your Blood Killing Organization specializes in killing skills. Why don’t we watch your performance next?"
"What more is there to say? Just kill our way in. Should we split paths and et at the center?" Ye Tianchen glanced at Bai Yanwu as he asked.
"Alright!" Bai Yanwu disappeared while speaking, rushing into the Zhantai family.
Ye Tianchen walked towards the Zhantai family gate, without using the Qi Manipulation Flying Technique. He didn’t want to kill anyone from this family since he had no grievance or enmity with them. He wouldn’t kill innocents indiscriminately. Even if the third fragnt of the Ancient Transmission Array was in the hands of this family, Ye Tianchen would obtain it in a different manner, as bloodshed was not his style.
Along the way, Ye Tianchen encountered so martial artists from the Zhantai family. Naturally, they hated the invader and would do anything to try and kill Ye Tianchen. However, given Ye Tianchen’s current cultivation at the Martial Sacred Initial Stage, in the three major Ancient Martial Worlds, there are very few who could fight him. Facing their desperate attacks, Ye Tianchen rely blocked their attacks and knocked them unconscious without taking their lives.
When Ye Tianchen reached the central area of the Zhantai family, he saw a stone house at the center. Inside, the ground was covered with bloodstains and corpses. Bai Yanwu’s hands were stained with fresh blood, standing before a middle-aged man and an elder from the Zhantai family. Bai Yanwu’s cultivation level was profound and extrely ruthless. Coming all the way through, he didn’t know how much blood his hands had stained.
"You have one last chance. Hand over the fragnt of the Transmission Array and kneel before to die, or else you’ll be utterly destroyed!" Bai Yanwu said in a domineering manner. (To be continued.
