Desert Eagle King’s City
They finally found the place where the air was distorted. The sand blown to the barrier would course down the rippling barrier to the ground. The only things visible from the outside were bizarre silhouettes drifting past.
Greater Heaven Caster Lu scrutinised the barrier carefully prior to firing a blue formation pattern into it. “The formation rejects foreign formations. This is going to be tough.”
Greater Heaven Caster Lu imbued his evoked formation patterns on his hand and finger slashed the barrier. The effect seen was identical to slashing water. He stepped back and scrunched his face up. “Feng Mu, it’s dangerous. Wait for me here.”
“Didn’t you just say you could protect your assistant? What happened to all the big talk?” Zhou Jinglin taunted, walking in with his assistant.
“Greater Heaven Caster Lu, please do not worry. I will stick close to you. We cannot allow Talisman Sect to walk all over us. If I stay here, they will have another item to mock us for.” Mu Yu was keen to see Greater Heaven Caster Lu defuse the formation. Plus, he just wanted to see Celestial Star Sect miserable.
“… All right. Tian Budai downplayed the danger involved. You must obey every instruction I give you, understood?”
Mu Yu nodded. Greater Heaven Caster Lu patted Mu Yu on the shoulder and took the first step inside.
On the other side of the barrier was a city engulfed in darkness, seated beneath scarlet clouds and exuding the stench of blood. To say it was a large city wasn’t enough to do its size justice. The city doors’ fierce eagle was arguably the most memorable image. The eagle wanted to soar to the sky, but the city door was its prison. Its intent stare intimidated foreigners, while the voices ringing in the uncanny sky were akin to its vexed cries. The four characters on the door was the fiend race’s text.
If only Qiao Xue was here, silently bemoaned Mu Yu. Instantly, the dragon vine told Mu Yu, “It reads, ‘Desert Eagle King’s City’.”
“Since when did you learn the fiend’s language, Big Earthworm? You’re not even a fiend.”
“Can you shut up? I wasn’t speaking to you, Rodent.”
“Takes an ugly to read ugly text.”
Xiaoshuai’s insult failed because the dragon vine had no concept of aesthetics, so it wasn’t offended. It replied, “I just do know it. I believe I’m older than Desert Eagle Fiend King.”
“Nearly had me. Not. You didn’t even have a mind of your own before you evolved into a dragon. At most, you’re three years old.”
“I’ve been alive for ten thousand years.”
“Basically, what you’re saying is that even hell refused you entry.”
“Fight me right now!”
Greater Heaven Caster Lu halted and indicated for Mu Yu to come closer. Greater Heaven Caster Lu scooped up moist soil. Moist soil in a desert didn’t sound right. Greater Heaven Caster Lu cast a formation onto the soil and scattered something into the air with his free hand. He warned, “Be careful. The formation has gone berserk. I have a hunch that it isn’t a natural formation; I suspect somebody deliberately cast the chaotic formation. From what I can tell, the caster isn’t too advanced. If I’m correct, his intent was to defuse the formation, not to sabotage the formation.”
“Could Star Celestial Sect have been the ones who attempted to dismantle it?”
“I can’t say with certainty. In saying that, I am positive they are withholding information. I hypothesise the formation was designed to ward off foreigners. By some luck, it’s now evolved into a wild formation that’s even more fearsome.”
Clutch! Something came out from the ground and grabbed the foot Mu Yu just took a step with. It turned out to be a hand that hadn’t decayed. The cold qi from it invaded Mu Yu’s body, but his black and white spiritual energy swiftly deleted it. Greater Heaven Caster Lu quickly turned the formation in his hand into a flying sword to severe the hand.
“This is called Yin Corpse Formation, the ancient fiends’ favourite japing tool. In a nutshell, they use corpses for the formation.”
Greater Heaven Caster Lu took Mu Yu up into the air with him. Down below were thousands of hands digging their way out of the dirt. Very soon, the corpses crawled out of the ground. Among the corpses were humans, fiends and big fiend beasts. The corpses had yet to decay, and some had their eyeballs still. Their heads’ flesh was removed, but hair stuck to their skulls. Thanks to whatever sorcery, they didn’t have a grain of soil on them despite the ground being moist. Their clothes were tattered due to the time that had past. Having said that, six of them still had new clothing, albeit filthy with blood.
The six corpses in new clothing were Star Celestial Sect’s disciples. Half of their head was swiped off, leaving blood stains from the wounds. Whatever was inside their skull had been dug out. There were two gaping holes in their chests, showing their missing hearts. Judging from the other wounds on them, they were slashed and gnawed.
Astonishingly, the corpses’ cultivation levels remained. At a gander, there were, at least, over a hundred Body Severing Realm corpses, level five fiend beats and over twenty Spirit Severing Realm corpses. Both Greater Heaven Caster Lu and Zhou Jinglin were startled. They, too, were Spirit Severing Realm cultivators.
“Let’s leave!” Greater Heaven Caster Lu took off with Mu Yu.
The yin corpses vaulted into the sky and surrounded the four!
