Devil Lair
A sky-shrouding beast sped with red eyes and crescent pupils raced through the forest. The forest was dark as black; not a single ray of light seeped through. The air was cold and spooky. Yang Tian watched the beast descend. He used Rule power to manifest a large hand, scaring the beast. The beast quivered and pleaded, “Please spare me …”
Yang Tian leapt onto the beast’s back and indifferently demanded, “Take me to Devil Mountain!”
“What? Senior, there is no coming back from there. I suggest you go somewhere else.”
“Keep talking and your head will roll.”
Hesitant, the fear of death strangled it. It spread its wins and took off before Yang Tian actually killed it.
Yang Tian touched his nose and peered into the distance. He saw a dark mountain range, towering trees, corpses and bones. There was a creepy red veil. He was glad to see the violent energy coming from Devil Mountain because he could utilise Twelve Universes Killing Formation again using the violent energy. He wanted to trap the entire mountain within the formation.
Beast: “Senior, I think we should turn back. This place is scary.”
An elder sitting in the sky suddenly emerged and whipped a black whip to warn the two to go away. The beast was scared.
“How dare you?!” belted Yang Tian, in a female voice.
The elder opened his eyes and quickly knelt down. “Your subject apologises. He did not know it was you, Second Divine Daughter.”
The elder’s real body must’ve been at Spirit Realm.
Yang Tian was happy to know his prediction was correct. He sternly said, “I have urgent business, so I shall spare you for today!”
“Thank you for your benevolence, Second Divine Daughter.”
The elder wondered why their adept would be circling above instead of entering the formation.
Boom! The sound came from Devil Mountain. He looked up to see a human youth fleeing. Yang Tian thundered, “How dare you?! Kill him!”
“Yes, Second Divine Daughter.” The elder gave chase as he was told to.
The fleeing youth suddenly halted and looked back at the elder with an ambiguous smile. The elder felt something was odd. Yang Tian commanded, “What are you just standing there for?! Get him!”
The elder did as he was told. A large hand imbued with Rule power suddenly charged toward him after he took a few steps. He donned black energy, but the hand caught him in a prison. The beast Yang Tian rode was stupefied.
“Second Divine Daughter, what are you…” The elder had a closer look of the youth. “You’re not Second Divine Daughter. Who are you?”
“Hmph, that’s none of your business.”
Yang Tian squeezed the prison. The elder grunted until he was splattered. Yang Tian commanded, “Collect.” He collected the elder’s Divine Soul. He stored it inside Ancestral Dragon Ring. He needed more information to infiltrate. The girl’s body was only his clone, and he couldn’t search her memories. He assumed he could search the elder’s memories since the elder came from the mountain.
Yang Tian transformed into the elder.
Yang Xiao said, “There’s an underground palace on the mountain. The elder was the guardian. He doesn’t know much about it, but he does know the prison and the girl’s palace.”
Yang Tian clenched his fists. It was all or nothing! He took off through the void. He took out a diagram, drawing the violent energy toward it. Before he left, he patted the beast on the head. “Stay here if you want a chance.”
“Chance… chance… Toss it. I’m in!” declared the beast.
