The Demon Ancestor’s resurrection was imminent. Yao Mengying’s whereabouts were unknown—definitely related to it. So even though Jun Changxiao didn’t want to get involved, he had to rush over. After all, his disciples were greater than heaven in his heart.
Logically, the phenomenon had just risen not long ago. Even if the girl used the Seven-Colored Dazzling Wings, she shouldn’t have flown too far. Yet after chasing for a long time, he still hadn’t caught up.
“Not right!”
Jun Changxiao furrowed his brow.
With the Tonggu Warship’s speed activated and spiritual sense constantly spreading, he still couldn’t find Yao Mengying. This was truly strange—unless… she didn’t take the normal route there, or she wasn’t going west.
“Hall Master Li.”
Jun Changxiao transmitted his voice: “Quickly dispatch Drizzle Hall members to search in different directions.”
“Received.”
Li Luoqiu, back at the Eternal Ages Sect, received the transmission and immediately dispatched Li Shangtian and others to fly out from the Eternal Ages Immortal Mountain, searching for the missing Yao Mengying.
Jun Changxiao didn’t change direction, continuing westward. In his heart, he firmly believed his disciple’s departure must be related to this thing. As long as he reached the destination, perhaps he could find her.
…
“Thud!”
Outside a forbidden land that didn’t deserve a name, Ye Xingchen strode out from inside. Due to side effects, his skin remained blood-red.
“A treasure emerging?”
Looking up, discovering the western black light shooting skyward phenomenon, his eyes flickered with excitement.
He had left the sect to gain experience. Now that a special situation appeared, Ah Niu naturally became interested.
“Swoosh!”
The seven-colored wings spread, transforming into streaming light as he flew over.
Everyone craved opportunities—the proud Ye Xingchen was no exception.
However, after flying for several hours, he unexpectedly discovered an extremely familiar seven-colored glow in the firmament. He was quite astonished: “Junior Sister Yao?”
No mistake.
Flying ahead was indeed Yao Mengying.
She wasn’t heading toward the western black light shooting skyward, but rather southwest—no wonder Jun Changxiao hadn’t found her, since the routes were completely different.
“Why is she alone?” Ye Xingchen’s brow slightly furrowed.
Within the Eternal Ages Sect, Yao Mengying was the junior sister most doted on by fellow disciples. Moreover, she had just recently inherited the Innate Sacred Demon Body and was regarded as the apple of the Sect Master’s eye. How could he permit her to come out alone?
Not right!
The situation’s not right!
At this moment, Ah Niu’s intelligence came online. He hurriedly accelerated his flight, successfully intercepting Yao Mengying: “Junior Sister, where are you going?”
“Whoosh!”
The person bypassed him.
“…”
Ye Xingchen’s brow furrowed even tighter.
As Yao Mengying bypassed him, he clearly captured that her eyes flickered with red light, as if controlled by some kind of power!
Despite Ah Niu being called the Eternal Ages True Fragrance Emperor, he still had basic intelligence. He immediately became even more certain the situation was wrong, so he chased after her again, frantically tagging: “Junior Sister, what’s wrong with you!”
Not only did Yao Mengying not respond, her flight speed actually accelerated.
Something’s strange!
Stop her!
“Whoosh—”
Ye Xingchen hurriedly accelerated forward. After surpassing Yao Mengying, he stood in her path and said, “Junior Sister, come back to the sect with me!”
“Get lost!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Cold palm wind suddenly pressed over.
“Boom!”
Ye Xingchen staggered to the ground, his expression gradually becoming grave.
Those two words “get lost” when spoken carried a cold and heavy tone—clearly not his junior sister’s voice. Obviously, she might be controlled by some power!
Could it be… someone was controlling Junior Sister’s body?
“Hey, hey.”
Ye Xingchen hurriedly contacted the nearest Drizzle Hall members through voice transmission: “I’m Ye Xingchen. Quickly notify the sect—Junior Sister Yao Mengying seems to be controlled by some power and is heading alone toward the southwest!”
While sending the message, he had already caught up.
In terms of strength, Ah Niu was stronger than Yao Mengying. He could forcibly control her and bring her back to the sect, but doing so might hurt her, so he could only follow behind and observe the situation.
The Drizzle Hall’s intelligence organization had developed quite well these past few years. Nearby members progressively transmitted the message to the Eternal Ages Sect. After Li Luoqiu learned of it, she immediately notified Jun Changxiao.
“Why is it in the southwest?”
“Whoosh—”
The Tonggu Warship changed course, flying at extreme speed toward the southwest.
Although Dog Sheng really wanted to go see the Demon Ancestor’s resurrection—perhaps there’d be a chance to obtain the reconstructed physical body—now that he knew his disciple’s location, he naturally had to ensure her safety first. After all, Ah Niu said she seemed to be controlled by some power.
Moreover.
This phenomenon’s appearance also alarmed so many demonic cultivators. The situation was probably more serious than when the Demonic Fate Land opened, so he immediately ordered the War Cavalry Hall Pioneer Regiment to mobilize.
“Assemble!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Outside the War Cavalry Hall, the Pioneer Regiment members lined up ready to go. Under Regiment Commander Zhong Yi’s command, they all summoned their Dark Destroyers in unison, entering the cockpits with uniform movements.
“Woom!”
“Woom!”
A thousand mechs instantly activated, eyes flashing brilliant light. Various energies stacked together, immediately forming layers of qi waves.
Auto-generate the special effects—too lazy to describe them.
“Unit Two, in position.”
“Unit Three, in position.”
“…”
After hearing his subordinates report successively, Zhong Yi in Unit One looked from the cockpit at several members outside on the runway waving command batons. He immediately pushed the lever and shouted, “Depart!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
The two turbine-like drive devices on the back immediately emitted light. Mechs glided along the ground one after another, until reaching the runway’s end where they traced arcs flying into the firmament, then uniformly opened their Seven-Colored Dazzling Wings!
Mechs and shop items perfectly combined.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
In an instant, streams of light carrying seven-colored glows flew out from the Eternal Ages Immortal Mountain, presenting a scene like a locust plague.
“The War Cavalry Hall’s Pioneer Regiment is mobilizing?”
“Something big is happening!”
Many outer sect disciples watched the scene unfolding in the sky, their eyes immediately showing envious luster.
This was a traditional martial dao world, but under Jun Changxiao’s gradual influence, they all established the notion that real men should pilot mechs!
“My god!”
“So many monsters!”
A thousand Dark Destroyers flew through the firmament, forming tremendous momentum that immediately alarmed nearby martial artists.
Similar scenes had been seen before, but this was the first time so many appeared!
…
Southwest direction.
After flying for half an hour, Yao Mengying descended into a desolate mountain valley.
The ground here was paved with stone slabs. Standing on them were eight black-robed people, all with heads lowered—impossible to tell if they were male or female.
“You’ve come a bit late.”
Several martial artists also wearing black robes and masks walked out from the darkness.
“The Demon Ancestor’s resurrection is imminent. We can’t waste time. Quickly set up the forbidden formation,” one black-clothed person spoke, voice slightly sinister and aged.
“Yes!”
The others quickly separated, standing in different positions, beginning to condense strange power at their fingertips to sketch patterns on the stone slabs.
“Woom woom woom!”
In an instant, a formation barrier-like structure appeared, gradually gathering a vortex entrance directly ahead.
“You all.”
The black-clothed person with the aged voice said indifferently, “Enter.”
“Thud!”
The black-robed person standing closest to the vortex lifted his foot and walked forward. Throughout the entire process, his head remained lowered, feeling somewhat like a walking corpse.
One.
Two.
Three…
After all eight people entered, just as Yao Mengying was about to step forward, a large hand suddenly landed on her shoulder, preventing her from moving.
“Mm?”
Several black-clothed people all looked over.
Ye Xingchen had somehow already appeared behind Yao Mengying. He first forcibly pulled her back, then with a boom planted his Crescent Halberd horizontally at his feet, killing intent overflowing: “Who gave you the audacity to dare control my junior sister?”
Strong, ruthless!
