Shen Shou welcomed Zhang Xiongwu into the inner hall and sat down at the head of the table. Everyone came to toast and flatter him. Zhang Xiongwu didn't refuse and praised the Abandoned Sword Villa a few times. Shen Shou was so excited that his face was flushed and he was in a good mood.
Qiu Yinxuan frowned and discussed with Qiu Zhenjun. "I've never heard that the Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue has anything to do with the new power of Moon Decapitation. Did Shen Zhenyi join them?"
Qiu Zhenjun's face was pale as he said worriedly, "Dad, our plan today …"
Qiu Yinxuan waved his hand. "Keep quiet!"
There were many people here, so they couldn't speak carelessly. He looked around and pulled his son to the outer room. Then, he said in a low voice, "We won't stop until the end. How can we stop now that things have come to this?"
For the sake of this plan, Moon Worshipping Cave had sacrificed an elder, and another elder was gravely injured. Moreover, that thing had already been lured to the vicinity. Wei Yuanbao must have also spread medicinal bait throughout Abandoned Sword Manor. There was no way out.
"But …" Qiu Zhenjun was still a bit scared. "The Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue is here. What if he tries to stop us?"
"He won't."
Qiu Yinxuan shook his head resolutely. "The Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue won't make a move outside of the ten-year protection period. Besides, even if he does, he might not be able to stop that monster. Why should he humiliate himself? "
He looked up at the brightly lit Abandoned Sword Villa and sneered. "Normal people will turn around and run when they see that thing. But today, the people of the Abandoned Sword Villa can't run, and the Third Young Master Shen can't run either. I want to see what kind of ability he has to withstand it! "
The reason why they chose to take action today was because it was the most critical day for the Abandoned Sword Villa.
No matter what happened today, Shen Zhenyi had no choice but to fight to the death for the sake of the villa's face.
— That would mean that he would die without a doubt!
Qiu Yinxuan smelled the faint rotting smell in the air, and a terrifying smile appeared on his face.
"It's about time."
Shen Zhenyi was sitting peacefully in the Dreaming House.
He looked at the clear sky in the south. Clouds were rising in spirals, and there were wild geese tossing and turning in bed, letting out waves of mournful cries.
Suddenly, a flock of startled magpies flew up into the sky. There was a rustling sound in the distant forest, and the earth suddenly trembled slightly.
"What happened?"
In the lobby of the Abandoned Sword Villa, the sensitive experts also felt that the atmosphere was not right. Zhang Xiongwu's complexion changed slightly as he stood up.
"This is …"
Even a dignified Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue like him couldn't help but speak with a slightly trembling voice.
Dong!
Dong!
The ground shook more and more violently, and the cups on the table began to jingle and sway. The windows slammed against the edge of the window, making a patter sound, as if a storm was coming.
However, there was no wind in all directions.
There was no wind at all.
"It's … that thing?"
King Dalong Of Zhao's expression also changed greatly. He never thought that the Abandoned Sword Villa would encounter such a great calamity today.
Shen Shou was still confused. Zhang Xiongwu frowned and said in a low voice, "Everyone, let's go out and take a look."
He took the lead and walked out to inquire, looking toward the south where the sound was coming from.
A huge humanoid shadow was blocking the sunlight. It was slowly but firmly walking in this direction. Even from a distance, one could see that it was at least sixty to seventy feet tall. Its body was covered with golden hair, and its eyes were shining. There was a long horn on its head, and the tip of the horn was refracting a dazzling light.
A thick black aura lingered around its body. This was a baleful aura that could kill. Ordinary people couldn't even get within thirty feet of this monster!
"Heavenly Fiend … Strange Beast!"
King Dalong Of Zhao's low roar sounded like a groan.
The Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast was a vicious beast that was rarely seen in a hundred years. Its body carried a strong aura of defeat, and it liked to appear when others were celebrating. Then … it would slaughter everyone, bringing disaster and fear.
Every time it appeared, it represented a heavenly fiend.
Originally prosperous families could be destroyed because of it.
Originally powerful countries could be destroyed because of it!
"How can such a thing exist?"
Zhang Xiongwu frowned even more. He came to the Abandoned Sword Villa today purely because he was curious about Shen Zhenyi. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
He thought for a while and decided that he couldn't just stand by and watch.
"I'll think of a way to lure it away!"
Zhang Xiongwu tapped the tip of his foot and rose into the air. He flew toward the Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast from afar. Although everyone was afraid of the monster's power, they couldn't let their distinguished guest face the enemy alone. Shen Shou, Granny Chi Huo, King Dalong Of Zhao, and the others braced themselves and followed.
Along the way, King Dalong Of Zhao explained to Shen Shou and the others how terrifying the Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast was.
Shen Shou already felt that this monster had a terrifying oppressive aura. Now that he heard it, he was even more terrified. According to what King Dalong Of Zhao knew, this kind of monster hadn't appeared in Feilan State for at least five hundred years. Why did it appear at this time?
When Shen Zhenyi led Cynanchum Chinense, Princess Long, and Yunnxia to Dream Sword Villa, the people who should have greeted them had already run to the entrance of the Abandoned Sword Villa. There was only a group of frightened onlookers in the lobby — and a few people who were gloating.
Qiu Yinxuan sneered, "The Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast came to attack the Abandoned Sword Villa after ten years. It seems that people from the Land of Nine Serenities are really unlucky. Otherwise, why would they encounter the Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast on this day?"
Qiu Zhenjun supported his father, "Of course, the Land of Nine Serenities is full of bad luck. Even if the Third Young Master Shen has some swordsmanship, how can he withstand the power of the Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast? I think it's better to leave quickly and give up on the Abandoned Sword Villa so that we can start afresh! "
When they saw Shen Zhenyi coming over, they didn't try to avoid him. Instead, they raised their voices even higher.
Shen Zhenyi smiled indifferently and didn't care at all.
Cynanchum Chinense angrily glared at him and shouted, "Old Man Qiu, what nonsense are you talking about? What Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast? My master can definitely kill it with one strike of his sword! "
Her words caused an uproar in the hall.
After the appearance of the Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast, many people's thoughts changed. They felt that the Abandoned Sword Villa might not be able to escape this time, so they immediately changed their attitude.
"The Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast is full of baleful aura. Just now, even Revered Envoy Zhang didn't have the confidence to deal with it. The Third Young Master Shen is really arrogant! "
"He has been arrogant for a long time. How would he know about the various strange things in the World of Eight Cultivators?"
"Why don't you go? You'll be lucky if you don't get slapped to death by the Heavenly Fiend Strange Beast!"
Everyone kept mocking him, but Shen Zhenyi turned a deaf ear to them. He was slightly surprised, "Zhang Xiongwu went out to meet the enemy?"
Before he could finish speaking, a rumbling sound was heard as a big hole appeared in the dome of the hall. Someone fell from the sky and fell to the ground, smashing a lot of tables and chairs.
— It was the Eighth Cultivator of Eight Cultivators they had just mentioned, Zhang Xiongwu!
