Along the way, Madman Shao briefly explained what had happened. Wutian found out that when he was on his way to the peak of Shadow Mountain, Lei Ming took the opportunity to break into Cave Abode Number 10 and captured Sikong Yanran.
He did not know if it was intentional or not, but he happened to meet Madman Shao in the sky above Shadow City.
Madman Shao was confused and followed them quietly. He realized that they were heading in the direction of the Death Impasse. He did not dare to delay and hurried back to Small Shadow Mountain to report.
"Lei Ming, this despicable person. We should have killed him last time," King Ying said. His long robe was piercingly cold and his killing intent was awe-inspiring.
"With the protection of the Shadow Guardian Commander, Brother Wu was forced to do it last time. But this time, even with the Shadow Guardian Commander, he can forget about coming back alive," King Ying said in a low voice. His previous calmness disappeared without a trace. All that was left was killing intent and ruthlessness.
"The mysterious man asked me to take good care of her. He must have his reasons. No matter what, nothing can happen to Sikong Yanran."
Wutian's face was gloomy. He took out the All Manifestations Token and sent a message to Cang Zheng, instructing her to be careful of the Shadow Guardian Commander.
Four rays of light flashed through the void. Soon, they arrived above a giant mountain.
The giant mountain was tens of thousands of feet high. Behind it was the huge and majestic Shadow City. In front of it was a void, as if it was a primordial land.
When Wutian and the others arrived at the giant mountain, they did not stop. They held their identity tokens and rushed into the void in front of them. In the next moment, a familiar mountain range appeared in their sight. This was the Devil's Mountain Range!
"So Shadow City is covered by a restrictive spell. No wonder I felt the fluctuation of the restrictive spell when I was above Shadow Mountain." Looking at the scenery below, Wutian suddenly realized.
Moreover, Wutian could sense that this was not an ordinary Emperor level restrictive spell. It should be a combination of an Emperor level restrictive spell and an Emperor level illusory spell. An Emperor level restrictive spell!
"This restriction is Old Su's masterpiece. Originally, it was just a single restriction. Later on, it was slowly perfected, and it has already become a restriction that even perfection-stage cultivators can't break through," Madman Shao said, and his eyes were filled with yearning.
Along the way, he had learned about Wutian's identity from King Ying and the other man. As such, he no longer hesitated to speak.
"Old Su spent his whole life to complete this restriction formation. In the future, it will be the most powerful weapon to suppress the Shadow Guard Commander and the Dark Castellan!" King Ying said coldly.
After that, the few of them continued their journey and flew towards the depths of the Devil's Mountain Range.
The four of them were all Divine Transformation realm powerhouses so their speed was naturally extremely fast. After 50-60 breaths of time, a desolate desert appeared in front of them. It stretched as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.
Between the desert and the oasis, there was a barren mountain range. It was not very majestic, and the highest point was only about three hundred meters. However, it was very long, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. It was like a giant python lying on the ground, forming a dividing line.
"Over there!" The Dragon King's eyes were like torches. He instantly caught sight of two figures atop a hill.
These two people were Lei Ming and Sikong Yanran. However, the latter had already fainted and was lying at Lei Ming's feet. A shining blue sword was pressed against her stomach.
"He seems to be waiting for us. To be more accurate, he is waiting for Wutian." King Ying said.
Shua!
The four of them landed not too far away from Lei Ming. Wutian stepped forwards and said, "Let her go!"
"Eh? How come the Dragon King and King Ying are also here? " Lei Ming was incomparably surprised. He didn't answer and only looked at the Dragon King and the other two. He discovered that these three people were even more worried about Sikong Yanran than him.
"What's going on?"
Lei Ming was puzzled. He couldn't figure out what was going on, but he didn't need to know the reason. Since these three people were so worried about this woman, then he would make sure that none of them returned today. At that time, he would replace them and become the supreme leader of the King level powerhouses.
"You can let her go, but you have to walk into the land of death yourself." Lei Ming's tone was cold and his eyes were filled with hatred. He pointed at the Dragon King and the other two and said arrogantly, "The same goes for all of you. If you want to save this woman's life, then get in there obediently!"
The Dragon King said in a low voice, "Lei Ming, I'll give you a chance. Let her go and I'll let bygones be bygones."
"You want to negotiate with me?" Lei Ming sneered. He exerted some force and the blue sword pierced Sikong Yanran's stomach. Blood splattered everywhere and dyed her dress red.
However, Sikong Yanran seemed to be unaware of the pain and was still unconscious.
"Stop." Seeing this, the Dragon King and the other two shouted in unison.
"You're too concerned!" Wutian shook his head secretly. The three of them were too exaggerated. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they cared a lot about Sikong Yanran, let alone the shrewd Lei Ming. He believed that Lei Ming would be even more arrogant in the future.
As expected, when Lei Ming heard the tone of the Dragon King and the other two and saw their expressions, he laughed wildly and said sarcastically, "The Dragon King and King Ying are the leaders of two King-Ranked experts. Why would they care about a small Shadow Guard? Haha, how strange!"
"I'll say it again. If you want to save her life, all of you have to enter the land of death. Otherwise, I'll kill her." Lei Ming's murderous intent rose as he said coldly. He exerted force in his hand and the blue sword pierced another half an inch deeper.
"Alright, I promise you. As long as you let her go, I'll go in!" King Ying said in a low voice. After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and appeared in the desert in an instant.
The Dragon King took out the All Manifestations Token and sent out a message. Then, he said in a low voice, "If you dare to go back on your words, even if all of us are buried in the land of death, there will still be people coming to take your worthless life. Even if you have the protection of the Lord Commander."
After which, he exchanged glances with Madman Shao. Determination flashed across their eyes. Their bodies leaped forward, and they resolutely leaped down from the hill and landed beside Prince Ying.
Lei Ming's heart was filled with astonishment. At the same time, he was bewildered. Who was this woman? She could actually make the Dragon King and the other two listen to her. Then, he looked at Wutian, his eyes filled with undisguised resentment.
"It's your turn now."
Initially, he wanted to torture this person. However, this person had extraordinary means and it was better not to take the risk. After all, once they entered the land of death, this person would die sooner or later.
"Do you think that I'll be threatened by you?" Wutian said indifferently. He looked at Lei Ming as though he was looking at an idiot with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Haha! Don't pretend to be calm in front of me. I've seen many people like you. Please don't doubt my means. "
Lei Ming laughed coldly. He waved his hand and pointed the Green Sword at Wutian. A drop of blood separated from the Green Sword and shot towards Wutian. In an instant, Lei Ming retracted the Green Sword and pointed it at Sikong Yanran's chest. That was a close call.
In a confrontation between experts, any movement could be fatal. If the other party had waited for an opportunity to make a move and launched a surprise attack, that instant would have been enough to take his life.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and did not give the other party a chance. Lei Ming took a deep breath and looked at Wutian fearlessly. He said, "I'll give you three breaths of time. After three breaths, if you still don't enter, then don't be merciless under my sword."
Before Lei Ming finished speaking, the drop of blood that separated from the Green Sword landed on Wutian's face. It also happened to land on the spot where Chu Yiyan's tear fell before she died. Immediately, Wutian froze!
"This feeling …"
Wutian's face was lifeless. This feeling was very familiar, as if he had experienced it before. When the blood touched his face, he actually felt a kind of electric shock in his heart. It was as if he was about to lose the most important person in his life!
A memory that had been sealed for a long time suddenly emerged from the depths of his soul …
That's right!
This feeling was exactly the same as when Chu Yiyan blocked the fatal sword for him at Beast King Mountain. The feeling was exactly the same as when her tear fell on his face …
A few months ago, when he fell into the cold pond at the entrance of the Demon Mountain Cave, the strange feeling that appeared when he held Sikong Yanran's hands tightly also involuntarily emerged in his mind.
"Could it be … could it be that she … she is one of Yi Yan's three souls and seven spirits … reincarnated …"
Wutian looked at Sikong Yanran who was lying quietly on the ground. His eyes were filled with surprise, joy, sorrow, and even more disbelief!
"One!"
"Brother Li!"
Completely ignoring the worried gazes of the Dragon King and the other two, as well as Lei Ming's murderous gaze, Wutian waved his hand and the blood on his face fell off. It was like a blood diamond that floated in front of him and did not dissipate.
Then, he closed his eyes and quickly formed a series of hand seals. An obscure and strange power slowly spread out from his hands and wrapped around the blood!
The art of fortune-telling!
The art of fortune-telling that his grandfather had imparted to him was very mysterious. It could predict good or bad luck, and even the fate of others. Sometimes, Wutian even suspected that it was really just a fortune-telling art.
However, Wutian had never obtained an answer to this question.
And now, Wutian wanted to use this art to trace back to the origin and peek into Sikong Yanran's past life!
After an unknown period of time, the drop of blood turned into a waterfall and passed through Wutian's eyelids and merged into his eyes.
Suddenly, a world appeared in front of him. The surrounding scenery could not be more familiar, so much so that he would never forget it. Because this was the Beast King Mountain before it was destroyed!
Wutian was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect the art of fortune-telling to be more mysterious than he had imagined. It could actually use a drop of blood to trace back to the origin!
The Beast King Mountain's murderous aura soared to the heavens and the smell of blood filled the air!
In this world, Wutian was like a guest from outer space. He looked down at everything below him. He saw himself, Chu Yiyan, Di Tian, Chi Yanzi, and the Great Venerable. He also saw the sword that was filled with monstrous killing intent.
When the sword was drawn, Wutian was finally able to see with his own eyes the scene of Chu Yiyan blocking the sword for him. Every movement, every smile, and even that drop of crystal clear tear was clearly reflected in his eyes.
Even though this scene had already become a thing of the past, he still could not help but feel pain in his heart, as if it was being cut by a knife!
The scene changed. A vast and boundless starry sky appeared in front of Wutian. It was densely covered with stars, and starlight shone for tens of thousands of feet. Amidst the starlight, he could clearly see a shadow that was rapidly shuttling through this starry sky.
At this moment, in Wutian's eyes, that shadow was more dazzling than any star. Because that shadow was Chu Yiyan's soul!
Wutian shouted and chased after it. Finally, he followed the shadow and merged into the darkness.
His vision darkened. In an instant, a courtyard appeared in front of him. Wutian was shocked to discover that this was the first city of the City of Darkness. And this courtyard was even more familiar. It was the courtyard that Sikong Yanran had brought him and Cang Zheng to during the Shadow Guard battle!
"Three!"
Two figures gradually appeared in the courtyard. Wutian was about to see what was going on when at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded out. It was like a bolt from the blue, causing his sea of consciousness to buzz!
