Hua la!
Two figures dashed out of the forest and quickly ran towards the plains in front of them. When they reached a third of the plains, the two of them found a big rock and jumped behind it. With their backs against the rock, they gasped for air.
The two of them were covered in mud and leaves. They were battered and exhausted. They had been running for their lives. The smell of the Dead Lonely Beast had attracted a large number of evil beasts. As a result, when the two of them passed through the forest, they met many evil beasts. Although a portion of the evil beasts were not interested, there were always some greedy evil beasts that wanted to devour the two of them.
Su Yun did not dare to continue fighting. He was afraid of attracting more evil beasts. He could only escape with Cheng Xie. At least they did not meet any strong beings. That was how they managed to escape the Soulless Forest.
Su Yun gasped for air. He had forcefully blocked the attacks of a few evil beasts, causing his Qi to be in a mess. He anxiously sat cross legged and adjusted his Qi. After stabilizing himself, he opened his eyes.
"It should be safe here, right?"
"It's safe!" Cheng Xie nodded. He stood up and pointed far away: "Look!"
Su Yun looked towards the direction he was pointing. He saw a tall hill far away. There was a gigantic shrine. The shrine looked like it had experienced an earthquake. The ground was full of holes. The pillars had collapsed. The roof tiles were broken. Bricks were scattered everywhere. The enchantment was broken and the array seals were broken. The shrine had not completely collapsed. However, the door was blocked by the broken pillars. There was a big hole at the side. A large amount of black Evil Qi leaked out from the hole. It looked strange and eerie.
"Is that the shrine of evil spirits?"
Su Yun looked far away. The dusky sky made the shrine look extremely scary.
"Yes!"
Cheng Xie nodded. He sat on the ground and said: "The Qi in the shrine is extremely strong. Even the Qi around the shrine is extremely dense. So, there won't be any evil beasts nearby. We are safe here. But if we want to get closer, we will have to endure the Qi. Previously, you did not have any Evil Qi on you. So, you will definitely not be able to get close to the Qi. So, I have to help you cultivate the Evil Spirit Qi. Because only by using your own Evil Qi to synthesize the Qi, can you successfully enter the shrine."
"Synthesize?"
"Yes, comprehensive! Some of the Evil Realm people are very smart, they use their own Qi to combine the strong Qi of a treasure or a place, this is something that the Evil Beasts do not have. You might not know how to combine the Qi, but I know, because I know this place better than anyone else! "
Cheng Xie said: "Human, follow my movements and chants to control the Evil Spirit Qi, we will go over now."
"Alright!"
Su Yun nodded.
Then Guan Xie clenched his fists and moved them quickly. His ten fingers loosened and then tightened, and he muttered a few sentences of Evil Language.
The Demonic Qi in his body began to circulate rhythmically, passing through every inch of his meridians. It flowed rapidly and finally spilled out of his body, forming a glossy black barrier around his body.
The barrier spun round after round, growing and multiplying, as if it would never stop.
Guan Xie took a deep breath, stared at the dilapidated building on the high slope in the distance, and stepped forward.
Seeing that, Su Yun immediately followed.
The two of them walked slowly, one in front and one at the back.
Then, in less than an incense worth of time, the two of them crashed into a strange Qi field.
It was as if they were in water. Every step they took, they would feel the resistance from the Qi field. Their movements were restricted, and their movements became strenuous and stiff.
"Is the Shrine of Evil Spirits like this too?"
Su Yun walked forward step by step with heavy steps, and asked Cheng Xie.
Cheng Xie's face was pale white, his face was sweating, and he panted: "No, the Qi field is just some heavy Qi that is released from the shrine. They are all piled up here, and it is hard to disperse, so it became like this. There is no Qi field inside."
Hearing that, Su Yun was silent for a moment, and thought: "If it's like this, with such a Qi field outside, I'm afraid it's not beneficial for us to leave!"
"Not beneficial for us to leave?"
"Yes, the almighty being's cultivation is high, he can directly ignore this Qi field, but we can't. With this Qi field as a barrier, we can't leave quickly, and will become a sharp blade that kills us."
"Then what should we do?"
"Is there any other way out of the shrine?"
"There's a shuttle array that has already been destroyed."
"Shuttle array? Where is it linked to? "
"The coordinates are at the southwest side of the Evil Realm, cluster cloud mountain!"
"How do you know that the shuttle array has been destroyed?"
"Back then, during the great calamity, we wanted to leave through the teleportation formation, but the formation core of the teleportation formation was removed by someone in advance. It might have been done by that almighty being. He must have already made preparations to cut off all our paths of retreat."
"Is there any way to repair the shuttle array?" Su Yun asked immediately.
"This is more difficult, but the shrine's warehouse has an array eye, just that I don't know if the things in the warehouse were robbed by the almighty being."
"Is the warehouse where the Divine Crown is?"
"No. The Divine Crown is in the center of the shrine. "
Hearing that, Su Yun started to think again, after a moment, he said: "The storehouse should still have the Formation Aperture, according to what you said, it is not easy to take the treasures from the shrine, the treasures in the storehouse might have been taken away, but the Formation Aperture might still be there, let's go to the storehouse first, find the Formation Aperture, and wait for the teleportation array to be repaired, then we can make plans, if the teleportation array is not repaired, we can only give up on this operation!"
"Give up?" Cheng Xie stopped in his tracks, and turned to look at Su Yun.
"Yes, give up!" Su Yun nodded his head: "I will not throw my life away because of this mission of yours. Without the shuttle array, we have no way out. Even if we take the Divine Crown, we will still die!"
"This …" Cheng Xie was obviously unhappy, but he had no other choice. He could only sigh and nod his head.
"If we are alive, we still have a chance. Even if the Divine Crown is taken away by the almighty being, we still have a chance to get it back. But if we die, then we have no chance at all. Sometimes, living an ignoble life is more valuable than a glorious sacrifice!"
Su Yun patted Cheng Xie's shoulder, and continued forward.
Cheng Xie was slightly startled. Looking at the figure moving forward, his eyes were confused.
"Living an ignoble life? All these years, haven't I been living an ignoble life? "Cheng Xie muttered.
After passing through the Qi field, the two of them finally neared the high slope, nearing the broken yet majestic shrine.
It was extremely cold here. Even a drop of water would turn into ice. If a normal person were here, they would have long frozen to death. Su Yun's cultivation was high, so he was naturally fine. But Cheng Xie was different. His cultivation was extremely low. After passing through the Qi field, he was already exhausted. Now that he was suffering from the cold, it was hard for him to endure. He was shivering, and it was extremely unbearable.
Seeing that, Su Yun channeled some Evil Spirit Qi to protect his body. Only then did Cheng Xie feel much better.
"Thank you."
He heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at the gigantic shrine. The Evil Eye Seal was filled with an uncontrollable excitement.
"Master … Master … I'm back …"
He muttered softly, his voice was sorrowful. But the glory of the past no longer existed. His companions had all left. No one would remember the glory and tyranny of the Shrine of Evil Spirits. They only cared about the treasures here.
Su Yun took out the Thousand Deep Sword and Engraved Dragon Blade. He hung the Death Sword on his back. Then, he walked towards the entrance of the shrine.
Cheng Xie regained his senses and hurriedly followed.
"Human, you have to be careful. There are many dead shrine warriors here that have transformed into evil beings. There are also many who covet the shrine's treasures. They are controlled by the Evil Qi here. They are all very strong. You have to be careful!!"
Cheng Xie exclaimed.
"I understand. You better stay closer to me. You're more familiar with this place. Which way leads to the storage room?" Su Yun held onto his swords and asked.
"The right side is through the Evil Garden. Then, walk through the Cleansing Resentment Pool. Then, you'll reach the storage room."
"The almighty being is already on his way here. I believe that in no time, they will reach here. Time is of the essence. Quickly bring me there!"
"Alright!"
Cheng Xie nodded. He immediately ran to the front and led the way for Su Yun.
But, he had not even walked for a few steps. Suddenly, a sound pierced through the air.
Su Yun's ears twitched. His nerves trembled. He waved both swords in his hands and threw them out.
Sou sou!
The Thousand Deep Sword and Engraved Dragon Blade flew out in unison. They flew close to Cheng Xie and spun quickly.
From the right, a large number of pitch black arrows were shot towards Cheng Xie. But the two swords spun quickly and formed a circular sword cover. It protected Cheng Xie. The arrows were immediately destroyed. Cheng Xie was not injured at all.
He was stunned for a moment. But very quickly, he regained his senses. He looked towards the direction where the arrows came from and shouted: "It's an evil being!"
Then, he saw a few people carrying a quiver of arrows. They were dressed in light armor. Their skin was pitch black. Evil Qi permeated everywhere. They came out from a broken door on the right. There were a total of four people. All of them were holding onto bows. Their evil eyes were sluggish. They looked over. When their arrows were blocked, they did not have any reaction. They just continued to hold onto the bow in their hands and nocked another arrow. They were ready to attack again.
"It's master's Evil Wind Team!"
After seeing their faces clearly, Cheng Xie knelt on the ground and cried: "Have they all turned into evil beings?"
"Seems like it."
Su Yun took a deep breath and said softly. Then, he waved both his hands. Activating his Profound Spirit Qi, the Thousand Deep Sword and the Engraved Dragon Blade that were revolving around Cheng Xie flew out again and killed the members of the Evil Wind Team.
These Evil Realm people had no consciousness. Their minds were only filled with killing. Their cultivation levels were not high. They were only at the fifth stage of the Spirit Core Disciple. Adding that they only used bows and arrows, it was hard for them to fight against Su Yun who could control flying swords. After a few slashes, they were killed.
Cheng Xie took a deep breath. He did not say anything. He did not hate Su Yun. He understood that he was forced to do so.
After the members of the Evil Wind Team died, Cheng Xie's heart was filled with sorrow. He did not say a word. He continued to lead the way towards the Evil Garden.
Just that, before the two of them entered the Evil Garden, suddenly, the entire shrine started to shake. Then, a loud roar sounded out.
Wu!!!
The sound was melodious like the roar of an ancient beast. Cheng Xie heard it and his face changed.
"Not good."
"What's going on?"
"It seems like there's a strong evil being here that was provoked!"
"The evil being was provoked?" Hearing that, Su Yun was enlightened: "You mean, the almighty being is here?"
For a strong evil being to be provoked, there was only one possibility. Danger was approaching. An existence like Su Yun was not a threat to them at all! So, it must be the almighty being who had reached the heavens that caused such a phenomenon.
"Go! Quick! Run straight over! "
Su Yun whispered.
If the almighty being sensed their presence, the two of them would definitely die.
Cheng Xie did not dare to delay and immediately ran towards the Evil Garden.
But just as he entered the Evil Garden, a few more evil beings jumped out.
Su Yun's body was like the wind. He brandished his sword and rushed forward. Sword shadows flew everywhere.
