Chapter 1872 Finally Reunited
Chapter 1872 Finally Reunited
Countless images and information flooded into Mingchuan's mind in an instant.
The abnormal ley lines of Iron City, the Yin-corrosion dust and artificial passages of Blackwind Ridge, the figure of Moonless Trace, his powerful Moonlit Mirror Dust Technique, the roar and self-destruction of the Azure Falcon...
"The moon is without a trace!"
Mingchuan spoke each word slowly and deliberately, his immense killing intent soaring into the sky, causing the entire Sky Observation Mirror platform to vibrate!
He turned abruptly, his eyes flashing with silver light, his voice like the clang of metal echoing throughout the suspended palace:
"Moonless Trace has infiltrated Black Wind Ridge in the Western Regions! The Hidden Edge Squad has been attacked, and Captain Azure Falcon has died a martyr!"
"Order: All Wan Chuan Sect and allied forces in the Western Regions shall enter a state of high alert! Seal off all major passages and teleportation arrays connecting the Western Regions to other areas!"
"The Zhan Tang Rui Jin and Hou Tu divisions, personally led by Ji Zhou, will immediately travel via teleportation array to the nearest Iron Wall City in the Western Regions, where they will join forces with the Qing Feng Yu Men Feng Yu Guards to conduct a comprehensive search and mopping-up operation in the Black Wind Ridge and Rock Iron City areas!"
"Any cultivator not registered in the Spirit Realm at the Nascent Soul stage or above, especially those possessing Moon Essence attribute cultivation techniques, may be executed first and reported later!"
"Announcement to the entire Spirit Realm: Yue Wuhen, the Palace Master of the Dragon Roar Temple, has violated the unspoken rules between the two realms by infiltrating the Spirit Realm and attacking our sect's cultivators with malicious intent! This is an act of declaring war! All cultivators in the Spirit Realm are obligated to eliminate him!"
A series of orders rained down like hailstones, carrying a chilling aura of killing intent!
The entire Wanchuan Sect instantly erupted in excitement!
War drums thunder, swords flash to the sky!
Leng hope, Ran Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan all wore solemn expressions and gripped their magical artifacts tightly.
Ah Xiong, Meng Dalang, and the others were so enraged that they roared and were about to rush to the Western Regions.
Jinman quickly relayed the order through special channels to the four major sects and various strongholds in the Spirit Realm.
Mingchuan stood in front of the Observatory, gazing at the Western Regions reflected in the mirror, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as a cold pool.
"Moonless Trace... This is just the beginning."
"Yueyao, I know you must be nearby. This time, none of you will escape."
In the western region of the Spirit Realm, the teleportation array of Iron Wall City emitted beams of light that shot into the sky one after another. A large number of elite cultivators from the Wan Chuan Sect and Qing Feng Yu Sect marched out in formation, their killing intent surging, like unsheathed swords pointing straight at Black Wind Ridge!
……
Located about forty miles northwest of the Chaotic Sky Sea, at the edge of the Soul-Devouring Flesh Forest.
The blue-faced fox was slightly out of breath, and the azure radiance around her had dimmed considerably. The light shield was stained with spots of dark green poison, which were being slowly dispelled by her purifying power.
Her hair was slightly disheveled, and her skirt was torn in several places by the scythe-like segments of the Soul-Eating Centipede, revealing skin stained with faint bloodstains.
Behind them, the dark red, writhing, nauseating forest of flesh was slowly receding into the distance.
She finally broke free!
The cost was the depletion of a large amount of spiritual and soul power, and several shallow but painful wounds on her body. Although the venom was purified in time, the lingering numbness still affected her movements.
However, her eyes were bright and determined as she stared intently at the pulsation of the lunar beacon ahead.
It was now so close, as clear as the bright moon in the night!
She took a deep breath, suppressing her injuries and exhaustion, and quickened her pace to cross the last barren area covered with sharp crystals.
Suddenly, everything became clear.
It was a valley shrouded in gray mist. In the center of the valley, a dilapidated silver stone platform stood silently. Above the platform, a layer of faint moonlight shone like a thin veil, exuding a peaceful and lofty aura.
Despite the still harsh surroundings, the valley, bathed in the moonlight, possessed an incongruous tranquility.
The blue-faced fox was overjoyed and was about to leap down.
"Watch out! There's a spying artifact at the valley entrance!"
A familiar yet urgent voice suddenly rang in her mind!
It's the voice of Master Lingxu!
Despite his weariness, he remained composed.
The blue-faced fox suddenly froze, stopping abruptly in mid-air, its gaze sweeping towards the entrance of the valley like lightning.
Sure enough, in the shadow of an inconspicuous rock, she sensed the Mirror of Truth, which blended almost seamlessly with its surroundings!
She immediately suppressed all her outward aura, her figure as light as a falling leaf as she floated towards the rock wall on one side of the valley, landing behind a protruding rock, in the same direction as Lingxu Zhenren's telepathic transmission.
"Senior? Where are you? How are your injuries?"
The blue-faced fox asked telepathically, its voice filled with concern.
"I'm fine. Stay where you are and I'll come to guide you."
The voice of Master Lingxu rang out again.
A moment later, the rock wall to the side of the Green-Faced Fox rippled slightly like water, and a figure shrouded in the faint moonlight quietly appeared—it was none other than the Spirit Void Immortal.
His face was still somewhat pale, but his eyes were clear, and although his breathing was not at its peak, it was still steady.
Seeing that the Blue-Faced Fox looked slightly disheveled but unharmed, Master Lingxu's eyes flashed with relief, and he then gestured for her to follow.
Like two wisps of smoke, the two quietly entered a small natural cave deep within the rock face through a crack that had been cleverly concealed by Master Lingxu using spatial power.
The entrance to the cave was immediately covered by a thin layer of spatial folds, making it indistinguishable from the rock wall from the outside.
The stone cave was dry and clean, clearly a temporary hiding place created by the True Man Lingxu.
"senior!"
The blue-faced fox finally breathed a sigh of relief, a genuine smile spreading across its face. "I've finally found you! When I received your lunar beacon, I couldn't believe it..."
Master Lingxu waved his hand, carefully examined her, and frowned slightly: "Are you injured? Has poison invaded your body?"
"It's alright. Most of the venom from the Soul-Eating Centipede has been purified; it's just some superficial wounds and spiritual energy depletion."
The Blue-Faced Fox smiled gently, then said seriously, "Senior, the Crimson Flame Fox seems to still be alive. I vaguely sensed his remaining violent fire elemental aura from the beacon fluctuations. The direction of the aura intersected with the source of the beacon, so he is likely also heading this way. However, he seems to have encountered trouble, and his aura is chaotic and unstable."
Master Lingxu nodded: "I also vaguely sensed it; his soul tablet trembled, but his condition seemed very bad. What about Ye Yan? Can you sense him?"
The blue-faced fox shook his head, a look of worry flashing in his eyes: "No. He's either too far away, or he's deliberately concealing his aura."
She didn't mention the other possibility.
Master Lingxu was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "This place is not safe to stay for long. Although my lighting of the Taiyin Beacon attracted you, it also inevitably drew the attention of the Silent Zen Temple. The Truth-Seeking Mirror at the valley entrance is proof of that."
“Their people came before, but were scared away by the aura of the stone platform. However, they may come back at any time, and may bring even more troublesome people.”
He quickly and briefly recounted his previous experiences.
The Green-Faced Fox was shocked. He hadn't expected that Master Lingxu had gone through so much and even risked his life to set up a beacon.
"Senior, what should we do next? Wait for Fellow Daoist Crimson Flame Fox? Or try to find Fellow Daoist Ye Yan?"
As he spoke, the Green-Faced Fox's brows were filled with worry.
