A figure appeared silently inside the grand hall. Before this person spoke, neither Chu Feng, Yu Sha, nor Eggy had noticed anything at all.
It was an old man, yet he stood thirteen metres tall, with a robust and powerful build. If not for his snow-white hair and face full of wrinkles, his physique would hardly resemble that of an elderly person.
Moreover, this old man wore black armour, and a sword hung at his waist. He looked extremely imposing.
However, his eyes were hollow and empty, and an extremely powerful aura emanated from his body.
This… was an Asura Evil Spirit!!!
And one with formidable strength.
Not only was his power overwhelming, but his armour and sword were clearly far more exquisite than those of Chu Feng and Gongsun Yuntian. This indicated that his status was anything but ordinary.
“Damn it.”
The moment she saw this old evil spirit, Eggy wasted no words. Gripping the Death God’s Blade, she charged straight at him.
Snap.
But as Eggy drew near, the old man reached out with one hand and seized Eggy’s Death God’s Scythe.
Once it was caught, Eggy’s face showed pain. She struggled with all her might, but it was futile.
Clearly, Eggy had been subdued.
The strength of this evil spirit old man far surpassed Eggy’s.
Seeing this, Yu Sha also furrowed her brows tightly.
Eggy was their greatest reliance. If even Eggy could not defeat this opponent, then they stood no chance at all.
“Even in the bitter cold of eternal night and frost, there will come a day when sunlight shines upon all.”
But at this critical moment, Chu Feng suddenly spoke up.
And these words… were precisely the secret code that Black Fiend Old Demon had told him.
“Sent by Black Fiend?”
Upon hearing the code, the old man turned his gaze toward Chu Feng again. The fierce look in his eyes unexpectedly softened quite a bit.
Seeing this, Chu Feng let out a long breath of relief. In truth, he had only been testing the waters.
Because this old man’s aura was far too powerful. He did not seem like someone sent to receive them at all. Yet Chu Feng never expected that he truly was.
“Senior, this junior was indeed sent here by Lord Black Fiend.”
Chu Feng quickly bowed in respect.
Hearing this, the evil spirit old man released Eggy. Then he asked, “Only you? Was it not supposed to be two people?”
With those words, his identity was confirmed beyond doubt.
He truly was the one responsible for receiving Chu Feng.
It was just that Chu Feng had never imagined the one receiving them would be an Asura Evil Spirit.
And one with such terrifying strength, no less.
“Reporting to Senior, there was an incident. Currently, only this junior remains.”
Chu Feng replied.
“Have your World Spirits return to your World Spirit Space.”
“You will follow me. Remember, unless I speak to you, you are not to say a single word.”
The evil spirit old man spoke with great severity.
Chu Feng did not delay. He quickly instructed Eggy and Yu Sha to return to the World Spirit Space.
After that, he followed behind this evil spirit like a guard.
Once they left the grand hall, what appeared before Chu Feng’s eyes was a world of breathtaking beauty.
Above was a blue sky with white clouds, below were green mountains and clear waters. The grand hall behind them had actually been built atop a towering peak.
Looking into the distance, rivers and mountains stretched everywhere. This was a vast world so immense that Chu Feng’s line of sight could not reach its edges.
This was completely different from what Chu Feng had imagined the Asura Burial Ground to be.
He had originally thought the Asura Burial Ground would be as terrifying as hell itself.
Yet he never expected it to look like this. The scene before him was no different from an ordinary martial cultivation realm.
“Is it disguised by an array? There is not even the slightest flaw visible.”
“This must be the work of an extremely powerful World Spiritist.”
“The Asura Burial Ground truly is no ordinary place.”
Although the scenery was magnificent and beautiful, Chu Feng also knew that it was all an illusion. The Asura Burial Ground was still located deep underground.
Whether it was the azure sky or the brilliant sunlight, both were fabricated by barrier arrays. Even the green mountains, rivers, and vast seas were disguised by barrier arrays.
Yet this array was so powerful that even though Chu Feng knew it was fake, he could not spot a single flaw.
Chu Feng followed this evil spirit old man as they continued forward.
Along the way, they encountered quite a few Asura Evil Spirits.
Most of those Asura Evil Spirits wore armour similar to Chu Feng’s. The only difference was that they had no sword at their waists. Instead, each held a long spear in hand.
All the evil spirits moved in perfect order. Even when flying through the air, they advanced in strict formations.
The impression they gave Chu Feng could be summed up in four words: highly disciplined and well-trained.
No matter the rank of the evil spirit, upon seeing this old evil spirit, they would immediately stop and bow deeply in respect.
The people here addressed this evil spirit old man as Lord Yun Liang.
From their reverent gazes, Chu Feng’s earlier guess was confirmed. This Lord Yun Liang, who had come to receive him, indeed held an extraordinary status and position within the Asura Burial Ground.
This also made Chu Feng curious. With such a high status, why would he help Black Fiend Old Demon steal something?
After all, he was an Asura Evil Spirit himself. His actions amounted to betrayal.
Could it be that he was not actually an evil spirit, but someone disguised as one through special means?
Chu Feng had many questions in his heart. Yet these were questions he could not ask, because this Lord Yun Liang gave Chu Feng a very cold impression, even to the point of seeming unfriendly.
This sense of uncertainty was something Chu Feng disliked. It offered absolutely no feeling of safety.
He did not even know where this Lord Yun Liang was taking him right now.
Finally, Chu Feng gathered his courage and spoke.
“Lord Yun Liang, are we going to retrieve that item now?”
Chu Feng asked via secret voice transmission.
But who would have thought that as soon as Chu Feng spoke, Lord Yun Liang stopped in his tracks.
When he turned his head to look at Chu Feng, Chu Feng immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
Lord Yun Liang’s gaze was extremely terrifying. Killing intent surged within his eyes.
“Did you not hear what I told you earlier?”
“Do not speak here. Do not ask questions. Just follow me and do exactly as I say.”
“If you dare speak again, I will kill you immediately.”
Lord Yun Liang said viciously, though he also used secret voice transmission for these words.
At this moment, Chu Feng understood. Even secret voice transmission was not allowed.
Unless this Lord Yun Liang initiated conversation with him, it seemed he could not even speak normally.
After that, Chu Feng did not dare ask anything else. He could only obediently follow behind Lord Yun Liang.
In the end, Lord Yun Liang brought Chu Feng to a prison.
This prison was enormous, and every single prisoner inside was an Asura Evil Spirit.
These Asura Evil Spirits all had their hands and feet bound by chains. Even their mouths were sealed by torture devices, denying them the right to speak. It was clear they had committed grave crimes.
Moreover, the number of Asura Evil Spirits imprisoned here was staggering, simply too many to count.
Even the ones Chu Feng could see numbered nearly ten thousand.
The prison covered a vast area. If every cell here was filled with prisoners, then the total number of imprisoned Asura Evil Spirits might reach tens of millions.
Even those imprisoned Asura Evil Spirits, upon seeing Lord Yun Liang, all rose to their feet and bowed deeply in respect.
However, Lord Yun Liang gave no response at all. He continued deeper until he arrived in front of a heavily guarded cell.
This cell was rather unusual.
The materials used for the cell were very special, making it exceptionally sturdy.
The guards standing before the cell door, both in attire and aura, far surpassed the other guards.
This was enough to show how important this cell was.
The guards responsible for this cell, although they bowed respectfully to Lord Yun Liang, showed no intention of opening the door.
Only after Lord Yun Liang took out a token engraved with the words “Asura King” did those guards finally open the cell door.
Yet when the cell door opened, Chu Feng’s heart jolted in shock.
Inside, what was imprisoned was no longer Asura Evil Spirits, but martial cultivators.
There was no mistake. Both their clothing and appearance clearly belonged to martial cultivators. And among them… there was actually a familiar figure.
That was… someone Chu Feng knew.
“Wang Yuxian?”
While Chu Feng was inwardly shocked, he also felt extremely puzzled.
This person was none other than the famously talented disciple of the Dao Sea Fairy!!!
How could she possibly be here?
