Chapter 305: Chapter 274: The Wind and Cloud Changes Colors Over 3000 Miles_1

“”Who are you?”

Staring at the strange man with a golden mask who appeared out of nowhere and whose well-built figure was as imposing as a mountain, Murong Shun asked loudly.

A moment ago he was in the midst of battle with the evil spirits, and the next, he was transported by an unknown force into a small space.

Before he could make sense of his situation, this masked apparition emerged before him.

The masked intruder didn’t utter a word, instead lunged at him with a bronze halberd.

Murong Shun immediately summoned his magic artifact for protection, but the strange man suddenly disappeared from right in front of him. Before he could react, he felt a cold shiver down his back. Turning around, the halberd was already upon him.

It was already too late for him to deflect the attack. The halberd, carrying a terrifying force, shattered his protective spiritual power in an instant and struck his body.

Splat!

His body, along with his soul, was cleaved in two.

What kind of artifact can sever even the soul?

That was Murong Shun’s last thought.

“I’m not exactly a generous guy. I mean, I said I was going to save some folks, but it doesn’t hurt if a few of them die.”

The voice came from behind Xu Mu’s mask.

In the space inside the tripod, he had not only the ability to teleport, but also unleashed the bloodline power of the Earthsplitting Whale to finish the fight quickly. In this state, even though Murong Shun wasn’t weak, he was no match for Xu Mu.

After stripping everything valuable from Murong Shun’s body and reducing the corpse to ashes, his fragmented soul naturally met a fate of total destruction.

“Quite a substantial haul! Not bad!”

After checking his spoils, Xu Mu was quite pleased; this method was more profitable than selling pills.

The only drawback was that it was a bit messy to handle.

With this thought, his figure vanished again.

He’d already said he wasn’t a benevolent person, those women who had insulted him naturally wouldn’t be spared.

In passing, he could also weaken the strength of the other princes and princesses, sort of helping Li Youlan.

As for his method of handling them –

“Golden Core Stage female cultivators sure are different!”

…

After extracting his revenge, he started observing the outside situation, witnessing the birth of Nine Ghosts and witness their battle with the guards of the Palm Immortal Office.

In the face of these nine Nascent Soul Stage evil spirits, the powerful guards of the Palm Immortal Office were falling like harvested rice stalks, offering virtually no resistance.

This reminded Xu Mu of the old Soul Forging Sect!

Witnessing this scene, Xu Mu, who initially planned to escape from the God Refining Tripod, decided to stay put and see how the situation unfolds.

Whilst the Nine Ghosts were causing havoc in the Palm Immortal Office, Prince Jade was not idle; he was heading deeper into the dungeon.

Xu Mu had also heard his earlier roar.

It was easy to guess that he was heading deeper to save his father.

Unfortunately, Xu Mu didn’t know much about the imperial family’s affairs, he didn’t know who Prince Jade’s father was, let alone why he was imprisoned here?

However, he couldn’t be bothered with these matters; all he wanted was to seize the opportunity when the adversaries were in the midst of a heated battle to escape from the God Refining Tripod unnoticed.

As soon as Prince Jade entered the ninth level, deafening booming sounds came incessantly, clearly demonstrating an attack on the seal.

“Stop immediately! It’s not too late to turn back now, or nobody will be able to save you!”

The icy-sounding voice of the Master of the Palm Immortal Office rang out telepathically.

Prince Jade, however, paid no heed and kept attacking, aiming to break the seal before his adversaries could reach him.

At this moment, the Master of the Palm Immortal Office was already at the entrance of the celestial prison and was rushing in quickly.

The prison’s formidable defenses now acted as a hindrance, obligating him to hurry downwards level by level.

The prison was in complete disarray due to the Nine Ghosts, with many guards and prisoners meeting their demise. The cells were extensively damaged, and the confined criminals had run loose.

However, these freed prisoners didn’t have a chance to rejoice before experiencing the same fate as the guards and being swallowed by the evil spirits.

These evil spirits didn’t discriminate between friend or foe, they would kill anyone they encountered.

With their Nascent Soul Stage strength and the combined force of the Nine Ghosts, they practically had no opponents in the prison.

It was only when the Master of the Palm Immortal Office arrived that the Nine Ghosts were finally held at bay.

The resounding sounds of battle and the explosions from the attack on the seal caused the entire dungeon to sway, as if it were on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

“What’s happening? What’s going on?”

One after another, powerful Divine Intents surfaced, all of which belonged to the masters of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Clearly, these were the Nascent Soul cultivators that were in charge of ensuring the safety of the imperial capital, who had noticed the anomaly in the heavenly prison.

Xu Mu was in the dark about the situation outside, he merely sensed a series of powerful auras descending. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

“Is Prince Jade a bit of a fool? Even if he could save his father, faced with the onslaught from the masters of the entire capital, does he really think he could escape?”

Xu Mu felt a touch of incomprehension.

Prince Jade was able to successfully pull off his plan,_, refining nine evil ghosts under the watchful eye of the Master of the Palm Immortal Office primarily because no one could have anticipated it.

Why didn’t they anticipate it?

Because everyone thought that doing such a thing was akin to courting death.

Given the structure of the celestial prison, any disturbance would immediately alert those outside.

A slight delay would result in them becoming sitting ducks. Confronted with the encirclement of a large number of Nascent Souls in the imperial capital, they stood no chance of escaping.

Who would commit such a foolish act?

Yet, this foolish act was committed in front of their very eyes!

The battle still continued. The fight between the nine evil ghosts and the Master of the Palm Immortal Office had almost flipped half of the celestial prison upside down before the appearance of other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators gradually suppressed it.

At this moment, a thunderous sound, as if the earth were shaking and mountains were swaying, roared out —

The seal on the ninth layer was broken.

“Hahahahaha!”

A burst of laughter, filled with boundless dominance, emitted from the depth of the prison, shaking an area as large as ten miles.

The Master of the Palm Immortal Office, as well as the Nascent Soul old ancesters who rushed to the rescue, all turned pale.

“Congratulations to father for your release!”

Prince Jade’s voice was filled with uncontrollable joy.

“Haha! Worthy of being my son, you’ve done well! Now give me your body!”

The voice was filled with dominance and left no room for argument.

“Body? What body? You… Ahhh!”

The wails of Prince Jade full of unwillingness, which came from the ninth layer, sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

“Bloody hell!”

“This guy is too unlucky!”

“He saved his father, but not only did he reap no benefits, he also lost his life.”

Having heard everything in the God Refining Tripod, Xu Mu couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

“Worthy of being my blood! I am very satisfied with this body!”

Quickly, a terrifying, dominant, and savage aura broke free from the ninth layer, and charged straight towards the outside. The entire celestial prison could finally not withstand it any longer and began to collapse on a large scale.

“The Flag of Ten Thousand Souls? Excellent! I was just lacking a handy magic artefact!”

“Late Nascent Soul Stage!! Impossible! Impossible! You have been imprisoned for hundreds of years, how was it possible for you to not decline, but advance in your cultivation!!”

From above, screams came one after another. Thereafter, the incredulous exclamations from the Master of the Palm Immortal Office resonated.

“You old dog, how could you know my power! You think that old man truly spared me out of parental love and imprisoned me instead of killing me. It was because he couldn’t kill me! Hahaha!”

The man let out a triumphant laugh.

“Rebellious son! You really think I can’t kill you!!”

A voice, extremely cold, echoed throughout the imperial capital instantaneously.

Everyone felt the air suddenly solidify, as though the space within a hundred miles had been clenched in someone’s hand.

The clouds in the sky merged madly, lightning flashing and thunder roaring, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Just a single thought led to a drastic change across thousands of miles!

Everyone realized that the old ancestor from the royal family, a cultivator who had attained Divinity Transformation, had arrived!
