The Ghost Hunter, King of Demonic Insects, the Ice Cold Flame, the Earth Flame, Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the Holy Spirit God received Shi Yan’s message. They flew around to avoid the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley to return to Shi Yan.
Shi Yan didn’t ask them what they did. Right when they returned, he immediately put them into the Blood Vein Ring.
The Dead Soul Mountain range now filled with big dangers. If he were careless for a moment, he would never recover. Shi Yan understood well that he was carrying a lot of treasures with him, which would make him a big target. Thus, he needed to leave this place of troubles as soon as possible.
However, as soon as he had retrieved those strange living beings, and hadn’t even departed yet, his mind suddenly felt agitated, and his face changed dramatically.
A tremendous strange energy fluctuation shot toward him rapidly, that left him no time to react.
Shi Yan shivered. He was about to use the secret technique to get away underground. However, right at the moment, a dark energy cloud snatched down, covering him.
A tall but thin figure appeared. His pupils reflected no light, which gave people a feeling of being cold.
The Master of the Devil Valley, Nie Ruo.
The gloomy energy cloud was like seawater enveloping him. The power of his entire body was restrained. No matter how hard he tried to urge his power, he couldn’t move his Essence Qi.
His negative energy wasn’t suppressed, but he didn’t dare to act rashly. He looked at the man with a calm face,
Who are you? Why have you restrained me?
A strand of your Soul Consciousness had appeared in the Spirit Potion Valley and the Precious Tool Valley. Were you sensing us?
Nie Ruo’s face was cold.
Your Soul Consciousness is a bit eccentric. If I didn’t have a special tool, I could never find you here. Kid, where are you from? Why did you sneak on us? What do you want?
Shi Yan was scared.
His Soul Consciousness had space power, which he had used to flee away instantly from the valley.
This man could track him down using only one beam of Soul Consciousness. He didn’t shame his formidable existence at the True God Realm.
I meant no harm. You guys created a big move, so I just wanted to check it out.
Shi Yan pretended to be innocent.
Did my Soul Consciousness sensing disturb you?
Nie Ruo curled his lips, cracking a dark, cold smile.
Well, I just think that you should be an interesting kid. Even I can’t send my Soul conscious through ten thousand miles away in just a blink of an eye like that. You have only the Sky Realm cultivation base, but you can do that, which astounded me a lot.
Shi Yan knitted his brows as his thought flickered quickly. He beamed a wry smile,
Then, what do you want?
I want nothing. I just want to know your identity,
grinned Nie Ruo.
You’re a stranger. You don’t look like the disciple of the seven ancient factions. Otherwise, I should have known you. Besides the seven factions, the ones who could raise you should be those recluses. Who’s your teacher?
Can I not answer that?
Sure you can,
Nie Ruo grinned fiendishly.
But I will enter your Sea of Consciousness and search the information in your host soul. It shouldn’t be a hard task, you know. But then, your host soul will be a little bit annoyed. You don’t want that, do you?
Shi Yan got enraged.
This man was a True God Realm expert. Intruding Shi Yan’s host soul was as easy as flipping his hand. If he did that, although Shi Yan could use the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame to harm him, he couldn’t escape.
Plus, if this man knew the secret of the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame, he would never let him go.
This was tough.
Shi Yan suddenly felt helpless. His strength and realm were much behind this man. Even if he used all the secret tricks he had, he couldn’t threaten the other, except giving him a chance to see what he got.
Then, he would never have a decent ending.
Nie Rue wasn’t hurried. He just grinned, looking at Shi Yan with cold eyes as if he weren’t afraid that the young man would do something sneaky.
Shi Yan’s brain was working quickly to find the way out. However, facing a monster at the True God Realm, he found that no trick could work.
Oh, you’re here. too.
At this moment, another voice came. Yun Hao, the Master of the Radiant God Cult, appeared in a twisted scorching light.
Shi Yan felt his heart sinking. His headache swelled bigger.
It was alright with one monster, but now he had another one. He was going crazy this time. Shi Yan felt a big regret in his heart. He blamed himself for being too slow, which helped these tremendous existences find him.
Yun Hao, why are you here?
Nie Ruo snorted.
You can find us here, which means you know that this kid was sneaking on us too, eh?
He’s one of my cult’s members. I’m coming to ask him to return to the sect.
The Radiant God Cult Master smiled generously.
Well, Lie Feng was defeated, so you felt that your face was blemished. Are you here to take action personally?
Lie Feng…
Nie Ruo was stunned. A streak of light crossed his eyes. He said with a colder tone,
You are that Shi Yan!
When Feng Biao reported on the dead soul’s operation, he also remarked the battle between Shi Yan, Hao Hai, Chang Ge, and Lie Feng, which frightened Nie Ruo. He had a deep impression with the name Shi Yan, and had memorized it.
He didn’t know that the man in front of his eyes was Shi Yan. Having heard Yun Hao mention the event, Nie Ruo remembered immediately. He couldn’t help but snort,
Turns out it’s you!
Shi Yan wore a bitter face, not knowing what to say.
He didn’t know why Nie Ruo came here or why Yun Hao, the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult, had paid attention to him. Shi Yan felt that he hadn’t done anything, but then why had he drawn many monsters here without reason?
Especially the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult, he exposed Shi Yan’s identity which meant he seemed to know him. This made him more anxious.
When he had stayed in the Ice Emperor City, Bai Ge Seng and the others had advised him carefully not to show up himself in front of Yun Hao, no matter what.
He always kept it in mind. He went to the Dead Soul Mountain range because he wanted to avoid Yun Hao.
Although he had many calculations, he now recognized he was wrong. Eventually, Yun Hao still laid an eye on him.
He’s my Radiant God Cult’s member,
Yun Hao smiled, looking at Nie Ruo. He didn’t talk much, but his intention of protecting the young man was obvious.
Everybody knew that Yun Hao liked to cover his men’s shortcomings and characteristics. If he talked that way, he would definitely poke his nose in this matter. If Nie Ruo wanted to take action, he had to finish Yun Hao first.
As they were all the peak warriors of the seven ancient factions in Divine Great Land, Nie Ruo knew how tremendous Yun Hao was. He looked at Shi Yan with a dark look, taking a deep breath,
Tell me, is it as what you said?
Shi Yan, come here. Show him your Star power,
Yun Hao smiled while his eyes squinted.
Shi Yan kept silent, but he had a big headache now with the worry.
The thing he was afraid of the most was to use the Star Martial Spirit in front of Yun Hao. He was wary of revealing something. He didn’t think that what he was afraid would come to him. Right when Yun Hao came, he asked him to use the Star Martial Spirit. He would be over this time.
Look at his hesitant look. It’s obvious that he doesn’t know anything. Master Yun Hao, do you really think that your pretense can make me step back?
said Nie Ruo coldly.
The Radiant God Cult Master was surprised, too. He started to doubt the information that Feng Biao had sent him. Releasing a bit of the Star power was easy. What made this kid find things too difficult?
Shi Yan pondered, then made up his mind miserably. His face was as if he was attending a funeral. He carefully urged the Star Martial Spirit, revealing a beam of starlight.
Yun Hao cracked a big smile, talking to Nie Rue.
Did you see that? The star power couldn’t be faked, right? Have you lost your hope yet?
Nie Rue paled as he nodded, then didn’t say anything. He disappeared shortly.
Once Nie Rue left, the smile on Yun Hao’s face disappeared. He didn’t say anything, but storming toward Shi Yan and forcefully put his hand on Shi Yan’s shoulder.
A flow of torrential energy started to pour rumblingly around Shi Yan, storming into his heart which was full of starlight.
Yun Hao’s look became bizarre. He sensed quietly but he seemed to be more stunned as time went by.
Shi Yan got struck as he thought it wasn’t good at all.
Anyhow, Yun Hao was the Cult Master of the Radiant God Cult. He had mastered using the power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. Using the star power in front of him, no matter how careful Shi Yan was, he couldn’t hide things from the old man’s eyes.
Normal people couldn’t see the feeble flaming energy in his Star Martial Spirit, but how could Yun Hao not recognize it?
Star power fused with flaming sun power. Not bad. Not bad at all. You surprise people a lot. You’ve widened my vision.
After Yun Hao finished his sensing, he retreated his arm, his face musing. He looked at Shi Yan with eyes as bright as the torch while smiling.
Without the secrets of the God Sect, how could you fuse the power of the star and the flaming sun?
Shi Yan felt as if he had a full stomach of bitter water. Closing his eyes, he said
I don’t know what had happened, it just turned that way. Luck… It was just my luck.
‘I’m doomed. Yun Hao will kill me shortly. God damn it. So unfortunate!’ Shi Yan cursed under his breath. He knew he couldn’t hide things any longer, talking with a cold visage.
It has turned out this way. What do you want me to do?
What to do…
Yun Hao’s smile hid a deep meaning.
Alright. Follow me to the Radiant God Cult. Our sect needs men with big guts like you. After we’re done with the ceremonies, you will be a member of the God Sect. The future master of the God Sect could be you, perhaps.
Shi Yan was struck by surprise, looking at him disbelievingly.
He still thought that Yun Hao would never let him live. He had estimated the worst case, but things had turned differently.
Yun Hao’s move was far beyond his estimation.
What? You thought that I would kill you?
Yun Hao was stunned.
Am I that narrow-minded? You have just combined the sun power, but you don’t know the technique. What should I worry about?
But the future…
Future?
Yun Hao curled his lips.
Who knows how the future will be? I’ve reached the Second Sky of True God Realm, but I can’t see the future. Can you? Perhaps the Radiant God Cult won’t exist in the future. As the master, I will disappear altogether with it. Why should I worry about the future?
Shi Yan was surprised.
