On the cold southern mainland, thousands of cultivators gathered at the edge of the dark valley. Each one with a weapon in hand and whose anger was clearly drawn on the face.
The dark valley rich in demonic energy was so close to them, it had never even been this close before. Inevitably cold bristles over the surface of the skin and restlessly sprout.
Many people say that the demon valley is the origin of all evil. However, the remark was not only because of the demon valley where the gathering of demon cultivators as well as demons who escaped from the Demon realm. However, because the demon fog that enveloped the place was able to awaken evil hidden deep within the soul. Even if they were called true cultivators, no one would claim to be without the slightest evil thoughts. Therefore, their dusty arrival had faded a lot as they looked at the dark expanse.
Seeing the dark fog, they were like seeing evil spirits trying to reach, trying to get them to shreds. Instinctively, they immediately grabbed the piece of spell paper hidden in the clothes bag. The spell paper that was painted to disperse this evil given just before they set out on the expedition was enough to provide a bit of calm, enough to protect them from being shredded with dark energy.
Among these thousands of cultivators, Hualing felt like a very small point. Although he exerted all his abilities, he knew that saving Yuan Qing unharmed was impossible.
A piercing pain suddenly came, breaking Hualing's musings. In an instant his countenance distorted and his skin turned pale.
"Ling! What's wrong?" Xie Shaosheng who was standing beside Hualing was the first to realize his strangeness.
"Nothing's wrong." Hualing answered softly. There was nothing wrong, it was only pain that appeared when the destiny-breaking bell was used. However, Hualing felt a little strange. This attack had happened several times lately, but the two people from the Sky sect were not heading in any direction at the time.
"Are you sure? You look so pale!" Without warning, Xie Shaosheng grabbed Hualing's wrist. Measuring his youngest sister's pulse. His white forehead wrinkled deeply, "how could it be so chaotic? Not only your pulse, but also your spiritual energy is in chaos."
Xie Shaosheng measured more closely, "this is not from an internal injury. Why so weird?"
Hualing put away Xie Shaosheng's hand gently, "indeed not a deep injury. Third brother need not worry, this will improve after a while."
And sure enough, moments later the pain disappeared as quickly as he came. If only there was no sense of weakness left, even Hualing would think that all he felt was his hallucination.
"Are you sure?" Xie Shaosheng noticed Hualing's pale look. Although the look of the young girl showed no pain, but the shadow of her curled up with tightly clenched teeth was still freshly remembered.
"Is this the effect of knowing your real identity?" Ask later. Despite the doubt, Xie Shaosheng could not help but link Hualing's attack with their identity exposure, the article only after Hualing learned of his true identity did he just get an attack.
Hualing looked at Xie Shaosheng, he knew the man's worries were not fake, but he still felt hesitant to share what was happening.
"Have you heard the news? Actually right before the expedition started, the Demon King and some of his cronies broke through the Sky sect!"
The sudden conversation managed to attract all of Hualing's attention. Unknowingly he had sharpened his hearing, preventing a single word from escaping.
"Can this news be trusted?" The other cultivators belonging to the group asked doubtfully.
"of course! I heard it from my distant relatives who are disciples in the Sky Sect!"
"Then what is the purpose of this Demon King? Could it be that he had learned of the siege plan and was planning to attack first?"
"However, attacking with just a few cronies to a big sect, did this Demon King's head enter the water?" The others responded with scorn.
"Actually," the first speaker lowered his voice even further, "the Sect of Heaven has obtained a heavenly artifact from the ruins of the ninth heaven, but refuses to publish it."
The sound of breathing sounded earthy within the group, none of them were not surprised by this news. Whether this news was true or fake, if it was spread, the credibility of the Sky sect as the leader of the expedition would be questioned. Could it be true for the salvation of the world or exist because of the unspeakable motive behind it.
Xie Shaosheng glanced at the gossip group, then at the silent Hualing. He was one hundred percent sure that this sister also heard the conversation. Although faint, Xie Shaosheng could see the facial mimic change from him, especially when the topic of Heavenly Artifacts was mentioned.
Just from the change in Hualing's countenance, Xie Shaosheng could guess that Heavenly Artifact.
"Fate-breaking bell." The speaker looked around before speaking, as if making sure there were no unwanted listeners.
Xie Shaosheng, one of the unwanted listeners looked at the silent Hualing.
"Your pain, is it because of this?"
Xie Shaosheng already knew the answer to that question, but seeing Hualing nod still broke his heart.
"You know what they're doing." The sentence is not a question, but a statement.
"Trying to turn back time," Without further explanation, Hualing naturally understood 'they' were what Xie Shaosheng meant was someone in the Sky sect. And 'do' certainly refers to the use of destiny-breaking bells that make it uncomfortable.
"And tried to kill him."
Xie Shaosheng pinched the base of his nose uncomfortably. It seems that the actions of the Demon King just a moment ago were quite reasonable.
The man had to 'visit' the Sky sect to take back the destiny-breaking bell. Either because it was Hualing's original form, given how the two were related. Or maybe another motive is melatari.
While the two sect brothers were at a dead end, the few people they talked about were in the opposite situation.
Inside the cavern covered concealment array, the pair of teachers and disciples from the Sky sect were in a good mood. Because, after repeated experiments, they managed to find a gap in the making of the ownership contract of the destiny-breaking Bell.
Liang Song could only sigh in admiration. He was unable to reveal how extraordinary this war God Xue was. Not only did his power manage to shake the three realms, but also the spiritual tools he created managed to increase his admiration.
This spiritual tool, not only has heaven-defying uses, but it has also given birth to spirits. That was why, even though Bai Fengying agreed for him to make a possession contract, this bell rejected him firmly. Meanwhile Bai Fengying who had been approved as the owner, was unable to make a contract because the cultivation level was not high enough.
Liang Song once again sighed in admiration.
If the cultivation level of the artifact spirit he made was higher than Bai Fengying who was now at the initial period level divided the soul, how about the cultivation of the maker.
The world of the Gods seemed to be indeed unattainable to those mortals.
"Teacher, it reacts. There is no rejection!" Bai Fengying exclaimed, there was excitement from the look of his disciple.
"Yes. It seems that the fate-breaking bell doesn't mind others linking ownership contracts over it, as long as the other object of the contract is someone she agrees to."
"So? Is it now too?" Bai Fengying knew his question quite foolishly considering that the teacher had found a way to make a possession contract, but she was still unable to stop his mouth.
"Of course!"
