Chapter 139: Old Sun: Uncle Fu??
Chapter 139: Old Sun: Uncle Fu??
Deep within the earth, the Demon Palace.
Puff!
Mingzi, who had been sitting in meditation, suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face dark and eyes filled with shock.
"Was your clone destroyed?"
A tall figure shrouded in darkness spoke up, "Was the process of condensing the earth veins not going smoothly? Did you encounter someone from the Su family?"
Mingzi slowly stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, "No, it was a Divine Body Realm cultivator."
"Divine Body Realm?"
The man in the darkness sounded somewhat surprised, "Even if it was just your clone, it had the power of a perfected Divine Body."
"Even some peak Divine Body Realm geniuses are no match for you. Did you get careless and get ambushed?"
Mingzi closed his eyes, recalling the terrifying power of that single punch, and said softly, "It wasn't an ambush. That person used just one punch to instantly kill me."
The man in the darkness didn't speak, but his deep, profound aura fluctuated for a moment, revealing his inner turmoil.
"Did you bring back the Earth Stele?" the man asked.
"No, it's still deep within the Blood Pool."
Mingzi shook his head, his expression unreadable, "The earth vein mark hasn't fully condensed yet. The Earth Stele is still locked in place."
"Those people don't understand the method of condensing the vein mark. After an hour, the Earth Stele will return to its original form."
The man in the darkness nodded and said, "Rest and recover. Wait for the Heavenly Demon Pool to open."
"I will send Mo Lin to that area. He will kill the person and bring back the vein mark."
Mingzi said nothing, nodded, and turned to leave.
...
Above the mountains.
"How is this possible!"
Seeing Mingzi's clone explode with a single punch, Moyan's face instantly changed.
As a member of the Demon Sect, he was well aware of Mingzi's formidable strength.
But now, he had been instantly killed by someone of the same realm?
"Heh, surprised?"
Old Sun glanced at him, not the least bit surprised, and sneered, "You have no idea who you're dealing with."
Moyan glared coldly at Su Changqing, his face filled with rage.
The attempt to condense the vein mark had failed, and they had lost one of Mingzi's clones. Today's mission was a complete failure.
Suddenly, his expression changed, as if he had received some news.
"Old man!"
Moyan's face twisted into a grim smile, "None of you will leave here today!"
Old Sun looked into the distance, sensing something, and his face changed slightly.
...
Below.
Xuan Qingzi and Wu Yong had also dealt with the other Demon Sect disciples.
Though there were many of them, their strength was average, and they were easy to kill.
Approaching the scene, Xuan Qingzi saw the blood-filled lake and closed his eyes, whispering, "Infinite Reverence to the Heavenly Venerable!"
Wu Yong cursed, "These heartless bastards, they even kill ordinary people!"
Su Changqing sat down in meditation, seemingly speaking softly to the thousands of bones, "I learned a sutra for guiding the dead. I don't know if it will help."
"May you all rest in peace."
As he spoke, mysterious and profound chants echoed through the air.
Su Changqing couldn't quite describe his feelings.
Perhaps it was because he had studied medicine, Confucianism, and Buddhism.
Combined with his unique soul, he had a different perspective on the common people.
Looking at the piles of ordinary human bones, a wave of inexplicable anger surged in his heart.
He could do little.
The sutra he recited might be more for his own peace of mind than for the souls of the dead.
However, as he finished reciting the sutra, wisps of black smoke transformed into men and women floating in the air.
They seemed almost ethereal, as if a breeze could extinguish them.
All of them bowed in gratitude and then vanished in an instant.
Strangely, as the smoke dissipated, the cold, resentful aura of the place seemed to diminish.
"May you all rest in peace."
Su Changqing smiled and waved at the empty sky.
Wu Yong and Xuan Qingzi watched this scene quietly, their eyes filled with a strange light.
For some reason, they always felt that Su Changqing had a unique aura.
This aura was entirely different from that of transcendent cultivators, seeming more like that of a real person.
"Is Senior Sun alright?" After his spirit calmed slightly, Su Changqing looked at the sky and asked.
"Heh, I'm fine. Old Sun is tough."
Wu Yong laughed loudly, then looked at the bottom of the Blood Pool, surprised, "The mark is still there. Is it being suppressed by that stone tablet?"
Xuan Qingzi and Su Changqing looked down.
At the bottom of the Blood Pool, there was a stone tablet about ten feet tall, covered in intricate and strange patterns.
Below the tablet, a pale yellow, snake-like gas was struggling violently.
Above the gas, there was a mark emitting a misty glow.
"Legend has it that the Demon Sect has a stele from the same era as the ancient stone carvings, inscribed with the supreme secrets of the Demon Sect."
"After pondering for countless years, the Demon Sect finally deciphered part of its mystery, discovering how to suppress and control the earth veins."
Xuan Qingzi looked at the stone tablet and slowly said, "This tablet is not the main body; it seems to be a small part split off from the main body."
"Its function is to suppress the earth veins and then refine the earth vein mark."
Wu Yong was startled upon hearing this, then became overjoyed, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's move it!"
"This isn't the main body; taking it won't be of much use."
Xuan Qingzi said helplessly, "Once the main body of the tablet is activated, this small part will instantly return."
"Unless..."
He paused, then looked at Su Changqing, "Before that happens, we need to refine this tablet and thoroughly understand the secret techniques inscribed on it."
Wu Yong's gaze also turned to Su Changqing.
When it came to comprehending secret techniques, he had never seen anyone better than Su Changqing.
"I'll give it a try."
Su Changqing pondered for a moment, then sat cross-legged on the ground, his gaze fixed on the inscriptions at the bottom of the Blood Pool.
The inscriptions on the tablet were not complete; some parts were cut off in the middle.
However, at the center, there was a complete small technique that could be comprehended.
Su Changqing calmed his mind and spirit, his eyes flashing with a bright light.
...
Meanwhile, high in the sky, the battle continued, but Old Sun was already drenched in cold sweat.
He deliberately moved away from Wu Yong and the others, heading to a more distant place.
"Want to protect those little guys?"
Yeyu sneered, "Too late. Once I kill you, those brats won't stand a chance!"
"Damn, why haven't they come yet!"
Old Sun gazed at the distant sky, where rolling demonic clouds were swiftly approaching.
The terrifying aura emanating from them made his heart tremble.
The one coming... was a Great Sage!
The Demon Sect actually arrived faster than the Su family!
"Yeyu, go kill those brats; this one is mine."
A cold voice echoed from the sky, and Molin, carrying overwhelming demonic qi, blocked Old Sun's path.
"Heh, old man, have fun."
Yeyu laughed and, with a mocking tone, turned and headed back to the mountains.
"Are Sages very strong?"
Molin looked at Old Sun with a cold, indifferent gaze and said disdainfully, "Die."
Boom!
A thousand-foot-long blade light split the heavens, leaving jagged cracks across the sky, and it slashed down at Old Sun with overwhelming force.
"My fate is sealed!"
Old Sun's face was deathly pale, and he gave a bitter smile as he faced the terrifying blade.
But at that moment, a calm, elderly voice suddenly echoed from the sky.
"Break!"
Boom!
The spiritual energy within the heavens suddenly boiled, and a pair of sky-blocking palms grasped the falling blade light.
As the palms tightened, the blade light instantly shattered.
Molin's expression stiffened, and Old Sun's expression was stunned.
A gentle, elderly laugh slowly sounded from behind Old Sun, "Baiting out a Sage is enough."
"The rest, I'll handle it."
Upon hearing this, Old Sun hurriedly turned to look back.
But when he saw the familiar, smiling face, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Uncle Fu?"
