Rumble~
Boundless energy surged in the surroundings and the sky darkened. The sky very soon rumbled with chaotic lightning that wanted to tear apart the world.
Wind become stronger and stronger with each passing second, seemingly transforming into a storm that had the ability to create tsunamis and shatter huge mountains into pieces.
“This is…?”
Qi Yaner was shocked beyond belief by the sudden change in the atmosphere.
Just now, she was still immersed in happiness for obtaining the spatial ring filled with countless treasures including Heavenly Soul Treasures. And suddenly, the environment changed.
For a moment, she could not understand what was happening.
However, she soon saw Ye Xiao standing not far away, looking at the sky with an excited expression on his face. He was smiling in a manner that was enough to show how thrilled he was at the moment.
But why? 𝓭ℴ𝓋.𝒸ℴ𝓶
As she thought of this, she followed Ye Xiao’s gaze and looked in time at the Sphere of Light filled with endless vitality slowly disappearing.
If she had been even ten seconds late, she would not have been able to witness the scene of the Source of Vitality disappearing.
In fact, the Source of Vitality did not disappear, it was completely absorbed by Ye Xiao’s weapon, the Void Shattering Spear. And the Void Shattering Spear was in the process of evolving which resulted in a sudden change in the environment.
“This weapon… It actually caused such a phenomenon to appear while undergoing evolution. It is not an ordinary weapon.”
Qi Yaner muttered in a low voice while looking at the Void Shattering Spear that was undergoing an earthshattering change. The aura on this spear was constantly becoming stronger and stronger without showing any sign of weakening.
And very soon, the aura of the Void Shattering Spear went beyond what a Soulbound Weapon could ever have.
It was terrifying.
The body of Void Shattering Spear also went through a change. Previously, although it looked kind of majestic, it was still just an ordinary-looking Soulbound Weapon. However, after its evolution, many strange patterns could be seen appearing on the Void Shattering Spear. And these patterns were actually glowing with faint green light. It looked amazing.
After its evolution, the phenomenon in the sky disappeared and the Void Shattering Spear returned to Ye Xiao’s hand.
Surprisingly, the moment Void Shattering Spear completed its evolution and returned to Ye Xiao, a slight tremble appeared in the entire secret spatial zone, and the next instant, Phantom, Ye Xiao, and Qi Yaner found themselves inside the library.
It was obvious that the secret spatial zone was destroyed now that its purpose of being was completed. And then Phantom, Ye Xiao, and Qi Yaner were sent back to the library.
Ye Xiao kept the Void Shattering Spear and then looked at the entrance of the secret spatial zone that has disappeared at some unknown time.
Sighing, both Ye Xiao, Qi Yaner, and Phantom went out.
When Qi Xuan met Qi Yaner and come to know about her identity, he could not suppress the shock he received from this news. At the same time, he also became increasingly happy to know that his Qi Family finally has a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior as well. Now, the Qi Family has nothing to fear.
…..
After some time, Ye Xiao was ready to leave the Qi Family and go to participate in the Red Star Tournament.
Unlike previous times, he did not continue the journey on the flying ship. Instead, he jumped on the back of Phantom and was ready to fly. On the other hand, Hao Lufan, Fang Da, and a few other members of the Hao Family started the flying ship and flew on the horizon.
As the flying ship flew, Phantom shook its body and followed behind the flying ship at an incredible speed.
However, even though it was fast, it could not be as fast as the flying ship. Thus, Hao Lufan ordered his subordinates to fly at a slower speed so that Phantom and Ye Xiao could keep up with them.
The Star Forest Region was huge, and the scenery varied.
A few hours later, when they were flying above a grassy plane, the sky suddenly seemed to turn dark. A cold and hoarse voice echoed in the surroundings.
“Heh, little fellows, where else can you run to?”
Ye Xiao looked up and realized that the sky was covered by a black mist. This black mist even had a corrosive aura, and there were faint wails and howls.
A mysterious person in a black robe, with a face that of an old lady, was shrouded in the black mist.
“Old Witch Ren!”
Seeing this scene in front of him, Hao Lufan’s expression turned cold, and a trace of wariness flashed across his eyes.
“Save… save us…”
A few young men and women stumbled over from afar. All of them were pale and exhausted, as if they were being pursued by something horrifying.
“Who is she?” Ye Xiao frowned when he saw this scene and asked.
“She is Old Witch Ren, the strongest expert of the Black Witch Clan. The combat skills she uses are all strange and impossible to guard against. Moreover, it has already been more than 1,000 years since Old Witch Ren become a Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. She is extremely powerful and not someone we can afford to provoke. Young Master Ye, although your background is marvelous, in the Star Forest Region that is hundreds of millions of miles away from the Cloudy Star Region, your background might not be of much use. Mainly when it comes to someone like the Old Witch Ren. It’ll be better for us to leave quickly.”
Hao Lufan’s tone was very solemn. It was obvious that he was extremely wary of this Old Witch Ren.
Ye Xiao did not comment. He glanced at the young men and women who were enveloped in the black mist. Then, amidst cold laughter, they slowly turned into skin and bones. The flesh on their bodies seemed to have disappeared. In the blink of an eye, they had turned into skeletons. It was indeed very sinister.
“Go!”
Ye Xiao and the others headed out directly.
“Heh, since you’re here, forget about leaving.”
However, at this time, Old Witch Ren’s voice came from the black mist.
Hao Lufan’s expression changed slightly. Then, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. His aura erupted like the sun.
“Old Witch Ren, I’m Hao Lufan from Crystal City. I was invited by Lord Chen to participate in the Red Star Tournament. We merely entered the Black Witch Clan’s territory by accident. Please do us a favor and let us leave.”
Hao Lufan’s voice spread majestically. The reputation of the Hao Family in Crystal City was still somewhat prestigious. Old Witch Ren probably would not make things difficult for the Hao Family.
However, as soon as Hao Lufan finished speaking, not only did the surrounding black fog not dissipate, it grew thicker and thicker. For a moment, Hao Lufan’s expression also darkened.
“Old Witch Ren, you want to make an enemy of the Hao Family?”
“Heh, Old Man Hao, what an arrogant tone you have there. So what if I make an enemy of the Hao Family? Do you have the strength to kill me or destroy my clan?”
Old Witch Ren’s voice came from all directions. It sounded near and far in turn, but no one could tell where she was hiding.
Hao Lufan’s face was dark. He was about to say something else, but Ye Xiao waved his hand. His gaze was cold as he said to the surrounding black mist, “Old Witch Ren, you should be cautious in everything you do. Don’t provoke someone you can not afford to offend. Although some things are precious, they’re not that easy to obtain.”
As he spoke, as if Ye Xiao had seen through everything, he again asked, “Now tell me, who asked you to intercept and kill us?”
As Ye Xiao’s voice rumbled, it spread like thunder.
In a cave somewhere not far away, a short woman completely wrapped in a black robe revealed a trace of surprise. She was Old Witch Ren. That black mist was just the product of a formation she had set up.
“Oh, you actually guessed this point so quickly. You are not too foolish. You’ve figured out that I am here to kill you all. Originally, I wouldn’t interfere in the Hao Family’s matters but Cao Shuan’s offer was just too generous for me to refuse.”
A ferocious glint flashed across Old Witch Ren’s eyes as she spoke.
“Cao Shuan?”
A cold glint flashed in Hao Lufan’s eyes and he seemed to have understood this matter completely. He looked at Ye Xiao and apologized, “Young Master Ye, please forgive me to involve you in my troubles. Actually, Cao Shuan is my old enemy and he had always wanted to kill me and destroy the Hao Family so that he can take away the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda.”
“I just did not expect him to attack us at this time when we are going to participate in the Red Star Tournament.”
