With that, he concealed his evil aura, and his black robe transformed into a white one. A folding fan suddenly appeared in his hand.
Before long, a stunningly handsome young man clad in white entered South Valley City and strolled through the streets.
This young man in white was Han Feng.
After wandering about, he discovered that the strongest aura in the city only belonged to someone in the early-stage Rune Seed Realm.
To ordinary people, the early-stage Rune Seed Realm was an unattainable existence.
But for him, it was nothing. He could annihilate it with a flip of his hand.
However, just to be cautious, he decided not to make a move and entered a restaurant instead.
This restaurant was quite luxurious, and all kinds of martial artists patronized it. The weakest among them were in the Meridian Passage Realm, with occasional appearances from those in the Transforming Origin Realm and even the Origin Fluid Realm.
Han Feng sat alone by the window, drinking wine. His white attire and handsome face attracted many beautiful young women who tried to strike up a conversation with him.
Of course, the young man in white didn’t refuse any of them.
Through their conversations, he confirmed that there were no Gold Body realm demonic creatures in South Valley City.
Once bitten by a snake, Han Feng was still worried about encountering the same situation as last time.
To be honest, even though his soul and body had now completely fused together, and his strength had progressed even further, he still felt a sense of fear towards Lu Yun.
If he were to encounter another demonic being like Lu Yun, he wouldn’t have another Spatial Talisman to use.
After conducting his own thorough investigation and interrogating more than ten people, he finally relaxed, and his eyes gradually grew sinister.
” Why do I suddenly feel a little cold?”
The beautiful girl seated across from him couldn’t help shivering and murmured her confusion.
“Cold?”
A frosty, emotionless voice echoed in her ears.
Immediately after, she saw a scene she would never forget in her life.
The elegant and exceptionally handsome white-clothed young man before her suddenly transformed. His appearance remained striking, but now exuded an extremely sinister and terrifying aura that sent chills down one’s spine.
The many martial artists in the restaurant also sensed the change, and a strong unease began to take hold in their hearts.
As martial artists, their intuition was generally sharp, and their awareness of crises far exceeded ordinary people’s imaginations.
Subconsciously, they wanted to leave the restaurant to dispel the unease brewing within them.
But they found that their bodies couldn’t move, as if a tremendous force had bound them.
“What’s going on? I can’t move!” A middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes cried out in panic.
He was an Origin Fluid Realm martial artist, the strongest in the restaurant.
Even within the entirety of South Valley City, he was among the top few.
Now, however, he found himself unable to move, which greatly unsettled him.
” Hehe, all of you shall become one with me!”
Han Feng’s white clothes gradually turned black, becoming a pitch-black robe again. The power of the runes spread out, forming a black curtain that engulfed the entire restaurant.
All the martial artists within the restaurant had their faces frozen in terror as their bodies suddenly transformed into specks of light, dissipating into thin air.
In no time, the tables in the restaurant were still littered with food and drinks, but there were no customers to be seen.
Then, the black curtain began to spread in all directions with the restaurant at its core.
No one, whether an ordinary citizen or an Origin Fluid Realm martial artist, could escape from the advancing black curtain. Not even their bones remained.
With his soul and body now completely fused, and being a step closer to the peak of the Rune Realm, his control over divine abilities had improved even more.
In the great hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, a robust man sat drinking alone.
Upon hearing the clamor outside, his brow furrowed.
Ever since he had been entrusted by the sect to oversee the city, few people dared to make a racket and create disturbances outside.
He angrily gulped down a large mouthful of wine, his face contorted with irritation. Then he got up and walked towards the door.
“If you don’t want to die, keep quiet for me!”
A thunderous roar resounded throughout the entire City Lord’s Mansion and even echoed across a ten-mile radius.
However, this had no effect. The noise outside still persisted.
“Hmm, is someone daring to challenge my authority?”
With that, he flew into the sky above the City Lord’s Mansion, wanting to see who would dare to cause trouble.
As he arrived in the air, he saw a shocking scene.
Dark shadows intertwined, like a giant net covering more than half of South Valley City, and at a very fast speed, spreading towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
Within those dark shadows, be it the ordinary people bustling on the streets, or the martial artists in taverns and teahouses, all of them trembled and turned into spots of light, disappearing.
Only Golden Body Realm martial artists were able to survive, bursting out at their fastest speed, approaching the City Lord’s Mansion.
However, giant black hands extended out from the dark shadows, grabbing towards these fleeing Golden Body Realm martial artists.
Once caught by the black hands, they would become trapped, as if held in place by some force, unable to move. Then all of their vitality and blood essence would be absorbed, and in the end, they would similarly turn into spots of light and disappear.
“Elder Chen, help!”
Those Golden Body Realm martial artists who hadn’t been caught by the black hands yet, cried out upon seeing the burly man.
The burly man was the City Lord of South Valley City and also one of the elders of the Profound Darkness Sect, named Chen Zhengtang.
He hesitated for just a moment before turning to flee.
Witnessing the strange black hands, he couldn’t muster up any resistance at all.
He knew his own strength.
Although he could instantly kill a Golden Body Realm martial artist, he couldn’t make one’s corpse completely disappear in just a few breaths’ time.
The flesh of a Golden Body Realm martial artist was comparable to Mysterious Instruments. It wasn’t difficult to destroy them, but to completely erase them…
He couldn’t do it.
“Hehe, one Rune Seed Realm is equivalent to ten Golden Body Realms; there’s no way I’d let you escape.”
Wearing a black robe with a distorted face, Han Feng appeared out of nowhere above Chen Zhengtang, blocking his path.
“Who are you, daring to cause trouble in my Profound Darkness Sect’s territory? Aren’t you afraid that my sect’s experts will kill you?”
Seeing this, Chen Zhengtang mustered up his courage and rebuked.
“Profound Darkness Sect, so I’m still within the territory of the Profound Darkness Sect. That makes things even better.”
Han Feng said something that made no sense, then directly used his Divine Ability, Abyss Prison.
Under this Divine Ability, even a formidable Rune Seed Realm martial artist had no power to resist. He stood there stupefied in the air, as black hands wrapped around him.
Inside the Profound Darkness Sect’s main hall.
The Sect Leader of the Profound Darkness Sect sat there, and other Rune Seed Realm experts as well as Golden Core Realm martial artists were present, evidently discussing an important matter.
At this time, the Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain arrived at the main hall.
Upon seeing Zhang Danyang, the gloomy expression on the Profound Darkness Sect Leader’s face finally eased a bit.
“Celestial Master Zhang is here.”
“What’s the matter? Are you preparing for a full-scale battle with the Demon Suppression Army?”
Observing the solemn atmosphere in the main hall and the gloomy face of the Profound Darkness Sect Leader, the Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain’s expression was rather calm.
He was usually invited to participate in the Profound Darkness Sect’s meetings for matters related to the Demon Suppression Army.
So, he had already prepared himself before coming.
The Profound Darkness Sect Leader shook his head slightly, “Two days ago, several hundred thousand people in South Valley City suddenly disappeared, including one of our Rune Seed Realm elders and a dozen stewards.”
“There are less than ten million people in our sect’s territory. Losing hundreds of thousands of people at once is undoubtedly a huge loss to our sect.”
At this point, he paused for a moment.
“Moreover, to make hundreds of thousands of people, including a Rune Seed Realm martial artist, disappear without a trace, this is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.
I suspect that a Golden Core Realm True Master is behind this.”
“Is the Demon Suppression Army responsible for this?”
“It should not be. Knowing the Demon Suppression Army, they wouldn’t act like this, and it’s impossible for them to bypass us and go straight to South Valley City.”
“Could it be the Ten Thousand Demons Sect?”
With narrowed eyes, the Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhang Danyang, pointed out that the Profound Darkness Domain was adjacent to the Ten Thousand Demon Domain.
Profound Darkness Domain was ruled by the Profound Darkness Sect while the Ten Thousand Demon Domain was ruled by the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. The two sides had a lot of conflicts and skirmishes were common.
Now that the Profound Darkness Sect was entangled with the Demon Suppression Army, it would be normal for the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to take advantage of the situation.
