Chapter 900
Chapter 901
Burning Heaven Island actually has Time Soil. Xia Feng was very tempted.
He was just hesitant earlier. After all, he would rather deal with Huang Shikui than resist the Abyssal Bone Flower. It was more convenient to solve the problem from the root cause.
However, he couldn’t think of a way to get past Huang Ye and attack Huang Shikui.
Now it seemed that he could only go to Burning Heaven Island first and take it one step at a time.
As for the danger of encountering that morbid elder sister, it wasn’t a big problem. After all, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. He would follow the Sin Legion and Huang Zhaoyue. If there was real danger, these people would die first.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng felt much more at ease.
“There is another problem. What identity should I use to go with you? If a mysterious person appears out of thin air by your side, surely those two Shadow Venerables will test my identity.”
“You can transform into this.”
As Huang Zhaoyue spoke, the shadow beneath her feet began to undulate like a living creature, condensing and forming an elegant black cat with cold orange eyes staring at Xia Feng.
“This is this King’s Sin Shadow, named Jiyuan.”
Sin Shadow, short for the shadow of Great Sin, is an S-grade Spirit Robe that can cultivate shadows into spirits. The specific life form depends on the cultivator’s personality and past.
Each Spirit Master who cultivates the Sin Shadow has a unique form and vastly different abilities.
This is why the generals of the Sin Legion are also known as Shadow Masters.
Xia Feng walked towards the black cat with great interest. The black cat’s tail immediately bristled, its orange-yellow eyes staring coldly at him. That cold gaze was very similar to Huang Zhaoyue’s.
However, under Huang Zhaoyue’s control, it gradually stabilized.
Xia Feng squatted down and reached out to stroke the black cat’s head, activating Myriad Phenomena Manifestation.
After a while, his body, which was enormous compared to the black cat, dispersed into black mist, shrinking into a cat, and landing with a plop.
Two black cats, two pairs of orange-yellow eyes stared at each other. The real black cat’s tail bristled even higher, as if it had seen something terrifying.
His vision suddenly lowered, and Xia Feng felt a little unaccustomed to it. He raised his paw – no, more accurately, his front right paw. The palm was pale white, and sharp claws sprang out with a swish, flashing with cold light.
He curiously swung his left and right paw upwards. The black cat in front of him couldn’t help but show a human-like disdainful look, as if mocking Xia Feng for not even knowing how to use his claws, calling him stupid.
“Let’s go, it’s time to depart.”
As Huang Zhaoyue said in a low voice, the real black cat dissipated and merged back into the shadow.
Xia Feng looked back at the black and white female shadow walking out of the temple gate. He stepped forward, leaped into the air, and landed lightly and elegantly on the woman’s shoulder.
Although only a trace of the abyss’s evil power remained, it was enough for Xia Feng to blend into the eerie aura around Huang Zhaoyue, so as not to be repelled or attacked.
However, due to his Pale bloodline, at such close range, intense killing intent still surged in his soul. His cat claws subconsciously extended, as if he were about to claw at the woman’s throat.
Huang Zhaoyue also frowned. The bloodline-based animosity still made the two of them somewhat uncomfortable.
She suppressed the negative emotions from the depths of her soul and looked up at the starry sky. In an instant, the surrounding misty scenery flickered and turned black and white, then flickered back to colorful.
Before Xia Feng could even react, the scene in front of him transformed into a futuristic starship control hall.
In the hall, besides Shadow Venerable Ni Yan and Shadow Venerable Zhuo Hua, there were twenty other people, all wearing ink-black armor. The streamlined surfaces of their armor were etched with divine patterns, covering their faces except for their nostrils and eyes.
Judging by their auras, these twenty people were at least at the True Martial Realm, with some even at the Venerable Four Realm.
“Your Highness the Imperial Concubine!” The twenty Shadow Guards knelt on one knee simultaneously, their right gauntlets striking their chests, and said respectfully in a deep voice.
Ni Yan and Zhuo Hua turned their heads and bowed respectfully.
Huang Zhaoyue nodded imperceptibly and said in a low voice, “The Empire’s major legions have been tracking Burning Heaven Island for three thousand years without success. How did the Sin Day track its Spacetime?”
“Heh heh~ Your Highness thinks too much.”
The man in the feathered robe chuckled, “Even if Sin Day successfully planted an informant in the high ranks of the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall, the Spacetime coordinates of Burning Heaven Island, and even the Spacetime coordinates of all Burning Heaven cultists, have long been encrypted by special laws and cannot be transmitted in any form.”
“After that informant escaped Burning Heaven Island, he only provided a general range of his current location, but this was enough to cause him severe backlash from the laws, resulting in serious injuries.
Therefore, our time is limited, and we must successfully guide him before the Burning Heaven Sacred Hall captures him!”
Hearing this, Huang Zhaoyue nodded and asked no further questions. She handed over command to Zhuo Hua, turned, and left the control hall for the training room.
After Huang Zhaoyue was completely gone, Zhuo Hua rubbed his shoulder and stood up, cursing, “This crazy woman is really ruthless. It’s been almost an hour, and her injuries have not recovered!”
“I told you, don’t provoke her,” Shadow Venerable Ni Yan said indifferently with his eyes closed.
“Tsk, do you think I wanted to provoke her?” Zhuo Hua’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and his gaze turned cold. “That useless Huang Shikui used the Pillar State token to suppress me, forcing me to test Her Highness the Imperial Concubine’s strength. Now that the dangerous test is over, I must say, she has indeed weakened a bit. Interesting.”
Ni Yan did not express his opinion. He just turned his wooden face to the man in the feathered robe, and the rhino horn on his forehead flickered coldly.
“Alright, alright, I did receive some benefits from Huang Shikui, otherwise, who would be willing to provoke that Imperial Concubine.”
Zhuo Hua bent down and brushed the dust off his knees, smiling lightly, “I have to say, as expected of the son of a Pillar State, although he is useless, his generosity is indeed extraordinary.”
Ni Yan finally spoke, “Zhuo Hua, you haven’t forgotten, have you? His Highness has killed a Shadow Venerable. That Shadow Venerable was your predecessor. The Pillar State’s attitude towards this matter was merely a hundred years of quiet cultivation and reflection for His Highness.”
“Heh heh~ I naturally haven’t forgotten such a thing.”
Zhuo Hua’s eyes narrowed, but he smiled at the wooden man, “However, Ni Yan, you have the ability to listen to all things, but you can’t guess people’s hearts.”
“?”
Ni Yan didn’t understand, but Zhuo Hua knew very well that all of Huang Shikui’s actions were under the Pillar State’s watchful eye. Testing Huang Zhaoyue’s strength was, in a way, also the Pillar State’s intention.
In the past, as long as Huang Shikui dared to order others to target Huang Zhaoyue, the Pillar State would directly descend divine punishment upon Huang Shikui, and it wouldn’t be ordinary punishment, but a soul-torturing lightning ordeal.
But this time was different. The Pillar State showed no reaction.
What this meant was self-evident.
Huang Zhaoyue’s momentum was gone.
In fact, the Shadow Venerables could vaguely see that the Pillar State intended to use His Highness the Imperial Concubine to complete some kind of mysterious ritual.
Perhaps, after this ritual ended, the arrogant and untouchable Her Highness the Imperial Concubine would be like a wild dog by the roadside. Even if she barked ferociously, it would not change her fate of being slaughtered.
Zhuo Hua quietly gazed at the serene azure blue sea flow outside the window, a subtle smile playing on his lips.
He actually still had quite a few trump cards and means given by Huang Shikui. This mission was sure to be foolproof!
