Chapter 1449: Death Spirits Arrive (2)

Bai Feng laughed, "It's fine. My teacher and martial uncle might look cold, but they are soft inside. They have merely been unable to forgive the past. There aren't that many multiple character faction members of Great Xia's line around anymore. Strictly speaking, Yun Chen is Principal Wan's teacher. He can be considered a senior of us. We won't stay apart forever."

"So you wish to serve as the bridge to reconnect them?"

"Not really. I don't have the right to make this decision for my martial uncle. But I can always ease my relationship with Yun Chen. After all, we belong to the same line."

Bai Feng smiled. He couldn't represent Liu Wenyan, but he was also a member of the same line. No matter what, someone from the same line would be more reliable than a complete outsider.

In any case, Liu Wenyan and the others were out exploring. They wouldn't be here to object. If Wu Lan was right, the blood...and the blood essence...would bring unimaginable effects. How powerful would the blood essence of someone like that be?

He did not even dare to imagine it. He wasn't even sure he would be able to extract the blood essence. Even if he could, there was no way he would be able to leave safely with the blood unless he had the protection of at least a Pseudo Invincible.

The blood of such a super expert could kill him just with its presence. Even Mountainseas and Sunmoons might not be able to withstand the presence of such blood. Thus, the assistance of an expert was required for this.

With that in mind, Bai Feng started approaching Yun Chen. Yun Chen was surprised to see that happen. An expectant look covered his eyes.

After Bai Feng explained his intentions, Yun Chen thought about it and agreed. In fact, he had only entered the mansion this time to serve as the dao protector of the multiple character faction.

Unfortunately, Liu Wenyan and the others had sneaked off without taking him along. He could follow them, but that would only invite their displeasure. Thus, he had decided to stay behind and watch over Bai Feng and the others.

At the very least, he could prevent them from doing anything stupid. The realm barrier was very dangerous as well, but there were no hidden treasures there. Thus, his protection would suffice. No matter what, he was someone capable of killing multiple Pseudo Invincibles. Nobody below the Invincible Realm would dare to provoke him. And thus, the group set off.

The realm barrier was incredibly powerful. It was almost indestructible. Bai Feng and Wu Lan knew that, but they didn't mind. If their theory were right, they might be able to find a small gap between cells. The gap wouldn't be so easy to open either, but it wouldn't be completely hopeless to open.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was very busy.

Alongside his two companions, he started moving all over the seventh level. They were not the only ones doing so. Many similar groups were roaming the level and moons had been dropping from the sky frequently.

Their prey were not stupid either. After realizing what was happening, they started to join hands with each other to hunt their hunters. Thus, people were dying nonstop.

***

Entrance.

About seven or eight Invincibles were keeping watch there. The rest of the Invincibles on the seventh level were waiting near Devote King's residence. One of the Invincibles keeping watch near the entrance was a human. He was none other than Zhu Tianfang.

He was strong enough to not be completely helpless even when he was facing He Tu. As for the leader of this group, it was none other than the Heaven Department head. He was the strongest of them all.

They all watched silently as the moons dropped from the sky. The slaughter was still ongoing. They couldn't be bothered to interfere. Since the juniors had decided to fight, it was only fair that they faced the risk associated with fighting as well.

Soon, one of them lost interest and said, "Will He Tu really come?"

Was He Tu aware of the number of Invincibles in the mansion this time? This had never happened in the past. At most, there would only be several Invincibles in the mansion at a time.

This time, the number was much bigger. Naturally, He Tu was unaware of that as he had been gone from the death tunnel for quite a while.

Someone else said, "Everyone, have any of the survivors ever seen He Tu with their own eyes?"

That question caused all the Invincibles to blank out. What?

The same Invincible continued, "Something feels wrong about this. He Tu is strong enough not to let even a single survivor escape. How did all those people survive and spread the word to everyone?"

"The confirmation came from the outside. Perhaps someone managed to send a warning out during the first disturbance."

Everyone nodded at that. This might be the case. Nevertheless, things were still suspicious. Not even these Invincibles were sure if He Tu was really in the mansion. Right as they were doubting He Tu's presence in the mansion, they were all slapped across their faces.

Boom!

The entrance activated and a figure emerged from it, alongside an incredibly dense wave of death qi. The Invincibles did not hesitate to attack.

He Tu was stunned momentarily.

Then, he cursed, "Holy shit!"

How was this possible? Why were there so many Eternals here? Yes. He had not expected this. He was aware that some Eternals might have entered. But according to his previous experience, there would only be three or four Eternals in the mansion at a time.

Thus, this was not something he had expected. He had been gone from his death tunnel long before the mansion was open. Thus, he had been cut off from the outside world for quite a while. As for his victims, he hadn't even bothered to question them since weaklings like them wouldn't know much anyway.

He regretted that.

Holy shit!

Damn it! Why were there so many Eternals?

One of them was even a ninth-degree Eternal.

He roared, "Dummy, open the way!"

Boom!

Instantly, the entrance was thrown wide open. Then, He Tu dove into the entrance and returned to the sixth level. The Heaven Department head's fist followed him into the entrance only to be met with another fist. With a rumble, the Heaven Department head was sent several steps backward.

Right after that exchange, the entrance was shut again. Behind the entrance, a large amount of death qi was leaking out of Dummy's mouth. Beside Dummy, He Tu looked at the entrance and cursed.

Holy shit!

What was going on?

Why were there so many Eternals there?

He looked at Dummy, exhaled in relief, and said, "Well done. Fortunately, you stopped him. You're quite strong, Dummy."

From the strength Dummy had revealed, he was at least a seventh-degree Eternal. Many of his memories were still missing.

Clearly, this person was very strong back when he was alive. He Tu speculated He Tu was probably as strong as him back then or even a Daofuse. Or perhaps he was quite normal before dying. He had simply grown strong after benefiting from the Celestial River of Death.

He Tu still remembered the massive phenomenon during Dummy's awakening. That was how he had discovered Dummy. It was clear that he had picked the correct helper. Without Dummy, he might have failed to escape from the seventh level.

How terrifying.

Damn it. Why were there so many Eternals on the seventh level? What was this?

***

On the other side of the entrance, a large number of Invincibles had gathered.

All of them had unsightly expressions.

The Heaven Department head sighed and said, "This is a surprise. He Tu is not alone. There is a second death sovereign and both are super experts. The second death sovereign is no weaker than He Tu."

This had caught them by surprise.

Two death sovereigns. The prospect of facing two high-degree Eternal death sovereigns caused all the Invincibles to turn solemn. Things were worse than they thought.

That wasn't the biggest issue here. A newly arrived Invincible said urgently, "We can't allow them to enter. Earlier, the tunnel under Devote King's residence was overflowing with death qi. He Tu's appearance must have triggered the tunnel. Also, He Tu used to know the way to activate death tunnels and summon death spirits. If he still has these memories, his arrival will be a disaster for us."

The expressions of the gathered Invincibles turned even more unsightly upon hearing that. That would truly be disastrous.

One of them grumbled, "Just how did they enter the mansion? Wasn't He Tu supposed to be alone? Why are there two death sovereigns?"

This would ruin all their previous plan.

The Invincibles acted in unison to wear down the death qi brought by He Tu. One of them said, "Disperse the death qi as soon as possible. If the death qi reaches a certain density, a new death tunnel might appear out here..."

The Invincibles did not hesitate to work together in this matter. He Tu had a history of pulling something like that. When the density of death qi reached a certain level, he would have the ability to open new death tunnels. That was the most troublesome aspect of facing him.

That might not be possible on the sixth level, but that wasn't the case for the seventh level since there was an existing death tunnel in the vicinity. The sixth level was essentially a different world. Here on the seventh level, He Tu would be able to open a new death tunnel easily.

***

At the same time.

Su Yu's group saw what happened earlier. They saw a crowned death sovereign appearing before being punched out of the entrance. They also saw an indistinct fist meeting the Heaven Department head's fist.

Su Yu was already aware that there were two death sovereigns, but that wasn't the case for the others. Pan Hu exclaimed in horror, "Two death sovereigns?"

At this point, he had completely rejected Dao Cheng's theory. Why? Because He Tu was really here. And there was a second death sovereign. It wasn't surprising for a powerful death sovereign to have powerful subordinates.

Fourth Heaven said solemnly, "That is not a regular Invincible. That is someone capable of exchanging a move with the Heaven Department head."

They could sense the large number of Invincibles gathered near the entrance. Clearly, the Invincibles were taking this matter a lot more seriously than before. Even some of the Invincibles keeping watch over the Devote King's residence had left. Two death sovereigns who were also high-degree Eternals were very thorny to deal with.
