Free Web NovelChapter 682: Chapter 255: Battle of the Golden Core
As the Artifact Spirit of the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace, it was awakened by Shen Chongxu with his own essence blood, and then cultivated into a Blood Puppet Avatar using a Soul Seed.
Between Wushi Qianrou and Shen Chongxu, there exists a connection that is difficult to sever.
This connection was still perceptible to Wushi Qianrou on Yangquan Mountain when Shen Chongxu ventured to Yangnao Land.
Yet, some time ago, Wushi Qianrou suddenly discovered that her connection with Shen Chongxu had been severed!
Initially, she merely thought that there might be certain arrays within the Shen Family, coupled with the great distance, that disrupted their connection.
But as days passed by, Wushi Qianrou’s heart gradually became anxious.
Just now, that connection briefly recovered, only to swiftly disappear again. Wushi Qianrou vaguely realized something might truly have happened to Shen Chongxu.
"No, I can’t wait any longer!"
After anxiously murmuring, a hint of determination flashed through Wushi Qianrou’s eyes. She immediately waved her hand, sweeping up the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace and vanished from the bedchamber.
Void Combination Corridor Array.
A large number of cultivators clad in black armor formed one phalanx after another, orderly passing through the array’s gap, continuously heading towards Yangnao Land.
On the other side of the array, Wushi Ao gazed at the vast number of cultivators before him, his gaze intense as he spoke in a deep voice, "Everyone, conceal your presence, proceed to Yingchuan County City and await orders."
In response to the orders, countless cultivator soldiers activated the battle array, cloaking their presence and figures before flying towards Yingchuan County City.
After these soldiers had left, Wushi Ao slightly cupped his hands towards the void ahead.
"Brother Huang."
The void before him distorted momentarily, then a figure dressed in a profound black robe with golden patterns, wearing a Twelve-Streamed Imperial Crown, appeared.
This figure was none other than Wushi Puppet, the Sovereign of Fushan Country.
"Let’s go, I’m quite curious to see whether those guys can really hold back this time."
Wushi Ao, respectfully cupping his hands, was about to leave with Wushi Puppet when suddenly, a scarlet streaming light shot forth from the gap in the Void Reunion Corridor Array, flying into the distance!
"Hmm?"
"What is that..."
Noticing the scarlet streaming light, Wushi Puppet’s expression froze, then immediately turned joyful!
He instantly reached out towards the scarlet streaming light that had already flown far away!
In the void, just after passing through the Void Reunion Corridor Grand Array and urgently heading towards the Shen Family, Wushi Qianrou never imagined she’d encounter people from Fushan Country at the array.
Nor did she expect to meet the Sovereign of Fushan Country, Wushi Puppet, and Wushi Ao, his brother.
Racing at high speed, she suddenly noticed an earth-yellow spiritual power hand reaching out towards her, causing her heart to instantly shudder!
"Qianrou, is that really you?"
After being grasped by the earth-yellow hand, both Wushi Puppet and Wushi Ao clearly saw her appearance.
Wushi Qianrou was originally a Commandery Princess of Fushan Country, and a cherished great-granddaughter of Sovereign Wushi Puppet, favored for her exceptional talent.
After she was captured by Shen Chongxu and others, Wushi Puppet indeed searched for her extensively but never found her.
Unexpectedly, they encountered her today in Yangnao Land.
Upon hearing this voice, Wushi Qianrou’s heart sank further.
As the Artifact Spirit had taken over Wushi Qianrou’s body, inheriting all her memories, she naturally knew whose voice this was.
This was a formidable Golden Core Realm expert, who only needed a careful examination to easily discover that she was an impostor!
Wushi Qianrou frantically scoured her memories, pondering how to deceive Wushi Puppet when suddenly, Wushi Puppet’s voice turned icy.
"You’re not Qianrou?!"
"Ah, so daring to seize my descendant, you’re truly fearless!"
As his words faded, the spiritual power hand, which had only gripped lightly, suddenly exerted force!
Buzz!
Feeling that this body was about to be crushed, Wushi Qianrou dared not risk exposure and immediately transformed into a blood light, diving into the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace and fled hastily towards Yunshui City!
Wushi Puppet never expected that the entity seizing his great-granddaughter was a Magical Artifact and that it possessed such methods.
In the moment of his heart’s pause, the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace took advantage and escaped directly.
"Very well..."
"Having killed such a highly talented descendant of mine, you offer me a rather fine Ancient Magical Artifact. Qianrou’s death was not in vain."
Before the words had completely faded, his eyes flashed with a trace of greed as he hurriedly pursued the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace, without bothering to conceal his own aura.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Black Water Pavilion of Yunshui City.
Shen Wen’an had just returned from outside, reporting to his father, Shen Yuan, about the spirit matters, when he suddenly sensed the arrival of a Golden Core Realm cultivator’s aura at the location of the Void Reunion Corridor Grand Array.
Besides this Golden Core cultivator’s aura, there was also a somewhat familiar Evil Blood Qi rapidly approaching Yunshui City.
"Father, I’ll go out for a bit."
Before the words had completely faded, his form transformed into a soaring sword aura, heading towards the direction of the Void Reunion Corridor Grand Array.
Above the desolate mountains, the scarlet streaming light from the transformed Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace was like a headless fly, burning the blood Qi power accumulated within the furnace, in a desperate attempt to shake off Wushi Puppet in pursuit.
Nevertheless, a Golden Core cultivator is a Golden Core cultivator; Wushi Puppet’s speed was incredibly swift, catching up in just the blink of an eye.
"Surely a fine treasure!"
"It seems to be an ancient Demon Artifact!"
Seeing the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace up close and sensing the Blood Evil Demon Qi within it, Wushi Puppet’s heart was filled with excitement.
"Stop running, meeting me is your good fortune."
"Only in my hands can you achieve your maximum potential."
