At the lake bottom, Shi Yan closed his eyes, his breathing steady. Starlight radiated from his chest.
The Star Original Essence looked like a big glorious diamond, shooting out starlight that stormed towards Shi Yan and disappeared into his chest in just a blink of an eye.
All of a sudden, it seemed Shi Yanâs soul had absorbed by some energy. He had no energy fluctuation now. It seemed even his soul had paused. If Ye Chang Feng didnât see Shi Yan still breathing, he would have shaken him already.
Yang Tian Emperor, Di Shan, and Li Zheng Rong had gone up to the lake surface. Ye Chang Feng sometimes faced up to check the situation above his head, to see if anything was strange or not.
The lake was still quiet. There was neither a sign of a battle nor strong living fluctuation.
Only the starlight still plunged down from the sky like fireflies. They pierced through the lake surface, falling into Shi Yanâs chest.
Ye Chang Feng stayed at the bottom of the lake, so he could feel some magical sound emitted from Shi Yan. Gradually, he felt as if his soul and spirit resonated with Shi Yan.
Star dots in his eyes became the thought from Shi Yanâs Soul Consciousness, giving him a feeling of having a life.
Ye Chang Feng was petrified, his face shocked.
He was sure that even Shi Yan didnât know what was happening to him. He didnât know that he had attracted so many star dots in the sky. They gathered around him and changed the Star Martial Spirit in his chest.
Ye Chang Feng could observe clearly!
When the lively star dots gathered in front of Shi Yanâs chest, they started to move on a magical trajectory, following some rules.
Ye Chang Feng exclaimed in his heart. He shook his head continually as he knew that after this event, Shi Yan could surely break through the second time.
By the time Ye Chang Feng had met Shi Yan, Shi Yanâs realm was relatively low at the Nirvana Realm.
After just ten years, Shi Yan had leaped up from the Nirvana Realm to the Second Sky of Spirit Realm. And, in a short time, he would have the chance to break through the Third Sky of Spirit Realm!
Thinking about this fast progress, Ye Chang Feng couldnât hold his sigh. He had to accept this fate, giving the title genius to Shi Yan.
All of a sudden, Ye Chang Fengâs pupils shrank. His face changed.
He could vaguely feel the new energy fluctuation above the lake. It seemed some new hotshots had arrived.
He knew that the short peace of this lake was about to be broken.
Above the lake surfaceâŚ
Yang Tian Emperor, Di Shan, and Li Zheng Rong were knitting their brows silently, their face grim. Especially Li Zheng Rong, he was surprised for a moment he felt his heart sinking. He let out a low shout. âQiu Hong!â
Qiu Hong was the white-headed hotshot of the Heaven Temple with the Peak of Spirit Realm cultivation base. His face was always stiff, with a pair of unmoving eyes. He gave people the feeling of the dead.
Qiu Hong took more than ten warriors of the Heaven Temple, following the starlight to arrive at this place from the Secret Domain in the center of the forest.
After he could steady his body, he rose one hand to signal the other warriors to stop. The group of Heaven Templeâs warriors halted, waiting for his order with their mouths shut.
He glared at Li Zheng Rong then stooped to search around. His nose gently fanned as if he were searching for something. Di Shan slightly changed his visage. He looked at Yang Tian Emperor as if he had suddenly remembered something.
Yang Tian Emperor stood indifferently. He slightly shook his head to signal the other to not hasten.
This place still had the traces of Chu Bai Qing killing beasts. Although Yang Tian Emperor was careful enough to clean it up, if the other was a mindful person, he could see some streaks.
Apparently, Qiu Hong was that sort of person.
He seemed to have some magical power. After he took a tour around the place, he didnât say anything while pressing his slender and delicate white hand, more beautiful than the female hand, on the ground.
Light ash-gray smoke diffused from his fingers, swaying into the earth like worms. They quickly moved underground.
Qiu Hong closed his eyes, as a strange energy wave rippled from him. His body was swaying in the wind, as if he had no bones in his body. This looked extremely eccentric.
Afterward, the light smoke he had released came back to him, entering his body through his fingers.
Qiu Hong stood upright. He didnât sway with the wind anymore. His eyes opened on his stiff face as he said, âChu Bai Qing had come here, and so had Ning Du Quan. If anything happened to them, itâs because of you guys.â
He pointed at Yang Tian Emperor, Di Shan, and Li Zheng Rong.
âHowever, itâs impossible to kill them with your cultivation base and realm.â Qiu Hong mused for a while and then said, âI can sense the aura of the Monster Clan. Itâs certain that the hotshots of the Monster Clan had helped you. This place belongs to Blood-maned, so he must have joined this battle.â
He just assumed from the evidence he got and arranged the whole things again. They matched, as though he had seen what happened with his own eyes.
His voice was confirmative. Although his tone and words were slow-witted, he had the absolute confidence. Apparently, he agreed with his own assumption.
None of the warriors accompanying him doubted his opinion. They trusted him almost immediately. They all knew Qiu Hongâs ability, so they knew his assumption wouldnât be wrong.
Yang Tian Emperor kept a cold face while observing carefully. Then, he begrudgingly accepted the fact that, whether he admitted it or not, he couldnât change the direction of this eventâs development.
âBe careful!â Li Zheng Rong sighed, talking in a low tone. âQiu Hongâs a dangerous person. Although he has only the Spirit Realm cultivation base, he could fight a tied battle with the True God Realm warriors.â
Yang Tian Emperor and Di Shan were grim.
âTell me the reasons,â Qiu Hong didnât hasten to attack them. He kept talking with a dull voice. âWhy did you guys join hands with the Monster Clan? Why did you kill our Heaven Templeâs warriors?â
He paused for a while and then continued. âThe reasons why you guys are still alive was because you hadnât attacked the seven ancient factionsâ warriors. But now, youâre walking the same path with the Monster Clan. This means you are standing on the opposite side to us. I think, without a reasonable explanation, I can only kill you all.â
Qiu Hong spoke as if it was the most natural thing.
Yang Tian Emperor cracked a smile. âThen itâs simple. You die, or we die.â
âGood then,â Qiu Hong nodded and attacked them immediately.
The two high-grade existences of the Monster Clan, Fiery Dragon and Blood-maned, were quarreling. They slowly exposed themselves.
âFiery Dragon, you are an a*shole! You want to take benefit from this alone! Harrumph, I know what you think. You are waiting until your energy reaches the acme and you will find me and take revenge, right?â Blood-maned grunted. âIâm telling you, you will never be my rival! I will always subdue you!â
âBlood-maned, you shouldnât be so contented. After Iâve refined my body this time, I will break to another level. Then, I will kick youâre a*s easily!â said Fiery Dragon angrily.
When the beasts communicated, they always made it simple and savage. They wouldnât be wordy or probing too much. They were always frank; It would be joining hands or being the enemy⌠or shouting at each other.
âAh!â Blood-maned suddenly shouted. He looked around and cursed. âSomeoneâs swaggering in my territory! Not good! They are above the lake!â
Fiery Dragon also cursed. âThey must be the damn humans. They came already. Grrrr, I hate them!â
Blood-maned was roaring like an erupting volcano. He wanted to go to the lake immediately.
Right at this moment, a cold, gloomy voice arose. âMisters, I want to discuss something with you.â
Blood-maned and Fiery Dragon halted, their face grim.
Comoros and Cassidy, the two sages of the Ghost Mark Clan, emerged from the forest. Their spooky deep green eyes gazed at Blood-maned and Fiery Dragon, but their attitude wasnât clear.
âGhost Mark Clan!â Blood-maned snorted, his face impatient. âYouâve been strolling around the Perpetual Night Forest for so long. What do you want after all? No matter what you want to do, do it quick. Donât be sticky here. Youâre so annoying!â
Comoros darkened his face. âWe come to ask why Fiery Dragon wants to protect the humans.â
Fiery Dragon didnât put him in his mind. âWhat does it matter to you? Should you be able to control who I should protect? This is the Perpetual Night Forest, our Monster Clanâs territory. It isnât your Shady Firmament Old Mound. Do you think you could chair everything here?â
âFiery Dragon, what is he babbling about?â Blood-maned harrumphed.
âHe wants to kill Shi Yan,â Fiery Dragon faced up, talking as if he were really irritated. âThat kid is my distinguished guest. How can I let these cunning folks kill him? I want to favor him more.â
Of course, Blood-maned knew what âfavorâ he mentioned. He almost didnât hesitate and nodded continually. âYou guys canât kill him. Heâs useful to us. I donât care if you want to kill anyone else. But if you want to touch him, donât blame me for being impolite!â
âI donât understand why the strong beasts like you guys need a human kid?â Cassidy couldnât understand their points.
âI canât explain it to you guys,â Apparently, Fiery Dragon didnât want to answer.
âCan you not protect him?â Comoros pondered and then shouted, his face malicious.
âStop being arrogant in front of us. This place is the Perpetual Night Forest. The Ghost Mark Clan canât swagger here!â Blood-manedâs aura bloomed out. He couldnât hold it but attack the others.
âKill!â Comoros was also stimulated. The Yin Written Charm Scripture needed strong souls. If they could get the souls of Blood-maned and Fiery Dragon, their big business would be done. He thought he could bet on it this time.
Ji Mu and Yue Ying were running as fast as if they were flying. They almost got there.
Seeing the star dots falling like a heavy rain toward a lake, Ji Mu and Yue Ying were excited. They kept complimenting.

Fierce noise of energy impact arose from that area. The shocking waves shook the entire ground. A frightened streak appeared across Ji Muâs eyes. He shouted, âFurious battles are ahead of us. Two places⌠Thereâre True God Realm warriors!â
Yue Ying changed her face dramatically. She hesitated and then asked, âDo we need to notify our Master?â
âOf course!â Ji Mu affirmed, âShi Yan wouldnât be safe in any area. I think these battles relate to him!â
Yue Ying agreed. She nodded continually as she started to send the news to Yun Hao.
