197: Prepare for the coming war

Lu Yuchen's fingertips, where threads of Karma intertwined, ultimately pointed towards a female figure shrouded in black Qi.

The image shattered, revealing a strange runic tattoo on the woman's wrist, and deep within that tattoo, a pair of crimson eyes that did not belong to a human.

“Interesting.”

“There’s still one fish that slipped through the net, truly a little mouse.”

He lowered his head, looking at Nanny who was still eagerly gazing at him, and his protective instincts were ignited.

“It seems I’ve been too complacent these past few days, to the point where I failed to detect even this small matter in advance. It appears that being a hands-off Master isn't as carefree as I thought.”

He rubbed Nanny’s small head, his voice gentle: “Nanny, be good, wait for Master here for a moment, don’t run around.”

“Master will be back soon to get justice for your Yang Yi Brother.”

He lightly drew a line in the Void Realm in front of him with his right hand.

With a soft sound.

Space, like a fragile canvas, was forcibly torn open by him, revealing a pitch-black gash.

Within it, spatial turbulence surged, exuding a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.

Lu Yuchen stepped in, and his figure disappeared into the rift.

…

Inside Yang Yi’s Immortal Cave in True One Holy Land.

“Su Yue” was facing a bronze mirror, admiring her perfect skin, a sinister curve on her lips.

Just at this moment.

Her heart skipped a beat, and a terrifying sense of crisis originating from the depths of her Soul instantly engulfed her.

It was as if she had been targeted by an unparalleled Vicious Beast.

“Not good!”

Her face changed drastically, and she immediately activated the Divine Power within her body, attempting to forcibly break through space and escape.

A man-sized opening appeared in the space within the Immortal Cave.

A figure in a green robe stepped out from the rift.

“Little mouse, seeing this Lord, why are you running?”

Lu Yuchen’s voice was calm, yet it caused “Su Yue” to tremble violently.

“It’s you!”

She looked in horror at the man who had suddenly appeared before her; at this moment, she was filled with nothing but boundless terror.

It was that Cultivator from before!

The Cultivator who killed Tykler Foss!

She clearly felt the ethereal, vast “magic power” on his body, which transcended all living beings.

“Looks like you still recognize me, too bad, no prize.” Lu Yuchen pursed his lips.

He looked at the Dark Angel wearing human skin before him, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

“Tell me, how do you want to die?”

“Die?”

Upon hearing this, the horror on “Su Yue’s” face slowly receded, replaced by a desperate madness!

“You want to kill me? It’s not that easy!”

She let out a sharp shriek!

“I offer my three thousand years of life as a sacrifice! Summon my Five-Winged Descent!”

Boom!

A terrifying black Divine Power, filled with evil and corruption, erupted from her body.

Su Yue’s delicate body shattered in the black light, replaced by a… Fallen Angel, nearly ten feet tall, with five wings on its back, holding a black scythe, and surrounded by endless black Qi!

“I am Jeraqel S, the Seventh Royal Family of the Dark Angel Clan!”

His crimson eyes stared intently at Lu Yuchen, his voice hoarse, filled with endless resentment and… a hint of fear.

“Cultivator, this King does not wish to be your enemy! We mind our own business, how about we stop here?”

Although he had forcibly recovered to the Peak of a Five-Winged Dark Angel, which was the Peak of a Martial Saint, he still had no confidence in facing this unfathomable Cultivator.

Just at this moment!

“Who dares to be so presumptuous in my True One Holy Land!”

A furious roar came from deep within the Holy Land.

Before the words finished, an old man dressed in a golden silk Daoist robe, with an immortal demeanor, had already appeared outside the Immortal Cave.

It was the Holy Lord of True One Holy Land!

A genuine, top-tier expert at the Early Stage of Martial Saint.

But when he saw the two figures confronting each other inside the Immortal Cave, his old face instantly filled with solemnity and horror.

Couldn’t see through them!

Couldn’t see through them at all!

Whether it was the five-winged monster or the green-robed youth with an unremarkable aura, he couldn't see through either of them!

He could even feel a terrifying power from both of them, strong enough to easily obliterate him!

Yet, neither of them had any Internal Energy fluctuations!

What… what exactly is going on?!

“Two sirs… why have you appeared in my True One Holy Land?” The Holy Lord forcibly suppressed the questions and tension in his heart, asking in a deep voice.

“Holy Lord, aren’t you looking for the murderer of Yang Yi?” Lu Yuchen pointed at the Five-Winged Angel, speaking lazily, “Here, the murderer is right here.”

What?!

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord’s entire body tensed up.

He looked in horror at Jeraqel S.

Jeraqel S, seeing this, laughed uproariously, his laughter filled with disdain and arrogance.

“So what if this King killed him?”

His crimson eyes swept over the two present, a smug, unconcerned grin on his face.

“To tell you the truth, this King has already established contact with my realm through the Royal Bloodline!”

“In just a few hours, the army of my Dark Angel Clan will descend upon this world!”

“As far as I know, there is a… Six-Winged expert coming to support this time!”

“At that time, you, along with this world, will become our clan’s… nourishment!”

Lu Yuchen frowned upon hearing this.

He always felt that this bird-man didn’t seem to be bluffing.

He calculated with his fingers again.

The next moment, his usually somewhat lazy face finally, for the first time, showed surprise!

Two hours!

At most two hours!

The so-called Dark Angel Clan would perform cross-world teleportation through their Royal Bloodline sensing!

“Damn it! I overplayed my hand!”

Lu Yuchen cursed inwardly.

He dared not delay.

He also began to take it seriously.

“Old man! Why are you still standing there?! If we don’t act now, everyone will be finished!”

He roared at the still-stunned True One Holy Lord!

At the same time, his Nascent Soul Eighth Layer magic power erupted, and he struck out with a palm, directly at the still arrogant Jeraqel S!

The True One Holy Lord, startled by his roar, instantly snapped back to his senses.

But looking at the two strange individuals before him, his heart was still filled with hesitation.

He didn’t know who Lu Yuchen was, and he didn’t dare to act rashly.

What if these two were in cahoots, deliberately putting on a show?

Lu Yuchen, seeing this, was so angry he almost cursed out loud on the spot!

Although he was now at the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer, he had not yet reached Soul Transformation, and facing this Five-Winged Angel, who was also at the Peak of a Martial Saint and intent on stalling for time, he found it difficult to subdue him for a while!

And time was ticking by, second by second.

The coordinates to the other world had probably already… been sent out!
