655: Return to Chaotic Soul Mountain!

Netherworld Cold chuckled:

"Big Brother usually spends all his effort guarding against outsiders; who would have thought a family member would cause trouble behind his back? This matter naturally isn't Big Brother's fault. It's just that my Second Brother is truly ruthless and cruel. Once I obtain the Legacy, I will definitely make sure he dies without a burial place!"

"Besides, this matter can be considered a blessing in disguise. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have planned to take Revered Master as my Revered Master yet."

"I just didn't expect that Second Brother would do such a thing!"

You Mingcheng said coldly:

"Yes, I thought that since Father King had already given me the power, he would settle down. I didn't expect it to come to this—kin killing kin, it's unbelievable..."

While the two brothers were talking, one of the three people on the ground spoke up:

"First Highness, Ninth Highness, we are willing to surrender to Cang Kong City. We hope your highnesses will show mercy!"

Hearing this, another person also hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Yes, yes, I am willing to defect to Cang Kong City. I know many secrets of the Xuantian Sect, and I can tell them all to you. I only ask for a way to live."

You Mingcheng thought for a few moments and decided to bring these people back to Cang Kong City first, to be dealt with later when he was free.

Thus, Netherworld Cold waved his hand, sealed the Five Senses and Six Perceptions of the three people, placed them into a Storage Pouch, and turned to say to Lu Hao:

"Revered Master, I have finished handling it. I wonder if we should now..."

Netherworld Cold wanted to return to the Mine to continue planning for that Altar, but he didn't know if Revered Master was willing, so he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Lu Hao looked at the two brothers who had finished their business and nodded:

"Alright, this is no place to linger. The commotion just now was too great; I expect more Cultivators will arrive soon. Let's return to the Mine first."

Netherworld Cold said in surprise:

"Return to the Mine? Revered Master, I was already exposed when I came out. If we go back, wouldn't it be..."

Lu Hao said dismissively:

"Don't worry, just follow me."

"Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them vanished instantly.

Leaving behind only a devastated battlefield and space that continued to be torn apart, proving that a terrifying battle had once taken place here.

At Chaotic Soul Mountain, fierce winds howled, and dark clouds pressed down from above.

The seven experts from various major forces were still gathered around that Formation, their brows furrowed as they argued incessantly.

The compass in Duanmu Qin's hand spun rapidly as he muttered under his breath, attempting to deduce the location of the Formation's eye. But no matter how hard he tried, his mind remained a chaotic mess... Just as they were focusing all their efforts on studying the Formation, the air above Chaotic Soul Mountain rippled slightly, like an inconspicuous breeze passing by.

There were no fluctuations of spiritual power, nor any sound of space being torn.

Lu Hao appeared above the Formation with the two Netherworld brothers.

"Revered Master, there is a Formation here. If we go back, won't we be exposed? The seven people here are all experts, even stronger than the previous five."

Lu Hao waved his hand and said softly:

"Just follow."

With that, Lu Hao led the two of them, stepping into the Formation in one stride and returning to the previous Mine.

The two Netherworld brothers held their breath as they entered the Formation, their hearts jumping into their throats.

But to their surprise, as they passed through the Formation, they didn't seem to cause any fluctuations; they just walked straight in?

Hmm? Could it be that the Formation these seven people set up is a fake?

That shouldn't be right; I clearly felt myself being detected when I broke out... Just what kind of methods did Revered Master use to be able to avoid the detection of these seven people so easily?

As they thought about it, the three had already returned to the familiar Mine. It was still as oppressive as before, but Netherworld Cold let out a long sigh of relief; they were finally safe... "Sit."

Lu Hao casually pointed to several flat rocks on the ground.

The two brothers were in a rather wretched state at this moment.

You Mingcheng had lost an arm, and the severed limb still held the Dao Power of that Celestial Immortal Elder, which was constantly eroding You Mingcheng's flesh and blood, preventing the arm from regrowing. Because of this, You Mingcheng's face was currently as pale as golden paper.

Although Netherworld Cold looked fine on the outside, the Meridians in his body had been torn to shreds by the backlash of his Bloodline Cultivation Technique, and his entire body was covered in cracks. He was only holding on through his cultivation; otherwise, he would have crumbled into pieces of meat long ago.

Lu Hao looked at the two heavily injured men and didn't waste words. With a flip of his palm, two Medicinal Pills emitting a green glow floated over.

"Eat them."

The Medicinal Pills were warm to the touch. Even before they reached his mouth, just smelling the fragrance made You Mingcheng feel the depleted Immortal Essence in his body begin to stir.

"Is this... an Immortal-grade Medicinal Pill? No, Immortal-grade pills don't seem to have such a powerful effect; just smelling it can recover injuries. The grade of this pill seems even higher..."

You Mingcheng was the First Highness of Cang Kong City and was well-traveled and knowledgeable, but at this moment, his hands were trembling slightly.

A Medicinal Pill of this level, even in the treasury of Cang Kong City, would be a bottom-of-the-chest life-saver that even he wouldn't normally have access to!

Netherworld Cold also knew the value of these Medicinal Pills. The two of them didn't hesitate and immediately tilted their heads back to swallow them.

Once the Medicinal Pill entered the stomach, it instantly turned into a surging heat, like spring waters thawing, flowing through their limbs and bones.

At You Mingcheng's severed arm, granulation tissue writhed frantically, and bones crackled. In less than half a breath, the Dao Power of the Celestial Immortal Elder vanished without a trace, and a brand-new arm quickly grew out. The skin was as smooth as jade and even slightly tougher than before.

All the numerous injuries within his body also recovered immediately.

After taking the Medicinal Pill, Netherworld Cold immediately felt his shattered Meridians being forcibly bound and reshaped by a gentle yet overbearing force. His external flesh and blood were also completely baptized by the vast medicinal properties, and his cultivation, which had become somewhat obscure, surged like the sea once again.

And it was even slightly more advanced than before his heavy injuries!

"Thank you for the medicine, Revered Master!"

Netherworld Cold stood up and bowed respectfully.

Lu Hao waved his hand and found a comfortable position to lean against the stone wall. Looking at this newly accepted Disciple, his gaze became slightly more serious:

"Since you have entered my sect, I must say some unpleasant words first. I don't care much for formalities, but there is one rule: you must not bully the weak or kill the innocent indiscriminately. If I find out you are using your skills to act recklessly outside, I can save you, and I can also cripple you."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable coldness.

Although Lu Hao was unwilling to meddle in others' business, he truly could not tolerate those around him wantonly creating innocent slaughter.

This Netherworld Cold was a favored son of heaven and was born in a place like the Netherworld where the strong prey on the weak, so he likely had quite a bit of innocent blood on his hands.

Lu Hao didn't want to dwell on previous matters, but after becoming his Disciple, he could no longer act in such a way.

Netherworld Cold's expression turned solemn, and he nodded heavily:

"I will keep Revered Master's teachings firmly in mind."
