[A/N- I am outside so can't access to my equipments...so sorry but no edit.]
The room turned silent as the words of Orange Masked Figure's words echoed in their minds. They had almost forgotten about such a big incident.
The Green Masked rested his hands on the table and asked.
"You think the group who destroyed the Wind Flower Sect is also the one who is after us?"
The Orange Masked nodded.
"Yes, otherwise I can't think of a reason any other group would attack us for. And given by the gravity of the situation, the danger is high, potential destruction of our organisation even. There are only a few who can do that, after all. The Sects won't do it, and that leaves us with the Empire and the group that destroyed the Wind Flower Sect."
The Green Masked remained silent for a while before replying.
"You're right. They're mysterious and powerful. We know absolutely nothing about them so it could be that they're Targeting us. But it why?"
The Red Masked shrugged.
"It doesn't really matter at this point. All we know is that there is an enemy that could potentially kill all of us so we need to prepare. Let's head to the Main Base, if we're all together then we have a high chance of survival."
The Green Masked lingered for a while before standing up.
"Then why are we wasting time? Let's go."
His partners stood up and left the room, leaving it once again shrouded in darkness.
....
High in the sky, a large fissure in space formed and black mist poured out from it. The winds blew it away quickly, showing a group of five figures clad in black clothes and armours, having a demonic wooden mask on their faces.
Shen Yu crossed his arms over his chest and looked down in surprise. He mumbled as his voice, cold and sinister sounded.
"Are you sure?"
Ying Yue nodded, following his gaze down.
There was a valley between two giant moutains and they were currently looking at the bottom of it. It was as if a heavenly river had once travelled through the mountain, making the deep valleys.
However, that wasn't what surprised Shen Yu. It was the tall walls of darkness not far from them. It towered over not only them but even the mountain range and the valley.
The wall of darkness reached high in the sky, as if piercing the heavens and emitted a strange deathly aura which made anyone's hair stand up. The eerie atmosphere surrounding it didn't help in the slightest, not to mention the black mist that rolled down from the top of the wall of darkness.
The Hollow Mountains.
It was a region not even the outside world had explored properly because it was one of the top Death Zones where even the strongest fell.
Shen Yu nodded and raised his hand, making a dome like structure appear in the middle of valley. It was semi-transparent and seemed to be very weak as if it would disperse any moment.
Shen Yu thought for a moment and decided not to break the Rune Formation as it could be helpful in long term. He simply clicked his fingers, making a hole at the top of the dome.
It was as if a hidden ancient power had been let lose as a wave of Qi leaked from the Rune Formation and filled the surroundings.
Soon, teh wilderness was filled with inhumane sounds of horrifying Abominations as if they had all been awakened by the strange Qi.
'Well, I have never really fought since coming here so might as well as try it. Who doesn't like a adrenaline rush fight!'
A smirk appeared on Shen Yu's face as he heard the sounds which would have made mundane people dead. He closed his eyes and clicked his fingers.
"Go and show them the wrath of Divine Shadow Squad."
[... embarassing!]
Shen Yu's lips twitched as he felt a little embarassed but when he saw how his wives gave a thumbs up to him and jumped in the hole in formation, he felt a little better.
'Even after living for so many years, you still have no taste.'
[... sure, Master.]
Shen Yu then ignored the system and seperated a part of his Spirit Sense which kept an eye on all four of his wives. This was a strange Ancient hideout after all, so it was better to be safe.
He then descended slowly towards the top of the dome as the hole he had made earlier closed after the four women entered inside.
He easily stood on the semi-transparent done and smiled, feeling several gazes at him. However, this time he was feeling an rush in his body, which made his blood boil in excitement.
'Hmm, why am I so excited for a fight?'
[Master, you spent your life on street, fighting for a small piece of bread, Obviously the fighting spirit is in your blood. It's just that due to your other desirs, it was always suppressed. Now that you have finally achieved your goal and given the current situation, obviously you'll feel excited. It's not a bad thing, really. You're a Sect Leader so you need to learn to fight anyways.]
'You are right. I can't just one shot everything, Can I? Well, I can but no fun.'
Shen Yu grinned as he cracked his neck and took a deep breath. He made his rapid beating heart calm and thought.
'Bro, make my Cultivation at a level I can fight them. Give me Soul Severing Realm, that should be enough to fight them. Also, give me a Tier 6 Body.'
[Got it!]
Shen Yu instantly felt a rush of strength within him, a familiar feeling he remembered from the previous Shen Yu's life. After all, technically he didn't have a Cultivation base previously and only now he was getting a proper Cultivation base.
He relished in the wonderful feeling for a while before opening eyes, finding a pair of bloodlust filled eyes looking directly at his Soul.
"Time to enjoy the world!"
