Chapter 248 - 248 Monsters

248 Monsters

At this moment, Feng Xia felt a little awkward.

Yes, it was really a little awkward.

After all, he had promised Long Da a while back that he would bring him back from the Holy Son’s Dao Platform. Not long ago, Long Da had sent news that he had almost reached his nourishment limit and could no longer grow in the egg. This time, he would definitely be able to break out of the egg!

In the end, when Feng Xia arrived at the Silver Blood Fruit Tree, he discovered that the Holy Son was only a few miles away. At that time, his entire attention was focused on how to give the Holy Son a surprise.

As for Long Da on the Holy Son’s Dao Platform…

Anyway, he really did not remember at the moment.

In that instant just now, Feng Xia had even felt a trace of worry. Had Long Da turned into ashes along with the Holy Son under his attack? Fortunately, from the looks of it, this fellow’s life force was rather strong!

“What the heck, why!”

Within the “spiderweb network”, Long Da’s voice sounded both sad and furious. “Fellow practitioner Feng, I clearly have no enmity with you, so why did you kill me as well? Do you believe that I will betray you on the spot and tell all your secrets to this dogshit Holy Son?!”

“Cough, cough, cough… It was an accident. It was really just an accident.”

Feng Xia coughed in embarrassment. “Fellow practitioner Long, by the looks of it, aren’t you completely fine?”

As Feng Xia spoke, his expression suddenly changed. He exclaimed belatedly, “Speaking of which, fellow practitioner Long, where are you now? I can sense your general location on Youniang’s spiderweb network, but it seems to be too far away. I can’t confirm the exact distance.”

Logically speaking, when the Holy Son’s body turned into ashes, there would only be two outcomes for Long Da, who was in his Dao Platform.

Either he would get turned into ashes with the Holy Son, or he would drop out in a golden flash like a monster in a video game.

However, it was obvious by now…

Long Da did not turn into ashes, nor did he drop out.

Just like that, he disappeared without a trace. If not for the fact that he could still be sensed on the spiderweb network, Feng Xia would have even started to suspect if it was Long Da’s spirit that was talking to him.

“I also don’t know where I am.”

Speaking of this matter, Long Da’s voice appeared rather confused. “After that fellow was killed by you, I lost consciousness for a short period of time. That’s why I didn’t contact you immediately. When I came back to my senses, it was as if… as if…”

His voice suddenly paused, and his tone became a little strange, as if he was weighing his words.

“As if what?”

Feng Xia could not help but pay attention.

Whether it was Long Da, Qing Lin or the Xuanwu Emperor Mo Lianque, they had all mentioned more than once that although there were all sorts of ordinary opportunities in the Demon Imperial Tombs, there were also all sorts of mysterious dangers.

For example, apart from Long Da and Feng Xia, no one else knew that the tomb of the first Demon Emperor of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was actually connected to the tomb of an expert from beyond the heavens!

Could it be that… Long Da had encountered such a danger?

However, at this moment, Long Da sighed and said, “After I regained consciousness… I seem to have appeared on another person’s Dao Platform… I don’t know who this fellow is…”

Feng Xia was stunned.

In that instant just now, he had already considered many different kinds of situations that Long Da might have found himself in, like a chaotic space, a hidden barrier, and…

However, he did not expect that after he killed the Holy Son, Long Da would actually appear in another person’s Dao Platform!

This… this was simply…

This did not make sense at all!

Feng Xia opened his mouth, and then closed it again with great difficulty and did not spit out those words.

However, he still frowned deeply. At this moment, he could sense the dilemma in Long Da’s heart. “Can you see the environment outside? Who does this Dao Platform belong to?”

“This area seems to be a medicinal field, but most of the spiritual plants and spiritual herbs have all been picked. Even the ground has been dug up… Damn it, don’t these guys know that they have to leave a chance for survival in everything they do?”

Long Da muttered a few words before falling silent again.

However, after a few moments, an ear-piercing scream suddenly sounded. It was a sound that could pierce through one’s eardrums and it suddenly exploded in Feng Xia’s ears.

“What the heck!! This guy is also that bullshit Holy Son!!”

Even though Long Da had always been arrogant, he could not help but feel boundless terror at this moment.

What did he see?

The owner of the Dao Platform he was on suddenly transformed into a handsome young man. His black hair fluttered in the wind, but his expression was exceptionally gloomy and terrifying.

The young man was sitting cross-legged by the medicinal field, circulating his unique cultivation technique. Long Da had just seen these circulating paths in the Holy Son’s body!

“This matter… this matter…” For a moment, Long Da was a little incoherent. The words he said also made everyone’s hair stand on end. “Fellow practitioner Feng, do you think the Holy Son actually doesn’t have any clones at all? And from the beginning to the end, the only thing that I’ve been staying on are the eight Dao Platforms that his true form possesses?”

Although he had already expected that the Holy Son was not dead, Feng Xia’s eyes still twitched wildly when he heard Long Da’s analysis.

The so-called clone was actually not a clone.

The Holy Son seemed to be “recovering” his cultivation, but in fact, he was using some method to project the power of his true form across space again?

It felt as if he had cut open a corpse’s chest and stuffed his heart inside.

“What kind of monster is the Holy Son’s true form?” Feng Xia could not help but mutter.

Demon beast?

Now, he was even more suspicious that His Highness the Holy Son was not a demon beast at all, nor did he have the True Dragon Bloodline that he announced to the outside world. Instead, he was some kind of even more terrifying monster!

It was as if he had seen a pair of black hands high above, controlling everything that was related to all living beings.

If Long Da’s description was true, then one could imagine that to this Holy Son, spatial distance was not a hindrance at all. Even the restrictions of the Demon Imperial Tombs might not be able to stop him!

“The Demon Imperial Tombs can’t even stop Youniang’s innate divine power, let alone such a monster. The only possibility is that there’s some other power that has imprisoned him and is forcing him to go through so much trouble…”

As he muttered to himself, Feng Xia’s train of thought gradually became clearer.

Since the Holy Son was imprisoned by some kind of power and could not unleash his full strength, then with the Holy Son’s personality, he would definitely think of ways to remove the seal.

“In that case, his main goal in entering the Demon Imperial Tombs is very likely to be…”

Feng Xia and Long Da exclaimed at almost the same time, “He’s not doing this for the fortuitous encounters. The seal that suppressed the Holy Son’s true strength is very likely in the depths of the Demon Imperial Tombs, in a mysterious place that’s connected to the Demon Imperial Tombs!”

“He’s here to break the seal!”
