Chapter 602: Spirit Possession!

Chapter 602: Spirit Possession!

Spirit Cultivators! These powerful cultivators focused on refining their spirits, emerging as a fourth major system beyond Martial Cultivators, Sword Cultivators, and Inscription Cultivators!

They were also known as Anima Immortals!

The Chaos Sovereign and Stellar Margrave Feng Xuan both stood as top-tier Anima Immortals, their names echoing through the Great Dao Celestial Realm.

By Feng Xuan's side stood the young man Feng Qi, a genius Anima Immortal who had once shocked the Thunder Department. In this sacred land of thunder, he was unmatched under the age of 30!

In fact, when the first round of the Thunder Department's selection battle commenced, Feng Qi was the first to step forth!

However, as the end neared, Feng Qi seemed a changed man. Now, he was dark, ruthless, his murderous aura overwhelming, like a tempestuous storm of the soul.

All the Immortals of the Thunder Department knew the reason! His beloved, Bai Ling'er, was dead!

It was clear that Feng Xuan and Feng Qi had just returned from seeing Bai Duo.

And in this moment, Feng Qi remained heartbroken, furious, his sorrow tearing him apart.

"Cao Sheng. Did you arrange the battle sequence?" Feng Xuan, familiar with these 100 high officials of the Thunder Department, skipped any pleasantries and went straight to questioning Cao Sheng.

"Yes!" Cao Sheng grimaced. He was about to defend himself, but he was cut off.

"Set Lu Yao against the weakest opponent next, then pit him against my son in the final battle," Feng Xuan said.

"..." Cao Sheng paused. This was a mistake Bai Duo had already suffered!

Bai Ling'er had intended to surrender, her father's overconfidence leading her to a needless death.

Why would Feng Xuan, a man of such deep schemes, repeat this mistake?

By now, everyone knew of the strange circumstances surrounding Lu Yao; no longer could he be simply deemed a simple genius. Even Gu Zhenxiao wanted to dissect the boy!

But Cao Sheng dared not refuse. He turned to look at Gu Zhenxiao and Yun Yin, the latter seemingly closer to Feng Xuan, who softly asked, "Brother Feng, are you certain?"

"Yes." Feng Xuan glanced at Feng Qi. "The boy is haunted by a demon in his heart. If he avoids this life-or-death battle, it will follow him for the rest of his life."

Hearing this, the 100 high officials of the Thunder Department could only sigh.

The death of a beloved was a battle no man could retreat from! Even in the face of death, who could cower?

In fact, if Yun Xiao were in the same situation, he would charge forward no matter the opponent.

"May I have a word?" Yun Yin asked.

Together with Feng Xuan, they stepped into a swirling mist of wind and clouds.

Yun Yin looked at his old friend, speaking earnestly, "Lu Yao's strength has unnaturally grown in each duel. It defies common sense. I understand Feng Qi's desire for revenge; his talents and achievements are clear to all. But Lu Yao might be a reincarnator, not the actual person himself, perhaps even taken over by some Immortal master. This battle bodes more ill than good."

"I'm aware," Feng Xuan replied with a cold laugh. "Therefore, no matter who he claims to be, I shall meet him myself."

Yun Yin raised an eyebrow. "You plan to use spirit possession?"

"Exactly." Feng Xuan nodded.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

"That settles it then," Yun Yin agreed.

A deep, murderous intent flashed in Feng Xuan's stormy cyan eyes. "Even if the Immortal Sword Court insists on protecting him, I shall execute him first. If they merely wish to investigate this person, I can imprison his spirit for them to interrogate at leisure."

When Yun Xiao heard he was to fight first again, he knew. Whether or not the previous rounds had been manipulated, now, he was clearly set up. Were these last two rounds a path of life and death?

As Yun Xiao stepped onto the arena and saw He Buhuo as his opponent, he understood.

The eighth round was not it—it was the final one that mattered.

The enemy was magnanimous; he did not waste Yun Xiao's time this round but had arranged for him to face a weaker opponent.

He Buhuo was in the Mid Celestial Expanse Realm, weaker than Bai Ling'er and only slightly stronger than Bai Zijun.

After making his entrance, the young man raised his hand and, with a smiling face, declared, "Lu Yao, the great genius, don’t strike me, I surrender!"

"Alright." Yun Xiao was already racing against the clock.

After he surrendered, Yun Xiao left the thundercloud.

"Wait!" He Buhuo, still smiling, called after Yun Xiao.

"Something else?" Yun Xiao inquired.

"Fuck you, I hope your blind old hag of a mother rots in hell with you!" He Buhuo cursed.

Laughter erupted among the 1,000,000 Immortals of the Thunder Department, but then it was cut short by the swift flash of a sword light.

He Buhuo’s head was instantly turned to dust.

All that remained was a headless corpse, still doubled over as if laughing!

Swiftly, Yun Xiao retrieved his Sword Soul and continued on his way.

"Lu Yao!!!"

For a moment, the entire arena stared in shock, roars of anger filling the air.

"He already surrendered, the fight was over, and yet you openly committed murder! A million witnesses, you've broken the celestial laws!"

"Not even the Immortal Sword Court can protect you now!"

"Execute him right now!"

Thunderous roars pressed down like an avalanche.

Faced with the tsunami of curses, Yun Xiao's lips curled slightly, "If you wish to judge me, you may, after I finish the last round. Perhaps then, I might represent you at the Divine Gateway and redeem myself through valor."

"You!"

Spitting sounds followed, as a great many, driven to fury, visibly spat blood.

From atop the Celestial Thunder Platform, Yun Yin coldly remarked, "This boy knows he's being set up to fight Feng Qi to the death, he's completely let loose, hasn’t he?"

Feng Xuan, his gaze hollow, responded, "Quite right, the atmosphere is set."
