Chapter 188: Stone Fae
More immortals The Nightmare Knights had an ominous feeling.
This was a barren land, such that the only people here were the Ji Clans Nightmare Knights who were assigned to guard this area. Even the Ji Clans immortal rarely appeared here.
Yet, so many immortals suddenly appeared here today. This made them wonder if something huge was going to happen.
The two of you are Xia Yun clasped his fist and asked with a grim face.
Were disciples of Everchange Mountain. Im Li Xiuming, and this is my junior sister, Chaoxianggong Nisheng.
Chaoxianggong Nisheng? What an interesting name, Li Daoye remarked with a frown. How are you related to Vastsea Country?
Vastsea Country? Chaoxianggong Nisheng was perplexed. I have never heard of that place. My family name originates from my tribe, and my tribe is a far distance away from here.
Li Daoye and Fang Chen exchanged looks. Fang Chen figured that Vastsea might have been founded by offshoots of major clans, though this was just a conjecture for now.
They first exchanged names before Li Xiuming got to the point and said, My junior sister and I stumbled upon an old map, which indicates that the abode of a powerful cultivator is near here. Are you here for the same purpose too?
Xia Yun and the others racked their brains to see if they had heard about a sect named Everchange Mountain, but it didnt ring a bell for them. Xia Yun spent seconds in thought before replying, We should be after the same thing.
Thats great. Have you found the place yet? Li Xiuming asked in delight.
This Xia Yun and the others exchanged looks.
Li Xiuming noticed their hesitation and chuckled. Since fate brought us together, we can split whatever we find in there equally. You dont have to worry about us monopolizing everything.
Can I hold you to your word? Xia Yun asked.
Disciples of Everchange Mountain hold their promises, Li Xiuming replied.
Xia Yun and the others discussed this matter with Fang Chen, and they eventually decided to bring Li Xiuming and Chaoxianggong Nisheng with them.
They figured that even if they didnt lead them, it was only a matter of them before the two of them found their way. Besides, Li Xiuming and Chaoxianggong Nisheng were stronger than Xia Yun, so it would be better to work together with them rather than to work against them.
Now that the door is closed, it can only be opened a year later, he murmured with a sneer. He then instructed his subordinates, Quick, inform the Ji Clan that several immortals have intruded on this place and I have trapped them inside.
Yes, sir!
A few Nightmare Knights quickly left. The remaining ones revealed gleeful smiles.
One of them turned to the leader of the Nightmare Knights and said, Chief, its lucky that you are sharp-witted. Those immortals might be strong, but their heads arent too good. How can they enter such a place thinking it through? Hah, theres no way they can survive a year inside. Even the immortal worshiped by our Ji Clan dares not to carelessly enter the cavern!
Shortly after Fang Chen and the others entered the cavern, they found themselves standing in the middle of a lush valley. Just then, a loud rumble echoed from the entrance behind them.
A golden restriction art reminiscent of eight trigrams had sealed off the entrance!
This is a formidable restriction art! Li Daoye used his art of omen reading to inspect the restriction art before remarking, This restriction art has a strong aura. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator wont be able to easily breach it.
Its fine. Itll dissipate within ten days. I doubt those mortals would dare deceive us, Xia Yun replied with a calm smile.
Look! Are those Nightmare Steeds? Li Daoye suddenly pointed in the distance.
A massive herd comprising hundreds of steeds galloped past them. All of them were incredibly brawny. They were the Nightmare Knights mounts, the Nightmare Steeds.
They have been nourished by spirit ki, but not so much that they turn into faes, Li Xiuming said with a smile. Those steeds are probably ordinary horses that the owner of this place rears here, but they evolved over time till they are comparable to some martial artists.
Senior, does that mean that there are faes here? Chaoxianggong Nisheng asked.
Faes!
Xia Yun and the others turned grim. Faes had means that were not to be underestimated, though they did figure that a place fraught with danger like this was likely to have a fae or two.
You and your inauspicious mouth! Li Daoye screeched. See, a fae is heading here now!
Around three hundred meters away from them, a pile of stones suddenly stood up and transformed into a huge creature that was over six meters tall. Dark-green flames ignited on its body, as it coldly eyed the crowd.
