Chapter 560: Heart Extraction

Chapter 560: Heart Extraction

"The immortal tomb's gate has opened again!"

"It must be that Foundation Building Realm cultivator!"

When everyone saw the tomb's gate reopening, curiosity flickered in their eyes.

Chai Long grinned. "Chai Shun, what do you think will be the fate of Senior Dongfang?"

Chai Shun glanced at him. "None of your business."

Chai Long chuckled to himself. "I will tell you what will happen to him: he'll be robbed and killed."

Chai Shun's eyes filled with worry. Though reluctant to admit it, he knew Chai Long's words might hold true.

All eyes were fixed on the tomb's entrance, including the son of the Azure Dao Prefecture’s Prefect, and the four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. For some reason, they all felt a hint of tension. After all, that individual might have gained the tomb's inheritance.

The owner of the tomb was at least a Profound Immortal. Such an inheritance was incredibly precious even for the son of a Prefect.

Gradually, a figure walked out from the tomb.

Who else could it be but the Foundation Building Realm cultivator?

The old woman and the others exchanged glances, their eyes dark as they fixed them on Fang Chen.

Just as someone was about to speak, they suddenly noticed dozens of figures following behind Fang Chen.

A cultivator suddenly exclaimed, "Cousin!?"

Following him, many shouts rang out.

"Younger sister!"

"Youngest!"

"Disciple!"

"Hiss..."

The cultivators who had entered the tomb all gasped in astonishment.

Weren't these twenty Qi Condensation cultivators supposed to have been skinned alive and offered as tomb sacrifices? How were they now alive and well? Could it be that they were seeing ghosts in broad daylight?

"I've been cultivating for many years, and I've finally seen the legendary ghosts. I'm certain that this group, including that Foundation Building Realm cultivator, must have died. They definitely aren't living people," a cultivator said confidently.

The old woman and others revealed mocking expressions.

Chai Long even gently patted Chai Shun's shoulder, pretending to console him.

Fang Chen said in surprise, "Immortal fate is bestowed by the heavens. Why would I hand it over to you? Daoist Qi, are you joking with me?"

Qi Ran's expression darkened, and his smile was stripped of any warmth within seconds. "I'm joking?"

He said, "Listen to my tone. Does it sound like I'm joking with you? You don't understand. Be it walking on this earth or flying in the sky, none of them belong outside the jurisdiction of the court. Daoist Dongfang , it would be best for you not to make me repeat myself a third time."

Elder Yuan chuckled. "Lord, why not just take him back to the Azure Dao Prefecture for further questioning?"

The crowd shivered slightly. It was a desperate situation. If this Foundation Building Realm cultivator was taken away now, he might disappear without a trace!

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out accompanied by a chilling wind. "The likes of you want to bring my lord away... Haha..."

The crowd was startled as they saw a white paper figure standing beside Elder Yuan. The figure's hand was pulling out a massive heart from Elder Yuan's chest, gripping not only a huge heart but also a Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul was squealing in terror. However, its screams were soon silenced as the paper figure swallowed it whole.

Elder Yuan, who had an imposing aura enough to intimidate the old woman and her companions moments ago, now turned into an empty corpse.

The old woman and her companions gasped in shock. They froze in place, turning stiff.

These two paper figures... how did they exit the immortal tomb!?

Even the group of Qi Refining Realm cultivators behind Fang Chen were shocked. They had thought those two paper figures remained in the tomb and had never imagined that they would follow them all the way out and even exit the immortal tomb!

The remaining guards of Qi Ran were furious and shocked, but before they could react, their heads were swiftly severed. Over a dozen cultivators with decent cultivation bases were killed just like that.

Meanwhile, a solemn face black paper figure stood behind them, its cheeks adorned crimson, making it even more eerie.

"You..."

Qi Ran was horrified. He soared into the air suddenly. However, as soon as he left the earth, a hand caught his shoulder, bringing him back down and holding him firmly.

The black and white paper figure gripped Qi Ran's shoulders and looked toward Fang Chen.

"Lord, how should we deal with him?"

"Daoist Dongfang, it's a misunderstanding! A grave misunderstanding!" Qi Ran said urgently.

He finally realized the situation. These two paper figures were likely the great immortal fate that Fang Chen had obtained from the tomb! Even Elder Yuan who was in the Enlightenment Realm had been killed easily. The strength of these two paper figures might be at the Soul Splitting Realm!
