Chapter 559: Black Clouds

Chapter 559: Black Clouds

All three hundred and thirty-three entrants made it into the Forest of Swords and the shining portal disappeared. Not a single trace was left behind. Beyond where the portal had been, the trees swayed slightly under a weak breeze as if waving goodbye.

Nothing else would happen here until two weeks later. At that time, all the entrants that had gone in would be deposited outside by the mysterious energy that controlled the secret realm. During this time, these disciples would have to rely on themselves for their successes and failures.

The immortals that had gathered to send off their disciples remained behind in a loose group. Some that knew each other started chatting. They shared their recent achievements and spread gossip.

Brother Hou, we have two weeks to wait, lets get drunk! Someone said excitedly.

The Gulf of Giant Tortoises is located in the neighboring province, does anyone want to explore it with me? Another person shouted.

Oh, that sounds interesting!

"Count me in!"

Amidst the conversation, Chen Wentian stood alone to one side and nobody paid him any attention. His eyes were closed as if he was pondering something.

One immortal finished exchanging pleasantries and chose to leave first. He was ancient and frail. He seemed to have half a step into the grave already. He probably wanted to return to close-door meditation as soon as possible to preserve his life energy.

He rose into the air quickly. As he shot into the fog that rested above the arena, there was a sudden burst of spiritual energy followed by a dull roar like thunder.

The limp figure of the old immortal fell out of the clouds. His clothes were in tatters and he was covered in what seemed like ash. He was about to crash into the stone tiles of the arena but a couple of immortals caught him and brought him over.

What happened?

Is Old Luo dead?

What is going on? Reêad latest novels at novelhall.comediately, the remaining immortals, that now numbered twenty-four, became alert. The victim, named Immortal Ghost Sword Luo Ye, was still alive but only barely. His breathing was ragged and he was coughing up blood.

Something in the clouds had done this, something powerful. This astonished many of the immortals. The cultivation world was dangerous but few expected such dangers deep within human territory. At least, a being that could injure someone like Mo Ye to this extent should not have appeared.

Everyone spread out their spiritual sense into the clouds and their expressions quickly became even gloomier.

Su Tan continued, All we have to do is force our way out of the domain and send off emergency talismans. When our Spirit Kings come, we will have nothing to fear. To do so, I think everyone has realized, its quite simple.

She paused and pointed her sword straight up, We all charge up. We maintain a close formation and launch attacks indiscriminately to protect all angles. We dont stop until we break through and see the sun.

Alright!

Good!

Lets do it!

In an instant, the fighting spirits of the gathered immortals rose. Each one of them had experienced countless battles to get to their current position. They werent paper tigers.

Gather your strength. I will give you a minute to prepare to fight for your lives. If anyone dares to not give it their all, I will punish you and your sect with the full authority of the Immortal Association!

Yes!

Of course!

Hel heuhh!

Suddenly, amidst the enthusiastic cheers, there was a strangled shout.

Before anyone could react, one of the immortals in their midst spewed a mouthful of black blood and collapsed.
