Chapter 3958 - Translucent Hand

Previously, before Ye Chen Feng and Duan Ling Tian found the Profound Spirit Alliance’s base.

Although Feng Qing Yang’s soul was suppressed, he was not in any danger for the time being. He was rather surprised when he received a message from Duan Ling Tian.

“Master, I’ll be waiting for you and Mi Xuan at the entrance of the Asura Hell in a month. I’m accompanied by an Emperor of Gods. Pretend to give in and tell him you’ll lead him to rare treasures in the Asura Hell. When you arrive, the Emperor of Gods with me will extract Mi Xuan’s soul from your body.”

Originally, Feng Qing Yang hoped that Duan Ling Tian would not come to the Land of the Dead to save him after discovering he had yet to return to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. However, he also knew that he would not be able to stop Duan Ling Tian from coming. Now that he found out Duan Ling Tian was accompanied by an Emperor of Gods, he felt greatly relieved. Although he did not know how Duan Ling Tian was acquainted with an Emperor of Gods, he did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words. He knew Duan Ling Tian would not lie to him.

After receiving Duan Ling Tian’s message, Feng Qing Yang did not reply to Duan Ling Tian. After all, Duan Ling Tian’s Soul Pearl was still in his spatial ring. If he brought his spatial ring out, he would surely be discovered by Mi Xuan who was now occupying his body.

After receiving Duan Ling Tian’s message, Feng Qing Yan intentionally eased his attitude toward Mi Xuan. He began by negotiating conditions with Mi Xuan. He simply came up with conditions such as asking Mi Xuan to leave his body before they entered the Asura Hell and so on if Mi Xuan wanted him to lead him to the treasures.

Needless to say, Mi Xuan disagreed. However, seeing that Feng Qing Yang was negotiating with him, he saw it as the first sign of Feng Qing Yang caving in to his demands.

Feng Qing Yang continued his act day after day, repeating the same condition over and over again.

Feng Qing Yang said, “Mi Xuan, I’ll take you to the Asura Hell. I’ll compromise. This time, you leave my body after we enter the Asura Hell. After you leave my body, I’ll lead you to that place. Otherwise, I won’t help you. If you disagree, then there’s no need for us to negotiate anymore.”

In the beginning, Mi Xuan still felt slightly anxious when he heard these words. However, he had these words so many times now that he had grown numb to them. He said indifferently, “Feng Qing Yang, it’s best if you come up with a realistic condition.”

‘What a joke! If I leave his body, who knows what he’ll do at that time? He’s very familiar with the Asura Hell after all.’

…

In the present.

“Master!”

Feng Qing Yang, who was done acting and negotiating with Mi Xuan for a day, suddenly received a message from Duan Ling Tian. He was naturally puzzled and surprised. Since Duan Ling Tian was able to send him a message, it meant that Duan Ling Tian was in the Land of the Dead.

‘Little Tian? Aren’t we supposed to meet at the Asura Hell after a month? Only half a month has passed since then. Why is he here?’

Feng Qing Yang had been thinking of ways to compromise in the end without making Mi Xuan suspicious so that Mi Xuan would go to the Asura Hell in half a month. He did not expect his disciple to come to the Land of the Dead again before the time was up.

Soon enough, Feng Qing Yang received another message from Duan Ling Tian that dispelled his confusion.

Duan Ling Tian said solemnly, “Master, Elder Ye and I are already here. Elder Ye has also located you and Mi Xuan with his Divine Consciousness. We’ll be arriving soon. Please be careful so as to not give Mi Xuan a chance to destroy your body or hurt your soul. You have to keep your guards up…”

‘Elder Ye? He must be the Emperor of Gods whom Little Tian mentioned…’

Feng Qing Yang’s heart trembled slightly after he learned that Duan Ling Tian and the Emperor of Gods were nearby and had already found them. Then, he took a deep breath. He became vigilant and did not dare to let his guard down as he waited for Duan Ling Tian and Ye Chen Feng.

After a moment…

Boom!

An earth-shattering noise reverberated in the air, causing the Blood Mountain Range to shake. The explosion even stirred up a sandstorm in a few areas.

Following that…

“Mi Xuan! Show yourself!”

Feng Qing Yang recognized his disciple’s voice immediately. Since he could hear Duan Ling Tian, Mi Xuan could naturally hear it too.

Mi Xuan opened his eyes. A cold expression appeared on his face as he sneered and said, “Feng Qing Yang, you really have a good relationship with your disciple. He even came to the Land of the Dead for you. He even managed to find me. However, does he really think that I and the Profound Spirit Alliance are no match for him?”

Mi Xuan did not wait for Feng Qing Yang’s reply and flew to the center of Blood Mountain Range.

Similarly, when the members of the Profound Spirit Alliance, Mi Xuan’s subordinates, heard the commotion, they flew toward the source of the commotion as well. They were filled with indignance when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s arrogant tone.

When Mi Xuan drew close to the center of the mountain range, he saw the familiar purple figure surrounded by his subordinates.

“Duan Ling Tian.”

Mi Xuan landed and walked toward Duan Ling Tian. His subordinates quickly made way for him. He came to a stop in front of Duan Ling Tian and said mockingly, “You couldn’t defeat me back then at the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Do you think you can defeat me now? You’re just a rudimentary Lord of Gods.”

Mi Xuan looked at Duan Ling Tian with a contemptuous smile on his face.

Duan Ling Tian smiled brightly and said, “Mi Xuan, you’ll find out soon enough if I can defeat you or not.”

At this time, an old man suddenly stepped forward from behind Mi Xuan. He looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly as he said to Mi Xuan, “Leader, let me deal with him! I’ll chop off his head for you today!”

The old man was skinny, and he was dressed in a gray robe. As soon as he finished speaking, Divine Energy swept out of his body. Then, he tossed multiple Formation compasses up into the air.

The Formation compasses hovered in the air with the help of his Divine Energy.

The old man was none other than the Vice Leader of the Profound Spirit Alliance, the Formation master whom Mi Xuan recruited. He was a rudimentary Lord of Gods, and he was also Mi Xuan’s right-hand man.

Mi Xuan’s eyes flashed coldly as he said, “Tai Yuan, don’t underestimate him. He’s quite strong. It’s better for us to join forces and kill him. Help me with your Formations!”

“Yes, Leader!”

Following that, Divine Energy swept out of Mi Xuan’s body. Although he did not have complete control over Feng Qing Yang’s body, the power he could unleash now was stronger since he was already familiar with controlling Feng Qing Yang’s body. At the same time, he began to launch soul attacks at Duan Ling Tian.

Although Tai Yuan, the old man, felt that Mi Xuan was being too cautious, he did not hesitate and obeyed Mi Xuan’s words. As soon as Mi Xuan made a move, he flew out as well.

When the Formation compasses flew to the top of Duan Ling Tian’s head, Tai Yuan prepared to activate the Formations. Alas, at the critical moment…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Tai Yuan and the other members watched in shock and confusion as the Formation compasses were instantly reduced to dust and scattered in the air.

“Who’s there?!” the old man shouted as his expression changed drastically. He was an expert in Formation so he knew even an advanced Lord of Gods would not have been able to destroy his Formations and Formations compasses so easily. He had nurtured the compasses for many years with his soul energy, life essence, and blood so they were far superior to ordinary Formation compasses.

“Who is it?”

The other members of the Profound Spirit Alliance looked at each other in confusion as well.

Meanwhile, Mi Xuan, who was in the midst of attacking Duan Ling Tian, noticed the situation as well. His eyes widened immediately as he shouted, “There’s another person here! He brought reinforcement!”

At this moment…

Swoosh!

A gust of wind blew past before a golden figure appeared behind Mi Xuan in just a blink of an eye. Mi Xuan did not seem to notice the newcomer’s presence at all.

Duan Ling Tian and the others who were facing Mi Xuan naturally could see the figure behind Mi Xuan.

Tai Yuan’s expression changed immediately, and he quickly yelled, “Leader, watch out!”

“Huh?” Mi Xuan was startled and puzzled.

‘What’s happening? Am I in danger?’

While Mi Xuan was still confused, the golden-clad young man made his move. He raised his hand, and an invisible force swept to the top of Mi Xuan’s head.

Then, everyone watched as the energy formed an almost-translucent hand that reached down into Mi Xuan’s body, or more accurately, Feng Qing Yang’s body. Then, in just a short moment, the hand pulled out a soul from Feng Qing Yang’s body.

Feng Qing Yang’s eyes turned blank for a moment before life finally returned to them. At the same time, the aura and bearing of Feng Qing Yang’s body changed immediately.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian was overjoyed. He stepped forward immediately and called out, “Master! Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Feng Qing Yang replied. He felt as though he had woken up from a dream. He really could not believe he regained control of his body so easily. After he composed himself, he turned to look at Mi Xuan, who was in his original form.

At this moment, Mi Xuan was being held by the translucent hand formed by the golden-clad young man’s energy. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free at all.
