CHAPTER 293: CHAPTER 270: THE EMBERS EMERGE! IMMORTAL SUSPENSION IN CHAOS!

"Escaped one, did you?"

Having completed his bizarre task, the figure with the dual-faced mask looked off into the distance.

A slender silhouette, sharp as a sword, was riding on a streak of sword light, pushing his entire True Essence to the limit, tearing through the void in a frantic escape!

"This little guy is quite clever."

The bizarre dual-faced figure smiled slightly. From the moment he appeared, this little fellow named Fuu Qingxu didn’t hesitate, immediately taking to the sword light to flee wildly, narrowly escaping disaster.

"Unfortunately... all of it is a futile struggle!"

Bam—!

He stomped his foot and quickly gave chase.

Elsewhere.

Peng Nai and Gai Rong were walking along a mountain path.

"Senior Brother, how many Immortal Martial Orders have you obtained?" Peng Nai asked.

"Not many, just twenty pieces."

Gai Rong shook his head, smiling lightly.

This time during the East Profound Domain contest, Chen Zhixing, who counter-attacked Nirvana as True Self, naturally shone the brightest, becoming the most prominent figure.

However, besides Chen Zhixing, there were also many prodigies who emerged during this contest, soaring to fame with their exceptionally powerful abilities!

Among them, Gai Rong was one of the representative figures.

Originally, he was only renowned within the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, but after several battles in the East Profound Domain, he had earned a resounding reputation in this Ancient Land Mini World!

He even attracted the attention of one of the Immortal Tao Lineages, intending to recruit him!

"Twenty is not much, huh?" Peng Nai replied with a bit of envy.

By now, more than half of the East Profound Domain contest had passed, and he had only obtained a few Immortal Martial Orders.

"Young Nai, you’re still young. When you participate in the East Profound Domain contest next time, it will be your stage."

Gai Rong patted Peng Nai’s shoulder reassuringly with a smile.

The two chatted casually as they walked forward.

Rumble—!!!

Just then, a pale white vortex appeared in the sky.

"Hmm?"

Gai Rong and Peng Nai halted their steps, simultaneously looking up.

At the center of the vortex, a figure dressed in a black robe with cloud patterns, face hidden behind a golden mask inscribed with the number ’eight’ on the left forehead, holding a black long whip, emerged slowly from the vortex.

"Oh? One has cultivated the Unmoving Bright King Scripture and broken the shackles of the physical body; the other harbors several Ancient Great Demon bloodlines within his body..."

"Interesting."

The figure let out a low chuckle, then suddenly lashed out with the long whip, striking fiercely toward Peng Nai and Gai Rong!

"Come! Join the glorious evolution!"

In an instant.

Peng Nai and Gai Rong’s faces both changed drastically!

...

...

Scenes like the above continued to play out across the entire Ancient Land Mini World.

As those bizarre and mysterious gold-masked black-robed individuals descended, many top prodigies who had shone in the East Profound Domain were swiftly hunted down and absorbed into that black banner!

In front of these gold-masked black-robed individuals, the so-called supreme prodigies had no power to resist at all!

For a time, cries of anguish, pleas for mercy, roars, and shouts of battle echoed unceasingly, resounding throughout the entire Ancient Land Mini World!

The entire Ancient Land Mini World turned into an Asura Scene!

Outside Immortal Suspended Mountain.

Buzz buzz buzz~~!

The profound light mirror suspended in the void was flickering and distorting, and then all images abruptly vanished, turning into countless black ripples.

Whoosh—!!

In an instant, a great uproar arose outside the entire Immortal Suspended Mountain!

Countless cultivators’ faces changed simultaneously in astonishment!

"Hiss—! What are those people?"

"How... how did they get into the Ancient Land Mini World?"

"This... these people seem to be hunting the prodigies!!!"

Exclamations of shock rang out.

A crowd of cultivators who had rushed from all corners specifically to witness the event gasped, their faces all changing color.

"Damn it!"

"Bastards!!"

"Audacious!!"

And the various Ancient Land Saint Masters, Patriarchs of Noble Family, and others, upon seeing their own prodigies being hunted down, instantly roared in utter fury.

Aboard the grand ship where the Chen Family was located.

Bam!

Chen Daoyan suddenly stood up, his gaze fixated tightly on the now extinguished profound light mirror, his pupils constantly contracting.

"Embers?!"

Chen Daoyan squeezed out two words, his eyes flashing wildly.

The Embers Organization!

He was all too familiar with it!

Back in the day when the Ziwei Chen Family held a Southern Border training, they encountered an attack from the Embers Organization.

Later, the Chen Family’s eldest son, Chen Zhaosheng, was killed and taken by Embers, vanishing without a trace for years.

Eventually, through his deliberate inquiries, he also heard several instances of East Profound Domain prodigies suffering attacks from Embers.

He vaguely understood in his heart that the target of this mysterious organization was likely the prodigies of the East Profound Domain!

But he never expected that.

The Embers Organization would be audacious enough to directly enter the Ancient Land Mini World for slaughter!

The next moment.

The entire Immortal Suspended Mountain, countless gazes, all turned towards the three hazy Immortal Sects.

"The Immortal Tao Lineages... shouldn’t they give us an explanation?"

Qin Tianzhong suppressed the anger in his heart, speaking out first.

Just now, he watched with his own eyes as a black-robed figure wielding a whip wrapped up Gai Rong and Peng Nai fiercely!

Hiss hiss hiss.

The Immortal Sects slowly opened.

Three figures emerged from within the Immortal Sects.

A silver-haired elder woman.

An elder with an immortal demeanor.

And another, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple Taoist robe with a Purple Gold Crown.

These three were the ones responsible for this contest!

As soon as they emerged, they exchanged glances, their faces looking extremely grim.

"Three Upper Immortals, the Ancient Land Mini World of Immortal Suspended Mountain has always been controlled by you three Upper Sects. Without your permission, outsiders could never enter the Ancient Land Mini World!"

"Could you explain what’s going on?"

A Patriarch of the Longevity Family confronted them first, his words seemingly respectful but his tone carrying immense anger.

Watching their own prodigies being hunted like this, despite his fear of the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages, he could no longer keep calm.

"That’s right! First, a Nirvana Realm Great Power entered the Ancient Land Mini World to hunt Chen Zhixing, and now another group has entered the Ancient Land Mini World to hunt prodigies! Shouldn’t the Three Upper Sects give us an explanation?"

A Master of the Holy Land spoke coldly, his eyes icy.

One after another, representatives from the major forces all turned their gaze towards the middle-aged man with the Purple Gold Crown, staring at him intently.

"Gentlemen, as to why this situation has arisen, I must admit that I am just as much in the dark as all of you. My thoughts and reactions are quite similar to yours," the old man from the Immortal Ascension Sect said, bowing slightly and speaking in a deep voice.

With those words.

The elder from the Immortal Ascension Sect and the other prominent figures, as well as the silver-haired old lady and the middle-aged man with the Purple Gold Crown, all looked at each other, and then shifted their focus back to the Purple Gold Crown man, glaring at him intensely.

The middle-aged man with the Purple Gold Crown, feeling those stares, suddenly cursed aloud in his mind!

Damn!

Trying to push blame, huh?

True, he was the first to initiate an assassination attempt in the Ancient Land Mini World against Chen Zhixing.

But why are these golden masked black-robed people appearing in the Ancient Land Mini World?

He had no idea.
