Necropolis Immortal

t look very pretty, but none of you realize that she possesses the heart of a, of a scorpion!” Ge Yanxia felt rather smug that she’d come up with several human idioms.
“If you don’t want to offend Dusk Province, I’ll do the deed and execute her right here!”

Though weakened, she still had a cultivation at the origin dao realm.
The only things she feared were the Exalted celestial emperor and the Exalted Chart above him.

The celestial emperor hesitated as well.
Deep down, he very much wished that Ge Yanxia would kill Qing Yu.
If that happened, there would be a perfectly legitimate reason for the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals to fall into his hands.
With that treasure in hand, he could awaken the bloodline of the Exalted Divines and welcome the tribe back to the world.

However, now wasn’t the time to arbitrarily decide where the truth lay.
If the fetus were to descend upon the world, all of Exalted Major would be transformed into demonic soil.
To dispose of it, he had to rely on Lu Yun’s Yi Wood Cleansing Thunder.
Moreover, he couldn’t be certain whether Ge Yanxia was speaking the truth.
Therefore, he remained staunchly in front of Qing Yu and prevented the fur seal from harming the girl.

“Step aside, your Exalted Major can’t bear the consequences if Lu Yun succeeds.
Also, the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals is on her.
Don’t you want it?” Ge Yanxia’s irises were pure crimson.
It wanted to kill Qing Yu and obtain the Embittered Bamboo from her at all costs.
As one of the ten great connate spirit roots, the demon fetus would be as good as born with a sacrifice of that caliber!

“I see, then don’t blame me for this… die!!” With a furious shriek, colossal waves surged from the fur seal, the power of the inexhaustible seawater shaping into a massive whirlpool.

Blanching violently, the celestial emperor quickly retreated.
The seawater was inconceivably dangerous, as it’d submerge the entire mausoleum once it crashed down.

“You… stop this at once!!” he shouted frantically.
However, lips curled into a malevolent smile, the fur seal didn’t show any hint of stopping.
Space had become a small world of its own above her head, one filled with an increasingly higher level of seawater.

Hum!

Boooom!

A pillar of white light suddenly tore through the void and blew up the miniature world.
At the same time, a scorching bead rose into the sky and evaporated the seawater within with fearsome heat waves.

A man clad in blue walked out of the emptiness, crystal cannon in one hand and the connate Divine Fire Bead in the other.

“It’s you!!” Ge Yanxia stiffened at the sight.

“Yin Qingran!!” exclaimed a nearby Ling Chenzu.

Yin Qingran had stolen the Divine Fire Bead and hung the Ling Clan out to dry against the zombie of the fire god.
The clan had killed the zombie in the end, but more than two hundred immortals had paid for that feat with their lives.

With no more than a few dozen people left in his team, Ling Chengzu had had no choice but to rejoin the clan’s main group and convene with the Exalted celestial emperor.
To think they’d run into the Yin bastard here!

“So you’re the one called Yin Qingran!” Ge Yanxia bared her fangs, bovine eyes full of rage.
Yin Qingran had been the one who’d ruined her first set of plans!

“Yin Qingran? What’s going on here?!” The celestial emperor recognized Yin Qingran, of course, but hadn’t expected to see the fellow appear with a crystal cannon and a connate-grade treasure… Perhaps this genius who’d covered three provinces of Exalted Major with his phenomenon of ascension had come across another fortuitous encounter!

“Yin Qingran, hand over the Divine Fire Bead, or else… our Ling Clan will see your Yin Clan exterminated even if it costs us our lives!” Ling Chengzu seethed.

The Exalted celestial emperor frowned faintly.

“This old cow is the demon fetus’ lapdog.” Lu Yun ignored Ling Chengzu and flashed a cold smile at Ge Yanxia.
“The younglings it brought along were meant to be sacrifices for the demon fetus.
Thankfully, I disrupted its plans.

“Miss Qing Yu possesses a connate spirit root.
That’s why the creature is so anxious to attack the young lady.
It wants to steal the spirit root and sacrifice it to the demon fetus.”

“You… die already!!” Seeing Yin Qingran immediately reminded Ge Yanxia of what had happened earlier.
This kid had ruined her plans twice in a row, so she hated Yin Qingran’s guts far more than she’d ever hated Lu Yun.

Leaping into the air, the creature lunged at the newcomer.

The immortals who’d come here naturally knew what the demon fetus was, and were also aware of the true goal in the tomb.
Dumbfounded by what they were witnessing, they had some trouble collecting themselves.
Ge Yanxia, an ignorant, benighted fur seal, was a servant of the demon fetus?

Boom!

Lu Yun lifted his crystal cannon and fired again at Ge Yanxia.
The creature no longer had the ripple-like treasure with it, but she certainly possessed other defensive treasures.
Therefore, while the attack from the cannon sent her flying, it did so in a way that defied common sense.
The fur seal’s enormous frame drew a strange arc in the air and crashed heavily into the pillar of black smoke.

Bang!

The inky pillar broke apart into pieces.
