After so many years, the girl who used to be dressed in coarse linen clothes had grown into a slender and elegant woman. Her silver robe gave her an elegant temperament as if she was the embodiment of all the love in the world.
Gradually, she no longer felt fear. She stood proudly with her chest puffed out. Her beautiful eyes emitted a holy light as she spoke in an elegant voice, "Who exactly are you people?"
Gu Dali's shriveled fingers gently stroked the straw-like beard on his chin. He smiled and said, "According to seniority, I am your Martial Granduncle."
"Master said that Great Martial Uncle is an evil wizard and has been expelled from the Witch God Shrine."
The Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess slightly furrowed her delicate brows. Her eyes were as clear as the autumn waters. Even though she knew that the old man in front of her was an evil wizard, there was no killing intent in her eyes. They were as clear as the spring of life.
Kind and innocent.
"Keke!
It doesn't matter whether I'm Great Martial Uncle or not, and it won't matter in the future. "
Gu Dali's dark red eyes were glowing as he stared at the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess' graceful figure. It was as if he wanted to see through her silver robe. However, the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess was shrouded in a layer of mist that blocked all the light in the world.
Gu Dali retracted his gaze and smirked. She was already a lamb on the chopping board, so there was no need to rush. He sneered: "Let the ritual begin."
"What is the ritual for?"
No matter how stupid the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess was, she could feel the dangerous atmosphere. It was as if everything was directed at her.
Gu Dali's eyes were filled with filth and holiness at the same time. He smiled: "Use the power of the ritual to awaken the Heavenly Witchcraft God's divine sense. Ask him to give me your body and the Heavenly Witchcraft Divine Tree."
Gu Dali trembled with excitement. His withered hands uncontrollably reached forward as if he wanted to grab the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess's body. His face was shaking with excitement. It was unknown if it was because of the Heavenly Witchcraft Divine Tree or the beautiful Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess's body. Or perhaps, it was both.
The Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess' beautiful face paled. She naturally knew what the old man before her wanted to do. She raised the silver divine staff and condensed endless shaman energy to resist.
"Little Goddess, you can't resist."
Gu Dali took out a translucent beast skin, which grew to hundreds of meters in size. It condensed into runes of mountains and rivers, devouring the witch energy from the scepter. The powerful energy directly knocked the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess to the ground.
Gu Dali put away the beast skin and laughed crazily. He walked towards the goddess and said: "If you cooperate, then this old man will be a bit gentler to you. Haha, you don't know what's good for you, little girl. I'll strip you naked and throw you into the sacrificial pond. I'll let you know what it means to wish you were dead."
Gu Dali's eyes were filled with viciousness and cruelty. He had once locked living people in the cauldron to refine their life force and increase his lifespan. Those living people didn't die because their lifespan ran out, but because they were refined to death.
Even the heretical cultivators from Senluo Temple felt that it was a pity. How could such a beautiful goddess be defiled by this old man? However, no one said anything. After all, this was the Heretical King's will. No one dared to go against his will.
The moment Gu Dali crouched down and reached out with his palm, a ripple appeared in the space behind him. Gu Dali was comparable to a late-stage Giant so he sensed it. His body tensed up and he quickly took out his beast hide.
"Pluff!"
The murderous intent behind him became even faster.
Space seemed to be torn open as an azure figure holding a white light stabbed out like lightning, piercing through Gu Dali's back and causing a large amount of blood to spurt out.
This scene happened too suddenly. In the blink of an eye, Gu Dali was already heavily injured. Half of his spine was broken. If not for the fact that every bone in his body was engraved with witchcraft text and connected as a whole, that spear would have taken his life.
He was a late-stage Giant after all. The moment the ripples appeared, he managed to dodge a fatal blow. His back was bleeding as he rolled away while using a beast hide to cover his body.
The cyan silhouette let out a soft cry of surprise and was about to attack again to completely nail Gu Dali to death. However, the five Protector Elders below the altar all attacked at the same time. Each of them unleashed a huge palm imprint that bombarded over.
"How dare you disturb the ceremony!"
Thunder pierced the sky and caused the world to tremble. The five palm attacks came crashing down like five heavenly hands.
However, in the next instant, the green figure suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the five great guardian elders' hand seals all hit empty air.
The cyan figure appeared extremely quickly, so quickly that no one could see his appearance clearly. He disappeared even faster, and in the blink of an eye, there was no longer any aura left. If it weren't for Gu Dali coughing up blood on the ground, all of the evil cultivators would have thought that everything had been an illusion.
There was a tense atmosphere around the altar. Everyone held their breaths and kept their eyes on the four corners of the altar.
A kind-looking protector pondered for a bit before saying: "It's Feng Feiyun.
After Hongyan's death, the Cloak of Invisibility fell into Feng Feiyun's hands. He must've used it to attack just now, so he must be hiding nearby right now. "
This was definitely not good news. Everyone's expressions changed drastically. The Cloak of Invisibility could completely conceal a cultivator's aura. Even if Feng Feiyun was standing right behind them, they wouldn't be able to detect him.
Everyone's body tensed up with anxiety.
"Pluff!"
On the altar, a Dark Asura Hall cultivator fell to the ground and his head flew off his neck.
No one saw who did it. They only felt a ripple in the air and a white light shot out with an extremely murderous aura. The Senluo Temple cultivator was already dead.
The five protectors wanted to take action, but the void closed once more and all the auras disappeared without a trace.
"Pluff!
Pluff!
Pluff! "
Immediately after, the other three Dark Asura Hall cultivators on the altar were also killed. Their deaths were inexplicable. No one saw who attacked them at all, but they were all dead without even a chance to fight back.
The five protectors had a bellyful of anger and could only watch as the four cultivators died without being able to help.
The heavily injured Gu Dali was so scared that his face turned ashen. He rolled off the altar and ran to the center of the five Guardian Elders. He swallowed nine black Wizard Pills in a row before he managed to stop the trickling blood. His face also regained some color.
"Five Protector Elders, as long as you are careful, you will be able to guard against that brat. Although that brat is wearing the Invisibility Treasure Robe, the instant he makes a move, he will definitely rush out of it and reveal his aura. That will be the best time to kill him."
Gu Dali's heart was filled with hatred as he gnashed his teeth. Just as he was about to succeed, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and almost took his life. If he captured this brat, he would definitely refine him to death.
The fifth protector's expression relaxed and said: "In the end, Feng Feiyun hasn't reached the Giant realm yet. He can only threaten us with a sneak attack.
As long as we are careful, he won't be able to hurt us even with the Cloak of Invisibility. "
Giants all had powerful divine intents. As long as there was an unusual fluctuation in the air, they would be able to react in the shortest amount of time and kill the threat.
"He's only one person, and his cultivation is weaker than us. Seal the space and force him out."
The five protectors took out a bloody talisman at the same time. It was more than one meter long and had the carvings of five different ancient beasts. Nine-headed Bird, Qiong Qi, Bi Fang, Bright Bird, and Fire Rat. These were all ancient beasts from the legends.
This was merely a rune carved from the blood of their descendants. The blood was already quite thin, but it still erupted with unparalleled power.
The five bloody talismans floated in the air and emitted a bloody energy that caused the sky to tremble. The void itself seemed to be on the verge of cracking.
The pressure was extremely shocking, and it caused the 20,000 plus bound Cosmos Beasts on the altar to tremble without end. They howled repeatedly, and some weaker Cosmos Beasts even directly exploded apart.
They wanted to use these five talismans to force Feng Feiyun out and suppress him.
"Feng Feiyun, just give up!
Your cultivation is too low and you are no match for us five protectors. It is not embarrassing to lose to the young master. "One of the protectors tried to persuade Feng Feiyun to admit defeat.
"If you force yourself, you will only be killed by the five talismans. If you admit defeat, you will become one of the upper echelons of Dark Asura Temple and the young master's right hand man …"
"Thump!"
The sound of chains breaking came from the altar. The entire altar trembled in an instant as a talisman tablet was thrown down from above and shattered into pieces.
"Rawr!" Then came the furious roar of a beast. It was so loud that it hurt everyone's eardrums.
Then came the sound of a series of chains snapping. While all the Dark Asura Temple cultivators were astonished, a Bi 'an more than a hundred meters tall, the size of a small mountain, stood at the top of the altar. It raised its two enormous claws and howled madly downwards, smashing a corner of the altar and causing rubble to roll down continuously.
The Bi 'an looked like a divine tiger with a white dragon head. Its eyes were even bigger than a water tank. It carried the fury of Thunder as it fiercely slammed towards one of the floating talismans.
A protector exclaimed in shock: "Feng Feiyun cut open the chains and talisman tablet on the Bi 'an's body and released it."
This was a spirit beast with the bloodline of an ancient sacred beast. It had cultivated for more than one thousand and two hundred years and was extremely powerful. It could fight against several Giants at the same time. It was originally captured by the Life Walker and suppressed by the thirty-three talismans as the main offering, but Feng Feiyun released it.
Spirit beasts had intelligence comparable to humans. Being captured and used as an offering infuriated the Bi 'an. Now that it was free, all of its anger was about to erupt.
