C1164 Earth fiend sect heavenly dipper city

The mountain range was dark red in color, as if it had been bathed in blood. The air was filled with a light red mist, and a faint smell of blood and a fiendish aura permeated the air.

In the depths of the mountain range, there were several towering peaks that reached into the clouds. One could vaguely see rows upon rows of buildings and the shadows of people shuttling across the peaks.

The mountain was surrounded by blood-red clouds and was able to block out divine sense detection. Furthermore, the fiendish aura here was much stronger than in other places.

If one did not practice a special technique, even if a Martial Monarch came here, it would not be long before they would be corroded by the fiendish aura.

This was the famous Earth Fiend Mountain Range of Essence domain, the place where the was located.

To the people of the Soaring Cloud Empire, this mountain range was a taboo. Countless experts of the Soaring Cloud Empire were bleeding from it.

On the opposite side of the Earth Fiend Mountain Range, one could vaguely see a vast city that was like a crouching dragon lying in wait. The city was very big, with streams of people and it was bustling with activity.

In the air above the city, wind and clouds gathered, and spirit energy surged like a tide.

Within the city, a powerful and obscure aura permeated the air. This was the presence of the experts guarding this place.

This Tiangang City, was established by the Soaring Cloud Empire as a precaution against the Earth Evil Sect. It was an undying pass that kept the people of the Earth Evil Sect outside for countless of times, preventing them from entering the territory of the Soaring Cloud Empire.

The city walls were ten feet thick and as tall as a hundred feet. It was said that when they were building the Immortal God Pass, they had used the Expert of Martial Saint stage's bones and a large amount of sacred materials to merge with it.

This Tiangang City was very special, it was directly under the imperial family's control, just like the few other cities in Imperial City. Inside this place, there was the second army of the Soaring Cloud Empire, the astral plane Guards that were as famous as the Black Armored Iron Army.

It could be said that the number of strong warriors in the city was second only to the Lingxiao City in the capital.

However, ever since Jun Moran took over the Earth Evil Sect, she did not come to attack him again on a large scale. There were only small-scale conflicts, and the two sides did not have any expert of Quasi-saint stage s fighting each other, so no one had seen whether or not there were any expert of Quasi-saint stage in the city.

However, thinking about the importance of this place to the Soaring Cloud Empire, if one were to say that there was no Quasi-Saint here, then no one would believe it.

Furthermore, the reason why the Tiangang City's reputation was spread far and wide was because there was a powerful sacred artifact of the Soaring Cloud Empire — — the astral plane Sword.

It was said that the astral plane Sword had reached the high level of the Sixth Order and had a strong spirit. Even without someone to activate it, it could still unleash a strong power.

Even Ling Xiao, the founder of the Soaring Cloud Empire back then did not have the ability to bring it away from the Tiangang City. He could only allow it to remain in the Tiangang City to intimidate the great enemy who was five kilometers away.

At this moment, in the Earth Fiend Mountain Range, at the back of the main peak, a blood-red fiendish aura was about to take the shape of a fog.

Blood-red mist curled up around it, and a blood-red palace could be vaguely seen. A tyrannical aura could be felt within it, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to freeze.

Within a secret room in the hall, a thin and refined old man sat cross-legged as a faintly discernible pressure emitted from his body. The old man's eyes were tightly shut, and he seemed to have sunk into a deep cultivation.

Suddenly, the old man's statue-like body shook. He opened his eyes and a dark red light shot out. "Wah!" The old man spat out a mouthful of blood and cried out in sorrow.

"Yue'er, my grandson!"

"Who?" Who exactly is it? " The elder's eyes were sharp as he roared. His voice contained a grief greater than death itself.

A powerful aura exploded from his body, causing the secret room to tremble non-stop. Rays of spirit pattern flashing restrictions appeared and rippled outwards.

This cyan-robed elder was the sect master of the Earth Evil Sect, Jun Moran. He was an extremely powerful and established Martial sovereign perfection expert, and when Ling Ao was still a Martial King, he already had this level of cultivation.

After dozens of years, although he still hadn't taken that step, after all these years of accumulation, his strength had become many times stronger than before.

Jun Moran's aura turned berserk as he stared with scarlet eyes at a shattered jade chip in his hands. There was a mysterious aura lingering around it and if Ling Yun was here, he would definitely have discovered that it was the aura of Jun Yue's soul.

With a "bang," the jade chip crumbled to dust and the wisp of soul aura was about to dissipate into thin air as well.

"No matter who you are, I, Jun Moran, will not rest until you are dead!" Jun Moran's eyes were scarlet red but cold, his hand clawed, the space in front of him seemed to solidify, imprisoning the spirit Qi that was about to dissipate.

With a flip of his wrist, he held a palm-sized jade plate in his palm. The jade plate was engraved with many profound and obscure spirit markings, like an antelope hanging at its horns;

This jade plate was precisely the one Jun Yue had used when he entered the hunting grounds with Wen Shang's help during the Soaring Cloud Empire Royal Family's Winter Hunt.

Jun Moran's fingertip moved, a wave of dark red spirit energy whizzed out and rushed into the jade plate, causing the jade plate to release a large amount of light. The densely packed spirit patterns on the jade plate's surface instantly bloomed with a bright light.

"Tracing back!"

With a light shout, Jun Moran sealed that strand of Jun Yue's soul aura into the jade plate.

Immediately, the Spirit Tattoos on the jade plate started to move even more violently, as if it was about to break away from the jade plate. Even the jade plate was trembling uncontrollably.

"Could it be that it was one of the Old Monster's residual soul that did this?" Jun Moran's pupils contracted as his expression changed slightly.

It could clearly be seen that there were tiny wrinkles on his forehead and at the corners of his eyes. The gray hair around his ears had turned snow-white.

Tracing back to the origin would involve a great deal of time. Other than Martial God who had jumped out of the river of time, no one else would dare to touch them. As long as they did, they would definitely be affected by the erosion of time.

In that instant, Jun Moran's lifespan was taken away by at least eighty years.

This was not the first time he had used this jade plate. Previously, when he used this secret technique to go back to origin ability, the stronger the person involved, the more intense the jade plate's reaction was.

In the past, an elder from the Earth Evil Sect who was close to him had accidentally fallen, and he had personally calculated it himself. This involved a Martial Sovereign, which meant that the elder had only lost two years of his lifespan and a little bit of his blood energy.

But this time, he had instantly lost eighty years of life. Could it be that the person who attacked his grandson Jun Yue was an expert who was a Martial Emperor or higher?

Jun Moran's heart gradually sank!
